The elites have totally abandoned us and their responsibility to steward the nation We’re on the brink of war, deaths of despair are at an all time high, the economy is fake And the plutocracy is launching ultra premium tequila brands. We need Greatness

The natural disaster in the Texan Hill Country is a tragedy. My prayers are with Texas. Rainmaker did not operate in the affected area on the 3rd or 4th or contribute to the floods that occurred over the region. Rainmaker will always be fully transparent.

Every 20-30 man I know who is Great™️ or that’s aspiring for Greatness™️ seems to get mentally and spiritually obliterated daily They’re not without joy, wisdom, or purpose, but constantly raw Maybe that’s the cost of glory, maybe I’m just a sensitive young man
