Now that Donald Trump has been elected the 45th president of the United States, the discussion among the punditry turns to who he may appoint to his cabinet. Should he award those who have been most loyal to him throughout his campaign, then we obviously need to look at former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Gov. Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich and Gen. Michael Flynn, and Dr. Ben Carson, all of whom have stood by Trump's side and have come to his defense time and again throughout the past several months.
The Today Show Twitter account surmised Giuliani will eventually assume the role of attorney general, Gingrich will be secretary of state and Flynn will be secretary of defense...

You are wrong. He’s a bad ass. Love the guy.
Attorney General: Rudy Giuliani (with a mandate to investigate and prosecute every crime committed by Obozo's regime and its lackeys and to force Comey out at FBI and replace him with a clean and capable law enforcement professional);
Secretary of State: John Bolton (with a mandate to destroy the Iranian nuke deal or alternatively destroy Iran AND each and every nuclear weapons facility and a mandate to tear up each and every sovereignty sapping, jobs destroying, "trade deal" NAFTA, Trans Pacific whatever, and multilateral treaties (all of them) binding us to treat attacks on Outer Slobbovia as though they were attacks on Centralia, Kansas.
Secretary of Defense: Retired Marine Corps General and First Division Commander James "Mad Dog" Mattis (with a mandate to cleanse the Pentagon and military of the alternative lifestyle sissies installed and half assed wimps installed by Obozo in top and middle management positions, bring back from retirement the good guys whom Obozo forced out. Delegate to General Mattis the opportunity of choosing the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and its Chairman.
Secretary of Treasury: Peter Schiff; son of Irwin Schiff. Mandate: END Crony capitalism. Restore the real thing.
Secretary of Health and Human Services: A Jack Kemp type until Dr. Carson is free to take over.
Secretary of "Homeland Security:" Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Mandate: The Wall and send the illegals back.
Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Interior: Sarah Palin who has more relevant experience in these areas than anyone else. When Governor Frank Murkowski of Alaska appointed her to its all important Oil and Gas Commission, he apparantly expected her to be just a pretty face and compliant vote for the corrupt oil interests who would acquire oil leases and then "warehouse" them for decades, producing no revenue by severance taxes to keep Alaska from income taxes, sales taxes and continue to provide subsidies to residents by seniority. She was one of three commissioners along with a Democrat and the Republican (hack) state chairman, both of whom were owned by Big Oil. She complained to Murkowski and demanded that he fire the other Republican commissioner. Murkowski refused. She resigned and said: I'll give Alaska Republicans a chance to fire YOU. She became the GOP nominee in the next primary, turned Murkowski into road kill and he finished third in the primary and then was elected governor herself. This woman is a uniquely talented and knowledgeable person who should have every future opportunity to serve our country. Mandate: Merge the two departments as Department of Interior; abolish most functions of Energy, repeal regs wherever possible.
Secretary of Veterans' Affairs: Dr. Ben Carson. Mandate: clean the sewer of inefficiency, see to prompt, efficient, effective medical care for veterans and fire anyone and everyone who gets in the way or tries to. Be ready to move to other related health care operations to continue the cleanup. HHS?
BATF, EPA, OSHA, Labor Department, Commerce Department, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Education Department (this above all!), Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department and every unnecessary Department, Agency Program of the fedgov, abolish them outright. Where is that budget? Where is my red pencil? Systematically exterminate federal regulations wherever possible.
SCOTUS: Professor Steven Calabresi: Northwestern Law School; Professor Lee Liberman, Georgetown Law School; Sometime Law Professor and former Chief Justice of the High Court of American Samoa Grover Joseph St. Pierre Rees IV of Louisiana. These three are not as young as might be ideal and, if, as it should be, age IS a consideration, put Lee Liberman in charge of the search for younger versions of themselves. She was a protege of Antonin Scalia, clerked for him at DC Court of Appeals and SCOTUS and put an end to Anita Hill's attempt to torpedo Clarence Thomas's nomination to SCOTUS. She is tough, brilliant and utterly effective. An even better job for her would to be to review and suggest ALL Judicial nominations and be a legal superstrategist. Give her that job for five consecutive four year POTUS terms with cooperative POTUS and Senate and we will never worry about the judiciary again. Not only that but liberals will mass suicide over the changes in the judiciary. Abortion will be but an evil memory.
FBI Director: Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. He is a black Democrat but be not afraid. He has taken on Black Lives Matter without any apology. He would be the most trusted FBI Director since J. Edgar Hoover.
This has taken too long already. Name an office. I will try to name a nominee.
LOCK HER UP!
| Sheriff David Clarke | FBI Director |
| Michele Bachmann | HHS |
| Rudy Guiliani | DHS |
| Larry Kudlow | Treasury |
| Allen West | Secretary of the Army |
| John Bolton | State |
| Sarah Palin | Interior |
| Ben Carson | NIH |
See #102 as to SCOTUS and other courts.
Allen West - Secretary of Defense.
General Flynn Sec Defense as much as I like West he WAS NOT on the Trump train!!!!
West most definitely was on the Trump train. I followed him on Facebook, and he’s a staunch Trump supporter.
To have a successful foreign policy the main thing Trump Sec. of State has to do is keep those America hating bureaucrats at State counting threads on the janitors mop rather than having anything to do with the countries foreign policy.
Can't. 10 U.S. Code § 113 (a) - "There is a Secretary of Defense, who is the head of the Department of Defense, appointed from civilian life by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. A person may not be appointed as Secretary of Defense within seven years after relief from active duty as a commissioned officer of a regular component of an armed force." Link
Bill Belichick for Press Secretary.
I love Newt, but I am hoping for more of a think tank PHD type for SoS. Newt could serve any of a number of other posts.
Or Kellyanne Conway
Milo for press secretary.
Joe Arpaio for head of Customs and Border Patrol!
I may have the world’s best cabinet pick: Rick Perry for Secretary of Education and Secretary of Commerce. I’d give him one more position too, but I forgot what that would have been (kidding, mostly). He’s the perfect man to head those two departments, transfer the useful functions to another department, and liquidate the rest. Education is too important to be politicized with federal meddling. We’re transferring it entirely to the states, where it belongs.”
I would like Michelle Bachman returned to Washington for an important cabinet post. Much maligned by the RINOs and the leftist press, she voted like a true, blue Constitutionalist.
Ditto my friend, I’m in total agreement with you.
Many news sources are reporting that Williamson Evers is under consideration to be named Donald Trump’s Secretary of Education. Evers was very active in the Libertarian Party in the period 1974-1996. See his wikipedia page. He was a Libertarian nominee for U.S. House in 1980.
