Ten years ago, I published Grit. In those pages, I wrote down everything I’d discovered about world-class achievers and how passion and perseverance set them apart.

Since then I’ve been studying the situations that make world-class achievement possible.

My research shows that the situation shapes you—but you have the power to shape it first. How?

1. Set up your personal space.
2. Pick your peers.
3. Attract mentors.
4. Choose your culture.

Getting situated means finding the people and places that bring out your best.

Grit is great, but to realize your potential, you also need to get situated.

Pre-order Situated. Out September 1st.

Beautiful weekend for a LIV golf tournament at Trump National in VA. Sure would be a shame if it were ruined by this ad running on heavy rotation on the Golf Channel in the club house and targeting every phone in the vicinity. Oh. Wait. 😈🏴‍☠️

Pope Leo in Bamenda: “Woe to those who bend religions and the very name of God to their own military, economic, and political objectives, dragging what is holy into what is most filthy and dark. Yes, dear brothers and sisters, you who hunger and thirst for justice, you poor, merciful, meek, and pure of heart, you who have wept are the light of the world! Bamenda, you today are the city on the hill, splendid in the eyes of all!"

BREAKING: The Catholic Church HUMILIATES J.D. Vance and Mike Johnson by releasing a brutal statement explaining "just war theory" after they both tried to invoke it to defend Trump's illegal Iran War.

This is like arguing theoretical physics with Albert Einstein...

“For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war," Bishop James Massa, the chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Doctrine, said in a statement.

"A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword ‘in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed’ (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2308)," he continued. "That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: ‘He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.’"

“When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ," he added. "The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars.”

The statement offers a sharp rebuke to Vance, a man who claims to be a Catholic, after he argued at a Turning Points USA event that the pope was wrong to criticize the war.

“I think it’s very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology‚” Vance, an adult convert to the faith, said. “If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth." He added that there is a “more than 1,000-year tradition of just war theory” within the Catholic Church.

Speaker Johnson, an Evangelical, echoed similar sentiments earlier today when he said that he was "taken aback" by Pope Leo's anti-war remarks.

“It’s a very well-settled matter of Christian theology. There’s something called the just war doctrine," said Johnson.

While Vance and Johnson are correct in the very narrow sense that just war theory exists, they are dead wrong in their application. The Iran War meets none of the criteria under the time-honored framework and in fact violates every single one of them.

According to the Catholic Catechism and traditions dating back to Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas, a war must have a "just cause," which this one clearly does not. Trump attacked Iran because Israel wanted to destabilize a regional adversary in order to make their territorial expansion easier.

It must be waged with "legitimate authority" but Trump didn't seek Congressional approval in blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution.

It must be motivated by "right intention" but the White House can't even articulate coherent goals for the conflict. One day they pretend it's about nuclear weapons (despite our intelligence agencies concluding that Iran was not seeking such weapons). The next day it's about bringing democracy to the oppressed Iranian people (a claim that's dramatically undermined by the killing of those very same civilians by American bombs).

It must have a "probability of success" which this war did not. Trump was never going to bomb Iran into submission and a ground war would end in unmitigated disaster for the United States. This war was always going to be a terroristic bombing campaign that resulted in nothing but the loss of innocent lives.

A war must have "proportionality," meaning that it prevents more harm than it causes. In the case of the Iran War, no harm has been prevented but mass suffering has been inflicted, not just in Iran, but also in Lebanon where Israel has launched a brutal invasion, slaughtering civilian populations and seizing land.

In other words, Pope Leo is absolutely right to condemn this war as a moral atrocity. Vance and Johnson have abandoned the true teachings of Jesus Christ to pander to the demented pedophile in the White House. They have chosen political power over truth and revealed themselves as fraudulent Christians in the process.

Please ❤️ and share if you staunchly oppose the Iran War!

BREAKING: BOMBSHELL Epstein news, as reported by the Miami Herald, an unusual number of shredded documents were removed from Epstein's jail just days after his death.

Instead of COLLECTING, they were shredding. "They are shredding everything," an inmate said.

Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.

Kittie Knox didn’t just ride a bicycle, she rode straight through the boundaries of race, gender, and expectation.

Next in our Women’s History Month series, we’re honoring Kittie Knox, a trailblazing cyclist whose quiet determination helped reshape who belonged on the road.

Born in Massachusetts in 1874, Kittie was the daughter of a Black tailor and a white millworker. After her father died, her family moved to Boston’s West End, where opportunities were scarce.

Kittie worked as a seamstress, but her creativity didn’t stop at the sewing table. She designed her own cycling kit, stitching together style, function, and freedom.

Then, in 1893, she joined the League of American Wheelmen, becoming the first African American member of the national cycling organization at a time when few women were welcomed at all. A year later, the League changed its constitution to restrict membership to just white riders. The rule was not retroactive, so Kittie kept her place and was determined to show just how wrong that rule was.

She completed grueling century rides, raced across Massachusetts, and won a League meet in Waltham. But the road was rarely smooth. But, even when she was denied entry to races and refused service at hotels and restaurants while traveling, she still showed up, again and again.

At a time when women were expected to cycle in long skirts, Kittie chose baggy trousers, prioritizing movement over convention. At the time, newspapers often commented more on her clothes than her speed. But history remembers both the bold style and the stronger spirit behind it.

Kittie was a true pioneer whose legacy extends to every modern-day race.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the riders who refused to stay in their lane, and the paths they opened for the rest of us.
