It humbles me to see "Built To Last" being read by people from across the globe. (I love checking out video backgrounds in those who buy it and post about it). You can see the post here: www.instagram.com/p/DQhbYmVk2Mp/ and get the book, of course, from here: www.amazon.com/Built-Last-S...

Families that exercise together, grow healthy together! Imagine the bond that forms and the practices that are learnt when you exercise with your five-year-old. The basis to good health truly starts at home. www.amazon.com/Built-Last-S...

It's Friday (and Halloween) - a perfect opportunity to give this. Both a roadmap and a hint to what is coming next from me (and that's all I will say for now).

"go to TikTok. See for yourself."

Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake:

“They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"

Yeah world leaders figuring out POTUS is a rotting pumpkin with legs and all you have to do is compliment him to get what you want isn’t great.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

There's a bipartisan push by some in Colorado's congressional delegation to free a father and children seized by ICE on their way to school in Durango. ICE has not suggested the father committed any crime.

Much of this is because of her book and yes, it's heartbreaking.

I spent the entire Biden presidency warning idiotic establishment Senate Dems and Biden who opposed getting rid of the filibuster that Trump and the GOP would come back to power and do it themselves. I hate to say I told you so but… I fucking told you so.

The POTUS, as ever, is lying. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Imagine using the pain of real people, feeling serious difficulty in their daily lives as a bargaining ploy to force the people who care about that and are fighting for it not to happen, to cave so that it does happen. Imagine.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.
