But first, as I expected, I and one other person who contacted our senator about the FEMA trailers sitting idle while people are in tents in western North Carolina and it’s now snowing, and we got back via email a form letter that basically said thanks for your concern and the devastation was unprecedented and he was doing everything possible to help and would leave no stone unturned to fix it. It didn’t say anything about what I told him about. It was a meaningless form letter. It’s like his staff looked at my email and said send him the hurricane letter. He really doesn’t care.
Now something happened today that showed me that Trump really learned from his personnel mistakes from his first term. Mike Rogers was being touted in some circles as the best person for FBI Director. I thought that was terrible because I had seen several articles pointing out that it would be a terrible mistake because he had said several things about Trump that should be disqualifying. Among them he was a J6er. One said he would be like Wray on steroids and gum up the works. Trump announced today that he never even entertained the idea of Rogers. Hooray.
I also saw that Bongino is being considered for head of the Secret Service. That would be an incredible pick up there with Bondi.
His pick for Treasury, Bessent, is an outstanding choice and he is also openly gay which should shut up the nonsense of him wanting to round up all the gays. But it did make me wonder why Rick Grenell hasn’t been nominated for a position since he did an outstanding job last time and is in fact the first openly gay cabinet member ever. Way before Buttigieg! But then I saw he is being considered for a position in Ukraine and that would be great.
Then I saw Sharpton complaining that Trump hadn’t nominated any blacks. Apparently that was before Trump nominated Scott Turner for Secretary of HUD, because he is definitely black and a former NFL Quarterback for the Redskins among other teams and served in his first administration in that department.
Suffice it to say I’m very excited about his picks and hope they can get confirmed quickly.
