President Biden is a man of deep faith and extraordinary resilience. Chasten and I are keeping him, and the entire Biden family, in our prayers for strength and healing.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Please take note of my nephew’s place in the CLE half marathon this morning. 444th. Incredible.

It was an honor to have met with President Biden in the Oval Office just weeks before he left office.

Today, I am sending my deepest prayers to the President and his family, and am hoping for his speedy recovery.

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.

Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.

Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?

Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.

Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.

Stop escaping it.

Death penalty for anyone who rapes a child, kills a child, teen, in America, a special tribunal that must have a 2 week turn around, once caught, 2 week trial & if guilty, put to death in 2 days

As a reminder, torture is against both our US Constitution and the Geneva Convention. And while our Constitution does call for a speedy trial as a right of the accused, the speed of the trial is not to be at the expense of other requirements for due process, such as the right to a trial by jury, to call in witnesses, to cross examine one's accuser, etc.

Your calls for special tribunals with sped up "warp speed" trials, or no trials, remind me of Big Pharma and our government claiming there was n…

in this case we torture....you go tell it to the parents of the little girls

I never said no jury, I said a speedy trial...and again, I said once declarative...same way I say if you physically target attack any police, any military, any border agent, IMO we need no trial, in that case shot on the spot

If someone is actively attacking the police with lethal force, they already have the right to shoot that person in self defense or the defense of others. However, if you're referring to a situation where someone is not an imminent threat to anyone's safety or if they were a threat they have been subdued, then NO the police, military, border patrol etc. don't have a right to shoot that person. Remember, at least one January 6th prisoner is still in jail because they reportedly bumped into a poli…

Agree with your comments. He's just lost me as a subscriber. I was all in support of his covid content and maybe he should just stick with that. My state of TN has already passed a bill that the death penalty will be applied against child rape but like you said we have due process for a reason.
