General "Mad Dog" James Mattis and
Dr. Benjamin Carson up today, see no problem of both passing. Carson should have been in charge of Health Care. HUD should be a watchdog agency only and stripped of handing out free money.

Top 11 Mattis quotes from his Senate confirmation hearing
"My belief is that we have to stay focused on the military that is so lethal that on the battlefield, it is the enemy's longest day and worst day when they run into that force."
"I've never cared much about two consenting adults and who they go to bed with." (He was answering a question on gays serving in the military.)

Does every Cabinet Pick really need to be asked on politically correct LGBT support; already covered by equal opportunity hiring?
Kamela Harris as a newly elected California Democrat Senator asked Cabinet Pick CIA Mike Pompeo on Climate Change and his stance on LGBT recruitment! Where are the important questions over real world espionage security issues!? Asking a completely unrelated to the job environmental question and if he would hire gays. The Global Warming nonsense unrelated to National Security coming from Harris as the former California Attorney General, the Stupid at it again! Video Link in the Quote.

After receiving Pompeo’s assurance that he would treat his employees fairly, Harris moved on to the question of climate change. “As the director of CIA, I would prefer today to not get into the details of climate debate and science,” Pompeo said. “My role is going to be so different and unique from that. It is going to be to work alongside warriors keeping Americans safe.” Unhappy with his response, Harris pressed for a “guarantee” that the two of them would have a follow-up conversation on climate change.

We had a great News Conference at Trump Tower today. A couple of FAKE NEWS organizations were there but the people truly get what's going on. James Clapper called me yesterday to denounce the false and fictitious report that was illegally circulated. Made up, phony facts. Too bad! CNN is in a total meltdown with their FAKE NEWS because their ratings are tanking since election and their credibility will soon be gone! It now turns out that the phony allegations against me were put together by my political opponents and a failed spy afraid of being sued.
All of my Cabinet nominee are looking good and doing a great job. I want them to be themselves and express their own thoughts, not mine!
Congrats to the Senate for taking the first step to #RepealObamacare- now it's onto the House! The "Unaffordable" Care Act will soon be history!
Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get! The Democrats are most angry that so many Obama Democrats voted for me. With all of the jobs I am bringing back to our Nation, that number will only get higher. Car companies and others, if they want to do business in our country, have to start making things here again. WIN!
Press Secretary Sean Spicer gave a prolonged opening statement concerning the Russian Hacks; yet the Media wasted valuable News Conference time asking repeat Russian Hack questions focused on the most recent fake news put out by CNN and BuzzFeed! Trump tore CNN up yesterday, rebutting them as Fake News. CNN reporter Jim Acosta tried to justify CNN's fake story, by yelling out during the question session and again afterwards. Sean Spicer right after the conference confronted Acosta that he would be removed if he ever rudely interrupted again. Good for Spicer, just like Trump will not put up with any disrespect.
A shame the News Conference started and ended with pointless questions of Russian Hack rumors. Trash TV questions; more focus should have been placed on Trump's First 100 Day Plans as President! Stupid Journalists focused on worthless garbage and not real news.
CNN should publicly apologize to Michael Cohen for the lies. Though Trump refused to answer CNN Acosta, he answered a question from a CNN Jeremy Diamond, two CNN reporters in the press room!

Due to limited 49 seats at the Press Conference there should only be ONE reporter allowed in the room from each News organization!
Good move by Trump Team Press Secretary Spicer proposing moving to a larger room to bring in an increased variety of News Reporters.

NBC Undercuts CNN's Rationale for Running Fake Trump/Russia News
As we all now know, the salacious and unsubstantiated allegations about Donald Trump and his campaign with respect to Russia have been floating around various news rooms for the better part of a year. Apparently desperate to humiliate Trump by releasing the news that this information is out there, late Tuesday afternoon the leftwing CNN did so, and used as its primary rationale the fact that Trump had been briefed on the matter by senior intelligence officials.
NBC News is now reporting that President-elect Trump was not briefed on these matters:
"President-elect Donald Trump was not told about unverified reports that Russia has compromising information on him during last week's intelligence briefing, according to a senior intelligence official with knowledge of preparations for the briefing. A summary of the unverified reports was prepared as background material for the briefing, but not discussed during the meeting, the official said. According to the senior official, the two-page summary about the unsubstantiated material made available to the briefers was to provide context, should they need it, to draw the distinction for Trump between analyzed intelligence and unvetted "disinformation." The briefers also had available to them unvetted "disinformation" about the Clinton Foundation, although that was not orally shared with Trump.
Ironic that BuzzFeed partially owned by NBC, baiting CNN with the Fake News!

Personally, I feel CNN lost their credibility years ago pushing stupid scandal news and DNC influence to boost their ratings.
CNN instead of informing the public on news, is using news to control the public vote!
I slugged thru the CNN Town Hall Q/A. Though the audience questions were screened ahead of time by CNN, Paul Ryan had great answers. CNN Moderator Jake Tapper when pressing Russian Hack got a great retort from Ryan with concerns (26 minutes into the video) of the
private research by a political opponent on unsubstantiated RUMORS and elevated as an official intelligence report!

DNC staffers wrote questions for CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer
The Democratic National Committee tried to provide CNN anchor Wolf Blizter with questions to ask Donald Trump, the latest WikiLeaks email dump has revealed. Among the batch of 8,263 emails released on Sunday night, one shows that
staff working for the network hosts asked DNC staffers what questions they should put to the Republican candidate. They also asked for advice when it came to an appearance from former candidate, Ted Cruz.

Glenn Greenwald: Democrats hoping intelligence agencies will 'undermine and subvert' Trump presidency
Journalist Glenn Greenwald told Fox News Thursday that there is "obvious open warfare" between the intelligence community and President-elect Donald Trump, with Democrats "openly calling for and cheering for the intervention of the CIA." Greenwald spoke to "Tucker Carlson Tonight" regarding reports that Trump and President Barack Obama had been briefed about unverified allegations that Russian spies had collected compromising personal and financial information about the president-elect. A dossier containing the most salacious allegations was published by BuzzFeed earlier this week.
Greenwald said Democrats and liberals are "hoping ... that this unelected faction in Washington will undermine and subvert and destroy the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s presidency before he’s even inaugurated and I think what you’re seeing is actually quite dangerous." The Intercept writer told Carlson that he believed the Central Intelligence Agency supported Democrat Hillary Clinton during the recent presidentil election because Trump "was a threat to the CIA’s primary institutional priority of regime change in Syria. Greenwald also said that most of the mainstream media is unduly deferential toward the U.S. intelligence community, despite their reputation for skepticism of such institutions.

The Deep State Goes to War With President-Elect, Using Unverified Claims, as Democrats Cheer
"Whenever it comes to national security issues, especially in the post-9/11 era ... you see this incredibly close relationship between the media and the intelligence agencies," he said. "When [the media] serve their agenda, they get scoops, they get secret documents, they get access, and I think a lot of that is what you’re seeing on top of the fact that the media has been aligned against Trump and will side with anybody who wants to subvert him, including the CIA."

On a lighter note, Trump should not take Saturday Night Live Alec Baldwin's impersonation personally. Yes its a bit harsh in the Liberal attacks, but still just Political Comedy poking fun at the current situation.
