90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done."
neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals.
together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity."
spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined.
the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

1979 - John Cleese and Michael Palin are forced to defend the film Life Of Brian to Malcolm Muggeridge and others on the BBC, who accuse them of ridiculing Christ.
Its a long debate, but this is just a flavour of it. Why do people get so defensive when it comes to religion?🙄
People who moved abroad alone in their 20s, handled all docs, bank account, visa, tax, jobs, accomadation, and culture difference

To enter my own office building: ID
To buy cold medicine: ID
To open a bank account: ID
To rent a car: ID
To check into a hotel: ID
To prove to my bank that I'm human: 14 minutes and a CAPTCHA
To vote for the leader of the free world: nothing
If A = B and B = C then A = C
That's the transitive property
I learned it in 7th grade
Apparently not everyone did
My analyst could build a better system in an afternoon

The United States runs the most influential elections in the World.
Our standards should be higher when it comes to election integrity. Requiring proof of citizenship and Voter ID isn’t about suppressing votes.

Can you remember the last time Americans agreed on anything like this?
83% support in today’s America is insane.
Voter ID is good for all Americans.
(Except crooked politicians)
I’ll say it again, when there’s a piece of legislation that 80% of America agrees on and the leader of the senate is trying to tell you that he can’t get the majority party(95% of whom approve) to solidify 50 votes, you aren’t being represented, you are being ruled.
