In his book "Ogilvy on Advertising," David Ogilvy said, "If each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants." This quote emphasizes the importance of hiring skilled and capable individuals to achieve great results. Making America great? Au contraire.

There is zero excuse for any Democrat to accept unqualified hacks to lead federal executive agencies or departments. Zero. And just to be very clear, @johnfetterman.com I will not give you one more cent and I regret my past support.

Reality, Facts and Truth are essential tools in the toolbox of real visionaries. Many of today's so-called visionaries seem to buy into any second-rate fantasy and thereby relinquish those powerful tools still available to actual visionaries.

Instead of the billionaire club's clout rubbing off on their greatest of life's mistakes, it is exactly the other way around. The damage he has already done is on their heads and that place where a heart should have been...as will be all that going forward. I mean backward.

This is a massive, urgent report. If you read it all and follow all the in-text citations, you will be as anxious as I am right now. Not just America but the world is headed for ruin under the Trump-Musk autocracy we’re now just fourteen days away from. These men aren’t well, and they intend evil.

Somehow this message isn’t crossing international boundaries with the alacrity or the urgency it needs to: Elon Musk is now a global threat, and his actions will cause mass violence in the near term.

We have now reached the point in the evening where Musk turned into Howard Hughes. Not the 1930s Hughes Aircraft Howard Hughes. I’m talking about the 1967 Howard Hughes holed up on the 9th floor of the Desert Inn in Vegas watching Ice Station Zebra 150 times on a continuous loop.

High above a sea of rolling fog, in the narrow ravines carved by the breath of centuries, rose the hidden monastery of Aen Selûr. Even in hushed twilight, when the swirling mists turned silver, the monastery shimmered like a distant lighthouse guiding travelers who dared ascend.
