A sneak peek into revealed two things: 1) He enjoys seeing pictures of himself — preferably in the company of Jesus. 2) He has a plaque from the Jewish National Fund prominently displayed on what looks like the Ben Carson basement Hall of Fame. The inscription reads: “Jewish National Fund Tree of Life Award presented…
