The people who drove America’s institutions into the ground are upset that Donald Trump isn’t leaving the “experts” in charge. Following his convincing victory, Trump has swiftly announced his nominees for cabinet secretaries and other key roles. His selections include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health and human services secretary, Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense, and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. The Washington, D.C., establishment is beside itself. “Trump signals a ‘seismic shift,’ shocking the Washington establishment,” The New York Times reported. The Atlantic repeated that refrain with this headline: “Washington is shocked.” Apparently, an elected official keeping campaign promises is scandalous to the propaganda press. Trump talked about draining the swamp for years. These are the kinds of nominees who could actually do it. And this is what worries the political elite the most. “We need to strengthen the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and the public health infrastructure, not dismantle it as RFK has suggested,” a health care industry leader told Politico. “Folks are shocked,” a current Department of Defense official said, according to Politico. Of Hegseth, the official said, “He’s just a Fox News personality that’s never worked in the government.” That’s not accurate. Hegseth is a veteran who served as a major in the Army National Guard. He deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, earning two Bronze Stars. He has degrees from Princeton and Harvard. He ran two nonprofits focused on veterans, too. “‘We are reeling’: Trump’s pick of Tulsi Gabbard alarms intelligence community,” a TIME headline stated. The article said, “Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, has no background in intelligence.” The common theme of these critiques is that Trump’s choices don’t have the expertise needed to run these agencies. In many cases, they hold positions that are radically outside the “expert” consensus. Now, if America’s institutions were doing a great job, that might be concerning. But they aren’t. The public health “experts” told the public not to mask, then to mask, then to double mask. Anthony Fauci eventually admitted that the six-foot social distancing rule “sort of just appeared.” The COVID-19 vaccine was supposed to essentially stop virus transmission. It didn’t. Fauci eventually admitted that vaccines “don’t protect overly well” against infection. The “experts” kept schools closed even as it was obvious COVID-19 posed a negligible risk to children. Students still haven’t recovered from the learning loss. Many never will. Even aside from COVID-19, Americans aren’t healthy as 60% of Americans have a chronic disease and 40% have two or more. Among school-aged kids, it’s also 40%. More than 40% of Americans 20 and older are obese. Around 20% of children are obese. America is a deeply unhealthy society. The health experts say a man can become a woman. That men don’t have innate physical advantages over women. That doctors should cut off the healthy breasts and penises of children who think they are a different gender. The military is a woke mess. Navy ships keep having accidents. The Houthis are attacking U.S. warships in the Red Sea. The military is struggling with recruiting. Earlier this year, West Point removed “Duty, Honor, Country” from its mission statement. The school does offer a minor in “diversity and inclusion studies.” In 2020, more than 50 intelligence “experts” signed a letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop looked like a “Russian information operation.” It wasn’t. The intelligence community pressured social media sites to censor information it didn’t approve of. FBI officials undermined Trump’s first term by pushing the false narrative that he colluded with Russia. Trump’s selections won’t be perfect, but at least they understand this reality. This is why the establishment’s “Chicken Little” routine rings so hollow. The sky—or in this case, the institutions—have already fallen, destroyed by the very elites who now scaremonger about the damage outsiders will cause.

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is now upon us. This year was jam-packed with all sorts of events and breaking news, and taking it week by week, as I usually operate, that means the year flies by.Which is why it is nice that this week's holiday almost forces me to slow down and take stock of what I'm thankful for and what I am looking forward to in 2025.The main thing I am most thankful for is the ability to do my field reporting. When I joined Blaze Media in late April, I was in the Dallas office for only a few hours because I went to the airport to head out on my first assignment. That first story was covering police battling with pro-Hamas protesters who set up an encampment at the University of California Los Angeles.I will be there in the middle to ensure that accurate information is provided.After that it was off to the races. From anti-Israel protests at the Democratic National Convention to going to Springfield, Ohio, twice to see what was really going on there, it has been an eventful few months. This month, I had the opportunity to be at then-candidate Donald Trump's election party in West Palm Beach on Election Day. It was a little bit of a full-circle moment, because it was Trump's first victory in 2016 that provided the motivation to drop out of college, move to Washington, D.C., and go into journalism full-time.I am very thankful for Blaze Media for allowing me to be primarily in the field for different stories. Most importantly, I am thankful for you, the audience. Without your support, I would not be able to do what I do. As I'm sure you're aware, traveling in the Biden-Harris economy can get expensive. Other media companies have cut back on funding for trips.Your subscriptions fund my ability to get on the ground and tell the truth of what is happening in our hectic nation. That trust is something I am mindful of every time I step off an airplane.As for next year, I am most looking forward to again working with the men and women of Border Patrol and ICE agents. It should be no surprise that the last time I worked with U.S. Customs and Border Protection was October 2020, right before that election. The Biden-Harris administration did not want reporters to be with frontline personnel to show what was really happening in the border crisis they caused. We've been shut out for nearly four years.It was only through working with the Border Patrol union and the Texas Department of Public Safety that I was able to get to stories at the border.With the new Trump administration, that access to federal resources will be opened once again. The sealing of the southern border and the deportation operation will be a flash point in the country. I will be there in the middle to ensure that accurate information is provided.Like Blaze News?
