President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening that John Ratcliffe, a former Texas congressman and director of national intelligence, would return to the executive branch as director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

“From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation, to catching the FBI’s abuse of Civil Liberties at the FISA Court, John Ratcliffe has always been a warrior for Truth and Honesty with the American Public.

When 51 intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, there was one, John Ratcliffe, telling the truth to the American People,” Trump, 78, said in a statement.

I’m happy to see John get this important position. He knows what the deep state did to Trump.

I was hoping Kash Patel was going to be the new CIA Director...Kash wants to declassify everything from JFK assassination to Epstein and P. Diddy names and videos.

Kamala could announce who her selections would have been had she not been wiped out by the Trumpslide, after checking with the Obamas first to see who her picks would have been.

Trump’s one good assignment was to non-politician private enterpriser Musk.

Other than that, Trump keeps picking politicians.

Given his assessment of gov’t results vs. results of private enterprise in his famous book, “The Art of the Deal”, you’d think he would do like Reagan did and pick more private entrepreneurs and successful businessmen.

I’d like to see him on the team as well.

Also, I’m wondering about Kari Lake.

I’m curious about why she hasn’t been offered something, unless there are plans afoot to deal with the cheating in AZ and get her that senate position she got elected to. Since it’s a federal office, I could see the federal government getting involved somehow.

I think he wants to avoid a repeat of the Rex Tillerson debacle.

We need to be praying for the safety of President Trump and J.D. Vance and really ALL that are being appointed right now.

It is apparent the Dems are seeing some HUGE changes and a MAJOR UPHEAVAL .

.. may God keep them under submission!!!

Has anyone else noticed that most of the msm stories always make sure they cite President Trump’s age. They all suck.
