The Trump toadies who are convinced that Donald Trump is going to \u201cdrain the swamp\u201d and \u201cmake America great again\u201d during his upcoming second term as president are delusional. He did neither during his first term; and he will do neither during his second term. One need only look at Trump\u2019s appointments at the senior executive leadership level who will direct his administration to know that Trump is nothing more than more of the same\u2014especially in matters relating to foreign policy, which is the one specific area where a president can single-handedly do the most damage.<\/p>\n
I have\u00a0already warned readers<\/a>\u00a0about Trump\u2019s appointments of the uber-Zionist warmongers\u00a0Marco Rubio<\/a>\u00a0as Secretary of State,\u00a0Kristi Noem<\/a>\u00a0as Secretary of Homeland Security,\u00a0Mike Waltz<\/a>\u00a0as National Security Advisor,\u00a0Pete Hegseth<\/a>\u00a0as Secretary of Defense,\u00a0Elise Stefanik<\/a>\u00a0as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. and uber-Christian Zionist Mike Huckabee as U.S. Ambassador to Israel.<\/p>\n Now we can add uber-Zionists Sebastian Gorka and Pam Bondi to this ignoble list. Judge\u00a0Andrew Napolitano<\/a>\u00a0said that \u201cto a man\u201d Trump\u2019s senior executive leadership picks are 60% Jewish and 100% Zionists. Trump is being true to his campaign promise to\u00a0\u201cmake Israel great again.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n The Bondi appointment as America\u2019s attorney general is especially noteworthy. Trump\u2019s first selection for this position was Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz. But after being announced as America\u2019s next attorney general, the Zionist news media and political lobbyists pounced into action. You see, Gaetz is one of the very few members of Congress who is not on the Israel lobby payroll. The result: It only took a matter of days for Gaetz to be forced to withdraw his name from the nomination.<\/p>\n Enter Pam Bondi.<\/p>\n Bondi is a rabid, pro-Zionist zealot. She is also a radical anti-Bill of Rights zealot\u2014especially the First Amendment. Bondi (along with Department of Homeland Security nominee\u00a0Kristi Noem<\/a>) has every intention of stomping out the freedom of speech in the U.S.\u2014especially that speech which denounces the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon and which supports Palestinian statehood.<\/p>\n In\u00a0his interview with Max Blumenthal<\/a>, Judge Nap and Max had this exchange regarding Bondi:<\/p>\n Napolitano:<\/b>\u00a0Aaron {Mat\u00e9} and I have discussed at length the assaults on free speech by the Biden Administration, by members of Congress, like Elise Stefanic, as an example, who’s slated to become Trump’s Ambassador to the UN. I think you’ll agree with me that this is about to get worse.<\/p>\n Here is Pam Bondi, the designated to-be Attorney General of the United States, suggesting that demonstrators on college campuses should be deported at worst or interrogated by FBI agents at best.<\/p>\n Bondi video:<\/b>\u00a0Whether they’re here as Americans or if they’re here on student visas, and they’re out there saying, \u201cI support Hamas,\u201d you and I have seen that on all of these television shows. Frankly, they need to be taken out of our country, or the FBI needs to be interviewing them right away when they’re saying, \u201cI support Hamas,\u201d \u201cI am Hamas.\u201d That’s not saying, \u201cI support all these poor Palestinians who are trapped in Gaza.\u201d That’s not what they’re saying. So, I think their student visas need to be revoked. I think we need to reinstate President Trump’s travel ban immediately. There’s a lot of things that can be done to stop this. The anti-Semitism that is rampant throughout this country now. And it’s truly, truly heartbreaking to see what’s happening to all of our Jewish friends in this country.<\/p>\n Napolitano:<\/b>\u00a0So, this woman who’s about to become the head of the Justice Department, and indirectly the head of the FBI, believes that, the First Amendment notwithstanding, the government can evaluate the content of speech and decide which political speech is worthy of praise, which is worthy of interrogation, and which is worthy of kicking people out of the country. Worse than anything Joe Biden’s DOJ ever imagined.<\/p>\n Blumenthal:<\/b>\u00a0Well, the Biden DOJ has helped set the stage for this. But let’s look at how Pam Bondi came into the position as Trump’s Attorney General nominee.<\/p>\n It was the downfall of Matt Gaetz, one of the few members of Congress who has not taken Israel Lobby money, who actually voted against one of the major aid supplementals to Israel, along with other members of the Freedom Caucus, mainly because it also was linked to Ukraine aid. But he did it. Matt Gaetz went down mainly because of this bizarre background he has and this saga that involved apparently sexual blackmail.<\/p>\n And Pam Bondi comes in. She’s welcomed by CNN. It appears Senate Democrats will let her slide through. She’s been a longtime corporate lobbyist for GM, Amazon, Uber and even Gulf monarchies. She’s a corporate tool, and so that’s why she’ll sail through.<\/p>\n But also, in the last hours of Matt Gaetz as AG nominee, the American Jewish Committee and Anti-Defamation League condemned him as an antisemite. And Pam Bondi appears; someone with a very clear record working under Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who said he’ll be the most pro-Israel governor in America, of shilling for Israel and advancing Israel’s objectives politically and legally inside the United States on behalf of Tel Aviv, crushing the First Amendment and the rights of students and other Americans to organize against this genocide.