Trump’s cabinet nominations

Trump’s cabinet nominations

I am surprised that Trump has not yet announced an appointment of a black or blacks to his cabinet. I would have thought that either Tim Scott or Byron Donalds or both would be in the cabinet.

With the nominations of Tulsi Gabbard and Kristi Noem, Trump is guaranteed the best looking cabinet in history.

Gabbard is a Lt. Colonel in the Army Reserves. I guess this means she will have to resign her commission.

Mat Gaetz as attorney general? That is a real headscratcher. Gaetz is a self important, publicity seeking, possibly immoral political hack. I thought he was running to be Forida’s next governor? At least by being attorney general he can stop all the investigations into his own shady doings. One thing is certain, he will blow up the department. Yes, not shake up but blow up. Maybe this is Trump’s ultimate revenge against the Deep State minions in the department and their lawfare against him and his buds. 

There are 44 judicial vacancies. Since the democrats still control the Senate it would not be a shock if they don’t try to ram the nominations through before the new Senate is convened.

Trump wants to shut down the Department of Education and Betsy Devos has volunteered to help. Do it. The funds should be sent to the states as block grants anyway.

Shut down the Department of Energy while you are at it.

Also expect the handouts from the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” to be distributed as quickly as possible.

Come to think of it repeal the Inflation Reduction Act.

Also rescind the EPA’s tailpipe emissions rule that would make 70 percent of all new cars electric or hybrid by 2032.

Rescind the EPA’s power plant rule that would eliminate all power plants that can’t or won’t reduce by 95% their carbon emissions.

I know Trump doesn’t read my blog but he is thinking of moving the EPA out of DC. Do it – and the rest of the agencies as well. Again, Homeland Security moving to Eagle Pass, TX would be more effective that being in DC.

Also moving the bureaucracy out of DC would rescue the state of Virginia from the rule of the northern Virginia DC suburbs and reshape the state’s politics.

Do it please.

Now is the time to adopt the two democrat recommendations of ending the filibuster and packing the Supreme Court. Then after you get your legislation through and justices installed, reinstate the old rules. Come on Senate!
