Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham is weighing an offer to bePresident-elect Donald Trump's White House press secretary, but sights on a greater role might be holding her up, Politico reported Friday. 

A source told Politico she would like a role larger than being the media liaison. She would like to affect policymaking, too, according to the report.

Politico also named Fox News analyst Monica Crowley as a candidate for the White House press secretary post, citing a source inside "Trump's inner circle."

Ingraham has said she is "honored to be considered."

"It's a big decision, but I'm at the point where, if my country needs me, and if I can do something to actually, you know, advance the Trump agenda, which is stuff I have written about now for 15 years – with trade, immigration and just renewing America – then I obviously have to seriously consider that," Ingraham told Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Nov. 14.

Dismissing God in America ... Thx Traudi and Sarah R!

I saw this interview with Ben Stein and feel that the following commentary bears merit and should be disseminated. Hope you all read it! Traudi

 

The  following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him  on CBS 
Sunday Morning  Commentary.
 My  confession:
I don't like getting pushed around for  being a 
Jew, and I don't think Christians like  getting pushed around for 
being  Christians.  I think people who believe in God 
are  sick and tired of getting pushed around,  period. I have no
idea where the concept came from,  that America is an explicitly 
atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like
it  being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from 
that we  should worship celebrities and we aren't  allowed to
worship God  as we understand  Him?  I guess that's a sign
that I'm  getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who 
are  wondering where these celebrities came from  and where the
America we knew went to.

In  light of the many  jokes we  send to one  another for a laugh, this is a
little  different:  This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you 
thinking.
   

      
 In  light of recent events--terrorists attacks, school  shootings, etc. I think
it started when Madeleine  Murray O'Hare (she  was murdered, her
body found  a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in 
our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you  better not read the
Bible in school .
      
 The  Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal,  and love your neighbor
as yourself.  And we  said  OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we  shouldn't spank our  children when
they  misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and
we might damage their self-esteem  (Dr.  Spock's son committed
suicide).  We  said an expert should  know what he's
talking  about.  And we said  OK.
     

 Now  we're asking ourselves why our children have no  conscience, why they don't
know right from wrong, and  why it  doesn't bother them to kill
strangers,  their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if  we think about it long and hard  enough, we can  figure
it out. I think it has a great deal to do with,  'WE REAP WHAT WE
SOW.'

Funny how simple it  is  for people to trash God and then wonder why 
the world's going to  hell. Funny how we believe  what the
newspapers say, but  question what the  Bible says.  Funny
how you can send  'jokes'  through e-mail and they spread like
wildfire, but  when  you start sending messages regarding
the  Lord, people think  twice about sharing.   Funny
how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles  pass freely through
cyberspace, but public discussion  of God is suppressed in the school
and  workplace.

Are you laughing yet?
Funny how when you forward  this message,  you will not send it to many on your
address list  because you're not sure what they believe, or what 
they will  think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more  worried about  what other people think of us than what
God  thinks  of us.

Pass it on if you think it  has merit.
  
If not, then just  discard it. No one will know you did. But, if you  discard this thought
process, don't sit  back and  complain about what bad shape the world is  in. 

My Best Regards,
Honestly and  Respectfully,

Ben  Stein

 

Thanksgiving through the Years ... Thx Heritage Foundation!

Nov. 24, 2016
Happy Thanksgiving! The Daily Signal team hopes you and your family and friends have a wonderful celebration today. We're certainly grateful for all of our readers. Gratitude to God for the blessings bestowed on our nation is a long-standing American tradition. The Heritage Foundation's Lee Edwards walks us through the history of Thanksgiving. We'll be back on Monday.
COMMENTARY Thanksgiving Through the Years George Washington was first in war, first in peace, and in November 1789, the first president to proclaim a national day of thanksgiving, openly acknowledging God as the source of all "the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us." Among the "favors" were a Declaration of Independence that inspires us to the present day, a remarkable military victory over the most powerful nation in the world, and an ingenious Constitution of checks and balances that places "we the people" at the center of our government. For the next fourscore and seven years, most states honored a November date as a day of prayer and fasting, but there was no national celebration. Of the early presidents, only James Madison, in 1814 and 1815, issued proclamations. Then in November 1863, with the Civil War still raging, President Abraham Lincoln officially declared the last Thursday of November to be Thanksgiving. Echoing Washington, Lincoln asked Americans to "implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the divine purposes, to the full employment of peace, harmony, tranquillity, and union." God heard the people's prayers for an end to war and the preservation of the Union, but He had yet to vouchsafe a "full" employment of harmony and tranquility. Succeeding presidents issued proclamations in the same providential spirit of Lincoln and Washington, freely thanking God for His favors and benefits. In 1904, for example, President Theodore Roosevelt said that "the time has come [again] when a special day shall be set apart in which to thank Him, who holds all nations in the hollow of His hand, for the mercies thus vouchsafed to us." In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge said that Americans should "devoutly give thanks to the Almighty for the many and great blessings they have received, to seek His guidance that they may receive a continuance of His favor." However, with the election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the coming of secular progressivism, God was given an increasingly secondary role while the "civic spirit" of America was extolled. "May we on Thanksgiving Day and on every day," said FDR in the middle of World War II, careful not to use the "G" word, "express our gratitude and zealously devote ourselves to our duties as individuals and as a nation." President John F. Kennedy also skirted the word "God," calling on Americans to "renew that spirit [of Thanksgiving] by offering our thanks for uncovenanted mercies, beyond our desert or merit, and by resolving to meet the responsibilities placed upon us." Faithful to his progressive roots, President Barack Obama declared in his 2012 Thanksgiving proclamation that "we are a people who draw our deepest strength not from might or wealth but from our bonds to each other" (but not, apparently, to a transcendent being). As he did in so many ways, President Ronald Reagan broke sharply with the progressives, taking inspiration from Washington and Lincoln and reemphasizing the religious character of Thanksgiving. Quoting the 1863 Thanksgiving proclamation, Reagan said that "no human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God." Reagan went on: "God has blessed America and her people, and it is appropriate we recognize this bounty." Thanksgiving has always been rooted in the notion, wrote commentator Daniel Horowitz, "that as a nation, our entire prosperity, security, and liberty is completely dependent upon God's providence." So on this Thanksgiving Day in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen, let us give thanks and thanks and ever thanks to Him who gives us life, liberty, and happiness. Share This Story

Our God remains in Control of the universe! SamKat

Our God remains in control of the universe!

I want to give thanks that throughout our history of walking on this earth, God has remained in control.  The gift of Jesus Christ our savior, is the greatest present of the universe and Jeanie and I have gratuitously accepted it.

Thank you, God!

Mother Superior's Last Wish ... Thx Dr. RTalph H!

 A NUN AND SOME WARM MILK

Ireland - the 99-year-old Mother Superior lay quietly. She was dying.

The Nuns had gathered around her bed, laying garlands around her and trying to make her last journey comfortable. They wanted to give her warm milk to drink but she declined. One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen. Then, remembering a bottle of Irish Whiskey that had been received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.

Back at Mother Superior's bed, they lifted her head gently and held the glass to her lips. The very frail Nun drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had finished the whole glass down to the last drop.

As her eyes brightened, the nuns thought it would be a good opportunity to
have one last talk with their spiritual leader..

"Mother," the nuns asked earnestly, "Please give us some of your wisdom
before you leave us"

She raised herself up very slowly in the bed on one elbow, looked at them and
said: "DON'T SELL THAT COW."

A smile - is a sign of joy.
A hug - is a sign of love.
A laugh - is a sign of happiness.
And a friend like you? - Well that's just a sign of good taste!!
