  1. Rubik’s Cube (Elimination of Bad Thoughts)

    The arrogance of youth…
    The world is not a machine for generating fairness;
    Other people especially not so.

    If you want to drain everything out of your life?
    You are no king or aristocrat:
    Your life will never be filled with people dedicated to your happiness.

    Uninstall the past 20, 25 years-
    Uninstall me-

    Emotions come and go with great rapidity

    How?
    Expect Less.
    Expect Less.
    Demand Less.
    Demand Less.
    Expect Less.

    Regret Less.
    There has been plenty of that…

    Always seeking a solution-
    But there is no solution-
    That IS the solution

  6. A quotation from Ben Franklin

    Robbers must exalted be,
    Small ones on the Gallow-Tree,
    While greater ones ascend to Thrones,
    But what is that to thee or me?

    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
    Poor Richard Improved (1748 ed.)

  7. A quotation from Twain

    Well, I liked the king, and as king I respected him — respected the office; at least respected it as much as I was capable of respecting any unearned supremacy; but as MEN I looked down upon him and his nobles — privately. And he and they liked me, and respected my office; but as an animal, without birth or sham title, they looked down upon me — and were not particularly private about it, either. I didn’t charge for my opinion about them, and they didn’t charge for their opinion about me: the account was square, the books balanced, everybody was satisfied.

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 8 “The Boss”

  11. A quotation from John Adams

    Your “ἄρiςτοi” [aristocrats] are the most difficult Animals to manage, of any thing in the whole Theory and practice of Government. They will not Suffer themselves to be governed. They not only exert all their own Subtilty Industry and courage, but they employ the Commonalty, to knock to pieces every Plan and Model that the most honest Architects in Legislation can invent to keep them within bounds.

    John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
    Letter (1813-07-09) to Thomas Jefferson

  16. The #RockbridgeNetwork has assembled a database with deep profiles of potential #voters through nonpolitical memberships, including outdoors groups & churches, acc/to a person directly familiar with the organization.

    #ChrisBuskirk’s ties to #Trump’s orbit go beyond Rockbridge. #1789Capital, the #VC firm he co-founded with investor #OmeedMalik, focuses on what the partners call “patriotic capitalism” & now counts Donald Trump Jr. as a partner.

  17. #Peltz, who was 81 at the time & made his fortune via junk bonds & leveraged buyouts, had gathered some traditional high rollers, including the hedge-fund manager #JohnPaulson & the Las Vegas casino #tycoon #SteveWynn, as well as #RonnaMcDaniel, then the chair of the #RNC. He had also invited #ElonMusk.
