SMART ALEC?

In August 2007, Acosta's office reportedly entered into negotiations with Jeffrey Epstein about a plea agreement. On September 24, 2007, Epstein signed a non-prosecution agreement, a day before the prosecutor in the case was prepared to indict him. Over the subsequent months, Epstein sought to negotiate the terms of the agreement and pressured Acosta to remove Marie Villafaña, the prosecutor on the case.[26] In 2008, as U.S. attorney, Acosta approved a federal non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein. This secret agreement would later be unsuccessfully challenged in court for violating the Crime Victims' Rights Act, as well as be cited as a defense in the case of Ghislaine Maxwell. Epstein got leniency. His associates got immunity. Power networks got silence. Institutions got covered. And survivors were told, implicitly, that their suffering was less important than stability at the top.

2026 COUNTDOWN

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s prerequisite. A depleted person has nothing to give. The Stoics understood this clearly: self-mastery comes before all other achievement. Discipline the morning, train through discomfort, examine daily habits, focus only on what you control, and treat obstacles as fuel for growth. These are not lifestyle hacks; they are foundations.
None of this requires special gear, expensive programs, or perfect conditions. It requires a decision. The same discipline the Stoics applied to life must be applied to mind, body, and character. Start with one rule. Build from there. Your ability to endure hardship—and to serve others—depends entirely on how well you strengthen yourself first.
We will continue to be here next year, God willing, just like we have for the previous 14 years.
