Arrived in Colombia in the aftermath of the August 10th earthquake and at a critical moment as the Trump Administration reinvigorates our partnership to deliver results for our two nations.
Together with President @ABDELAESPRIELLA, we will restore our alliance as a linchpin of security cooperation in our Hemisphere.
A productive day in Colombia, building on the enduring friendship between our two nations.
Grateful for the warm hospitality shown throughout today's visit.
marry your intellectual equal and this goes away. I’d guess it’s #1 for long-term compatibility — an ability to dig deep; insights, introspection, cultural + existential awareness, concepts, wit, philosophies, ethics, nuance. some people just don’t have it in them
Kristen Bell says her husband Dax Shepard completely re-routed her brain on how she judges right from wrong.
“I wasn’t really ever taught to question things. I just, there were good people and there were bad people.”
“He has re-routed all my neurons and the way that I think.”
“I wanted to put him on this pedestal. I didn’t want to have to grow up and start acknowledging that people are fallible.”
“I think I’m going to marry a Greenpeace worker, I married a hillbilly from Michigan.”
“It’s harder when everything’s gray.”
“People that have done awful, awful things, sometimes they deserve forgiveness.”
I failed SAS Selection the first time. One hundred and twenty men started. Four finished. I was not one of them. I went back six months later and passed.
Going back was hard. However, in life, it's often that the second try is needed to get to the good stuff. Never give up.
Most men trust God with their backup plan still in their pocket.

That is the difference.

Jason Bateman reveals the secret to having a long lasting marriage
"I married a friend, as opposed to a girlfriend. That was a big one for me because... the girlfriends that you had before this current marriage you're in didn't last. You break up with girlfriends. I found that I didn't break up with friends."
"What was keeping me with my friends? What was that dynamic? What did I like about them, what did they like about me, who was I when I was with them?"
"Find someone you're sêxually attracted to that's also a friend."
"Amanda I knew was that for many years before she agreed to go out with me, and really before I deserved to go out with her. I was still working out a bunch of other crap, and she sensed that."
I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to experience life with you. "Taste this. Look at that. Hear this song." Over and over. Until you can't imagine experiencing life without them.
Today, we celebrate the Feast of St. Thomas More, patron saint of lawyers and a model of moral courage, integrity, and freedom of conscience.
His legacy can be seen throughout Notre Dame Law School and is now further enriched by the addition of the St. Thomas More Collection in the Kresge Law Library. Gifted by St. John’s University School of Law, the collection comprises 431 volumes spanning 293 titles, including rare works that illuminate More’s enduring influence at the intersection of faith, intellect, and law.

Actor Vin Diesel separated from his partner three years ago, but when they broke up, he didn't ask her to leave their home because he was concerned she would be living in less comfortable conditions. So he left their marital home and rented a small apartment near her.
In addition, he sent weekly bills for her and her daughter, paid all monthly internet, phone and electricity bills, and categorically refused to allow the media to publish anything about their separation.
Six years later, his partner had an accident on her way home from a shopping trip. He went to the hospital, stayed by her side, and even donated blood. When she recovered, they got back together.
In conclusion: love and respect must always endure, preserving precious shared memories and respecting one another. This is true love, human sacrifice, and the meaning of life.
Left behind in Kabul. Alone. He waited 47 days.
K-9 Chaos was not a dog who did his job. He was a dog who had DECIDED, completely, permanently, without reservation, that Lieutenant Marcus Webb was coming back for him. No matter how long it took.
At Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, on the morning of August 30th, 2021, a three-year-old Belgian Malinois sat in an empty aircraft hangar. The last American plane had left six hours ago. The evacuation was over.
Chaos had been left behind.
Not intentionally. The chaos of the withdrawal. The panic. The rush. Webb had been separated from Chaos during the final evacuation. Put on a different plane. Told Chaos would be on the next flight.
There was no next flight.
Chaos survived the first day alone. Waiting at the hangar where Webb had left him.
Chaos survived the first week. Scavenging food from abandoned military supplies.
Chaos survived 47 days in Taliban-controlled Kabul. Alone. Hiding. Waiting.
Because Chaos survived on the belief that Webb wouldn't leave him forever.
Back in the United States, Webb was losing his mind. Filed reports. Called congressmen. Contacted rescue organizations. Went on the news.
"I left my dog in Afghanistan," he said on CNN, his voice breaking. "I left my brother. And I'm going to get him back."
The military said it was impossible. Kabul had fallen. Taliban controlled the airport. No way to extract a dog.
Webb didn't care about impossible.
He contacted Pineapple Express, a veteran-run extraction operation. Gave them Chaos's last known location. Sent photos. Videos. Anything that could help.
For 47 days, Webb didn't sleep. Didn't eat properly. Just waited for news.
On October 16th, 2021, his phone rang.
"We found him," the voice said. "We found Chaos."
A rescue team had infiltrated Kabul. Used Webb's intel. Found Chaos still at the hangar. Still waiting. Forty-seven days later.
Chaos was emaciated. Dehydrated. Traumatized.
But alive.
The extraction took three days. Smuggling Chaos out of Taliban-controlled territory. Through checkpoints. Through danger.
But they got him out.
On October 19th, 2021, Chaos landed at Dulles International Airport. Webb was waiting on the tarmac.
When they opened the crate, Chaos didn't move. Stared at Webb like he was seeing a ghost.
"It's me, brother," Webb said, kneeling down. "I came back. I promised I'd come back."
Chaos stepped out slowly. Walked to Webb. Collapsed into his arms.
The reunion video went viral. Seventeen million views in three days.
But what people didn't see was what happened after.
For six months, Chaos wouldn't sleep unless Webb was in the room. Wouldn't eat unless Webb fed him. Wouldn't go outside unless Webb went first.
"He's terrified I'll leave him again," Webb said in an interview. "And I don't blame him. I left him once. In the worst place. At the worst time. He waited 47 days for me. And I'll spend the rest of my life making sure he knows I'm never leaving again."
Three years later, Chaos still sleeps with his head on Webb's chest. Still follows him everywhere.
Still making sure Webb doesn't disappear.
K-9 Chaos. Survived 47 days alone in Kabul. Extracted by heroes. Reunited with his handler. Home.
