Sorry for the radio silence. I was traveling the first half of the week seeing Mother Broadside and got back Wednesday evening.
We’re heading into the weekend and the Thanksgiving holiday week and I wanted to welcome those of you who recently joined us here at The Broadside. Howdy!
So, the big news is that Matt Gaetz withdrew himself from consideration for the role of AG in the Trump administration yesterday. He was a controversial pick because he’s a firebrand who led the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and had been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of engaging in sex with a minor. No charges were brought but his reputation was smeared nonetheless.
Within a couple of hours of Gaetz’s withdrawal, Trump nominated former Florida AG Pam Bondi (it’s almost like it was planned!).
“Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families,” Trump wrote in his announcement. “Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country. She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term — We saved many lives!
MSNBC melts down over the pick because she’s … “competent”?
The Left thinks she’s going to do a better job than what they would’ve gotten with Gaetz—and they’re freaking out about it. Think about that.
They admit she’s competent, dangerous and effective and they should “fear” her. You know why? Because they’re not going to be able to get away with the garbage they’ve gotten away with for the last four years (and probably the last 12). She’s a hawk on immigration which means she’s not going to sue her own administration for rounding up and expelling the millions of third-world peasants and single military-aged men whom the Biden-Harris administration invited in.
By the way, speaking of open borders, guess who’s begging for protection from the Trump administration?
Why would Mayorkas, the head of DHS, need immunity from prosecution? Did he do something wrong? What’s he admitting to?
My response is “Hell, no!” He should get no promise of immunity. And when Trump is sworn in, he should put together a special prosecutor to go after Mayorkas and Harris and anyone else who effectively erased our southern border and allowed hordes of foreign invaders to illegally enter and stay in our country while robbing taxpayers to fund their presence.
Traitors, all.
Have a good weekend.
