Kash sworn in.  Yippee.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

If Gerry Nadler asked Schumer to pull his finger it would clear the Senate and trigger a level 3 Hazmat response.

Top notch.

That Patel is getting such vitriol from the left tells me all I need to know. They fear him. They really fear him. That is so gratifying.

He and about everyone Trump nominated appear to be true patriots of this country, people who will defend the country and constitution at their own personal risk.

It is so gratifying to see.

Trump Nominee Confirmed Despite GOP Efforts To Derail Pick

NEW: Trump Nominee Confirmed Despite GOP Efforts To Derail Pick

Published 36 seconds ago

on April 8, 2025

By Chris Powell

On Tuesday, the Senate confirmed Elbridge Colby as Under Secretary of Defense, handing President Donald Trump a key win even as several GOP senators attempted to derail the nomination. Colby, a hawkish defense strategist and co-founder of The Marathon Initiative, was confirmed in a 54-45 vote.

The position ranks third at the Pentagon and places him in charge of briefing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on matters of defense policy. Despite being a Trump-aligned pick, Colby’s nomination drew pushback from some Republicans who argued his past foreign policy views clashed with the new administration’s strategic goals.

However, a bloc of moderate Republicans and Democrats ultimately pushed the confirmation through. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) broke from his usual pro-defense stance by voting against Colby, despite being one of Washington’s most vocal supporters of U.S. military strength and global alliances like NATO.

“Abandoning Ukraine and Europe and downplaying the Middle East to prioritize the Indo-Pacific is not a clever geopolitical chess move. It is geo-strategic self-harm that emboldens our adversaries and drives wedges between America and our allies for them to exploit,” McConnell said in a statement.
