Donald Trump's honeymoon starts

According to this article, President-Elect Donald Trump has worked hard enough and smart enough to earn himself a honeymoon to start his second term. According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, "50% of voters believe America’s best days are now in its future, while 39% claim they are in the past, and 11% say they are happening right now."

Further, a "newly released CBS News poll on Sunday showed that a majority of voters (59%) approve of how President-elect Donald Trump is handling the transition of power." It's worth noting that President-Elect Trump has worked feverishly to name his cabinet. That's meant that he isn't grabbing all of the headlines.

It’s obvious that he's a different person than the Donald Trump of his first term. President-Elect Trump is entirely different than ‘Mean Tweets’ Trump from the first term in office. Reporters could get under ‘Mean Tweets’ Trump’s skin without much effort.

A majority of Trump voters also supported nominations such as Fox News personality and combat veteran Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense (64%), former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Director of Health & Human Services (80%) and Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for Secretary of State (75%).
I wasn't aware of Zach Wamp's analysis before but it's caught my attention. Check this out:

Thus far, President-Elect Trump has put together a pretty solid cabinet. Yes, Matt Gaetz wasn't a hit with the Senate but Pam Bondi definitely is a big hit. Matt Gaetz is already an afterthought. As for Trump's picks of Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard, they're unconventionaal but they aren't automatically disqualified as some Democrats have argued.

President-Elecct Trump campaigned as the change agent so people expect some turmoil from the Uniparty, aka the Establishment. It wouldn't surprise me if Marco Rubio is easily confirmed with strong bipartisan support. Meanwhile, I expect Hegseth and Gabbard will get confirmed with some bipartisan support.

President-Elect Trump's honeymoon will continue as long as he keeps making good decisions and keeping his head down. Without question, Democrats will attempt to push back hard against the newly-formed Trump administration. As long as President-Elect Trump keeps delivering on his promises, the honemoon will continue.

Let's remember that Joe Biden's honeymoon ended in Afghanistan. After that, he didn't recover. By August of this year, he'd withdrawn from the race entirely.

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...
