Linda Ronstadt, Sally Field and the disco-funk band Earth Wind and Fire awaited their turn in the spotlight Sunday night as part of the latest group of recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime achievements in the arts.

According to Sam Greisman, a movie writer and the youngest son of Sally Field, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was having a major sad at the State Department dinner for Kennedy Center honorees.

The White House said Friday that neither Donald Trump nor Melania Trump would attend because they planned to host a Christmas party for members of the Secret Service and their families. Mike Pompeo attended instead and at one point asked asked aloud when he would be “loved”. That’s when Linda Ronstadt replied to his question and she pulled no punches.

Brava Diva!

We are all waiting breathlessly for the video.

FRC's Tony Perkins: Tony Perkins: The Equality Act Would Make LGBT Citizens “The Most Protected Class In America”

The latest anti-gay propaganda from Family Research Council hate group leader and linked white supremacist Herr Tony Perkins:

Under Barack Obama, world leaders were furious with the way the president used the State Department to export his LGBT agenda globally. Trump’s predecessor not only sent openly gay ambassadors into countries that are culturally opposed to homosexuality, they used foreign aid to bully other nations into accepting Obama’s twisted agenda.

He flew rainbow flags over our embassies in Muslim countries and appointed a special taxpayer-funded LGBT envoy whose sole purpose was forcing the president’s radical social agenda on reluctant countries. Under both Kerry and Hillary Clinton, DOS changed the rules for same-sex diplomats and openly demonized other countries that refused to recognize homosexuality as an international “human right.”

The Evangelical Association of the Caribbean was so outraged by the Obama administration’s harassment that when Donald Trump was elected, church leaders across the region pleaded with Donald Trump to stop using the State Department to browbeat the world into submission on issues that are still fiercely controversial in most of the world.

“We were coerced into accepting [the administration’s LGBT] agenda,” Pastor Paul Mursalin told me last year, “threatening fund withdrawal and a number of other things. And our governments are under severe pressure to relent. We now see a ray of hope under President Trump and Vice President Pence, where some of this can be reversed and give us a chance to maintain our traditional conservative Christian values on the issue.”

Mike Pompeo is that ray of hope. It’s unfortunate that a shill for the Human Rights Campaign like Cory Booker would smear a good man simply because he disagrees on an issue that still divides most of America.

Cory Booker Goes After Mike Pompeo During Confirmation Hearing, Asks If He Believes: “Is being gay a perversion?”

In 2015 after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, Mike Pompeo, the president’s nominee to head the State Department, called the decision “wrong” and “a shocking abuse of power.”

In a statement condemning the decision at that time, the then-Kansas congressman said:

“I am deeply saddened by the Supreme Court’s ruling that imposes legalized gay marriage on the 70 percent of Kansans who voted to honor and protect the traditional definition of marriage as the union between one man and one woman. It is a shocking abuse of power. It is wrong. I will continue to fight to protect our most sacred institutions.”

During  Pompeo’s, Senate confirmation hearing for secretary of state Thursday, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) pushed Pompeo on his previous comments, particularly his suggestion that homosexuality was a “perversion.”

Booker: “Is being gay a perversion?”

Pompeo: “Senator, when I was a politician, I had a very clear view on whether it was appropriate for two same-sex persons to marry. I stand by that.”

Booker: “So, you do not believe that it’s appropriate for two gay people to marry?”

Pompeo: “Senator, I continue to hold that view.”

Booker went on to remind Pompeo that as secretary of state, he would be representing the U.S. internationally in countries where gay people are persecuted for their sexual orientation.

In 2015, Pompeo former congressman cited a prayer previously delivered before the Kansas State Legislature at a God and Country Rally at an evangelical church in Kansas .

“America had worshiped other Gods and called it multiculturalism. We’d endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle,” Pompeo said.

Republicans, of course have largely praised Pompeo, whose nomination is on track to end up before the full Senate by the end of the month, according to Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.)

Will he get the position? 

Pompeo’s performance seemed to please Republicans on the panel, but with the defection of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) who surprisingly strongly opposes Pompero and with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) home receiving treatment for cancer, he will need support from Democrats to win confirmation which should be a hard task. No Democrats on the panel have so far offered their support.
