I apologize to everyone for sidetracking this very important thread.
While President Trump touted the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine and other treatments, in order to prevent 10 years of lockdowns, inevitable economic collapse, and complete totalitarian control camouflaged by a worldwide medical emergency, he pushed an emergency measure which meant they could not force people to take the vaccine nor could they imprison people if they did not, as in Australia, etc. The implementation of the 'New World Order' was stopped.
Again, apologies for sidetracking the discussion. I understand this is a personally traumatic topic for some and leads to much acrimony in discussion.
Does this mean we should trust the nominated Surgeon General? Not necessarily. We should wait and see. President Trump uses people as he sees fit. I'll wait.

Oz is a flat out Putz. Bondi is not 2A friendly at ALL. Gorka lasted a year for the first term.

Don't remember any dirt, but the guy was absolutely torture on the MSN media. Worse than Trump.
So if he was torture on the MSM media can you trust anything they say about him?
On Thursday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Dr. Sebastian Gorka discussed his background and life story.
Gorka said his expertise started when he joined the British Army Reserves, and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, worked for the government of his parents’ home nation of Hungary because he wanted to help Hungary rejoin the West after his family had escaped Communism before teaching counterterrorism for the U.S. government after September 11 and then teaching at National Defense University and Marine Corps University before he joined the Trump team.

A police report from 2017 released this week via a freedom of information request casts doubt on a sexual assault allegation made against President-Elect Donald Trump’s defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.
The accuser — whose identity is redacted — claimed Hegseth raped her in 2017 during a Republican women’s conference at a hotel in Monterey, California. According to the accuser, it happened after conference organizers went to the hotel bar after an after-party following that day’s events.
However, the police report raised questions about the accuser’s claim, with several eyewitness accounts and surveillance video suggesting she and Hegseth had a consensual sexual encounter she was attempting to hide from her husband — who was staying with her at the same hotel along with their children.
Despite the accuser saying she believed “something may have been slipped into her drink, as she cannot remember most of the night’s events,” surveillance video obtained by police showed she appeared coherent before and after the alleged incident, and she had “locked arms” with Hegseth while smiling. An eyewitness also told police she saw the accuser flirting with Hegseth.
In addition, a hotel worker saw the accuser putting her hand and arm on Hegseth’s back and leading him towards the direction of his hotel room shortly before the alleged rape occurred, and said that Hegseth was “very intoxicated” but that she was not.
The police report also said that a person who appears to be the accuser’s husband told police that after she returned to her hotel room, she said she “must have fallen asleep” somewhere. That tracked with what Hegseth independently told police the accuser said she was going to tell her husband.
Revelations in the police report that cast doubt over the accuser’s rape allegation included:
“All of this sounds much more consistent with a woman who had a booty call,” she said.
Breitbart News spoke to Hegseth’s lawyer, Tim Parlatore, last week, who said that the accuser was the aggressor, not his client.
“She took advantage of him. She led him. She was, by all accounts, both video and eyewitness, she was sober. He was drunk. She grabbed him. She took him to his room. She’s like walking arm-in-arm with him. And really putting it on, and she gets him into his room. And then the police honestly, when they looked at it, even though she was the one that reported it, when they looked at the video, they considered charging her,” he told Breitbart News in a phone interview on November 16.

