Trump Announces Director of National Intelligence Pick: Tulsi Gabbard
I'm not sure I love this pick on qualification or policy grounds, but is in keeping with Trump's Party of Unity campaign closing message. I will be open to it.
He also picked Maro Rubo for Secretary of State. Tulsi is too much of a peacenik absolutist to me, and Rubo seems like a true believing neocon who's only slightly moderated his views. But I don't think that's a bad thing. Trump may be trying to put together a Lincolnian "team of rivals," with people of very diverse views, to get a balance of opinion and advice. It's interesting, at least, if that's what he's doing. Update: but does maro rubo have the heart -- or the heartlessness -- to purge the State Department? Can he take the fire? Or does he want to be adored? I suspect the latter. Supposedly -- supposedly -- he's going to pick... Matt Gaetz for AG. Matt Gaetz. Are you kidding me? That's #based. He also will supposedly appoint Kash Patel -- who blew up the Russiagate hoax by revealing all of its lie -- to head the FBI, according to Steve Bannon. Wow, those last two are going to drive the left crazy. If those are real. Someone I trust believes that Kash Patel himself is putting out these "leaks" that Trump is picking him to head the CIA or FBI. Trying to get some "heat" going for him. But someone Trump definitely did name: Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense pick:I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my Cabinet as The Secretary of Defense. Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America's enemies are on notice - Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down. Pete is a graduate of Princeton University, and has a Graduate Degree from Harvard University. He is an Army Combat Veteran who did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan. For his actions on the battlefield, he was decorated with two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman's Badge. Pete has been a host at FOX News for eight years, where he used that platform to fight for our Military and Veterans. Pete's recent book, "The War on Warriors," spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list, including two weeks at NUMBER ONE. The book reveals the leftwing betrayal of our Warriors, and how we must return our Military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence. Pete has also led two Veterans Advocacy organizations, leading the fight for our Warriors, and our great Veterans. Nobody fights harder for the Troops, and Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our "Peace through Strength" policy.
Hegseth has declared that the military must be reformed, and "woke sh*t has got to go."
The left is attacking this choice claiming he's just a "morning show host." Um, no, he's a combat veteran who reached the high rank of Major and won two bronze stars. People are questioning if he has the management skills to run the DOD but... doesn't a major have thousands of soldiers under him? Update: EFG says no, a major doesn't necessarily have command experience over more than a platoon.
🚨NEW: Newly appointed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on reforming US military leadership:

Anyone "involved in the woke sh*t has got to go...you have to reestablish that trust by putting in no-nonsense warfighters in those positions who aren't going to cater to the socially… pic.twitter.com/9181gOVp2q
Pete Hegseth joined the Army to fight extremists. Then that same Army called him one. The military Pete joined twenty years ago was fiercely focused on lethality, competency, and color blindness. Today our brass are following the rest of our country off the cliff of cultural chaos and weakness. Americans with common sense are fighting this on many fronts, but if we can't save the meritocracy of our military, we're definitely going to lose everywhere else. The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction--a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dangers that the Left pretends don't exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn't have a zip code solution. We can't move away from it. We can't avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.
The left is melting down about this. Jim Acosta and Joy Reid are just beside themselves!
"In a sign he has been making his cabinet selections while watching TV, Trump picks Fox anchor Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense," Acosta tweeted. So just like Warren, he isn't being honest/informative about Hegseth's actual background. Some "journalist" -- he can't even be bothered to do five minutes of research on Hegseth's background. Fox's Janice Dean said somehow Acosta missed Hegseth's "three deployments including Iraq and Afghanistan with Two Bronze Stars in your smug little post." Fox contributor Ben Domenech noted Acosta's "experience" consisted of "his two Bronze stars for combat in the White House press room." Fox contributor Joe Concha laughed at him, speculating he might be out the door in the cuts coming to CNN, "You'll never guess who will be one of the first to be let go when CNN does its massive cuts next month..."

