The last thirty-six hours have seen more lightning developments, and what they mean depends on whom one asks. Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) abruptly withdrew his name from consideration as the next United States Attorney General. Within eight hours of that announcement, Trump had nominated someone else: Pam Bondi, former Attorney General of Florida. Is this another Trumpian half loaf? Or did President-elect Donald J. Trump intend to nominate her all along, and was Matt Gaetz’ nomination a calculated distraction?

Who is Pam Bondi?

Pam Bondi served as Attorney General of Florida from 2010 through 2019. She became most famous as the lead plaintiff in Florida ex rel. Bondi v. HHS – the “Obamacare Case.” The only reason she lost that case is that Chief Justice John Roberts, in an abrupt break with the Originalist Bloc as it then existed (and with Justice Anthony Kennedy, the other Moderate on the Court), upheld the Individual Mandate as a legitimate and constitutional tax on individuals, however selective that tax might be. 567 U.S. 519 (2012). The Tampa Bay Times upbraided her for “Bondi’s needless crusade.” Pam Bondi defiantly said she filed the case to uphold religious liberty.

Trevor Noah has more on her, specifically these two X posts:

Pam Bondi is intimately familiar with the house she’s about to clean. They should have settled with Matt Gaetz.

[Pam Bondi] is an American attorney, lobbyist, and politician who has been notably active in both Florida state politics and national politics, particularly during the Trump administration.

• Pamela Jo Bondi was born on November 17, 1965, in Temple Terrace, Florida. She graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Criminal Justice in 1987 and later from Stetson Law School with a Juris Doctor in 1990. She was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1991.

• Bondi served as an Assistant State Attorney in Hillsborough County, Florida, for over 18 years, focusing on cases ranging from domestic violence to capital murder.

• She was elected as the 37th and first female Attorney General of Florida in 2010, serving from 2011 to 2019. During her tenure:

- She was known for her aggressive stance against "pill mills," combatting opioid abuse, and addressing human trafficking.

- Bondi gained national attention for her unsuccessful lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.

• Bondi was part of President Donald Trump's legal defense team during his first impeachment trial in 2020.

- She briefly worked at the White House as a special government employee to assist with messaging during Trump's impeachment proceedings.

- Post her role as Florida AG, she joined Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm with ties to Trump, and she lobbied for foreign interests including Qatar.

• As of 2024, Pam Bondi leads the legal arm of the America First Policy Institute, aligning with Trump's political agenda. This role involves her in activities related to law, justice, and policy advocacy.

• Bondi is a staunch ally of Trump, known for her loyalty to him and his policies.

Today, Bob Unruh at WorldNetDaily had more. He quoted an MSNBC contributor named James Johnson as expressing fear of Pam Bondi – because “she’s competent.” And, true enough, Matt Gaetz has no prosecutorial experience, nor indeed any experience in the practice of law. His nomination to be Attorney General shocked the establishment, as much for that reason as in fear of any retribution he might exact, on his own behalf or on that of Donald Trump.

Occasionally, attorneys general try to behave like they are not the personal lawyer of the President of the United States. That is completely out the window. Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear, because she's competent. We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job. So if anyone on the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking, “Well maybe Matt Gaetz will screw this up and that will give us time,” no. Pam Bondi knows what she is doing.

She knows what she's doing about immigration. Remember, Florida is one of those states that has been very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states and everything else like that. Florida has enacted all sorts of rules and laws to curtail students and what they can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money.

She is a dangerous and effective pick, and that's frankly worse than what we would have got with Matt Gaetz, even with the deplorable moral background that he has.

Jason Johnson

https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1859747796661739802

User “Grateful Calvin” at Twitchy.com picked up on Mr. Johnson’s statement, calling it an “accidental endorsement.”

Gaetz may have been Trump's “wild card” pick, but on paper, Bondi is an even better choice. She has an impeccable resume for the job, having been a prominent prosecutor in Hillsborough County, Florida, before becoming the state's first female Attorney General, serving from 2011 to 2019. After her tenure, she also served on Trump's impeachment defense team, infuriating the left with her accurate allegations of Biden family corruption with respect to Ukraine.

Yep. We love her already.

Whither Matt Gaetz?

