  17. Got it- Oprah was not paid $2.5 million to endorse Quemala. Her production company (Harpo Productions) received that amount.

    Oprah states, “For the live-streaming event in September, my production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and every other item necessary (including the benches and chairs we sat on) to put on a live production,” Oprah claimed in a defensive social media post.”

  21. Comment from earlier:

    If by “Axe to grind” is meant that the person picked was railroaded by the agency he may take over, that would be a great thing!

    Set the bar high, set the standards higher, and if illegal actions were taken, go after those who would use lawfare for nefarious purposes.

    Gaetz should get confirmed. Most likely will not do any worse than Garland, Barr or Sessions.

    Make those who would vote NAY to show evidence of his wrongdoing.

    The “vaunted crime-fighters” at the FBI should be able to find evidence and advise the DOJ to prosecute him………unless of course it was all b*llsheot.

    As I have stated before, I hope Trump takes advice from Colonels and ranks lower than that.

    I neglected to say that was a proposal from a man I know through the Boy Scouts, who was stationed in both Afghanistan (2x) and Iraq, as well as periods of time in Italy, Japan and So Korea. He advocated not taking advice from generals, as the majority of those he dealt with had gotten there through kissing arse, not in battle.

    I don’t think he is guilty of wrongdoing, if he was the DOJ would have loved to indict him and they didn’t.

    I just think he is completely unqualified for the position and his tenure in the House as one of the Freedom (not) Caucus hostage takers tells me he is not a serious pick. The one good thing is that we are finally rid of him in Congress.

    If Trump can get him confirmed he can get anyone confirmed. Let’s see.

    -Once again, you deal with an opposing viewpoint by resorting to sophomoric name-calling. Pathetic.

    Simple and straight-forward reasoning:

    If the Obama and Biden administrations are pushing DEI, the people they promote are most likely advocates of that policy position, or are people who will go along with it to get the promotion………or……..do you believe that those promoted to general by Obama and Biden are individuals who thumb their noses at their civilian leadership?

    AND FURTHER:

    Do you believe that Obama and/or Biden/Harris wouldn’t replace those generals who DON’T ABIDE by the DEI rules in place?

    The size and scope of the military and the defense industry is massive, and someone needs to fully understand how it operates, what its needs our (our military) and how to accomplish it. I would argue (as a soldier who served, and someone who has operated for a long time within the “field”) that a lower level soldier (i.e. LTC, Major, Captain and below) does not have the institutional knowledge to be effective in that role. And btw, no offense to any Lt. Col here, but that rank is for lifers who couldn’t become full birds, which is the single hardest rank in the Military (or at least Army) to attain.
