MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY: The Future Belongs to Those Who Show Up.

CULTURE OF CORRUPTION:
Gavin Newsom just used his own PAC to buy $1.5 million worth of his own book. Even more comically, that accounts for 2/3 of the entire print sales. pic.twitter.com/ZvHJqScCB4

HOW IT’S GOING:
Arab media are now openly discussing the collapse of the Islamic Republic and what is going to happen next. Unbelievable, just two months ago. A hint.
