More Donald Trump cabinet nominations have been announced, producing typical hysteria among Democrats and their lapdog pals in the LameStream media.
You might have heard that Trump wants Pete Hegseth for his Secretary of Defense, and the usual suspects went crazy that Trump had put up a Fox News host to hold this vital role.
Typical of the ridiculous hyperbole, and omission of pertinent information, was that spewed by stereotypical whiner panelist of The View, Whoopi Goldberg.
Remember Whoopi for her recent absurd assertion that she understands problems of the working class and she works only because she needs the money. This from a Hollywood type estimated to have a net worth of $36 million.
I guess Whoopi spends like the Kamala Chameleon campaign, which turned $1 billion in contributions into a $20 million deficit by the time the election was held. Or could Whoopi be exaggerating her need to work?
Regarding Hegseth, the seldom-amusing Whoopi tried to make hay of Hegseth being on a “weekend” show, insinuating he was not even good enough to be a first-teamer for Fox.
What Whoopi and her fellow leftist sycophants don’t bother to tell you is that Hegseth is a decorated combat veteran, having been awarded not one, but two Bronze Stars.
Unlike Tampon Tim Walz, Hegseth did face enemy fire. The Bronze Star requires having been involved with “military operations against an armed enemy.”
Also omitted from the Hegseth story is that he’s a graduate of Princeton and Harvard. He’s been a veterans’ advocate for many years.
I would much rather have Hegseth in this Secretary of Defense role than some of the political animals who have held the post recently.
Even as the Hegseth nomination was drawing fire in a metaphorical sense, Trump further poked the hornets’ nest by proposing Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general.
Allow me to repeat what you already likely have heard, that being Gaetz was investigated for sex trafficking a minor girl.
This would be by the Federal Department of Justice, the same fine folks who have persecuted Trump even before he was elected the first time. And, to no one’s surprise, after two years spent investigating Gaetz ZERO charges were filed.
Gaetz still has an ethics investigation open in the House, which could be a moot point since he has resigned his office.
Regardless, the Gaetz allegations will be trotted out to impugn his legitimacy to head the department that once conducted one of those familiar political witch hunts against him.
Curiously, Democrats are not similarly offended by sex scandals in their party, from Bill Clinton and Monica,, to the more recent U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell being removed from the intelligence committee due to reports of a dalliance with an alleged Chinese spy in his campaign.
Proposing Gaetz as attorney general is a prototypical in-your-face move by Trump. Whether Gaetz can be approved for the post is but one aspect of the matter. It is more important that his nomination is the first move of a political chess game.
First, some are speculating that Gaetz could be put into office by an appointment while the Senate is in recess. According to a Newsweek article, Barack Obama made 32 recess appointments, George W. Bush made 171 and Clinton, 132.
Second, some have suggested that if Gaetz is not confirmed for attorney general, Florida governor Ron DeSantis could appoint Gaetz to the Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio, who is likely to be our next Secretary of State.
It’s your move, leftists.
