There is much speculation that president-elect Trump may announce more appointments today, perhaps even the one garnering the most speculation, Secretary of State. A number of names have been bandied about. Names like Dana Rohrbacher, Rudy Giuliani, John Bolton, and the one his base most despises and mistrusts, Willard Mitt Romney. Is he ignoring the voices he’s obviously heard, disapproving most stridently of Mitt, while others think this is nothing more than a head fake to keep people guessing? The bottom line is he’s in charge and will appoint the one he thinks will best represent him to the world. The one certain thing is that whomever he picks the decision will be his and his alone. Unlike past presidents, he doesn’t need everything poll-tested before he decides on a position.
Here’s a List of Who Trump Will Be Meeting With Today
Cabinet positions are still open for State, Interior, Commerce, Labor, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, EPA, Agriculture, Treasury, trade representative, administrator of the Small Business Administration, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Office of Management and Budget director.

BREAKING NEWS: TWO IRANIAN GUNBOATS BUZZED AN AMERICAN WARSHIP, ONE EVEN POINTING A MACHINE GUN AT U.S. HELICOPTERS.
THEY BETTER HAVE FUN NOW, WHILE PRESIDENT PUSSYPANTS IS STILL THERE. WHEN MATTIS IN IN CHARGE, THEY BETTER KNOW HOW TO SWIM BECAUSE THEIR SHIT’S GONNA GET BLOWN UP.
Congressman Warns DHS Against ‘Burrowing’ Obama Appointees
THIS IS STANDARD DEMOCRAT TACTICS. WHEN A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION TAKES CHARGE, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE INSIDE TO DISRUPT OPERATIONS AND FEED INTEL TO THE MEDIA WHORES
With 57 days until the President-elect takes the oath of office, concerns exist that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) non-career positions might be “converted” to career positions,” the letter reads. “Known as ‘burrowing,’ this practice can damage trust with a new Administration and undermine its new priorities. In April 2016, the Chair of my Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee requested quarterly updates from the Under Secretary for Management on such conversions.
McCaul’s suspicions are well-founded, considering he has historical proof. Since 2009, the agency has converted several non-career positions into career ones, including the Assistant Administrator at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Trump, Romney Talks Baffle All: ‘Nobody Has Any Idea’
Only two things are clear as President-elect Trump and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney meet for the second time on Tuesday: Romney isn’t responding to the increasingly vocal campaign against him, and the final decision is Trump’s.
The dust-up has, not for the first time, created the impression that Trump’s team is in turmoil. But the only two people we haven’t heard from are Romney and Trump.
Rush: It Would Be ‘Impossible’ For Mitt Romney To Apologize and Mean It
“He went out and savaged Trump” Rush says
He adds that, back during the primary, Romney believed that Trump ‘shouldn’t be within a thousand feet of the White House’
WHEN I WAS A VERY YOUNG BOY, MY GRANDFATHER TOLD ME IF YOU HOLD A SNAKE BY THE TAIL IT WILL TURN AROUND AND BITE YOU.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission set a timetable Monday for a recount of the presidential election but rejected a request to conduct it by hand made by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who quickly responded that she would sue.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission set a timetable Monday for a recount of the presidential election but rejected a request for a hand recount. The commission is made up of three Democrats and three Republicans. It adopted the recount plans unanimously.
Jill Stein’s cynical push for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan has two obvious goals: to raise more political cash, and to “troll” President-elect Donald Trump. She’s succeeding on both fronts — the interests of the nation be damned.
National Public Radio ombudsman/public editor Elizabeth Jensen has recommended that the taxpayer-funded radio news service bar future live interviews of conservatives who may have controversial views, following an interview Nov. 16 with Breitbart News’ Joel B. Pollak. Pollak, who serves as Breitbart’s Senior Editor-at-Large and In-house Counsel, defended its Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon from false and defamatory claims of antisemitism and “white nationalism.” He also turned the tables, pointing out that NPR has “racist programming,” including a story that called the 2016 election results “nostalgia for a whiter America.”
