Confirmation hearings for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming cabinet are scheduled to begin tomorrow, Tuesday, January 14th.
The senatorial snakes will each take up careful positioning. Doug Collins for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Burgum for Secretary of the Interior, and Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense are each scheduled for confirmation hearings in the Senate tomorrow.
With committee passage strongly likely, former Congressman Doug Collins will likely garner more than 60 votes in the full Senate. Former Governor Doug Bergum will also likely glide through the committee review, with around 70 votes likely in the full Senate. However, Pete Hegseth is where the challenge will become first visible.
Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth is viewed as the first potential scalp to be taken in the upper chamber. The first hurdle is getting out of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Chairman Roger Wicker (R-Miss) and Ranking Member Jack Reed (D-RI).
The full slate of Democrat members are likely to oppose Hegseth under the justification of his personal attributes not being of strong enough moral character to lead the military. The women on the committee will face strong pressure to reject Hegseth due to perceived sexism and misconduct. No one knows what the FBI background check has uncovered, but it will likely be shaped during the predictable confrontation.
For Democrats on the committee, dirtying up Hegseth will be job #1. For Republicans, they will need to walk a fine line between supporting the Democrats and yet being visible supporters lest they face the ire of Donald Trump and a fully triggered MAGA army to light up their phones.
Democrat Senators, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Mazie K. Hirono, Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth, Jacky Rosen and Elissa Slotkin, will all play the gender card putting pressure on the two Republican committee women Joni Ernst and Deb Fischer, not to defend Hegseth.
This will be the #1 confirmation hearing to watch tomorrow.
Hegseth’s press coverage since selection indicates the Senate will reject him if for no other reason than to flex their muscle and dig at President Trump.
The Senate RINOS had no problem voting to confirm LLOYD AUSTIN an empty suit that lead the Afghanistan and Ukraine disasters?
This (last) Senate refused to honor legal, Constitutional articles of impeachment against another should-have-never-been-confirmed Mayorkas. And even staunch conservatives barely raised a whimper. Expecting them to the “right thing” anytime soon is hopium.
They really have exhausted any grounds to try to justify a no vote, on the basis of qualificatiins, which has always been one hook they could hang their hat on.
Ditto for the “charachter” of the nominees, after they approve the luggage stealer for Nuclear Waste disposal.
Of coarse the Dem Senators don’t need an excuse, but the R’s only avenue to try to justify a no vote, at least with any credibility, is to reference crap dug up by the FBI, or Blasey-Ford kinda crap.
I really think their strategy is to try to use allegations and innuendos in the press, to ‘force’ PDJT to withdraw their names, and if he doesn’t, the Republicans will be hard pressed to vote no.
However, even if they do, this Senate Confirmation process is only round one.
PDJT has several paths to achieving his goals regarding getting his team in place, and only one involves confirmation.
The IC bureaucracy uses fake investigations and innuendo, floated in the “media”, in order to get a few select Republicans to furrow-their-brows and come up with rejection-cover as an excuse to vote ‘no’ on the threat. This is a game. It’s easy to spot and silly in it’s transparent phoniness.
Take a Roger Wicker, for example. A guy first elected to congress in a conservative district in North East Mississippi as part of the ‘contract with America’ wave. He quickly back-tracked, once elected, on his pledge to support term limits. Now, as a Senator, he’s even more of an empty-suit, parroting talking points from the MIC. (see Netflix series “Kings of Tupelo” to see what an airhead this guy really is – basically a Todd Young, Sr)
REPEAL THE 17’TH
Hegseth’s coverage in the Mockingbird Media is exactly the reason the grassroots must take action. Recommend contacting your Senators … especially if you have a squish (like Cassify, Cornyn, Ernst, McConnell, etc.). Hopefully Elon will still be on our side by the time the next primaries roll around.
I don’t how you could have left off the POSs here in WA. You can bet your last donut Cantwell & Murray will be riding their high horses.
This is when we will find out who is going to be primaried for Senate in 2026.
Sure. See the LONG list below of SUPER-RINOs who have been in the Senate for a LONG time.
