Trump will name Elise Stefanik as ambassador to the United Nations. I thought he liked her? Why anyone would want that job is beyond me. Since she is from New York, does Hochul appoint an interim? Surely not. However, a republican replacement is likely not a slam dunk and a democrat taking that seat in the House would certainly be unacceptable.
Lee Zeldin to the EPA is a great pick. He has the smarts and the will to undo much of the harm that Michael Regan and his crew has wrought.
Marco Rubio at State? Again why would he want to leave the Senate given the tenuous job security in a Trump administration? Anyway didn’t Trump once call Rubio a “total lightweight”?
Tom Holman as border czar is perfect.
Pete Hegseth for Defense? What’s next? Greg Gutfield for Education?
Trump voters were sexist? Then explain how Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan voted for Trump but elected women democrats as senators? Will the sore losers on the left ever admit that they had a lousy candidate running a lousy campaign while defending a lousy administration’s lousy record?
Harris’ campaign blew through over $1 billion. Did that include what the PACs spent? Fast Forward bankrolled by Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg alone spent over $500 million. I think most of it in Georgia ads saying that Trump was a threat to women, democracy, Social Security and Mom’s apple pie.
I thought the democrats wanted to take the big money out of campaigns? I guess they meant just out of republcan campaigns.
Harris’ campaign gave Sharpton’s group $500,000 and then had an interview with him? That may be legal but the ethics stink.
Harris’ campaign gave Oprah Winfrey $1 million? I thought Oprah was a billionaire?
She also did a podcast where she wouldn’t go to the podcaster’s studio but instead had one built for $100,000. Huh?
All this reminds me of what Edward Bennett Williams then the owner of the Washington Redskins said of his coach George Allen. “I gave him an unlimited budget and he exceeded it.”
Did you know that Michael Bloomberg gave Johns Hopkins medical school $1 billion to be tuition free? Bloomberg says that this will allow economically disadvantaged and underrepresented students to go to medical school. In light of the Supreme Court’s decision on affirmative action, Hopkins will have to figure out a way to increase minority enrollment. It seems to me that Hopkins would get a flood of applications from top students and end up with fewer minorities. Also I guess that its graduates are not toiling in clinics in the inner city or on reservations. Most likely, Hopkins graduates are in the big cities serving high end clientele and making big bucks or doing high powered research. If Bloomberg really wanted to aid aspiring minority medical students, he should have made his gift to Howard, Meharry and/or Morehouse.
Look to Trump to again try to get the 2030 Census to count only citizens rather than heads. If that happens, then there will be a larger flow of congressional seats from democrat states to republican states. The democrats of course will resist the change because it threatens their power.
The democrats are blaming everyone and everything for the Trump landslide. Everything but themselves and their policies. I have often said that the democrats don’t want a democracy but want to impose their policies instead. They know that all of their policies would lose at the ballot box. The majority of Americans do not favor democrats on climate, gender, immigration and equity. But the democrats don’t get it since they know what’s better for others than others know for themselves.
Several democrat politicians now say that the party needs to move toward the center after being taken over by Sanders, Warren and the Squad. I’ll believe it when I see it. BTW where were those “moderate” democrats prior to the election?
Some said that Harris made a mistake not going on Joe Rogan’s show. I disagree. If she had sat down for a three hour interview like Trump and Vance, her landslide defeat would have been small compared to the tsunami that would have occurred when voters saw that she can’t answer the simplest of questions unless being given the questions first and even then she flubbed her answers.
Lastly, much has been written about how Trump’s voters included record number of Latinos and blacks. What was little reported was that he also got 70% of the Native American vote which reflects how the Biden administration has totally screwed Native Americans. Biden has taken away their lands, has made grazing rights, hunting, mineral and oil and gas exploration off limits and has even denied the building of some businesses on Indian reservations. All of which have limited Native American incomes.
Also I guess the Indians knew that Kamala Harris was speaking with a forked tongue.
