They say “you are the company you keep” — and the fact that, a decade later, President Obama is STILL so close to Angela Merkel that the former German Chancellor flew 4,500 miles to celebrate him this week speaks volumes about them BOTH!

While we all know about his accomplishments — killing Bin Laden, achieving record economic growth, winning a Nobel Peace Prize — HERS are equally impressive:

✅ First female Chancellor of Germany
✅ First chancellor to grow up in the former East Germany
✅ Youngest German chancellor since WWII

MOST impressively, before her political career, she earned a doctorate in quantum chemistry and was the only woman in the theoretical chemistry section at the East German Academy of Sciences 🤯

Smart people unite!

Let’s hope he gets jail time! 😡

Authorities say former NFL player LeShon Johnson ran a large dogfighting operation called “Mal Kant Kennels,” and nearly 200 pit‑type dogs were seized in a raid.

Johnson is now facing federal Animal Welfare Act charges that carry years in prison and heavy fines.

❤This Father’s Day, Hunter Biden’s words aren’t about politics—they’re about grief, survival, and a bond that refused to break, even in the darkest moments:

The Lessons I Learned from My Dad

I am not the man my father is.
I am trying. Some days closer. Some days farther.
He never sat me down and explained these lessons. He lived them. I’m still learning them.

Show up.
The kitchen table. The hospital room. The funeral. The picket line. The call from the son who won’t answer.
Show up.
Most days that’s the whole job.
My whole life I watched him do it. Not for cameras. Not for headlines. Not because there was something in it for him. He showed up because someone needed him.

I learned that grief doesn’t make you special.
My father buried a wife and daughter. He buried a son. Yet he never treated grief as a claim on other people’s sympathy. Instead, it made him notice theirs.
A mother who lost a child. A father sitting beside a hospital bed. A kid scared about what comes next. A son who lost his mother, his sister, his brother.
He always noticed.

I learned that power is not the point.
The people who chase power eventually confuse the office with themselves.
My father never did.
Whether he was a county councilman, a senator, vice president, or president, he was the same man.
The title changed.
He didn’t.

I learned that family comes first.
The train from Wilmington wasn’t symbolism.
It was every night.
He read to us. Showed up to games. Sat through hospital rooms. Waited up for children who were lost.
And when the day came that the country and the family could not both have him at full strength, he chose family. He relinquished the last chapter of how he wanted to be remembered. And he never complained about it.

Most of all, I learned that love is not soft.
Love is discipline.
Love is showing up at one in the morning when nobody is watching.
Love is answering the phone.
Love is staying.
Love is getting back up after life knocks you down and doing it all again tomorrow.
That love saved my life.
I’ve failed at many of these lessons, sometimes in very public ways.
He loved me anyway.

That’s the last lesson.
I am not trying to become my father.
I am trying to carry what he gave me.
And if I can do that, even imperfectly, that will be enough.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

Riding the wave 🌊🐬

Sometimes nature reminds us that moving with the flow can be just as powerful as fighting against it.

In this brief moment, two dolphins emerge from a wave that has traveled thousands of kilometers across the ocean.

What looks effortless is actually the result of perfect timing, awareness, and harmony with their environment.

Why this matters:
➡️ Oceans cover more than 70% of our planet.
➡️ Protecting our oceans means protecting our future.
➡️ Dolphins are among the most intelligent marine species.
➡️ Healthy oceans support life both above and below the surface.
➡️ Every marine ecosystem plays a role in maintaining Earth's balance.

Perhaps one of nature's greatest lessons is this: Not every wave is an obstacle ~ sometimes it's an opportunity to ride.

This GENTLEMAN cared for stray dogs. 🙏

Remembering the late Eugene Bostick, a retired railroad engineer. When he noticed that people were abandoning their elderly Dogs near his barn in Texas he took them in, built a train to take them out on excursions and the rest is history!! ❤ 🐾

There are no better leaders than the #Obamas, and definitely no better speaker than #MichelleObama…. She blew that speech 🎤 out of the water 💦.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

BREAKING: In a wholesome moment, President Obama and Michelle Obama read books to children today in Chicago. This is amazing.
