Trump builds his cabinet and other election observations

It is fun to watch the left go hyperbolic over Trump’s big presidential win. They bought into the echo chamber of lies fed to them by the mainstream media. I am not sure if they are mad at the leftist media for misleading them or at Trump. Either way, it is fun to watch. 

Ratings at PMS-NBC, CNN et al. are down over 30%. MS-NBC is said to be for sale, and CNN is making cuts. They are serious; CNN just fired me, and I don’t work there. 

Fox is crushing its competition, garnering 69% of all cable news viewers. All the top 100 cable news telecasts of last week aired on Fox. 

PMS-NBC Morning Joe hosts Mika and Joe went to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump (whom they spent years calling “Hitler”). They got heat from the remaining legacy media for kowtowing to a fascist to save their spiraling show. But Joe and Mika reminded them, “Say what you will about Hitler, he killed Hitler.” 

Trump has not even taken office yet and the left are misrepresenting his presidency. His cabinet picks are driving them nuts. I thought he should leak it out there that he will put the My Pillow guy in charge of OSHA. 

He campaigned on shaking up the federal bureaucracies and cutting waste. You can only do that by appointing outsiders with the courage of their convictions. Grab your popcorn — this could be good.

The only pick so far that might be a high risk/return one is my old Congressman Matt Gaetz to be attorney general. He annoyed the Dems and some Republicans for his bombastic ways. 

That, as we know, drew the attention of the Deep State DOJ and led to a dubious “investigation.” Joel Greenberg, a Florida tax collector, was caught sex trafficking and tax cheating. He cut a deal with the feds to say things about Gaetz in order to get a lesser sentence. You can imagine how badly the DOJ wanted something on the “Firebrand” Gaetz. 

Matt Gaetz is a bit awkward. He might not have had his first high school girlfriend until he was 35. During the pandemic, Gaetz tested positive for Colleen 19. 

Accusations against Gaetz were leaked to, and played out in the press, which is the hallmark of a Democrat Deep State smear campaign. But now, if there is anyone who has seen the “lawfare” ensconced in our Deep State now, and is incentivized to weed it out, it would be someone like Gaetz.

Rosie O’Donnell and other way-left libs have voiced their anger at the nation by saying they will withhold sex until things get better for them. I have seen the unappealing women with nose rings who are saying they are on a sex strike; I really feel they need to go on a hunger strike first. Then a sex strike might have an impact.

Kristi Noem (Homeland Security pick) and Tom Homan (Border Czar) have had an immediate impact on our border. The pipeline of illegals crossing the border has slowed in anticipation of the US implementing sane policies. We love Hispanic immigrants in the South — but they’d best come here legally in the future — or through the Atlanta Braves farm system. 

Even some celebs are following through with their promises to leave the USA. Eva Longoria says she is going back to Mexico. She should hurry. It will take a bit to patch the holes in the border walls, but for now there are plenty of spaces through which she can slip back into Mexico. Giddy up Eva!

Keeping us distracted with “bread and circuses” as they do their thing, politicians seemed to love the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight. It was good to see Mike Tyson clip over $20 million for the fight. He needed the money. If he had not made this money, he was going to have to hurry up and invent a grill. 

In other fiscal news, it turns out that Kamala Harris blew through more than $1 billion in three months (almost three times what Trump spent for his entire campaign). Ever the carbon neutral advocate, Kamala spent $2.6 million on private jet travel in October alone. Kamala is $20 million in debt. 

Since there is no difference between women and men in the Democrat world view, it has been suggested Kamala schedule a fight with Jake Paul to raise the $20 million she owes. I’d pay to see it.
