How to Transition from Grind to Great + Ice Cream Truck Analogy
I believe in the early years you need to grind it out. Grind it out longer than the competition. Grind it out for as long as it takes! The #1 enemy is complacency.
What is a skill you can develop and grind so that eventually you can become great at it?
Grind on that skill. Grind out a business because once you get good, you'll start to love it more and find deeper meaning, and then once you become great it won't be like "grinding" anymore. It will still be hustle, but not grinding.
Right now though we're in the grinding stage.
In this video I cover what grinding is, why it's important to grind, and how grinding looks once you achieve greatness.
I use an analogy revolving around ice cream truck businesses to point out simple truths about grinding and how to achieve greatness from grinding hard at your dreams.
If you believe we’re in a “climate emergency” or a “climate crisis” then wouldn’t you support doing whatever it took to end it?
The Democratic Party says we’re in a “climate crisis,” but acts like we aren’t.
They sign toothless international agreements to relieve the political pressure of having to actually do something meaningful.
They preach about the importance of the environment while attacking those who are doing the most for it.
They are against raising the federal gas tax, which hasn’t been raised since 1993.
They cancel the Keystone Pipeline even though it’s a better and safer way to transport crude oil and then go ahead and waive sanctions on Russia’s oil pipeline.
They are in lockstep with academia and the teachers' unions, which do an expensively poor job in educating our youth in STEM therefore creating a STEM shortage.
They are against oil subsidies in theory, but then increase oil subsidies and oil drilling. Now, the Democratic Party is in favor of “green” subsidies, but even Elon Musk who could be on the receiving end of some of them in the Build Back Better bill said, “don’t pass it” because he sees it for what it is: cronyism.
The Democratic Party is against natural gas, even though it's much cleaner than other fossil fuels.
They are against nuclear energy, which is the single best way to reduce CO2.
They tend to live and govern from concrete jungles as they fly around in private jets.
And they rather fear-monger over a “climate crisis” as it helps them win elections instead of uniting in a genuine bipartisan effort to reduce pollution.
Actions speak louder than words.
The Democratic Party wants to keep a “winning issue” an issue for as long as possible no matter how many people die from pollution because inside the beltway the goal isn’t protecting the environment but winning elections; not change, but control.

In this video I breakdown the exchange between Joe Rogan and Joey Diaz on immigration to gain a broader deeper understanding on the topic...
Let me ask you, as someone who was born in another country, how do you think that they should handle the immigrants that are here? This is the big question. A lot of people know people that are, I mean probably a lot of people listening know someone who they love that's illegal, whether they're illegal from Canada or they're illegal from Europe, or they're illegal from Mexico, where the f*ck there's a lot of people that get over here and stay over here that aren't supposed to be here some of them turn out to be amazing people so how do you decide how do you decide who gets to say and there's someone coming over here trying to make their life a better a better thing but just doing it illegally does that automatically discount them from staying here that seems crazy what if they're great because a lot of people come over here because they were super unfortunate and where they were born and they dude they grew up in a shitty place and they wanted to make it better but they didn't know how to do it so they came over to America by hook or by crook they figured out how to get here they got here and now they're kicking ask why why would you want to get rid of them as long as they're not criminals long I hurt (immigration joe rogan) anybody why would you want to get rid of them?
Did you ever notice that maybe were full yeah we're probably it's maybe we'll full did you notice that when you go on there's homeless people I'm in Torah f*cking Boulevard I'm Lancashire Boulevard under bridges everywhere has that ever come to your mind that anywhere you go this cars that we're and the between uber and lyft and cabs now there's traffic every major f*cking city there's a lock or whatever did you notice that maybe Immigration Joe Rogan it's not that I hate Cubans or Mexicans or Puerto Ricans or black for Germans Irish maybe that will f*cking fault have you ever come to that conclusion yeah we're just full right now yeah we have to take five years or four I would accept that I would accept that I would accept a special circumstances like why you have family here so but this point right now I will f*ck them for ya yeah we'll fall we don't have nowhere else to put anymore we really don't looking no steadies unless we pack them all to Iowa and send them all you know send them all into my where's the highest population of Mexicans in the country I would probably say Southern California right wrong really Chicago in Chicago yeah hi they form a ton of sh*t up in Chicago ah Illinois you know where's the highest population of Puerto Ricans the Bronx you're wrong Cleveland clean doesn't the 50s they shipped today all the dealers were wo

