Looks like I had it right. (other than the 24 hour democrat delay) Congratulations Secretary Hegseth. .

Both conditions posed by Trump are neither beyond the pale nor unreasonable; they are of the utmost necessity if California will ever be able to thrive again. During Trump's first term as president in 2017, he offered at least one of these conditions: to redirect the water back to Southern California, and Newsom rejected it. The year 2018 saw the most catastrophic series of fires in the state's history: the Paradise Fire, the Camp Fire, and the Woolsey Fire among the most destructive among them. It is 2025, and California started the year with five catastrophic fires, and new ones seem to keep developing. Millions have lost their lives and their property and desperately need assistance. It would behoove Newsom to lay off the politics and gaslighting and accept conditions that will not only help those who most need it, but reverse the state's decline. -- Jennifer Oliver O'Connell https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2025/01/24/trump-flies-to-california-to-assess-the-fire-damage-lays-down-conditions-for-receipt-of-federal-aid-n2184768

Yeah, she did a 180 after her earlier statements were severely criticized Meanwhile:

Your silly comparison would make more sense if Mr. Hegseth wasn't qualified, but he is. Adults don't automatically accept the "everyone does it" lie. .

In DC this morning meeting with party leaders, signing more EO's, In Western North Carolina this afternoon meeting with long displaced flood victims, At the Palisades in California this evening meeting with firefighters and fire victims. Even the biggest opponents here have to admit. We finally have a President ! .

Vote still set for 9PM. Democrat senators giving speeches warning that Pete is the worst candidate ever for any position ever 🤣

Before RFK Jr. Takes on Pharma, Single-Payer Advocates, He Must Face Two Senate Committees By Neil W. McCabe The confirmation hearings for President Donald J. Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have finally been scheduled, but the change-up in the committee venue speaks to the spectacular drama-trauma playing out as the Washington establishment comes to grasp the reality of opposing Trump’s pick to run the $1.8 trillion department. Kennedy is scheduled to testify before the Senate Committee on Finance on Jan. 29, first out of the gate instead of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, chaired by Louisiana Republican Sen. William H. Cassidy. In general, Senate Republicans have the highest immunity to Trump’s charms, in stark contrast to the close bond with Trump that House Republicans enjoy. Cassidy, a physician, is up for a new term in the 2026 cycle and has shown no eagerness to schedule the hearings for Kennedy—claiming there was an issue with the paperwork. Now, the scion of the Massachusetts Irish Catholic political dynasty is slated to meet with the HELP committee on Jan. 30. Now that Trump has granted clemency to J6ers, pro-life activists, and others, it is Cassidy who needs to seek mercy and forgiveness from the restored president since he was one of seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump after his second impeachment trial. Already, former congressman and current state treasurer John Fleming has announced he is challenging Cassidy in the primary. Yet, ramping up to these hearings, Cassidy has given no sign that he is looking to make nice. He criticized Trump's J6 pardons, and he also laid into Kennedy for his 360-degree analysis of vaccines. That said, Cassidy does not publicly oppose RFK Jr.’s nomination. https://redstate.com/mccabe/2025/01/24/before-rfk-jr-takes-on-pharma-single-payer-advocates-must-face-two-senate-committees-n2184747

We are currently watching the wokest elements of the left realizing in real time that they are a tiny minority and that most Americans hate them and their ideas. For a long time they thought they were the dominant force in America, socially and politically. It is now dawning on them, one by one, that they have no power and--worse--that they are reviled and loathed. It's happening right before our eyes like watching a spring flower unfurl its petals. I for one am enjoying it immensely.

Keep using the tools available. The Canadian government needed no translation, of course. The question is whether they think Trump might be bluffing. They ought to know better.

More: WE AREN’T OUT OF THE WEIMAR YEARS YET: Hollywood Nominates a Dude for ‘Best Actress.’ Sarah Anderson Look, I couldn't care less about the Oscars, and I'm sure most of you agree. Hollywood has long proven that it is out of touch with reality and out of touch with the rest of the country. But as a woman — an actual biological woman in case we have any confused liberals lurking around — I'm so sick of the misogyny that has infiltrated our culture in the form of transgenderism. For example, while the Academy Awards mean nothing to most of us, I'm sure they do mean something to the people who create movies. And each year, only five women are nominated for the coveted "Best Actress" award. Out of all the actresses in all the movies, that's a pretty small group, so when one of those coveted slots ends up going to a man, it's kind of gross. Kind of like when a guy participates in women's sports. This year's nominees are Cynthia Erivo from "Wicked," Mikey Madison from "Enora," Demi Moore from "The Substance," Fernanda Torres from "I'm Still Here," and Karla Sofia Gascon from "Emilia Perez." The thing is Karla Sofia Gascon was actually born Carlos Gascon. In 2016, he decided he was a woman. At that time, he'd been with his wife, Marisa Gutierrez, and they had a five-year-old daughter. Something I find sort of odd about that is that appears to be his first film role since 2013, but I'll keep my speculation about that to myself. https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2025/01/23/hollywood-nominates-a-dude-for-best-actress-n4936312

Wow. Why would you write that when the 'cherry picked' Elon Musk video shows the same thing ? Oh, that's right, you're not very bright. .

In Two Days, Trump Answered More Reporter Questions Than Biden Did In Four Years – And Without A Cheat Sheet Issues & Insights, by Editorial Board OK, we admit, we haven’t actually counted the number of reporters’ questions President Donald Trump has answered since being sworn in. And four years is certainly an exaggeration. In any case, someone covering the White House should keep track, because it won’t take long for Trump to beat Biden on this score. Biden held the fewest number of press conferences of any modern president. He would answer questions only from pre-selected reporters. He had to have a cheat sheet with him at all times to give his answers, and even then the White House would often have to rush out to correct the record. https://issuesinsights.com/2025/01/23/in-two-days-trump-answered-more-reporter-questions-than-biden-did-in-four-years-and-without-a-cheat-sheet/

Couldn't agree more. Trump is a great President, but no 3rd term please. A very short-sighted idea.

Democrats keep delaying, but. . . . . . . .

,

Moving towards the vote tonight. 3 republicans will vote against (Murkowski, Collins and McConnell) VP Vance will break the tie.. Democrats blocking qualified nominations by slander MUST not prevail.
