the best time to change your life was years ago. the second best time is today. you can’t go back and fix the time you lost, but you can decide that you won’t lose another year waiting for the perfect moment. start where you are, with what you have and let progress build from there. your past may explain where you are, but it doesn’t have to decide where you go.

The most powerful thing President Trump can do right now is to just walk away— it’s his best option to end the war with Iran. To do so effectively, he has to be prepared to dismiss the inevitable onslaught of pressure campaigns and screaming from the pro-war, Israeli lobby neocon crew he’ll undoubtedly face. They’ll tell him he’s surrendering & hurting his legacy, that he’s endangering American lives—never mind, of course, the Americans already killed and wounded, or those who are still in harm’s way as this foolish war drags on. Their narrative is nonsense. Until Iran, Trump was on track to right the ship domestically. The reality is, this warmonger class has always hated Trump, & they talked him into this mess hoping it would destroy his legacy and derail his administration’s promise to finally put the needs of the American people first. Trump’s power lies in walking away now and refusing to bow to the pressures of the machine, proving he can’t be controlled. His supporters will understand that this the right call. President Trump clearly understands that there is no viable military solution to this war. Hopefully, by now he also sees that Iran will not present a formal deal he can realistically accept. Again—we MUST consider the effect our killing the Ayatollah & bombing the girls’ school has had on radicalizing the Iranians. It’s very likely that both for the sake of its national honor & for deterrence, Iran will feel compelled to drag us back into the war in order to force the U.S. to a humiliating retreat. Notice that the Iranians will not commit to opening the SOH. This is by design: as long as our assets remain in the region, they have leverage. Hardliners in Iran want Trump stuck so they have the excuse to escalate— it’s critical to not take that bait. Choosing to maintain the naval blockade is inviting a disaster that will ultimately force that escalation, and on Iran’s terms. Iran has proven its ballistic missiles can reach our ships—we are one failed interceptor away from a mass casualty event that propels us into a broader war. The blockade, just like our bases in the region, quickly becomes a liability, not an asset. This is why NOW is the time to leave. Declare victory, then quietly offer sanctions relief & the unfreezing of assets in exchange for Iran opening the SOH. Trump has the political power to frame this maneuvering as a win, but his time to do so successfully is running out.

THE BILLIONAIRES MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES While the very rich are getting richer, working families are struggling to afford health care, housing, groceries and other basic necessities. In the midst of unprecedented income and wealth inequality, the billionaire class must start paying their fair share of taxes. My 5% wealth tax, which would apply to fewer than 1,000 billionaires, would raise over $4.4 trillion in new revenue which would allow us to: ✅Provide $12,000 to a working family of four ✅Enact universal childcare ✅Expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing ✅End homelessness ✅Require a $60,000 minimum salary for teachers The time is long overdue for the U.S. government to begin representing the needs of working families, not billionaire campaign contributors. Let us stand together. Let’s get this done.

The bet Warsh is making before midterms: Hawkish communication can tighten conditions before the political calendar makes another hike increasingly difficult. “By the time we get to September, we may not need those hikes because the long end has already taken care of it.” – @fejau_inc

The time for weakness is over! We need English and British patriots to stand up. We are running out of time, and the Patriot Platform will allow us to connect, organise and act! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧✝️

The ones who win are comfortable looking stupid for a while. Everyone loves the idea of catching something early before others catch on, but trust me, you have no idea how it feels to hold on to something thinking you've got it wrong. I've been early to plenty of things and made fuck all and it's rough. However, the time it does pay off, nothing can replace that feeling. That one hit makes all the times you looked retarded worth it, yet the problem is most people don't get there. They tap out right when its boring and their doubt is eating them alive. Being early and being wrong feel the same until it doesn't. Get comfortable being doubted.
