Tillerson describes his interaction with Trump:

When he asked me at the end of that conversation to be secretary of state, I was stunned,” Tillerson confessed. The former CEO of Exxon Mobil, the world’s largest oil explorer, said he had planned to retire from business in March of this year and “go to the ranch to be with my grandkids.” Yet, when he got home from that fateful meeting and told his wife Renda St. Clair about the offer, she said, “I told you God’s not through with you.”

Now, nearly two months on the job, Tillerson, who will be 65 this upcoming Thursday, says Renda did the right thing.

My wife convinced me. She was right. I’m supposed to do this,” the secretary of state said.

While Tillerson’s nomination first received opposition, the Senate approved Tillerson for secretary of state early this year.  His critics cited that the oil executive had no government or diplomatic experience, had business ties with Russia (which he established during his time at Exxon Mobil), and also raised allegations that had tried to hide the effects of climate change while the company’s CEO.

Very few men receive the call to serve their country. And when Lady Liberty comes knocking, it takes a real man to answer (sometimes with the help of a real lady to guide him).

  1. I’m the proprietor of JustCBD company (justcbdstore.com) and I’m presently looking to expand my wholesale side of company. It would be great if someone at targetdomain is able to provide some guidance ! I considered that the most ideal way to do this would be to talk to vape shops and cbd retailers. I was hoping if anybody could recommend a qualified website where I can get Vape Shop B2B Data List I am already checking out creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not sure which one would be the very best selection and would appreciate any support on this. Or would it be simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?

  14. We tested coffee makers for the water temperature during the brew cycle and the brewing time as well as the temperature of the coffee at the end of brewing and during the keep warm cycle. In addition, we evaluated each brewer’s ease of use, including how easy it was to read and use the controls, access the water tank and brew basket, read the markings on the tank and carafe, whether or not it had automatic keep warm and shut off cycles, and the ease of cleaning the carafe.
