Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Donald Trump named three star general Dan "Raizin" Caine as the new chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff bypassing a number of four star generals in the process. Something not done since Dwight Eisenhower who knew a thing or two about the military... Didn't take long for Kash Patel to get to work... Speaker Mike Johnson has said that Congress will work to codify most of Donald Trump's Executive Orders so that the next administration cannot just undo them. Biden could have done this too when the Dems controlled the Congress but nobody wanted to be on the record of supporting his radical agenda... The hiring of General Caine comes on the heels of Pete Hesgeth firing Lisa Franchetti as the Chief of Naval Operations to be followed by the firing of 5,400 Pentagon employees. So it begins... Have to admit - I did not have a feud between JD Vance and Niall Ferguson on my BINGO card... Question that will keep you up nights: will the NCAA now expunge Lia Thomas' swimming records? Maybe an asterisk now?... Now the CIA is said to be planning the biggest firings since 1977. The "since" proves this isn't unprecedented... Rand Paul has officially requested an audit of Fort Knox... Well if Adam Schiff did email Jeffrey Epstein 256 times - it was no wonder he was so desperate to impeach Donald Trump and keep Kash Patel from becoming the head of the FBI. Now we get to see Schiff suddenly go silent as Epstein's client list is revealed... Three great questions... Now it sounds like Donald Trump to merge the US Postal Service as a subordinate service to the Commerce Department. This would have been a big deal in any other administration but just another day in Trump world...