Let’s hope and pray the powers to be have already started prepping viable MAGA candidates to replace these old traitorous tree trunks. It’s not like we don’t know all the actors.
God has this. A little prayer that the rotten traitorous D’s have got theirs coming! In a Big PDJT way…and soon. 🙏🏽
And lets look at the very SHORT list of incumbent RINOS that have been successfully primaried, since the Tea Party formed up.
Unless/Until WE, MAGA primary the State Republican Party Officials that control the party (and also have to be elected to their party positions) “Primarying” U.S. Senators is an empty thrrat, and they know it.
any ideas who the alternate nominees are? -for Hegseth
No sign there is one. Plan B might include naming him as “Czar in charge of Defense” and then not naming ANY nominee for Sec. Def., making it clear Hagseth is the unofficial but very much in authority SecDef without the title.
Kinda like getting around the prohibition on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico by renaming it the Gulf of America, lol.
Also, who has PDJT nominated to be#’s 2&3 at defence? They, if confirmed could be moved up,..and see if he has nominated anyone as Ambassador, that could be moved over.
Right now, I think his strategy is to stick with Hagseth, and no visible back up plan is vital.
I like the way you think, Sir !!
yeah even if there are alternates there’s no way any names are getting released yet. assuming that Hegseth will not get through based on all the posturing.
Don’t care.
then why reply?
I-drove-a-truck-in-Iraq Joni Ernst wanted that SecDef job for herself.
I’d be worried if she was my mail carrier…
Thank you! I will be watching.
You have to wonder how our system has lasted almost 250 years with this millstone. There’s a story about George Washington vowing how he’d be damned before he went before the senate again. Makes you think how our system has probably been screwed up since 1789! Also makes you wonder if our founders ever had any regrets…….
White, William S. Citadel: The Story of the U. S. Senate. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1957.
Hegseth has done his part by appearing on the weekend Legacy Media outlets and spoke well for himself. In spite of the barrage of gotcha questioning. Now comes the Deep State cowards with their innuendos and unnamed sources. All with the goal of personal enrichment and destroying Liberty through an IC gobbling steroids.
Unlike Biden’s nominees who hid from media appearances before confirmation to avoid making stupid mistakes that might jeopardize confirmation. (And to keep their own lack of intellect and qualifications from being revealed.)
I read eight or ten blogs covering a variety of topics every day, as I have time. The number of problems the incoming Trump administration is being expected to solve is quite astounding.
Hopium induced.
Laced with Seenital?
And with a side of been there done that…
Trust God.
Fear not.
This is what the press will focus on. They are already harping on it. If even one issue does not get addressed it will be front page news for weeks. No reasonable MAGA person can ever expect all of this to get fixed in 4 years. If even half is completed we would be miles ahead and we all should be very thankful if that happens.
“The full slate of Democrat members are likely to oppose Hegseth under the justification of his personal attributes not being of strong enough moral character to lead the military.”
Well, it can not be denied they are experts in personal attributes being lacking in strong moral character.
Most Republicans always vote for the Democrat nominees but the Democrats never vote for the Republican nominee’s.
You’d think that the RINOS would have figured out the formula by now?
Don’t kid yourselves. There is one, and only one, reason for the oppostion to Hegseth: his Jerusalem Cross tattoo. Such overt display of one’s commitment to Christianity sends some folks into conniptions. All other expressed reasons for oppostion to him are just made-up cover stories to mask the anti-Christian sentiments at work behind it all.
All he has to do is hold up the Carter Funeral pamphlet… that cross was front and center on the cover.
All he has to do is hold up the Carter Funeral pamphlet… that cross was front and center on the cover.
(Had to repeat this reply as I fat-fingered my email address and went straight to the bin LOL!).
You can say that again! 😉
There’s a video of Hegseth speaking in Israel about the potential for a Third Temple.
The Jerusalem Cross is part of the floor ,of the National Cathedral. Right in front of the Canterbury Pulpit.
