Trump Transition Team 10 Remix (2016)
It does strike me as an odd way of draining the swamp to bring in a new alligator from Wall Street.

Trump Transition Team 9 Remix (2016)
To identify what's wrong with conservatism and Republicanism -- and now with so much of America as we are about to enter the Trump era -- you don't need high-blown theories or deep sociological analysis or surveys. The answer is as simple as it is sad: There is no kindness in them.
--Neal Gabler
Trump Transition Team 7 Remix (2016)
When I suggested a few weeks ago that Trump’s worldview resembled the narcissistic simulated universe of “The Matrix,” I had no idea how far the analogy would go. His election represents the moment when roughly half our voting population — slightly less than that, to be fair — spoke out clearly: Give us the blue pill! That’s the one where you wake up in your beds and believe whatever you want to believe, leaving reality behind. If onetime movie star Ronald Reagan was the first postmodern president (the word still meant something back then), Trump will be the first post-reality president.

Trump Transition Team 1 Remix (2016)
When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.
--Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death, 1985

Very organized process taking place as I decide on Cabinet and many other positions. I am the only one who knows who the finalists are!

Airbag Recall (2016)
The airbags in question have been blamed for 11 deaths and over 150 injuries, with additional cases under review. Ten of the deaths have occurred in Hondas, the automaker confirmed. The recall stems from the discovery that these airbags, when deployed in an accident, can explode with too much force and spray metal shrapnel at occupants.
