President Trump to name Sen. Mark Green as Secretary of Army
Clarksville Now.com ^ | March 31, 2017

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – News 2 has learned that Montgomery County State Senator Mark Green will be appointed next week as Secretary of the Army by President Donald Trump.

Green went to West Point and later served in Iraq before becoming a medical doctor.

While in Iraq, he was involved in the capture of Saddam Hussein and examined the Iraqi dictator in the first few hours after the capture.

Before being elected to the Tennessee Senate in 2012, Green began a hospital staffing company in Clarksville.

The senator announced earlier this year that he was running for governor of Tennessee, but the president’s upcoming announcement will take him in a different direction.

Green recently told WATE that no matter what job he does next, he just wants to keep serving

San Antonio does a fair job at going liberal. The Castro twin was mayor. They’re just scary, those two major invasion going on in that town besides. But Austin. We don’t talk about it much but friends will just say things like, on the way to A&M going through Austin we get tge holy water out. It’s not the news or events so much as a feeling. Exceptions to the late great and solid Christian Stevie Ray Vaughan whose memory and statue are there

It is concerning, he was my choice for Governor, too. With an expected RINO orgy in the primary, this may force State Sen. Mae Beavers into the race to pick up Green’s baton.

Well the election is not until over 18 month from now. The secretary of the army is needed now.

There are 11 GOP candidates running to replace Tom Price in GA 6th district. The Dem candidate, Jon Ossoff, is leading with 40%, but if you add up the polling results for the top 4 GOP candidates it’s 48%.

There is going to be a runoff in June, probably Ossoff against Karen Handel, former GA Sec. of State. Handel has been in GA politics for decades and will be a strong candidate against Ossoff.

Not as bad as poaching Zinke from the Montana Senate race but still a big poach.

“>>>Could this flip the balance of power in the Senate??????? Heard the dem is winning over the gop in the run for Sen Tom Prices seat......now this<<<

“State Senator Mark Green””
______

Plus, Tom Price was a U.S. Representative, not a U.S. Senator.

.........well, take out the Liberals between 183 on the North, William Cannon on the south, Mopac Expressway on the West and Capitol of Texas Highway on the East and Travis County would vote R every time.

My point? It’s downtown Austin and immediate areas adjoining it that make it the liberal bastion that it is.

I expect we will soon hear from the Ultras that he is not conservative enough.

Honestly these days my ex has it hard taking care of her mom and almost got murdered by husband number five two years ago

Both myself and my second wife who I have been with exclusively of the past 20 plus years have empathy for her

It’s a big family with shared grandson so we know each other

But she is nutty and used to be dangerous

My wife here in Franklin on my homepage is pals with Beavers

Adores her

Wifey two ....is a Rutherford county lass of strong antebellum pedigree

Nice but not why I married her

Interesting. Close relatives know the doctor who performed the early exam and he was from LaGrange.

My bets are on Sen Mark Norris. Mae Beavers is acceptable though. Both excellent conservatives. Problem will be if corker tosses his hat in, he has the bucks, they don’t.

Corker’s scandals are known only to conservative voters who pay attention. The fact he is a RINO is also beyond their depth of knowledge.
