Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

Trump is absurdly, pathetically, desperately "running from prison," as George Conway says. He's desperate to regain power, to hang on to his money, and to not be "the loser" …

I had the sense that this was occurring. UGGG. Small focus groups on CNN and elsewhere of undecided voters *seem to be leaning toward Vice President Harris. Those who say they prefer Trump were already leaning towards Trump.

People are really hung up on the economy.

Presidents Trump and Biden likely forestalled the collapse of the economy coming out of COVID by sending out all those checks; the resultant inflation came from ramping up the money supply to keep the economy afloat. A spat of inflati…

I think Harris needs to address agriculture. It has a chapter in project 2025, which my DA Book club is reading and discussing next week. I understand that farmers would like to hear themselves discussed, and no one is. I doubt they will be reading Project 2025, but Harris has the opportunity to take the lead on this. I saw a farmer interviewed in a German documentary, who is in Georgia. This was filmed after Harris announced, and he said he is undecided until he hears what each party has to sa…

Maybe better for Governor Walz to address since Minnesota is an agro-state.
