I don’t know much about him, but what I’ve seen so far leads to mixed emotions. As the CEO of the largest corporation in the world, Exxon Mobil, he’s dealt with all the oil-producing countries and has a relationship with Russian strongman Vlad Putin. His confirmation is sure to be a pier 6 brawl, although Trump will get what he wants in the end.
Rex Tillerson, Exxon C.E.O., Chosen as Secretary of State
A statement from Mr. Trump’s transition office early Tuesday brought to an end his public and chaotic deliberations over the nation’s top diplomat — a process that at times veered from rewarding Rudolph W. Giuliani, one of his most loyal supporters, to musing about whether Mitt Romney, one of his most vicious critics, might be forgiven.
Instead, Mr. Trump has decided to risk what looks to be a bruising confirmation fight in the Senate.
Exxon’s Rex Tillerson: 5 Things to Know About Trump’s Likely Secretary of State
Here are five thing about the 64-year-old man who is likely to be America’s top diplomat.
1. Tillerson has close ties with Vladimir Putin.
2. Tillerson spoke against sanctions on Russia.
Speaking about sanctions imposed over Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Tillerson said he generally opposes sanctions as imprecise and ineffective, and added he had discussed his view with U.S. officials, according to The Associated Press.
3. Tillerson supported global emissions-cutting agreement forged in 2015 Paris climate summit.
Tiller acknowledged the threat of climate change and the company he heads endorsed a carbon tax and stated its support for the Paris climate agreement.
4. Tillerson supported the Boy Scouts admitting gay youths.
After the Boy Scouts of America voted to allow openly gay youths to join their troops and earn their merit badges, Eagle Scout Tillerson said at the organization’s national meeting in 2014: “So we’ve made the decision we’re going to change. Now what? No winners or losers. After we make the decision to change, it’s the mission,” according to The Dallas Morning News.
5. TIllerson has contributed to several Republican campaigns.
According to the Federal Election Commission records, Tillerson has given $442,284 as direct contributions since 2003, $72,200 as “joint fundraising contributions” and $5000 to a Super PAC. While he has contributed to George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell and Jeb Bush, he is not known to have given any money to Trump’s campaign.

Obama to Trump: Executive Action Is Good for Me, Bad for Thee
“I have not changed Washington the way I wanted to change it,” Obama said in an interview last week with VICE. “And what I worry about in our politics is people getting impatient with the slowness of democracy, and the less effective Congress works, the more likely people are to start giving up on the core values and basic institutions that have helped us to weather a lot of storms.”
Trump packs trade team with veterans of steel wars with China
President-elect Donald Trump is stacking his trade transition team with veterans of the U.S. steel industry’s battles with China, signaling a potentially more aggressive approach to U.S. complaints of unfair Chinese subsidies for its exports and barriers to imports.
Led by Wilbur Ross, a billionaire steel investor and Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary, Dan DiMicco, the former CEO of steelmaker Nucor Corp, and three veteran steel trade lawyers, the team is expected to help shift the U.S. trade focus more heavily toward enforcement actions aimed at bringing down a chronic U.S. trade deficit, Washington trade experts said.
Inauguration blues: Why pop stars won’t play for Trump

Judge says electors must vote for statewide winner
U.S. District Judge Wiley Daniel denied a request by two Colorado electors who contended that the law binding their vote to Colorado vote winner Hillary Clinton violated their First Amendment rights and the intents of the Constitution’s framers. The electors had sought the right to vote for someone other than Clinton in order to unite behind a consensus Republican other than Trump when the Electoral College convenes on Dec. 19.

Obama on Comedy Central: America ‘by No Means’ Has Overcome ‘Legacies of Slavery, Jim Crow, Colonialism, Racism’
‘We have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism’
“You know, my general theory is that, if I was clear in my own mind about who I was, comfortable in my own skin, and had clarity about the way in which race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives,” Obama said. “But that it is not the only factor in so many aspects of our lives, that we have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism, but that the progress we’ve made has been real and extraordinary, if I’m communicating my genuine belief that those who are not subject to racism can sometimes have blind spots or lack of appreciation of what it feels to be on the receiving end of that, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not open to learning and caring about equality and justice and that I can win them over because there is goodness in the majority of people.”

