An interesting conversation with Jeff Clark on PDJT’s power to gain the use of recess appointments if the Senate is reluctant to expedite the placement of individuals into the jobs that Trump wants them in. One has to put up with Bannon interrupting from time to time when Clark is about to make a salient point.
Better late than never. In 2019, three Connecticut girls who participate on high school track teams filed a federal discrimination complaint against a statewide policy on transgender athletes, saying it has cost them top finishes in competitions and possibly college scholarships.
The conservative Christian law firm Alliance Defending Freedom filed the complaint on behalf of Selina Soule and two other minor girls Monday with the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights.
The flow of nominees has continued this week. Two of the more interesting ones have been Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Judging by the reactions of the loonies in Washington, PDJT has made two excellent picks.
There is a new sheriff in town and his name is Tom Homan. Homan will be appointed “Border Czar” when PDJT takes office in January. No confirmation from the Senate will be needed for Homan to start his job.
Again, many being announced need confirmation from the Senate. PDJT was asked to stay out of the leadership fight in the Senate which he did. He has requested the use of recess appointments which the individuals vying for leadership tacitly indicated they were in favor of. This should help to get people in their jobs sooner rather than later.
This does not mean that the Senate will abdicate its responsibilities to advise and consent. It just means that PDJT can put someone in the job that will later be confirmed by the Senate in its constitutional role. It should not take two years to get people working for The People.
The incoming Trump administration was wasting no time about who should be working in it. Potential appointments have been rolling out at a steady pace. This has the feeling of an organization that has been in place for some time to staff the government when the election was won.
Announcements are being made, for the most part, via X and Truth Social. Big Media is not getting a chance to sabotage an appointment with some inane loaded question while the announcement is being made. Will they do this? Of course, they will. Only it will come later and is less likely to be in the form of a live question.
Joshua Dyer, aged 14, was tasked with writing a poem as a school assignment. An hour later he had produced this.
No other country in the world comes close to having the innovation that originates inside America. IMO this stems from the DNA of the people in America. The people who came here and built this country took big risks to do so. Those that made the cut so to speak were those who found ways to overcome obstacles in their path.
On Wednesday afternoon VP Harris gave a concession speech. Her speech writers did a very good job. Harris’ delivery was good probably as good as any speech she has read off a teleprompter. It is certainly better than any speech that I have heard her give. And it was all fake.
Rachel Maddow, the MSNBC anchor who has successfully dragged the media giant ratings into the sewer, lived up to her nickname of Mad Cow on Monday. Maddow said that Kamala Harris must cancel every single government contract Elon Musk has if Harris prevails in the presidential election.
