Greetings! So Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense is Fox News personality Peter Hegseth. I guess Dennis Quaid and Hulk Hogan weren’t available…Awkward! Trump makes the traditional visit to meet with Joe Biden at the White House today…Looks like Trump is creating a Department of Government Efficiency. Sounds like an oxymoron to me…Who was the GOP’s 2024  biggest election night loser?  Kari Lake, the conspiracy-spewing Arizona candidate for the U.S. Senate, per American Greatness…Mark Halperin cites four behind-the-scenes Trump supporters who helped power his way to victory in a Foxnews.com opinion piece.  The list includes Walt Nauta (remember him from the Mar-a-Lago documents case?), who still toils away as a loyal aide to The Donald…Nearly  90% of “Saturday Night Live’s” campaign jokes targeted Trump, according to a study by the conservative Media Research Council (NewsBusters)…Songs from two MAGA-friendly musicians topped Billboard’s digital sales charts. Tom MacDonald landed No. 1 with  Goodbye Joe (about a certain lame duck POTUS) followed by Lee Greenwood’s  God Bless the USA.  Why are these two tunes ruling the charts?
