The art of peaceful transition has apparently taken a backseat in the latest episode of “As the Swamp Turns.” President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team recently reported that several of his Cabinet nominees have been targeted with bomb threats and something called “swatting.” For those who aren’t familiar, swatting involves notifying law enforcement of a fake emergency situation at someone’s house, which elicits a major police response that can only be described as overly dramatic, and, unsurprisingly, dangerous.
While the specific nominees under threat were not disclosed, they are fortunate to have emerged unscathed amidst this chaos. In a world where political opponents are willing to stoop to intimidating tactics, it looks like the only thing that might be in greater supply than strong Conservative values is a heavy dose of liberal lunacy. Thankfully, the authorities responded swiftly—no thanks to the usual suspects, who seem more interested in stirring the pot than keeping peace. Golden handlers for the incoming administration comment that safety remains a top priority, all while contemplating a Senate confirmation process that promises to be more contentious than a dogfight at a cat show.
Among those targeted was Brooke Rollins, tapped to lead the agriculture department. With the nerves of a champ, she credited local law enforcement in Fort Worth for their quick reaction to what they’ve dubbed “dangerous acts of intimidation.” Talk about putting the artistry in agriculture! The true irony? The left, always lecturing about safety and community, seem more interested in using intimidation tactics to disrupt the incoming administration’s work.

The FBI has stated they are on high alert regarding these threats, indicating that even the folks in blue seem to recognize that the far-left isn’t above theatrics, particularly when it comes to thwarting democracy in action. The rising tide of politically motivated harassment appears not to be stopping anytime soon as Trump continues to fill out his Cabinet with nominees who actually have a vision for America. Yet, what’s more shocking is that one particular nominee had to withdraw from consideration due to Senate pushback, cementing the notion that the swamp was not only deep—it’s also resistant to change.
As Trump and his team strive to unite the nation for a safe and prosperous future, one thing rings clear: intimidation will not cut it anymore. Volume may increase in the chorus of chaos produced by those who fear change, but the chant of unity from the Trump transition team drowns out the noise. The new administration remains steadfast in their resolve to confront these threats head-on, reinforcing that America will not back down to the juvenile antics of the opposition. In a game where the stakes are high, it seems Trump’s team is all too ready to play ball.
