Noses are better if we are going on the Pinochet theme. It's close to Pinocchio.
Just get me a fleet of Blackhawks and some pipe hitters to help load them and I will have your swamp clean as a whistle faster than you can say “flying lesson, Mr. Secretary??”
And your streets cleaner than if Ned Flanders were in charge!!!
And noses it is!!

Some food for thought on the Tulsi nomination below.....
President Trump Announces Nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to Director of National Intelligence
She's not the only one with no exprience running a huge department with no experience making budgets, etc, etc. These will either be homeruns or they're going to be absolute failure. I don't think there is any inbetween. Of course, if one cannot make a good decision based on getting fed th proper information; it doesn't matter if they have experience or not.
UH-60s aren't big enough.
Think efficiency........number of drops per air mile.
C-130s are what you want.
Se lo ordena su comandante.
One thing I will say is between Kash, Tulsi, and J. Ratcliffe, the deep state is going to be on the defense. What that means, who knows; but none of those three are cool with what's been going on with regards to Constitutional violations, weaponization against citizens, etc.
There's no better way to start draining the swamp than to have his closest allies who haven't been bought and paid for or corrupted by either side of the fence, fill the highest positions in the country. This isn't a house-cleaning, it's a fucking demolition.
Don't be surprised if Ron DeSantis resigns as governor and ends up being appointed to fill Rubio's seat.

I think his mandate is going to be to build back the human component.
We have a lot of technology and weapons but we lack the motivated human element.
He is going to try to win back parents like me that were military and believed all the ohhRah shit but now council their kids to not go anywhere near the military.
Rubio's innate hatred of communism is more than enough.
It's a fire that burns hot in a way few Americans can understand.
I haven’t forgot it was only a short time ago she was talking single payer health care, banning ARs and posing for glossy pictures with the WEF.
I expect something from Chieu Hoi VC before they can be trusted.
Let’s see her dismantle the federal highway camera pole citizen surveillance system on day one.
He seems a little too Neocon for me.
I’m sure there are plenty in little Havana that have the “hates communists” box checked.
Problem about certain communist haters they only see them outside our borders when the real threat is actually inside our borders.
Got to remember the bureaucracy that actually runs any agency has been functioning without a President for years now…..well an “elected” president anyway.
They are all looking at this as “it’s only four years. We will obstruct where we can than cast them off. Nothing will change”
All these people selected for certain tasks better do a Roman decimation first day in their buildings in order to send a message.
The Secretary of State is our foreign secretary/minister. As such internal affairs aren't his concern.
The Secretaries of Justice and Homeland Security have what you want.
Radcliffe was DNI during the election steal in 2020.
With all his signals intel at hand he couldn’t catch any of the shenanigans?
Was he complicit?
I get that but Rubio would be too “adventuresome outside our borders and probably get giddy at being fawned over by other heads of state.
I bet he advocates for continued involvement in Ukraine and the ME.
I want the state department only doing ceremonial shit until we straighten out our internal problems.
I too am skeptical of her. She CLAIMS she saw the light on 2A....but did she really? I highly doubt it; but, maybe I'm wrong.
That's not the vibe I get. Guess we will soon see....
That sir is a great point. And now making me question MY source on him. Of course, I’ve suspected my source a former USN officer is full of it 40% of the time.
I really don't get the Tulsi appointment for DNI. If we all want a DC outsider than I'd rather see someone like an ex-cop/detective with a shit load of street smarts running that show.
Apparently, Alina Habba has declined the role of Press Secy, per a report on Newsmax.
She put out a tweet on her x profile. She will consider other roles, but not this particular one.
In that event, let's go with Kari Lake for Press Secy.
Update: Apparently not, for Kari Lake, if this YouTube video she put out has any legs.....
I can't tell if she's saying, "I'm outta here," or, "I'm waiting for Trump to offer me something." Maybe it's time for her to write her books and/or go on the speaker circuit." We'll see.

Not surprised my homey …Cotton Top Tom didn’t want included in any of Trumps choices ….yet !
His mom and pops have been grooming him to be the President since the first grade. He’s now the number 3 Republican in the Senate , figure he’ll ride it out until ?? It would be hard to find much dirt on him now , except smoozing with the elites.

He does seem to vote with the wind at times. I had high hopes for him; but man some of his votes are in line with the other side. He has a B average on the liberty scale; but yikes, the rest of those in AR are awful. I had high hopes for Westerman too; but he's failed in a number of areas as well.
He should stay where he is. He's as neocon/interventionist as it gets.
Boozman and Westerman are both worthless as tits on a boar hog. French Hill & Womack same-same
Tom thinks his shit don’t stink , he got that from his parents.
If he didn’t have to have an Arkansas residence , nobody would ever see him.
And in another bid to further the "rumor mill," Newsmax is reporting on an interesting one... Kash Patel to replace Christopher Wray at the FBI!
Hmmmmmmmm......
Hmmmmmmmm......
Considering what a back stabbing piece of shit that Wray became , anyone would probably be better.
Never thought of Kash in that role but ???Going back to Rubio, I heard some commentary yesterday that his appointment accomplishes a couple things: removes a RINO and puts him into a position where he could be held to simply a ceremonial position or fired, thus removing him from any real power. That's a chess move, not sure its the thought process behind it, but it is an interesting scenario.

