Senator Bob Corker (R-Tennessee) will not seek reelection
Good riddance! Senator Bob Corker (R-Tennessee), a major player among the Republican leadership and the man who engineered the acceptance of the Iran deal, announced today that he would not seek reelection.
I had expected Corker to make his decision after the results of today’s election in Georgia. That he announced before those results suggests the polls there made it clear to him that a RINO like him was in big trouble and would have faced a tough primary election.
These events indicate to me once again that, except for the bankrupt big urban areas and the coasts, the country continues to shift to the right. Corker was going to face a strong conservative primary challenger, running against Corker’s moderate “let’s work with the leftist Democrats” stance. His decision today indicates that he did not think such a position was a winnable one any longer.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

The Iranian’s must be upset over this development. Maybe he’ll get his own Statue in Tehran.
Finally, now if we can get rid of Lamar Alexander, too. I had already decided that I would never vote for Corker, even if it meant voting for the Democrat candidate. Same goes for Alexander. I’m tired of his stabbing us in the back with his votes.
Senator Corker said back in 2006 he’d only serve two terms. So while he indicated he struggled with the decision, he is in fact keeping his word made almost 12 years ago. I’m sure he would have faced a primary challenger. Not only because of his position taken on certain matters, but also because of comments made this summer about the current president.
Not sure why republicans who do not always march to the beat of the alt. right are labeled as R.I.N.O. We say as a party that we are inclusive, a “big tent,” open to all flavors of conservatives. Even those who are willing to work with the other party when possible on the many pressing issues we face as a nation are said to be welcome. We correctly pointed out the mistake democrats made time after time when Obama was elected and their refusal to work with republicans and the problems that created.
Yet, this degrading term R.I.N.O. is rolled out with increasing frequency. I would think this year thus far should point out the problem with this attitude. Republicans control the executive and legislative branches, yet struggle to actually get anything done.

Who’s alt-right?
Corker is a RINO, Mastermind, Statist, American-hating liar. And he has a Liberty Score of 47%.
(Lamar Alexander, clocks in with a whopping 17% Liberty Score.)
