Rubio for Sec. of State. Kick Cuba's a$$ and enact a new Monroe Doctrine.

Grenell would be great in some intel position or Nat Sec. advisor. Not State, I doubt a gay guy would be respected in the Middle East.

I like Lee Zeldin but never thought of him as an EPA type of guy. Maybe he has some expertise there Iโ€™m unaware of. Or maybe heโ€™s just a good manager.

The EPA, and many other agencies, have overstepped their authority and were allowed to do so because Congress abdicated its oversight responsibilities. The result is over regulation and a drag on the economy. It should not take 10 years to bring a new power plant on line.

Hopefully he, and other expected appointees, will reign in these out of control regulators and pare back their size. Do we really need 16,000+ employees in the EPA. Hint: No! Cut their budget in half and tell those left to quit sleeping on the job and do what they are charged to do...and nothing more.

We have gas waiting for us. Hochul and her “no gas allowed” policies are crazy. We’re turning farmland into Solar Farms..and that’s crazy.

I think Trump has an aggressive “Day 1” plan.

I hope he wants all of this appointees to have a “Day 1” plan, and “Week 1” plan, and a “Month 1” plan.

Move fast. Hit hard. Get it done. Don’t give the Democrats or Media (I repeat myself) a chance to realize what just happened.
