Trump disrupts Pentagon, DOJ and Intel.

 LET THE GAMES BEGIN

ALL NEED MASSIVE REFORM


The Pentagon now finds that Pete Hegseth, a captain in the Minnesota National guard, is their new boss. It is an interesting nomination for the Secretary of Defense and much will depend on the staff that can be put together to function in this new role. Some believe the pentagon is top heavy with high ranking officers. It is noted that in WW2 with over 11 million members of the armed forces, fighting on several continents, had 7 Four star officers. Today with only 2 million the U.S. has 44 four star officers, most go on to work in the defense industry after retirement.

We will see how this nomination goes over, we can expect Trump has a backup if this one doesn't make it. The defense department does need a thorough audit and examination as to where does all the money go.

Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general will without doubt make a lot of sparks fly. Gaetz is very bright and articulate, but can be a little abrasive at times. Maybe that is just what is needed for a department that seems to believe it needs to pick winners and losers and has seemed to be motivated by partisan politics.  The idea may be that many will resign rather than work for Gaetz. It will be very interesting.

Tulsi Gabbard's nomination, as director of National Intelligence, puts her in charge of all those infamous three letter agencies.  A firm believer in constitutional rights and transparency, it will be a hard nut to crack with these guys, who believe they know what's best for the world. After their insistence on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and their 51 former brass that signed a letter swearing that all the dirt on Hunter Biden was Russian disinformation was the ultimate piece of real disinformation.  Tulsi is contemplative and has good judgment, does not seem prone to hasty actions, maybe a good place for her. Lets see how these guys behave. 

The top position in these jobs needs to set the tone and objectives, they do not need to know every detail of its workings, but they need to find the right people who understand these agencies and implement the objectives of the director and the president.

So far these may be the most controversial, but of course, there is more to come.
