President Elect Donald Trump has come out of the gate with a bunch of nominations for various positions in the government.
A few have not been all that surprising but the three above have given the left the vapors.
And while all kinds of people are suggesting that these folks (particularly Gaetz) are not good picks and even some republicans in the Senate are (not on the record of course) suggesting they would not be approved let me point out one key thing.
The left/media are going absolutely apoplectic over them.
So if you are having doubts about Trumps picks (particularly the pick for AG) let me remind you of the wise words of the man who four years ago returned the talent he had on loan from God.
Rush Limbaugh: The left will always tell you who they fear!
And so does the deep state.
We get one shot to dismantle this stuff. In two years there will be another presidential campaign and Donald Trump will not be running. Cripes he’s old enough that he might not even last the four years until that comes. (yes I know he’s in excellent shape but I’ve outlived a bunch of my peers who were in far better shape than me) This being the case I suggest not quibbling over choices that he apparently has given a lot of thought to since he was ready to roll with them in less than a week and put all our energies into supporting those choices and letting them run wild.
Fear makes your enemies sloppy, fear makes your enemies careless. Fear makes your enemies try to make deals in your favor.
The Biden-Harris State Department organized an in-house therapy session for employees early Friday following Donald Trump’s election victory, four sources with knowledge of the meeting told the Washington Free Beacon.
Remember these are the people who are supposed to be dealing with international problems and crisis.
One source described the meeting as a “cry session” over Trump’s victory, which is likely to usher in wholesale change at Foggy Bottom. Officials in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs have been working for months to sanction the Jewish government and withhold critical arms shipments, alleging Israel is not doing enough to provide humanitarian aid in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. They are said to have discussed the difficulty of Trump’s victory and urged employees to share their feelings in private settings.
“For four years, within the rank and file, there has been an over emphasis on people’s feelings, often with a college campus-like fervor, rather than the work of advancing America’s interests,” one U.S. official with knowledge of the meetings told the Free Beacon.
If you’re wondering why our enemies around the world are suddenly coming into line since Trump was elected, it’s likely because they know these guys aren’t running the show anymore.

As of this writing (7:45 AM) the Joe Rogan Experience podcast with Donald Trump which dropped late last night has 8.7 million views.
This is extraordinary when you consider the following:
The podcast runs almost 3 hours (2:58:50)
Trump has been around for a very long time
It’s been less than a half a day and overnight for a lot of those in the east
What are people who are watching the podcast seeing? A conversation lasting three hours. A rational conversation on all kinds of topics, from the great flip flops of the celebs who embraced Trump for decades up until the point where he was considerer a threat to the power of the left to boxing and MMF. The type of conversation that regular people might have. The type of conversation that gives you a pretty good picture of who a person actually is.
In other words the type of conversation that the media:
Doesn’t dare have about Donald Trump because it would destroy their false negative narrative
Doesn’t dare have with Kamala Harris because it would destroy their false positive narrative
Ironically after three hours with Rogan Trump went off to a rally that night, so much for the “tired” and “ducking” business.
Here is the whole thing:
There was some talk on COVID and the vaccines which is actually a weakness for Trump (but not in contrast to Harris/Biden) and the conversation on some Trump supporters being nervous about RFK’s role in the administration was interesting and groundbreaking. There was some real news broken there which is why it’s worth your time.
There was an early report that youtube was censoring the link but Rogan himself noted that there had been a tech issue that was resolved by delisting and then relisting the podcast. Frankly as a person who is still banned by Youtube it’s nice to see them not censoring this.
Of course if the crash and burn continues the campaign may change it’s mind figuring like a Hockey team pulling their goalie when down 5 with 2 minutes to go. What have you got to lose?
But Trump wasn’t the only one who was on a major podcast. JD Vance appeared on the Theo Von podcast for two hours
What is really interesting has been the feedback from so many of the over 2 million who watched the podcast who have been told by the media that Vance was “odd” or “weird” or “strange” and after seeing him for two hours found him the most normal guy in the room.
Read the comments to the podcast it’s shattering to the narrative that people have put out there on Vance and an excellent reminder that the BS the media sold during the time they hid Joe Biden cognitive decline is not the only lie that they have been pushing.
This is the type of thing people watch on their own, the media can’t hide or counter it and it’s the type of things that changes votes.
These two podcasts are the ultimate expression of bypassing the narrative and going directly to the people letting voters who wish to see people as they actually are. This is the ultimate expression of the 1st amendment.
The media will try to avoid these podcasts. I can hear them now:
This is an emergency. Media must be believed and obeyed! No one on the country believes in Trump/Vance Podcasts! There is no such thing as Trump/Vance Podcasts! Trump/Vance Podcast do not exist! THERE ARE NO PODCASTS!
If you want to know why the left demands censorship these two podcasts are it.
I have been arguing for an awful lot of years that the National Popular Vote Compact is an attempt to disenfranchises votes of individual states so that elections can be fixed on a national level.
The left has pooh poohed this and deep blue states like California, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, New York, Illinois, Vermont, Connecticut and yes disgracefully my state of Massachusetts went along and signed this idiocy sure and secure in the knowledge that no Republican would every be popular enough and no Democrat so unpalatable enough that it would bite them in the ass.
And then came this from CNN
There's a real shot Trump may get his great white whale: winning the popular vote. Polls show the race nationally is basically even as Trump runs far ahead of where he polled in 2016 or 2020.
He'd be the 1st Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years & only 2nd in 36 years. pic.twitter.com/Pp4LJPwUZe
Now the catch is that supposedly this agreement kicks into gear when 270 EV’s worth of states sign it, but as the electoral college doesn’t vote on election day (They vote on December 17th) Red states could have legislatures ready to adopt this rule after election day so it will be in effect the day the electors vote. In fact it would be state law. And the best part is once those votes are cast those same red states can repeal said laws boom.
If this actually happens it won’t matter how long it takes Mariposa country in Arizona to count their votes, suddenly by their own rules California, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Connecticut, Vermont and yes my own Massachusetts will go into the Trump column.
Now I still maintain that this disenfranchises individual states but I have a feeling if the Kamala collapse continues I will suddenly find a lot of leftists from an awful lot of blue states and a ton of media will suddenly have my back and rush to the Supreme Court to have all of these laws stuck down. The irony of course is that I expect all three liberal judges will be with me on this one at the very least.
Now with Kamala collapsing so badly that the Washington Post and LA Times won’t endorse her it might be moot so I don’t know if this will be the result but if it is, it will be glorious!
