Anyone still stuck in Florida (we hope to move in a year!) better stop paying into Florida Prepaid for College. Hopefully that decision was made already and this is a final reminder for those on the fence.
The Florida Board of Governors has voted against the confirmation of Dr. Santa Ono as the University of Florida's next president

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Europe, you are on your own. Do the following, right now:
1. Kick America out of NATO and bring Ukraine in.
2. Build an Army of Europe. Build nukes.
3. Ban Musk and all his products, especially this website.
