Good morning ☀️

Starting the day with this powerful Nelson Mandela quote:

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”

The Westminster chatterati’s perception of Birmingham is so utterly deranged by this point I’m actually sitting here laughing

Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."

Fascinating watching American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden. Had no idea they almost had OBL dead in December 2001 but Rumsfeld/GWB wouldn't commit ground troops w/ air support.
