My suggestion to Canada if they truly want to exist as a player of the future.
Announce an immediate internal Gold purchase program from own domestic mining production. (Like S Korea just did)
Right now it's just being sold to others as their currency & outlook deteriorates.
@JerryOaksmith@WallStreetApes And people willingly put them in their homes! It is mind blowing. “Free Alexa? Free Google Nest? Sure why not! Look its sooo convenient!” 🤬
· Wastes taxpayer money to maintain this operation
36 million small businesses are asking you to terminate this with an executive order or have Congress vote to repeal this.
The Corporate Transparency Act:
· Burdens small businesses (time and money to file)
· Discriminates against small businesses (because companies that make $5 million or more are exempt)
· Discriminates against minorities
· Risks security breaches of personal information.
To President @realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk, and @DOGE, you claim to support de-regulation and oppose government waste.
If true, then why are you allowing the Corporate Transparency Act to go into effect?
HPV vaccine- shared by Mom.
"Caution!!!! LONG, but informative post. A lot of my friends have kids the same ages as mine, (Cami is 13) and this most definitely is something you should be aware of, and is absolutely a matter of life and death. (Call me dramatic, I don’t care. I know what we have been through and I can tell you, the nightmare is very real.)
I’m sitting here at Riley Hospital, writing a post I never thought I’d be making. The last 10 months have been an absolute nightmare, and I think it’s time to tell our story, to try and prevent someone else from going through what we have.
In January, 2020, we went for a doctor visit because Cami had previously had strep throat over Christmas vacation, and we wanted to make sure it wasn’t coming back. (Repeat strep test came back negative) Cami was laughing and joking with the dr and nurses caring for her that day. It came up that she was due for her 2nd HPV vaccine and we were asked if we wanted to go ahead and get it done since we were already there. I asked her and gave consent, and the nurse came and gave her the injection. Within seconds, our whole world changed.
Before Cami got up from the exam table, she told me she didn’t feel very good. Knowing that sometimes that happens, we just got up and went on our way. By the time we got to the elevators, Cami could barely walk, and had to sit down in the elevator. By the time we got to the hospital lobby, she could not make it to my truck, I had to come and pick her up at the doors.
The next 2 hours were pure hell. She started having chest and stomach pains, couldn’t walk, or stand at all, and was having trouble breathing. I called the dr office and let them know I believed she was having a reaction to the shot. They told me, that wasn’t something they had heard of, but if it persisted to let them know. At that point I had had enough. I had Jesse carry her to the truck and I took her straight to the ER.
They ran tests and did bloodwork, but kept telling me she was fine. Everything looked fine. I told them she was NOT FINE, that this all started with the HPV injection and I was told “it shouldn’t be that.” “She’s hyperventilating and just needs to calm down.” 😳😡 She was still struggling to breathe and we were both terrified. Her Blood pressure was up and down and she was still struggling with standing anytime she tried to walk. Anytime she would stand, she would get weak and almost pass out. They said she was dehydrated and ended up giving her 2 bags of fluid and ran a bunch of tests. (She was FINE in the dr office a few hours ago, mind you..)
After 6 hours, we were released with no answers and just told that she was hyperventilating and needed to take deeper breaths, calm down and come back if not better in a couple days, and referred her to a pediatric GI doc for her stomach/chest pain.
Things did NOT get better. She couldn’t stand longer than a couple minutes without almost passing out, and couldn’t walk from one end of the house to the other. I decided to take her to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital ER, to get a second opinion and prayed for some answers. After another 6 hours in there, and many tests run, they believed that she had POTS syndrome, and suggested for us to do a tilt table test ASAP, and to see a pediatric cardiologist. We saw the cardiologist at witham and they confirmed needing the tilt table test to get a gauge on what was happening.
We went for the tilt table test and it was confirmed that she had POTS syndrome. During that test, her BP dropped to 60/30, and just scared us both more. We were referred to a pediatric cardiologist at that point to arrange more tests to see what was going on. We started a treatment plan, with hopes that she would feel better. They said that they believed The injection “zapped the connection between her brain and her adrenal system, depleting her sodium levels.” We were given a treatment plan and sent on our way with high hopes."

Call me an “anti-vaxxer” as much as you like… because I am one.
I wasn’t pre-2020.
I had all my jabs.
No questions asked.
Now I’m no longer ignorant.
I will never have another vaccine.
Neither will my children.
Or theirs.
Who’s with me?
Vince Lombardi said, “Leaders are made, they are not born. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work."
Brian Tracy said, “Leaders set high standards. Refuse to tolerate mediocrity or poor performance.”
Leadership is your behavior.
Leadership is not about your title.
It is about connection and influence.
It is turning a vision into reality.
Leadership is:
• Empowering others
• Building relationships
• Being humble enough to grow
• Helping others achieve
• Constantly learning and improving
11 Habits of Great Leaders
1. Be Committed to Excellence
Everything you do should be done at the highest possible level. Your ability to be great and focus on working at the process will create results. Your commitment to excellence will set an example for everyone else and inspire others.
2. Be Positive
People respond to a positive, constructive, and directed environment. It is easy to be negative, but hard to stay positive. Positivity widens your attention span and gives others the feeling that anything is possible.
3. Be Prepared
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. You can't control the outcome or what happens in every situation, but you can prepare how you walk into those situations and your mindset.
The result of preparation: It’s easier for you and your team to adapt when needed.
4. Be Yourself
Stay within the framework of you. Be authentic because no one else is better at being you than you. Once you fake it, people notice you aren't authentic and lose trust in you.
5. Be Accountable
Excuse-making is contagious. If you start making excuses, then so will others. Hold yourself and others accountable to the highest standard of excellence.
6. Be Near-Sighted and Far-Sighted
Everything should be taken into perspective. Leaders take a short-term view of what's occurring and balance this with the future vision. Your job is to make well-informed decisions from your point of view then communicate this vision.
7. Be Detail-Oriented and Organized
Address all aspects of your team - physical, mental, and organizational. Focusing on the details allows you to be organized and disciplined. Think with a clear mind, and processes will be efficient and productive.
8. Be Fair
Treat people how you would want to be treated. Make sure your value system is seen and heard because this is a direct reflection of you. Be clear in what your values are and stand up for them.
9. Be Firm
When it comes to setting the culture, you must be firm and not budge. You are communicating your values, principles and priorities. There are ways to be flexible, but you need to be firm in communicating your vision.
10. Be Flexible
You must be agile in learning and iterating. When new challenges arise, look for new and innovative solutions. You set processes, but the processes must be flexible to withstand the reality at hand.
11. Believe in Yourself
As a leader, you are always communicating a vision to the team. To do that, you must be confident in yourself and what you believe. Be poised in how you present yourself. If you believe in yourself then others will too.
Leaders focus on the strengths of the team and lead through inspiration.
It has nothing to do with your authority level and everything to do with your mindset and emotional intelligence.
Peter Drucker said, “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.”
