pick: report

Original Article

President-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth, his controversial pick to lead the Pentagon, with one-time 2024 rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, people familiar with the discussions told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday. The move comes as Hegseth, a 44-year-old Army veteran and former Fox News personality, faces increasing scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement. The defense secretary post requires Senate confirmation and Hegseth faces an increasingly uphill battle to win over GOP members with concerns about his past.

Hegseth must have a gap in his brain, not to have advised the Trump team that he had a slew of woman issues. Politics is a nasty business. Apparently, 6 Rino's are going to determine Trump's nominees, and I wouldn't hold my breath on that, as the team will not be in place before the end of 2025. We have elected Republicans over and over, and they have stabbed us in the back every time.

If Trump changes horses on this nominee, I don't think the MAGA Troops will be very happy.

I have nothing against Hegseth but would feel comfortable knowing DeSantis was SecDef. Our military leadership has gone adrift and needs the attention and direction by strong, competent leadership. This pre-transition drama, regarding the incoming president's nominations to lead various departments and agencies within the federal government, is not as damaging to an administration hoping to hit the ground running, as post-transition drama.

DeSantis is certainly a capable administrator, but why would he want to leave his chief executive job in Florida? Also, DeSantis had six years as a Navy lawyer. Hegseth did fourteen years in the Army including two combat tours and wrote a book on what's wring with our military. He would get my vote, but President Trump will decide, and whomever he decides should get EVERY Republican vote in the Senate. I would hate to see qualified candidates shot down by the relentless media smear machine and spineless RINOs in the Senate.

If allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement disqualified one from government service who would be left? He's a warrior with combat experience. Please leave Ron deSantis alone. He's the best governor in the USA.

Good idea. This is Ron's second term as governor and he will be ineligible to run in 2026.

Trump, of all people, should know the lies that can be told about someone. The fact that the media is putting a full court press on Hegseth, tells me that he is the one they are most worried about. I expect the same treatment is coming for Kash Patel.

The same old hags and their fellow male hags in the Senate - mucking things up as usual. What is with them that every R nominee has to be as pure as fresh snow but for Dems - whatever the Dem President wants, he gets. I am curious about the vetting process this time, especially in light of the nominee for DEA who withdrew. I wonder if Pam Bondi recommended him.... I think DeSantis would do well as SECDEF, but Florida would miss him and I don't now if he (and wife and family) wnat the job. He has three young children.

Allegations, not facts! Anyone can say anything and the press will run with the allegations of whatever by some mystery person at some unknown place and time. Just made up BS with no facts by the opposition to take down someone the fear and oppose.

Waving the white flag this soon is unsettling to me as it is not Trump-like. Please let this nomination go to a vote so we can identify the real Republican Senators--that would support a Republican President, from the sewer rat RINO's immediately. Then find out if our "Republican" senate leader does anything to punish them (i.e.: Remove from committees) because they resist being team members. There are a lot of great TEAM BUILDING facilitators out there. The US Senate Republicans need to spend a weekend with them to learn about the value of teamwork, and how it is essential for group success. Say what you will about the democrats, but you have to admire them for sticking together to maximize the democrat initiatives. Also, President Trump needs to get involved in the primary election when US Senate seats are on the ballot in Maine, Alaska and perhaps some states yet to be identified.

This appears to be a trial balloon of the lead variety. Pete Hegseth is a good and honorable man who has been subjected to a vicious whisper campaign of a thousand cuts from the legacy media. Trump, who knows a thing or two about witch hunts, realizes the hysterical opposition from the Pentagon, the military industrial complex and sundry Swamp critters comes from abject fear that the corrupt gravy train and pervert freak show will be derailed by Hegseth to be replaced by a warrior culture. The DeSantis gambit is a non-starter, as Trump wants him right where he is in Florida. Hegseth will be confirmed — the usual senate RINO suspects will be smacked up side the head with the bully pulpit and Elon Musk's threat of financing opposition primaries.

Gov. Ron DeSantis, arguably the most successful governor in the United States, still has two years to go in his second term. I (who voted for him both times) would prefer that he stay where he is. He's only 45, and has plenty of time for other things after he has served his two terms in Tallahassee. He shouldn't cut his term short.

I agree with # 9 that comment #1 displays the very kind of blind acceptance of liberal "reporting" and denial of the presumption of innocence which is a bedrock fooundation of our Rule of Law. It is also the process which is leading these RINOs to decide without proper evidence that this woman ("slew of women?") is to be believed without giving Hegseth the opportunity to be heard, another bedrock principle of our legal system. It is the same kind of spineless mindset which caused the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz-- no favorite of mine for sure but as an Amerian citizen he was entitled to be treated much more fairly--based on reports of an account by two "witnesses" of, to put it mildly, questionable veracity which caused him to be presumed guilty until proven innocent, exactly the reverse of the way it is supposed to apply. The media is one of the most dangerous forces in America today and spineless RINOs are right up there with them. By the way, in what world are Murkowski and Collins actually Republicans?

