(WASHINGTON) — Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke won Senate confirmation on Wednesday as President Donald Trump’s Interior secretary, giving him responsibility for overseeing 400 million acres of public land, mostly in the West. The Republican-controlled Senate approved the nomination, 68-31. Zinke, 55, a former Navy SEAL and Montana state senator, resigned as a delegate to the Republican National Convention last year to protest the GOP’s position in favor of land transfers to state or private groups. Still, his stance on public lands has come into question in recent weeks after he voted in favor of a House rule that would allow federal land transfers to be considered cost-free and budget-neutral, making it easier for drilling and development. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Zinke at Interior should “concern every lover of our great and grand national parks.” Dismissing the Republican’s claim to be like the late President Teddy Roosevelt, Schumer said, “You can’t be a Roosevelt conservationist if you sell off public lands.” Countering the Democrat, Montana Republican Sen.

  • Ha, Ha! Republican Voters Against Trump Release Pointed New Ad
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 04/29/2024 - 08:13 AM

    A Republican organization opposed to Trump slammed conservative figures who recognize the danger posed by Orange Mussolini but plan to vote for him anyway. Via HuffPost: The video from Republican Voters Against Trump is an update of a 2022 spot from the organization that resembles the old ASPCA ads featuring singer Sarah McLachlan. Instead of urging viewers to help save animals, the spokesperson here warns of prominent Trump supporters suffering from “partisan derangement syndrome.” That list includes former Attorney General Bill Barr, who has called Trump a “horror show,” dismissed his claims of election fraud as “bullshit” and said Trump grew “detached from reality” after losing in 2020. Also prominent hypocrites Chris Sununu and Mitch McConnell.

Eric told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo how great his father's "stamina" is and said he's "never seen anything like it in my life." That's a tell. Donald says that or says something is worse than "the world has ever seen" when he lies. "He's going all over the place," Eric said of his father, who has been golfing on his days off where, hopefully, he's not farting on his Mar-a-Lago guests.