- There was no evidence of rape, according to the police report.
- Earlier in the day of the alleged rape, she texted her husband numerous times about Hegseth, including that the women at the conference were “freaking drooling over him,” and that, “He talks pretty tho.” As the night progressed, she stopped responding to her worried husband’s text messages.
- A person whose name is redacted but appears to be her husband told police that after she returned to their hotel room, she did not have a hard time walking and was not slurring her words. The accuser told the person believed to be her husband she “must have fallen asleep,” and was apologetic.
- The accuser later told police that she remembered asking Hegseth if he had a condom.
- The accuser declined to conduct a “pretext” phone call with Hegseth — where she would call him to discuss the alleged rape with the police listening in.
- A hotel worker told police he received complaints at approximately 1:30 a.m. from two separate guests that a couple near the pool was causing a disturbance and being loud. The worker went to the pool, and said the accuser apologized for Hegseth’s actions and put her hand and arm on Hegseth’s back and walked him away from the pool area towards buildings 4 and 5 — where Hegseth’s room was located.
- The hotel worker said Hegseth was “very intoxicated” but the accuser was “standing on her own and was very coherent.”
- Hotel surveillance video showed the accuser and Hegseth leaving the hotel bar together at approximately 1:15 a.m., with locked arms and heading towards the pool.
- An eyewitness said she saw the accuser flirting with Hegseth, and the flirting “consisted of touching of the body or arm.”
- The same eyewitness said she saw the accuser the next morning and that she “did not seem any different and was her normal self.”
- While Hegseth said he was “buzzed” but not intoxicated, he told police he was led out the bar but could not remember by whom, but described the person’s clothing, which matched the accuser’s dress.
- Hegseth also said he did not remember being chastised for being too loud by the pool. He said he went back to his hotel room with the accuser, but was confused as to why she stayed in his room.
- He said “things progressed” between himself and the accuser and that the interaction was consensual. He said they would both stop and say, “we shouldn’t do this,” but things consensually continued. He also confirmed that she asked if he had a condom.
- Hegseth told police that the accuser showed “early signs of regret,” and told him she would tell her husband she had fallen asleep on a couch in someone else’s room — which tracks with what the person believed to be her husband told police that she had initially told him.
“All of this sounds much more consistent with a woman who had a booty call,” she said.

Seems to me that regardless of administration, Treasury has ALWAYS been a Wall Street global elite type. Wasn't Mnuchin, in Trump 1.0, that way as well?
Ya, it takes a Wall Street global elite type to understand it? I dunno..All I got lol
Still vastly better than a Kamala presidency if Trump picks a few duds. He can fire them, I think Trump 1.0 he fired most of them within 6 months?
They all know Trump will shitcan them without hesitation, unlike Biden who didn’t fire a single one

I was thinking about the general disappointment many here are feeling about the nominations of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for Surgeon General and Dr. Oz for head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Surgeon General is a position well known to the public, but it has always seemed a sort of figurehead position; they are spokesmen not policy decision makers. And while Medicare and Medicaid are important to many, looking at the webpage for CMS, one can see how ripe it is for the attention of the Musk/Ramaswamy axmen. Once their plans are implemented by Russell Vought over at OMB, Dr. Oz's effect can be greatly curtailed and directed to the kind of hospital administrator position the head of CMS ought to be.
Two nominations I haven't seen much commentary on are the nominations of former representative Dr. Dave Weldon for head of the CDC and Dr. Marty Makary for head of the FDA. These are, to my mind, more serious positions of authority than the other two and the candidates less flashy and more reliably likely to work towards the President's stated goals.
But what is most important is that ALL of these positions will serve under the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, RFK, Jr. They are not autonomous agencies, loose cannons without oversight, and I think RFK, Jr. is bulldog enough to shake the rats to death (figuratively speaking) if they step out of line. Maybe the nominations of Nesheiwat and Oz are bones thrown to 'the powers that be' to grease the wheels for what President Trump really wants - RFK, Jr., Weldon, and Makary.

Another Congress Member Insider Trading for Matt Gaetz to investigate
Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin’s Net Worth QUADRUPLED Between 2018-2022 From $12m -> $63m
He bought shares of a water meter company just 2 weeks before Tulsa, Oklahoma announced replacing all water meters costing $94 million
How did he know?! That’s not all, other congress members made the trade and the water meter replacements are being done nationwide
“How is it possible that even though the congressional salary is a $174,000 a year, all these lawmakers are worth millions of dollars? That's because they often make much more than that in the stock market.
I'll give you a perfect example, Senator Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma. His net worth almost quadrupled between 2018 and 2022. January 4th, early this year, he bought shares of a company called Badger Meter Incorporated, ticker BMI.
Now, Badger Meter, as their name suggests, makes water meters. The things that calculate how much water you use. So stick with me. Remember earlier when I said senator Mullen is from Oklahoma? The reason that's important is because just 2 weeks after Mullin bought shares with the water meter company, I came across an announcement by the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma saying that it has begun the installation of 145,000 automated water meters across the city at a cost of $94,000,000.
The exact same product which was made by Badger Meter, the company he bought stock in just 2 weeks earlier. And it's not just Tulsa doing this, this is going on across the country.
That's because of the new federal mandate by the EPA for every US city to upgrade their inventory of lead service lines by October 24, 2024 later this year. It's reasonable to assume that when Tulsa and all these other US cities upgrade millions of water meters to meet these new guidelines, a company like Badger Meter would stand to benefit, and in turn, those shares that he bought.
I wish I could say that this was an isolated incident, but I see stuff like this happen all the time.”
Every GOP Senator that has been against Trump and his agenda and his nominees has something to hide I'm sure.