My guess is that Sens. Collins and Murkowski have drawn a line in the sand. They will not confirm womanizing politicians. Not because they're bad for the nation necessarily, but because they are a huge waste of time. The opposition will create a whisper campaign, which will create innuendo that will be leaked to the press, and then come the hearings, and impeachment buzz. President Trump's fix-it list is long, and his new administration has to hit the ground running on January 20th because there's so much work to be done. Pres. Trump doesn't have the time.

While I appreciate Hegseth's service to our country and his defense and advocacy on behalf of veterans, I was initially shocked at his nomination. I told my husband, he is a totally hound dog when it comes to women...so I'm not sure why he didn't get a closer vetting. Years ago, I was interested in his background after seeing some segment he did on Fox. I googled him and was SHOCKED to learn the sordid details of his personal history. I don't know about alcohol abuse, but at one point in time, he had a very hard time keep his pants on. I hope he is a changed man, but there's a lot there to be concerned about. If he makes it through, I'll support him 100% but hard to believe there are not better choices out there...DeSantis and Elbridge Colby comes to mind.

The biggest reason why 'Horny' Hegseth was a TERRIBLE PICK as one who would NEVER work out was the fact that he was A) Enlisted and B) National Guard. Those 4-Stars will be lighting fires under his chair every chance they get and making it look like he himself set them when the news cameras came around. Why isn't General Flynn not being floated by Trump for ANYTHING?

Both Hegseth and DeSantis are more than well qualified to do this job. That's why the democrats are complaining as usual. Keep fighting Hegseth, and I hope DeSantis finishes his term as governor. There will be good things in his future in 2028. Maybe a Vance DeSantis, or DeSantis Vance run as president, vice-president?

Pete Hegseth is the President's first choice and with good reason. We need someone to head the Department of Defense who has the courage and integrity to make our men and women in the armed services proud to be serving our country. Maybe we won't have such a problem with recruitment when he is in charge. He knows what has to be done. He is a soldier, besides being a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, and a wonderful father.

An active member of the Army’s elite Special Forces shot himself in the head just before the explosion at the Trump Las Vegas hotel — but the FBI and local cops still do not know why he did it, authorities revealed on Thursday. Matthew Livelsberger, 37, was found inside the vehicle with a “self-inflicted gunshot wound” to the head, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters. McMahill added that a high-powered .50-caliber Desert Eagle handgun was found at Livelsberger’s. His body was so badly burned, it was unrecognizable, authorities said.

DOVER, Del.—It was her last day in session as a Delaware state senator, and Sarah McBride sat in her tiny office at the state Capitol, preparing farewell remarks. She had made history here, as the first openly transgender state senator in the country. Now she was making history again, recently elected as the first openly transgender member of Congress. Her political promotion has come during a reckoning for transgender rights, when legislation in Republican-governed states around the country aims to curb their advance. During an election where a deluge of campaign ads and politicians demeaned trans people, McBride still easily won her blue state’s only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Joe Biden is preparing to permanently ban new offshore oil and gas development in key U.S. coastal waters, which will be “difficult to revoke protections for sensitive marine areas.” This last-ditch effort to block President-elect Donald Trump’s energy agenda is expected to be enshrined in an executive order, marking yet another chapter in Biden’s war on American energy. Sources familiar with the plan have revealed that Biden’s order will leverage a 72-year-old law—the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act—to solidify protections that are notoriously difficult to reverse, Bloomberg reported.

With the Biden presidency weeks away from its conclusion, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will be out of a job soon, and a panel of media luminaries gave the Daily Caller their idea of what she might do next. The consensus seemed to be that KJP, despite being considered by many to have performed poorly at her White House gig, will likely find safe harbor as a contributor on a cable news program, just like her predecessor Jen Psaki.

NEW ORLEANS - Authorities held a press conference Thursday morning (Jan. 2), providing updates on the Bourbon Street terror attack that claimed the lives of 14 victims and injured 35 others early New Year’s Day.

Emboldened by correctly predicting Kamala would get the debate questions in advance (oh, I apologize, ABC, it was just the topics, not the questions, so it’s all good and you smell like a rose), I’m going to go way out on a limb with another prediction: Joe Biden will issue mass pardons to the J6 inmates. Before you say I’m crazy, here are numerous reasons why he might do it: It steals Donald Trump’s thunder of doing it himself five minutes after the inauguration Many J6 inmates are getting out anyway in a few weeks The J6 insurrection narrative is going to collapse as the evidence comes out

Is she drunk? Heavily medicated? Fresh off of a hip transplant, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi posted a bizarre video to X on Thursday claiming she was on her way to DC to represent her constituents and share “San Francisco values.” San Francisco values = Needles in the street, homelessness and rampant retail theft. 84-year-old Pelosi could barely open her eyes as she heavily slurred her words.“Hi, it’s Nancy. I’m on my way to Washington to proudly represent the people of San Francisco in Congress. I’m honored to do so to share our San Francisco values,”

(Photos) The younger Jabbar told the newspaper that what his brother “did does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”

Spafford, who reportedly used images of Joe Biden for target practice, is being labeled by federal agents as an “extreme danger to the community.” During a search of Spafford’s 20-acre property, authorities found over 150 homemade explosive devices, including pipe bombs labeled as “lethal.”
