When challenged on the notion that America wasn’t founded as a Christian nation, Charlie Kirk responds: “9 out of the original 13 states required … a declaration of faith to be able to serve in government.”
America was founded as a Christian Nation.
Will Guidara told me about a guy who owns two UPS stores:
Every employee has to comp one customer up to $40 every shift, and write down who they comped and why.
Customers got surprised, the employees got to play the hero, and they started reading every person who walked in to figure out who needed it most.
The scariest thing in the world is truly going all in on something. Because it strips away every single pre-built excuse you may have for falling short. You’re completely naked. It’s terrifying. But it’s also why all the rewards in life go to those who have the courage to do it.
A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind.
The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position.
Next play mentality.
Chris Camillo reveals the only way out for a regular person to build generational wealth.
If you are a regular person with a regular job, the only crack you have at this is coming to terms with the fact that you can be a great investor. You can just do it on the side and have fun with it.
You do not have to work with technicals. You do not need to be a pedigreed Wharton grad. You do not even have to understand finance at all, especially in the day of AI.
All you have to do is figure out how to observe the world around you. You just connect the dots of change to companies that are either benefiting or being harmed by the change you see happening.
Most of that seeing is simply watching videos on TikTok and reading comments. If that is not a fun way to make money, I do not know what is.
Elon Musk is not stealing from you.
Gavin Newsom is stealing from you.
Karen Bass is stealing from you.
Tim Walz is stealing from you.
Elizabeth Warren is stealing from you.
AOC is stealing from you.
Becoming wealthy does not make you evil.
The people who take from you, promising to fix problems and then enriching themselves while trying to get you to hate those they're taking the money from... are evil.
Elon Musk: Legacy media are very effective at making people believe things that aren't true.
“Unfortunately, what I've learned is that legacy media propaganda is very effective at making people believe things that aren't true. For example, how many legacy media publications, talk shows, whatever, tried to claim that I was a Nazi because of some random hand gesture at a rally where all I said was that my heart goes out to you.
I was talking about space travel, and yet legacy media promoted that as though that was a deliberate Nazi gesture. In fact, every politician, any public speaker who's spoken for any length of time has made the exact same gesture. I've never harmed a single person.”
Interview with David Faber, May 20, 2025
If in June, I make a few posts speaking about homosexual sin, someone inevitably asks:
“Why are you so obsessed with this one sin?”
The question assumes that speaking frequently about a topic means you are obsessed with it. But that’s not necessarily true.
For one thing, there are no major parades celebrating greed. There are no months dedicated to adultery. There are no corporate campaigns promoting gluttony. There are no flags representing covetousness.
There is no massive cultural movement insisting that greed is good, that adultery is virtuous, or that gluttony should be celebrated.
The issue is not simply that homosexuality is sinful. The issue is that an entire movement has arisen to celebrate it, normalize it, and demand public approval for it.
When a particular sin is being promoted as righteousness, faithful Christians must speak to that issue.
Second, it is simply false that Scripture only has a few isolated things to say about homosexuality.
The issue touches the very foundations of creation itself.
The Bible begins with God creating mankind male and female. He establishes marriage. He commands man to be fruitful and multiply. Homosexuality rejects the created order and denies God’s design for man, woman, marriage, and family.
This is not some obscure issue buried in a handful of verses. It strikes at the heart of what it means to be human.
Third, responding to a loud cultural movement does not make someone obsessed.
Imagine a city under attack. One man sounds the alarm and takes his place on the wall. Another man looks at him and says, “Why are you so obsessed with defending that gate?”
The answer is obvious: because that’s where the attack is happening.
The obsession is not with defending the wall. The obsession belongs to those who keep attacking it.
Or to put it another way, if people spend an entire month celebrating something, promoting it, defending it, and demanding approval for it, it is strange to accuse the person offering criticism of being the obsessed one.
A soldier is not faithful because he guards the quiet parts of the battlefield. He is faithful because he stands where the fighting is fiercest.
Likewise, pastors and Christians must be willing to speak where the pressure is greatest and where the consequences for speaking are highest.
If I faithfully preach the truth everywhere except at the very point where the truth is under attack, then I am not really defending the truth at all.
We are dealing with a subject where people who speak plainly are often met with outrage. Many do not simply disagree. They rage. They attempt to shame. They try to get people fired. They try to dox them. They seek to remove them from respectable society. They want to punish those who refuse to affirm what God condemns.
That is precisely why faithful men must continue to speak.
The church needs men who are willing to tell the truth even when it is costly. It needs pastors who will not retreat when the pressure increases. And it needs men who cannot easily be canceled to use that position for the good of others rather than remaining silent.
Truth requires no courage when everyone agrees with it.
Courage is required when speaking the truth may cost you friendships, opportunities, reputation, or comfort.
The real question is not, “Why are you talking about this?”
The real question is, “Why does our culture become so angry whenever anyone dares to say what God has already said?”
why Ron Baron makes billions while most people lose everything
when asked how he turned a little money into $40 billion by just ignoring the news - he dropped the cold truth:
"guys stare at screens all day trying to guess what happens next - we buy a company and literally don't look at the price for years"
"when tesla crashed in 2019 everyone in finance panicked and sold - we didn't care at all, kept all our shares, and made $4 billion"
"regular guys sell the second a stock drops a few bucks - we buy a good company and just leave it alone even when everyone is freaking out"
Baron didn't make $40 billion by guessing what happens tomorrow. He made it by just sitting on his hands and doing absolutely nothing while everyone else panics
bookmark and watch him explain how he actually plays the game
There is also precedent to not allowing blacks to get the priesthood until the government threatened them with taxing the church for excluding them. Not all were welcome until the govt threatened taxing them. Then prophet Kimball received divine revelation that blacks could now hold the priesthood.