Just saw on Newsmax... RFKJr as Sec. of Health & Human Services......
The number of woke DEI POS 'generals' and down to O-6's... that need to be expunged... is in the hundreds if not the thousands.
Good... they are getting scared.
Resign now for honorable retirement. But if you want to play games... dishonorable with complete strippnig of pension and benefits should be what these POS DEI types get for a reward.
Obama's Hand Picked team needs to be expunged with extreme prejudice.

Kash Patel Reportedly in Consideration for FBI Director | The Gateway Pundit | by Jordan Conradson
Kash Patel, one of the leading figures in discrediting the Democrats’ Russia Collusion Hoax and defending Trump, is reportedly being considered for the role of FBI Director in the next Trump Administration. It was previously reported that according to GOP sources, Kash Patel was rumored to be...
www.thegatewaypundit.com
An Infantry Officer with multiple combat deployments who shoots straight is far better than any SECDEF we’ve had in a long, long time. Most of them have been lawyers, senior advisors, and more political types with little ground-truth experience.I like Pete Hegseth as a person. As far as I know he hasn’t been corrupted …..yet.
Didn’t see this coming , hopefully he does an awesome job .
Considering the last handful of Secretaries the bar has been pretty low !
From 1947-1997, we had these guys...
James Vincent Forrestal: After the highly-classified Majestic-12 committee hearings, they committed SECDEF Forrestal to a mental hospital against his will, denied his family access to him, then he “jumped out the window”. (In consequence of this, they named an Aircraft Carrier after him, CV-59, the same one that John McCain was on during the famous 1967 fire incident caused by an F-4B's Zuni rocket misfire.)
Louis Johnson (fired by Truman due to lack of confidence and replaced with Gen Marshall)
George C. Marshall: Famous among gun guys for his post-WWII AAR analyses that were controversial about what % of soldiers actually returned fire or engaged the enemy, soldier’s load, and various Infantry-related topics.
Rob Lovett
Charles E. Wilson
Neil H. McElroy
Thomas S. Gates Jr. (SECDEF during establishment of the nuke triad and Francis Gary Powers U-2 shoot-down over USSR)
Robert McNamara: JFK appointee, whiz kids, F-111 try-service fiasco, Gulf of Tonkin incident, Vietnam escalation under LBJ.
Clark Clifford: Oversaw the USS Liberty Investigation before he was SECDEF and said they ran every possible scenario and still couldn’t understand how they attacked the ship. Continued most of McNamara’s policies, but was opposed to escalation of Vietnam already in 1965. He was later part of the BCCI international criminal money-laundering banking scandal used by elites to evade regulatory interference from the nations.
Melvin Laird: Instituted gradual reforms with service budget caps and force structures under those caps, decentralized leadership, cut total military force size from 3.5 million in FY69 to 2.3 million in FY73. Was in the Pentagon for the B-1A, F-15, F-16, A-10, and Los Angeles Nuke Sub contract starts. Henry Kissinger bypassed Laird to the JCS and undermined his leadership, by isolating him from the President as much as possible.
Elliot Richardson: Brief stint as SECDEF under Nixon before becoming US AG
Bill Clements: Acting SECDEF after Richardson went to AG
James R. Schlesinger: Revised US policy on NATO, proposing they bear more share of the conventional forces counter to the USSR, and not rely on US nuclear weapons as their main deterrence and strategy. He pushed for increased defense spending by NATO countries during his time from 1973-1975. Evacuation of Saigon and SS Mayaguez happened under his time as SECDEF.
Donald Rumsfeld: Was brought in as the youngest SECDEF (43) after the "Halloween massacre" under Ford, along with George H.W. Bush as Director of CIA. He oversaw transition to an all-volunteer force, expansion of conventional and strategic forces, the Space Shuttle Program, and SALT II treaty.
Harold Brown: SECDEF under Jimmy Carter. Oversaw cancellation of B-1A but ordered USAF to continue its funded development. Emphasized existing nuclear triad programs to include B-52/ALCM combo instead of the Mach 2 B-1A/ALCM. Advanced Technology Bomber development was funded, as was initial MX/MIRV nuke missile to replace Minuteman and Titan missiles.
He also pushed for more NATO build-up among the NATO nations, and was part of the surrendering of the US claims on the Panama Canal Zone we built.
Caspar Weinberger 1981-1987: Reagan’s SECDEF who oversaw increased defense spending, reactivation of the B-1 program as the B-1B, increased force modernization, standards, deployment OPTEMPO, Joint Rapid Deployment Forces with the invasion of Grenada in Oct ’83, a simple plan to crush the Soviets by out-spending them in defense and overwhelming their capacity to keep pace with the US with the SDI program (as opposed to previous SECDEF/WH détente). 600-ship Navy, more nukes, more bombers, more fighters, more tanks, upgraded systems, missiles, and strengthening of NATO, Japan, and South Korea. Iran-Contra Affair
Frank Carlucci: He was Rumsfeld’s roommate at Princeton, went to Harvard, then into the State Dept. Filled in for Weinberger as SECDEF after Caspar resigned to take care of his wife. Carlucci part of Carlyle Group and PNAC, board of trustees for RAND, with holdings in General Dynamics, Westinghouse, and was Director of Wackenhut.
Dick Cheney: SECDEF under Bush41 from 1989-1993, where he slashed the budget and reduced US military personnel from 2.2 million to 1.8 million by ’93, while overseeing massive Base Realignment And Closures (BRAC). SECDEF during Just Cause invasion of Panama in Dec ’89 to oust Manuel Noriega.
Desert Storm 1991 campaign that saw the most decisive 20th Century military victory over the 4th-largest army in the world, measured in days. Was very supportive of smart plans for the invasion, and not impressed with some of the dumb ones. Component commanders were Vietnam vets who didn’t want their hands tied, went to the WH stating up front they wanted to go in with gloves off and end it quickly, which both Cheney and President Bush fully supported.
Council on Foreign Relations Director, Halliburton board member and CEO, and JINSA board of advisors.
Les Aspin: SECDEF under Clinton from 1993-1994. Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell, bottom-up review (lol), peacekeeping focus, weakness, females in combat duty positions shoved onto the force, downgraded SDI, emphasized environmental clean-up for NATO and NATO Partners for Peace. Aspin argued in-favor of Russian President Boris Yeltsin who warned against NATO expansion, while Eastern Europe all were scrambling to join the alliance in fear of the inevitable. In Sep 1993, Les Aspin denied requests from Colin Powell and US TF Commander in Somalia for AC-130 and armor support in the “get Aidid” mission assigned to them.
William Perry: Weak, more appeasement, get rid of SDI, Rwanda, cut the DoD budget. More BRAC base closings announced in 1995. Continued to push Nunn-Lugar threat reduction act, which was used to also disarm Ukraine of conventional weapons. START II treaty proponent.