The corrupt Senators all want to approve people who won’t impede their corruption or may themselves be corrupt, but they only want someone who is corrupt in the right way…….taking
“campaign contributions”bribes, getting free stuff from lobbyists, and buying stock that they know is going to go up in value due to their positions.There was nobody any more compromised than Austin, but it was corruption in the right way. Unless they can get PH to agree to go along to get along or get some dirt on him to prevent any MAGA feelings to break through, he won’t be approved.
It will be a true litmus test –the nominees that sail through versus those that face pushback. No doubt Rubio will sail through like a greased slip and slide. Stefanik too.
Yes, the degreevto which they are, or are not attacked, not only in the hearings but in thevmedia is quite enlightening.
One of the reasons I am not happy with J.D. Vance.
“For Republicans, they will need to walk a fine line between supporting the Democrats and yet being visible supporters lest they face the ire of Donald Trump and a fully triggered MAGA army to light up their phones.”
Yeah, when necessary they’ll provide only enough ‘nay’ votes to assist the Dims in taking down the truly dangerous boat rockers. It will probably be the ones not facing reelection until 2029:

Michael Crapo D 69% ID 23 2025
BTW, I see a LOT of VERY badly rated RINOs in that list who have been in the Senate for a LONG time.
Hmmm, have they never before faced “the ire of Donald Trump and a fully triggered MAGA army to light up their phones”?
Also, there’s always the chance for reformers to be confirmed… as long as they promise behind closed doors that they won’t do any major reforming.
For the umpteenth time Roy Blunt, Mo left the senate January 2023.
Let it go.
Scroll past me on this then Rick.
Mo has some good senators finally.
Still listed in the Liberty Score database as is his 2025 reelection date, but I’ll remove him. That only leaves 26 D and F-rated since my claim of 20 stated previously was a miscount – in other words just over 50% of the Rep Senators are serious RINOs.
Winston, what do you think about The Heritage Action for America lists of scores? MO senators Hawley 96% and Eric Schmitt 92%.
Liberty still has Billy Long HoR…he’s gone too.
Yes, and Mitt Romney is also gone.
So is Shelby, replaced by RINO Katie Britt.
Question: Is the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) part of the RNC?
It is my understanding that the RNC (including the NRSC?) only financially supports incumbents when elections come around. If that is so, then Michael Whatley and Lara Trump need to send out a memo alerting Senators that those with a low score may jeopardize their RNC support for their next election.
Winston Katie Britt replaced Richard Shelby. So far she has given the impression that she is MAGA, but was Shelby’s right hand girl. (Gope)

Re: MANDATE
As a reminder, not 1 of biden’s nominees was rejected in 2021, even Becerra who passed with 50 votes, including 1 from R Susan Collins.
In 4 years we have endured overt incompetence from many of biden’s nominees:
Austin disappeared for 5 days during the proxy war with a nuclear power, Buttigieg disappeared for weeks on maternity leave during a crippling supply-chain shortage, Mayorkas (‘impeached forever’) continues an economic assault on the country with open borders. Heck, even the Commerce Secretary (Raimondo) didn’t know what the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was during a questioning.
So Rs in the Senate, it is time to sack up, approve every single one the PDJT appointments and let this administration, with a MANDATE, get started.
Advise and consent. Not “Advise and Control”. – Bongino, or maybe it was Bannon. Wasn’t me, in any event.
Yes, they screwed the pooch on that, can not credibly argue either qualifications, demonstrated conpetence or personal chatachter issues, not after Bidens admin Clown cars got confirmed with Republican votes.
Welp, not to be disagreeable
but that’s never stopped a congress critter before. They assume we (as in John Q. Public) do not have a functioning memory.
If the Republicons always supported President Trump, they would be in violation of The UniParty Rules of Engagement that they have so meekly accepted for so many decades. The DC Establishment would certainly frown upon such vulgar behavior. (sarcasm alert)
“No one knows what the FBI background check has uncovered, but it will likely be shaped during the predictable confrontation.”
Show mw the man and I will find you the crime.

Golem much, Tav?
👻
The FBI background checks on several of the nominees didn’t reveal anything, because the FBI is slow-rolling their report to delay confirmation of Trump’s picks.
