Protestors already doing their thing. That didn't take long.

The most unforgivable crime on the planet is a Democrat leaving the Plantation.  Just look at how they treat Trump.

Of the entire group of nominees, they hate Kennedy and Gabbard the most.

@BreitbartNews
BREAKING:
@robertkennedyjr
 says the Trump admin will not promote abortion and will protect citizens' conscience objections to performing or funding it:

"I agree with President Trump that every abortion is a tragedy. I agree with him that we cannot be a moral nation if we have 1.2 million abortions a year. I agree with him that the states should control abortion.

President Trump has told me that he wants to end late-term abortions, and he wants to protect conscience exceptions, and that he wants to end federal funding for abortions here or abroad. That's Title X. I serve at the pleasure of the President. I'm gonna implement his policies."

Wow!  Just wow!  Suck on that, Dems.

“Frankly, you frighten people,” Whitehouse said during Kennedy’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday.

Whitehouse’s comments came after he said that there was a measles outbreak in Rhode Island for the first time since 2013, amid a broader discussion about Kennedy’s stance on vaccines.

There was a measles outbreak in my Virginia town back in the late 70s.  The disease only hit people who received measles vaccines in 1965 or earlier.

Warner: “Will you commit not to fire anyone in the health arena who works on protecting Americans?”

Senator Warner, will you commit to not spend money you don't have?

I CAN'T BELIEVE A SENATOR JUST SAID THIS!

"Mr. Kennedy, I only have 5 minutes with you... so you're just gonna have to listen."

I would have said, "Good.  I'm gonna go stretch my legs then.  Be back in five."

RFK is stacking bodies today.

No holds barred.

This is a war.

Oh, the horror!  A Department of Health actually committed to people's health.  No wonder why Dems hate him so much.

: "These Democrats used to be my friends. They agreed with me on all the environmental issues that I've been working on for my whole career. Now they're against me because anything that President Trump does, any decision he makes, has to be lampooned, derided, discredited, marginalized, vilified."

Spot on!

Elizabeth Warren took $882,925 in campaign contributions from people in the health industry.

She took boatloads more from colleges and universities where she steered HHS research dollars.

Sen. Masto (D-NV) - "You keep citing the Trump administration, and you're just going to follow what they say.  Is that what you're doing; you're just a rubber stamp for them in this position?"


For the record, Sen. Masto has been a rubber stamp for Chuck Schumer her entire Senate career.

Look at how the Democrats treat someone who was a member of their party his entire life and then disagreed on one issue

Take a good look

Back in the day, Democrats would send out the dogs to hunt down anyone trying to escape the Plantation.  And when caught, they would use a rope to string him up from the nearest tree.  Today, lynchings don't look so good on camera, so they do this instead.

"We will make sure our tax dollars support healthy foods. We will scrutinize the chemical additives in our food supply."

"We will remove financial conflicts of interest from our agencies. We will create an honest, unbiased, gold standard science at HHS, accountable to the president, to Congress, and to the American people."

"We will reverse the chronic disease epidemic and put the nation back on the road to good health."

And this, boys and girls, is what every Democrat Senator will be voting against.

Dozens of former FBI agents rally around Kash Patel's confirmation: 'Lives have been shattered'
Kash Patel's nomination hearing will be held on Thursday
By Andrew Mark Miller Fox News
Published January 29, 2025 3:43pm EST

FIRST ON FOX: A nationwide group of former Federal Bureau of Investigation agents has sent a letter to Senate leadership in support of Trump FBI Director nominee Kash Patel making the case that the bureau is "broken" and in desperate need of a new direction.

"As a group of retired FBI Special Agents and former Intelligence Analysts from across the country dedicated to restoring public trust in the FBI and returning the FBI to its original mission, we support President Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel as the FBI’s next Director," the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, signed by over 50 former and retired FBI agents from Reform The Bureau said.

The letter was sent to Republican Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Dick Durbin, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

"Many Americans have lost faith in the FBI, and for good reason," the letter explains. "The FBI is broken. And with this loss of trust has come a rise in threats at home and abroad. Drug cartels and Mexican gangs have taken control of the border and have infiltrated cities across the country bringing violent crime and drugs with them. At the same time, China has grown more brazen, engaging in espionage that robs U.S. businesses of their intellectual property and undermines our national security."

Lee Zeldin confirmed to lead Trump's Environmental Protection Agency

The Senate voted on Wednesday to confirm former Rep. Lee Zeldin  to head the government's leading agency on environmental rules and regulations. The vote went largely along party lines, with only three Democrats voting in favor of Zeldin. The final tally was 56-42.

President Donald Trump tapped Zeldin, who previously served as a congressman from New York's 1st Congressional District from 2015 to 2023, to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under his administration. During his tenure in Congress, Zeldin, an Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, launched a campaign for governor in New York, but ultimately lost to incumbent Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul.

Zeldin will head the agency that surveys environmental issues, provides assistance to wide-ranging environmental projects, and establishes rules that align with the administration's views on environmental protection and climate change.

Hirono asks Loeffler if she's ever been accused of sexual assault: 'No, senator'....again

Sen. Mazie Hirono asked Kelly Loeffler if she's ever been accused of sexual assault.

"I asked the following two initial questions of all nominees who come before any of my committees. So I'll ask you, since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?" the Hawaii Democrat asked.

"No, senator," Loeffler responded.

"Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement relating to this kind of conduct?" Hirono asked.

"No, senator."

Senator Whitehouse Demands RFK Jr Support: “Forced Mandatory Vaccinations” or No Confirmation Support
January 29, 2025 | Sundance

If this is indeed representative of half the country, then we are dealing with half the country having a severe mental illness.

Sheldon Whitehouse tells RFK Jr during his confirmation hearing today that support for forced, mandatory vaccinations is required as the baseline for supporting his nomination to HHS Secretary.   The moment comes at 00:50 of Whitehouse reading his script.  The intensity and vitriol behind the statement is a testimony to the scale of money from Big Pharma to these senators.  WATCH:
