Capitol Alert: Ca Gov. Jerry Brown Calls 2013 'year Of Fiscal Discipline'

KEVIN FREKING WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s drive to upend the FBI was welcomed by Republican senators although it was not clear on Sunday how strongly members of the incoming majority party would embrace his move to install ally Kash Patel as the next director of the Justice Department’s top investigative arm. Patel, a onetime national security prosecutor who is aligned with the president-elect’s rhetoric about a “deep state,” “must prove to Congress he will reform & restore public trust in FBI,” said Sen.

Sen. Bill Hagesty (R-TN) revealed Sunday that he supports Kash Patel as President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for FBI director because he would dismantle the agency. During an interview on Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker told Hagerty that former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr had called Patel unqualified for a senior role at the FBI. "Senator, how seriously do you take Barr's warnings?" Welker asked. Hagerty, however, deflected by calling President Joe Biden's administration unqualified. "President Trump is entitled to name his appointees," the senator opined.

Many Americans are making it clear that they’re cutting ties with family and friends who voted for President-elect Donald Trump—and don’t count them in for this year’s holiday gatherings either. In the days following Nov. 5, videos on social media, especially TikTok, started flooding in, showing people either devastated, angry, or defiantly speaking out about feeling betrayed by family and friends.

For the past year, Representative Drunken Van Orden (MAGA-WI) was constantly whining about the price of gas, eggs, and butter, even if he had to lie about the prices. But when he was interviewed by CNN's Boris Sanchez, he was singing a whole different tune: During the interview, DVO said that he was just fine with paying more for things if it was because of Orange Felon's bigotry and racism: “And if it means that I have to pay more for guacamole but fentanyl poisoning does not come across the Canadian and Mexican border, and our mothers and sisters and brothers and daughters aren’t poisoned to death by this chemical that’s coming across the borders, I’m willing to pay for guacamole, as is the rest of the United States of America.” I wonder how he'll feel when he finds out that Felon's tariffs will also affect the price of tequila, not to mention all the food that gets imported from Mexico and Canada. But wait!

Geez, does anyone want to buy the scent of dirty diapers before you take your girl out on a hot date? Well, you're in luck! Donald Trump has been hawking many items, including a signed guitar for a mere $11,000; however, he's been slammed with a cease-and-desist letter from famed guitar maker Gibson Guitars. His tacky $299.00 golden sneakers are another item, but now we have a cologne where you can smell like Trump for $99.00. The Guardian reports: For those who want to smell like Trump, it also offers cologne.

Democrats are turning on one another in defeat.