Pollak’s defense of Bannon carries added significance. An Orthodox Jew, Pollak wrote his Master’s thesis in Jewish Studies on “the troubled status of Jews in an increasingly anti-Israel, and antisemitic, post-apartheid South Africa.”

“Mr. Trump’s choice of Sen. Sessions for Attorney General is deeply troubling,” Brazile said in a statement. “His demonstrated disdain for the rights of ordinary Americans, his history of discrimination and pattern of racist behavior make him unfit to serve as the next Attorney General. I call on members of the United States Senate to reject his nomination.”

THE TRUTH RARELY FITS THEIR NARRATIVE
FROM DIANNY AT PATRIOT RETORT
WHY WOULD A WOMAN OF GRACE AND CLASS WEAR SOMETHING FROM A HACK THAT LOOKS LIKE HER WARDROBE COMES FROM A MEXICAN UPHOLSTERY SHOP?
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) was the first US senator to endorse Donald Trump for president last year.
IN CASE YOU’RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH POMPEO:
TRUMP MUST BE DOING A GOOD JOB… ALL THE DEMOCRATS ARE PISSED OFF
The group credited the California Democrat for squandering their majority — losing 63 seats to Republicans in 2010 — by promoting unpopular policies like Obamacare.
Ryan responded: “We’ve already shown what we believe with respect to funding Planned Parenthood. We put a bill on President Obama’s desk in reconciliation. Our position has not changed.”
PRETTY SURE INTERIOR SECRETARY PALIN CAN FIX THAT
Despite the U.S. shale oil boom, which has made it the third largest global crude oil producer, the country still relies heavily on Saudi crude imports. Saudi Arabia is the largest Middle Eastern oil supplier to the U.S. with an 11% market share and has also invested heavily in U.S. downstream assets (refineries) to help lock in that supply. Around 31% of all U.S. oil imports are from OPEC members, while Canadian oil imports have a 41% share.
THEY’LL STOP AT NOTHING TO INTIMIDATE ELECTORS
Vice President-elect Mike Pence told House Republicans in a closed-door meeting Thursday to be ready to move a lot of legislation next year, Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady said.
SHE PROBABLY ALREADY MISSES THE WORLD TOURS, THE GOURMET MEALS, AND THE 35 SERVANTS… POOR BABY
WHAT AN ASSHOLE
IMAGINE HOW THE PEOPLE WHO WERE GOING TO SEE THEIR JOBS SENT TO MEXICO FEEL LIKE
In a highly unusual move, President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday night left his Manhattan residence without notifying the reporters covering him or giving any indication of where he was going.
“According to the Washington Post, he has the power to do this since Congress has refused to vote, and apparently that can be considered a waiver of its rights to advise and consent,” she said.
A lot of the newer democrat reps think after 14 years as leader, it’s time to put this swaybacked nag out to pasture.
Like a baby sea otter on MDMA, basically: frolicking and swooping and frisking and diving in the lovely warm, salty water made up entirely of the tears of Hillary voters, greens, and the bien-pensant wankerati.
COMPARING MELANIA TRUMP TO MICHELLE OBAMA IS LIKE COMPARING A MASERATI TO A DUMP TRUCK
OF COURSE HER DRESSES COST MORE…. IT TAKES 40 YARDS OF MATERIAL FOR CHRISSAKE
WHY, HILLARY…YOU LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY JUST WALKED OVER YOUR GRAVE
“We have to get to the truth. It was was never about a political targeting of Hillary Clinton. She created one of the biggest security breaches in the history of the State Department. We still have tens-of-thousands of documents we still haven’t seen, there’s more than Hillary Clinton involved in this, you have dozens of people within the bowels of the organization,” Chaffetz said.
