Patriotism should go above party, and principle above power.
When will politicians remember that their job is to lead us toward a better future and unite us as Americans instead of dividing us further?
Too often, politicians stand in solidarity with their party simply because it's their party. When loyalty to a political tribe becomes more important than principle, credibility is lost. Eventually, power is too.
Enough is enough with this "power at all costs" mentality.
As citizens, we should hold our leaders accountable and support Builders who put principle before politics and people before power. Thatâs how we grow stronger - together.

Who is right in the Pattie Gonia vs. Patagonia trademark dispute?
To answer that question, you first have to understand why trademarks exist and what actually qualifies as infringement. Trademark laws help prevent confusion in the marketplace.
For a company, its brand is everything. It's what helps consumers decide whether they want to buy a product or service from you in the first place.
At their core, trademark laws are designed around a simple question: Is there a likelihood of confusion for the consumer between one brand and another? Sometimes, large companies abuse these laws and bully smaller competitors (I've encountered my fair share of that over the years), but it also happens the other way around. Some knowingly infringe on trademarks to benefit from someone else's hard work and reputation. This is a growing problem in the age of digital media. A lot of small businesses work really hard, to have othersâ pretend to be them.
Humans are often guided by a sense of fairness. We want businesses to play fair. And that is in essence what trademark law is about.
So who is right between Pattie Gonia and Patagonia? Itâs a question of facts and you won't find the answer scrolling through social media. You'd have to do the research and determine if there is a likelihood of confusion. IF you did your research, let me know your thoughts in the commentsâŠ

If this is true, itâs such a regrettable miss. The world - starting with the Iranian people who have suffered so much under this regime - would be so much better off if the IRR and IRGC fell.
Of course you did, @nytimes. Right as Jews are going offline for a holiday, you publish a classic sidestep piece, trying to once again defend @NickKristof's indefensibly poor reporting.
Your failure of a defense ignores the substance of the problem and addresses only the process.
Let me explain:

Never be too proud to pick up that penny.
Itâs a reminder that every small effort counts, humility is strength, and taking ownership of your circumstances is the pathway to realizing your fullest potential. Also, with the governmentâs decision to stop minting them, pennies have an added attraction: Theyâre collectorsâ items.

Trust your vision and be willing to take calculated risks to protect it. Sometimes, the biggest gambles lead to the greatest successes.

I was invited by my high school to speak about my fatherâs experience as a survivor of the Dachau concentration camp.
This was the first time in 40 years that I had gone back to Lee High School!
Standing in a theater filled with students and teachers, I shared a message that has only grown more important with time: the need to see the humanity in one another. My father held onto that belief throughout his life, even after surviving the unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust.
This Jewish American Heritage Month, I am reminded that his story is not about the past but about what we choose to do now so that such darkness wonât repeat itself. More so, we have an imperative to live every day with purpose, and to bring light to the world, in memory of all those who have suffered before us.
We are all connected, and we all share a responsibility to be builders and never lose sight of our shared humanity.
Thank you Lee High School for having me. It meant more than I can say.

@realDailyWire@benshapiro@TuckerCarlson .@benshapiro told me the company would not trade pursuit of truth & virtue for the "nicotine high of Pakistani clicks and Groyper likes."
"Much of the rest of the 'conservative movement' decided ... to clickwhore by embracing radical Islam ... We decided not to do those things."
Not even exaggerating in the slightest when I say that this is one of the coolest things Iâve ever seenâŠ
A no-dip, mid-air 3 ball? Are you kidding me?
Iâve watching this 100x & I donât plan on stopping any time soon. This is amazing.
Our country agrees on more than we think, but our leaders still canât seem to act on it.
Decades after former President George W. Bush warned about the rise of â-isms,â the same problems remain, and in many ways, they are getting worse as people drift further apart.
We need to come together as Builders to hold our elected officials accountable and focus on getting real work done. Itâs been long enough.

2,200 years ago, the rabbis were already warning us about losing touch with everyday people.
Long before we talked about "ivory tower" thinking, Rabbi Shammai had distilled the antidote into four simple words:
"Speak little. Do much."
It's a deceptively simple idea. Yes, pursue knowledge. Yes, develop your thinking. But never let learning become a substitute for action.
The people who change the world aren't just the ones with the best ideas. They're the ones who do the work.
When I see a founder just focused on the exit, who is growing for the sake of growth and willing to cut corners to get there, that's a red flag for me.
I'd push them to think longer term. More relationship oriented and less transactional.
A lot of people today are optimizing for the short game. But the things that actually build something lasting, like good culture and real trust, take time.
At least that's been my experience.
Why didnât I do this deal on Shark Tank?
No, seriously, Iâm askingâŠwhy?!?
In the Tank, thereâs what a normal Shark is thinking, and then thereâs the 500 things happening in my neurotic ADHD brain at once. It could have been that I had just done a deal right before this one, or it could have been that I temporarily forgot how to make decisions. Who knows!
What I do know is the founders of Hundy seem like terrific entrepreneurs with a fantastic product, and Iâm rooting hard for their success.
