Imagine walking into your local grocery store where everybody knows your name. That’s what Amazon wants out of this deal with Whole Foods. Gone are the days where an employee stocking shelves will blissfully look the other way as you search for what you need. Imagine the service you get at a five star hotel where you’re treated as a patron—a valued guest. Shopping in the big box stores today, you’re a treated like a pest. The relationship between company and client has never been more valuable. And Jeff Bezos understands this. In Bezos’ world, you will not be a pest. You will be that valued … [Read more...]
Why the Democrat Party will Always Lose on Guns
In a recent conversation with a gun store owner, he told me his customers are about 50-50, Dems-Republicans. He said his Democrat customers love their guns just as much as the Republican ones. So you see the difference between Washington D.C. and your local gun shop. On one hand is the platform of the Pelosi Democrats, vs your friends at the range. Democrats and Republicans can both support the 2nd Amendment. But when it comes to the Democrat leadership in Washington, it’s anti-guns. They don’t trust you. It’s all about big brother knowing best. Darren Lasorte writing in America’s 1st … [Read more...]

Chicago Fed’s Charles Evans is Stumped by My Bezos Law
I love Amazon's proposed purchase of Whole Foods. But let's not kid ourselves. Amazon would not be where it's at today without the help of an ultra loose Federal Reserve. Where else is all that Goldman Sachs and indexing money going to go? Into cash? Please, in a "what have you done for me lately" world, the fast money needs a place to go. Amazon's confidence--thanks to its bloated stock price--is like playing the Super Bowl with a 50 point lead before leaving the locker room for kickoff. Now the Fed is trying to figure out what to do in a post-Bezos Law world. If you're not familiar with … [Read more...]
Illinois Bankruptcy? It Could Happen
From top to bottom Illinois is a sham, putting tax dollars into the pockets of elected officials with no regard for fiscal sanity. In 2013 I highlighted that 47 of Illinois' Village Managers earn more than any state governor. Every level of government in Illinois is filled with horrors like this. Looks like the chickens are coming home to roost. Brittany De Lea reports: Illinois will not meet a court-set deadline Tuesday to increase spending on backlogs of Medicaid payments, pushing the problem off until the end of the month as the state’s unprecedented budget impasse is on the verge of … [Read more...]
Are You Prepared to Defend Your Family When No One Else Can?
When Republican members of Congress came under fire from a deranged progressive radical last week, they were lucky to have two members of the Capitol Police on hand to shoot back. What if it had been you taking fire? Would you be ready to defend yourself or your family? Do you have a private police detail or security guards by your side 24/7? How can you even the odds with criminals intent on doing you and your family harm? A concealed carry permit is the fastest way to parity with an aggressor. A gun in your hand is worth all the police in the world if they're still on their way to your … [Read more...]
Amazon: Bankruptcy in Groceries Happens
This is why Amazon will need to keep unions out of its grocery business. The Chicago Tribune explains the bankruptcy of Central Grocers: After almost 100 years of doing business, Joliet-based Central Grocers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Thursday and will lay off about 550 employees at the company's Joliet warehouse. Central Grocers is a grocery cooperative that has long operated as wholesaler for more than 400 independent grocery stores in the Chicago area — including chains like Treasure Island, Pete's Fresh Market, Angelo Caputo's Fresh Market and Sunset Foods — distributing … [Read more...]
Get Back on Track with Your Survival Prep
A client was reading this before I called him last week. It got me back on track with my survival prep. Thought I'd pass it along to you. Hope it helps you too. It's a piece by RobK12 at Brownells: Preparing For Civil Unrest Riots can erupt for many reasons: political, economic, social, racial or religious conflicts. While it’s hard to predict when you might find yourself caught in the middle of civil unrest, there are usually indicators and warnings that demonstrations or riots are about to happen. If you are able to identify early warning indicators, such as a large gathering of … [Read more...]
