Mr. Trump’s Whirlwind of Appointments –
“The mainstream media is either stupid or relentlessly beating a dead horse – their Marxist agenda. Reading the Economist and the comments of the Editor-in-chief, it is hard to fathom how ignorant this article really comes off, as do many others criticizing Trump for this flurry of appointments. I have said that The DEEP STATE is trembling because Trump now knows their game. Last time, they stuffed his cabinet with people like John Bolton and all other Deep State’s Neocons. Bolton wanted to start World War III because an unmanned drone was shot down. He has no regard for human life, regardless of which side we are talking about. War, to him, appears to be more like a football game rooting for one team to vanquish the other.
The entire reason Trump is giving his list of nominees NOW before taking office is to PREVENT the Deep State from stuffing his cabinet again to ensure he cannot drain the swamp. This has NEVER been done before, and this is an excellent strategy.”

Johnny,
It is a puzzle of the present times, that some people in positions of power continue with policies or preferences that have been debunked. Of course, in Australia, the big present example is the defeat of the “Voice” preference to amend our Constitution to grant powers to a minority group, being those claiming to have some aboriginal ancestry.
For reasons that I cannot fathom, many big businesses like Qantas gave public backing to the Yes case drawn up by a few known activists and promoted by most governments. Some prominent lawyers, plus some mega wealthy folk, also went strongly Yes. The people, me included, voted No with a 60% majority, without much No case publicity beforehand. The No voters included many aborigines living in remote communities.
This was a clear case of government/bureaucratic/academic/swamp types being upset by voters mostly without special interest or motivation. The governments, having failed the pub test, then doubled down. There is example after example of this swamp arrogance, such as dictating electric car preferences, backing net zero carbon, backing huge immigration numbers, mandating by coercion a fake “vaccine” and legislating cases of immunity from prosecution and requirements under freedom of information to make special people out of swamp dwellers.
I simply cannot deduce motivation for this anti-social conduct other than greed.
May those offending quickly regain their senses. It is extraordinary. Geoff S

Nomination before inauguration is not unusual but this is delightfully early. I just read that his first term DOE Sec Perry was nominated Dec 17 so Wright is a month ahead of that. It gives nominees time to study and plan.

Wright looks great as DOE Sec:

Unfortunately DOE has little to do with FF production. But they do a lot of alarmist climate research and renewables promotion. Hope that takes a hit.
