There are those that should eat a light breakfast this morning and have a box of antacids available for heartburn.

As a good Christian, Pompeo will know this:

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

– Proverbs 28:13

“Sondland will testify Wednesday in one of the most highly-anticipated hearings of the inquiry yet.”

Here’s hoping we’re not disappointed although I have a feeling this won’t be a straightforward Vindman accounting.

Not to worry, there’s a verse in scripture to affirm this as well.

of course you know that you are assuming facts not in evidence

I am taking great delight in Pompeo becoming hopelessly entangled in this mess, much as Ahab found himself lashed to the whale.
