Agreed. Universally feasting on and widely sharing a classic and inexpensive American meal after a successful harvest is a continuance of an age-old human tradition. Gross and excess materialism at Christmas and otherwise is a whole different matter.

Defense Policy Board

Present administration’s parting shot at scions of the foreign-policy establishment.

The directive, which the Pentagon’s White House liaison Joshua Whitehouse sent on Wednesday afternoon,
removes 11 high-profile advisors
from the Defense Policy Board,
including former Secretaries of State

Adm. (ret.) Gary Roughead, who served as chief of naval operations; and a onetime ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee,
Jane Harman.
Rudy De Leon, a former chief operating officer at the Pentagon once considered by then-Defense Secretary James Mattis for a high-level policy role, will also be ousted.


Also booted in today’s sweep of the board, which is effective immediately, were
former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and
David McCormick, a former Treasury Department undersecretary during the George W. Bush administration.
Both had been added to the board by Mattis in 2017.
Jamie Gorelick, a Clinton administration deputy attorney general;
Robert Joseph, a chief U.S. nuclear negotiator who convinced Libya to give up weapons of mass destruction;
former Bush Deputy National Security Advisor J.D. Crouch II;
and Franklin Miller, a former top defense official, have also been removed.

Anon: There are only 13 active members on Defense Policy Board. So that means…James Talent & Paula Dobriansky are the only two left? Anon: Anthony Tata cleaning house. Nothing to see here.
