Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..

Like an Afghan once said “ Are there any Men left in Washington “ ? No !

[MNDrummer]

We need a great government purge starting with the State Department and Pentagon. They need to be gutted from top to bottom. We need this government purge on the local, state, and federal levels of government. We have allowed government to grow incremental for far too long and our elected leaders have taken many unconstitutional actions without us ever pushing back. This is our fault. We now need to correct this. We have slept for far too long.

Blinken is a bright man but I am 80 years old and have seen American failure too many times. Vietnam, Afgahnistan and Iraq are third world countries, yet US failed. Thus I have become a scheptic old man.

[joshuamcgraw]

I am very confused, isn't withdrawing from Afghanistan what almost everyone wanted to do? Very sad about the troops but it isn't like they call in suicide bomber threats before hand...

[mathurex]

Man, not even Hilary Clinton has a worse record than Blinken so far.

In case you haven't heard... God so loved the world He gave His son Jesus that whoever believes in Jesus will have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please believe and repent from your sin today. Dont be left behind.

It's not as if Republicans could have done better.

[granduck]

How in the world did this guy make to Secretary of State. He is very weak

[thomwessels]

Winken Blinken is as poor at lying as CarrotFlop! He's a carboard cutout of an
actual human and he brings the very same 'fire' to the fore that his Potato does.

[rarrafunfitness]

He doesn't care ..not his kids fighting
