Stable leaders are calm problem solvers. Dogs know if you are or not. Do you greet your dog with squeals and let them jump on you? That means they are anxious and think they are tasked with leading you…
Affection is good, only once they are calm.

In Sydney, Australian police kicked out a group of Muslims who had taken over and blocked a street to ‘pray’.
“Public streets are not mosques.”
That’s how you handle it! Nobody does this shit in Muslim countries. They only do it in the West to assert dominance.
There’s a big debate about whether everyone should train fasted, and especially whether the answer is different for men and women.
My view is pretty simple: start with how you feel. If you feel terrible exercising fasted, that matters. Listening to your body is important. There are absolutely times when I need to eat before a workout.
The other big variable is the type and duration of the workout. A 30-minute run or lift is very different from a 2-hour run or lift. If you’re doing a long session, you might need fuel.
From my recent appearance on DOAC with @StevenBartlett.
3 blacks attack a drunk white kid in Birmingham, the female police officer comes in to protect the violent blacks and arrest the white kid
Absolutely disgusting the way white people are treated in England (@KnockoutAudit)
Another clear example of two-tier policing and anti white discrimination.
Watch as the white lad is attacked by 3 non whites in Birmingham.
Police run in, and detain the white lad!
Today’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego is especially notable because it’s the same mosque where two of the 9/11 hijackers — Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, who helped crash American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon — spent significant time and received assistance from associates while living in the area.
Truly insane.
A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views.
He died 5 months after recording it.
It was his final gift to the world.
Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years.
The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom.
And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered.
How to speak.
15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever:
Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end.
Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious.
The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else.
Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough.
Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS.
Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one.
Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing.
Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously.
Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity.
Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by.
End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said.
Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands.
Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order.
The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves.
Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill.
Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing.
Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind.
You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible.
Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs.
He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this.

”Why don’t we put White people on an island so we reduce their population?”
“Here’s the thing though… It would quickly become the best island, and all you guys would want to come to it.”
How about this. Gavin Newsom just Vetoes a bill to find out where Billions went. 20 Billion, he just doesn’t want to be held accountable because he is so Corrupt!
