No, no TFG knows nothing about project 2025 x.com/RpsAgainstTrump/status/1858318715692970365Donald Trump on Sunday announced that he has nominated a Project 2025 author to be the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Trump, who earlier in the day sought an investigation into a political pollster, said in a statement that he has chosen Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the FCC, to be its head. Commissioner Carr is a warrior for Free Speech, and has fought against the regulatory Lawfare that has stifled Americans' Freedoms, and held back our economy," Trump said. "He will end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America's Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America." Trump's statement does not mention Carr's connection to Project 2025, the governance plan from which the former and incoming president has tried to distance himself since polls showed it was highly unpopular. "Carr also wrote the FCC section of Project 2025, the agenda that the conservative Heritage Foundation sketched out for a second Trump term," according to NPR. "Trump disavowed it during the campaign but its themes have dovetailed with his public pronouncements since the election. (A call by House Democrats for Carr to be investigated for engaging in partisan activity over the report did not result in formal action. Carr said he had secured approval from FCC ethics officials to do so in his personal capacity.)"Republicans against Trump responded to the news, simply saying, "Shocking." www.rawstory.com/trump-project-2025-fcc-chairman/ |

House Ethics committee member comments.... House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) does not get to dictate what the House Ethics Committee does, said the bipartisan committee's Republican chair on Monday, per Politico.The committee has to decide whether to release a potentially explosive report into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who faces an investigation into alleged child sex trafficking, illicit drug use, and acceptance of improper gifts, among other transgressions. *** Regardless, Ethics Committee chair Michael Guest (R-FL) has not tipped his own hand about whether he'll actually vote to release the report — but told Politico that the pressure from Johnson will not be a factor. www.rawstory.com/michael-guest-matt-gaetz/ |

President-elect Donald Trump’s economic advisers and congressional Republicans have begun preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.
Among the options under discussion by GOP lawmakers and aides are new work requirements and spending caps for the programs, according to seven people familiar with the talks, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Those conversations have included some economic officials on Trump’s transition team, the people said.

And when you think it can't get worse... former MTV Real World cast member is now the nominee for Transportation Secretary. Sean Duffy, Real World Boston.
This one is annoyingly close to home. His brother is married to my 2nd cousin. Ugh.

Last week, while appearing on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast, the president-elect's son asked incoming "border czar" Tom Homan what border and immigration-related action the public can expect to see on Day 1 of the new Trump administration.
"Shock and awe," Homan responded. "Shock and awe," he repeated with a smile.

Pretty sure this incoming administration considers that a feature, not a bug. In seriousness, part of what his supporters celebrate is his ability to harm people and get away with it. |

President-elect Donald Trump chose Howard Lutnick, head of brokerage and investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald and a cryptocurrency enthusiast, as his nominee for commerce secretary, a position in which he’d have a key role in carrying out Trump’s plans to raise and enforce tariffs.
Trump made the announcement Tuesday on his social media platform, Truth Social. In the post, Trump said Lutnick “will lead our Tariff and Trade agenda, with additional direct responsibility for the Office of the United States Trade Representative.”

Oh goody. Trump is putting Dr. Oz in charge of dismantling Medicare/Medicaid. He is going to "incentivize disease prevention," which sounds nice, but probably means taking away people's healthcare to "incentivize" them not to need it. bsky.app/profile/noturtlesoup17.bsky.social/post/3lbddbjr5p22vI hope Oprah is sufficiently sorry for unleashing him and Dr. Phil on this country. |

Lutnick is NOT a nice person.. I have to look for what I read earlier. Thinking he is the one who cut healthcare for spouses of 9/11 victims, left them uninsured.. |

Oh my... The toilet man is back... Whitaker, toilets for the endowed males.. Again TFG will be laughed at, not us!!! President-elect Donald Trump's decision to select a former Rose Bowl tight end embroiled in a masculine toilet scandal to represent the nation abroad was received with the all the decorum such an announcement could expect. "UPDATE: Trump picks Matthew Whitaker for NATO ambassador," the news outlet Tennessee Holler told readers Wednesday. "You may remember him as the acting attorney general who was on the board of a company that boasted toilets for 'well-endowed men.'" Whitaker was indeed acting attorney general during Trump's first administration and, as multiple reports show, subjected to intense media scrutiny for pedaling toilets purportedly designed to keep large penises from touching human waste, as a "MASCULINE TOILET" press release explained in 2014. But as Vanity Fair, the Washington Post, Miami New Times, the Wall Street Journal and GQ reported in 2018, the former federal prosecutor ran a Florida-based invention company that the news outlets, customers and investigators described as "a scam." "Whitaker was also a cartoonish, grifting dope who shilled for a company that hawked time-travel cryptocurrencies, Bigfoot dolls, and toilets specially designed for men with big d----," GQ reported at the time. "[It] was shut down for good and paid a $26 million fine to the Federal Trade Commission earlier this year for its alleged wrongdoing." The Post added, "The FTC alleged in a 2017 complaint that the company bilked customers with fraudulent promises that it would help them market their invention. The FBI has also investigated World Patent Marketing." It appears political spectators have not forgotten these reports, as responses to Trump's latest appointment pick show. ."Everything old and disastrous is new and disastrous again," replied writer Polly Sigh. "Trump’s former inept acting-AG and 'masculine toilet' salesmen, Matthew Whitaker, will be Trump’s NATO Ambassador." "The guy who ran a major toilet scam is now Trump’s nominated US Ambassador to NATO," wrote American public health scientist Eric Feigl-Ding. "That is all." "Trump's choice for Ambassador to NATO was out here running toilet scams and intimidating people who complained," wrote Brandon Weathersby, of the anti-Trump political group American Bridge. "Another [poo emoji] pick." "This isn’t a nomination—it’s a sabotage mission," Democratic activist Chris D. Jackson replied. "This move is a direct attack on the foundation of our global partnerships." "He has no foreign policy experience of any kind that I can find in his bio, announcement or wiki," added NBC News reporter Garrett Haake, "but appears to be the only NATO ambassador who would have played in a Rose Bowl." However Brooke Rollins, of the influential conservative political group America First Policy Institute, said she was thrilled. "FOR THE WIN! Strength. Smarts. Dedication. MAGA. All the qualities in our own [Whitaker] that will make him an outstanding United States Ambassador to NATO," Rollins wrote. "Congratulations, my friend!!! You are the right man to represent America in a continent at war and under threat." www.rawstory.com/matthew-whitaker-toilet/Random comments: **. The pedo. The brain worm guy. The sexual harasser. And now the toilet guy. This is what you voted for, 'Murica! Only the best people. Enjoy the cheap ega while you can. 🙄 **. This guy selling toilets for well endowed men is like a minnow selling fin polish for blue whales. **. Birds of the feather flock together is it me am I losing it or it seems all of Trump's picks have something in common with the great DON of the mafia USA ,all have the law as their enemy ,tell me I'm wrong! |

and now the stories are that they're rethinking Hegseth as a choice, because he was 'less than forthcoming' about his past sexual abuse allegations. seriously?!? IT's okay for President, but not for a Cabinet position? DJT is a convicted felon, serial sexual abuser, accused rapist, lecher pu$sy-grabber, and voters STILL elected him President TWICE...  what's a little sexual abuse among scum, amIrite? |
