COT
I’m reading the book A Man of Iron about Grover Cleveland. I’m learning that there are a lot of things about a lot people and events that I don’t know much about. So far in the book I admire that Cleveland stuck to his principles, even vetoing legislation written by house and Senate of his same party. He didn’t have many political friends because of that. I encourage us to learn about something we don’t know much about.
