Roundup
(1) Some theories about what might be behind the Gaetz nomination.
(2) Israel may have struck a secret nuclear research facility in Iran. And now that Trump is waiting in the wings, I’d expect to see more of that in the future.
(3) Chris Wallace says buh-bye to CNN:
CNN anchor Chris Wallace was reportedly told his two poorly rated shows would be canceled and his massive salary slashed before the veteran journalist announced he would leave the network.
Wallace, who was being paid a reported $7 million a year, was informed that he was welcome to stay on as an analyst but at a much lower salary as part of CEO Mark Thompson’s vast cost-cutting initiatives, according to Puck News.
Instead, Wallace announced earlier this week that he was exiting CNN, and portrayed the move in a Daily Beast interview as a pivot to podcasting and streaming — because “that’s where the action seems to be,” he said.
Well, both things can certainly be true. But does Wallace have that kind of a following, or the sort of style to make it in podcasting? I don’t think so.
(4) Rand Paul will be chairing the Homeland Security Committee in the new Senate.
(5) The left is saying Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian tool. I seem to recall that none other than good old Hillary Clinton started that sort of accusation against Gabbard way back in 2019; see this.
The Hillary part of the Democratic Party is continuing to live in the 2016-era, with all their Russian tool disinformation. How long before they move on to something else? Really, folks — it’s time to find a new boogey man.
Shhhhh. Don’t tell them.
Never.
It’s far too convenient… and useful!
File under: Convenient untruth….
…to be sure, EVERYTHING that emanates from those jokers is a convenient untruth…
Hey! It’s almost as though Musk gifted the Mullahs with hundreds of billions of dollars!!

Don’t know about Chris if he is real or a head fake, that we will see.
Been saying Israel needs to hold on for 2 months, Don’t give in.
Never liked Chris even when I use to watch Fox.( bailed on them when they hired Brazile)
Notice that for the American left, Russia did not become an adversary until after the breakup of the USSR and Russia’s moving away from communism. Note also that communism did not go away with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. It laid low for a while, licked its wounds, and then resurfaced in, among other places, the climate change movement.
The political elites on the left, while they may not be communists per se, certainly view “our democracy” as a huge pain in the neck. What I am sure no small number of them would like is a police state (how hard or soft can be debated), while still enjoying for themselves perks like insider trading, luxurious vacations and dining, private jet travel, cocktail parties with celebrities, etc. etc. etc.
Tulsi left the plantation, for the devil Trump, and now the hounds have to hunt her down and destroy her.
Not satisfied with the failure of their ignorant “fascist” and “Hitler” talk, they revert to “Russia.” It’s not going to fly.
Boy, what a difference it makes for Trump to win the Electoral College, the popular vote, the Senate and the House.
I’m relieved that the Dems and the Deep State don’t feel so desperate as to have Trump couped or assassinated.
At least not yet.
It did seem to be a possibility.
I’ll be interested to see if Trump releases the Epstein files or Diddy’s. Though I suspect he will use them as bargaining chips.
I hope the Tulsi revokes all their security clearances.
John “Big Mustache” Bolton open his yap again. Musk shut it for him.
Wallace is self retiring. He won’t get an audience.
Russia is much like the way they felt about righf wing dictatorships in south america or one like greece ideological renewal regimes as the founder of the hudson institute put it
More on Gaetz– it doesn’t feel like a loyalty test.
48 GOP senator voted to make Lisa Monaco the deputy attorney general, an arguably worse vote then Garland
Or maybe it’s a test whether a president should have the cabinet of his choice. Seems Republicans were all for that for a Democrat president.
Well worth perusing Julie Kelly’s X feed. Seems some conservatives are willing to go after Jack Smith for criminal conduct related to his witchhunts.
On another note, the support for Gaetz is genuine.