This is Funny? Liberal Hacks on SNL Joke that Trump Voters are Nazis
This is the latest liberal humor.
Hillary Clinton lost so Trump supporters are Nazis.
Yuk-Yuk.
In a skit last weekend SNL compared the “Alt-Right”, a mysterious group that popped up in the liberal media this year to describe all Trump supporters, to Nazis.
The actress on the show who is pretending to be Angela Merkel jokes, “In America you have the alt-right. In Germany we call it, “Why grandpa lives in Argentina now.”
Because all Trump voters are racists and Nazis.
And they actually believe this.
Democrats think they will get all of the new Trump voters to abandon Trump by comparing them to Nazis.
Slate’s Michelle Goldberg: Trump Victory Tour ‘Menacing and Threatening’ to Non-Trump Supporters
Friday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Slate columnist Michelle Goldberg weighed in on President-elect Donald Trump’s victory tour thanking his voters, saying the rallies are “menacing and threatening” the majority of the people who did not vote for him in the 2016 election
“The whole posture is one of both rallying the people who voted for him, and also kind of menacing and threatening the majority who didn’t — with these sort of menacing asides. ‘They’re on our side, they just don’t know it yet.’ ‘You’re going to like what we have in store.’ I don’t think I am reading too much into this,” Goldberg told host Chris Hayes.

UK Diplomat: I’ve Met the DNC Wikileaks Leaker and the Person Is an Insider – Not Russian
Comments Off on Wikileaks: Leak source was Democrat insider, not foreign hackers
Filed under Democrats, Julian Assange, Media Bias
Apparently, it’s true that both the DNC and the RNC got hacked. But two other things are also true:
One — “Intelligence officials told ABC News that the fact that only Democrats’ information was released isn’t enough to prove the motivations of the Russian actors.”– ABC News
Maybe the reason that only Democrats got leaked is that only Democrats were doing dirty tricks like sending debate questions to their candidate.
Two — There is zero evidence that the Russians or anyone else hacked actual votes. Obama’s Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, confirmed this forcefully more than a week ago.

“Donna Brazile has a big problem with Russia’s alleged interference in our recent election. Which in itself is not all that remarkable, as the allegations are unsettling, to say the least.” – Twitchy
“But for Brazile to suggest that she has any moral standing on something like this is … well, it’s pretty ridiculous.” – Twitchy
In October 2016, leaked emails proved that Democratic National Committee boss and now-former CNN contributor Donna Brazile had sent debate questions to the Clinton campaign in advance of the debate, so that Hillary Clinton could be better prepared than Donald Trump was.
The controversy cost Brazile her position with CNN, but she is apparently still the chair of the DNC. She assumed the post in July 24, 2016, when the DNC announced Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to vacate it following revelations by WikiLeaks of multiple alleged indiscretions by Wasserman Schultz concerning candidate Bernie Sanders.
Soooooo … screwing with the election on behalf of Bernie got Debbie canned as DNC chair, but screwing with the election on behalf of Hillary had no effect on Brazile’s butt sitting in said chair. Interesting.

Michigan: A judge canceled the recount, ruling that Jill Stein had no standing to request one. Recount efforts in Detroit proved futile anyway, since the ballots on the books didn’t match the voting machine printouts in 59 percent of the heavily Democrat precincts.
Wisconsin: With 95 percent of Wisconsin’s vote recounted by Sunday, Dec. 11, 2016, Hillary Clinton had picked up a whopping 25 votes on Trump, who won the state by more than 22,000 votes.
Pennsylvania: A federal judge halted Stein’s efforts for a recount, citing a lack of credible evidence that any ‘hack’ occurred and the fact that Stein had no standing to demand a recount.
The “Electors can vote for Hillary!” Harassment Follies:
Targeting the 538 Trump electors with phone calls, emails, death threats, and online “Dump Trump” petitions has so far netted only one faithless elector.

Or whatever.
In the left’s latest flight of fantasy, they’ve turned their attention from the failed recount gambit to blaming the Russians for hacking the DNC to help Trump win. Anything to de-legitimize his presidency. This time it’s their turn to piss and moan (my mom’s nicknames for me and my sister, BTW) about every move The Donald makes, from his brand of deodorant to how much it costs NYC for security. John Kennedy (no,not THAT one) won the runoff for David Vitter’s seat in Louisiana, so the GOP picks up the final Senate seat. Which is a good thing, since McStain and Grahamnesty are already conspiring with the ‘rats to cause as much trouble as possible for the new commander-in-chief.
Delegitimizing Trump
What’s really behind the recounts and petitions
The left doesn’t begin with policy critiques of Republican presidential candidates. Instead it accuses them of being temperamentally unfit for the office and illegitimately elected. The anti-Trump playbook is just the anti-Bush playbook with a little dust on the cover and a few more page creases. Bush was a cowboy who stole the election. Trump is erratic and stole the election. The rest is just elaboration.

