1) DemoKKKrats have successfully forced Matt Gaetz to withdraw from AG consideration. Gaetz cited his nomination becoming a "distraction" to the Trump team. Trump nominated former FL AG Pam Biondi as AG. Not thrilled about this pick. She has been ok at some low level stuff, but there is no indication she will be the Vlad the Impaler that this administration is going to need. And even worse, the Hoax News Media keeps insisting Trump is looking at an absolute Deep State, Mike Rogers, the failed MI senate candidate, for FBI. If he is the pick, Trump's war on the Swamp would come to a screeching halt. Meanwhile, Marty Makary, a China Virus protocols critic, is in line for FDA commissioner.
2) President Trump's new press secretary Karoline Leavitt opens every staff session with prayer. How nice to have God invited back into government. Dan Bongino is being considered for head of the Secret Service.
3) By the way, my court guru Zen Master notes that it is entirely constitutional for V.P. J.D. Vance to break ties in Senate confirmations. The Constitution declares so unequivocally (i.e., no stated limitations) and it was used by both Biden and Trump already to confirm candidates.
4) The Wall Street Journal labeled Trump's election a "hostile takeover" of the Deep State.
5) Although this is spun as a MAGA victory, in reality the Rs in the senate gave the DemoKKKrats 13 lower level judicial picks now for four higher level picks next year. They could have held out for all of them. Zen Master counters that many of the spots are in blue states and the "blue slip" process where by a sitting senator can kill an appointment in his state would have meant Trump wouldn't get many of his picks. However, two of those we supposedly "got" for next year at the appellate level were based on judges retiring. Now they may reconsider if it is Trump doing the selections. To put in football draft analogy: we traded 13 backups who we could not trade for 3 starters, two of whom may decided they don't want to help us and stay on the field hurting us.
6) Colorado must pay a web designer $1.5 million for stifling free speech regarding Lorie Smith's refusal to make homosexual wedding invitations. Too bad the governor and members of the state legislature don't have to pay this instead of the taxpayers.
7) The onrushing fracture in the DemoKKKrat Party (yes, another one) is the tecchie vs green split. The techhies need power and lots of it---far more than solar/wind/batteries