President Trump Announces His Personal Lawyer Todd Blanche will Serve as Deputy Attorney General | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

And any anti-MAGA Leftist has a problem with that, then they need to be scrutinized and looked at hard. McCarthyism? You GD right.
To paraphrase Mark Lavine in his opening monologue, "American's have had it up to here with the Left's attempt to destroy their country."
Just watch which nominations/appointments ABC, NBC, CNN-lol, etc don't rail against for some reason or another.
Maybe what isn't said is more telling than what is said...
The two I see taking the most heat are Musk and RFK (and troll pick Gaetz, I suppose). I actually am starting to believe neither of them are bought nor laying in wait to sabotage the will and vote of the people.
Tulsi and Vivek, haven't heard the MSM criticize much...and it makes me suspicious haha.

I had forgotten about this, TRUMP’S ELECTION WILL BE THE BIGGEST “FUCK YOU” IN HISTORY - Michael Moore
looking like the rinos are going to fight him on approval of most of his appointments. don't know the law. is an instant recall election in their state or an impeachment move in their state a possibility?
Depends on whether or not he can get "recess appointments" done. If he can get both Houses to recess for 10+ days, he can fill the positions on his own. And he did request that of the Senate Majority leader and the House Speaker. Maybe it will happen. Maybe it won't, but we'll see.
Agree. If the RINO’s are blocking what I’d call pretty much a mandate to clean this place up, then they need to be recalled ASAP….3 months or less. I’m not saying we cannot have discussion; but RINOs are absolutely disgusting and have no ethical standard. Hell, I’ll give democrat/commies credit, they follow their orders…sometimes too well. But these RINOs are the same RINOs that have been stabbing constituents in back for the better part of 2 decades…time to go.
Same with the young ones….Katie Britt…gotta go baby…gotta go.
If the RINOs adopt an opposition posture out of the gate, Trump and his team can remind people of that in the mid-terms.
It’s a gamble many will not want to take, but their corporate owners will be pressuring them to do behind the scenes.
They’re going to have a big problem facing this mass attack political strategy, especially with such a mandate from the electorate that hasn’t been seen in such a long time. This is one of the only times where voters feel like their vote counted.
