I spent 24 years wearing this nations uniform. Do you know what nobody ever told me? That if I worked hard enough and sacrificed enough, someday my military career could be decided by the political opinion of a Fox News pundit playing Defense Secretary.

Mamdani is the Democrats’ worst nightmare because he’s living proof that they’re simply not doing their jobs.
Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K+ potholes, protected gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers’ pay to $30/hr and drove violent crime to historic lows.

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

Former Alabama running back Trent Richardson weighed in on Nick Saban’s stance against paying players. “Honestly, I don’t get why he’s even commenting on it, they gave me and my family $75,000 just to commit, plus $10,000 a month to stay at Alabama.”

Not every friend is meant to grow with you. Some were only companions for the version of you that no longer exists. When you change, you disturb the comfort that kept the bond alive. Do not mourn every ending, sometimes losing friends is proof that you are no longer standing still. Growth is lonely, and not everyone has the courage to walk beside it. ✌🏻❤️ UJ #BeKind #GrowthMindset

The biggest regret in your 60s won’t be money. It will be not taking care of your body when you could. Health is the only asset you can’t buy back.

Your job as a startup founder is to learn sales, branding, marketing, and distribution because it isn’t just about the product.

A big company CEO - “We tried to explain to the administration that it takes 2 - 3 years to shift production domestically and that we would need to know the tariffs go for much longer than that to even start and they ignored us. So we are just going to cut spending.”

JUST IN: A strong December jobs report. The US economy added 256,000 jobs (well above expectations). Overall, the US added 2.2 million jobs in 2024. That’s about the same as 2018. Unemployment rate fell slightly to 4.1% Wages grew 3.9% in past year (well above 2.7% inflation) Bottom line: No recession in site. Hiring did slow, but that's what the Fed wanted.

Remind yourself that winning an argument or proving your point really gets you nowhere in the long run. Win through your actions, not your words.

If I didn’t start a business 5 years ago, I’d currently be in debt, working a job I hate and feeling purposeless. This is your sign to bet on yourself and just start. Your future self will thank you.
