𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗣'𝗦 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘 When Trump floated buying Greenland in 2019, everyone laughed. Vanity project. Real estate fever dream. The media had a field day. Nobody's laughing now. Here's what they missed. Greenland sits on what geologists believe are among the largest untapped deposits of rare earth minerals on the planet. The Tanbreeze and Kvanefjeld deposits alone represent a generational strategic asset — the raw materials the entire modern economy runs on. Semiconductors. Defense systems. Electric vehicles. Everything China is racing to control. And while America was busy laughing at Trump, Denmark was quietly allowing Chinese state-owned mining companies to move in. A company called Shanghai Resources has already established a foothold in Greenland's mining sector. Off-take agreements — contracts guaranteeing China first rights to purchase whatever comes out of the ground — were being locked up one by one. The kicker: American taxpayers have been funding Greenland's defense through NATO the entire time. We were subsidizing the military protection of an island that was being slowly handed to our biggest strategic rival. Trump saw it, called it finished, and issued an ultimatum. Then he backed it up with money. In June 2025 the U.S. Export-Import Bank committed $120 million to fund development of the Tanbreeze mine specifically to get those minerals into Western supply chains before China could lock up the output. This isn't a vanity project. It's a resource war. China knows it. Trump knows it. The only people who didn't know it were the ones too busy laughing in 2019 to pay attention.

Amazing advice. #SteveJobs #Apple
Jaynit@jaynitx

Steve Jobs gave a 15-minute speech at Stanford in 2005 that still changes lives today: "Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories." Story 1: Connecting the dots "I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months. I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made." Steve shares what happened next: "Because I had dropped out, I decided to take a calligraphy class. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the space between letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh, it all came back to me. It was the first computer with beautiful typography." He reflects: "You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path." Story 2: Love and loss "At 30, I got fired from Apple, the company I started. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone. It was devastating. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley." Steve explains what saved him: "But something slowly began to dawn on me, I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over." He shares what came next: "Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again. During the next five years, I started NeXT, started Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple." His advice: "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life. The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle." Story 3: Death "When I was 17, I read a quote: 'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.' Since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something." Steve shares why death is such a powerful tool: "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." He concludes: "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." His final words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."

🚨 TRUMP JUST DID SOMETHING UNPRECEDENTED. HE BLAMED ISRAEL. PUBLICLY. ON TRUTH SOCIAL. Read every line. This changes everything. – Israel hit Iran's South Pars Gas Field — the LARGEST natural gas field on the planet – Trump immediately posted on Truth Social saying the U.S. "knew NOTHING about this particular attack" – He said Israel acted "out of anger" — directly blaming them – He cleared Qatar — "in NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM involved" – Iran retaliated against Qatar's Ras Laffan anyway — the largest LNG facility on Earth is burning – Trump then gave Iran a DIRECT ultimatum: stop hitting Qatar, and we won't destroy South Pars – He said "I do NOT want to authorize this level of violence and destruction" – He cited "the long-term implications on the future of Iran" – The Senate killed the War Powers Resolution 47-53 — he has FULL authority to continue – Brent oil is up 5% on the supply shock – Thousands more U.S. troops being considered for deployment – Germany just withdrew legal support for Israel at the ICJ genocide case Sounds like a threat. It's not. It's actually the opposite. Trump just told Iran exactly how to end this war. Stop hitting Qatar. That's it. One condition. One off-ramp. You don't publicly blame your own ally unless you're trying to create distance. You don't warn your enemy before a strike unless you want them to back down. You don't say "I do not want to authorize this" unless you're looking for a reason NOT to. This is the first de-escalation signal since Day 1. The question now isn't whether Trump wants out. He clearly does. The question is whether Israel listens — or strikes again and kills the off-ramp entirely. You know where this is going… I'll keep you updated in the coming hours and days. Turn on notifications, this is extremely important

𝗩𝗗𝗛: 𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥-𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗜𝗡 𝟵𝟬 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 Victor Davis Hanson just put the Trump era in its proper historical context — and the scale of what he's describing should stop you cold. The last time America saw a president attempt to fundamentally restructure the nature of government was Franklin Roosevelt from the left during the New Deal in the 1930s. What Trump is doing from the right is that consequential. Not a policy adjustment. Not a pendulum swing. A structural counterrevolution. The border is closed. DEI is being dismantled and Trump is winning the argument publicly. Iran no longer poses a nuclear threat for the foreseeable future. Universities are competing with each other to cut deals with the administration rather than defy it. The institutions that enforced left-wing ideological dominance for decades are retreating on multiple fronts simultaneously. But Hanson's most important insight is the one about power. The left exercises power even when they control nothing — no White House, no Congress, no governorship. They do it through universities, through media, through HR departments, through accreditation bodies, through regulatory agencies, through the permanent bureaucracy. They impose an agenda that the majority of Americans oppose — on immigration, on DEI, on gender ideology, on crime — because they captured the institutions that don't require winning elections. What Trump is doing is attacking those institutions directly. And that's why the reaction is so unhinged. This isn't Democrats upset about losing an election. This is an ideological class watching the infrastructure of their unelected power be dismantled in real time. Hanson's warning is worth heeding: brace yourself. The resistance coming will be frantic and fierce precisely because the stakes are existential for the left's ability to govern from the shadows. They know if this counterrevolution succeeds, they'll have to actually win elections to impose their agenda. And they know they can't.
