Trump considering Loeffler for secretary of Agriculture: report
President-elect Donald Trump is set to nominate businesswoman and former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler to serve as the secretary of the Department of Agriculture, according to CNN. The appointment comes as Trump’s technology company is reportedly in talks to acquire crypto group Bakkt, formerly headed by Loeffler and founded by her husband Jeffrey Sprecher‘s company Intercontinental Exchange. Loeffler served as CEO of Bakkt from 2018 until December 2019, when she was appointed to fill a vacancy in the Senate by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Trump Media and Technology Group’s interest in the group sent shares of Bakkt soaring earlier this week. Loeffler drew criticism early in her Senate term for selling off stock in retail firms following a briefing on the coronavirus pandemic.

Is the US the only country where a dissident like Trump can return to power?
It is my personal opinion that the separation of powers, an independent judiciary, and the Constitution/Bill of Rights allowed a dissident like Trump to return to the presidency. This is the reason the Democrats constantly go after the Supreme Court and constantly say they want to pack it. In a country like Venezuela, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice happily does whatever the regime wants. Chavez with the 1999 constitution eliminated the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela and replaced it with the The Supreme Tribunal of Justice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Tribunal_of_Justice_(Venezuela)https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-calls-supreme-court-term-limits-code-conduct-limits-presidential-immunityhttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-backs-harris-pushes-supreme-court-reform-pass-torch-speech-about-ending-2024-bidRepublicans must protect the Supreme Court and the Bill of Rights/Constitution at all costs.

Claudia Sheinbaum says “immigrants are not criminals”
Mexico’s president on Trump deportation plans: Immigrants are not ‘criminals’Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said immigrants shouldn’t be viewed as “criminals,” but declared that Mexico has a plan for an influx of returnees should President-elect Donald Trump proceed with threatened mass deportations of immigrants, many of them Mexican nationals. “We don’t agree that migrants be treated as criminals,” Sheinbaum told reporters Thursday at her regular morning news conference, in her strongest condemnation yet of Trump’s vow to implement the largest deportation in U.S. history. Jittery Mexican officials are bracing for the second term of Trump, who has vowed to unleash both record deportations and wide-ranging tariffs that could throttle Mexico’s already sluggish economy, which is heavily dependent on trade with the United States. Trump, who has denounced immigrants as “animals” and “vicious and bloodthirsty criminals” and spread debunked claims that some were eating pets, has repeatedly vowed he would launch record deportations on his first day in office, Jan. 20.

NFL flexes upcoming 'Thursday Night Football' game for first time ever
For the first time in league history, the NFL is flexing a "Thursday Night Football" game. The Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals were scheduled to play the Thursday night game during Week 16, but the NFL is replacing that matchup with the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers. The change is unprecedented because of how drastically different team preparation is between a Thursday and Sunday game. The Chargers will be home for the Thursday night matchup against the Broncos Dec.19. Both teams are home the prior week, potentially another reason the NFL made the schedule change.