One of my key political beliefs is that cheap is better than free!
You see we hear politicians promise “free” stuff, but what they’re really promising is a government monopoly, but monopolies are never good, whether they be public or private because they lead to rising costs and diminishing quality.
This is why I not only differ with the socialist-left, but also the libertarian-right because the free market can lead to the consolidation of power too, but instead of being in a few government officials hands it’ll be in a few private individuals hands, which is preferable to the former because they won't have a trillion-dollar military behind them, but it’s still far from ideal because once these corporate monopolies become entrenched they can be very difficult to break up. To break up a corporate monopoly, you either need to embrace your inner Teddy Roosevelt, increase taxes on them to level the playing field, or hope some new technology that could be 10, 50, 100 years away will be capable of dislodging them.
So I believe rather than the government trying to make things “free” by taking over the market it should make things “cheap” by growing the market.
Using this chart, we can see Americans spend the most amount of money on housing, transportation, food, healthcare, and education…
So I think the central question we should be asking ourselves is, “How can we reduce costs in these areas so Americans can have more disposable income?”
And don't get it twisted... making things cheaper is not an ideological purity test. There are proposals on the left and on the right that can help reduce costs.
For example, a “public option” in housing, transportation, food, healthcare, and education could help spur competition and therefore reduce costs and increase quality. Most conservatives support a “public option” for K - 12 education, aka vouchers. Most conservatives support a “public option” for transportation, i.e. trains, buses, and sidewalks. But the problem with a “public option” is that the government is not operating on the same market based incentives as the rest of the competition, which means a “public option” can be sabotaged by conservatives who want to make sure it’s underfunded so they can say, “See! I told you it would be bad!” or conversely it could be so well-funded that private companies couldn’t compete to the point where the “public option” overtime would turn into a government monopoly, which is what a lot of Democrats openly hope for and believe will happen when it comes to healthcare, i.e. Pete Buttigieg saying in the debates that his “public option” would eventually become medicare-for-all because everyone would want it. But personally, I believe if there is to be a “publi

The filibuster isn’t a constitutional creation.
The filibuster is a creature of the swamp.
In its current form, the filibuster was created in the 1970s. As a matter of principle, anything created in the 1970s should probably be killed, including the Department of Education and my cousin Chuck.
Prior to the 1970s, the filibuster existed as a “talking filibuster” whereby a Senator had to literally speak on the floor of the Senate to stall the will of the majority, but the longest filibuster was 24 hours so it wasn’t a very effective obstruction tactic hence why it was rarely done whereas today just the threat of a filibuster effectively kills a bill.
The filibuster was created in its current form, I’d argue because Democrats wanted to maintain party unity. Democrats had control of the U.S. Senate from 1955 to 1997. You see, during the 1960s Democrats had fractured over Civil Rights so by increasing the power of the filibuster Democrats could say to black voters, “Shucks! We’d really like to help you there, but unfortunately, we now need 60 votes to make it happen so we have no choice but to focus on other issues. Peace!” The point of the filibuster therefore was to INCREASE political polarization, i.e. increase unity among Democrats.
Democrats liked the filibuster when it helped them maintain power, but now that the American population has become more urbanized/coastalized it gives rural states even more disproportionate power in the Senate, which now hurts Democrats.
Politicians being politicians, Senate Republicans of course want to keep the filibuster as it is because it basically means it’ll be impossible for Democrats to pass more than one bill a year (reconciliation) without their approval since the chances of Republicans having less than 40 seats in the Senate is close to 0.
As a conservative though I think we should reform the filibuster because the filibuster has been one of the greatest culprits in creating a ballooning federal government where the only legislation that can get passed is that which is stuffed with pork and is voted on before any Senator even had a chance to read it so as to have “plausible deniability” and where the president is effectively extorted into signing the omnibus bill to avoid a government shutdown.
In addition, the filibuster has clogged the legislative pipeline too much, therefore, leading Democratic and Republican presidents to increasingly go around the Senate, and therefore the U.S. Constitution, to enact their agenda.
Republicans like David Harsanyi acknowledge some of my concerns but think, “conservatives would be better off living with what they have now,” i.e. a slow creep toward socialism is better than a sprint toward socialism.
I think we owe the future more than tha

