Its a good thing that Trump has no problems pulling the trigger on replacing staff.

Thanks Bob. I read today where Pence replaced Christie to lead Trump’s transition team. Smart move on the front end. Looking froward to see who lands the cabinet and UN representative roles.

In reply to BSJ. BSJ: You didn't read the article at the link. What is being proposed is that, like driver's license, each state would be required to recognize the concealed carry permit of another state.

In my state I’m not required to get permission, of any sort, from the State to CCW.

Does that mean I wouldn’t have to get Federal permission either? I’m no fan of being on their list just to exercise a Right!

On the flip side; If the Federal Gov’t can just grant a National license to CCW, wouldn’t they then be able to deny that right and by extension even more, whenever “they” felt like it? The Federal sword cuts both ways…

One thing the press did do before the election was make a big deal of Trumps pick to head the EPA transition team should he win.

This story is from Scientific American Sept 26th and is hardly “Scientific” in any way….

So when they did do their jobs it was only in service to a political agenda :-(

In reply to Des. Des: Obtaining information like this is exactly what the press can and should do, prior to the election. As a journalist I know this. Unfortunately, I am not a political journalist so I do not have the contacts to get this information, but trust me, reporters who cover politics do, and could have easily compiled this kind of list months ago, from inside sources. They did not. They were too busy covering silly things or campaigning for their preferred candidates.

We don’t know that this list is genuine as it is from an anonymous source, though it could well be genuine. The article is dated yesterday, so why criticise the press for not reporting on the list pre-election when it was never released to them?
