What Trump’s Cabinet Picks All Have in Common: They Don’t Give a ____
Washington, D.C.’s currency is power. It’s wielded like Thor’s hammer by whomever holds it, unless the person holding it is a Republican. Weak and morally insecure, Republicans seek something different than power. They seek approval. The problem is that the approval they seek is not from their constituents. Rather, they seek the approval of people who better wield power and with a surer hand. Worse, they seek the approval of the support system for the real power wielders: the media.
All sorts of political decisions can be explained by this simple metric: Republicans fear the wrong people and for the wrong reasons. Donald Trump, the billionaire developer from Queens, was elected, to borrow a book title, because he had mastered the art of not giving a f**k. All of Trump’s characteristics that D.C. insiders find distasteful and gauche undergird the reasons he was elected. The people wanted Thor’s Hammer in the hand of one of their own — not in the hands of people who hated them. (READ MORE from Melissa Mackenzie: About Tolerance)
Once in D.C. for his first term, the political neophyte thought that other Republicans had his back and wanted to serve their voters. He trusted the betrayers who served the real power wielders (Democrats and the bureaucracy) and the media who loved them. Trump is not making the same mistake again. This time, Trump is putting people like him, people who serve the people, in charge. They have one thing in common: None of them give a f**k.
The media, so used to being in control, or having proxy power by sycophancy, hates Pete Hegseth, RFK, Jr., Matt Gaetz, and the rest of the appointees. Trump and the people who voted for him view this as a badge of honor. The psychopathic liars running the media have spent their good will. No one believes them — except old school Republicans. Everyone else is in on the game. Trump and every one of his picks so far do not care one whit what CNN says, because CNN hosts are liars. Tonight, they called Pete Hegseth a racist and white supremacist. These epithets have lost their power on Americans. They’ve already been called everything in the book. Lesser Republicans go wobbly. That’s most of them.

Donald Trump got vast swaths of voters to change their direction because, like him, these people are sick to death of being lied to and about. They’re sick of being talked down to. They’re sick of D.C. They’re sick of inflation. They’re sick of seeing illegal immigrants everywhere and being paid for nothing. They’re sick of their girls competing against boys. They’re sick of teachers melting down in front of their children and calling their parents racists or sexists or homophobes. Speaking of teachers, they’re sick of behind-the-back queer clubs transing their children. They’re sick of porn books in schools. They’re sick of the abnormal and downright sick being promoted as normal and healthy.
Someone needs to fight back and those who fight back must have iron wills and be immune to criticism because it won’t matter what they do, they’ll be criticized. They’ll be defamed. They’ll be slandered. They’ll be undercut, back-stabbed, and betrayed, and they will have to have the strength of will to continue on and finish the mission.
A solid, decent political appointee like Jeff Sessions won’t cut it. The D.C. machine made short work of a very good man so now, there will not be “good” men. There will be the “right” men and women for the jobs and they will have to have iron wills and indomitable courage. These leaders will be charging up hill against soldiers fighting for their very lives. It will be urban warfare of the most dangerous kind: going into the neighborhoods of vicious terrorists and rooting them out of havens they’ve built over decades.
Imagine the Jews fighting in Gaza. Vast tunnel networks and then leadership centers using human shields to buttress their positions under needed resources like hospitals. Yes, that is what all of these Cabinet members will be dealing with. Expect women and children to be used as shields. There will be screeching about this or that program and what will happen to the kids?! (Mind you these are the people for whom abortion is a sacrament.) There will be frantic cries about the elderly. Veterans who will end up with better benefits and more help will be lied to. Plum programs enriching evil people who do nothing but profess to “care” will run screaming to the press about how President Trump hates ___ group.
The gnashing of teeth will be fierce, hyperbolic, and relentless. And Donald Trump’s Cabinet must not bow and must not bend. They will have to charge and charge again and charge again.
For Republicans considering whether to confirm these folks: what do you have to lose? Your face and pride to a media who already hates you? Let these warriors be your sword and shield. Some will die in the fight. That should please you. But at least let some people of courage do the work of the American people you’re too afraid, or too bought off, to do. If you voted for the execrable Merrick Garland, you can vote for Satan himself. You don’t see it that way because Garland’s exterior was that of an angel of light and made it easier for you. Donald Trump is not making it easy for you, and that makes you uncomfortable. What should cause you pain, though, is the thought of being removed should you thwart the president’s will and mandate.
The people Donald Trump nominates have one important trait in common: courage bordering on insanity. Anything less and the job won’t get done. Lincoln needed his Grant. Trump needs people to burn a path to justice and restore the union. This is not subtle work. This is not morally ambiguous. This is work made for wild men hellbent on victory for the American people.
So everyone clutching their pearls and bemoaning the terrible character of the people President Trump is putting forth: consider that these jobs are not fit for good and sane men. These jobs need single-minded, driven mad men immune to the vicissitudes of the mediocrities in the media and the yellow bellies of the political class. So get out of the way, and let these crazies do their jobs. Recess appointments are good for two years. Let these rabble rousers loose. What’s the worst that could happen? It already has. The only way from here is up.
