Apparently the widely circulated rumor of Kelly Loeffler for the job was wrong; or, there was a change of plan. Regardless, President Trump has just announced Brooke Rollins as the nominee for Secretary of Agriculture.
“From her upbringing in the small and Agriculture-centered town of Glen Rose, Texas, to her years of leadership involvement with Future Farmers of America and 4H, to her generational Family Farming background, to guiding her four kids in their show cattle careers, Brooke has a practitioner’s experience, along with deep Policy credentials in both Nonprofit and Government leadership at the State and National levels.”
Brooke Rollins served as director of the Office of American Innovation and acting director of the Domestic Policy Council during the first Trump administration. After leaving the administration Rollins co-founded the America First Policy Institute think tank and was the President and CEO of the organization.
Mrs Collins will predictably play a vital role in protection and support of American farmers as President Trump confronts the global world of trade and tariffs.

Providing the baselines so the discussion can happen in the comments. President Trump announced his nominees for Surgeon General, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
More than likely, nominated HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr had a key voice in recommending some of these names. Perhaps not, but RFK Jr and Elon Musk are currently living in Mar-a-Lago for a reason. So, here’s the nominees as outlined starting with the Surgeon General.

President Trump has announced the nomination of Teamsters union favorite Lori Chavez-DeRemer for U.S. Labor Secretary. Teamsters President Sean O’Brien backed Chavez-DeRemer for the cabinet position, and the alignment with the blue-collar union base made her a natural fit.
Look for many pro-labor Democrats to support this nomination. Several major unions in Oregon endorsed Chavez-DeRemer’s reelection bid this year, but she lost to Democratic state Rep. Janelle Bynum in one of the most competitive house races in 2024.

President Donald Trump has announced Scott Bessent as nominee for U.S. Treasury Secretary. The Secretary of Treasury implements tax policy, manages the nation’s debt, leads financial regulators, monitors and executes sanctions and conducts economic diplomacy. While the U.S. trade representative takes the lead on tariffs, the Treasury secretary typically plays a key role advising on that issue as well.
Bessent (62) is a hedge Fund manager, the founder of investment firm Key Square Capital Management. Despite supporting President Trump early, he has faced criticism for working as the CIO at George Soros’s Soros Fund Management from 2011 to 2015. He lives in Charleston, S.C.
Via NBC – […] Bessent has advised Trump to pursue a “3-3-3” policy: cutting the budget deficit to 3% of gross domestic product by 2028, spurring GDP growth of 3% through deregulation, and producing an additional 3 million barrels of oil or its equivalent a day.
He has suggested that Trump’s tariff threats are a negotiating strategy aimed at extracting concessions from other countries. “My general view is that at the end of the day, he’s a free trader,” Bessent told the Financial Times last month. “It’s escalate to de-escalate.” (read more)

It looks like Matt Gaetz is done with DC politics. [Video Below]
During an interview today, Mr Gaetz has big praise for Pam Bondi and says he will remain outside government trying to assist President Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda.
WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said Friday that he doesn’t plan to rejoin Congress after he withdrew his name from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations.
“I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz said in an interview with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
“There are a number of fantastic Floridians who stepped up to run for my seat, people who have inspired with their heroism, with their public service. And I’m actually excited to see Northwest Florida go to new heights and have great representation,” he added.
Gaetz, who was first elected to Florida’s state House when he was 28 years old, noted he has been in elected office for 14 years,
“I’m 42 now, and I’ve got other goals in life that I’m eager to pursue — my wife and my family — and so I’m going to be fighting for President Trump,” he said. “I’m going to be doing whatever he asks of me, as I always have. But I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress.”
Gaetz said it seems like “a pretty poetic time to allow that great new blood to come in, to allow my district to have high-quality representation.”
He also alluded to playing a continued role in Trump’s plans, without getting into specifics.
“We need a leadership structure under President Trump that’s going to allow for durability of our movement and the ability to continue this great realignment of our politics, and so I’ll play a part in that,” he said. “I plan to be a big voice, but maybe not as an elected member of the government.” (read more)