Don't forget, we only have a tiny majority in the House. We cannot take too many people out of it and put them into government. Unless they are from 100% safe seats. And even then, there might be 60 days to several months before a replacement is elected. (House members must be elected, and are never appointed.)

It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States. Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice. Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System. Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department. On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight of DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and exposing alarming and systemic Government Corruption and Weaponization. He is a Champion for the Constitution and the Rule of Law...

I really don't care how he leads the department. Before it can be led, it needs to be fumigated...and that's his job. Someone else can come later to rebuild it with some conservative hires after that's done.

Most politicians staff with their own age group, their peers. They don't have much contact with younger generations .
Trump has good contact with his kids, and they cover a large age range and are very influential in their own right.
Don and Eric seem to have weighed in, and those proposals suggested their own nominees.
He is not hiring his friends and BFFs

Like I said, I hope they both succeed. But Pete has never run or built anything. He doesn’t have half the experience that many on Trump’s cabinet has. I like that he’s an outsider and not some defense contractor gimp. But that’s a tough org to navigate and make wholesale changes without breaking shit that shouldn’t be broken. It’s a weeding process and those fuckers won’t help him. Gaetz is just Gaetz. It’s one thing to throw rocks. It’s another to tear shit down and rebuild it the right way.

Eh, no.
A Captain commands a company. Which has a couple of hundred. Give or take.
A Lieutenant Colonel commands a battalion. Which is about four or five times the size of a company. Give or take.
A Major is right between the two and doesn’t really tend to command anything. He could be the Battalion Commanders XO. His right hand man. The hammer. But not generally a commander.
And not to knock this guy…but retiring at 20 as a major generally is not knocking it out of the park, career wise. It is the lowest rank he could have retired at, as an officer.
Unless he did like ten years as an enlisted man before getting commissioned as an officer.
But generally speaking, a major does not have any more command experience than a term as a platoon leader and a company commander.

It’s upper middle management. BUT! I think bringing someone in who gets the industry, but not so much they are imbedded in exactly what needs to be rooted out is a good idea, assuming you recognize what you don’t know and are humble enough to seek guidance.

You don't get command over a thousand or more until you make at least Colonel.
Also if you're a major who's NOT in the infantry, i.e. intelligence, MPs, artillery, etc., you may see command over just a few hundred or less.
My nephew was a Captain in Field Artillery and he had very little interaction with enlisted personnel. Most everyone he worked with was an engineer and hence a commissioned officer.
But whatever, I still say Hegseth is qualified, more so maybe than if he were higher rank.

He's been burned, multiple times, by the people supposedly on his side. PDT isn't running for re-election, and, therefore, is free to be his own man.
Either what President Trump does works for enough Americans so Vance is heir apparent, or, it doesn't, which means it didn't matter, anyway, because the Deep State found a way to hamstring PDT again.

Are you committed to enacting Trump's agenda?
But, what I think is more important than the head at the top, are those who will appoint Trump loyalists below them.
Consider these named as heads have already assured Trump the next 10 positions at the agency are the folks Trump really needs; e.g. "I can't get this person through the Senate, but I can get you--and you'll appoint them to this job."
Which is also insurance against them going rouge--stay in line or I fire you and the second takes your job w/o Senate approval.

For those wondering, this district is ruby red. I am an independent, but I really need to register as a Republican to get a say in who is elected (primary is where the action is).

Why, we only need simple majority once they get past cloture. "Once the nomination is considered by the Senate, unlimited debate is allowed until a majority of the Senate votes to invoke cloture and close debate. Following a vote of cloture, the Senate conducts a simple majority vote on whether to confirm, reject, or take no action on the nomination." If we can't get 51 votes from 53 R senators, there will be trouble in River City.

Had Mitch McConnell gotten his way, Rubio never would’ve been a senator, let alone Secretary of State. Recall that McConnell endorsed Charlie Crist (who later left the party and became a Democrat) over Rubio in the 2010 GOP primary in Florida.

