https://tunnel2towers.org/The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Copyright & Fair Use Statement I hereby assert that the purpose of this blog is educational/informative in matters of politics and faith. There is no commercial purpose to this blog. There is no revenue generated from any material posted here. I am not in competition with any news source, including any other on-line journal, and I have no interest in interfering with any person’s ability to earn an income as an author, journalist, photographer, or artist. This website contains some quotations and excerpts from copyrighted material. These uses fall well within the copyright doctrine of “Fair Use.” Section 107 of the United States Code, Title 17, specifies the conditions under which, “the fair use of a copyrighted work . . . for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching . . ., scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” It provides four considerations for determining fair use: (1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) The nature of the copyrighted work, (3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work. The use on this website of other material involves “criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship or research” (a) The “purpose and character” of the website is not “commercial.” (b) The overwhelming majority of the material is the author’s own research and work. It is in no way a mere collection of others’ copyrighted works, nor is any material competitive with those sources. (2) The “nature of the copyrighted work” quoted is often “news” or “faith,” categories given lesser protection in fair use cases than works of fiction. (3) Most uses involve excerpts rather than entire works. Because the adverse financial impact on copyright owners is central to the purpose of copyright law, and the analysis of alleged violations, it’s relevant to note that, under factor (4), (a) no one in search of the quoted material would substitute this blog or book for the original source, (b) it is highly unlikely this website (or any material created from it) will ever have more than a de minimis impact on any of the copyright works’ potential market, and (c) to the extent it might do so, it would be far more likely be a positive, rather than a negative, impact (by drawing attention to the work, crediting it, and providing a source where it may be found). Finally, to the extent any copyright owner may wish, consideration will be given to all reasonable requests that copyright material be removed from this website. I will always endeavor to provide proper attribution to the source of another person’s work if I know it. If I do not know the source of incorporated work, I will state “source unknown.” I will happily credit any previously unknown source if their identity is made known to me in “blog comments.” -GeeeZ

B’lieve I’d rather see Newt on SCotUS and Bolton as SecState. Certainly wouldn’t object to Newt in any high-level capacity, but both he and Cruz belong on the court rather than in political or international hoohahs.
Pirro is a confrontationalist and clearly anti-anything left of William F. Buckley. She’s a prosecutor by nature, not a jurist. Ditto for Napolitano: prefers discussin to decidin.
Clarke is sharp enough to be FBI Director, and I’d have no quarrel with him in almost any job related to keeping the barbarians outside the gate and thugs off the streets.
Not sure West is completely ready for a job that big, but I can think of a whole lot who’d do worse than he would.
Giuliani’s gettin pretty slow these days. Not sure his mind is as sharp as it was just a few years ago. Gettin a slight whiff of late-term Reagan from him. He’s earned the job, but not confident he’s up to it any more.
And there’ always been somethin about Pence that just don’t seem completely kosher. Can’t put my finger on it . . . a kinda gut-feelin thing. Absolutely no comparison, tho, with Citizen Kaine and his vast notions based on half-vast ideas. Pence is obviously the moderator, the safety valve, the mature adult for a Trump administration, but . . . he bugs me somehow. Not as much as Gropey Joe or Pope Algore, tho — kinda like Cheney bothered me but I never could nail down whatever loose flap there was with him.
Oh, well . . . we’re all flawed humans. Like me, for instance: I’ve been wrong before. I clearly remember a rainy spring day ‘long ’bout 1956 when I thought I’d made a bad decision on somethin, but I was mistaken. Think it had somethin to do with a girl who tasted all right but had a rotten core that nearly confused me for a while. Myra — that was her name. She liked shiny things.

Ed, I’m not a Hannity fan anymore and I’m not sure he could take that HEAT…on the other hand, he WOULD drive the lib news people MAD with his posturing and what I call his “doggie with the pant leg…” chewing and NEVER letting go of the SAME THING..OVER AND OVER AGAIN. They’d get NOTHING out of him but constant unending sycophantic love of Trump as the response to EVERY question. Trump would LOVE that, I’m sure.
Bocopro: I get the same feeling about Pence, but try to ignore it because I think he’s mostly a good guy. But i have to say your comparison to Cheney brought Pence UP in my estimation because while Cheney’s been a little enigmatic, I have always trusted him COMPLETELY. I haven’t seen what you describe in Giuilani but will check it out next time I see him.

Re Pence/Cheney:
My younger son told me, and both his sisters tend to agree, that what bothers me most about Cheney is that he’s too much like me in too many ways. My older daughter (Elizabeth, or Liz) went so far as to remind me that not only was he born within hours of me but has a daughter named Liz.
My other daughter added that we’re both deliberate and considerate but irascible old bastards who suspect everybody of everything all the time.
Guess I raised my kids with a touch too much candor and honesty. I don’t “suspect” people; I just believe that most of ’em often bear close watchin.

Finally, Newt would do well in some sort of an advisory capacity (think a modified version of Chief of Staff).

Hillary can say whatever she wants but I think at this point, everything that comes out of her mouth is seen as lie. When reading Twitter responses to her, you clearly see she’s lost the social media and perception battle this week. Trump has done something that not many people have done before: take over the emotion of people. Usually that’s the monopoly of the left. And for that, I applaud him. It’s a lesson the GOP needs to learn for the years to come.

I’ll go with bocopro, mostly, on this one. None of the Fox News characters are what I want on the cabinet. Well, I think Trey Gowdy is absolutely super and would make a great attorney general. He’s not in the picture, but I believe Christ Christie would do great. Or, how about Christie for Secretary of State? We need someone really kick-ass and Chris fills that bill. The EPA needs a strong person to empty that cavern of snakes, and maybe Herman Cain could take care off that little problem. So, how about Homeland Security? We have a great candidate named Carlie Fiorina, who could wade into that mess and manage to not only build the wall in record time, but she is just the person to manage that so-called impossible immigration problem. She is an extraordinary manager.
Secretary of Defense? Unfortunately, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, two of the very best this nation has ever had, are a bit long in the tooth. General Jack Keane always impresses me as a Fox News military analyst, but I don’t know of any of those hundreds of retired and active generals that might fill the job.
Commerce? How about Carlie Fiorina. She is smart and knows how to negotiate.
