Bossert served as Deputy Homeland Security Advisor in George W. Bushā€™s administration, and since 2009 has run CDS Consulting, an independent homeland and national security consulting business.

ā€œBossert will demonstrate his powers of concentration and unique abilities at multi-tasking by maintaining his ownership and Director responsibilities with CDS Consulting while serving the President.ā€

Chosen for this post because it does not require confirmation?

ā€œTom brings enormous depth and breadth of knowledge and experience to protecting the homeland to our senior White House team,ā€ the President-elect said in a statement.

I find it surprising feminist organizations opposed to Trump, for a vast litany of legitimate reasons, havenā€™t trained more fire on his incoming administrationā€™s seemingly forced seclusion of Melania since the election. She may as well not even exist. Save one half-assed allusion to fighting cyber bullying sheā€™s a cipher as to any causes or programs she might take charge of. Sheā€™s shaping up to have one of the more limited roles of First Lady in recent memory.

It is curious and another example of the well-trained, house pet press that reports what itā€™s toldā€¦I think I caught a glimpse of her head as Trump received more applause than Baby Jesus at a Florida Christmas Eve serviceā€¦

Dana Bash can inform all of us Melania is someone Mrs. Obama could stand to take some lessons from. We can also look forward to Jimmy Fallon playfully mussing her hair and telling her what a wonderful little man Barron is turning out to be.

If that ugly Rosie rumor about the little boy is true I have sympathy for her and what she must imagine she is facingā€¦I doubt Trump consulted her at all about running though the store of web photos of her posing before a gigantic American flag in their infamous gold living room indicate she was in on the secret plan for a while.

Yeah, the kid has it roughā€¦

I hear Raqqa is lovely in winter.
