🚨 Historic Walmart Announcement! 🚨 🧑🍳 I've been kind of quiet lately because, well, I've been cooking something up in the kitchen. Chances are that you are already a subscriber to my weekly Amazon Insiders newsletter. And for that, I salute you. But that's just the…
Philippines trade deal signed and delivered! 0% on American products going into the Philippines. 19% on anything coming into America. This is what winning looks like. I’m not sure how we keep getting everyone to agree to our demands but something is obviously working!
I don’t know why but the new USPS trucks look like Mater from Cars.
If you recognize this PC game, you’re probably married with kids by now.

BREAKING: The S&P 500 breaks above 6,350 for the first time in history, now up over +31% since April 2025. We are witnessing one of the best 3-month rallies in history.
Did you know that China has built sprawling Texas-like suburban neighborhoods that are now used as shelters for cattle? The CCP doesn’t want you to see this or know about the real China. And they definitely don’t want you to know about the millions of Christians locked up.
I refuse to comply. My kids won’t get social media until they are 18. Until there, it’s all about real connectivity with their grandparents, peers, sports, and Bible. Will they be the norm? Absolutely not. And that’s a good thing.
nobody talks about how the internet killed regional culture. everyone under 30 has the same personality now. your grandparents' generation had accents, local customs, regional humor. you have tiktok trends and twitter discourse.
Thanks to the new trade deal with Japan, Toyota can now start selling their $10,000 pickup trucks. No wonder their stock is already up 8% on the news.
I have worked on some huge construction projects including the San Diego Airport. We always had a rule that anytime you were 6’ or higher on a ladder you would have to be tied off in case of a fall. Some window washers go up 25 feet without any protection. Resist the urge.
Posting this here for the SMB community. Jesse Grover, owner of Summit View Exterior Cleaning in Washington passed away last week from injuries sustained on the job. He was a wonderful man and leaves behind a wife and 3 kids. Here’s a gofundme: gofund.me/e9693e53
Spotted this chemtrail today. Just kidding. That’s a contrail and a perfectly normal thing that happens when airplanes hit just the right speed and moisture around their wings.
Japan trade deal complete! 🚀
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇯🇵 President Trump announces "largest deal ever made" with Japan investing $550 billion into the United States and US getting "90% of profits."
I’m seeing a ton of people whining over the new Walmart restrictions. The whining is coming from resellers. Brand owners? They’re rejoicing. This change is going to clean up Walmart in a phenomenal way. Lesson? Don’t settle for arbitrage. Build your own brand!
An open letter to Walmart Marketplace executives: @Walmart @WalmartSellers @walmarthelp
Parents, don’t let your kids be on technology every second of your trip. Have them look at the runway. Explain things to them. Teach them the joy of people watching. Let them explore the terminal. Use it as a growth opportunity.
What did the Samsung Galaxy Note do to the TSA?
I love visiting my extended family in Mississippi. But there’s just something so special about coming home to Texas. Honestly, it’s hard to describe. I never felt like this coming home to Seattle or San Diego. Texas just hits different.
Huge if true.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says he is considering eliminating capital gains tax on houses.
Forget what most Amazon gurus tell you. A 7-figure brand with little to no employees is best case for 99%. 8-figure brands with mountains of employees becomes a prison for most. If your goal is to create freedom, resist the urge to become obsessed with growth.
Major changes are happening at @Walmart for resellers.
Why are the loudest bears the same guys who are on the sidelines with cash? What’s funny is that they are also the same guys who keep screaming about an impending depression. When America marches on and leaves them behind, I fear that they might snap psychologically.
About freaking time! Low interest rates are on the way. 🚀
