Richard Nixon's brutal truth on happiness that hits harder in 2026:
"The unhappiest people in the world are those in the watering places—south coast of France, Newport, Palm Springs, Palm Beach—parties every night, golf every afternoon, bridge, too much drinking, too much talking, too little thinking. Retired, no purpose."
He saw it decades ago: Endless leisure without struggle isn't paradise—it's a slow death of meaning.
"What makes life mean something is purpose, a goal, the battle, the struggle—even if you don't win it."
In an age of quiet quitting, early retirement dreams, and infinite scrolling... Nixon reminds us: The fight is what keeps the soul alive.
What keeps you in the "battle" right now—even when it's exhausting?

Dr. Marandi says there is a significant chance that Trump is making all this up. Trump is, right now, making up stories about what Iran allegedly agreed to in negotiations. He's inventing commitments that Iran never made. He's fabricating a narrative.
Then, in a few days, he will announce that Iran has "broken" those non-existent commitments. He will claim that Iran promised A, B, C, D, E, and F, and then refused to follow through. And then, on the basis of those fabricated violations, he will launch a new military assault on Iran
PROFESSOR MARANDI SAYS THE WAR WILL LIKELY RESTART
“I believe Trump is probably saying all this nonsense about agreements with Iran so that he can later claim, "Iran didn't keep its promises".
Iranians just published the new very banger LEGO AI movie that Trump almost wants to put onto agreement list to stop them.
Do whatever you need to do but don't let Trump watch this 😭🤣😂

No. In fact, the opposite. Israel did.
Hezbollah was protecting the churches.