The hosts of ABC’s The View were forced to issue four “legal notes” in one episode regarding comments they made about several of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks.
Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar were forced to issue legal notes after comments made during an episode on Friday about allegations surrounding former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who was Trump’s pick for attorney general before he withdrew his name from consideration; Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who Trump picked to serve as his secretary of defense; and Pam Bondi, who Trump selected to serve as attorney general.
The View co-hosts also issued a legal note over comments made about former New York Republican Rep. George Santos, according to the New York Post.
The legal notes made during the episode came after comments made by co-hosts Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, former Trump administration official Alyssa Farah Griffin, Hostin, and Behar.
After Behar made a comment about Santos’s “23 criminal charges” for “wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements to the House of Representatives,” Behar was faced with making a legal note.
“I just got a note,” Behar said. “We have to clarify that Santos eventually reached a plea deal after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.”
Later on in the episode, the women of The View made comments regarding the sexual assault allegations surrounding Gaetz and Hegseth.
“I have a legal note,” Hostin announced during the episode. “Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime.”
“Also, another legal note,” Hostin continued. “Pete Hegseth’s lawyer said he paid the woman in 2023, to head off the threat of a baseless lawsuit. He has denied any wrongdoing.”
Minutes later Hostin revealed that she had “another legal note,”
“I’m sorry everyone, I have another legal note,” Hostin announced. “Both Trump and Pam Bondi have denied allegations of a quid pro quo that his past donation played any role in her office’s decision to not take legal action against Trump University when she was the attorney general of Florida.”
“This show is just going to be legal notes and things we’re selling,” Navarro responded.
The legal notes issued by The View co-hosts came days after Hostin had been forced to read a legal note regarding comments she made about Gaetz and allegations against him.
“Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims ‘invented,’ and saying in a statement to ABC News that this false smear, following a three-year criminal investigation, should be viewed with great skepticism. The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought,” Hostin said.
In another episode, Hostin was forced to issue a legal note regarding comments made about Gaetz and Hegseth.
“I have a legal note,” Hostin said. “Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime. Gaetz previously dismissed allegations that he paid for sex, saying ‘Someone is trying to recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends as something more untoward.”
“Another legal note,” Hostin added. “Pete Hegseth’s lawyer said he paid the woman in 2023 to head off the threat of a baseless lawsuit. He has denied any wrongdoing.”

Poor Peter is very upset.
Another sign that Trump is making excellent Cabinet picks is that he does not like them!
He seems to have extra dislike for Tulsi, joining the others in trying to do the "Russia, Russia, Russia" smear on her like they did with Trump. . The sounds of the DS screaming once she gets confirmed will be so fun.

Here's an interesting comment about Tusi Gabard from Peter Zeihan.
I realize that Trump supporters will NOT like the first 3/4's part, but that's not why I am posting this.
Apparently, she has some serious security problems and might even be a Russian plant. She has been associated with the WEF.

The segment I am concerned about starts around the 9:59 minutes time mark. Just skip over everything else.

He also said Biden would win hands down.
This is an absolutely-must-watch interview of Russell Vought (most likely nominee for Director of (OMB) Office of Management and Budget) by Tucker Carlson. Remember this name and pray for him.
x.com
It's a long investment of time; r/t is about 1-1/2 hours, but it's the most informative interview I've watched recently, even eclipsing the one JD Vance did with Joe Rogan. It's also posted on Telegram and perhaps YouTube, but I haven't checked the latter. After watching this, I can feel a glimmer of hope for the courageous warriors who are stepping into the gap and joining the battle with everything they've got.
I had a small inkling but really didn't realize the power that the OMB carried in itself to battle the unelected bureaucrats and the powerful forces in the intelligence community.

