Trump’s Cabinet Picks Set for Hearings- January 14 to 21, 2025. The three that seem questionable are Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem and Sean Duffy and we are not thrilled with Billy Long to head the IRS (auctioneer and former congressman from Missouri who pushes ERTC which has been flagged by the IRS for its high rate of fraud, He has no accounting or tax law degrees).Learn more
January 14- Today- Pete Hegseth for Department of Defense. A Weekend host on Fox News, he is an aldoholic and says he will quit if confirmed. Right…. We think there are better choices.
January 15- Kristi Noem for Homeland Security…her claim to fame is she is Gov of South Dakota with a population of under one million. And she is supposed to head the immigration deportations. Right…
January 15- Pam Bondi for Justice. Former Florida attorney general. Chosen to bend Justice Dept to Trump’s will.
January 15- Sean Duffy for Transportation Dept. Great- another co-host on Fox. Former Wisconsin congressman.
January 15- John Ratcliffe, CIA
January 15- Marco Rubio for State Department
January 15 – Russell Vought- Office of Management and the Budget
January 16- Doug Burgum for Interior Department- from North Dakota (want to go into government- live in the Dakotas) . Former governor.
January 16- Scott Turner- Housing and Urban Development
January 16- Lee Zeldin- Environmental Protection Agency-
January 16- Scott Bessent- for Treasury Dept. Interestingly, he is the first LGBTQ Senate to be confirmed cabinet member and a billionaire money manager.
January 21- Doug Collins- Dept of Veterans Affairs. Seems good. Georgia congressman, Baptist minister, former US Navy Chaplain and Air Force Reserve colonel.
