This week in DC: Episode I:The Pork Awakens The bipartisan spending bill arrives Episode II:Rise of DOGE Innovation efforts made. Episode III: Freedom Caucus Purifies Purist end hopes of innovation. Episode IV: The Bureaucracy Strikes Back Emperor Jeffries rises… Passes legislation. The End!

Trump wants to kill daylight savings! A 30-35 billion $ impact! Eliminating DST would hit harder than you think: •Evening Businesses: Less daylight = fewer customers = lost revenue. •Families: Kids lose time for outdoor activities. •Your Wallet: Higher energy bills as lights come on sooner.

The Trump narrative will be a challenge for historians. Six months ago, he was the only president impeached twice & facing 93 criminal charges. Now, he is ringing NYSE bell and Time’s person of the year. Historians are going to have a tough time with this one! How do you think it will shake out?

Biden breaks the record for granting pardons and clemency. Trump won't be happy to be in second place. Will this open the door to Trump wanting to beat the new pardon record? Do you think he will try to compete? 😂

Daniel Penny has been found not guilty! Do you agree with the verdict? Why or why not?

This is the energy that governs the world!! Most of us don't walk around as outrage machines. Yet, that is the way of life on social media. After our favorite influencers reveal what we should be mad about today....

You could play pin the donkey in a room of generals and have a better DOD pick than Pete Hegseth. Or at least not a drunk….. This guys brand is horrible now! Usually Trump cares about that sort of thing….

People are over-reacting to the Hunter Biden pardon. It is a father saving his son. A very human act. You can speculate about other nefarious things in the background. You can get mad that he mis-led on whether he would pardon. But what's a father going to do? Was ANYONE surprised? Really?

Would you let your child rot in prison to prove a point? Joe Biden wouldn’t and I can’t blame him! it’s his son. Wouldn’t it be more scandalous if he didn’t? Which one of you wouldn’t pardon your child? Biden can be branded a liar, or be remembered as a father who chose his family over optics

I love neuroscience and what the brain is capable of. When you understand how the brain works then you understand the unlimited possibilities open to us. So today I’m starting off with 10 facts #neuroscience underpins. #leadership #personaldevelopment #selfawareness #love #dailymotivation #selflove

14 million players in the Fortnite live event! One of them being my 12 year old son! Here is the view! Snoop Dogg was up first! Imagine having this when we were kids! Fortnite’s brand continuesto elevate!!!!! #fortnite

Every small business is a roll of the dice on the American dream! This Small Business Saturday, bet on one! Small businesses feed families, create jobs, and grind every day to stay afloat. Each one is a gamble on the American Dream, and their success keeps our communities thriving.

VCs getting debanked is a warning sign for the broader financial system. If institutions backing innovation and growth can lose access to banking, what does that mean for everyone else? It raises serious concerns about fairness, risk, and the influence of gatekeepers.

You can choose to disappear. Or choose to create. You can't do both. Creation leads to visibility.

Obama said in his farewell address: “Without a willingness to admit new information and concede that your opponent might be making a fair point were going to keep talking past each other and will make common ground and compromise impossible.” Democracy dies in silos! Let’s be better!

Today’s about gratefulness and love. Let’s focus on the moments that truly matter, the people around us, and the joy of sharing. Pass this onto your followers and make this Thanksgiving one to remember. 🦃🍂 #ThanksgivingDay #Thanksgiving2024

****A friendly reminder**** Let relationships be more important than politics! As we prepare for Thanksgiving, let’s put partisanship aside. A neighbor's kindness is more important than who they vote for and blood is thicker than partisanship; family is for lifetime, politics is transactional!

Justin Fields is leading the way with Thanksgiving spirit in full effect! We need more athletes to take the mantle as leader and role model. It’s great for their personal brand and wonderful for society. An athlete doesn’t “have to be a role model.” But when they take it on, it inspires us!

*****Breaking News we’ve found “A Black Job”***** it’s Secretary of HUD. Biden did it, and now Trump has had two Black HUD secretaries. 🏡 I'm joking relax! Back to the regularly scheduled program! Will Turner move HUD forward—or is this just optics? What’s your take on the choice?

Donald Trump is set to completely reimagine education! Certainly we are doing terrible in math! However, we are 9th in the world in reading and 16th in science! Given there are about 200 countries are we supposed to think these rankings are bad? What are your thoughts?

Bitcoin keeps flirting with $100,000 but won’t commit. Why? This may not just be traditional market movement—it’s psychological. $100K is a milestone that could scream to many, “Take your profits!” 📉 What will you do when it hits 100K?

Trump Taps Pam Bondi as AG After Gaetz Withdrawal—Was This the Plan All Along? The timing sounds almost too smooth to be a coincidence! Trump announced Pam Bondi as his AG pick just hours after Gaetz withdrew himself from consideration. It’s almost like Bondi was in the wings, ready to step up..

Matt Gaetz……

Matt Gaetz couldn’t get confirmed for dog catcher! He’d fail at that job! Am I wrong?

My first day on blue sky! What is the vibe here? Still trying to feel it out. Any advisement is welcomed!

Are Jets fans are done with Aaron Rodgers! Last year they were so optimistic then he was done in the first week. This year he plays and delivers nothing but heartache. Will he retire semi-embarrassed or double down & be in disgrace next year? Thoughts?
