I had no idea..
"This man was born in 1809.
In 1816, at age 7, he was forced to work because his family was expelled.
In 1818, he lost his mother.
In 1828, he lost his sister.
In 1831, he opened his first business and went bankrupt.
In 1832, he stood in the legislative elections and lost.
In 1833, he borrowed money to open another business and went bankrupt again.
In 1835, he met a wonderful woman. He falls in love with her, they get engaged, and she dies.
In 1836, he entered a dark period of his life: deep depression.
He remains bedridden for 6 consecutive months. But he gets up.
He gets up and in that same year of 1836 he runs in the legislative elections and loses again.
In 1840 he presented himself as an elector; he loses.
In 1842, he met the woman he would end his life with.
They fall in love, get engaged, get married and she gives him 4 children and they lose 3 (three).
In 1843, he appeared at the congresses and lost.
In 1845, he appeared again at the congresses and lost again.
In 1850, his son died.
In 1854, he ran for the Senate and lost.
In 1856, he ran for Vice President, he didn't even have 100 votes.
In '58, he ran again for the Senate and lost again.
And in 1860 ABRAHAM LINCOLN was elected President of the United States of America 🇺🇸.
He was elected for two exceptional terms (he was assassinated in beginning of the second term.) He was one of the most respected and impactful Presidents in the history of the United States 🇺🇸.
It's important to tell this story of perseverance because we see the hero, but we don't see the backstage of the afflictions. "
Wow. ...
I think this is a great example of Never Never Never Give Up! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
TRUMP: "Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America. We're not going to let it happen."
🚨 AMAZING: 103-year-old World War II veteran Cpl. Wilbur “Jack” Myers just perfectly sang "GOD BLESS AMERICA" on camera during America's 250th anniversary
THE BEST OF US! 🙏🏻
This was the final minute of Vice President Vance's spellbinding salute to America.
Vance closed his July 4th speech with a powerful message that EVERY American has a role to play in the next 250 years of American greatness.
He tells his fellow Americans: “I’m proud of you.”
VANCE: “When we went to the moon, of course, our great astronauts flew the rockets, and our great men of science and engineering built them.”
“But there were clerks and janitors and welders like my grandfather, who each played their distinctive American part.”
“All of us have a part.”
“All of us had our part, our role to play in creating 250 years of a proud American story.”
“And all of us will need to do our part to create the next 250 years of American greatness.”
“So I say to all my fellow Americans, I'm proud of you, happy birthday and happy birthday to or great nation.”
“Today, my friends, we celebrate and tomorrow we get back to work. God bless you!”
🚨 ELON MUSK JUST DELIVERED A SIMPLE TEST FOR SPOTTING AUTHORITARIANISM.
His message was blunt:
"You can tell which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech."
Musk argued that throughout history, authoritarian regimes have relied on censorship because they fear open debate.
His conclusion:
"Ideas should win on the strength of their arguments. They should not win because they are suppressed."
Free speech doesn't protect popular opinions.
It protects the opinions that those in power would rather you never hear
This @nytimes op-ed completely misses the point on the purpose of marriage and children and completely misrepresents my views in the process. The entire article is laced with viewing family through the lens of money and career as if those things bring fulfillment and purpose. When you’re on your death bed, your money and your career won’t be whispering in your ear “I love you” as you take your last breath. The material goods and fortune of this world mean nothing when we go to our eternal resting place.
The author also conveniently leaves out the part of my Hillsdale commencement speech where I said “marry young, not rushed, but young.”
We serve a God of order and when you live a life ordered there’s a double portion of grace. Meaning marriage first, then kids, and everything else. Timing matters because life is shorter than you might think, and you never know what could happen. The point is, don’t put it off. Don’t rush it or force it if it’s not right, but don’t put it off.
I say this from a place of personal reflection. My marriage with Charlie and our babies are the biggest blessings of my life. I was 32 when I married Charlie, which in my mind is neither young to start a family or old. You just run up against statistics at that point and it just so happened to be the Lord’s timing and He still blessed us with two beautiful children. But I wish we met and were able to start our life and family together much sooner.
There is no such thing as perfect timing to have kids. Financial struggles are a part of life, but the problem is a lot of Americans are self-surviving, not self-sacrificing, and they expect to live a very distinct lifestyle based on what they see online. When Charlie encouraged young people to have more kids than they can afford, he wasn’t saying to recklessly bring a child into this world and have them on welfare. He was saying children aren’t a luxury item to have once you meet a certain tax bracket threshold. You don’t need a mansion in order to build a family.
It’s easy when you’re young to think that you have all the time in the world, but it’s a hard fact of life and science that that’s simply not the case. If you've met your person and you’re checking off boxes based on societal expectations of dating for a couple years, then a long engagement, then adjusting to married life before having children, you’re wasting valuable time. Getting pregnant in your late 30s and 40s is usually a lot harder than in your late 20s. Not always, but it’s a hard reality for many couples.
The inverted priorities of our current culture encourages women to believe that getting married and having children are weights on an otherwise rich and carefree existence. And yet, young Americans have never felt less happy or carefree. Children are not an obstacle, they're a gift from the Lord. They give life so much more meaning than you could ever imagine. When we stop looking at marriage and children as barriers to a happy life, maybe then there’ll be progress in this country.
Protect your secret place.
Everything God builds publicly begins privately.
Never underestimate the power of the hidden life.
The fire that burns in secret is the fire that changes the world.
Guard your secret place. Heaven is building something there.
It’s even worse than this. NY’s Democrats deliberately shut down the City’s main nuclear power plant, opting for renewables instead. Indian Point provided 25% of NYC’s electricity, but now it’s shut and so NY sweats.
Trust a D to mess things up for everyone.
In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work.
He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in.
Two years later, it was over. 🧵
There’s a REVIVAL sweeping across America
Our young people are embracing family, finding God, and standing up for our country
Here’s my advice: find love, get married, and have lots of kids!
That’s the ultimate blueprint for a fulfilling life and a strong nation 🇺🇸
Some of my colleagues are waiting to see how the politics shake out after the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling. I don't operate that way.
I introduced my constitutional amendment months ago because I believed then that citizenship in the greatest nation on earth should mean something. It shouldn't be the automatic result of a parent successfully crossing a border illegally. My amendment fixes that by returning the 14th Amendment to its original meaning.

I wrote about living through media hate and lies regarding Tesla and Elon for 20 years in my book, which comes out in September.
It’s weird that the majority of USA media make up fake news. Yet when I travel the world, giving talks or modeling, everyone loves Elon. They don’t believe nor respect the American press.
When do you think @nytimes@CNN@ABC@CBS@Reuters@latimes@NBCNews@MSNBC@washingtonpost journalists are going to protest and ask their seniors to allow them to tell the truth and be proud of American successes. Making up lies and spreading it to 200 media outlets must be tiring. Telling the truth will make reporters happier.

We declare that the Ekklesia is bringing a course correction to America–our nation will be in the right place at the right time to fulfill her God-given purposes!
Communism always goes the same way. They smile & promise you the world. Free this, free that, abundance for all! How? Don't ask!
Then they get into power, and the rationing begins. First a smiley ask. Then a demand. Then a bullet. "You used too much energy, comrade"