In reality, the president does not possess this authority, as unauthorized presence in the U.S. is a civil violation, not a criminal one. Presidential pardon power only applies to federal crimes, described as “offenses against the United States” in the Constitution. As such, “a pardon can’t make someone a citizen or lawful resident,” explains John Harrison, a law professor at the University of Virginia. “Deportation is not a criminal proceeding, it’s a civil process that removes from the country someone who is not entitled to be here.”
When I asked Pace, who retired from a job in dress manufacturing several years ago, if he thought Mr. Trump would ever win him over, he responded: “He said he’d protect Medicare. I can go along with that. He said he’d get rid of the Bloods and the Crips and the gangs—get them out of here. I like that. If he does those two things, he’s my man.”
TRUMP KNOWS ENERGY IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE ECONOMY. HOPEFULLY, HE ALLOWS PRODUCTION TO START
Democrats have repeatedly proven that bipartisanship to them means that Republicans roll over for whatever Democrats want. If not, Republicans are tarred as obstructionists, racists, or whatever other epithet du jour. That’s because progressives are cultists hungry for more power so they can impose their ideological vision by any means necessary. Like Goldfinger, they don’t want Republicans to talk, they want them to die.
“This is astonishing and should be of great concern, and intolerable, to policymakers. It is remarkable enough that the all-time record has been passed before Thanksgiving,” he added.
Before he leaves office, President Obama is decorating a starry list of entertainers, newsmakers and civilians with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“We have never had a president like Mr. Trump in terms of his vast financial entanglements and his widespread business interests around the globe,” Cummings wrote. “Moreover, we have not had a presidential candidate in modern times who has refused to disclose his tax returns to the American people.”
THE MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THIS….BUT PETE WILL
REGARDLESS OF HOW HE FEELS ABOUT THE CLINTONS, THE FBI IS STILL INVESTIGATING THE E-MAIL CONSPIRACY.
GIVEN HER WELL-DOCUMENTED TEMPER YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE HOW UNHINGED SHE BECAME
With Donald Trump’s presidency now only a matter of time instead of a hypothetical, border agents are bracing for a surge in illegal immigration at the southwest border as people race to get into the United States before the door shuts.
AFTER HE’S PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD HAVE THIS MISERABLE BASTARD ARRESTED FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. HE NEEDS TO ROT IN HELL.
Obama replaced the Churchill bust with a photo of himself walking on water.
Mr Farage said: “We talked about the prospect of the United Kingdom being at the front of the queue, all of which was met positively.”
Over the last eight years of the Obama administration, the EPA “used the legal rubrics of the Clean Air Act really to pursue a low-carbon energy policy and really not to further environmental protection,” she said.
IT WOULD BE SAFE TO ASSUME PUTIN REALIZES HE CAN’T PLAY TRUMP LIKE THE FOOL CURRENTLY RESIDING IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
“Here’s what’s going to happen. I’m going to put– I’m pro-life. The judges will be pro-life. They’ll very much—” Trump said.
AFTER BEING CAUGHT CO-ORDINATING WITH THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN AND PURPOSELY BURYING ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT HER, THEY PROMISE TO DO BETTER. DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH.
HE’S TRYING TO CAUSE AS MUCH PAIN AS HE POSSIBLY CAN BEFORE HE’S KICKED OUT
THEN ONE LAST WORLD TOUR ON OUR DIME
The president will travel to Athens on Monday, then to Berlin on Wednesday and finally Lima, Peru, on Friday. He’s expected to return to Washington, DC, on Sunday.
HER LEFTIST BUDDIES ARE NOT HAPPY
The Republican congressional leadership is seriously considering an unprecedented procedure to guarantee that its and President-elect Donald Trump’s highest priorities are quickly enacted soon after Congress convenes next year.
WE JUST HAVE TO TRUST HE HAS A PLAN.
