from Revolver News: Did the 2024 election reveal the true extent of the 2020 cheating? That’s what many believe, after more than 10 million of Biden’s voters just went poof and disappeared. That’s a bit odd, isn’t it? This massive math problem has opened up a can of worms the Dems probably wanted to keep buried. It’s […]

“Well, I didn’t see that coming” has been a somewhat common refrain on Capitol Hill this week as President-elect Donald Trump announces his picks to lead his forthcoming administration. Trump has built his brand on breaking the mold of politics and continues the trend with his Cabinet appointments.  Not every choice has been a surprise. Susie Wiles has long been on Trump’s short list to be his chief of staff, given her years of loyalty to the president and her success in managing Trump’s reelection campaign. Wiles will make history as the first female chief of a president’s staff.  And Tom Homan’s experience in Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, coupled with his positive relationship with Trump, made him an obvious choice for “border czar.” But some of Trump’s picks were unexpected, though not necessarily in a bad way.

(John Lamparski/Getty Images) Amid a slew of cabinet announcements Tuesday, Trump nominated Pete Hegseth to serve as secretary of defense.  “Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice.”  Hegseth is a veteran and served in the Army National Guard at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and had tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has a Combat Infantryman Badge and two Bronze Stars for service in Iraq and Afghanistan.  On his website, Hegseth describes himself as a “husband, father, patriot, and a Christian.” He became a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend” in 2017. The veteran is a vocal opponent of the woke agenda that has seeped into the U.S. military and has called for an overhaul of Defense Department leadership.  “No one has been as consistently well-informed & on target as Pete Hegseth,” Jim Hanson, former Special Forces warrior and chief editor for the Middle East Forum, wrote on X. “He will bring back a warrior mentality where it is desperately needed.”  Matt Gaetz Rep.

Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., to serve as attorney general in his administration.  “Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice,” Trump wrote on social media Wednesday afternoon.  In 2023, Gaetz led the effort to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as speaker of the House. Gaetz has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for possible sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. He has denied the allegations and in September announced he would no longer voluntarily cooperate with the investigation.  Marco Rubio Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., speaks at the RNC in Milwaukee on July 16. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) After rumors began spreading Monday, Trump formally announced Wednesday that Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is his choice for secretary of the Department of State.  “He will be a strong advocate for our nation, a true friend to our allies, and a fearless warrior who will never back down to our adversaries,” Trump wrote in the announcement.  Rubio was born in Miami to parents who immigrated to America from Cuba. He has served in the Senate since 2010.  Tulsi Gabbard  Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii is seen here on Sept. 13, 2023.

(Samuel Corum/Getty Images) It’s not surprising that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will have a critical role in Trump’s forthcoming administration, but few thought the two entrepreneurs would be working side by side.  Vivek Ramaswamy takes the stage during a Trump campaign rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 9. (Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images) Trump has appointed Musk and Ramaswamy to lead his fledgling Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.  The department’s mission is to cut wasteful government spending and “ensure your tax dollars will be spent wisely,” according to the department’s X account.  Musk has promised a “leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.”  Kristi Noem  GOP South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is seen here on the Fox Business Network on May 7. (John Lamparski/Getty Images) South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has built her brand on advancing economic freedom and traditional values, and on standing against the threat China and other adversaries pose to America.  Trump appointed Noem to be the next secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. In his announcement, Trump praised Noem for her support of securing America’s borders.  “She was the first Governor to send National Guard Soldiers to help Texas fight the Biden Border Crisis, and they were sent a total of eight times,” Trump said, adding that Noem will work closely with Homan to secure the border.  On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss Trump’s Cabinet picks and why some are so surprising.

Early on 13 February 1692, 38 members of the Clan MacDonald were brutally murdered by Scottish government troops, while many who fled over the mountains perished in freezing conditions. The event unfolded in the famous valley of Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands, where just two weeks earlier the MacDonalds had played host to their assailants. In the latest History Hit documentary, Dan Snow journeys to the so-called ‘Weeping Glen’ to examine an astonishing new archaeological discovery: a hoard of coins likely hidden during one of the most shocking events in British history. Sign up to watch In the first-ever film to delve into the discovery, The Scottish Massacre: Unearthing the Secrets of Glencoe, Dan meets archaeologists from the University of Glasgow and National Trust for Scotland, who are currently excavating the village of Glencoe. He explores what life was like here for the MacDonalds and why the Massacre of Glencoe took place.

Or, with a new monarch on the throne of England and Scotland in the person of King William III, were there greater forces at play? The hoard was found hidden beneath the hearthstone in the summer house belonging to the clan chieftain of the MacDonalds of Glencoe, Alasdair Maclain. The 36 coins were located inside a small pot identified by student archaeologist Lucy Ankers, and may have been hidden by the MacDonald clan in the days leading up to the massacre—or even as they fled from government troops. New light on a key moment in Scottish history Each coin holds clues to the personal history and connections of MacIain, with several originating from regions he travelled to, such as France. One coin, depicting Stuart King Charles II and pierced with a hole, may even signify Jacobite allegiance, as it was likely worn as a necklace during a time of intense political division in the Scottish Highlands. “It’s so exciting when a new archaeological discovery ties in with famous historic events,” says Dan Snow. “Contemporary accounts tell us some details about the Glencoe Massacre, but many questions remain. So, to hold something tangible from those terrible events, a pot of treasured coins tucked away for safekeeping and then forgotten for centuries, is extraordinary and brings you so much closer to this notorious and important story.” “This remarkable find sheds new light on a key moment in Scottish history.” The documentary showcases the ongoing research that the discovery has inspired. History Hit filmed on-site with the archaeology team and historic coin expert Jesper Ericsson, revealing how analysis of the hoard provides new insights into the massacre and life in 17th-century Glencoe. “This discovery offers an amazing insight into the lives of Scottish Highland clan chiefs in the 17th century and their connections and negotiation of status,” explains Dr. Eddie Stewart, who co-led the dig. The Glencoe HoardImage Credit: Featured in The Scottish Massacre: Unearthing the Secrets of Glencoe by History Hit “For the first time, this documentary explores what these coins mean to the story not only of Glencoe and the 1692 massacre but also the personal travels and mobility of the Highland nobility,” says Stewart. “Our team of experts has brought to life a moment in time with the burial of this hoard and over a century of collecting practice!” Glencoe lives revealed The pot of coins hidden under the fireplaces suggests a story of panic, death and loss, adds Professor Michael Given. “What’s extraordinary about Glencoe is how a single dramatic moment in history can be captured in these everyday objects,” he says. “The archaeological evidence is also revealing a deep connection between the people of Glencoe and their land. When you understand this relationship you can better comprehend the true magnitude of the trauma they endured when their world was so violently upended in 1692 and their homes abandoned.” Beyond the hoard, the film explores new findings from excavations in the settlement of Achnacon, including a beautifully recreated turf-walled house designed by the National Trust for Scotland to resemble 17th-century Highland homes. They vividly reveal the lives of Glencoe’s residents at the time of the massacre. Sign up to watch
