“The brain can process two million bits of information per second. It remembers everything you’ve ever seen, everything you’ve ever heard.”

God has given to every one of us more than fourteen billion cells and connections in our brain. Now why would God give us such a complex organ system unless He expects us to use it?

But, you know, when I look at somebody like Hillary Clinton, who sits there and tells her daughter and a government official that no, this was a terrorist attack, and then tells everybody else that it was a video. Where I came from, they call that a lie.

In our culture, security has become an obsession.

When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys.
