At the Sentinel, we thought Scott Bessant had been selected to become Treasury Secretary. That isn’t the case. President-Elect Trump has expanded his search. We were concerned about Bessent’s former Soros Fund employment and alleged lead role in collapsing the British pound in 1992. However, he has moved to the right over the years, donating […] The post Trump Is Looking Around at Other Potential Treasury Secretaries appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Masked burglars broke into farm buildings on the Windsor Castle estate owned by the royal family, where Prince William, his wife Kate Middleton, and their three children live in a nearby residence, police confirmed on Monday.  The news broke in the British tabloid The Sun. According to the outlet, the two burglars were able to breach a six-foot fence around the property in their quest to gain access to the farm equipment. They reportedly used a stolen vehicle to crash through the security gate on their way out. The British heir to the throne is believed to have been at Adelaide Cottage with his family, including Kate and Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, when the intrusion occurred. His father, King Charles III, and his wife, Queen Camilla, are known to stay on the property but were traveling at the time of the incident. A spokesman for the Thames Valley Police said they had received a report of a burglary on Crown Estate land shortly before midnight on October 13, per The New York Times. “Offenders entered a farm building and made off with a black Isuzu pickup and a red quad bike,” the police spokesman said. “No arrests have been made at this stage and an investigation is ongoing.” Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace declined to comment on the burglary. They are known for not issuing statements on security matters. This isn’t the first time the royal family had a major security concern. On Christmas Day in 2021, police confronted a man wearing a metal face mask carrying a crossbow. He told officers, “I am here to kill the queen,” the outlet noted.

There was also the infamous incident in 1982 when a man named Michael Fagan broke into the palace twice in one summer. The second time, he was able to access Queen Elizabeth’s bedroom while she was sleeping.  “They say she must have been frightened. I didn’t frighten her too much but I was quite shocked,” he told The Sun of finding the queen in her bed. “She used a phone on the bedside table to call security but when nobody came she got out of bed. Her nightie was one of those Liberty prints and it was down to her knees. She said, ‘Just one minute, I’ll get someone,’ swept past me and ran out of the room, her little bare feet running across the floor.” The intruder later blamed alcohol and magic mushrooms he had taken months earlier for his actions. 

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Monday that vetting is underway to find a replacement for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who has been picked to become President-elect Donald Trump‘s secretary of state, with a goal to appoint this replacement by early next year. In a post to X, DeSantis said Rubio is “expected” to resign from the Senate when Trump’s second term begins on January 20, which he noted would create a vacancy two months from now. The governor then shared details on what is being done to find Rubio’s successor, who would keep the seat until 2026, when a special election would be held for the final two years of the senator’s term. “We have already received strong interest from several possible candidates, and we continue to gather names of additional candidates and conduct preliminary vetting,” DeSantis said. “More extensive vetting and candidate interviews will be conducted over the next few weeks, with a selection likely made by the beginning of January.” He added: “Florida deserves a Senator who will help President Trump deliver on his election mandate, be strong on immigration and border security, take on the entrenched bureaucracy and administrative state, reverse the nation’s fiscal decline, be animated by conservative principles, and has a proven record of results.” President-elect Trump announced last week that he would nominate Rubio, a GOP rival from the 2016 presidential race who came around to support Trump, for the secretary of state position. Normally, a candidate for such a position would have to pass through a Senate confirmation process, but Trump has indicated that he wants to use recess appointments to install his Cabinet members. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Leading the U.S. Department of State is a tremendous responsibility and I am honored by the trust President Trump has placed in me,” Rubio said in a post to X. “As Secretary of State, I will work every day to carry out his foreign policy agenda. Under the leadership of President Trump we will deliver peace through strength and always put the interests of Americans and America above all else.  I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the U.S. Senate so the President has his national security and foreign policy team in place when he takes office on January 20.” Other politicians Trump has so far chosen to join his administration who hail from Florida include now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for attorney general and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) for national security adviser.