<\/p>\n And what I think we’re going to see happen, and this is an agenda that’s been spelled out in the Heritage Foundation’s\u00a0Project Esther<\/i><\/a>,<\/i>\u00a0which was actually largely written by Christian Right activists, Christian Zionists, is to seek terrorism designations for groups like Students for Justice in Palestine, American Muslims for Palestine, the groups leading the demonstrations in the streets, and then to begin to actually prosecute them and de-bank their activists going to places like PayPal, Venmo and ordering them basically to block transactions of anyone who’s leading Palestine solidarity activity. I mean this is all spelled out. And Bondi seems to be the perfect person to advance this authoritarian, anti-freedom, unamerican agenda on behalf of Netanyahu and the Israeli apartheid regime.<\/p>\n Napolitano:<\/b>\u00a0Is there anybody in Trump’s cabinet that’s not an ardent Zionist?<\/p>\n Blumenthal:<\/b>\u00a0I mean yeah; it’s MIGA; it\u2019s make Israel great again.<\/p>\n And I would like to ask Ms. Bondi what exactly is \u201ctruly, truly heartbreaking what’s happening to all of our Jewish friends in this country\u201d? Are Jews in America being starved to death with blockades that deny them food and medicine? Are Jewish hospitals, schools and synagogues in America being bombed to smithereens by the nation\u2019s military? Are Jewish children in America being shot dead in the head by army snipers? Are Jewish homes in America being bulldozed to the ground? Are tens of thousands of innocent Jewish men, women, children and babies being slaughtered like animals because of their race?<\/p>\n Give it up, Ms. Bondi. You are nothing but a Zionist hack, bought and paid for by the Israel lobby. There\u2019s another word I could use to describe you and the rest of the bought-and-paid-for toadies of the Israel lobby in Washington, D.C. But you Zionist sycophants in D.C. are\u00a0worse<\/i><\/b>\u00a0than those whom the word I could use describes; so, I won\u2019t use it.<\/p>\n Let me also remind readers that during Trump\u2019s first four-year term, he appointed more\u00a0CFR\/Bilderbergers<\/a>\u00a0than Barack Obama did during his eight years in office.<\/p>\n In addition, Tim Brown chronicles the massive number of\u00a0billionaires<\/i><\/b>\u00a0that Trump is appointing to his administration.\u00a0Brown reports:<\/a><\/p>\n So far, Trump has announced plans to nominate billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent to head the\u00a0<\/i>Treasury Department<\/i><\/a>, WWE billionaire Linda McMahon to head the\u00a0<\/i>Education Department<\/i><\/a>, billionaire crypto banker Howard Lutnick to head the\u00a0<\/i>Commerce Department<\/i><\/a>, and billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head the\u00a0<\/i>Department of Government Efficiency<\/i><\/a>\u2014an outside advisory commission tasked with\u00a0<\/i>slashing federal spending<\/i><\/a>\u00a0and regulations.<\/i><\/p>\n \u201cThese appointments clearly show the incoming administration will be run by and for the ultra-wealthy,\u201d said David Kass, ATF\u2019s executive director. \u201cThey\u2019ve already announced plans to spend trillions of dollars to renew the Trump tax bill, to further enrich large corporations and wealthy elites like themselves while advocating for cuts to vital programs that working and middle-class Americans depend on.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n ATF\u2019s\u00a0<\/i>analysis<\/i><\/a>, released Monday, shows that the combined wealth of Trump\u2019s richest nominees and transition team members\u2014including the president-elect and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the vice president-elect\u2014is over $313 billion. By comparison, the combined net worth of President Joe Biden\u2019s Cabinet is an estimated $118 million.<\/i><\/p>\n \u201cEven excluding Elon Musk\u2014the world\u2019s richest man and Trump\u2019s co-director of the Department of Government Efficiency\u2014the average net worth of Trump, his vice president, and top appointees is $616 million,\u201d ATF observed.<\/i><\/p>\n Tony Carrk, executive director of Accountable.US, said in a statement Tuesday that \u201cDonald Trump paid plenty of lip service to working-class Americans\u201d during the 2024 campaign, \u201cbut as president-elect, he\u2019s moved quickly to stack his administration with billionaires that share his vision of a rigged economy that only works for people like them.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n \u201cShould the Senate rubber stamp these nominations,\u201d Carrk added, \u201cTrump\u2019s department heads will be among the biggest beneficiaries of another promised tax giveaway for big corporations and the top 1%,\u00a0<\/i>paid for with deep cuts<\/i><\/a>\u00a0for seniors, veterans, and everyday workers.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n Billionaires have already gotten significantly richer since Trump\u2019s election victory, according to\u00a0<\/i>research<\/i><\/a>\u00a0published last week by ATF. In roughly the week after Trump\u2019s win, the combined net worth of the nation\u2019s 815 billionaires jumped by around $280 billion\u2014with Musk\u2019s wealth surge accounting for 20% of that gain.<\/i><\/p>\n Anyone who thinks that a government led by neocons, Zionist warmongers, CFR globalists and billionaires is going to\u00a0make<\/i>\u00a0America great again<\/i>\u00a0is living in a fantasy land.<\/p>\n Donald Trump won a landslide election primarily on the promise to end America\u2019s\u00a0stupid<\/i>\u00a0foreign wars. He promised to end the Ukraine war\u00a0in 24 hours.<\/i>\u00a0But the senior spokesmen for Trump\u2019s new administration are sounding more war hawkish than even Biden\u2019s war hawks.<\/p>\n For example, here is Trump\u2019s pick for the position of Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism\u00a0Sebastian Gorka<\/a>:<\/p>\n I’ll give one tip away that the president has mentioned. He will say to that murderous, former KGB Colonel, that thug who runs the Russian Federation, \u201cYou will negotiate now, or the aid that we have given to Ukraine thus far will look like peanuts.\u201d That’s how he {Trump} will force those gentlemen to come to an arrangement that stops the bloodshed.<\/p>\n That\u2019s quintessential Donald Trump. Bullying. Bellicosity. Belligerence. Browbeating. But it won\u2019t work anymore. Russia is not intimidated by the U.S. Neither is China. And neither is Iran.<\/p>\n
