"But Bolton came out swinging at Gorka on Friday.

The neocon, who served in the Reagan, George W Bush and first Trump administrations, has set out his stall against many of Trump's picks, including former Democrat and Iraq veteran Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, and told CNN that he "wouldn't have him in any US government".

Earlier this week, Bolton told NewsNation's The Hill that up until Gorka was nominated by Trump as a deputy assistant to the president and the senior director for counter-terrorism, he would have said that Gabbard's nomination "was the worst cabinet appointment in recent American history".

'

"Gorka is outspokenly pro-Israel and supportive of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and has faced allegations of Islamophobia for supporting Trump's 2017 Muslim travel ban that barred travel to the US for 90 days for visitors from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Gorka also claimed that Islam is "not a religion of peace".

He's come under fire for showing up at Trump's 2017 inaugural ball wearing an honorary medal from the Hungarian nationalist organization Vitzi Rend and for a previous position serving as an adviser to the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbn.

Bolton said Gorka "needs a full FBI field background investigation" and his "education claims" need to be investigated.

"I think he is a perfect example of somebody who owes his position purely to Donald Trump," Bolton told the outlet. "He doesn't display loyalty. He displays fealty. And that's what Trump wants. ...

"He doesn't want Gorka's opinions, he wants Gorka to say yes, sir', and I'm fully confident that's exactly what will happen no matter what it is Trump says."

'

Bolton is a neocon, but not an unpatriotic Dictator's Puppet like this Orban stooge.

"This week, Musk took aim at Ashley Thomas, the director of climate diversification for the U.S. International Finance Corporation"a highly technical role that involves developing ways of securing agriculture and infrastructure against extreme weather, one agency official told The Wall Street Journal.

After a right-wing troll account posted on X drawing attention to Thomas's position, Musk reposted it, noting that there were "So many fake jobs." Ironic, coming from a CEO.

Speaking of fake jobs, last week, Donald Trump announced that Musk would be co-heading the Department of Government Efficiency, an advisory board set on slashing the government budget by a trillion dollars, hoping to cut personnel and essential government services ... so they can be snatched up by government contractors or outsourced to private companies ... owned by billionaires ... like Musk.

Musk's decision to sic his millions of X followers on a specific individual, whose only crime seems to be having a job that Musk in all his infinite tech bro wisdom doesn't understand, isn't just cruel, it's dangerous.

In 2022, Musk targeted Yoel Roth, who was Twitter's head of trust and safety, suggesting that Roth was endangering children, leading to his hordes of haters accusing Roth of being a pedophile and calling for his death.

Roth was chased out of the company after Musk's acquisition and had to relocate as a result of the billionaire's cyber campaign.

Musk's mob mayhem is also a sign of what's to come.

Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, told the Journal that Musk's tactics are "aimed at sowing terror and fear at federal employees. It's intended to make them fearful that they will become afraid to speak up."

Kelley also pointed out that federal employees are a hell of a lot cheaper than government contractors."

Trump foxes in the Gov henhouse.
