White Pill:
The last major cabinet appointment that I can think of that has successfully been delayed for about as long as they can get away with is Kash Patel. With Bondi already in at DOJ and getting comfy, and “Eagle” Ed Martin heading the DC prosecutor’s office, at least his required support will already be in place when he gets there.
Some of the “Day 1” things that Kash has already publicly outlined that he plans to do could be, when viewed through a logical lens, the reason they have tried to delay his confirmation for so long.
But if RFK Jr and Tulsi made it through - who many saw as the most difficult confirmations - I’m cautiously optimistic that he will make it into his position as well, even if later than many hoped for.
Macro takeaways/lessons for the week:
-The lawfare cases on deck hit a snag earlier than many expected, but many see these as “bait” that Trump wanted/expected to get a proper SCOTUS ruling on the power of the Unitary Executive. The thing about TDS is that it makes it relatively easy to predict the angles of attack from those infected with it.
-The media continues to beclown itself amidst already cratering public support. When you surround yourself with clowns, you get a circus.
-Panama, in the end, removed China’s control of the Panama Canal. In the end, we will win.
Implications:
You can’t win them all, and you should always expect some unexpected variables to go awry when formulating any sophisticated or multivariate plan. Surprisingly, things have been going quite swimmingly for Trump v2.0, despite the media and DC-types trying to convince you otherwise.
I’m cautiously optimistic, but it looks like following the “speed is security” doctrine was an excellent choice.
The Weekly Read (Monday):
The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling, and What We Can Do About It by Dr. Warren Farrell
amazon.com/Boy-Crisis-Boy…
As the social sentiment begins to move back towards promoting the nuclear family, there are a few headwinds that still need to be dealt with. Firstly, young couples are not likely to have kids (or even get married) if Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs isn’t met, starting with a good economy, affordable starter homes, and security.
Beyond that, many of my generation and those above (and below) my age cohort complain about young men today and their lack of, well, most of what we attributed to the maturation of young men and how they should act.
To understand what caused that, one must go back in history (but not that far as, with many things, the changes during the Obama administration did some serious societal damage).
This book walks you through that history, and how many of the pro-women and girls programs, grants, STEM scholarships, equality rules, and others may have been designed to enhance the opportunities for young women, but many of them did so at the expense of young boys and men.
I have both a daughter and a son, and the results that I have seen societally look like they have been damaging for young people of both sexes. Fewer opportunities for young men, a reduction of the spaces/programs/abilities for “boys to be boys,” constant scolding by school mom-like “Karens” and the MeToo movement (and everything that it brought with it) have totally reordered and damaged this crucial time for boys to mature into young men.
For my daughter, it also means that the quality of the pool of men that she may one day date and marry has this “failure to launch” crisis due to these types of programs and the lack of an ability for boys to be boys when it's time to be boys.
Pepper in the lockdown ridiculousness and all of the damage that caused to the social upbringing of kids, and we have allowed busybody intellectuals to do great harm to boys directly, and girls indirectly.
To truly fix a problem, we need to identify, name, understand, and determine where the origin point of the problem was. This book does that and I consider it a must read for any parents or parents-to-be of both boys and girls.
