After decades of urbanization, Americans are beginning to rebel against the "bigger is better" mentality of city-living. Seeking a smaller, more affordable, sustainable, and secure lifestyle, some are venturing out from the mega-cities in search of a different life. A number of techniques have become popular in an effort to save, especially scaling down the size of one's home. Living small and saving big is even better when it's coupled with living in a state that treats you more like a human than an ATM machine it can withdraw money from. Carey L. Biron explains this trend at Thompson … [Read more...]
SHOT Show’s Massive Crowds Swell with Women Shooters
Madeline Osburn traveled to SHOT Show in Las Vegas to report on the firearm industry's biggest event of the year. In her report for The Federalist, she takes some time to detail the products that "stuck out to [her], as a novice female shooter." Women are the fastest-growing segment of firearms owners. They are passionate about self-defense and enjoy the sport. The growing number of female gun owners could even have an effect on the election as these new gun owners vote for politicians who respect their rights. Osburn writes: More than 65,000 people gathered in Las Vegas, Nevada this … [Read more...]
After VA Democrats Take Your Gun, They’ll Take Your Job
After taking control of the legislature and the governor's mansion in Virginia for the first time in decades, the state's Democrats are eager to undo all that has been done by Republicans during that time. Democrats' first target is gun control, but soon they could be coming for the employee freedoms protected by Virginia's right to work law. According to the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, Virginia's right to work laws were enacted in 1947, with major updates in 1954, and 1970. Now Democrats want to repeal the law that, as The Wall Street Journal reports, "made Northern … [Read more...]
Raucous Cheers from Women for Trump at President’s Wildwood Rally
President Trump held a massive rally in Wildwood, NJ last night. Crowds were too large for the Wildwoods Convention Center, with many waiting outside to watch the speech on a monitor. Flanking Trump during his speech was a group of "Women for Trump." They proudly waved signs and cheered for the President throughout his speech. Women who support the president are often attacked by the radical-leftist media, but they support the principles of his platform: good jobs, strong borders, avoiding unnecessary wars, and supporting the Second Amendment. Women across the country have … [Read more...]
Your Retirement Life: Living Small and Saving Big
One of the first things you notice when moving from a high-tax coastal blue-state to a low-tax red-state is how much farther your money goes. You can buy a bigger house for example, but you don't need to. I’ve been following the small house movement for years and I enjoyed this piece written by Katherine Roth for the AP on finding one the “right” size. She writes: With the current trend toward de-cluttering and downsizing, there are plenty of books about how to winnow down possessions to the few that are truly necessary and loved. This book shows how you can live well once that’s … [Read more...]
You Need to Be Vigilant About Protecting Your Money
Despite the many protections offered to investors by the FTC, the SEC, the FDIC, and other alphabet soup government organizations, people are still tricked every day into giving away their hard-earned money. Last Friday, Jeff and Paulette Carpoff, two hucksters out of California, pleaded guilty to charges related to a Ponzi scheme they had been running hawking imaginary solar equipment. You need to be vigilant about protecting your money. Jacqueline Sergeant reports for Financial Advisor: According to the complaint, between 2011 and 2018, the Carpoffs offered and sold investment … [Read more...]
Alaskan Native Sees Right Through Goldman Sachs’ Righteous PR Stunt
In The Wall Street Journal, Mayor Harry Brower Jr., an Alaskan Native, calls out Goldman Sachs for the firm's recent PR announcement that it will no longer finance new oil projects in the Arctic. Brower pierces right through Goldman's argument that it is helping indigenous peoples with "stakeholder engagement." Brower is the mayor of the North Slope borough, a massive land area populated by many Alaskan natives, including Mr. Brower. Goldman, like BlackRock, is virtue signaling to its favored constituency, wealthy investors living in the elite enclaves of New York and San Francisco. Neither … [Read more...]
The Top Question in High Tax States: “Where Are You Going?”
Are your friends moving away? If you live in a high tax state, the chances are certainly greater that they are. The 2017 Tax Reform made it easy for residents in high tax states to see just how badly their politicians were fleecing them of their hard-earned money. You can catch up on that here: GOP Tax Reform Will Hit Many Wealthy Republicans in Blue States Cato’s Chris Edwards: Tax Reform and Interstate Migration States Scrambling to Refinance before Tax Reforms Migration: Where High-Tax State Exiles Are Going California’s Tax Increases Spur 40% More Wealthy Residents to … [Read more...]
Your Survival Guy: The Koch Brothers’ Real Estate Empire
Your Survival Guy enjoyed this story in the WSJ: “The Koch Brothers Are Sitting on a Real Estate Empire Worth Hundreds of Millions” Katherine Clarke writes (abridged): Billionaire brothers Charles Koch and the late David Koch became known for their financial support of conservative and arts causes. But they, and their two brothers, Bill and Frederick, quietly built another legacy: hundreds of millions of dollars worth of high-end real estate. The four brothers have amassed some of the world’s most spectacular private homes, including a large waterfront compound on Massachusetts’ Cape Cod … [Read more...]
The Bloomberg-led Anti-Gun Movement Could Backfire at the Polls
Led by billionaire gun controller, Mayor "Mini" Mike Bloomberg, and Governor Ralph "Blackface" Northam (VA), Democrats are bent on taking away Americans' right to bear arms. The feeling among Democrats was best encapsulated by presidential candidate Congressman Beto O'Rourke when he told a debate audience, "Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47." The reason to believe this tactic may backfire on Democrats is that the suburban female demographic they're relying on to win in 2020 is the same demographic that has been driving increases in the sales of guns and firearms training … [Read more...]
