Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, on the American Dream and the values that made America successful 🇺🇸
“I met with Mayor Mamdani the other day, and I said everything I wanted to say. I told him, I salute that flag every morning. Your parents came here for the same reason my grandparents came here. They were Greek immigrants who never finished high school… for the freedom and justice that this country means. People move here to be American.
Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.
I remind people that the Constitution is a legal document, but the principles on which it is based are the most important thing. Those principles and values are freedom of speech, freedom of religion, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.
The pursuit of happiness to them did not mean, ‘Are you happy?’ It meant, have a purpose. You could be an artist. You could be a farmer. You could be a military officer. You could be a caregiver. It meant to make the world a better place, to try to create equal opportunity for people.
We don’t teach those values anymore, and they are the foundation that made this country great.”
MUST WATCH: The incredible true story of the U.S. Air Force officer shot down in Iran, his heroic rescue, and his faith that sustained him.
The greatest military in the history of the world.

🚨 Patriarch Bartholomew has said that he hopes for REUNIFICATION between the Orthodox and Catholic Church
'We await – by grace and help from above – the restoration of full communion with the Church of Rome in the one Body of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, so that the Pentarchy may once again become whole and the ‘five-stringed lyre’ of the universal Church may once again resound in the fullness of its ancient harmony'
@mark_elian_@haqq_ai Congrats on your appointment my friend—a role that demands vision, judgment, and the ability to turn words into impact. You possess all three. They could not have chosen a stronger leader. Proud of you, my friend. This is only the beginning! ⭐️ 🚀👌💪
“Read books. Travel when you can. Learn how to cook one meal exceptionally well. Sit in old bars and talk to strangers. Wear your best jacket to dinner. Appreciate good wine, good music, and good conversation. Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Set the example for younger men who are watching you. Call your parents. Take long walks. Leave your phone behind sometimes. Become the kind of man people feel better after being around. Life is short, so live it well.”
-J.B. Lloyd
PEOPLE RESPECT YOU MORE WHEN…
1. You stop giving a damn about being everyone’s favorite person. Liked by all = respected by none.
2. You say the thing nobody else has the balls to say. Popular opinion doesn’t pay your bills.
3. You walk away, fast, from anything that doesn’t match your values. Loyalty to yourself first.
4. You own your mistakes instead of making excuses. Excuses are for people who ain’t trying to win.
5. You stay ice-cold when everybody else is losing their mind. Chaos is a test, pass it.
6. You chase your purpose, not people’s approval. Approval fades. Purpose builds empires.
To build anything well—a house, a political organization, a business, or a film—you must understand the building process and possess the necessary skills...For all of this, you must go through a careful apprenticeship.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
@SenWarren Absolute nonsense. Total BS. The irony is that people who do nothing in their life like you always pontificate. Wealth destructors are talking about wealth creators. What a joke
