America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

Today I deployed a rare but powerful technique: The Sacred Paw of Awakening™. She woke up. I got fed. Balance was restored. Masterclass enrollment now open.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike.

His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

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.

Wake up tired—not just sleepy, but worn-out-in-your-bones tired?

Still trusting Jesus but wondering how much more you’re supposed to carry?

Trying to show up, do the work, love your people—and not lose yourself in the middle of it?

Same.

And if you’re into:

✝️ Jesus (for real—not just coffee cup quotes)

We're halfway through it! As we hit the year's midpoint, it's the perfect time to reflect on the significant developments we’ve seen so far. In my latest dispatch I delve into critical global events, from the Israel-Palestine conflict, Iranian presidential elections, the Ukraine-Russia war, Taiwan tensions, and much more. Check it out now!

Damn dude that’s an epic

Thank you! Though in hindsight, what a silly thing for me to do, I could've just posted the sub-headers as their own articles. 🤷‍♂️ I'll have to transition away from this “Year in Forecast / in Progress / in Retrospect” format next year.

Thoughts On The Israeli Embassy Staff Killings

Two Israeli embassy staffers getting shot in Washington DC is less newsworthy than tens of thousands of Palestinians being killed in Israel’s genocidal land grab. It is less important. It deserves less attention. It is not the main story. Israel’s genocide in Gaza is the main story.

Dangling food in front of starving people with tortured spirits and depleted bodies to deceive them, to torment and crush them, to manipulate the world, to accelerate the extermination campaign, to get sadistic gratification, to be Zionist, to be an Israeli, to be America

Support for Israel used to be the overwhelmingly dominant opinion in the western world. Luckily that's changing, but the fact that this was the case until Israel exposed itself shows you really can't just go along with majority opinion on any issue. You need to think for yourself.

Ignore what the crowd says. Ignore people who scream at you for disagreeing with their position. Look at the raw facts as free from your own cognitive biases as you are able, and have the courage to stand on your own if necessary.
