Well, it was a great night for the Democrats. History tells us that control of the Senate and House of Representatives often shifts back-and-forth between Democrats and Republicans. Bill Clinton balanced the federal budget while working with a Republican controlled Senate and House of Representatives. I sincerely hope President Trump will be able to work amicably with the new Congress. Republican leadership has no one to blame but themselves. Too much division. Too much Washington DC nonsense. Passing the SAVE America Act would have been a big boost for Republicans up and down the ticket nationwide. Ask yourself why that didn’t happen.

Paul, you tried to derail the new Republican Mayor of Sioux Falls. Forgive me if I don’t buy into your sudden Republican hysteria.

For you Learjet 60 conspiracy theorists… you are either an absolute evil human or you’re posting nonsense to get clicks. Either way you are a pathetic human being.

South Dakota pay attention. If Andrew Yang is supporting a candidate… You should vote exactly opposite. Andrew Yang is about as liberal as they come. Flat out socialist.

Day before the election and my phone has gotten more political texts than I received total in the past 30 days. 😂 Haven’t been a candidate, I’m in no position to complain. 🤷‍♂️

Clocks fell back an hour last night. My body did not get the memo. 😂 Every year we do this and nobody can explain why. How about we pick one time and leave it alone. 🤷‍♂️

I love Saturdays. I’ve spent years using weekends to gain an advantage. Weekdays in the business world are hectic. Bouncing back-and-forth between many companies eats up most of my time during the week.  Early mornings, late nights, and weekends is where I find the time to brainstorm, develop long-term planning, and get a two day headstart on my competitors for the next work week. I’ve learned something over 30 years of business. Success really doesn’t come from one big decision or one brilliant idea. It comes from thousands of little decisions, made consistently, over time. Often times the biggest competitive advantage isn’t money, talent, or opportunity. It’s simply being willing to put in the time and effort consistently over a long period of time. I don’t have hobbies. I don’t go on fishing trips, I don’t go on hunting trips, and I rarely vacation. Every extra hour of time I can find is used to improve my companies, mentor leaders, and provide opportunities for others. Thankfully, because of the rapid increase in technology the last 10 or 15 years, I’m able to multitask and spend tons of time with my family and grand kiddos as well. I’ve known many successful people, that as soon as they had more than they needed, they retired. They take their cash and they head to the golf course. And I have no issue with that. I don’t begrudge those people. They worked hard, they earned it, and it’s their right to do whatever they want. I just have a strong desire and belief that it is my duty to exhaust every last bit of energy and value I have and put it into something positive. This is why I will never retire. I will never slow down. I will wake up every day, more determined and more committed to build a brighter future for my teams, my family, and everyone else around me. This particular Saturday, happens to be the last day of the month. Which for those of you in the business world, you know what that means. It means today we get our report cards for the last 30 days. And tomorrow when we wake up, it’s all wiped clean and we start over again. Many companies don’t get their bills paid until the last few days of the month. So if you’re lucky and you have a good month, the last few days ends up being your profit. That’s why closing out months is so important in the business world. If you win, you get home late at night on the last day of the month and you have a glass of wine. If you lose, you get home late on the last day of the month and you have a glass of wine. And then the next morning it starts all over again.  For those of you looking to get ahead in the business world — you don’t have to be the smartest, you don’t have to have the most talented, you don’t need the greatest education,  you have to change your mindset. This isn’t a job, this is a lifestyle choice. Choosing to work 360 days a year from morning till night, and making many sacrifices along the way, is a lifestyle choice. And it certainly isn’t for everyone. In fact, I really wouldn’t recommend it to very many people. To all of the business owners out there, good luck finishing out your month.   Happy Halloween! 🎃

Banks dressed up as an astronaut. 🚀 Eleanor dressed up as a duck. 🐥 Lila dressed up as Nemo. 🐠 Bergen dressed up as a pumpkin. 🎃 And grandpa dressed up as a washed-up gubernatorial candidate. 😂  Happy Halloween, everybody! 

New SD POLL (concord, oct 22-26, 448 likely voters) Senate: Bengs 43%, Rounds 41% Governor: Rhoden 48%, Ahlers 39% Paid for by a democrat group, so take it with a grain of salt. But nobody should be coasting into Tuesday. South Dakota conservatives - VOTE 🇺🇸

Talk to text sucks. Am I the only one that has noticed that the better technology and AI gets, the worse Siri and talk to text is. Talk to text was literally better five years ago. I demand an immediate investigation. 👀😎

I don’t think uncovering 20+ billion dollars in fraud is inspiring. Bernie Sanders is one of the biggest frauds in the history of American politics. I mean this guy is truly despicable. Nothing he says or does is genuine. Vote for Michele Tafoya.

Mamdani is a paper tiger. Bought and paid for. Nothing he says is to be trusted. This guy is a complete communist.

100%. 👇

Aaron Rodgers is a HOF quarterback and a great American.

Experienced a wee bit of this during campaign. Regardless of political affiliation, this type of hatred and anger is utterly unacceptable. Calling Erika Kirk a cu*t and a wh*re is sadistic and satanic. Please find God.

Smithfield hiding its CHINA ownership. I’m sure it’s nothing. Just like the $90 million taxpayer handout for the proposed Sioux Falls project. “Yeah but they’ll leave if we don’t give them the taxpayer handout” BS. This is what happens when you have politicians negotiating with savvy business owners.

Dear political candidates, To the hundreds of you who keep texting me asking for Campaign donations… Just remember, the last idiot I donated $6 million to didn’t even win. That idiot was me. 😂

Yang is a big proponent of universal basic income and an outright leftist. I certainly wouldn’t be flexing his support in SD a week before election. 🤷‍♂️

There’s nothing iconic about a No Kings protest. These losers should get real jobs and actually provide some value to society.
