This is not a game, McConnell.

Sometimes I wonder about the lucidity of McConnell's mind. How any patriot could bring a Russian oligarch to sovereign Kentucky is beyond serious economics. A Russian oligarch within the sovereign borders of Kentucky is capitulating the idea that the USA does not have the means or ability to determine its own economic strength. I find it shameful.

McConnell hasn't legislated a darn thing to change the path of the USA economy or the economic status of Kentucky. In chronic obstruction, McConnell has weakened Kentucky so much so that it allowed "compromise" into Kentucky's security and that of the national security of the USA. McConnell is still being an obstructionist in refusing help to the states, small businesses, and the people of this great country need. What is his solution, sell Kentucky to the Russians?

President-Elect Joe Biden is assembling a magnificent cabinet. This is no surprise because he has chosen the very person as Vice President-Elect the country needs.

The Republicans put a president in office, Trump, that dismantled the US federal government and disconnected, if not officially, from alliances that protect and defend this country. Unless Senate Republicans want to continue their ASSAULT AGAINST THE USA from inside of our borders, the US Senate (albeit not fully assembled for January 2021) will immediately pass Joe's Cabinet into power. If the US Senate so much as balks at any of these highly qualified candidates for the USA Cabinet, then Joe Biden has the option to make every one of them "acting" until the point in time whereby recess appointments can be carried out. There is no getting away with hostility toward the American people by Republicans anymore. The country has been compromised by their party's president and it is their solemn duty to put power in the hands of those that sincerely love the country and its people.

NO MORE POLITICAL SHENANIGANS. Joe ran on a platform to reunite this country's people and he won't be disappointed.

President-elect Joe Biden on Monday (click here) unveiled a slate of top foreign policy and national security picks, including the first woman to lead the US intelligence community and first Latino to helm the Department of Homeland Security.

Cuban-born Alejandro Mayorkas, a former deputy secretary of DHS who Biden has nominated to lead the department, will be tasked with rebuilding an agency that carried out some of the most draconian measures associated with President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policy, including family separations at the US-Mexico border. Biden's pick for director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, a former top CIA official and deputy national security adviser, will also make history if confirmed by the Senate.

Biden is moving swiftly to craft his incoming administration despite Trump's ongoing efforts to reverse the election results and gum up the transition. CNN reported Monday that Biden is expected to name Janet Yellen as Treasury secretary, according to a source with knowledge of the pick. Yellen would be the first woman to serve as secretary of the Treasury if nominated and confirmed.

The slate of nominations announced on Monday included confirmation of the selection of Antony Blinken, Biden's top foreign policy aide, as the next secretary of state, Linda Thomas-Greenfield to be the US ambassador to the United Nations. Jake Sullivan will join the White House team as Biden's national security adviser....
