Trad West @trad_west_ - Baldwin fought Saladin, outnumbered 20 to 1, and won. The miracle of the battle of Montgisard:
Baldwin IV became King of Jerusalem at age 13 while suffering from leprosy. Despite having no sensation in his hands and eventual blindness, he refused to hide or retreat. He famously led his knights from the front lines, sometimes strapped to his horse because he couldn't hold the reins.
In 1177, a 16-year-old Baldwin faced the great Muslim general Saladin. Baldwin had only a few hundred knights against Saladin’s 26,000 men. Baldwin dismounted, prostrated himself before the True Cross, and prayed for victory. Against all odds, he shattered Saladin’s army, sending the great general fleeing for his life on a racing camel.
This victory became one of the most miraculous in history, and it was attributed to the presence of the true cross.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent - Thanks to President Trump, the health of the U.S. government's finances is improving.
The current calendar year-to-date deficit is $1.52 trillion, which compares to a deficit of $1.93 trillion for the comparable period last year under Biden, a 21% drop.
Not only is the deficit smaller under President Trump - the economy is also bigger. The full 2025 calendar year budget deficit to GDP may total only 5.5%, substantially lower than the unsustainably high 6.8% in calendar year 2024 under Biden.
Under @POTUS' leadership, we will grow our way out of debt and into prosperity.
