The Man in the Arena. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”
“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”
🚨 Elon Musk backs billionaire Warren Buffett’s famous plan to eliminate the deficit in 5 minutes: “You just pass a law that says, ‘Anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection.’”
Elon Musk wrote on 𝕏: “💯 This is the way[!]”
If the politicians in D.C. actually cared about the American people, they would pass this law tomorrow.
What's your response to this.....??👀
Do you firmly support Elon Musk on this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
@Wendi_Irlbeck I agree multi sports should be encouraged, but some kids find a sport they are obsessed with at a young age. Do you force them to try another sport?
@bluewmist Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to have an opinion of you, so stop worrying about them. The sooner you learn this, the easier your life will be.
@JC_ParetsX I once interviewed a former gymnast who walked me through her training routine. It was a no brainer hire and her work ethic was phenomenal as expected.

@DickieV The 8 teams being added to the tournament will be better than at least 20 auto qualifiers in the 64. That is not a watered down tournament. Make the cupcake conferences play real teams to get in the tourney.
The fallout of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
Bill Gates was missing from the Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting held on 2nd May 2026 i.e. yesterday.
It’s the first time since many decades when Bill was not seen at the Berkshire Meeting.
Let’s look at the key events in Buffett and Gates friendship and what happened after Epstein files:
The Bond: Met in 1991, bonded over business logic and bridge. Gates became a Berkshire board member (until 2020) and Buffett’s closest advisor.
The Funding: Since 2006, Buffett donated over $47 billion to the Gates Foundation, making him its largest contributor.
The Trigger: The 2026 release of the "Epstein Files" by the DOJ revealed Gates’ associations with Jeffrey Epstein persisted long after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
The Fallout: Buffett, a staunch defender of his "front-page-of-the-newspaper" reputation, distanced himself immediately. He reportedly hasn't spoken to Gates since the disclosures, citing a misalignment of values.
The Financial Pivot: Cutting Ties: Buffett has halted his massive annual contributions to the Gates Foundation.
The New Legacy: He has revised his will to redirect his remaining $100 Billion fortune into a new trust managed by his three children, Susie, Howard, and Peter, stripping the Gates Foundation of its future windfall.
Buffett being a staunch advocate of clean reputation hopefully will cut ties with Gates permanently…