HOW WONDERFUL IT WILL BE TO HAVE PEOPLE OF INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER LEADING OUR COUNTRY ONCE AGAIN.
Four days earlier, Kelly’s 29-year-old son, Marine 1st Lt. Robert Michael Kelly, stepped on a land mine while leading a patrol in southern Afghanistan. He was killed instantly.
John Kelly, President-elect Donald Trump’s reported pick for Homeland Security chief, never spoke of his fallen son by name during the speech to the Semper Fi Society that he had committed to give long before his son’s death. According to the Post, the elder Kelly made one request to the officer who introduced him: “Please don’t mention my son.”
Kelly, 66, is the highest-ranking military officer to lose a child in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan — a burden of war that thousands of so-called Gold Star military families like his must bear.

There was a discussion on Redeye Radio this morning on the subject of the democrat prospects of gaining any ground in two years is bleak. Sorry I can’t find the piece they were reading from, but here’s the gist:
The Democrat Party is bound to the climate alarmists and green energy scammers. Of the eight Rust Belt states, they lost all but one, and Trump came within one point of winning deep-blue Minnesota.
The working people in those states have watched as more and more environmental regulations have pushed once-thriving industries out and more and more of their hard-earned tax money has gone to subsidize wind and solar companies that cannot sustain themselves without government handouts.
Apparently the leftists are more worried about offending the Greens than they are of being a viable party.
Meanwhile, Trump has hit the ground running, naming people who know business to right the ship of state as more and more businesses are poised to return jobs to the U.S. anticipating a cut in corporate taxes and the easing of crushing regulations.
They also told us that globalization is an irreversible trend, that it’s therefore impossible to rescue manufacturing jobs, that the economy and the world are in a certain order and that only the foolish or naive would seek to overturn it.
Then Mr. Trump arrived on the scene.
For a new hire who doesn’t start work for another six weeks, he has been a whirling dervish of decision-making, deal-making and status quo-busting.
The man hasn’t even clocked in yet, and he’s already saving American jobs, reassuring allies, striking fear and anxiety in our enemies and standing for freedom and free enterprise.
Trump Asks for List of All Companies Planning on Leaving US – Will Call Each One Individually
Last week Donald Trump warned companies that were planning on leaving the United States.
CNN reported: “Companies are not going to leave the U.S. anymore without consequences,” Trump said Thursday at the Indiana plant where the company makes furnaces.
Trump said that those consequences would include paying higher tariffs on imports. Carrier announced in February that it would lay off workers and move those jobs to Mexico.
US Steel CEO hopes to bring back jobs they were forced to let go during ‘depressive’ era…THOUSANDS of them
The American steel industry may bring back thousands of jobs now that Donald Trump will be president.
Mario Longhi, the CEO of US Steel Corporation, said the domestic steel industry may be able to rehire up to 10,000 employees who were laid off during the recent economic downturn.
The steel industry has laid off more than 16,000 workers since January 2015, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Longhi blamed the firings on cheap foreign steel products being illegally dumped in the United States.
Trump Appreciates How Work And Self-Esteem Are Related
THIS IS A SIMPLE CONCEPT THE LEFT CONTINUES TO IGNORE
Donald Trump seems to have intuitively understood that a lot of working class Americans are demoralized. But whereas the solution from liberals was free money — and the message from conservatives was that everyone should be an entrepreneur — most Americans don’t want to collect welfare or start a small business, they just want jobs.
It’s a simple, yet profound, concept. As Arthur Brooks wrote back in 2010, “Earned success gives people a sense of meaning about their lives. And meaning also is a key to human flourishing.”
Even anti-Trump working-class voters are having second thoughts
Robert James stood outside the Carrier plant just before the president-elect addressed workers at the refrigeration and heating assembly factory. James would never dream of voting Republican: “For all of my life the Democrats have been the party of the working guy, had my back. But if I am being really honest, and this is tough to admit, but I can’t remember the last time they did anything to improve the dignity and value of my job” — a point that didn’t really crystallize for him until it became personal: until his job was saved. By a Republican.
How Union Bosses Sold Out Their Workers
The 2016 election exposed deep divisions in America, but none deeper than that between the leadership of organized labor and its membership. Union bosses spent some $100 million in member dues to try and elect Hillary Clinton and other Democrats across the country. It wasn’t money well-spent.
Don’t buy the lie that Obama’s leaving behind a healthy economy
After eight years of blaming America’s problems on George W. Bush, the press that got the election wrong is rolling out a new line — that President Obama is handing President-elect Donald Trump a booming economy.
That takes some brass.
The truth is that the Obama years have been among America’s worst for the economy. His eight years will go down in history as the Great Recession, even though for much, even most, of the span, we weren’t technically in a recession.
It just felt that way. And no wonder. Obama’s is the only modern presidency that failed to show a single year of growth above 3 percent, a point Trump stressed during the campaign (and that was conceded even by the website Politifact).
Plus, the Obama economy failed to prosper even though the Federal Reserve had its pedal to the metal. Its quantitative easing, $2 trillion balance-sheet expansion and zero-interest-rate policy all produced zilch.
