Christie’s position is reportedly part of the White House Office of American Innovation, a new initiative led by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner that is being described as a “SWAT team” of business leaders that will tackle a range of government failings. An anonymous White House spokesman said Monday the announcement is expected this week, after The Washington Post broke the development Sunday evening, reports The Associated Press.

“when one dies or is imprisoned another springs up to take is place.”

The warrior mystique and the thug mystique have at least one thing in common: the willingness to face death. This is usually accompanied by a groundless certainty that it will be the other fellow who shuffles off this mortal coil, and not one’s self.

The only thing that will deter thugs is actual death, never merely the threat of death. Until we understand that, we will never take effective measures to solve the thug problem.