As of 2020, there are 1,260 newspapers in America. Over 80% of them are owned by large holding companies.
Since 1970, the number of daily newspapers in America has fallen by almost 30%.
I believe newspapers have been disappearing because of shorter attention spans, weaker communities, increasing corporatization, and more people consuming content for free online (wink, wink).
As part of the Build Back Better bill, Democrats want the government to give at least $12,500 to every “local” newspaper employee in the country.
Recently they changed the bill to where over the course of five years the federal government will give “local” newspapers an $85,000 payroll tax credit per employee.
The Joint Committee on Taxation pegs the cost at $1.7 billion over 10 years.
And let me ask you: why is the cost staggered over 10 years, therefore, forcing future Americans who had no say in the matter to pay for a subsidy that expired long ago?
San Fransisco Congressman Ro Khanna [D] defended the legislation by saying,
But Ro Khanna hasn’t read the Build Back Better bill. No legislator has! So it’s understandable he doesn’t know how the bill is actually written, but he shouldn’t speak with such certainty about something to which he had only read the bullets points to.
If he actually read the bill it’s clearly not just for “rural” newspapers. It’s for any newspaper with less than 750 employees, which means outside of the Top 10 that’s virtually every newspaper in the country with the vast majority of whom existing in cities and owned by massive media conglomerates.
In judging legislation, one also shouldn’t view it in a vacuum but consider it alongside everything else the government already does. Does adding an additional responsibility to the federal government (funding conglomerates’ “local journalists”) make sense when it can’t even competently carry out its basic constitutional duties?
And let’s be honest here, Democrats.
The media is overwhelmingly Democrat. According to FEC data, 88% of journalists and 91% of editors are Democrats.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton received 500 newspaper endorsements whereas the would-be-winner received 28, which of those 28 only two had circulations above 100,000 readers.
So by Democrats giving billions of taxpayer dollars to the newspaper industry, Democrats are overwhelmingly subsidizing their supporters. Imagine the Left’s outrage if a Republican president gave $1.7 billion to talk radio.
Build Back Better is of, by, and for Democrats.
Democrats want to keep their supporters typing away at your expense! Any real journalist would call the government out for subverting the meaning of a “free” and “independent” press.
Once virtually all of America’s newspape

Imagine you’re 84 years old.
You put in your dentures and step into your spacious bathroom.
You shower, comb the one hair on your head, and then go out into the world.
First, you go to the local grocery store to pick up the baloney that goes on sale this time of year.
But when you get the aisle it’s not there!
You ask one of the “designated shoppers,” as the workers prefer to be called, for help.
You don’t speak the same language so you keep shouting into his ear, “baloney! baloney!” You even giggle to yourself at the hilarity of the situation and how if your friends were still alive they would have found it funny too.
You look down at the ground.
The designated shopper then uses some translation app to inform you that they no longer sell baloney. Not enough demand. But he tells you the good news… they just got a new shipment of insects, which are all the craze for the upcoming holiday that you don’t celebrate.
You go home disappointed and call your daughter to vent, but she is in another country around the world and so you realize she’s probably still sleeping.
Your mind then drifts to the “Good ol’ days”, they were hard, but at least you felt like you belonged.
This, my friends, is what the future (and the present for many people) feels like with unfettered capitalism and immigration.
Now for the purpose of this post I’m going to refrain from attacking capitalism because overall it has done more good to uplift humanity from the shackles of destitution than any other ideology, but the innovation it sparks also causes new problems, which I discuss in some length elsewhere regarding the existential threat artificial general intelligence will inevitably lead to if left unregulated.
But on here I want to focus on immigration because I don’t think enough of my fellow millennials, likely you if you’re reading this, truly understand WHY too much immigration is bad…
The mainstream media says the elderly are against immigrants because of racism. It’s always easier to dismiss someone when you assume the worst intentions, but they’re plenty of intelligent, educated, non-racists who are against mass immigration.
Old people throughout the world are disproportionally against immigration because of the slow undoing of all the cultural norms they once held dear.
They’re against it because of culture, not color.
They remember back to the things they did as kids, which at the time they probably thought ridiculous or annoying, but it served as a sort of rite of passage, and gave their life a deeper sense of meaning and connectivity to the past/present/future.

