DeSantis is far and away better for DOD than Pete Hegseth, but it would be a step down for the governor, and a minefield which could blow up his chances for 2028, if he still has any

 Trump Mulls Replacing Pete Hegseth With Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

Beside all that, Trump is just poaching again. 

Florida still needs Ron DeSantis, especially to appoint the replacement for the already poached Senator Marco Rubio. One bad decision leads to another.

Can't Trump find anyone else? Isn't this just more evidence of how few quality people find serving in this lame duck presidency an attractive prospect?

Ron DeSantis should also think long and hard about having to defend everything Trump for four years, quite apart from defending the United States, if he's still serious about a 2028 run. He ran against Trump in the primaries, after all, for reasons.

I think this story is more of a trial balloon, an advertisement: "Hey out there! Anyone interested in the job? Help! I gotta get rid of Pete! Please step up!"

The US Senate Republican election of John Thune over John Cornyn and Rick Scott to Majority Leader isn't surprising except to MAGAs who can't imagine that Thune beat Trump in South Dakota by 37,785 votes in 2016

 Thune has been dutifully serving Mitch McConnell for years and has the seniority and credibility demanded by his colleagues.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

 

 

Undecided House races are proceeding at a glacial pace, but since yesterday three Republicans have each seen their vote shares contract

Ciscomani in AZ-6 from 49.2 to 49.1

Garcia in CA-27 from 49.6 to 49.1

Steel in CA-45 from 51.3 to 51.1

 

Republicans currently lead in 5 of the 10 undecided races. If they win all those, they'll have 222 in the House.

But of course subtract Stefanik, and you are left with 221 GOP to advance President Trump's agenda in the first 100 days when 218 are needed. 

Again, this was not a Republican "sweep", "a great realignment", a MAGA movement revolution, or any of the rubbish we're hearing from the cheering section.

This is just more of the same on the House side, where the GOP majority is 220.

MAGA doesn't care

 

Now why would they do that lol?

Assistant Press Secretary Michael Kikukawa shows that The White House is still Cloud MAGA Cuckoo Land

  . . . with inflation still high, interest rates on goods stubbornly through the roof and the housing market hobbling, Biden’s handling of the economy takes hit after hit in polls. Voters say they felt better off financially under his predecessor — whom he will likely meet again in the 2024 general election — leaving Democrats to suggest it’s time for the Biden campaign to change its game on the matter. ...

"We’re working every day to show the American people what President Biden and Congressional Democrats have delivered by lowering prescription drug prices, creating manufacturing jobs, and rebuilding our roads and bridges,” said Michael Kikukawa, assistant White House press secretary.

“That’s Bidenomics, and recent elections have shown that Americans prefer it to trickle-down MAGAnomics. We will continue reaching out to the portion of Americans who are not yet aware of those incredibly popular accomplishments,” he said.

Forget the MAGA hats, are we sure the Covington Catholic teens weren't wearing Canada Goose jackets?

NYT Publishes Puff Piece On Hate Group That Harassed Covington Boys For Over An Hour:

A small group of Black Hebrew Israelites harassed and verbally assaulted a larger group of Catholic students at the March for Life in Washington, D.C. last Friday, slinging racial epithets at both the students and a nearby group of Native Americans for nearly two hours. The media’s coverage of the Black Hebrew Israelites group, however, has all but ignored its role in the confrontation that occurred over the weekend.

Evidently they also believe the answer to everything is "42"
