Trump administration 2024-2028

Well, he is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation so he probably has a bit of a different view about "illegal immigration" than the average guy.

He's a Republican so you automatically get all the garbage associated with modern-day Republicans but we all knew that Trump wouldn't appoint Bernie Sanders to the post.

IMHO, anyone or anything is better than Noem.

He literally tried to fight a guy in a committee hearing so I question his temperament.

America deserves someone with expert knowledge and experience in a role like that.

That worries me a lot less than his views on women and abortion and several other things. But look at the pool of candidates Trump selects from. It's heavily skewed in favour of the "deplorables."

Of course it does. It deserves a better president, a better cabinet, a better legislature a better supreme court but it has chosen what it has. Maybe it doesn't deserve better. It got what it asked for. Strangely we're not seeing as much buyer's remorse as we should be by now. That's a worry.

They've got a convicted felon (pardoned) as Ambassador to France. Do you expect more?

Markwayne appears to be 1/128 Cherokee by blood. Although, he is a citizen of Cherokee Nation as that tribe has no blood quantum requirements.

His lineage comes through a maternal great-grandfather, Bert Morris.

Did Markwayne Mullin Forget Who He Is?

How many generations back is 1/128?
Click to expand...

An inheritance of 1/128 is equal to 0.78125% of your total DNA, typically representing a 5x great-grandparent.


In genealogy, each generation further back roughly halves the amount of DNA you inherit from a specific ancestor. A fraction of 1/128 corresponds to the seventh generation before you (where you are generation zero).

1/2 (50%): Parent
1/4 (25%): Grandparent
1/8 (12.5%): Great-grandparent
1/16 (6.25%): 2x Great-grandparent
1/32 (3.125%): 3x Great-grandparent
1/64 (1.5625%): 4x Great-grandparent
1/128 (0.78125%): 5x Great-grandparent

Key Considerations:

Recombination: Because DNA is shuffled randomly during meiosis, you may inherit slightly more or less than exactly
from a specific ancestor at this distance.

Genetic Ghosting: At the 1/128 level, there is a small statistical possibility that you inherited no DNA at all from that specific ancestor, even though they are a confirmed part of your family tree.

The Burden That Should Not Be Theirs: How Congress Turned the Military into the Last Check on Illegal War

This has been by Executive design and collusion with the majority of Congress. It is not ‘unintentional’ at all…

Congress has unintentionally shifted the burden of preventing an unconstitutional war squarely onto the military. By failing to exercise its war powers, it has positioned the American military as a firewall made of parchment between itself and the White House. Democratic members of Congress and the Senate have issued solemn warnings regarding unlawful orders and disobedience, hoping the military will do what Congress hasn’t: prevent an unconstitutional war.

This is not the right path. Making the military the last barrier to unconstitutional war corrodes civilian control, encourages executive overreach, and risks politicizing obedience itself. It is also of questionable efficacy, serving as a Hail Mary pass given the military’s robust institutional obedience to its commander in chief. While Democrats speaking out about illegal orders and resistance from the ranks are on sound legal ground and are expressing understandable frustration, Congress should do its job instead of looking to the military to counter such threats.

No, Americans deserve all of this. They voted for it.
