"Our head count in Manhattan when I got to JPMorgan was 35,000 and now is 26,000. Our head count in Texas started at 11,000, now it's 33,000. That's what happens." Jamie Dimon on why companies are leaving New York: "Highest individual taxes, highest estate taxes, highest corporate taxes, anti-business sentiment." "When I grew up as a kid in New York City, there were 120 of the Fortune 500 headquarters there. In the 1970s, 60 of the 120 left, including Exxon, GE, IBM, Union Carbide. They're all going to Texas." The Hill & Valley Forum 2026 @HillValleyForum @jpmorgan @ChairmanG

🇯🇵 I often see endless third world resentment toward the West and feel only pity. Hiroshima & Nagasaki were destroyed by atomic bombs. We lost everything. We didn't scream about trauma or demand endless reparations. We rebuilt. Today these cities are beautiful. So, drop the victimhood. Stop blaming history. Change and build something or otherwise get used to being disliked.

BREAKING: JPMorgan Admits It Shut Trump’s Accounts After Jan. 6 Capitol Attack Nation’s largest bank, in response to a lawsuit filed by the president, confirmed his longstanding complaint about “debanking.” Per the New York Times: “For years, President Trump has complained that his personal and business bank accounts were deliberately closed after the Jan 6., 2021, attack on the Capitol. JPMorgan Chase is now admitting that did happen.” It took JP Morgan long enough to admit it.

"For a while there, I was just sleeping under my desk, which is out in the open in the factory, for an important reason. And it was damn uncomfortable sleeping on that floor always when I woke up, I’d smell like metal dust I stopped using the couch in the little conference room and just slept on the floor under my desk so that during shift change, the entire team could see me And that’s important because if they think that their leader is off somewhere having a good time, drinking Mai Tais on a tropical island which I definitely could have been doing and would much have preferred to do I’m not actually a masochist, I think the thing is that since the team could see me sleeping on the floor during shift change, they knew I was there. And that made a huge difference" - ELON MUSK

Reporter: “Sir, on Iran, the Supreme Leader said today that a U.S. attack could spark a regional war. Do you have any response to that?” President Trump: “Why wouldn't he say that? Of course, he’s gonna say that. But we have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there. Very close. A couple of days and hopefully, we'll make a deal. If we don't make a deal, then we'll find out whether or not he was right.”

An illegal bio lab was just raided in Vegas. It appears to be linked to the secret Chinese lab found in California in 2023, which was oozing with E. Coli, HIV, and Malaria. Congress must pass my bill to find these illegal labs and shut them all down.

I am grateful for President Trump’s visionary leadership. I am also grateful to Congress for appropriating an historic $257M to finally address decades of deferred maintenance and repairs at the Trump Kennedy Center. Our goal has always been to not only save and permanently preserve the Center, but to make it the finest Arts Institution in the world. It desperately needs this renovation and temporarily closing the Center just makes sense - it will enable us to better invest our resources, think bigger and make the historic renovations more comprehensive. It also means we will be finished faster. President Trump has a reputation for delivering large construction projects on time, under budget and beautifully finished. This will be a brief closure in retrospect - and I am confident this sets the stage for a stronger, revitalized National Cultural and Entertainment Complex.

Courage is a consequence of action. When a person chooses to act in the face of fear the outcome of that action is courage. That is the only way you develop courage: Take Action!

Interviewer: “Your mental strength is your greatest gift.” Novak Djokovic: “I need to correct you. It’s not a gift. It’s something that comes with work.” Use The Method—that is the “work”!

Fear is an unsustainable emotion and therefore it is not a valid way to motivate anyone, including yourself. When a person focuses on fear he or she will lose energy faster that they can achieve progress. Focus on what you want—not on what you fear!

“If the goal doesn’t challenge you it won’t change you.” Your Power Goal should be very hard to achieve, it should be at the edge of your current capacity, and maybe a little beyond it. Otherwise, the goal is useless in achieving the main objective, which is to transform you.

“You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.” ~James Allen Do you have a “dominant aspiration”? If not then you know where you’re going, because you certainly have a controlling desire ready to take over. Use The Method!

If a rogue union in California seizes 8% from paper billionaires for its pet project, everyone with a just cause will run a vote to seize private property. Seize homes for homeless, companies for workers, savings for spenders. Once the goose is bit, don’t be last to the feast.
