Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson said a prayer at the opening of a cabinet meeting at the White House on Monday, pointing out that “separation of church and state means that the church does not dominate the state, and it means the state does not dominate the church.”
Trump asked Carson to say "grace" at the beginning of the cabinet meeting.(Video) Our kind Father in Heaven, we're so thankful for the many blessings that you have bestowed upon us in this country, and we're thankful for the people of courage who have been here before us, who have fought hard for the rights of our country.

Good, since you'll not find the phrase 'separation of church and state' anywhere in the US Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. Just something the commies decided to try starting last century pulled from a founder's letter and used to sell the weak-minded and gullible on a plan to destroy one of America's foundational pillars.
As was said back then, (paraphrased) the Constitution is wholly inadequate for an irreligious people.

This is an awkward, from my memory, quote from Ben Franklin.
'If God knows when a sparrow falls to the earth, how could He not know about this new government?'
The 'wall between Church and State' came from one letter written by Thomas Jefferson, in his dotage. (he should have stayed in bed with Sally Hemings that day, instead of writing a letter.)
I doubt that the founders ever thought about such a thing - they were concerned about an official state religion, after seeing how such a system messed up European countries, especially England.

The question remains, who is hurt by this? I don't mean fake outrage, It's no different that attending a hockey game between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Before the game starts, the National Anthem for both countries are played. If you are American, it is not required you sing the Canadian anthem. But no one gets outraged that it was performed on American soil.
So if the President of the United States chooses to have a member of his Cabinet say grace at the start of the meeting, and you are not a believer sit down, shut up, adults are talking here.

This will have witchypoo and her cadre of cruddy freaks chewing their lips off for awhile...
My first thought was of General Patton's order to his chaplain demanding a prayer for good weather so allied air forces could bomb the crap out of the nazis up the road.
The prayer worked and the rest is history.

Ben Carson is God's man of faith and power in Washington DC. Deal with it. But be thankful that someone can be that man.

We are one nation under God. God Bless Ben Carson. Hell and damnation for all the democrats, socialists and progressives, who literally spit on our belief in God. I hope they truly find an ugly surprise awaiting them when their time times.
