Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Trump loves the Government Services Administration ... Thx Marge R!

The One Federal Agency Donald Trump Loves

It’s no secret that Donald Trump is not a fan of many federal agencies. He’s called the management of the Veterans Affairs Department “ absolutely unacceptable,” singled out the Education Department and Environmental Protection Agency as candidates for major cuts, and said he sees waste, fraud and abuse “all over the place” in federal operations.
But there’s one agency that Trump has repeatedly lauded: the General Services Administration.
The reason? It has to do, not surprisingly, with real estate -- specifically, with GSA picking Trump to renovate the Old Post Office Building in downtown Washington and turn it into a luxury hotel. Last month, Trump’s organization announced that the hotel would open in September, two years ahead of schedule. “It was an honor to have dealt with the professionals at the General Services Administration,” Trump said in announcing the opening. “It was their total passion and hard work that helped bring this unrivaled project to fruition.”
Trump sang the praises of GSA again Thursday at a rally in Portland, Maine. In touting his company’s work with GSA on the Old Post Office project -- which he characterized as “just about the hottest job that they’ve ever put out to bid” -- Trump said, “and by the way, the GSA people are terrific people.”
In his remarks, Trump noted that his bid for the project “was in the Obama administration, in all fairness. I wouldn’t say I had an advantage.”
In a blog post this week at FCW, Steve Kelman writes that he got a personal note from Trump when he raised that very issue in a previous post in June 2014. In many countries around the world, Kelman noted in his first post, it would be unthinkable for a political enemy of a sitting president to win such a significant contract. Trump sent Kelman a marked-up printout of the post, thanking him “for the nice words” and saying it would be “EASY” to beat the deadline for the project.
