President Trump's Wormwood Cabinet


They arrived into their appointments like brilliant silvery green foliage.  And now, three of the most powerful women in America have left a bitter taste in our mouths.  Moving into positions with practically unlimited power, they traded their enviable positions for disgrace on departure.  The first, for common mugwart (Artemisia vulgaris)  the second, for not recognizing the toxicity of wormwood,  and the third, for absinthe.

Kristi Noem - a woman who bragged about putting down a dog that would not hunt - was put in charge of the biggest hunt of all.  It seems more likely that her biggest hunt was for personal enrichment and the American dollar.  And whilst pursuing her fortune, her mentally ill spouse was left to explore fetish sites and post images of himself with large balloons stuffed under his shirt.  Because of her position, Kristi Noem became a security risk - vulnerable to blackmail.

"Grandmother,  what a big nose you have!  And why is one of your nostrils so asymmetrical to the other?"

Attorney General Pam Bondi, did not perform with the due diligence (demanded by the taxpayers) in dealing with Jeffrey Epstein; a man practically considered a celebrity celestial being until the wickedness of this prince of darkness was uncovered. He struck the earth with his madness... and with plenty of help from his friends.  Ms. Bondi became his final  victim - alongside the many little girls whom he trafficked to powerful men within corridors of commerce and government. 

Secretary of Labor, Lori Chavez De-Remer probably drank too much vermouth (hence the reference to wormwood).   But she also committed adultery.  In the workplace.  With a staff member.  It was an easily winnable game of "Clue" for the public. She traded her position for trivialities.

I am a traditional wife and mother who is an ardent feminist.  And the latter role can be collapsed into free moral agency.  I believe men and women are equal regarding free moral agency and their pursuit of  education, goals, pleasure, hobbies, and personal enrichment.   But President Trump's Wormwood Cabinet has left a bitter taste in my mouth.  Just give me Scott Bessent.  He presents as the consummate professional.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
