This Week in the World Affairs Brief
CONFIRMATION BATTLES BEGIN
Because of Democrats dragging their feet, Trump will have to begin his second term without a cabinet in place. It won’t slow things down much since Trump’s first few days will be filled with a flurry of executive orders trying to undo all the damage and roadblocks the outgoing Biden administration has erected to hamper Trumps reform agenda, as I outlined in last week’s WAB, but it does highlight the uphill battle it will take to get some of these non-insiders into these key positions of government. This week, Pete Hegseth faced the greatest opposition in his quest to become the new Secretary of Defense, and Tulsi Gabbard made a major concession to the Deep State in changing her opposition to the FISA court’s authorization for domestic spying, now claiming she supports FISA-702. This demonstrates the futility of trying to dismantle the Deep State with people chosen because of their loyalty to Trump rather than their understanding of all the ins and outs of how the dark side of government works, including the bad laws that give them cover.
