IDF soldiers came across a puppy that had been trapped in a net for hours. They heard his cries of pain and wasted no time rescuing him.
The only thing bigger than Israeli soldiers is their hearts.
๐จ FIRST LOOK: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is officially here.
Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at @Trump.
This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known. ๐บ๐ธ
These images have never been seen by the public โ until today. Enjoy!

Jews are slowly coming to the realization that the Democratic Party to which they have been eternally loyal, actually wants the existence of Israel to come to an end.

Thank You, Lord, for this day of rest, renewal, and Your endless grace. May peace settle over every heart, joy rise like the morning sun, and little moments remind us how loved we are.
Wishing you quiet reflection, warm coffee or tea, and all the gentle blessings this day holds. ๐๏ธโค๏ธ 'This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.'

๐๐บ๐ธโ๐๏ธ๐ A quiet afternoon in 19th-century California. This is where the Golden Stateโs roots took hold and the Central Pacific Railroad began its journey eastward. From hardware to iron horses, you can still trace the footsteps of the "Big Four" (Leland Stanford, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker) who changed the face of the American West.๐ต๐๐๐๐๐
โThe Huntington & Hopkins Hardware store stands today as a perfectly preserved reminder of the pioneers and merchants who built the West.๐งธ

Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park in Sacramento. โItโs one of the most historically significant buildings in California. While Leland Stanford is most famous for founding Stanford University, this house was his primary residence during his time as the 8th Governor of California.
Leland Stanford Mansion in Sacramento was the "command center" for the wealth and power that eventually created Stanford University.
โThe connection isn't just about the name; itโs a story of immense success followed by a heartbreaking tragedy that changed the course of American education.
โ1. The Seat of Power
โLeland Stanford was one of the "Big Four" railroad tycoons who built the Central Pacific Railroad. This mansion was his base of operations while he served as the Governor of California and later as a U.S. Senator. The massive wealth generated while living in this house provided the capital needed to eventually fund a university.
โ2. The Tragedy of Leland Jr.
โLeland and his wife, Jane, had only one child: Leland Stanford Jr. He grew up in the opulence of this mansion and their other estates. However, in 1884, while the family was traveling in Europe, 15-year-old Leland Jr. died of typhoid fever.
โDistraught, Leland Sr. famously told his wife:
โ"The children of California shall be our children."
โ3. From Residence to Endowment.
โInstead of retreating into their grief, the Stanfords decided to use their massive fortuneโthe same fortune managed from that Sacramento mansionโto memorialize their son. They used their Palo Alto Stock Farm (their country estate) as the site for the campus.
โThey poured the equivalent of billions of today's dollars into the university's founding.
โWithout the political and financial empire built while residing in the Sacramento mansion, the "Farm" (Stanford University's nickname) would never have existed.
โ4. A Legacy of Service
โEven the mansionโs later history reflects this "legacy of children." After Leland Sr. died, Jane Stanford gave the Sacramento mansion to the Catholic Diocese to be used as a home for settlement and social services for children, ensuring the home remained a place that served the "children of California" for decades before it became a State Park.
