You are right on Ren!! I don't know what PIC means? Politically inappropriate statements? I think that's it, so yes, they twist things, but at the same time, I think it's good he is starting to use a teleprompter for speeches, but I pray he never stops talking from his heart, and I don't think there is any chance of him ever becoming a puppet. I think why so many that are very much like myself, understand losing our tempers, and the older I get the more I may blurt things out I shouldn't. But I also know that when I do that, and I think Mr. Trump is like this as well, that we don't mean it how it comes out. I think the proof is in our actions. Trump has friends of all kinds, works with people of all kinds, he tends to like people, but not always what they do, their actions. The press "owners" at least, can be taken down too. I don't know any stats, but I'd like to see how many folks have all but stopped watching the news channels that are obviously biased. I still think Fox is my only chance at getting the real stories, eventually, since I don't have cable. But I don't trust any of them seeing as how they have to answer to their "owners" or lose their jobs
seems after being targets for Obama and Hillary minds have been changed The horror of Sunday's terrorist attack in Orlando at a gay nightclub has sent shockwaves throughout the LGBT community and forced many to change their support from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump. source "I'm shaken, I'm a mess, I'm broken, but I've never been more determined for a leader to actually take charge and make a change, how do i get started. How do I help this man lead us into a safer country?" 4yyyy wrote.
Yes indeed @Denise Happyfeet! Although in the recent past the two positions have been contested, the chaplains of the house and senate still exist today. I believe that the record breaker is that a Seventh Day Adventist now holds the position in the senate. Record breaker you ask? Normally it has been the main stream denominations such as Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans etc. which have held the office. I had a couple of questions about the chaplaincy so I looked up a nice easy read for myself, you and others to enjoy. http://chaplain.house.gov/chaplaincy/ChaplainHistoryCRS.pdf Sorry @Ken Anderson, no Ana-Baptists yet so far as I have seen. Maybe the next time one of these guys retire you can put in a bid. The chaplains knock down between 140K-150K a year! That'd buy a lot of band width!
Peter Marshall was Chaplain of US Senate (1947-49) The book & movie "A Man Called Peter"was based on his life.
The latest controversy about Trump's responses to Obama's speech being ticked off and cross at the Republican nominee instead of being angry at the radical Islamic terrorist murderer in Orlando. Trump renews his call, strongly and unashamedly, for temporary ban on muslims from entering U.S. The video below covers: Refugee Problem, Clinton Foundation, and Orlando.
And that book plus many other great ones were written by Peter Marshall's wife, Catherine Marshall. Right now I am rereading her book "The Helper" which is about the Holy Spirit.
After the attack in Orlando, I'm seeing people standing up and being more vocal, and that includes those who would have otherwise been silent, in the hope of not having to become involved in controversy. I'm seeing more gays embracing Trump, also, as well as embracing the 2nd Amendment and the right to carry. Despite the agenda promoted by many in the press and leading LGBT organizations, there are conservative gays and also ones who believe in carrying weapons and protecting themselves. I think if Donald Trump weren't running, we possibly wouldn't be hearing from those people, but because he has spoken, he's given them permission to express their less popular opinions. I don't know how many support these stickers / flags or who is placing them, but apparently they're appearing in areas with a high presence of gay people, in the wake of the Orlando attack.
I do believe like you @Diane Lane that Trump's speaking up and out...is helping others "voice" what they are feeling about everything too. What I don't know is whether Trump can really do anything about the things he says he wants to change or not. Hillary will definitely give us more of what we have had since Obama has been in Office and we certainly don't need more of that! Yet, I wonder if Trump will be able to accomplish anything even if he becomes our President...if the Democrats and Republicans won't work with him either. Basically, I think that is why Obama signed so many Executive Orders...because he couldn't get the House or Senate to work with him. They might work with Hillary, but it will not be for the good of America. This is definitely an Election year that will go down in History...but will America go"down" with it? That's what I wonder about.
In some ways what you are saying is what many, many of us fear: A presidential / congressional split. But, here is the key to all of the turmoil behind Obama's rule. Joe Biden presides over the senate and as of the last election Paul Ryan is the speaker and presides over the House. Previously, we had Joe Biden (VP) Harry Reed (senate majority leader) and until 2011 the speaker was none other than Nancy Pelosi and then John Boener. Now, here we have the 3 head Dems under Obama regulating what will and what will not go to the Oval Office. Obama made some fusses about congress not cooperating with him which was pretty much good theater but nothing more because Biden, Reed and Pelosi were all in bed with him. Until the Republicans became the majority the Dems gave Big B the power to do whatever he wanted without going through the rigors of congressional approval. Harry Reed, with the approval of Biden and the Pres held up over 350 bills passed by the House of Representatives and with the exception of the gigantic omnibus bill during Christmas time of 2015 few bills have gone on for a signing by the president of the United States because of the Senate Leader (Biden) and his turkeys. In short, Obama does not want to be bothered by anything coming from the republican representational floor but simply does his theatrical hizzy fits and blame game to impress the general populous. In actuality, everything is the way he wants it and the icing on the cake this time is the Orlando Massacre. Now he can really amp up the deletion or at least a partial deletion of the second amendment with the approval of the head of the senate...Joe Biden.
So glad someone has a head for how things have been working and can post the specifics. As far as I'm concerned, O was put in office for a specific purpose. He was quite clear and open about that purpose, to fundamentally transform America, and he's definitely done that, and not for the better. I still hear people saying how naive he is, stupid, etc., but that's not what I believe. I believe he knows exactly what he's doing, and this transformation has been in the works for quite a while. I'm finally hearing people speaking out about how he has weakened our military, but that's been going on for years. If we had a real press, they would have been pointing these things out all along, but they're bought and paid for, just like many, if not most of our politicians, and aren't working for the betterment of our country or its citizens.
I also just heard that Trump fired his campaign manager so I'll have to catch up on that. I figure he didn't get where he is making HUGE mistakes, so I am just figuring he had a good reason. I hope, LOL!!
That's the book I wanted to read Babs, and exactly why I asked the question here Small world sometimes Thank you for the further info on the books. I will start the one today that I first found. A Man Called Peter denise
