Women in Combat v-a-v the new Defense Secretary

[Traveler]

It is most likely that morality as a necessity for civic leadership would exclude just about everybody in the entire history of our nation.  The divine law of chastity is not well respected in religious communities with the exception of LDS culture – and we have had our problems here as well.

And yet it is my understanding that we do not condemn others for their sins.  But they are to be held accountable before G-d.  That we should look for our leaders to be honest and just.  Joseph Smith taught that those that will not admit their sins are not repentant of their sins.

At this point I am inclined to look to those who are willing to do what they have promised to do and are honest about what they are doing.  I do not want individuals nor political parties in power that say our border is secure when they have enacted policies to make it not secure.  This can be applied to all facets of government.  I have great difficulty in supporting those that are obviously not doing what they said they would do and are not transparent with what they are doing and intend to do.

I realize humans are flawed so it is best to expect and support the best possible.  I really dislike our current politics that amounts to trying to keep the worst from power.   I have great difficulty thinking that what is currently proposed possible could possibly be worse than what has been.

Whelp, Elon retweeted someone complaining about the dumbest and fakest jobs.   One of them is a "director of climate diversification" at the U.S. International Development Finance Corp.  And now poor Ashley somebody (the person who holds that office) has gone viral for existing and now appears on memes.  

The media'll be pushing about how horrible Elon is for setting millions of his followers against random govt employees.  But if it's ok with everyone, I'll be more outraged that my tax dollars fund a "director of climate diversification", and less outraged that Ashley somebody might need to delete her online social media presence.   Both are issues.

Come to Utah.  Our climate is more than diverse enough.  One day it's summer, the next it's winter, the next it's fall, then we're back to winter.  It's absurd.  Way, way too diverse.  What we need is a Director of Climate Consistency!
