The biggest stories don’t always make the news. 🤔 Susan and I gave $6.25 billion to help 25 million American children build brighter futures. These handwritten thank-you notes mean more than any headline ever could. 25 million children. 25 million futures. Endless possibilities. ❤️🇺🇸

Kamala Harris just spoke in Las Vegas and it seems she's testing out a new oratory style. It's worse than you can imagine.

Most popular current singer in America posts “Jesus Paid it All.”

Marc Andreessen reveals why housing, health care, and education keep getting more expensive while everything else gets cheaper "There's basically three components to the American dream. A house near great job opportunities, great health care for you and your family, and sending your kids to good schools" "If you disaggregate the economy over the last 25 years, everything that technology touches basically collapses in price. Television sets, computer games, anything with electronics in it. But if you chart housing, education, and health care, the prices of those things are skyrocketing" "The government restricts supply, zoning laws and university certifications. And then the government responds to the political pressure caused by the rising prices by subsidizing demand. And of course, if you subsidize demand and a fixed supply, you get skyrocketing prices"

Tonight, I’m making the case for a new direction in New York. We need an Attorney General who will fight crime, enforce the law, and deliver real results for New Yorkers.

I’ve watched this 50 times.

Saritha Komatireddy JUST STEAMROLLED Letitia James in this debate!🔥🔥🔥 Saritha Komatireddy: “New York spends $126 billion on Medicaid every year. That’s more per resident than any other state in the country, and twice as much per resident as New Jersey. That doesn’t make any sense. We’re both blue states with similar demographics and similar policies. There’s about $40 billion in unexplained spending that Letitia James has failed to investigate. We used to have one of the best Medicaid fraud units in the country under previous Democratic attorneys general. We recovered about $250 million a year. Letitia James came in, and it took a nosedive to $19 million. Under previous Democratic attorneys general, we secured about 100 criminal convictions a year. Under Letitia James, that number hit an all-time low of eight. She gets 2,000 patient abuse complaints a year and secures maybe one or two convictions. That means someone could be punching an elderly patient in a nursing home, and no one is doing anything.”

Jaden Baugh is going to run for 250 yards against Mizzou.

My friend Joe Gebbia is doing extraordinary work for America. In our lifetime, no man as wealthy or accomplished as him from US Tech went full time into government to BUILD. Joe’s brought in A+ talent with him, and paired it with a bold administration for fast, amazing results.

102-year-old WWII vet Sverre Vinje, who saw action in Iwo Jima & Okinawa, sang God Bless America last night in Milwaukee.

maybe our public schools, particularly the ones in red states as blue states would never do it, should take time on the 25th anniversary and show kids (middle and highschoolers) this footage. This and other footage. Too many young people have never seen it and therefore don’t recognize what it was and it’s time they see reality.

Before he died, Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine waiting to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver . "You know," he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?"The driver said, "No problem. Be my guest!" Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving. He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor. He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law, but I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person." The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that." The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that." The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"The young trooper said... "I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!"

Tomorrow Barbara & I celebrate 72yrs of marriage 2nite we hv dinner at Hickory House in Waterloo where we went when we were dating

Absolutely insane stat: 15 U.S. colleges now cost more than $100,000 per year. That’s $400,000+ for a four-year degree. Students are not getting anywhere near $400,000 worth of value from these schools. Higher education is the most overpriced product in America.

Gerald Ford is the president America remembers as a klutz. Chevy Chase built a career on it. He fell down the stairs of Air Force One once and it followed him to the grave. The man was probably the best athlete ever to hold the office. Starting center on Michigan's back to back national championship teams in 1932 and 1933, team MVP in 1934, and he turned down contract offers from both the Packers and the Lions to go be a coach and read law at Yale. Then there is the fall nobody talks about. December 1944. Ford is a lieutenant aboard the light carrier USS Monterey, somewhere east of the Philippines, when Halsey's Third Fleet sails into the middle of a typhoon. Not near it. Into it. Winds over 100 knots, seas the sailors describe as mountains, visibility zero. Three destroyers roll over and sink that night and roughly 790 men die. It remains one of the worst disasters in the history of the US Navy and no enemy was involved. On the Monterey the aircraft break their tie downs. Loose planes, full of fuel, sliding around a closed hangar deck in the dark, striking sparks. The hangar catches fire. General quarters sounds and Ford heads for his station on the bridge, crossing the flight deck of a small carrier in a typhoon at night. The ship rolls about 25 degrees. His feet go out from under him and he starts sliding toward open water. What saves his life is a steel lip maybe two inches high running along the edge of the deck. It catches him just enough to spin him and drop him into the catwalk instead of over the side. In a sea like that, nobody would have found him. Nobody would have even known. His own line about it later: I was lucky. I could have easily gone overboard. He got up and went below to help fight the fire. Men died in that hangar. They saved the ship, barely. Monterey was so badly burned she had to be pulled out of the war entirely and sent back for repairs. Ford finished the war having gone from a physical fitness instructor who begged for sea duty to an officer aboard a carrier that collected 11 battle stars, and he left the Navy in 1946 as a lieutenant commander. Thirty years later a comedian made him a national punchline for tripping. The one time it actually mattered, he caught himself on two inches of steel in a hurricane, then walked into a fire.

So Trump says of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding: "As far as I'm concerned, it's over." OK. So now, is there really any need to "finish the job" in Iran? Remember what worked in the past. No sanctions relief, economic pressure, and not a penny from the United States. The nuclear program is kaput for some period of years, and the world's oil powers are moving away from reliance on the strait. So going forward, keep up the economic pressure and hit back hard whenever Iran attacks a ship in the strait. Forget about any sort of treaty or agreement. If more extensive bombing is needed in the future, do it then. There's no need for a neat, clean ending to this. Just keep up the pressure and move on.
