awwww, boohoo, Andy. Cry us a river. Time to pay the piper.
here's what it says:
The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord;
He turns it wherever He wishes.
2 Every man’s way is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and justice
Is desired by the Lord more than sacrifice.

State Dept. Ousts Official Who Worked on Plan That Gave His Ex-Employer Raytheon Billions in Arms Sales
The State Department has ousted a senior official who was involved in a plan that gave his former employer—defense contractor Raytheon—billions of dollars in weapons sales, The Wall Street Journal reports. Charles Faulkner, who was a deputy assistant secretary at State, reportedly resigned in early May after working on an emergency declaration that “fast-tracked $8 billion in arms sales” to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Faulkner used to be an “outside lobbyist” for Raytheon. The emergency declaration used reportedly cited rising tensions between U.S. and Iran to bypass congressional oversight. Democrats are now reportedly looking into whether Faulkner violated Trump’s ethics rules by partaking in the discussions on the declaration, and the House Foreign Affairs Committee will scrutinize Faulkner’s actions at a hearing scheduled for next week. Faulkner reportedly declined to comment.

New emails show Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was behind botched voter purge
Newly released emails show that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was the driving force behind the state’s botched voter purge that led to Secretary of State David Whitley’s resignation.
The Campaign Legal Center published Texas Department of Public Safety emails subpoenaed in a court battle over the botched voter purge, which was blocked after it wrongly flagged many naturalized citizens as illegal voters. The emails show that Abbott pushed for the voter information used to initiate the would-be purge, though Abbott’s office denied to the Austin American-Statesman that he “gave a directive to initiate this process.”
