NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump signaled a sharp rightward shift in U.S. national security policy Friday, naming Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general, Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo to head the CIA and former military intelligence chief Michael Flynn as his national security adviser.

Remember the Associate Press articles in 2008 complaining that Obama was shifting US policy sharply to the left?

Me neither.

We’ll see, we’ll see. But, this will be massive shoes to fill to be another Ronald Reagan. In my book, Reagan is the best the Republic has had since George Washington, Jefferson, Madison, the Adams, etc.

“Thank you very much for that bulletin!”

You’re welcome. President-elect Trump Tweeted out the link to that very page so I knew it had to be legit. I started to post a new thread, but I couldn’t really tell if the link had been posted elsewhere among the mass of confusion earlier today, so I posted it here. :)

Can’t wait for the Pentagon to be shaken from top to bottom to get rid of everyone in the chain of command who was complicit in the social engineering that Obama’s regime used to gut the effectiveness of the US military. Time to take out the trash.
