Olmert: U.s. Right Wing Derailed Peace

Americans and security experts are shocked that Donald Trump chose Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Trump's Secretary of Defense pick Pete Hegseth is so abusive towards women that his own mother called him out for his horrible behavior. Rolling Stone reported that Penelope Hegseth wrote her son Pete "belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego." But historian Timothy Snyder reminds us that Trump has a plan behind his 'crazy' cabinet picks.

Rep. Claudia (R-NY) Tenney complained because President-elect Donald Trump was "the only world leader" who had not been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Jackie Deangelis pointed out that a cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel was on the table during the final months of Joe Biden's presidency. "There's a new sheriff in town," Tenney said of Trump.

Scott Gottlieb, who led the Food and Drug Administration during Trump's previous term, on Friday warned that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could “cost lives” if confirmed as the next secretary of Health and Human Services. Via the Washington Post: “You’re going to see measles, mumps and rubella vaccination rates go down,” Gottlieb said on CNBC, referencing Kennedy’s longtime criticism of federal recommendations for childhood immunizations, and noting a recent decline in childhood vaccination rates.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy dubbed President-elect Donald Trump's nominees "The Justice League" after Kash Patel was named as incoming FBI director. "Now, this has been rumored, I think, for a week or two," co-host Will Cain announced on Sunday's edition of Fox & Friends Weekend. "And there was already some hyperventilating on the left about this potentiality, because Kash Patel represents another disruptor added to the cabinet." "Rachel, you referred to earlier this week in a conversation with me as shaping up to be The Justice League," he told Campos-Duffy. "It's incredible to see some of the faces up there," Campos-Duffy said of the nominees, which include her husband, Sean Duffy. "And Kash Patel is making so many of the right people nervous and uncomfortable and unhappy that you just got to believe this is the right guy for the job," she added.

There is so much to be angry about right now, including Donald's unqualified ideologues that he's deliberately choosing for nominations to kneecap the very country he professes to love. Still, instead, the anti-woke crowd is mad about a Black woman playing the part of an elegant Mrs. Claus in a British Boots commercial. In the ad, Santa wakes up from a nap and takes off to deliver toys.

Congressman-Elect Eugene Vindman warned Musk he could soon be facing a facing a defamation lawsuit if he continues making threats and spreading lies about his twin brother, retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. Musk recently threatened Vindman with treason charges over Vindman's testimony during Trump's impeachment. Vindman was asked about Musk's threats on Saturday's The Weekend on MSNBC, and Vindman responded that Musk need to "dial back" his defamatory remarks about his brother, or he's going to be the one that ends up "paying." MENENDEZ: Congressman-elect, earlier Michael referenced your brother, Elon Musk accusing him of committing treason, saying he will pay after the former Trump impeachment witness accused the tech billionaire and close Trump ally of being unwittingly used by Russia – a reminder of the focus on retribution by this administration. VINDMAN: Yeah, well, I would say that if anybody's on the cusp of having to pay, it may be Elon Musk, because his comments are really false and defamatory, no basis in fact.
