On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.
The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.
His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.
When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.
His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."
He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.
Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.
His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."
Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.
Three generations. Three wars. One family.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.
He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.
In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.
Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.
Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
Both of his sons did exactly that.
Last November, CNN said President Trump was losing his grip on the GOP and called him a lame duck.
Last night, Trump-endorsed candidates went 37-0.
Never discount President Trump. He is the leader of the Republican Party!

President Donald J. Trump reads 2 Chronicles 7:11-22:
"Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
And as for you, if thou wilt walk before me, as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you as a man to be ruler in Israel.
But if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why has the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them."
If a director wants to cast a Black person in a White role, that is fine by me. Who am I to tell an artist what to do? My problem is when the system, in this case the Oscars, incentivizes such behavior. Imagine you wanted to start a comedy group and instead of having the freedom to pick the five funniest people you know, you were forced to pick a woman, a Jew, a Chinese person, a Black person, and a Native American. That isn’t art. That’s social engineering, and it infuriates me.
If you're actually panicking over this, your brain is broken. There's been a handful of cases of a disease that's been around for a long time. It's totally irrational to spend any time worrying about it. The fearmonging is predictable, but also retarded.

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks

ABSOLUTE HERO!
Surveillance video out of an Oklahoma high school shows the principal stepping up and tackling an active shooter, completely stopping him before he could even open fire.
This is what real leadership looks like. God bless this man!
$PSQH is clearly in a pivot phase, shifting from its original marketplace model to a fintech/payments platform with strong revenue momentum. I continue to like the stock and maintain my long position. Hoping for a $BIRD -style breakout On Wall Street, everything is possible! Insiders remain heavily invested, with many still holding shares bought at much higher levels.
