What is net worth of Trump's Cabinet?
The staggering wealth of his nominees revealed

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 12/1/2024 6:12:49 AM

Donald Trump is on course to assemble the richest cabinet in American history, with a number of billionaires sending its total net worth soaring over $9 billion - not even including Elon Musk. While Musk will serve in an unofficial capacity focused on slashing government waste and therefore will not need Senate approval, those that will are set to break records. The previous mark was unsurprisingly set by Trump in 2016 when his first cabinet boasted a combined net worth of $6 billion.

If putting highly intelligent and wealthy entrepeneurs in the Cabinet is bad, would doing the opposite be good? If so, by all means go pick a few dozen homeless drug addicts out of a gutter in Portland. I'm sure they'll make the best decisions.

I remember back when Trump was part of a gaggle of men who were thinking about running for President, and I wrote on Lucianne that "what we need is someone who can't be bought", and I did not know enough about Donald Trump then to reaiize I was talking about him. Look how our national debt is so high because our budget if full of totally useless things that lobbyists push only to benefit their own clients; look how so much of our manufacturing has been shipped over to China, leaving our heartland full of unemployed people and decaying towns and cities; look how there are again so many people who want war more than they want peace because they choose to benefit the military/industrial complex that makes big bucks with war machines. Way too many people in our government can be, and are bought off, and you can see and feel the decline in our nation because of their greed. We already have way too many people in our government who are bought. We need more men who love our country and can't be bought.

What little was left of Joe Biden's legacy is in tatters. Having promised the American people repeatedly, and for months, that he wouldn't do it – well, on Sunday night, President Biden announced that he had pardoned his son Hunter, for crimes committed as well as any future charges. Future charges! Well, well, well.Hunter, we know, earned millions sitting on boards he wasn't qualified for, introduced shady businessmen to his father, frequented sex workers, and pled guilty to lying about his active drug addiction when purchasing a firearm, as well as tax evasion — owing the IRS $1.4 million, yet spending millions more on drugs, hookers, five-star hotels and a sex-club membership.

On this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement..." Yep, on today's episode of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," our favorite cartoon, co-host Joe Scarborough and his equally fun co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, refused to cover President Joe Biden's sweeping pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, as either of the show's top two stories.The dynamic duo, along with their guests, instead chose to first whine about President-elect Donald Trump's nominations of Kash Patel as incoming FBI Director and Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. Then, 52 minutes into the show, Scarborough finally "reported" on the pardon, offering zero commentary as the panel discussed the beyond-controversial decision by the lame-duck president.

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly claimed Monday that President Biden pardoned his son Hunter because “war politics” prompted Hunter’s prosecution on gun and tax fraud charges — while insisting the Justice Department is not broadly politically biased, as President-elect Donald Trump claims. Jean-Pierre fielded fiery questions aboard Air Force One from journalists as Biden, 82, flew to Angola for an official visit following the Sunday night pardon. “The president took an action because of how politically infected these cases were,” Jean-Pierre told incredulous members of the press pool.

It not only covers the crimes for which he was convicted or to which he pled guilty, but it also covers any other possible crimes that may have occurred over 11 years from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. Turley just eviscerated Biden when he was asked about it by Fox News and the "bad precedent" that Biden could be setting.

The Deep State is panicking over the news this weekend that President Trump has officially nominated Kash Patel for the role of FBI Director in his next Administration. Patel boasts an impressive resume. But what worries Deep Staters, Democrats, the media, and RINOs is Kash’s commitment to transparency and protecting the rights of regular Americans. During an appearance on Meet the Press, Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) schooled the host on why Kash Patel is perfect for reforming the FBI. Hagerty told NBC’s Kristen Welker, “I’ve encouraged President Trump to bring Kash Patel to the table for precisely this reason.

Critics of Joe Biden's shock pardon of his son Hunter have noted a key detail that connects the reprieve to the younger Biden's time on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma. The bombshell U-turn decision to grant Hunter a pardon comes just weeks after The White House denied the president would make the drastic move in the final months of his lame duck presidency. The document grants a full and unconditional pardon for Hunter's potential crimes committed 'from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.' his has led many to theorize that there is something lurking underneath the pardon which is meant to acquit Hunter Biden

New York—Nearly a month after a devastating election loss that exposed cracks in the very foundation of their party, Democrats remain deeply divided over the extent of their political problem — or even if they have one. A number of Democratic leaders are downplaying the strength of Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris as the inevitable result of an inflation-fueled anti-incumbent backlash that shaped elections worldwide. But others are convinced that the Democratic Party is facing an acute crisis that requires an urgent overhaul of its brand, message and economic policies.

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter despite the White House saying over and over he would not do it. The pardon includes charges Hunter faced or might have faced from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024. Yes, ten years. Absolute insanity. That means anything else that pops up in that time period doesn’t count. Hunter cannot face any charges. Hunter pleaded guilty to tax evasion. He was going to face sentencing on December 16 for lying on a federal form by saying he was not using drugs or addicted to drugs when trying to buy a gun.

Another unnamed source said: “George feels duped and vows he’s not going to be anyone’s political water boy anymore.” George Clooney emerged as a major player in the 2024 presidential election cycle when he wrote a New York Times op-ed calling for President Joe Biden to give up his re-election bid following his disastrous debate performance in June.

Both parties were readying themselves for bilateral talks, but that was before President Trump floated one of his famous spontaneous trial balloons. Trump said that he had had a conversation with the Danish prime minister, stating that the U.S. might be interested in purchasing the island of Greenland. He said that the concept came up and he said that he would be interested in the purchase from a strategic point of view. This did not sit well with the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, who has been described

It's not easy being George Clooney these days. The realization has finally hit him that Obama, his best friend forever, used him for a patsy in the recent election. First he had him hold a fundraiser for Joe Biden, where he could clearly see Joe's senilkity, and then he had Clooney write the editorial for the New York Times calling on Democrats to get that guy out of there. Now that the electoral disaster has happened for the Democrats as a result, Obama has left Clooney holding the bag.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is kissing up to President-elect Donald Trump, trying to worm his way into the MAGA sphere and pretend he is enthusiastic for reform. But as a victim of devastating Facebook censorship warned, Zuckerberg is not to be trusted, especially since he has yet to apologize to and restore the data for multiple users whose lives were transformed by online censorship. When Zuckerberg issued a semi-apologetic letter and made a phone call to Trump over the summer, many conservatives, and Donald Trump himself, were delighted. Since then, Facebook censorship — including election-interfering censorship — continued unabated. Like many a careful businessman before him
Birthright Citizenship: The 14th Amendment

America is about to go to war over whether the government has the power to deport entire families of illegal aliens. That question involves “birthright citizenship”—that is, whether a child born in the U.S. to illegal alien parents is automatically a U.S. citizen and, thus, an “anchor baby?” The answer, by any fair reading of the Constitution and history, is “No.” Our nation must have complete control of our borders. No illegal alien should be able to circumvent the laws of our nation. English common law, the basis for U.S. law, did not allow such people, the children of “hostile occupiers,” to become citizens by virtue of birth.

Democrats are looking to the governors of blue states as both a line of defense against the incoming Trump administration and a promising bench for the party in 2028. Governors are seen as leading the charge of Democratic resistance as the GOP gets ready to take control of Congress and the White House next year: California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office promised to “Trump-proof” state laws, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has pledged to be a “warrior” against controversial policies.

We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn’t. So it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people. Thus on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” for Robert Hunter Biden, 54. The pardon Joe vowed he would never give comes just days before Hunter was due to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware in June and California felony tax-
