At the Pentagon Today, January 27th 2017, Vice President Mike Pence swore in Secretary of Defense James Mattis, followed by President Donald Trump signing executive actions concerning the military and immigration:
.
Rob O’Neil (the man who killed OBL) said of Mattis:
“General Mattis has a bear rug in his home, but it is not dead. It’s just afraid to move”.
“General Mattis has a bear rug in his home, but it is not dead. It’s just afraid to move”.
Funniest thing I’ve read in a long time…probably true too.

Amazing isn’t it. A true leader is in the White House nareley a week, and just look at what has been accomplished.
Powerful and intelligent men such Gen. Mattis have been appointed to very powerful cabinet positions. World leaders are treating your nation with the respect it deserves.
The MSM are acting like petchulant children.
Business and Union leaders have been consulted.
The Dems are a mess, and we have hardly heard Obama or HRCs names.
All this despite the utter ineptitude of Ryan and McConnel. Other RINOS and the terrible twins A.K.A McCain and Graham.
He truly is one incredible human being, that Pres. Trump.

We should all be grateful that Trump scouted and convinced so many magnificent persons of success and accomplishment to serve their countries. Especially those at or near retirement age. For many they could have honorably declined and continued living lives of well earned respect and leisure. After decades of success in their respective fields and contributing to the national cause no one would begrudge them if they chose to avoid the insanity spewed by the media and leftist.
But they all placed duty above personal comfort. And recognized the transformative impetus of Trump’s calling. It won’t be easy enduring the cynicism, but the Trump team are the most patriotic and selfless assemblage we have ever seen. Perhaps since the founding, though that may be stretching things to the extreme. But once they all get acclimated and roll up their sleeves to work we will see ‘winning’ even deeper and more profound than superficial observers can imagine.

I looked up the lyrics for those who can’t understand them:
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord, yeah
And these are the days of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
These are the days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!
Say, behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet’s call
Lift your voice, year of Jubilee
Out of Zion?s hill, salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming flesh
And these are the days of Your servant, David
Rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are all white in Your world
And we are the laborers that are in Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the Lord
Say, behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet’s call
Lift your voice, year of Jubilee
Out of Zion?s hill, salvation comes
Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet’s call
Lift your voice, year of Jubilee
Out of Zion?s hill, salvation comes
there’s no God like Jehovah!

I too am grateful that President Trump was elected. I agree he is setting a blistering pace in his dealings with everything and everyone. So far I like what I see. He will need all our support and vigilance. However, we must also be vigilant concerning him and the administration. We do not want our President to rule by executive order alone. Where appropriate it is fine but we want the checks and balances restored and the faithful adherence to the constitution.
IMO there are many demonic forces against him. He will need our prayers for his safety and we also need to pray for wisdom both in him and us.

DJT will use every tool at his disposal to repair or control the damage that has been allowed and encouraged during decades of treasonous leadership; as he absolutely should, in accordance with his solemn oath.
Congress will have PLENTY of opportunity to act in the nation’s best interest during the Trump administration. But, not until the hemorrhaging of American security and values is properly dealt with.
