For now rumors are a dime a dozen. There were rumors of Pompeo and Haley. For key spots I have to believe that Trump has had very short lists for months.
Should be a vacancy. Seeing rumors Wray will resign before inauguration. Two key positions that have to be addressed with a lot of thought. Must have strong person on top--head screwed on right but with real management skills and energy.
No, Cass Cornyn is pro war, not a neocon. Neocons are Zionist progressives who chose conservatism as a cover for their liberal domestic policy preference and a strong military to protect Israel through US hegemony.
Sadly, Hawley appears to have no principled positions on FP. He appears to me to take positions based on domestic political advantage--as he sees it. He was a prominent China hawk for a while.
Of course, this doesn't make him different than most senators, but he's smarter than most senators, which is why I find this so disappointing. He has more talent that to be JUST trying to game public opinion.
He is not acting like the forceful free spirit that he has presented himself to be. No, he is acting like the rest of the RINOs that puff smoke but fizzle out. So he is a money for favors guy. What a disappointment.
It's sort of funny that Nancy Pelosi is chiding Biden for not stepping aside gracefully when she just ran for her 20th straight term in Congress at age 84
I still think that whole event with that "strange man" coming in their house in SF was highly irregular. Where was her "round the clock" security? He gets life in prison while others who do worse get out.
The number of raw votes received by Trump in the Bronx, NYC, increased by at least 142% compared to 2016. In Queens, a 66% increase. In Manhattan, a 59% increase. In Brooklyn, a 56% increase. In Staten Island, a 23% increase
WSJ: Trump advisers are crafting plans to fulfill his mass deportation promise and considering a national emergency declaration that would enable the new administration to redirect military resources for the detention and deportation of migrants.
He gave himself away as a troll when he said the same people complaining about high grocery prices are also complaining about trouble finding "help". Trump's support was heavily skewed to the working class who don't have "help" and Dem support was heavily skewed to the people who can afford "help".
I enable comments because I like to see reasoned and civil interaction among readers that can also help inform me. Therefore JFZ applies generally. Don't need that.
That is one, among many reasons, I like your blog. Most of the readers keep it civil, provide stimulating comments, and discuss the issues and are genrally highly informed.
IMO, that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
For any who might have missed this:
"Trump told Rogan the “biggest mistake” of his 2017-21 presidency was 'I picked a few people I shouldn’t have picked".
“Neocons or bad people or disloyal people,” he told Rogan, referring to neoconservatives, policy-makers who champion an interventionist US foreign policy."
So happy to hear this. Neocons begone!
Thank God indeed.
Hope that Bolton with the handlebar moustache is out too.
But rumours of Marco Rubio as SoS???
Some things never change.

How about Devin Nunes for either AG or FBI director?

Josh Hawley from my state, Missouri, is backing Cornyn. Disappointing.
Very disappointing!
Hawley freely admits the endorsement is payback for Cornyn funding Hawley’s reelection campaign. Quid pro quo.
I saw that. I've lost any respect.
Very.
No, Cass Cornyn is pro war, not a neocon. Neocons are Zionist progressives who chose conservatism as a cover for their liberal domestic policy preference and a strong military to protect Israel through US hegemony.
Cornyn(holio) is interested in obtaining lots of rolled paper products, and, of course $$$$ . . .

Honestly, I don't know. There's something about him that makes me not trust him.
I'm turned off by politicians who are climbing up the ladder. He went from MO AG to a senator very quickly.
Agreed. He’s a little immature at times.
Yes Mark. Thank God!!!!
And so his revenge tour starts on a high note.
Mike Pompeo’s backing of the Jack Smith document inquisition killed any position in the Trump Administration, captured on Twitter forever.

Hypocrisy knows no bounds among the political class. It’s especially embedded in a creature like Pelosi.
“sort of”?
I still think that whole event with that "strange man" coming in their house in SF was highly irregular. Where was her "round the clock" security? He gets life in prison while others who do worse get out.
And they sacked the reporter who got the story right from the beginning!
It’s called Pelosi power right there in SF.

Yes, Trump won young men under 30. But get this...
Young women under 30 also shifted 11 points toward Trump in 2024.
Maybe the soy-boy era is coming to an end?
Wars against China and Russia and Iran require cannon fodder. Maybe these young men get it?
Thank you for your service and don’t let the door hit you on your way out!
Good News! You can't do this and also wage war.

Didn't JB use FEMA funds for illegals? Use those too.
Could result in illegals leaving on their own versus being interred.
Freudian or not?
Jerkoff free zone.
I think you are also missing the point. One has to do with the domestic economy the other with domestic servants.
He gave himself away as a troll when he said the same people complaining about high grocery prices are also complaining about trouble finding "help". Trump's support was heavily skewed to the working class who don't have "help" and Dem support was heavily skewed to the people who can afford "help".
I figured he was a troll, but his point seemed a bit obtuse to me. Thanks for the clarification and the JFZ action.

I am sure Santa's naughty and nice list is completely different from his 2016 list.
Great news about the adios to Sonny & Cher!