He's a smart, hard working, loyal guy and the kind of person you want in a big tent. His wife, Erika, is also an American conservative education activist from Florida. If it should matter, he's also of Jamaican and Panamanian heritage.
Wikipedia, only in part, Byron Lowell Donalds (born October 28, 197
[2] is an American politician and financial analyst who has served as the U.S. representative for Florida's 19th congressional district since 2021, as a member of the Republican Party. His district includes much of Southwest Florida.[3][4]
Born and raised in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Donalds attended Florida A&M University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in finance and marketing from Florida State University in 2002. Before entering politics, Donalds worked in the finance, insurance, and banking industries.[2] In the conservative wing of the Republican Party,[5][6][7] Donalds was a member of the Tea Party movement and unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012. He represented the 80th district in the Florida House of Representatives from 2016 to 2020.[8][9][10]

Was Paid 'Personal Fee' To Endorse Kamala Harris
Days after an exhausting election cycle, Oprah Winfrey is being accused of accepting money to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.
The Washington Examiner published an article last week investigating the Harris campaign’s spending. The conservative news outlet reported that Harris’ team paid upwards of $15 million for “event production,” including $1 million paid to Winfrey’s production company, Harpo Productions.
“Not true,” Winfrey replied on video. “I did not get paid a penny. Ever.”
“My production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and every other item necessary (including the benches and chairs we sat on) to put on a live production,” she wrote.
“I did not take any personal fee. However the people who worked on that production
needed to be paid. And were. End of story.”

I was hoping this was satire. Tulsi was selected by Putin and is a Putin mouthpiece! You cannot make this crap up. There is a reason why trump is demanding recess appointments. The hearing on Gabbard's confirmation would be fun.

DOJ illegally spied on Trump. DOJ ran multiple coups against Trump. DOJ tried to imprison Trump. DOJ tried to bankrupt Trump. And after Trump was nearly murdered, DOJ sent Chris Wray to Congress to claim Trump hadn’t even been shot.
That entire rotten agency is a clear and present danger to the entire country, and it either needs to be reformed or eliminated.

I doubt any politicians intentions are ever PURE, but my gut on Tulsi is that she will be a good pick. I've seen her on many podcasts, speaking for many hours at a time, and she has always come off as very sincere and likeable.
And I imagine Trump got the same impression.
She also got called a Russian asset by HRC and was relentlessly harassed by the TSA, so she's got some axes to grind. Also, lets not forget -- she got drummed out of leadership of the dem party by saying that the intel community is full of shit about Assad and chemical weapons in Syria (thus the "shes a Russian!!!" accusations) among other things.

Also, unlike the shaving and cutting hair weirdos, snotting through their nasal rings, I admit to not knowing squat and let the chips, buffalo or plastic, fall where they may. I trust Trump.

So, what is the Horde consensus?

The power of the presidency within party politics is patronage.
You give loyal people positions of power. They give their loyal people positions of power. It strengthens the party generally.
The GOPe is mostly pissed because their loyalists aren't getting the patronage that they convinced Trump to give the first time.

A major in the U.S. Army typically serves as a battalion executive officer (XO) or as the battalion operations officer (S3). Majors can also serve as Company Commanding Officers, a major can also serve as a primary staff officer for a regiment, brigade or task force in the areas concerning personnel, logistics, intelligence, and operations. A major will also be a staff officer / action officer on higher staffs and headquarters. In addition, majors command augmented companies in Combat Service and Service Support units. U.S. Army majors also command Special operations companies, such as U.S. Army Special Forces companies, Civil Affairs companies, Military Information Support Operations companies, and certain types of separate, numbered vice lettered, Military Intelligence companies.

The Hill, 11/10/24, 'Murphy on Democrats’ losses: ‘Our tent is too small’
In part, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) offered his thoughts on Democrats’ losses in this year’s elections in a Sunday thread on the social platform X.
“We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA,” Murphy said in the thread. “We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small.”
The Connecticut Senator noted multiple issues he thinks the American left is struggling with when it comes to reaching voters, including having “never fully grappled with the wreckage of fifty years of neoliberalism” and moving “past the way people are feeling (alone, impotent, overwhelmed) and straight to uninspiring solutions.”

