TWEETS OF NOTE

• (@conservmillen) I had NO idea there were so many people willing to openly celebrate the murder of a father because he’s the CEO of a health insurance company. Progressives never cease to shock me with how unapologetically evil they can be Tweet.
• (@mayemusk) Having children is the greatest gift in your life. When Elon was born, we were in a small two bedroom apartment overlooking a garage. When Kimbal was born, we moved to a two bedroom apartment with a view. When Tosca was born, we moved to a two bedroom house. All in the same area. We didn’t go out for dinner nor to the movies. As my former-husband was promoted at the engineering firm, we upgraded our lifestyle. He then opened his own engineering firm, and we could move to a beautiful home in a better area. Children give you your greatest joy in the world. I never felt like I was sacrificing anything. As soon as I could afford some help in the house, I opened my dietetics practice in my home. My career was on hold for a short while, but so worth it. Have children, add value to your life. Tweet.