We had the largest turnout in American history — 145 million votes — where Donald J. Trump got more votes than any presidential candidate in American history, except for Joe Biden. In my opinion, this election broke another record by being the most negative since the American Civil War where red states got redder and blue states got bluer.
So did this polarization lead to the higher turnout?
TIME columnist Olivia B. Waxman and USA Today columnist Michael P. McDonald think so, but political scientists Shanto Iyengar of Stanford and Stephen Ansolabehere of Harvard have long believed negative ads, “shrink and polarize the electorate.” Political science schools such as the one I graduated from argue that when campaigns “go negative” it’s more about reducing turnout for your opponent than increasing turnout for yourself. The bottom line is it’s hard to explain away such a massive uptick in turnout to America’s ongoing trend of greater political polarization because after all, there was a higher turnout in 2008 vs. 2012/2016 even though the latter two elections had a more polarized electorate.
Many experts accurately predicted we’d see a massive increase in turnout in 2020 based on how campaigns were broadening their net to target more voters, and although I had agreed with their prediction I disagreed with their rationale because I thought we’d see an increase not because of the campaigns, but despite them. In 2020, many Republicans and Democrats held their nose for their preferred candidate whereas in 2008 both sides proudly proclaimed their vote for either Obama or McCain.
So I believe the real reason for this unprecedented turnout was because of GOTV advancements. You see take a close look at the most effective GOTV strategies…
Four-of-the-top-five strategies have to do with telling you and your neighbors if you have voted (a not-so-subtle threat, “We are watching you!”), targeted advertising, and election day reminders. It’s costly, but it works.
So now let’s imagine the perfect GOTV tool where you could remind and pressure your supporters on a daily basis for little to no money.
Introducing… social media.
After Google, Apple, and Facebook banned Alex Jones at virtually the same time, I wrote about how as the 2018 and 2020 elections approached that we could expect Big Tech’s political activism to ramp up by sending us all sorts of alerts before the election. I didn’t expect just how far they’d go in 2020 whereby any post about the election would cause A.I. to add a link directing people where and when to vote. I’m not saying social media encouraging voting is a bad thing, but this tactic alone exerted a massive influence on our election not to mention all the other tactics they used to

We all know that education in America is broken, but how to fix it? The mainstream tells us it's because of a lack of funding or too much testing, but in reality, it comes down to power and who has it (hint: not students, parents, taxpayers, non-tenured teachers). In this video, I attempt to go beyond traditional right-wing policies by exploring Degree-by-Examination + Education Savings Accounts (DEESA).
##
Democrats are usually the first to blame America’s problems on education.
But then that means they’re primarily blaming themselves because they have a virtual monopoly over education.
According to FEC data, 87% of high school teachers and 90% of professors are Democrats. Since 1980, the teachers' unions have contributed 30% more to federal campaigns than any other corporation or union, of which 95% has gone to Democrats.
It’s therefore unsurprising that Democrats tell us the problem with education is that we don’t give them enough money when in reality America already spends more money per student than virtually any other country on Earth and at any other point in our history!
In my home state of New York, which has the second-lowest literacy rate in the country we spend $25K per student.
But this isn’t to say our education system is ineffective.
It’s just to say that it’s effective at getting money and power.
It’s in our oligarchy’s self-interest to get you to support free pre-K and college because rather than tell you what to think for at least 12 years they’d like to do so for at least 18 years because hopefully by then you’ll be a good little conformist.
Do you have the critical thinking skills and the intellectual courage to see the truth?
Do you understand that the problem with education isn’t a lack of funding, but a lack of freedom?
The ultimate question, therefore, is how can students take back control over their education?
Well, virtually every Republican politician has been arguing for school vouchers and charter schools for decades, which I support, but yet even in the reddest of red states they’re virtually non-existent.
Clearly, Republicans need to return to the whiteboard.
On the federal level, we already know we need to abolish the Department of Education and student loans because education is a state responsibility and federal student loans drive up tuition prices on degrees that often don’t reflect market demand.
And then on the state level, a state should accredit degrees-by-examination.
Any state resident should be able to get a high school diploma, associate’s degree, vocational degree, and bachelor's degree for free purely through examination.
If passing an exam without any college is good enough to become an EMT, commercial airline pilot, railroad conductor, electrician, plum