Many senators are little boys in men’s bodies. Women in the senate, little girls in women’s bodies. It’s really pathetic to see and listen to the reprobates/clowns, etc. the voters in this country have sent to dc to fill senate and house seats. I try to be optimistic about our future as a nation but looking at history wonder whether our time as a great nation has come and gone.
We are about to find out just what kind of Secretary of Defense Hegseth will be as he faces his first wartime enemy within.
Does he have the grit to stand up and face the enemy head on with determination to fight,fight,fight and conquer this enemy or not?
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Shalom, Tav, not long enough no see.

Nah,
He’ll probably just pull a JD and skip the whole show…
Trust God.
Fear not.
Perhaps Pete knows some dirt
about each of those who will question him
and, —using his years of working in the “news” industry as reason for having such knowledge—
to insert the dirt
in his answers to their rhetorical questions / insulting propaganda anti-Pete statements.
I pray that he does.
Correct, I know he’s not stupid and I know he knows how to fight.
Remind the Senate RINOS that most of them had no problem voting to confirm…
AG Merrick Garland
DC USA Matthew Graves
DC Judge Tanya Chutkan
DC Judge Metha
DC Judge Boasberg
DC Judge Beryl Howell
SDNY Judge Kaplan
DHS Mayorkas
Secretary Granholm
…and dozens of other openly Marxists to vitally critical positions!
SO, why weren’t they primaried by raging MAGA voters OR, for that matter, why weren’t the very large number of SUPER-RINO Senators in my list above previously primaried.
You all underestimate the power of incumbency versus MAGA when the RNC/GOP INTENTIONALLY allows fraud against candidates they don’t favor because THEY DON’T WANT a large majority in CONgress, especially consisting of MAGA candidates, because then they couldn’t implement The Blob’s desired outcomes by using the perpetual “insufficient majority” excuse (see recent example below).

And “You all” that keep chanting “primary the bastards still, so many years after the Tea Party, still are clueless about how politics actually works, as opposed to how its portrayed.
You focus is intentionally drawn to Federal over State, and elected PUBLIC officials, over elected PARTY officials.
You think the real political power is with your U.S. Senator or the POTUS?
The real power is in the State Republican Party Executive and rules committees.
Hence, you waste prescious energy on attempts to recruit and run MAGA candidates, to “primary” the RINOS and the State party just recruits 3-4 fake MAGAS to split the MAGA vote (splitter candidates) while keeping out any other RINO Candidates, so as to insure the MAGA survives the Primary.
And, if despite their efforts the MAGA candidate prevails, they are fully prepared to throw the office to the Dem in the General, out of spite.
Amen brother!
Thanks Winston for posting the omega4america material. The RNC has underperformed. We need an RNC leader (with legit project management skills) who embraces proactively cleaning voter roles (needs to start now) funding and coordinating the efforts of Jay Valentine and Judicial Watch. Ending open primaries where Dems can vote for the GOP candidate they can beat in the general election (we’re already late). We also need a MAGA focused RNC who can pick a candidate and tell the other prospective GOP candidates to get out of the primary race. Too often the squishes win because the MAGA vote is diluted for the above reasons.
Read Pete Hegseth’s book, “War on Warriors,” and you will know why the deep state and military industrial complex are scared silly about his nomination.
Exactly right, and I think Trump and Pete know this is a hill to die on…I really do.
NONE of the UniParty senators has any right to judge the morals of any other person on the planet.
“Strong moral character?” A senator wouldn’t even know how to define that term.
That’s just their excuse. Their actual reason is that they are there to implement the will of The Blob.
Imagine if you will, a group of people that have a change or heart only because they got caught.
Then imagine…a group of people that had a change of heart because they, actually had a change of heart.
One group grew up. The other grew evil.
Them-Us simplified.
Time to start lining up primary candidates!
See the LONG list above of LONG seated SUPER-RINO Senators that for some reason haven’t been primaried.
It has been reported in multiple media outlets Thune has assured PDJT that PH has the votes to be confirmed.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/pete-hegseth-enough-votes-become-043058948.html
If the RINOs enable PH to be “…the first potential scalp to be taken…”and it occurs early in the multiple confirmations process, I anticipate other nominee(s) will also be denied.
