Nice contrast with all of the terrible news coming out of Hollyweird to hear about these two women appointed to decision-making spots by the Trump administration :)

These all seem to be solid picks with a purpose.

Improve effective and efficient use of taxpayer dollars.

Cut ineffective and ill-conceived programs, departments, and regulations.

Most likely undoing the damage Obama did when he created a commission with the same name in 2016:

Too bad. The "Peace Corps" should be disbanded.

An Obama creation, the Commission on Native Children applies to the children of downtrodden tribal members who cannot seem to feed their children on the boat loads of cash the ruling tribal families rake in. This is supposed to make you feel weepy and ready to open your wallet to these otherwise well-fed kids who are so stricken with hunger that their parents cannot leave the reservation where drugs and alcohol flow freely. Getting a job is just too difficult. 13 year old Mr. Cory ('s Cookies) would have a few words with them (coming from a downtrodden single mother black 'family' to a near millionaire).

Something else that should be abolished.

Sh** is about to get real at the EPA.

The new EPA administrator sounds terrific.

She’s a KPMG king of financial audits!

That’s what need: find all the places money is being wasted and inappropriately used.

Then we can eventually whittle the agency down to a skeleton crew of true environmental watchdogs instead of a politically driven haven to support DemoRat donors and whacko professors looking for grant money.

Just read through the list - they all look very qualified for the positions, and not like they’re just campaign donors being rewarded.

At this point private Christian mission groups who go to developing countries to build houses and dig wells probably do far more good than the Peace Corps.
