Patel, Ramaswamy To Celebrate Inauguration With Traditional Bollywood Ceremony

 

U.S. — To the delight of millions, President-Elect Trump has announced that future FBI Director Kash Patel and DOGE co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy will celebrate the inauguration with an epic Bollywood ceremony.

"Vivek and Kash will crush the Deep State, but before that, they will perform the most special and incredible Indian dance the world has ever seen," said Trump to cheering fans.  "There will be eagles and tigers and elephants and dancing women, and they will even make that cool dance move where it looks like they're trying to screw in a lightbulb.  It will be almost as cool as my dance moves, but not quite, let's be honest."

Patel and Ramaswamy seemed caught off guard by the announcement.  "I'm an American from Ohio," said Ramaswamy.  [...]

75% Of Elves Laid Off After Elon Musk Visits North Pole

 

NORTH POLE — A somber mood reportedly spread quickly among the workforce at Santa's workshop this week, as 75% of the elves on staff were laid off after Elon Musk visited the North Pole.

The SpaceX and Tesla founder had been invited to the workshop by Santa Claus himself as part of an initiative to streamline the toy-making process and make the workshop operation more efficient, which eventually resulted in massive layoffs.

"His first suggestion was to just clean house," said Greg, an elf who was laid off after 30 years in the workshop.  [...]

I’m good with that, so long as Buddy the Elf is one of those put out to pasture. ☠️

Pete Hegseth's Nomination Is A Hill Trump Should Die On

 

The Washington GOP establishment's opposition to Pete Hegseth serving as President Trump's secretary of defense has nothing to do with the unsubstantiated allegations against Hegseth and everything to do with resistance to Trump's plans to reform the Department of Defense and end America's involvement in endless foreign wars that are so beloved by the establishment.

That's why Hegseth's nomination is a hill Trump should die on.  If a handful of Senate Republicans can sink Hegseth, they will spend the next four years undermining and obstructing Trump's entire agenda.  Trump needs to send them a message that such obstruction won’t be tolerated in his second term.  Now is the time for the president-elect to make them understand that if they oppose his nominees, they'll be putting their political careers in jeopardy.  [...]

I worked with Kash Patel to expose the Russia hoax and know he's the best pick to reform the FBI

 

[...] You can imagine how intimidating it would be for a staffer to be directly threatened by top-level Department of Justice officials.  But Kash could not be bullied.  He was fearless, methodical, and intelligent, and ultimately played a decisive role in exposing the most consequential and damaging hoax in American history.  [...]

Pathetic Corporate Media Targets Tulsi Gabbard

 

[...] Having smeared Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump's nominee for secretary of defense, the horde is now going after Tulsi Gabbard, his pick for director of national intelligence (DNI).  Gabbard was a four-term Democrat House member who served on the Armed Services Subcommittee on Intelligence.  She served in the Army National Guard for two decades, deployed to Iraq and Kuwait and is now a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.  According to a report in Politico, "Gabbard does have one of the highest levels of security clearance, known as a TS/SCI, due to her time in the military."  Yet, the media circulate a letter from "former national security officials" who say she isn't up to the job.  Sound Familiar?  As Yogi Berra would have put it, "It's like deja vu all over again."  [...]

According to a report in Politico, “Gabbard does have one of the highest levels of security clearance, known as a TS/SCI, due to her time in the military.”

that is absolute tripe.  one does not gain a clearance of that level due to time in the military - it's not a time in service award.  it is painfully obvious that whoever at politico that wrote that has zero clue what they are talking about.

FBI Director Chris Wray to resign at end of Biden term, clearing way for Trump pick

 

CNN — FBI Director Chris Wray will resign at the end of the Biden administration, the agency said Wednesday, as it became clear he would be forced out by President-elect Donald Trump.

Trump, who originally nominated Wray after firing the previous FBI director, previously announced he will nominate Kash Patel for the role, although Wray still had three years remaining on his 10-year term. Patel has been meeting with senators to build support for a confirmation vote next year.

Wray had wrestled with whether or not to resign given Trump’s stated desire to replace him, sources say, and wants to facilitate an orderly transition. But some in the FBI worried his departure would normalize Trump’s penchant for replacing FBI directors he doesn’t like, as the position is supposed to straddle administrations and be insulated from politics.

Exchange “FBI directors he doesn’t like” for “FBI weasels” and we might be closer to the truth. ☠️

Report reveals that FBI spied on its likely new director, Kash Patel

 

It's going to be awkward at FBI headquarters next month when President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the bureau likely takes over.

According to a new government watchdog report, the FBI spied on its prospective new boss, Kash Patel.

Patel has promised to "clean house" at the Hoover Building, and hold all those who "abused their power" during the Russiagate "witch hunt" accountable.  [...]
