Folks, in a world of bad headlines, there is some good news. 👉 Many Americans now realize Trump is fundamentally working against U.S. interests 👉 Germany is re-arming (although might want to hurry this process up a little) 👉 Putin is losing his war

A leader, popular with his men, returns from the distant and rainy north where he has consoliated his rule and sets about a rapid consolidation of power in the capital. But enough about Julius Caesar.

Were Trump asked if he cut down a cherry tree, he would say Biden did it. Were Vance asked if he cut down a cherry tree, he would say that depends. If Biden were asked, he would say look, tree, folks, come on, it's a tree. If Obama, yes for these 29 reasons.

Estimate how long you think something will take you to do. The reality is treble that time. Now set yourself a quarter of the original time estimate to get it done. The reality will be that quarter.

Your two oldest friends, persistence and pragmatism, can become each other's greatest foe. They can turn each other into, respectively, stubbornness and the fickle. For harmony, you must persist in pragmatism about that in which you persist. Focus ≠ Myopia Pivot ≠ Quit

There's only one "H" in Churchill of course, but the name always made me (and I imagine others) think of a little English church on a little English hill. Apex soothing.

I heard a radio advert: "your dream diamond at your dream price." If a diamond is someone's dream diamond, it is big, well-cut and clear. Their dream price for this diamond is 0. If their dream price is 0, the size, cut and clarity matters not. Any free diamond = gain.

Time and again the same lesson occurs to humanity. "Never eat the marshmallow." It's everywhere from the Bible to behavioral science. Time and again the same conclusion occurs to humanity. "My sweet Jesus, marshmallows are my purpose. Please manifest for me a family bag."

Sometimes, to anchor the past, I imagine the dates of historical figures as contemporary dates. For whatever reason, it gives me a better sense of time and brings things closer to home. For example: Franz Ferdinand (1963-2014) Gavrilo Princip (1994-2018)

Throughout history, a sociopathic leader has offered a foreign policy premium alongside a domestic discount. Autocracies bottle that advantage by controlling their domestic populace. Meanwhile, democracies are second movers. That's changing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4bc...

It's mind-boggling how brief U.S. history is. Thomas Jefferson was born in 1743. When Abraham Lincoln was born, in 1809, Jefferson was President. Lincoln died in 1865 when Warren Harding was born. Harding died in 1923. Henry Kissinger was born in 1923 and died in 2023. 🤯

If the USA turns 250 years old on July 4th, 2026, then our constitution is a function of the nation. If it turned 236 years old on May 21, 2026, then our nation is a function of the constitution. July 4, 1776 = Dec of Ind May 21, 1790 = Rhode Island ratifies constitution

Who on earth is using AI to write? Write what? I've spent the last 28 years striving to become a writer. I'm talking about daily practice. Daily reading. Daily writing. It's only in the last 3-4 I've thought to myself, hey, I'm getting the hang of this. And I need another 28.

A.I. is like, instead of Eisenhower, some dood from the private sector proposed the interstate network in the 1950s but couldn't tell you how much it would cost or where the roads would lead, only that it would change everything (and maybe put a lot of people out of work).

I'm so confused about writers who use AI "to write." What ever happened to plagiarism? There was a time copying others' work was considered an instant and irredeemable game over for any writer. I think this period was, very roughly, 3000 B.C. to, what? 2023 A.D.?