We’ll see what happens, and how the Repub leadership spins any failures to support PDJT.
Perhaps Thune will regress to the McConnell method of dictating the nominees who can be confirmed?
“according to three sources”
Thereby avoiding any angry calls before the hearings.
I believe nothing from the MSM or “unnamed sources” or Super-RINOS like Thune, a close second in that category to Turtle.
F these Crap Weasels
Hegseth will be must-see TV. But even that pales to RFKJR’s hearing… I can’t wait.
I just read on another site that Punchbowl News, whoever they are, reported that the Hegseth FBI background check was “unremarkable.”
Take it with a grain of salt, I have no idea who Punchbowl is or who they answer to.
Let the grind begin!
The Republicants don’t want to see PDJT succeed at MAGA, he is an existential threat to them.
BUT, they do not want to be seen voting “No”.
Hence the Uniparty game plan is to dirty selected nominees up so much that PDJT will witdraw their names, hence relieving Republicants from having to go on record, voting “no”.
So, PDJT’s strategy must be to “stand by his nominees” no matter WHAT trash they try to throw at the nominees, hoping some will stick..
Recall Kavanaugh, when PDJT expressed unwavering support, despite the whole two-door Ford-Blasey performance, in the end
they voted to confirm.
MAKE them vote no, and they will cave, every time
A conservative SCOTUS seat is FAR less damaging to the RINOs than radical reformers in control of their agency allies, a threat to their cash cow Big Pharma/Big Food donors and the consequences of voting against the wishes of blackmail capable intel agencies.
The 26 Senate D and F-rated RINOs will come up with something to block the radicals, perhaps getting promises not to be too radical or a few of them not up for reelection until 2029 providing just enough ‘nay’ votes for those Dims against a nomination to succeed in blocking it.
Just because Trump was elected doesn’t mean The Blob/Deep State/etc. will vote for their own destruction or even just significant hampering.
I say PH is confirmed – you say he won’t be confirmed. Would you care to wager?
Christine Blatant – Fraud.
It ought not just be primary threats…
Trump needs to convey to the Senators that they themselves, their wives, kids, extended relatives, friends, acquaintences, etc, will become persona non grata with respect to official and non official social events, lobbying contacts, jobs, appointments, etc, unless every one of his nominations is approved…
The financial lucre will be a barren wasteland for at least 4 years…
They have them and their progenies financial futures secure, just as they are protected from being primarying.
Again, an empty threat, and an attempt to look for quick, easy answers.
Instead of doing thechard work of completing the purge of the party.
Good plan – also move their offices to behind the furnace room.
Let the games begin. When demonrats have a majority in Congress getting confirmations isn’t a problem but Repukes have a different agenda: making money and pleasing donors. We are never unified but the dems do stick together.
‘Pete Hegseth is not qualified for the position’, shrieked Fake Indian Warren, while most likely waving her bony arms wildly.
Of course, the Fake Indian has never been qualified for any of the jobs she has held in her adult life, claiming she was a minority every step of the way.
How I loathe this woman with every fiber of my being…
She accused him of being a white supremacist and an “insider threat”. All because of his Cross tattoo.
It was the firewater talking.
Warren isn’t fit to pour P from a boot!
Hegseth can tell the dem senators that every one of them lied by keeping Biden in office, a grave threat to national security.

If so, she can say good-bye to her political career.

Confirmation hearings for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming cabinetFilming of sound bites for the Democrat’s next senate election campaigns are scheduled to begin tomorrow, Tuesday, January 14th.Every President has an obligation to fill his cabinet, and the privilege of filling it with persons of his choice.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Tell your U.S. Senators to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense (from Article 3 Project)
President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Pete Hegseth to serve as our next Secretary of Defense is bold and justified. The Pentagon is in desperate need of a true, reformative leader, and Hegseth will be just that.
Trump’s election was a mandate for not only him, but also his Cabinet picks. A vote to confirm him lines up with how America voted in November.
