CIA: Trump has selected John Ratcliffe to direct the Central Intelligence Agency. Ratcliffe was once an anti-terrorism and national security chief for Eastern Texas. As a member of Congress, he served on the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judiciary Committee. During Trump’s first term, he served as director of national intelligence.
Trump says, “I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve in both of our nation’s highest Intelligence positions. He will be a fearless fighter for the Constitutional Rights of all Americans, while ensuring the Highest Levels of National Security, and PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”
DOD: Trump has nominated Army combat veteran and longtime Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense saying, “Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice – Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down.”
CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1856572061906346411 [:18] to hear from military brain trust, Joy Reid, about Hegseth’s appointment. She’s just bitter because, during election week, Hegseth’s show, FOX & Friends Weekend, had a million more viewers than her MSNBC show, The Reidout (1.7 million vs 715,000).
Hegseth actually has an impressive resumé, which Joyless would know if she ever did any actual journalism. As an Army National Guard captain, he served in Iraq and Afghanistan and earned two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge. A Princeton and Harvard graduate, Hegseth spent eight years as a Fox News host and is taking a large pay cut to serve as defense secretary. He wrote the bestseller “The War on Warriors,” a critique of left-wing policies undermining the military. And maybe best of all, he is an outsider to the defense industry.
CLICK https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1856497145588679059 [1:33] to hear what Hegseth had to say about fixing the military long before Trump won the election. Also, Hegseth is a virile manly man with a beautiful wife and seven kids. No wonder they hate him.

DOGE: Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. Like Trump, these are self-made men … not lawyers or politicians or lawyer-politicians who, like many of the people so-called “serving” in Congress, have never had to create or sell a product or service or meet a payroll. Many, like Kamala Harris have never worked in the public sector at all. You know, that place where your failure to achieve goals is not rewarded with insider trading deals and re-election.
Trump says, “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement.” He expects their entrepreneurial approach to government would send shock waves through Washington.
CLICK https://x.com/Rothmus/status/1856538637766152406 [1:02] to hear Rand Paul describe just a handful of idiotic ways our government has wasted our money. I can not WAIT to see what the DOGE DREAM TEAM does! They are promising it will be fully transparent, with everything they do posted online. Get your popcorn ready, folks!
CLICK https://x.com/alx/status/1856547918263570784 [8:28] to hear MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell pooh-pooh both DOGE and the appointments of Musk and Ramaswamy. He actually said that Susie Wiles will keep the two “as far away from Trump as possible.” Riiiight. Wiles is super devoted to her boss who is super devoted to cutting waste in government. Trump has also expressed his admiration for these appointees many times. I’m guessing Musk, at least, already has Trump’s personal cell number on speed dial. So, dream on, O’Donnell.
IMO, it’s just more sour grapes from the losers at MSNBC. O’Donnell’s show, The Last Word, went from a high of 1.8 million viewers throughout October to 808,000 viewers after the election. The Last Word airs at 10 pm, the same time as Fox’s Gutfeld! (3.8 million viewers).
