Info is coming in fast and furious. Just a few comments here:

Some of these people have been in the spotlight for a long time, others are relatively unknown.

Creating a new department is EXPANSION of government - a bigger government - which is usually *NOT* a good thing. However, in this case, and depending on what is done and how it is done, the Department of Government Efficiency could be very good. We'll have to wait and see. Of course, almost always the government uses a name that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the name. For example: "The Patriot Act" was anything BUT for American patriots; "The Inflation Reduction Act" was anything BUT an inflation reducer. Will the "Dept of Government Efficiency" also be ANTI-efficiency?

Here's a comment from a Trump supporter (Mike Adams), with which I have to agree:

"... every single pick by Trump so far looks to be a Zionist, putting Israel first and America last. Homeland Security is going to be run by Kristi Noem, who wants to criminalize any speech against Israel, and who believes God gave Israel the right to slaughter all other human beings on the planet (and steal their land and resources). These are dangerous, delusional people that Trump is picking. Not looking good so far."

As my final comment here, President-elect Donald J. Trump is considering New York lawyer Robert (Bob) Giuffra, co-chair of Sullivan & Cromwell, for his U.S. Attorney General pick. That absolutely BLEW my mind!!! Giuffra supports DEI and refused to defend Trump against the Mueller travesty. What the hell??? We are left scratching our head. Of course, it's not final so we have to wait.

Mike Adams's statement is nothing but whacko BULLSHIT! I used to like him, but he's gone totally off the deep end. All that Israel hate needs to stop. They are NOT committing "genocide" and are not "slaughtering" other human beings. It was THEIR OWN people who were "slaughtered" by muslims, yet we allow those animals into our country. Israel isn't "slaughtering" anyone. They were heinously attacked, and 1,200 of their citizens were grossly slaughtered. Yet, NOBODY MENTIONS THAT!!! Israel is FIGHTING FOR ITS VERY EXISTENCE. Iran is at the helm of the attacks on Israel, and both Hamas and Hezbollah are backed by Iran. Iran needs to be taken down. I suggest you all do some actual studying of history before you continue to spew this hate. Or else, you're no better than those who did the heinous acts of the holocaust.

And I do agree about ALL of Trump's picks. They are all fishy. I do like Tom Homan, but we'll see if he actually gets the job done. He's been saying they want to target the criminals first for deportations. That will take too long. They ALL need to go. He needs to sweep this nation, round up those rats, and then get them ALL out of here.

I don't follow the 'man' - any man - I follow the *evidence*. My 2 cents:

One important point that I discovered long ago is that there are *two* "Israels'" - one is of men/the world, the other is of God, and is therefore Holy.

Much of what's happening - "Israel MUST be defended at all costs" - is not for the latter "Israel", but for the former. The confusion between the two is being used to justify all manner of atrocities in the name of "Israel". I suggest a deeper dive into this area.

Kudos on your statement about Trump's picks so far.
