Common Sense Conservative Values for Main Street America

July 5, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

The pumping heartbeat of the American economy is its small businesses on Main Streets in cities and towns across the country.

July 5, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

July 1, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

It’s been a hard week for New York Democrats, including Governor Kathy Hochul. The Supreme Court bodyslammed the party this week by overturning the state’s unconstitutional concealed carry permitting program. Of course, Hochul and other Democrats were angry at the ruling.

Even Without Food and Gas, Inflation is Soaring

July 1, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You have probably heard politicians and central bankers who dismiss inflation in gasoline and food, saying they’re “non-core.” They want you to forget that these are the most important items you buy each week.

July 1, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Dear Survivor, OK, Your Survival Guy just got back from a two- and half-week research trip in Paris. The six-hour head start in Paris-time compared to the east coast gave me plenty of time to gather my thoughts over a café crème and croissant. In a word, Paris is busy. But it’s not too crazy […]

Time to Save, Troubles Dining Out, and Intelligence on Yellowstone

June 30, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

In my conversations with you, you’re telling me the real estate market is slowing down. That’s not to say there’s no one looking to buy. Demand is still hot in certain places. One client out in Jackson Hole said all the realtors are looking for bartending jobs. The tech bust might have something to do […]

This State Leads America in Gun Ownership

June 30, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

What state comes to mind when you think of gun ownership? Surely Texas, with its cowboy history and Alamo spirit would be many people’s first choice.

June 30, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Joe Biden has repeatedly doubled down on his accusations that the inflation American families are suffering through is Vladimir Putin’s fault, even though price increases began before the war in Ukraine.

June 29, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Imagine a doctor telling you that your baby cannot be put on the transplant list because it has not been vaccinated.

After a failed surgery, Dr. David Bearl told […]

Why Work When Taxes Take It All?

June 28, 2022 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Your Survival Guy witnessed firsthand on my recent fact-gathering trip to Paris just how taxes can impact the labor force.