For eighteen hours, Matt Gaetz left many of his friends thinking that he would soon add the title Senator, or at least Senator-designate, to his name. That might have been a reasonable assumption. At least two influencers have stated that Matt Gaetz didn’t have to withdraw. He had the support of the President-elect, and had an early start on the confirmation process.

Furthermore, the events of the last several days looked like a classic feint in football, soccer, basketball, etc. Introduce Gaetz, provoke Democrats – and RINOs – to apoplexy, then withdraw his name and introduce Pam Bondi instead. What would Gaetz get out of it? A seat in the Senate, after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) resigned to become Secretary of State.

But today he made abundantly clear that he does not want a seat in the Senate or the House. In an interview with Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, he said:

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.

https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1860011557968617736

He talked freely about the goals he’d had as a prospective Attorney General. This included ending the weaponization of government, including the Censorship Industrial Complex. But, he says, Pam Bondi can do that job at least as well as he could have done. She will also have an easier time winning Senate confirmation.

https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1860012133582311610

He probably hasn’t decided exactly what he will do. No doubt he recognized that he had to leave Congress, because he’d made too many enemies. But smoking out RINOs likely seemed his best revenge – and he will likely not stay in private life for long.

The past week, but especially the past twelve hours, has seen some surprising, and concerning, developments on the immigration front. Specifically, the Mayor of Denver, Colorado actually threatened to turn his city into a “fortress of resistance” against the very concept “illegal alien.” His is the most shocking declaration of non-cooperation with the anticipated “mass deportation” by returning President Donald J. Trump. Is the Mayor of Denver putting on a crazy dog-and-pony show? Or is the left preparing to fight a civil war to cling to their last chance at electoral success?

The players in a possible civil war

The American left, and members of it, official and civilian, have not taken the Election of 2024 results well. Ellen DeGeneres and her female intimate partner have already relocated to England. (In doing so, they became the first celebrities to follow through on threats to leave the country if Trump won.)

Celebrities aside, illegal aliens suddenly have many vocal sympathizers. Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.) said she will “stand up and protect Arizonans from harm by the federal government.” She seems to count illegal aliens present in Arizona as “Arizonans.” Senator-elect Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) charged that Donald Trump’s threatened use of military forces would be “used against American citizens.” He has not made clear what he means by that, if indeed he is doing more than indulging in unfounded speculation.

The President-elect did say on Monday that he will, if he must, declare a national emergency on immigration.

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113503150672865350

But Border Czar-designate Tom Homan denied that the military, or any other force, would “sweep … neighborhoods” or build vast camps to detain large numbers of people.

They’ll be targeted arrests. We’ll know who we’re going to arrest, where we’re most likely to find ‘em based on numerous, you know, investigative processes.

Tom Homan

Retired Deputy Border Patrol Agent J. J. Carrell testified before a House Oversight Subcommittee that President Joe Biden aided and abetted “the largest mass invasion into America the world has ever seen.” Cassandra MacDonald of The Gateway Pundit provided a partial transcript.

On his first day in office, I watched in horror as ninety-four Executive Orders cascaded down from Washington, D.C. obliterating every immigration policy that had provided the most secure border in America’s history. Border Patrol Agents were forced to carry out unconstitutional orders that violated every law in the Immigration and Nationality Act.

J. J. Carrell

No doubt that included orders to border-wall contractors to down tools and go home, leaving an unfinished wall.

By the action of DHS Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, President Biden was able to create policy out of thin air, ignoring federal immigration law, and facilitating the largest mass invasion into America that the world has ever seen.

Between one in six and one in seven residents in America is an illegal alien. America has suffered the greatest demographic shift in modern history. The fundamental transformation of America has begun.

I state, with complete certainty, that Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas intentionally, strategically, and purposely weaponized illegal immigration and used it as a tool to fundamentally transform America.

J. J. Carrell

https://x.com/JJCarrell14/status/1858976090641101149

https://x.com/JJCarrell14/status/1858977519036494296

By the numbers

MacDonald quoted Breitbart for more detailed figures:

U.S. Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies has found that under Biden and Mayorkas, the foreign-born population has reached an unprecedented 51.6 million as of March of this year.

The rise in the foreign-born population under Biden is equivalent to nearly two years of births in the U.S. and larger than the populations of 33 states.

And no doubt Gov. Hobbs and Senator-elect Gallego want that to continue, on the theory that they’ll vote reliably Democratic. President-elect Trump proposes to remove 10 million, starting with those who, having already broken the law to come to America, committed other crimes in America. They might include Jose Ibarra, who flew into America on one of Joe Biden’s charter flights. A Georgia court yesterday convicted him of rape and murder in the death of Laken Riley, a nursing student in Athens, Georgia, in February of this year. The prosecution asked only for life without the possibility of parole, and the court handed down that sentence.

They might also include an illegal alien arrested yesterday in New York City for robbing one of Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg’s assistant prosecutors.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) does not agree with using the military to handle deportations. He believes a “domestic police agency” should handle that job. Presumably that would be the uniformed force of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. He estimated that only 28,000 illegal aliens have committed crimes in-country beyond the crime of unlawful entry.

Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) has offered a 1400-acre tract of farmland in Starr County, Texas, for building a detention compound. He instructed Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham to write to President-elect Trump to convey that offer. Border Czar-designate Homan told Laura Ingraham yesterday that the Second Trump administration will accept that gift.

A fortress of resistance?

With 1400 acres for a detention facility, the mass deportation operation wouldn’t need detention facilities in any “blue” States. (“Red” States would cooperate far more readily.) But one “blue State” mayor has actually vowed to oppose the deportations – on a level of physical violence.

Mayor Mike Johnston (D-Denver, Colo.), in an interview with a local outlet, said he would use “city police and local volunteers” to block any attempt to arrest, detain, or transport illegal aliens out of his city or the State of Colorado. All that Trump had said was that he would defund any “sanctuary city.” But Mayor Johnston raised the stakes. He began by confidently asserting that Gov. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) would not let Trump call on the Colorado National Guard.

Unless they were planning on bringing national guards mobilized from Texas or Alabama to come invade Colorado, I don’t know where they would find the forces to begin to do that. And that seems to me like a very, very bad idea from start to finish that no reasonable American would support.

Did he just, a priori, call the family of Laken Riley “unreasonable”? But then he said worse:

More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there. It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them.

The problem is that everyone knows that Denver is home to several Venezuelan gangsters. George Behizy isn’t at all sure that the Denver Police would obey orders to protect that sort of person.

I bet every cop would disobey that soyboy's orders.

https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1859440025051562304

Mike Davis of the Article III Project pointed out sharply that the law would be on Trump’s side.

Conspiracy. Obstruction. Assault on federal officers. So many more very serious federal felonies.

https://x.com/mrddmia/status/1859447332284022789

Another user outlined how Mayor Johnston could face charges of Conspiracy Against Rights and Conspiracy to Defraud the United States. He pointed out that Denver residents who suffer when those Venezuelan gangsters commit crimes against them, might consider themselves oppressed.

https://x.com/algxtradingx/status/1859449065974669762

Anyone else game for civil war?

Apparently Mayor Johnston isn’t entirely alone in posturing for civil war against the Second Trump Administration. Gov. J. B. Pritzker (D-Ill.) said something similar, but far less detailed:

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Border Czar-designate Homan replied, in an interview with Turning Point’s Charlie Kirk:

Game on. We’ve got no problem going through him.

And in greater detail:

I’ve got 20,000 men and women in ICE who are going to do their job with no apology. Congress has enacted a law that protects this country. People need to understand… entering this country illegally is a crime. Every illegal alien in this country committed a crime to get here. So they’re all criminals.

And look, there’s some worse than others, I get that. And even if they’re not a criminal alien, when you cross that border and you overwhelm the border patrol… that’s when the fentanyl comes across to kill a quarter-million people. That’s when you have a 600% increase in sex trafficking. That’s when you have a record number of terrorists crossing the border. Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.

We’re gonna enforce the law without apology… and if any governor wants to stand in the way, go ahead and do it. We’ll see what happens. We’re not gonna be intimidated.

