Staff Reports
In the latest display of common sense and strategic foresight, President-elect Donald Trump is assembling a Cabinet that’s far more suited for real-world challenges than a lifetime spent shuffling paperwork in bureaucratic offices. This time around, Trump has made some notable selections, including people who actually know how to get things done in the private sector and public service—not just political insiders with an impressive collection of “Save the Date” cards.
Among the impressive recruits is Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Energy. His inclusion signals that the Twitter-happy defense of traditional energy sources isn’t just hot air; it’s part of a broader strategy to make America energy independent again. With gas prices skyrocketing and environmentalists throwing tantrums, having someone at the helm who understands the nitty-gritty of the energy sector seems like a rational move for once.

Next on the roster is North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who knows a thing or two about managing a state and has made waves in the energy debate. This former tech guy turned politician understands the intersection between innovation and regulation, likely leading to policies that stimulate growth instead of stifling it. His appointment is just what is needed to yank the endlessly dripping government faucet off and turn on the spigot of progress in the energy sector.
From New York comes the notable Lee Zeldin, a former Congressman who has shown an unwavering commitment to conservative values in recent years. His track record and experience will help ensure that eastern policies align with the more pragmatic approach needed in energy matters. By picking Zeldin, Trump is making it clear that he values skill over status quo; it’s about time we stop promoting people based solely on their ability to play the Washington game and start focusing on results.
Adding to this brain trust is Linda McMahon, former WWE CEO, who brings an uncommon flair to the role of education secretary. McMahon has been vocal about her vision for reshaping education, prioritizing outcomes over aggrandizing teachers’ unions. And as if that wasn’t enough to raise eyebrows, Dr. Mehmet Oz, a household name in health and wellness, will lead the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Perhaps this signifies a fresh approach to the tangled web of healthcare regulations that have plagued ordinary Americans for decades.
Trump’s Cabinet picks, emerging from both the business world and direct political experience, offer a refreshing break from the drudgery of traditional bureaucratic appointments. This seems to be a clear message: competence is in, and bloated government inefficiency is out. It’s time for America to embrace leaders who have made real contributions outside of the echo chamber of Washington, and these selections are a promising indication that Trump intends to do just that.
