If you’re a reporter and you don’t explain to your audience that Israel is trying to buy the Michigan Senate seat for $50 million, you’re not a reporter. If you don’t explain to voters that a lobby for a foreign country is trying to control our Senate, you’re not a journalist.
one common trait I find in high achieving individuals is urgency. it looks almost like impatience until you understand it is closer to reverence, a deep refusal to waste the one thing they can’t buy more of. the alarm goes and they rise. the message is answered while it is still warm. the small task is done before it can find a shelf to hide on. they commit and move in a single motion. an idea sparks and they chase it that day, before the world talks them out of it. they run at their own lives like something is at stake, because they have decided something is.
you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.
Happy Birthday America!
If I was born in any other country I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wasn’t born into wealth. I shouldn’t be MrBeast. This country gave me the freedom to chase my dreams and mindset that I can achieve anything. America isn’t perfect but dam I love her 🇺🇸
250 years ago our greatest grandfathers beat the dogshit out of the most powerful military on the planet over a 3% tax and now we can’t deport 100 million immigrants that hate us because women and gays think it would be mean
250 years, and your empire has been reduced to a single island the size of Michigan, with a GDP barely higher than Mississippi, the poorest of our fifty states.
Enjoy your warm beer in that unairconditioned old pub.
Don’t talk too much shit online though, you might get arrested.
