The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would be able to buy 42 miles of high speed rail in California with that much money.
@SeanTrende Thank you for sharing this. May God bless, protect, and strengthen you and your family, and especially your fine son Judson in the years ahead!
@JonathanTurley It’s an AI cartoon and song, which probably took two interns a day to make, at most. Silly and unwatchable, but we’re not their target audience. It’s for school children.
@bluestein@MarthaZoller Excellent! And a well deserved honor. Quite a long way from hanging out in prison!

TODAY, Justice Clarence Thomas is now the second longest serving Supreme Court Justice in American history at 34 years and 195 days.
He has written more than 800 opinions, laying out a jurisprudence that has brought the Supreme Court back to the Constitution.
Justice Thomas has lived a most extraordinary American life, from being born into abject poverty in the Deep South under state-enforced segregation to becoming our nation’s greatest Justice.
Please watch this beautiful segment from the terrific documentary, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words.
Justice Thomas recounts his grandfather enrolling him in the segregated all-black catholic school in Savannah and the role the Irish nuns who ran the school played in his life.
His grandfather told him:
“'You are going to go to school every day.
If you are sick, you’re still going.
If you die, I will take your body for three days to make sure you are not faking.'
And he meant it.
It’s one thing if somebody says it and you think they’re exaggerating.
He wasn’t that kind of guy.”
God bless Justice Thomas.
The great hymns of the Christian faith have nourished and encouraged believers for generations. Churches do a disservice to their congregations by dropping them in favor of whatever's "new."
The difference between the Trump Administration and the Obama Administration is now abundantly clear.
When Americans are in trouble Trump will move heaven and earth.
Obama/Hillary didn't lift a finger. They abandoned our men and women serving in Libya.
Which America do you want to be a part of?
Disregard anyone telling you to shun monogamy.
A good woman is the most massive force multiplier you can have. She’ll create the conditions for you to accomplish incredible things.
They’re harder to find now bc the left brainwashed a lot of them, but they’re still out there
Ben Sasse:
"One of the weird lines @timkellernyc used to say is, 'I hate this, but I would never want to go back to the prayer life I had before pancreatic cancer,' which I thought sounded pretty weird. . .But then I felt, what a blessing that I'm saying, 'Lord, come quickly, Maranatha. Thank you for all of the different things that I used to cling to that right now seem really, really trivial because they're actually really trivial.'"
