The democratic establishment fears @stephenasmith. Why you may ask? Because he can actually move the black American vote dems have owned since 1964. He’s to the democrats what Trump was to the Republican establishment. He doesn’t need to move 50% of the black vote. 20 million black Americans voted in the 2024 general election. If he moves 10%, it’s 2 million votes. Even 5% is a million votes. That’s quite scary for the dems. Their strategy: 1. Undermine him 2. Demonize him 3. Character assassinate him 4. Find any kind of dirt in his past even if you have to pay people. They’ll bring previous ESPN employees or other colleagues. Worst case, they’ll make up stories 5. Eventually they’ll LOSE him or force him out of politics He’s the only reasonable common sense democrat out there. But the Democratic Party is currently owned by the DSA. They evenly recently converted @GavinNewsom into becoming a socialist. If they’re smart, they’ll put him in and ask him for feedback. Ask him for his point of view. Highly unlikely but we’ll see.

Don't chase the crowd. Build something the crowd eventually has to notice.

Don't measure relationships by how long you've known someone. Measure them by how consistently they've shown up.

The most effective way to create wealth is boring. It's "buy and hold". I bought a Kobe card for $6,000 in 2007 and sold it for $17,000 in 2009. I thought I won. Today that card is worth over $2,000,000. Be patient.

Your calendar reveals your priorities. If you can't say no, someone else will decide how you spend your time. Set clear boundaries, protect your focus, and don't confuse people being disappointed with you doing something wrong.

If your team follows you because they have to, you're a boss. If they follow you because they want to, you're a leader.

Spain could be headed into a civil war. This isn’t just a border dispute. Spain spent centuries under Muslim rule before Christian kingdoms fought for generations to reclaim the peninsula. Morocco still disputes Spain’s control of Ceuta and Melilla today. The past has a way of resurfacing itself.

Your greatest growth won't happen when you're surrounded by applause. It'll happen when nobody's watching and you choose not to quit.

The people who become difficult to break usually went through seasons where they had no one to lean on but themselves.

Character can't be faked forever. Time eventually uncovers everyone's true intentions.

Discipline starts in the mind. If you can't control your thoughts, it'll be hard to control your life.

Don't fear the lonely seasons. They build the judgment, confidence, and resilience you'll need for the next chapter.

The heaviest weight you'll ever carry isn't on your body it's other people's opinions of you. The day you stop living for their approval is the day you start living on your own terms.

Don't rush to judge people. Give it time. Time has a way of exposing motives that words can hide.

Time teaches you that a few people you can trust are worth more than a thousand people who know your name.
