Stop “flooding the zone” with crazy ideas & gaslighting trial balloons — none of which make us GREAT I want a president to WANT to make our union stronger— not divide us and bring hardship to so many hardworking Americans. You’d be locked up if you & Musk hadn’t colluded to throw the election!!!

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

i think half of "talent" is just a person happening to have fun doing whatever it is they're supposedly talented at, and not hating it. i was "talented" at art at age 3 but if i'd stopped drawing at age 3 because i found it tedious or unrewarding, i'd probably pretty much draw like a 3-year-old now
