Success.
I hit my main goal of 3:50 for the marathon (PR in all distances this year). This was 10 min faster than my previous. Had a stretch goal of going a bit faster, but the course was harder than expected.
Set big goals, and go for it. Sometimes you get lucky and hit them

“You guys want to know how I know I'm not a racist? It's because when I see a Black person speaking like a normal human being and not talking like Popeye's ghetto chicken talk, and they don't sag their pants and they're very courteous, I realize it's not their skin color I hate, it's their culture.
- I hate the culture of rapping about r*ping women, stealing, robbing, dealing drugs
- I hate it when they don't speak properly
- I hate it when they sag their pants.
- I hate it when they treat other people like sh*t
- I hate it when they don't tip waiters
But when they act like decent human beings, I realize, wow, these are some normal people, and it's really cool”
This is the hard reality people need to come to. Stereotypes exist for a reason and so does fatigue
When people act respectful and nice, there are no problems. Nobody in America wants problems with anyone else, we all just want to live in a good high trust society
Challenging Islamphobia
“Let me see if I understand this. Muslims have a problem with gays, bacon, dogs, people drawing pictures of their prophet, women showing hair, music, they think it's okay to marry a 6-year-old, but if I have a problem with Muslims, then I'm the problem?”
All of this is accurate, here’s the fact check:
Bacon/pork: Yes, explicitly prohibited (haram) in the Quran for observant Muslims.
Women showing hair: Quran 24:31 and hadiths require hijab modesty covering hair in public for women
Depictions of the Prophet: Strong prohibition on images of Muhammad
Music: Many hadiths criticize instruments and certain music as haram or makruh; opinions can be total ban
Dogs: Dog saliva is considered ritually impure in most schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Keeping dogs as pets is discouraged or forbidden
Gays and homosexuality: Islam condemn it. Criminalized with severe penalties
Marrying a 6-year-old refers to the hadith accounts of Aisha’s marriage to Muhammad (betrothed at 6-7, consummated at 9). This is acceptable
Islam is not compatible with Western Civilization
At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said: “I’ve never had this much fun in my life.”
I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump’s leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship and uproarious laughter.
As heartbreaking as his sudden passing is, I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to those who cherished him to know just how much he was living his dream every day. Very rarely in life do you get to be exactly where you want to be, when you want to be there, with who you want to be with, doing precisely what you want to do — that was every moment for Lindsey.
When President Trump won in Nov 2024, Lindsey was exultant. Elated. And determined. He couldn’t wait to spearhead work, as the Budget Chairman, on the reconciliation bill that would cement President Trump’s most important campaign promises. I’ll never forget the senate lunch, when a couple Senators were a tad off the program, and Lindsey — in his inimitable way — made sure everyone was onside by the time we left. It was a glorious thing to witness. He knew how to move a room.
Lindsey was a senator’s senator. The job was everything to him. Truly did he believe in the splendor of the office and the noble lineage behind it, of which he was the worthy heir.
He was a senator in the mold of those who fashioned the institution, someone who still had the ability, in a heated exchange, to use rhetorical power to change the course of events.
Which is why we will never forget his legendary Kavanaugh moment. We rarely think that we are out of time with our friends, so while there is a lot more I wish I could have said to Lindsey, I am glad that more than once I told him what that moment meant to the whole nation and why he was the only Senator who could have done it with such utter perfection.
Most importantly, I had the chance to tell him on many occasions what his friendship meant to me and to us all. There was never once a time he didn’t answer a phone call and lend whatever assistance was required. It was never a question with Lindsey. He believed deeply in the code of friendship and loyalty.
The fact that Lindsey started out as a political opponent only to become one the President’s most steadfast and faithful supporters underscores that Lindsey believed emphatically in the voice of the people.
There is a lot more I would like to say. His passing, at a time when he had never been more dynamic, is as unexpected as it is shocking. In many respects, Lindsey was the last of a breed of American Senator whose like we may not yet see again for a long time.
He lived every minute in the arena, a political gladiator to the very last.
More than anything now, our thoughts are with his Sister, nieces and loved ones.
We pray that God will ease their sorrow and heal their pain.
Lindsey can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.
Godspeed, my friend.
BREAKING: President Trump calls out the deception behind China’s green energy campaign, blasting the country for its use of coal plants while pushing windmills on foreign nations:
"They got coal plants all over the place, but they build the windmills. But the only one they have that I know of is one that they want us to use.”
“They don't use it in terms of energy. They showed people, look how beautiful this is, as those poor suckers buy those windmills and lose their a**."