Pete Hegseth will turn the Pentagon back to its original focus of defending America and its values instead of waging woke culture wars in the name of the deep state.
His qualifications speak for themselves. Hegseth is an Ivy League-educated, war-fighting, Bronze Star-winning Army officer. The Senate must vote to confirm him as our next Defense Secretary.
https://article3project.quorum.us/campaign/confirmpete/ Link for my previous post.
I made some changes and sentArticle 3 Project’s sample messge to both of my Senators. I’ll post a few more in case Treepers want to quickly take action. Takes about five minutes.
Can President Trump dismiss the entire collective known as The Joint Chiefs of Staff?
Tell your U.S. Senators to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director (from Article 3 Project)
President Trump made a perfect choice when he decided Kash Patel should serve as the next FBI Director. Patel exposed the Russiagate hoax when he worked on the House Intelligence Committee and is the right choice to fix the systemic flaws within the FBI.
Patel has prosecuted terrorists and helped lead the Department of Defense on this front. He has the experience and instincts to deliver on President Trump’s mandate to fix the FBI.
Tell your U.S. Senators to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence
President Trump made a perfect choice when he decided Tulsi Gabbard should serve as the next Director of National Intelligence. The Director of National Intelligence oversees all 18 intelligence agencies and is the president’s top intelligence adviser.
More than 250 veterans signed an endorsement letter stating “President Donald Trump’s selection of Tulsi Gabbard reflects a profound recognition of her steadfast dedication to our nation and her unwavering commitment to safeguarding the American people. While most Americans know Tulsi as a fearless and principled Congresswoman who stood up to entrenched political systems, we know her as a fellow veteran—one whose worldview was forged through the crucible of serving in combat zones and a lifelong devotion to service.”
The signers included high-profile and nationally known names such as retired Gen. Michael Flynn, former acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, Arizona Rep. Rep. Eli Crane, Florida Rep. Brian Mast and political commentator Jack Posobiec.
Tulsi will bring much needed reforms to our intelligence community. Tell your U.S. Senators to support the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard.
Tell your U.S. Senators to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS Secretary (from Article 3 Project)
President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve as our next Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) is a brave and much-needed step to making America healthy again.
Trump’s election was a mandate for not only him, but also his Cabinet picks. A vote to confirm Kennedy lines up with how America voted in November.
Americans are currently plagued by unhealthy food and dishonest drug pricing, and as HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. will be sure to work on what’s ailing America, one step at a time.
His qualifications speak for themselves. The Senate must vote to confirm him as our next HHS Secretary.
“The full slate of Democrat members are likely to oppose Hegseth under the justification of his personal attributes not being of strong enough moral character to lead the military.”
“…strong…moral character” like Lloyd Austin who had prostate surgery on December 22, 2023, had complications, had to be kept in the hospital, and the White House didn’t find out about it until January 9, 2024…
Jan 9, 2024″Nobody at the White House knew that Secretary Austin had prostate cancer until this morning,” said John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman. “And the president was informed immediately after.” The 70-year-old Austin was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Dec. 22 and underwent surgery to treat the cancer.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin underwent surgery for prostate cancer on Dec. 22 and suffered from complications, which resulted in his hospitalization. And he didn’t tell his boss.
THAT kind of strong moral character???? That kind of “personal attribute”???
Maybe they can make him pinky swear that if he’s ever hospitalized for more than eight or nine days, he’ll let his boss know….
Lloyd Austin was confirmed by the Senate 93-2. How the heck can only 2 Rs vote against his confirmation. Trump’s nominees won’t get 2 D yes votes.
Lloyd Austin was a Raytheon board member so all those Senators who got money from Raytheon were on board his nomination. He was also approved by the elite general officers who have a closed silo to anyone who is not one of them. He had to get a pass to be approved because he was so recently in the military…and Sec. of Defense must be a civilian.
Both the confirmation hearing on Collins and the confirmation hearing on Bugrum have been postponed because of “paperwork delays”.
I think some Senators need to begin to hear from thousands and thousands of MAGA patriots who are sick to death of their slow-walking any nominations for Republicans while they voted for the most egregious nominations of Biden.
