@marklevinshow Sounds like you’re bitter that I ratioed you and you had to delete your lying dishonest tweet about my friend @FmrRepMTG, or face a lawsuit.

Tune in to CSPAN Monday to hear my speech honoring the Americans who were visciously attacked by Israel while serving on the USS Liberty.

You know what else is high? Insurance, but I don't see that industry catching strays.

When boomers are done, the median first-time home buyer will be 48, the national debt will be 60 trillion, the code of federal regulations will be a quarter million pages long, and they will not at any point have been vaguely aware of what they did to this nation.

Congratulations to every single person on the left who’s been campaigning to destroy women’s and girls’ rights. Without you, there’d be no images like this.

In America, 22 year old college graduates with nicotine addiction work 80+ hours a day to keep the M&A market alive.

They call them investment bankers, even though they are just glorified calendar invite senders who know a bit of excel

In other news, water is wet. Btw, did you guys know that bankers also drink alcohol to cope with stress after work?

Ace Hardware is the best retail business in America. It’s the perfect combination of large-company efficiency with small-business entrepreneurship.

Not only are most stores owned by local operators, the parent company itself operates as a coop owned by the retailers. The local operators know that their cost structure is disadvantaged compared to the big-box operators (Lowe’s and Home Depot), so they compete based on strong customer service and active community involvement.

Additionally, because the stores are smaller, they’re able to be situated closer to residential neighborhoods, and they’re much better integrated into the surrounding areas. In many areas, you can drive to the local Ace, get out of your car, ask a clerk to find you an item, pay, and be back on the road in less time than it takes you to park and walk across the 20-acre parking lot at Home Depot.

We need more companies like Ace Hardware in America, and we all��including myself—should do a better job of supporting them.

If you’re tired of sitting in traffic, missing family events, and being out of shape. You’re going to have to do something about it.

Start a side hustle. Learn a new skill. Consult on UpWork.

Make that first dollar on the internet and you’ll never look back.

You've got land near Chicago to sell for $40K per acre.

You want to 1031 exchange that $ to buy cheaper land to set your 2 sons up to farm.

Crops & Cattle. Not picky on types or location.

Where are you investing that $8 million you make off the sale?

It’s very clever of academia to switch attention to plagiarism to distract from the fact that almost all of its research is either wrong or doesn’t even matter if true.