Just dropping some background information to help people make sense of things in the nomination world of businessman and President-Elect Donald Trump.
FINANCIAL TIMES – […] Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates Truth Social, is close to an all-stock acquisition of Bakkt, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing two people with knowledge of the talks.
Shares of Bakkt, backed by NYSE-owner Intercontinental Exchange, skyrocketed more than 160% and were halted multiple times due to volatility. Trump Media shares ended the day up 16.7%.
[…] Trump Media and Bakkt ‒ whose former CEO, Kelly Loeffler, is now co-chair of Trump’s inauguration committee and married to Intercontinental Exchange CEO Jeffrey Sprecher ‒ did not immediately respond to requests for comment from USA TODAY. Intercontinental Exchange declined to comment.
A deal would help consolidate Trump’s involvement with an industry that he championed in the run-up to the U.S. presidential election. The president-elect has also launched a new crypto venture, World Liberty Financial.
“The only thing (Trump Media has) got going for them is the incoming president’s name. But the crypto crowd has backed the president quite strongly, and now they’re expecting a payoff,” said Jim Angel, a finance professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. (read more)
As with everything in life, outside family, it helps to stay emotionally detached and clear-eyed about money motives.
Kelly Loeffler transferred ownership of Baakt. The crypto exchange Baakt is currently owned by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), owned by Loffler’s husband. If the report above is accurate, President Trump is in merger negotiations with Kelly Loeffler’s husband, Jeffrey Sprecher.
Big Agriculture and Big Pharma were both preparing for a serious battle over food, chemicals, drugs and various health matters they control, with RFK Jr appointed to lead Health and Human Services (HHS). With that many trillions at stake, the scale of political capital needed to confront Big Ag and Big Rx was going to be astronomical.
If these reports are accurate, today Big Ag and Big Rx will breathe a collective sigh of relief, and President Trump will not have to worry about RFK Jr creating distractions from other priorities. All in all, an expected approach.
This has not yet appeared on Truth Social, however, apparently, Susie Wiles is expected to announce the nomination of Kelly Loeffler for Secretary of Agriculture.
Former Senator Kelly Loeffler is the wife of Jeffrey Sprecher. Kelly Loeffler was approved by the Sea Island control group, then appointed by Georgia Governor Kemp because Loeffler is married to Jeffrey Sprecher; a GOPe party insider, mega-donor, and multi-millionaire CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
Jeffrey Sprecher (formerly from the Bush administration) is the founder and CEO of ICE, which now owns the New York Stock Exchange. Kelly Loeffler’s company, the financial platform Bakkt, is a subsidiary of the Intercontinental Exchange. Bakkt is currently in the process of creating a Crypto exchange, with hopes of making Bakkt to U.S. Crypto what the NYSE is to stocks.
Kelly Loeffler purchased her recent Trump insiders’ ticket from Susie Wiles by leading the inauguration committee. Where ‘leading’ is essentially financing it with her circle of friends. On the upside, with this level of attachment to the Wall Street multinationals, the likely nomination of Loeffler to protect corporate food interests should settle down the opposition to RFK Jr in the Senate nomination process.
Much like yesterday’s nominee of Pam Bondi, billionaire mega-donor and former Senator, Kelly Loeffler, has the support of Nikki Haley, Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Chuck Grassley, all the Fox News pundits, and all of the key influence agents within the professional republican apparatus.
RFK Jr was likely to face blistering questioning and tenuous confirmation as HHS secretary, given his statements of intent about security American food supplies, diminishing the influence of Big Ag and confronting the Rx and Chemical industry. These are the corporate business sectors who pay the most for lobbyists in Washington DC.
By nominating Kelly Loeffler as Secretary of Agriculture, President Trump assuages the fears of the multinationals and likely makes the nomination of RFK Jr a little more stable. Loeffler will be a guarantor of the corporate interests that RFK Jr threatens.
Like I said, it makes sense. [Archives on Loeffler HERE] If we want an RFK Jr, we might have to take a Kelly Loeffler.
Robert F Kennedy Jr and Nicole Shannahan are not likely to be happy about this, but compromises are needed. After all, there are trillions at stake in all of the sectors that RFK Jr is promising to change.
I would suspect that Ms Loeffler is traveling to Mar-a-Lago today for direct negotiations with RFK Jr before any announcement is made. Loeffler would also represent another gender positive move for the Trump administration.
MAHA now comes with a small *asterisk. The asterisk is Kelly Loeffler.
On the upside, the crypto markets are likely to continue benefitting big time.

Dan Scavino Jr is as close a confidant as you can get to President Trump, without being a member of the family. According to a recent Tweet sent by Scavino, President Trump has never considered former HPSCI Chairman Mike Rogers for the position of FBI Director.
Dan Scavino would never send this Tweet, without the explicit direction of President Trump telling him to do so. Essentially, this is the soft way for President Trump to tell Mike Rogers and his supporters he is not in the planning.
As stated before, current FBI Director Chris Wray has not resigned, and he has two years left on his term. President Trump cannot fire Chris Wray until he takes office after the inauguration. Therefore, all of the discussion about a new FBI director is essentially moot.
We likely will not know anything about the retention or removal of Christopher Wray, until after President Trump takes office.
