Trump Breaks Glass Ceiling -- November 8, 2024

Locator: 48735B.

California: says it all.

COS: Trump getting a lot of kudos for his chief of staff selection. Trump broke the glass ceiling.

Morning television: has now become much more challenging. I used to watch only CNBC. Now, I watch Morning Joe, The View, LiveNow from Fox, Mornings With Maria B. At midnight I catch up on the daily news watching SkyNews.  I'm going to have to add a fourth screen: I have three -- but will now need a fourth.

RBN Energy: hydrogen's unique properties make using natural gas infrastructure a difficult task.

One of the biggest challenges to a significant expansion of the commercial hydrogen market in the U.S. is the lack of a comprehensive transportation network. That has spurred interest from utilities, government agencies and others interested in utilizing or repurposing parts of the existing (and extensive) natural gas infrastructure to ship hydrogen. But that approach comes with some challenges, starting with the significant differences in the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen and methane, the main component of natural gas. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll explain why moving hydrogen on the existing natural gas network — then storing and utilizing it — is no easy feat.

President-Elect Selects Susie Wiles For Chief Of Staff -- Another First -- Second Most Powerful Position In The World? November 7, 2024

Counterintuitive: the best thing with regard to the Trump phenomenon? That "gap year." Or rather, the "four-year-gap." It gave him four years to prepare for his second term. This will turn out to be huge for him and his administration.

Still the most fun I'm having: Sky News.com.au, lefties losing it.  Gutfeld!

US Senate, is it now 53 - 45? With two uncalled -- Nevada and Arizona? Link here.


White House, US president's chief of staff: first female for this post ever in the history of the US; appointed by President-elect Trump. Susie Wiles with an incredible resume. Probably the second most important position in the US, after POTUS.

"Fed chair": can only be removed "for cause." A bit unclear who can remove the "Fed chair" "for cause." So, already that's an issue for the press. Current "Fed chair" was originally appointed by President-elect Trump.  

The first "influencer" election: won by Trump. Perhaps most powerful, Joe Rogan. As folks may remember, Kamala Harris unable to fit a 3-hour podcast into her busy schedule. Link here.