Gov. Pritzker – and Gov. Polis, and Mayor Johnston – might want to consider something else. Vice-President Kamala Harris carried both States with 54 percent of the vote – and that vote does not evenly distribute itself. Chicago is an island of blue in a sea of red – and Chicago residents are getting fed up with illegal aliens themselves. Denver is another island of blue in a sea of red. Texas National Guardsmen could cross the Oklahoma Panhandle – in House District 3, where Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) ran unopposed for reelection – and enter Colorado in Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) new District, which she won with 54 percent of the vote. Alabama National Guardsmen could land at DFW, or AMA (Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport) and stage from there. To say nothing of Unauthorized Colorado, Oklahoma, and/or Texas Militias.

Does the Mayor of Denver really think he can withstand siege in a leftist civil war? If so, it would indeed be “game on.” No doubt the irony that he, a leftist, and not President-elect Trump or any of his allies, called for civil war first, is lost on Mayor Johnston. And contrary to his opinion, the support would be on Trump’s side, not his.

Fifteen days have passed since the Election of 2024 made Donald J. Trump a President-elect once again. Those fifteen days have seen a demonstration of a profound effect – not quite universal, but still salutary – on public affairs. Call it the Trump Effect. This goes beyond the shocking series of unforced errors that not only let Trump win reelection, but also cost Democrats control of the Senate and stopped them from regaining control of the House of Representatives. Corrupt prosecutors, vindictive establishment politicians, and slanderous “journalists” are folding their tents in ways no one would have predicted. Rather than brazenly continuing their warfare, most of them are surrendering. Those who have not surrendered, have found friends and supervisors abandoning them. If the Trump Effect is real, it is the most stunning change-of-power in Western political history.

The Trump Effect turns off the lawfare

Recall that, as the election approached, Donald Trump had a conviction on his record, on an absurd thirty-four counts. Many have observed, despite the hectoring pontification of the prosecutor in that case, that no businessman except Donald Trump had ever faced such charges under the circumstances involved, or ever would face them. Still, Trump was facing sentencing in that case.

Tellingly, the judge in that case had postponed sentencing until after the election. This was the second such delay; earlier the judge had delayed sentencing from July 11 to September 18. That delay followed the U.S. Supreme Court’s Primer on Presidential Immunity.

Now that Trump has won reelection, Judge Juan Merchan has delayed sentencing indefinitely. He gave no explanation.

Nor is this all. The Department of Justice, and the Office of Special Counsel, have asked Judge Tanya S. Chutkan to vacate all briefing deadlines in their “January 6 case” against Trump. Furthermore, Special Counsel Jack Smith has asked the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to vacate deadlines in his appeal of Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s dismissal of the “Documents Case.” In fact they were evaluating filing motions-to-dismiss on all cases the day after the election. Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland say that “longstanding policy” against prosecuting sitting Presidents requires this action.

But they might have other motives. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the Department, after first demanding preservation of records. And now Department officials – and officials at the FBI – are hiring criminal defense attorneys.

Drama surrounding nominees

Last week, of course, Donald Trump announced his first round of nominees for Cabinet and other offices. They included Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as Attorney General, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. (Rep. Gaetz resigned from the House the next day. He sought to start the clock on a special election to succeed him in Congress, and thwart the release of some damaging information.) Both men have faced, and continue to face, serious attacks by those they threaten. Lee Fang today described the campaign by the junk food industry to vilify Kennedy. But two days ago, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) sounded the same alarms Kennedy is sounding, about American food.

For years I have been raising the alarm of the dangers of our current food system. We’re prioritizing corporations feeding us unhealthy products instead of family farmers growing fresh, healthy foods - and we let too many dangerous chemicals flood our food system. We all must come together to build a system that works for all.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.)

https://x.com/CoryBooker/status/1858493341416968617

https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1858500367115223482

That suggests Kennedy might have significant Democratic support in the Senate.

Matt Gaetz benefits from the Trump Effect

Matt Gaetz will have worse confirmation problems – or will he? True, thirty nominally Republican Senators, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), said, “No.” Worse, the House Ethics Committee surreptitiously released some information they thought would damage Gaetz. The information concerned allegations that he had been in appropriate with a girl, then 17 years old. Gaetz has consistently denied that anything of the sort occurred. Furthermore, the Justice Department declined to prosecute, in fear that their star witness would crack up on the stand. Nevertheless two other witnesses have their own attorney, who started hinting that he would keep those allegations alive.