From what I've heard (basically chatter on podcasts and thinks RFK has said), RFK will be an "advisor" and not given a cabinet level job.
Presumably due to the difficultly in getting him through the Senate.
But it's Trump -- who knows? I could see him putting RFK in charge of HHS. Definitely not Department of Energy (Trump "We love Bobby! Just don't talk to him about oil!")

Ehhhh... I think he probably has skeletons in his closet. He definitely strikes me as the type.
But who knows?
Also, the story with the 17 year old was very convoluted. Age of consent is Florida is 18, but the age of consent in Georgia is 16. If I remember the story correctly, he met some girl in Georgia (or another state, details are murky) and venmo'ed her for the hotel room.
Which the feds said meant he crossed state lines to have sex with a minor. Because she wasn't legal in FL, but was in GA. Or whatever.
I don't know. On the one hand -- I could see it. On the other hand -- it's the DOJ. I could also see them fabricating the whole thing.
On the other other hand, I think it came out that some con artist was using that venmo payment to a young lady to try to extort Gaetz.

I ...like Tulsi. She says things few Dems have said and is open to changing her mind about stuff.
For DoD you need a fighter. I think someone with two Bronze stars will command respect from the rank and file. That is important. I also like what he's saying, about the military having ONE mission - defend the United States of America. That's it. Anything that contributes to that goal = good. Everything that detracts from that goal has to go. Every minute a soldier spends in DEI training is a minute they didn't spend honing combat skills. Every dollar spent on that crap is a dollar not spent on bullets and training.
If we make our military the most lethal and competent fighting force on the planet, then we never have to fight any wars at all. People should take one look at the U.S. military and say...no thanks.

JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy are 39.
Elise Stefanik is 40.
Matt Gaetz is 42.
Tulsi Gabbard is 43.
Pete Hegseth and Lee Zeldin are 44.
One of the best parts of these appointments is how much Trump is empowering younger generations to lead this country.

I looked this up earlier. Trump is skipping over a whole generation for his administration - I take this to mean he is doing everything he can to ensure his coming revolution lasts long after he leaves office. Trump used the last four years with great purpose. What he has accomplished is unprecedented. And he hasn't even assumed office.

At first I had the same thoughts. She's a peacenik, using her experience as a managine nurse in a combat zone, a combat zone I admit, as a foundation of her national security cred. I still don't buy that. I also don't buy her managerial skills, though she could grow into it, she is a smart chick, but what changed my mind was thinking. . "What CAN she bring to the management of National Intelligence?" Well, little to nothing in terms of coordinating a complex op that will defeat our standing enemy made up of. . . . .everyone? Well, no one is qualified for that no matter how many times Jack Posobiec applied for the job.
No, I came around because She's in charge of ALL Intelligence agencies, and virtually impossible to not be confirmed, AND more than anything else, despite my lack of being impressed on her service, or her stature or her history or education, I change my mind and 100% Support her for 1 reason, in 2 notes.
Trump seems determined to "drain the swamp" and his appointments seem to be borderline rabid supporters of the ACTUAL constitution, who want to burn down the "career" bureaucracy who have trodden on every American based on a whim.

But most Important, and what I think made him pick her has nothing to do with intelligence gathering for us to have an upper hand against our enemies, but rather.. . . . .
She is the highest profile person to be on EVERY SINGLE list by the Intelligence agency's as a Threat to America. One of them, A mistake. . .same mistake for months, and still not recinded? 3! agencies, all together at the same time saying that she's a risk to FUCKING FLY!?
Tulsi might be a war squish, but I know women, and no woman takes a personal slight lightly.
I bet she will identify and punish every person who targeted her, and every other person unjustly.
So as a clean the swamp pick? I'm all for it.
