My honey (Diana) and I saved enough to mini-vacation in our favorite entertainment city of Branson MO. As such, I’m sharing from our hotel room with Wi-Fi not as good as our home Internet connection.
I’m keeping today’s share simple due a combination of Internet and vacationing with my honey.
Ray DiLorenzo has some great thoughts at the Canada Free Press in which the post-photo instantly got my attention with a Machiavelli quote embedded in a picture of a couple Leftist crazies in the Biden Administration. THE QUOTE: “The first method of estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.” The DiLorenzo article is entitled, “January 20 Can't Come Soon Enough” posted on 12/7/24.
THEN I read a 12/6/24 post at The Daily Signal by the insightful Victor Davis Hanson under the title, “Why the Left Is Going Insane Over Trump’s Cabinet Nominees”.

January 20 Can't Come Soon Enough
As one reaches a certain age, it's natural to want time to slow down a bit, but I'm willing to allow some wiggle room to ensure Trump takes office as quickly as God will allow. And may Almighty God protect him.

The craziness and insanity are coming to an end. What we have seen these past four years has been a shock to every patriotic American. What was once an area reserved for the pride and joy in us has turned sour, especially in three areas: government, healthcare, and security, both financial and personal.
Sickening drone from every Democrat that "No one is above the law."
Hopefully, the money laundering, the influence peddling, and
denying our hurricane-ravaged citizens monetary help while Ukraine and Africa
got billions were bad enough. The twisting of the law to undermine political
opponents was particularly disheartening. The government has been ardently
working to normalize homosexuality and transgenderism in our culture and our
public schools, and the news of major hospitals turning children into an
"it" instead of leaving them as God created them, male and female. An
obese transsexual assistant secretary of health, who badly needs a
psychiatrist, gave us advice on fitness and a trans gala with half-naked
attendees that took place on the White House lawn.
Now that the dust has settled, we see crazy leftist women getting sterilized,
having their fallopian tubes removed as a statement of rebellion against Trump
winning the election. Many of them will likely experience profound regret when
they meet the right guy in the near future. Other students are settling for
milk and cookies their university has provided to relieve them from all the
stress of the loss.
The constant stream of lies about what is going on has been exhausting. We knew
that our inflation wasn't going to be 'transitory.' But they lied anyway. We
knew Biden was going to pardon his son, but he lied anyway, even after the
constant, sickening drone from every Democrat that "No one is above the
law."
Obama may as well sell his Washington house. He won't be needing it. No one is listening anymore
It didn't stop the bureaucracy from digging in and making plans for the next four years. After all, everything that was important to them was on their side... They had the money, the bureaucracy, the media, and Hollywood. It was like watching a glorious party from next door, but we were not invited.
But they forgot about the people. They didn't have them but
thought, in the few minutes they allowed, that they did. They actually thought
celebrities were going to make us forget their incompetence, their corruption,
their neglect, their apathy. It will go down as one of the greatest political
underestimations of all time.
In some respects, it has been great fun watching Obama merchandising Biden to
deaf ears. He will not get his fourth term after all. His book has finally been
closed. He may as well sell his Washington house. He won't be needing it. No
one is listening anymore.
Many of us, who closely observe events, continue to be perplexed by our
government's persistent attempts to antagonize Russia, risking all-out war. We
were aware that Putin was concerned about their dwindling buffer, but parading
Ukraine's application or interest in joining NATO to his face was not going to
go over well. But they did it anyway, encouraging Zelensky and pissing off
Putin.
I am convinced that the globalists with the aid of the Democrat Party were in the process of dismantling our country
I believe that the Democrats and elements in the West and in
NATO hate Trump enough to create a world war.
Our healthcare has taken a beating. After COVID and the parade of vaccines that
were nothing more than experimental drugs having killed millions worldwide, who
wants to go to the doctor for anything? What was once a sacred trust has turned
to suspicion. I feel bad for the numerous doctors and nurses who saw what was
happening and bit their collective tongues till they squirted.
What we will find refreshing is that our returning president
actually has goals. We should strive for peace, restoration, productivity,
fiscal responsibility, ensuring national and personal security, and bringing
back a sense of normalcy with a semblance of morality and natural law, if we
can still find it somewhere.
I am convinced that the globalists with the aid of the Democrat Party were in
the process of dismantling our country. The election stopped them cold, but
they have not given up.
As one reaches a certain age, it's natural to want time to slow down a bit, but
I'm willing to allow some wiggle room to ensure Trump takes office as quickly
as God will allow. And may Almighty God protect him.