HE’S GOT ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE PISSED AT HIM
I THINK ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS THAT HE’LL HIRE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO
IF I WERE TRUMP I WOULDN’T DO ANY TAPED INTERVIEWS, GIVEN THE MEDIA’S PENCHANT FOR “SELECTIVE EDITING”
Gwen Ifill, the longtime news anchor who had served as a co-host of PBS’s NewsHour and as moderator of “Washington Week,” has died after a battle with cancer, PBS has confirmed. She was 61.
Hmmm. You mean they’re all terrified they might now lose their jobs, and you suddenly realised you’d also lose your $40 million contract with Netflix and your gated mansion in Bel Air, and have to eat paella for the rest of your life.
In February of 2016, The New York Times reported that everyone in Clinton land thought they were going to slaughter Donald Trump. It was hubris. It was typical elitism from the liberal elite. And in the end, the Trump campaign smashed the face of the Clinton operation with a brick, doused it in gasoline, and set it on fire. It was an upset that no one, except for white working class America and die-hard Trump supporters, saw coming, which explains the epic temper tantrums emanating from the Left.
OBAMA AND CLINTON WOULDN’T TURN DOWN A PLUGGED NICKEL. IT’S NOT LIKE THEY EVER HAD A REAL JOB OR ANYTHING.
I’D BET MONEY THAT MELANIA WAS GRACIOUS AND FRIENDLY AND THE GHETTO TRASH WANTED TO CLAW HER EYES OUT
WHAT STRUCK ME WAS THAT ALL THESE DESIGNERS MADE CLOTHES FOR MOOCH IN SIZE XXXL;MELANIA COULD MAKE SACKCLOTH LOOK STUNNING
SHE’S EVERY BIT AS QUALIFIED AS HER MOTHER
Ebell is a well-known and polarizing figure in the energy and environment realm. His participation in the EPA transition signals that the Trump team is looking to drastically reshape the climate policies the agency has pursued under the Obama administration. Ebell’s role is likely to infuriate environmentalists and Democrats but buoy critics of Obama’s climate rules.
For years, the UAW has railed against NAFTA and other free trade agreements while Republicans have generally supported free trade deals. This year, Trump turned Republican politics upside down.
Throughout these many months, the Clinton team made it clear that they believed her historic candidacy had the potential to sway portions of the electorate, most especially women voters. They were counting in no small part on the support of sisterhood.
Officials in New York and Los Angeles on Thursday said they hoped President-elect Donald Trump would not follow through on a campaign promise to withhold federal funds from “sanctuary cities” that shield people who are in the country illegally.
WHAT STANDS OUT IS THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE A FAR DEEPER POOL OF TALENT TO PICK FROM BECAUSE MORE OF THEM HAVE REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE ACTUALLY WORKING JOBS BESIDES GETTING ELECTED AND RE-ELECTED.
A top campaign adviser to Hillary Clinton said the former Democratic nominee “really didn’t contemplate losing” the presidential election to her opponent Donald Trump. The unnamed adviser told People magazine on Wednesday that campaign staff were unsure of what Clinton would do next.
HOW MUCH HE CAN OR WILL ACCOMPLISH REMAINS TO BE SEEN
I POSTED THIS THIS MORNING. SOMEBODY MUST BE READING OUR LITTLE BLOG.
HIS MOM MUST BE SO PROUD [CtH: You assume she knows how to spell it! LOL]
When news broke that Scalia had died unexpectedly Feb. 13, McConnell stunned the White House by almost immediately releasing a statement declaring the Senate would block any Obama nominee to replace him on the bench.
I’LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT
IF HE ALLOWS THE DEMOCRATS TO FILIBUSTER TRUMP WILL NEVER GET A CONSTITUTIONALIST APPOINTED TO SCOTUS.
The Global Warming/Climate Change Hoax is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on this planet. It is a socialist scheme to redistribute wealth and control populations by restricting their access to abundant, affordable energy. Myron Ebell would be an excellent choice for EPA Administrator.
Tens of millions of voters cast ballots Tuesday for Hillary Clinton. Except for a relative handful of wealthy and connected people, nobody actually wanted to vote for her.
