I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles that of a honest man.- George Washington

Evil is real. There is no doubt, the enemy is hard at work.

These last few days, the weight of evil has been heavy across our nation.

But this I know: It will not have the final word. One day, God will make all things right.

Until then, we pray. We weep with those who weep. And we keep fighting, knowing the victory has already been won.

Mike Rowe: “For every five tradespeople that retire this year, two replace them.”

“It’s been that way for 12 years.”

“I don’t need to be a mathematician, this is bad arithmetic.”

“7.2 million able-bodied men today, in their prime working years, are not only unemployed … they’re not even looking.”

“What are they doing?”

“2,000 hours a year, on average, on screens.”

“I got a call from a company called BlueForge Alliance … in charge of something called the maritime industrial base.”

“The maritime industrial base consists of 15,000 individual companies, all of whom are tasked with delivering thermonuclear-powered submarines to the US Navy—three a year, two Virginia-class, one Columbia.”

“BlueForge Alliance calls me and they say, we need to hire some tradespeople, and we were wondering if you and your foundation could help.”

“I said, I’ll try, as you probably learned, it’s pretty skinny out there … how many do you need?”

“They said 100,000.”

“100,000 tradespeople for one industry that most people don’t even think about.”

“They said, we’ve looked everywhere … do you know where they are?”

“I said, yeah I do, they’re in the eighth grade.”

“That’s 100,000 building submarines. There’s 80,000 in the automotive industry alone for technicians. Right now … 80,000 openings.”

“You start to go down the list and you begin to realize our workforce is wildly out of balance.”

You come to the office for:

- work
- free coffee

We are not the same.

Bold prediction: Donald Trump and/or JD Vance will pick games on Big Noon and/or College Gameday next fall. No brainer. Would be lots of fun. President and VP should pick games every year. Obama did the bracket, Trump & Vance should do CFB:

[Walt Downing @DowningWalt]

@ClayTravis Games should not have been played on Thursday and Friday.

National Championship should not be played on a Monday!

Would Greenland State University play in the SEC or Big10?

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