Why the Left Is Going Insane Over Trump’s Cabinet Nominees
December 6, 2024

Deflated by the resounding November defeat, the Left now believes it can magically rebound by destroying President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees.
Many of Trump’s picks are well outside the usual Washington, D.C./New York political, media, and corporate nexus.
But that is precisely the point—to insert reformers into a bloated, incompetent, and weaponized government who are not part of it.
Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, is already drawing severe criticism.
Patel’s furious enemies cannot go after his resume, since he has spent a lifetime in private, congressional, and executive billets, both in investigations and intelligence.
Instead, they claim he is too vindictive and does not reflect the ethos of the FBI.
But what will Patel not do as the new director?
He will not serially lie under oath to federal investigators, as did interim FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a current Patel critic.
He will not forge an FBI court affidavit, as did convicted felon and agency lawyer Kevin Clinesmith.
He will not claim amnesia 245 times under congressional oath to evade embarrassing admissions, as did former FBI Director James Comey.
He will not partner with a foreign national to collect dirt and subvert a presidential campaign as the FBI did with Christopher Steele in 2016.
He will not use the FBI to draft social media to suppress news unfavorable to a presidential candidate on the eve of an election.
He would not have suppressed FBI knowledge that Hunter Biden’s laptop was genuine—to allow the lie to spread that it was “Russian disinformation” on the eve of the 2020 election.
He will not raid the home of an ex-president with SWAT teams, surveil Catholics, monitor parents at school board meetings, or go after peaceful, pro-life protesters.
Decorated combat veteran Pete Hegseth is another controversial nominee for secretary of defense.
What will Hegseth likely not do?
Go AWOL without notifying the president of a serious medical procedure as did current Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin?
Install race and gender criteria for promotion and mandate training in diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI?
Insinuate falsely that cabals of white supremacists had infiltrated the military—only to alienate that entire demographic and thus ensure the Pentagon came up 40,000 recruits short?
Oversee the scramble from Kabul, Afghanistan, that saw $50 billion in U.S. military equipment abandoned to Taliban terrorists?
Watch passively as a Chinese spy balloon traversed the continental United States for a week?
Allow the chairman of the Joint Chiefs to promise his Chinese communist counterpart that the People’s Liberation Army would first be informed if the president of the United States was felt to issue a dangerous order?
Rotate into the Pentagon from a defense contractor boardship and then leave office to rotate back there to leverage procurement decisions?
Oversee the Pentagon’s serial flunking of fiscal audits?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services, is certainly a maverick. He may earn the most Democratic hits, given his former liberal credentials.
But what will RFK also not do as HHS secretary?
Oversee his agencies’ circumventing of U.S. law by transferring money to Communist China to help it produce lethal gain-of-function viruses of the COVID-19 sort—in the manner of Dr. Anthony Fauci?
Organize scientists to go after critics of mandatory masking and defame them?
Give pharmaceutical companies near-lifetime exemptions from legal jeopardy for rushing into production mRNA vaccines not traditionally vetted and tested?
Leave office to monetize his HHS expertise and thus make millions from the pharmaceutical companies?
Trump’s nominee for national intelligence director, former House member and military veteran Tulsi Gabbard, will soon be defamed in congressional hearings.
But what has Gabbard not done?
Joined “51 former intelligence authorities” to lie on the eve of the 2020 election that the Hunter Biden laptop “had all the hallmarks” of a Russian information/disinformation operation”—in an effort to swing the election to Joe Biden?
Lied under congressional oath like former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who claimed he gave only the “least untruthful answer” in congressional testimony?
Encourage the FBI to monitor a presidential campaign in efforts to discredit it—in the manner of former CIA Director John Brennan, who lied not once but twice under oath?
Fail to foresee the American meltdown in Kabul, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, or the Houthis’ takeover of the Red Sea?
We are going to hear some outrageous things in the upcoming congressional confirmation hearings.
But one thing we will not hear about are the crimes, deceptions, and utter incompetence of prior and current government grandees.
The current Biden-Harris crew, not their proposed Trump replacements, prompted the sick and tired American people to demand different people.
Voters want novel approaches to reform a government that they not only no longer trust but also now deeply fear.
