The Political Page, T+32 -- February 21, 2017

Trump appointments: the US Senate is on track to have all of President Trump's appointments confirmed by the first day of his second term. Ben Carson may be confirmed next week.

Cash horde: Republican National Committee sets records with almost $20 million in January, 2017 -- the best post-election fundraising month in RNC history. And no campaigning by President Trump as far as I know. By the way, can anyone name any US Democratic senators other than Schumer? Any US Congressional reps other than Pelosi and Maxine? Not only is it tough to name any Dems, have we even heard much from them?

RNC chairwoman: Ronna Romney McDaniel. Previously married to G. Scott Romney, brother of Mitt Romney.

The Trump Reality Show: visits the African-American History Museum; his wife visited last week. Ivanka on stage with her dad. Second sitting president to visit; Obama attended the opening.

Prescient: on Saturday, February 18, 2017, Trump talked about the unrest among Muslim immigrants in Sweden. Not only accurate, but also prescient: last night another episode of unrest with looting and cars set on fire in Sweden.

Ukraine: interestingly, the only place I find a story about rising casualties in eastern Ukraine, and the question being asked whether Putin is testing Trump is over at Fox News. This story was not in The Los Angeles Times on quick look. 

Make America Smell Great Again, and, yes, I will be ordering a bottle for a gift:
