Pam Bondi in as AG

54-46 vote.

At what point is Fetterman just a Republican now?  Is the DNC going to let him run as a dem again?

Interesting connection between USAID, the Vindman aholes, and their mega contract of $12 million to operate in Ukraine. These guys are more loyal to Ukraine (and themselves) than they are to the USA.

Last week, I wrote to James Risch, the Idaho Senator on the Intelligence Select Committee urging him to approve Tulsi Gabbard for DNI. He must have voted for her in committee, because the committee is 9R/8D. Unless a D and a couple of Rs flipflopped.

I just got a response from him today, and I have to say that it's incredibly mealy mouthed - especially for a deep red state Senator who is supposedly all in on Trump. It almost sounds like he's wordsmithing a "no" vote without coming out and saying so. If he is all about the "Trump mandate" as he says, couldn't he have just said he supports her? I mean, the stupid committee vote was secret, but he'll have to vote "yes" in the senate vote for her to get in. His response almost sounds like he's responding to a democrat that he's trying to brush off.

Quote
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding the nomination of Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence.  I appreciate hearing from you.

The American people gave President Trump an overwhelming mandate on November 5.  As President, he is entitled to nominate the people he believes are best qualified for the job.  It is critical these key positions are filled with capable individuals committed to President Trump's agenda.  As a member of the United States senate, I have a constitutional advice-and-consent role on these nominations.  This is an obligation I take seriously.

In exercising my role, I will carefully review nominees to ensure they meet Idaho's conservative values.

Again, I value your effort to get in touch with me to share your thoughts, as many Idahoans do.  Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future on this or other issues.

Very Truly Yours,

James E. Risch
United State Senator

I think there may be many closet RINOs who haven't been unmasked yet and intents to stay that way.

I believe 2025 just got real interesting with DOGE/Elon and Trump on task of shedding light in some dark shadowy places.

That looks like a standard one-size-fits-all response from your Senator, Ben.  I'd guess he'll vote to confirm.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
