All the wailing and gnashing of teeth, for what? The last Cabinet selection by a president that was not confirmed was in 1989.
In our future, with new leadership, medical research will be laser-focused on autism, obesity, diabetes and the safety of fluoride, food additives and immunizations — instead of frivolous projects. The lawfare removing opposing politicians from ballots or attacking political opponents in court must stop.
The recent largest breach of our intelligence community ever by the Chinese will be thwarted by a competent and intelligent Tulsi Gabbard, along with the leadership of the first women chief of staff and attorney general.
A decorated soldier who served honorably in the military for 20 years and was deployed in two war zones will streamline the Defense Department and eliminate current DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion). In addition, our bloated government will be reduced; 1.2 million illegals that have already been ordered to be deported by a judge will actually be removed; antisemitism will not be tolerated; and biological men will not be competing with women in sports.
The people spoke for sensible changes, not incessant name calling — but most importantly, instead of escalating and never-ending wars, for world peace.
