I mean he had DeVoss there before.

He's setting the stage for the USA to have a big home-soil attack IMO. I just wish it was his own cult that got hurt and not innocent people (no, if you voted for him you are not innocent)
 
What can UNC expect given RFK's antipathy toward NIH ?

Currently UNC receives 522 million/yr in NIH funding...

What Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said about the NIH

Trump’s pick for health and human services secretary aims to disrupt the National Institutes of Health, the country’s top funder of academic research. Doctors and public health officials have condemned the choice.

Link: Pete Hegseth - Wikipedia

From Personal Life Section: "Hegseth married his first wife, Meredith Schwarz, in 2004; they divorced in 2009. In 2010 he married his second wife, Samantha Deering; they have three children. In August 2017, while still married to Deering, Hegseth had a daughter with Fox executive producer Jennifer Rauchet. He and Deering divorced in August 2017. Hegseth and Rauchet, who has three young children from her first marriage, married in August 2019."

WOW! Just like Papa Trump, three wives and constantly stepping out on all of them. No wonder St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago picked him.
 


Zero in Whitaker’s background to suggest that he is qualified for this particular post, so par for the course, I guess.

Donald Trump Is Dead Serious About Getting Matt Gaetz to DOJ​

The president-elect wants the fight, believing the congressman will investigate the investigators and MAGAfy the Justice Department.​


"... As Trump began formulating the type of individual he wanted atop the DOJ, he was drawn to those attributes and to the idea that Gaetz would help him investigate the investigators.

“The hunters have become the hunted,” a Gaetz confidant said. “This is not your grandfather’s party. This is MAGA.”

... He [Gaetz] has been a bombastic member of the House, keen to throw sharp elbows at his foes, defend Trump in dramatic ways and pick fights within his own party’s tent.

That attitude has won him many enemies on the Hill. But it was also fundamental to Trump’s decision to choose him for the AG slot, according to a Trump adviser familiar with the transition process.

“None of the attorneys had what Trump wants, and they didn’t talk like Gaetz,” the adviser said.

“Everyone else looked at AG as if they were applying for a judicial appointment. They talked about their vaunted legal theories and constitutional bullshit. Gaetz was the only one who said, ‘Yeah, I’ll go over there and start cuttin’ fuckin’ heads.’”

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, said on a podcast this week that he supported a system of “classical Christian schools” to provide the recruits for “an underground army” that will eventually launch an “educational insurgency” to take over the United States.

"..."I think we need to be thinking in terms of these classical Christian schools are boot camps for winning back America," said Sumpter.

"That's what the crop of these classical Christian schools are gonna do in a generation," Hegseth agreed. "Policy answers like school choice, while they're great, that's phase two stuff later on once the foothold has been taken, once the recruits have graduated boot camp."

"We call it a tactical retreat," Hegseth continued. "We draw out in the last part of the book what an educational insurgency would look like, because I was a counterinsurgency instructor in Afghanistan and kind of the phases that Mao [Zedong] wrote about. We're in middle phase one right now, which is effectively a tactical retreat where you regroup, consolidate, and reorganize. And as you do so, you build your army underground with the opportunity later on of taking offensive operations in an overt way."

"Obviously, all of this is metaphorical and all that good stuff," Hesgeth claimed, which promoted both hosts and himself to burst out laughing. ..."
