President-Elect Trump's cabinet

Jared's Dad

Donald Trump has selected his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, to serve as the next US ambassador to France, the president-elect announced Saturday.

Trump described Charles Kushner as a highly successful business leader, philanthropist and dealmaker, with deep experience in the real estate industry.

“I am pleased to nominate Charles Kushner, of New Jersey, to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to France. He is a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker, who will be a strong advocate representing our Country & its interests,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

The president-elect also noted the connection to Jared Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka. “His son, Jared, worked closely with me in the White House, in particular on Operation Warp Speed, Criminal Justice Reform, & the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote in his post.

Charles Kushner was pardoned by Trump in 2020 following a 2005 conviction on federal charges. Chris Christie, who led the case as the US attorney for New Jersey, said in 2019 that Kushner committed “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes” he had prosecuted.

Kushner, who was under investigation at the time for making illegal campaign contributions, targeted his brother-in-law, William Schulder, a former employee turned witness for federal prosecutors in their case against the Democratic donor. As part of the plot, Kushner hired a prostitute to lure Schulder into having sex in a motel as a hidden camera rolled. A tape of the encounter was then sent to Kushner’s sister and Schulder’s wife. Ultimately, the intimidation stunt failed, and the woman turned on Kushner.

Kushner pleaded guilty in 2005 to 16 counts of tax evasion, one count of retaliating against a federal witness and another count of lying to the Federal Election Commission. He was sentenced to two years in prison.

It is a long shot, but from his cabnet pics Trump on this shot may be one of the great Presidents ever. He's shaking things up. And that is a VERY good thing.

Surgeon General: Dr. Janette Nesheiwat

I know this has no effect on her ability to be surgeon general, but what a tragic story. But may be why she became a doctor.

Donald Trump’s nominee for US surgeon general – Dr Janette Nesheiwat – accidentally knocked over a gun when she was 13 years old, causing it to fire and fatally shoot her father in the head.

TG you follow true crime, so you must know how many times people try to use that story. I hope in her case it's true.

It feels like we’re really digging into the weeds with the Trump picks. Is it because he’s posting them so early?

That one makes sense at least.

Hegseth and Ratcliffe have secured committee votes.

Heard on the GOP senators today, complain about Schumer. The Dems are dragging, maybe on purpose.

The Republicans have proposed creating two tiers of hearings. The A block is nominees with a very high chance of confirmation. The C block would be for the nominees with the most opposition. The B block would be all other nominees.

So far, no deal.

I was going to ask who didn’t vote but it must be Rubio himself.

But wait - Vance resigned last week. Did Rubio vote for himself?
