Former President Trump will slam President Biden on various issues such as immigration and China during his upcoming speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Fox News reported, citing "sources familiar with the speech."
The outlet said that the former president is not expected to officially throw his hat in the ring for a 2024 presidential run, noting that sources said Trump would be between "warming up to the idea of a 2024 run, and walking right up to the line of announcing another campaign.

So it has always been told to us that there are no coincidences. Well, when the truth finally does come out and is revealed to all. It is going to be up to us to bear the burden of trying to make sense of what was once thought to be astonishingly impossible. We will need to share the light and reason with the people who haven't awakened yet to evil wicked that ruled this world. We are all on one big giant team, trying to preserve ourselves from our selfish overlords. I was working on my online courses this evening and this particular lesson regarding leadership just happens to be the theme for this most recent week's lesson. With so many masks still asleep at the wheel, these blind vessels are going to need guidance and be lead properly through the labyrinth of truth as the Movie we have all been watching and participating in destroys the control system as it crumbles and collapses live in a Truman show like moment. In that moment, we all need to be able to lead. I know I have failed you guys myself and don't blame you if you don't bat another lash in my digital direction. I know I am the last person that is qualified to speak on the subject of leadership amongst some of you vets that truly have experienced actual combat or have ran a successful business. But I would be doing everyone a continued disservice if I ignored sharing this will you all.
My teacher Dawn, said that "Leaders need to respond to individuals based on their needs rather than their faults. Good leaders do this well. They don't lead out of a predetermined package of behaviors, but size up every situation and discern what must happen to reach the desired goal; similar to a Quarterback reading the defense before the snap, then calls an audible from the line of scrimmage. Good leaders remain flexible and may change their response, based not on what a person deserves, but on what need to succeed.
1. They Need: They aren't afraid to admit they need to listen and get understanding.
2. They Read: They evaluate what has happened and what steps are best to take.
3. They Feed: They communicate what they have observed to key players.
4. They Heed: They act on the basis of their discovery, even if it means change.
5. They Lead: They provide direction to those involved.
Another thing I thought could be helpful to others is from John Maxwell's book "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. The aptly title chapter I will refer to here is called The Law of the Picture: The Leader Causes People to Thrive or Groan. To sum it up, in short, is that people often reflect their leadership. One cannot expect a follower to grow beyond their leaders. Just as one cannot expect the followers to turn out functionally different from their leader. People feel attracted to leaders like them, they also reflect those who lead them. Examples are as followed:
1. Attitudes- When good leaders rule, people rejoice, when wicked reigns, people groan.
2. Stability- When moral leaders rule, they establish justice; where compromising leaders tear things down.
3. Compassion- Good leaders express concern for the poor, bad leaders reflect no compassion for anyone.
4. Honesty- When leaders pay attention to lies, their staff begins to esteem the same deceptions.
5. Vision- Solid vision keeps everyone on track, chaos reigns whenever the vision lapses.
I will leave you with this Quote from Ben Horowitz:
"“Early in my career as an engineer, I’d learned that all decisions were objective until the first line of code was written. After that, all decisions were emotional.”
In Greek mythology, the Golden Fleece (Greek: Χρυσόμαλλο δέρας, Chrysómallo déras) is the fleece of the golden-woolled,[a] winged ram, Chrysomallos, which was held in Colchis.[1] The fleece is a symbol of authority and kingship.
It figures in the tale of the hero Jason and his crew of Argonauts, who set out on a quest for the fleece by order of King Pelias, in order to place Jason rightfully on the throne of Iolcus in Thessaly. Through the help of Medea, they acquire the Golden Fleece.

The guy in red is holding up a Trump cutout of someone who looks like President Trump. (Smile isn't broad like the real DJT's smile)
The guy in red and the Trump facsimile are standing in front of a large blown-up photo of the National golf course.
