Gatestone Institute Senior Fellow Gordon Chang (@GordonGChang) responds to a report about China using Linkedin to attract spy recruiters: "This is a problem, but we have tools to deal with this."

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration. More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

Success creates its own trap. As your business grows, it often becomes 70-80%+ of your total net worth. This is when many owners unknowingly pass The Freedom Point — the moment when selling your business would provide enough (after tax) to fund your desired lifestyle indefinitely. Yet they keep going, staying heavily concentrated and “Risk On.” Add the 4 Ds (Divorce, Departure, Disability, Death) and the risk becomes very real. Calculating your Freedom Point brings clarity and real optionality. Book a 15-minute call: tidycal.com/continuity/15-…

Zero tolerance means zero tolerance. The Trump SBA is cracking down on every pandemic fraudster that stole from honest American taxpayers.

Forget industry averages and market timing. There are 8 specific drivers that actually determine what your business is worth. Here they are: 🧵 1. Financial Performance – Revenue + Profitability (table stakes) 2. Monopoly Control – Becoming the best in the world at one specific thing 3. Switzerland Structure – No dangerous concentration in customers, employees, or suppliers 4-5. Valuation Teeter-Totter + Hub & Spoke – Cash flow and reducing owner dependency 6. Customer Score (NPS) – One of the best predictors of future growth 7-8. Growth Potential + Recurring Revenue – How easily can a buyer scale this? Businesses scoring 90+ on the Value Builder System get dramatically better exits. We measure and improve all 8 with every client. Book a 15-minute call: tidycal.com/continuity/15-…

And I’ll play for $0 at any level of the organization so…why am I still not allowed to go back to work?

Selling a business is never just a financial transaction. It’s deeply personal. I’ve seen owners with strong numbers walk away disappointed because they hadn’t prepared themselves for what life after the exit would actually look like. This is why we use a structured personal Exit Checklist that forces the hard questions first: Why do you really want to exit? (Push vs Pull factors) Have you built a life and identity outside the business? What does your next chapter actually look like? The best exits happen when push and pull are in balance. Too many owners only have push. If you’re even thinking about exiting in the next few years, this personal work matters as much as the financials. Book a 15-minute call: tidycal.com/continuity/15-…

SECRETARY RUBIO: Cuba is actually not controlled by the government. Cuba is controlled by a military holding company named GAESA. GAESA owns virtually everything, and not a penny of that money translates over to the public treasury.

Federal prosecutors just charged an NIH virologist with smuggling biological materials into the United States. His name is Vincent Munster. He's not a minor scientist. He runs the Virus Ecology Section at one of the government's premier BSL-4 labs. This is bigger than a customs charge. Thread 🧵

This is why we don’t focus on market timing. We use the Value Builder System to build a business that’s ready to sell whenever YOU are ready — regardless of the economic cycle.

Seller A sells at the peak for 5x earnings right before the crash, then reinvests into the same market — and loses more than half his proceeds in 18 months. Seller B sells at the trough for 3x — and ends up with significantly more wealth years later.

Most owners think they can sell at the absolute peak of the economic cycle and walk away winners. The data says otherwise. Here’s why timing the market usually costs you money. 🧵

Q1 is long gone. June is here. Most business owners are still playing the dangerous game of trying to time the market for their exit — watching headlines, adjusting forecasts, hoping for the perfect economic cycle. After 15+ years in M&A, I can tell you plainly: timing the market is a fool’s errand. The far better question is: How ready are you — personally and professionally — to exit on your terms? This is why we start with the Value Builder System’s Pre-Score. It evaluates your readiness before we even dive into the financials. Most owners are surprised by the gaps it reveals. And that early insight is pure gold. Book a 15-minute call: tidycal.com/continuity/15-…
