What is President Biden doing meeting with Russian President Putin? This is a joke, right? Under Biden’s watch, our Colonial pipeline was hacked, as was the world’s largest meat processing company, and we shutter the Keystone XL pipeline. Meanwhile, Putin gets his Nord Stream 2 and we’re meeting with him why? Sen. John Barrasso called Biden's choice to allow Nord Stream 2 as a "deliberate failure" during questioning of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. Watch the exchange below: … [Read more...]

COVID Was a Retirement Stress Test: Did You Pass?
You're probably feeling pretty good about your retirement after getting tested by COVID-19. You've been saving until it hurts your whole life. That's why my favorite investment is Y-O-U. Relying on yourself to work to make money, and then investing to save it, is the best way to ensure that an inflated stock market, or a pandemic crash, don't determine your destiny. You have read my warnings about the number of people who are confident in their retirement plan. At near record highs, the numbers beg some skepticism. New data have come out from CNBC that suggest at least some retirees are … [Read more...]
An Entire Atlanta Suburb Wants to Escape the City
You know I want you to escape the city. You're taxed too much and left to fend for yourself in America's big cities today. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than Buckhead, an Atlanta suburb that pays one-fifth of the city's budget but has been left to face rampant violence alone. Residents of Buckhead want to break away from Atlanta, but the radical left mayor wants to keep using them as a piggy bank. Tucker Carlson explained the situation in Buckhead on his show recently. In Buckhead, murders year-to-date are up almost 50 percent—that’s a lot of new dead people. Robberies and aggravated … [Read more...]
Americans Fleeing High Tax States for Growth Corridors
You already know that America's growth corridors are where the action is for businesses who want to keep their own money and thrive. The Census has confirmed as much, and the economic numbers do too. Now the IRS is coming in with another analysis to put the final nail in the coffin for high tax states. The Wall Street Journal explains that new IRS data show vast income losses for high tax states, with low tax, growth corridor states the winners in the migration trend. Allysia Finley and Kate LaVoie report: New IRS data compiled by research outfit Wirepoints illustrate the flight from high- … [Read more...]
Profit and Power Drive Environmentalism on Wall St. and in Washington
It used to be rare that regulators in Washington D.C., and money men on Wall St. would find common cause, but that has changed in an era when the government is so big, its subsidies alone drive the profits of many businesses. Big Wall St. firms like BlackRock have found a way to turn Washington into a profit machine. The Biden administration is loaded with former BlackRock employees. Do you think they left their high-paying jobs on Wall St. to do what's best for the farmers of Iowa or the fishermen of Maine? No, they came to Washington to grease the skids for policies that will make … [Read more...]

EGO: BlackRock CEO Goes Woke with Investor Money
You have read about Larry Fink using your money for everything but profit. His use of ESG investing, i.e. using investor funds like a piggy bank to push his environmental and social agenda, hurts Fink's trustworthiness. It's not about investors, it's about Fink's ego. At Real Clear Markets, Peter Flaherty has written a brutal takedown of Fink and his self-promotional behavior. He writes: Last week, Exxon Mobil, one of the world's largest publicly traded international oil and gas companies, lost a critical board fight with Engine No.1, a “woke” small investor group. The win was predictably … [Read more...]
You Invest, They Win: America’s Woke Money Men
While Joe Biden wants to raise your taxes, even when you're dead, the woke hedge fund and endowment managers are reaping the rewards of their special treatment. They're using your money for everything but what you need, profit. In a lengthy piece at The American Mind, J.D. Vance, (author of Hillbilly Elegy, and probable candidate for Senate in Ohio where he grew up and runs his business) explains how endowments and funds avoid taxes and use that subsidy as ammunition to attack America itself. He writes: Finally, the allocators of capital themselves are going woke. Across our country we have … [Read more...]
