Immortality. Bridge School.

I’ve seen this ten times in a row right now.

Mike’s solo here is so incredible that I actually like his solo on the actual studio version even more because of it - it sounds SO good in an intimate setting like this.

Bill Maher drops a reality bomb on Zohram Mamdani voters with a brutal history lesson on socialism.

“We’ve run this experiment many times, and the results are always obvious,” Maher said.

He looked straight into the camera and delivered a blunt warning about Mamdani.

“Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately, it’s the Republican Party.”

“Here’s capitalist South Korea at night from space,” Maher presented, showing a country lit up and thriving.

“Here’s socialist North Korea,” he followed, with the map pitch dark.

“Yeah. In 1990, Venezuela was wealthier than Poland. But then Poland, finally free of Soviet style economics, went all in on capitalism and now their economy is as big as Japan and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes.”

“Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez’s socialism for the 21st century, which turned out to be like socialism in the last century or any century, a f*cking mess.”

“It turned one of Latin America’s richest countries into one of its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, 8 million people fleeing. If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel, you’re in for a rude awokening.”

It isn't my job to tell you what to do.

But IT IS my job to tell you not to trust people who act like they're there to help you when in fact they're facilitating the government's control of you.

Metallica’s ‘One’.
U2’s ‘One’.
Soundgarden’s One and Only Chris Cornell.

Only he could merge the two songs & produce such an unexpected amalgam of beauty.

Wondrous.

RIP, legend

Today marks one year since we lost the great Jimmy Buffett.

His daughter Delaney just shared this private video of her dad along with this caption:

“Four years ago, I helped my dad record a series of videos about some of his lesser known songs. Looking back, these moments with him are even more precious than I realized.

This day, we were talking about his song, Death Of An Unpopular Poet. But we always got off topic, and it often resulted in beautiful tangents that taught me things I never knew about him.

This particular one was a favorite of mine because it captures his spirit so well.

It's been a year, but it feels like yesterday we were together. Life is short. Spend it with the people you love. And keep every voicemail.”

Mohammed Qahtani won the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking. It’s easy to see why.

Please watch his speech. Words have power. Words can be our power. Words can unite or divide. Words can spit venom or can mend a broken soul. Words matter.

A must-watch sermon from Texas Congressman @jamestalarico.

We are praying for this nation. We're people of the Book, and the Book tells us to pray for our leaders, even if we don't agree with them. And Trump is one of our leaders. He was a president. And Joe Biden is one of our leaders. He is the current sitting president.

There aren’t many things that President Biden does that I agree with, but it is my job to pray for him anyway. And certainly to not bring him harm. I can disagree with him and still honor the office and still honor the person. And certainly not engage in any kind of stupidity like some of the rhetoric that has gone on in the last 48 hours—and really has gone on for the last several years.

Some of you are really too serious about what happens in the White House. If you'd concentrate half as much on what happens in your house, you’d be in a whole lot better shape. That's really the common denominator of success. It hasn't got anything to do with those guys up there.

Yes, they do some things that affect our lives, but I've had several of them try to ruin my life, and they hadn't pulled it off. And I've had several of them try to make my life better, and they haven’t pulled that off. I'm old, and I've seen presidents that were going to be the end of democracy, and they weren't. And I've seen presidents that were going to be the second coming of Jesus, and they were not even close.

I think the problem is that the level of anger has to do with the expectations of what the office can provide. Treat these people like people—they have families, they have children, they have friends. I've got friends who are congressmen, friends who are senators, and the stuff that they have to put up with…

Some of you are just out of control, and you should not spend your money on Financial Peace University—You should spend it on counseling.

Concentrate on fighting for or against ideas. When you have to vilify or destroy a person because you disagree with their idea, you've already lost the argument, because you've lost the high ground. You don't have to destroy people for your idea to win.
