For one side or two of politics these days, it seems that what you do matters far less than what you say. Moreover, it is just as important what you (say you) believe. But who knows what any of them believe nowadays?   Who can you trust when you trust no one? One simple fact about the terrorist Ahmad Khan Rahmani is that ISIS will never claim his acts are on their recognizance.   Why?   Because his actions were beyond stupid. He was captured almost immediately; one of his big bombs and others did not detonate.     He is alone with no support. This is his ultimate punishment. He will spend twenty years or more in prison - completely alone. If ISIS would claim him as theirs, his life would be complete.   Not to happen.  Question.   What do Secretary of State John Kerry and New Jersey bomber Ahmad Khan Rahmani have in common?   Answer.   Same IQ. Truth is greatest ally of power.   It matters little if the "truth" is actually true.   It is the pronouncement.    

John Kerry is our new Secretary of State.    This is an Administration appointment at the very highest level.   This puts Kerry as fourth in  line for ascension to the presidency after Joe Biden, Patrick Leahy, and John Boehner. This is a heady job. Wow. Yet Kerry believes he should be the actual president.  (Once you got the bug, it never goes away.  So I'm told.)  Really, he campaigned for the job.  He almost won.  He has his credentials fully in order.  He believes he's the guy that should be making all the big decisions.  So, how will he perform as a distant administration advocate? We'll  see.  My goodness, he just did an interview with FOX news.  What the...?  My (cynical) guess is that if he sees the future presidency is in there somewhere, anywhere, he will go along and play along.  If not, he will follow his own recognizance.  He may do a great job in his new post.  Who knows?  Let hope for him, i.e for us.