The position of FBI Director runs 10 years, and Wray still has a couple of years left under that arrangement. He CAN be fired, however, and a new director nominated.
ETA: President Trump can't fire Wray right now, but after the inauguration, he's free to do so.

Thanks
Wray knows if he doesn't step down, Trump will fire him. I think everyone knows Wray is finished. I'm primarily interested in who Trump has in mind to replace him. Guess I'll have to wait.
Kash Patel is the MAGA favorite but Matt Gaetz would be an awesome pick as well.
Fact is, I'd love to see Gaetz brought in as Deputy Attorney General for Pam Bondi. They know each other; he would be the perfect hatchetman for her to be able to take the high road, plus having Kash clean up the FBI with Gaetz backing his play.
No telling what El Presidente has on his mind but it's interesting, we know!

It’s Official: Trump Now Has Hottest Cabinet Of All Time

It’s Official: Trump Now Has Hottest Cabinet Of All Time
2–3 minutes
PALM BEACH, FL — Less than one month after the presidential election and still eight weeks away from his inauguration, experts have already confirmed that President-Elect Donald Trump now has the hottest cabinet of all time.
Trump has quickly assembled his roster of officials as he prepared to commence his second term as president, drawing strong reactions from analysts who hailed his team as by far the sexiest cabinet in American history.
"I just can't stop ogling his picks, especially that Border Czar," said one political expert. "We've always known that Trump had an affinity for surrounding himself with beautiful people, but this new cabinet takes the cake. Not even the astounding mustaches and mutton chops found in the Martin Van Buren administration can hold a candle to this. Caroline Leavitt, Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, Tom Homan. That's an all-star team of hotness if I've ever seen one."
Though critics raised concerns about Trump appointing candidates based on their looks, his transition team defended the selections. "Would you rather stare at ugly people during all the cabinet meetings?" one source asked. "President-Elect Trump has found that people work better in an environment filled with good-looking people. That's why he's got people like Kristi Noem on the team. And don't forget Linda McMahon."
According to high-ranking leaders of the Republican Party, former South Carolina Governor Nikkie Haly was still waiting for her phone to ring.
At publishing time, a Trump team insider also disclosed that discussions were taking place to create a "Trump Cabinet 2025" pinup calendar in time for Inauguration Day.
I am wondering if he is picking strategic people in the positions that matter. And all else is fluff for the masses. A lot of Women, People of different nationalities. (Oz) Etc, because they all accuse him of hating women and being a racist. Now they cannot confirm a lot of these people uses their lame excuses. His picks so far have not been Misogynist nor racist.
He needs people to keep things running while he has to fight the Senate for people he really needs. These lesser positions being filled with faces people know. I mean what does the Surgeon General actually do? But the Head of NIH, HHS, And CDC do A LOT.
I would pay attention to the important positions the rest are just CEO positions more or less. And they answer to the Department heads of each agency.

BREAKING: Trump nominees targeted with 'violent' threats
Rt 9:43

Dot Collector
Democrats targeting Trumps Cabinet nominees, death, bomb and swatting threats to their lives and the safety of their families as revenge for losing the election.
JUST IN: Peter Doocy reports on “violent, un-American threats” being made on Trump’s cabinet nominees:
“This is a potential national security problem." Doocy reports that Elise Stefanik, Pete Hegseth and John Ratcliffe were among those targeted.
"These attacks ranged from bomb threats to swatting."
“Right now they are private citizens living in their homes, preparing for confirmation hearings.
So they don't have security details per se, to deal with something like a swatting incident where the the police show up because of an erroneous with guns drawn, potentially because of an erroneous tip that there is some kind of violent action happening."
Deranged leftists who can’t accept the outcome of election and resort to violent threats must be brought to justice.
Tom Homan is not mentioned in this reporting — but he has also previously stated that he’s received death threats and his family was moved out of his home.