But yesterday morning, Trump started calling Senators personally to urge their support for Gaetz. And before the day was out, the attack campaign against Gaetz started to unravel. Sunny Hostin, co-hostess on ABC’s The View, choked back her rage as she read aloud a disclaimer on the allegations. Today, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) publicly declared his support of Gaetz and told his fellow Republicans to knock it off. And by day’s end, the House Ethics Committee had voted against releasing any more information. But Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) threatened to blast the report out of that Committee with a privileged discharge motion. Nevertheless, one of those very witnesses now says Matt Gaetz will make a great Attorney General!

Behold the Trump Effect. Nothing else could explain what just happened in that Committee, or Sen. Graham’s change of attitude.

The Trump Effect on journalists

Sunny Hostin’s rage-choked reading of the disclaimer is only one example of the Trump Effect on journalists. Recall that MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski, and her husband Joe Scarborough, both have compared Trump to Hitler. In fact, Mika ranted and raved on the subject of Trump less than two weeks before the Election.

But over the weekend, the two met with Trump at his Mar-A-Lago club and estate. After that they said they’d take “a new approach” to their coverage of Trump. They likely did so on orders from Comcast executives, who are trying to sell MSNBC. (So far, they have no takers.) Megyn Kelly is not impressed, and the hostesses of The View are outraged.

Shortly before the Election, Ann Selzer of The Des Moines Register published a poll saying Vice-President Kamala Harris was leading Trump by 3 percent in Iowa. In fact, Trump carried Iowa by 13 percent. This caused great embarrassment for Ms. Selzer, who evidently couldn’t read her own crosstabs! She has since quit polling.

On election integrity and immigration

Not only did Trump carry Pennsylvania, but Republican David McCormick took the seat of Sen. Robert Casey (D-Pa.). After that, at least one Board of Election voted at least 2-1 to count mail-in absentee ballots lacking proper dates, signatures, or both. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court had already ruled such ballots illegal – but the Bucks County Board counted them anyway. One member, Diane-Ellis Marseglia, boasted of it.

We all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it.

Diane-Ellis Marseglia

The Pennsylvania Republican Party sued, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the Board to stop the illegal counts and remove any illegally counted ballots from the vote totals. After that, Ms. Meseglia claimed others took her remarks out of context. Activist Scott Pressler, who had gallivanted across the State registering new Republicans to vote, today led a group of protesters into the Board of Elections meeting. They demanded the immediate resignation of Meseglia and her fellow Democrats.

And on immigration, the Haitians are running out of Springfield, Ohio, as fast as they can run. They’re not waiting for the coming mass deportation! In fact, Trump said he would declare a national emergency, so he could use the military to deport people. Leftist officials, like Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.), refuse to cooperate. No matter, it seems. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) has offered 1400 acres on the Rio Grande Valley for building a deportation facility. Behold the Trump Effect writ large.

Summary

The Trump Effect is real, and apparently pervasive, at least for domestic issues. Donald Trump’s legal troubles seem to be over – and he has a strong jurist who will make an excellent appellate judge, and possibly a Justice of the Supreme Court, someday. He’ll get his nominees, no matter the controversy surrounding them, because he has momentum on his side. Journalists have effectively surrendered, clearly indicating that all their vituperative name-calling of Trump and his supporters was worse than exaggerated.

Stopping the illegal counting of faulty mail-in absentee ballots in Pennsylvania was a good start. (It should end in removal of those election commissioners from office, and eventually the abolition of voting by mail.) And Gov. Abbott’s offer of land to build a deportation facility will do more than solve the illegal immigration problem. This will dampen the enthusiasm in Texas for seceding from the Union. Doubtless the Texas Nationalist Movement will keep campaigning for that. They should – that’s how they will obtain a full redress of the many grievances the Biden-Harris administration has provoked. But one of the first moves new Attorney General Matt Gaetz should make, is to dismiss the cases his predecessor filed against Texas, and settle the cases Texas filed against the federal government.

Trump hasn’t even taken office, and already he has brought salutary change to America. He’ll bring even more such change when he assumes office.
