1. Emeasoba George:

   King Solomon was a wise king and teacher too. Moreover, Plato was a wonderful teacher and inspirator. As well, Socrates was also an awesome teacher and inspirator. Zig Ziglar was equally a profound teacher and motivator. Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate is undoubtedly an inspiring teacher and motivator. Enoch Adeboye is an insightful teacher and preacher. Besides, David Oyedepo is a charismatic teacher and preacher among other teachers and inspirators like John C.

And he will ever remain the greatest teacher and inspirator of all time. Because, he was the embodiment of divine wisdom, he is still the embodiment of divine wisdom and he will ever remain the embodiment of divine or extraordinary wisdom. Oh! yes, Jesus Christ is as well the epitome of divine wisdom. If you don't concur with me. Go ahead and read the scriptures (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). For, you will surely and eventually concur with me QED. -Emeasoba George

   A million things have sprung from that, but Matthew Perry being selected for a role like that does not surprise me one bit. It matched Matthew Perry particular sense of humor precisely, whether they wrote that for Matthew Perry knowing what Matthew Perry was like or whether Matthew Perry adapted it more for himself, probably a combination of the two. But that character is Matthew. Yeah, and it always has been him. Hes just a talented soul, a smart guy, hes a good guy. We love having him around.

   With today's decision by Judge Matthew Brann, Matthew Brann, to dismiss the President Trump campaign's lawsuit, President Trump has exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania.

5. Sarah Turberville:

   The fact that Matthew Whitaker is a political operative isn't itself disqualifying, but I think where there are some concerns is the fact that Matthew Whitaker had been head of this very partisan organization for a number of years and that is what raises some alarm bells about Matthew Whitaker ability to impartially carry out the duties of attorney general of the United States.
