Thank you, but God deserves the credit 🙂. I will say this... he could have gone to any college with a high GPA and ACT scores, but he knew early on he wanted to work with his hands. He choose a trade and it turned into a niche. He works for a Christian company who recognized that he was not only smart but a hard worker and have promoted him several times over the last few years and now he has his own crew and accounts. All that is to say, working and not going to college is the reason he is so conservative. He knows how voting conservative affect his financial bottom line and his freedoms. My other son goes to a Christian college but even there some of his professors are SJWs. He says he plans vote for Trump but he really dislikes him, he just dislikes Biden more. He follows only liberal news sources, so I have to fill in the information gaps. He is a pacifist, my other son is a fighter. Both have strengths, but my older son loves Trump’s fighting spirit.

Just to add... both were homeschooled. I never pushed any political or religious ideas on them, but I made sure they understood ALL sides. But I did teach them to how to think and use logic to make decisions. Both came down on the side of Christianity and conservatism. I am grateful.

Even Rand Paul and our President seem to have a respectful relationship. And they share more than most people would think. Yes, our President went to military school but he also follows the words and beliefs of the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu. “Soft Power”

I am buying this book and a few extra for friends. I believe everyone could learn from Sun Tzu. Several years ago I was going through a rough time and I carried a small book of Sun Tzu and it was most helpful when I needed guidance and courage. I was beaten down and really needed a starting point in order to change my life.
