Trump's Bad DEA Pick

Timothy Birdnow

Trump's pick for DEA Chief is under fire for his actions during the Covid 19 lockdowns.

Trump recently announced he was choosing a Florida sheriff - Buford T. Justce Chad Chronister to head up the DEA. DEA has become a very critical post as we are being flooded with serious drugs through our non-existent southern border.

Frankly, I never trust a guy named Chad but that's just me.

Hanging Chad arrested a Christian pastor for the sinister crime of holding religioius services in violation of the lockdown orders during the massive overreaction to the Covid cold and flu season. (Yes, Covid was worse than those and people did die and I know many will be angry at me for being flippant but the fact remains Covid 19 was indeed a cold, albeith a sometimes lethal one, and there was NO flu season, meaning many flu deaths were being listed as Covid.) At any rate the sheriff was doing his job, although if he were the man we needed he would have used his discretion to spend resources on more pressing crimes like failure to wear seat belts or talking and driving or perhaps even jay walking.

At any rate Hanging Chad may wind up hanging in Committee when he faces a Senate confirmation hearing. A lot of Conservatives are not happy.

Thomas Massie, normally a staunch Trump ally, had this to say:

And Mike Cernovich complained:


And this lament from John Cordillo:


During the service itself? Yikes! That bespeaks a bit of a character flaw if you ask me.

Tim Pool, who I have corresponded with in years gone by, had this to say:


The fact is the supreme law of the land is the Constitution and it explicitly states:


There is nothing about abrogation during pandemics. What Hanging Chad did was abrogate the free exercise thereof, as well as abridging the freedom of speech, and the right to peaceably assemble. When there is conflict between the Constitution and other rules put in place - especially by local authorities - the Constitution is supposed to prevail. The behavior of Hanging Chad suggests a woeful lack of discernment on his part.

The whole point of the MAGA revolution is to end business as usual. This sheriff seems to be a business-as-usual type of guy and to get back to a more Constitution-based order.  Do we really need this guy? Can't we do better?

Why doesn't Trump go for someone like Joe Arpaio?
