Merry Christmas to all! Emmanuel! God with us! foxnews.com/opinion/i-finall… #FoxNews

I finally watched 'It's a Wonderful Life' and my mom was right about one important thing

I watched "It's a Wonderful Life" for the first time and discovered this Christmas movie teaches us deeper lessons about gratitude and God's blessings.

A beautiful Newport, RI sunset at the ⁦@NHBANKERS⁩ and Vermont Bankers Annual Convention. Many thanks to the great folks from Falls River Savings Bank, led by @ICBA Leadership Banker Lorenzo Wilhite, for making us feel right at home. #CommunityBankers are just good people.

It is fitting to have a meeting in the Taft Secretary of War Room when discussing pro-community bank policy as supporting the Administration’s economic agenda since @ICBA is ALWAYS fighting for Main Street! @romerorainey @PMerski
