Typical Trump

Donald Trump is doing what he always does: Pushing it to the limit with his nominees to test the loyalty of his party. Unfortunately, most of his party is more concerned with power and a big paycheck than they are with what is right and good for America. I just pray that we don’t have a huge crisis to deal with when these departments are gutted and the people he put in charge have no idea how to be in charge. We voted for chaos and we’re going to get it.

Globalization

Barack Obama’s globalization is almost complete. The most popular baby boy name in England and Wales for 2024 is Muhammad.

Kash Patel

I didn’t think anyone could match Donald Trump’s self-worship, but this Kash Patel character comes very close. Didn’t Trump campaign on Kamala Harris being the most radical candidate? Patel is radical with a capital “R.” Could Trump not find any reasonable, qualified people to work on his revenge tour of America?

Not yet

Donald Trump is trying to take credit for the cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon that President Biden has been actively working on. Trump’s mouthpieces say he influenced the agreement. He needs to wait until he’s sworn in and does something to brag about.

Can’t wait

After four years of whatever it is that President Biden has put forth, it will be a breath of fresh air to have someone focused solely on America in charge.

Priorities

President Biden pardoned his son. Donald Trump pardoned Mike Flynn, Paul Manifort, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon and his son-in-law’s father. So what. It was all legal. Can we focus on what counts? What happens if Kash Patel does close the FBI? Can we focus on what matters and will actually affect all of us?

Paying up

Donald Trump is appointing lawyers from his defense team and former lobbyists. Doesn’t look like he’s draining the swamp. And it’s a clever way to pay his defense team debts.
