  1. I’m 20/500 with Nystagmus. I’ve done all sorts of things I had no business attempting, including producing top hit video games for 30 years, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, competitive windsurfing.

    Wtg Jacob!

  2. 60 minutes is the show that is made up of lies that a group of people get together and make it sound as as good as they can without it becoming an obvious lie that 60 minutes for you Joe Biden and Russia's President Putin or best of friends that's why Joe biden's son got over 300 and something million dollars from Russia Putin is a brilliant president much better than Joe Biden because look at the prices Americans have to pay because of Joe Biden and Putin's plan of war in Korean Ukraine Joe biden's son was paid over $300 and something billion dollars from Russia he come and brought that money to the United States and split it with the government and stole the presidency in 2020 now come 2024 if the right person is not in the White House civil war will break out in this country and all politicians must be eliminated everybody that thinks that they're in control must go at any cost

  3. Here's my thing! You have box's of information that you took from the White House, of which you shouldn't have, and now you have these Arabs playing golf with him! Do you think he shared this information with these Arabs in Mar-a-Lago? Hummmm?

  4. Would be great if 60 minutes spent a little more times on stories like this rather than on the non-stop stories about how corrupt our elected officials are in D.C and across our nation. I have spent the last 44 years working with athletes such as Jacob. Every year there are hundreds of stories about young men and women who do not let their disabilities represent and define who they are. If you ever want to do one of these stories, I recommend you stop by the University of Illinois(Urbana-Champaign.) The program at this University has been turning out amazing athletes who every four years make up a large % of the athletes on the US Paralympic Team for the last 73 years. Most of these gifted athletes are members of either the Men's and Women's wheelchair racing or basketball teams. In 2012 Illinois also became the USOPC National Training Center for Wheelchair Racing. We not only turn out world-class athletes, we also produce individuals with a physical disability who go on to pay taxes and work toe to toe in the competitive workplace with their able bodied peers. What I have found most impressive about our program is the fact that we do it with almost zero support from our Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. Thanks for Jacob's story, he personifies to me what is the true heartbeat of our great nation.

  5. What an accomplished young man. What a lovely group of siblings to support and grow with him. I love the attitude of his Father. God bless the all. I can't wait to show my son this story.
