Interesting. I hope it works out. But as O'Reilly said,"Hegseth will just be a facilitator of Trump policy,not a policymaker himself."

McConnell,who hates Trump,voted against Hegseth also--which threw it into a tiebreaker vote.

Time to investigate McConnell's ties with Communist China.
KRISI NOEM CONFIRMED AS HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
GRA:The department seems redundant,just another government agency that lies a lot or says nothing of use.
(ZH)The Senate on Saturday confirmed Kristi Noem as President Donald Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security, meaning that the South Dakota governor will be in charge of a massive agency established after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and has since had a long record of civil liberties and civil rights abuses.
Noem was confirmed by a final vote of 59-34. Of note, the Trump ally who is in her second term as governor received support from several Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee when it voted 13-2 to advance her nomination earlier in the week. Republicans have also expressed confidence in Noem's ability to lead border security and immigration enforcement, AP reports.
