FOLLOW THE MONEY: Wealthy Americans Fleeing High Tax States Faster than Others

By

Treasury bond yields are rising. You can sink your teeth into these yields. The interest on treasuries is generally exempt from taxation at state and local levels. That could come in handy if you're living in one of the high-tax states mentioned below. If you live in a high-tax state what are you waiting for? If you want to know what’s going on in the world then follow the money, or, in this case, the moving vans. I’m always interested in the work Chris Edwards does at the Cato Institute, and this is no exception. Edwards writes: My new op‐​ed in the Examiner looks at the interstate … [Read more...]

HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS: Student Loan Bailout Will Cost over Twice What Biden Promised

By

Shocker. The Congressional Budget Office has scored Joe Biden's student loan program, including the canceling of debt, the extension of a pause on student loan payments, and a decrease in the percentage of income borrowers can be forced to pay from 10% to 5%. The final numbers are horrifying for Main Street Americans being asked to pick up the tab. The Biden administration either didn't know how much it would cost or was too afraid to tell Americans. Multiple requests to Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for an estimate went unanswered. Now Americans know why. Biden Admin Doesn't Have … [Read more...]

Biden Admin Hoping to Avoid the American People Until November

By

You already know that the Biden administration doesn't want to talk about how much its student loan bailout will cost taxpayers, but they also don't want to talk about America's soaring crime rates either. It seems that they would prefer to wait until after November to discuss the answers to any of the questions Americans are asking. The Post Millennial reports that Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre prefers not to discuss the president's views on the crime plaguing American cities. Joshua Young reports for the Post Millennial: Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked White … [Read more...]

DeSantis Describes the Great American Exodus

By

Americans are moving to where their money and freedoms are respected. Below, The Wall Street Journal's Daniel Henninger describes Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida explaining what he calls the "Great American Exodus." Henninger writes: Shortly before the Vineyard controversy, Gov. DeSantis delivered an interesting speech near Miami to a convocation of conservatives. Some called it a test drive of ideas for a presidential run, and it probably was. One DeSantis idea, though, should have caught the eye of anyone focused on the flow of U.S. history. The governor described something he called a … [Read more...]

Honey, Where’d all the Covid Money Go?

By

Government spending begets the abuse of government spending. The flood of government Covid spending has generated a vast amount of fraud. A Labor Department report released on Thursday found that criminals potentially stole $45.6 billion in fraudulent unemployment insurance claims. That's about as much as the budgets of the EPA and the National Science Foundation combined. Stolen. And that's only one form of Covid fraud. The Justice Department recently charged 47 people in connection with another scheme that stole money from programs meant to feed low-income children. This crew of criminals … [Read more...]

Are You Getting Enough Vitamin K2?

By

Americans understand that they need calcium to support strong bones, but even those who are supplementing with calcium don't always understand the important part Vitamin K2 plays in getting that calcium where it needs to go. In times of trouble fresh fruits and vegetables may not be readily available which is why Your Survival Guy loads up on supplements including Vitamin K2 as recommended here by Dr. Joseph Mercola, who explains the benefits of Vitamin K2, writing: Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for the functioning of several proteins involved in physiological processes. … [Read more...]

Sen. Josh Hawley Skewers Biden Nominee with Her Own Words

By

Recently Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) questioned Colleen Shogan, Joe Biden's nominee to be Archivist at the United States National Archives and Records Administration. Hawley asks Shogan about an article she wrote titled "Anti-Intellectualism in the Modern Presidency: A Republican Populism." Hawley questioned whether or not Shogan's point was "that Republicans are stupid?" Watch the exchange below: Who are you gonna believe? What Shogan says, or what she wrote? They’re not the same that’s for sure. Action Line: The politics of the National Archives have come under greater scrutiny of late, … [Read more...]

Americans Find Themselves under Increasingly Detailed Surveillance

By

Since the revelations of Edward Snowden, Americans have become increasingly aware that they are heavily surveilled, not only by their government but by private corporations as well. You have previously read about this concept that Your Survival Guy calls the Virtual Panopticon. Last week, a new layer of surveillance was added to the net, with the segregation of the records of purchases at gun shops by credit card companies. Previously firearm purchases had been accounted for in a similar way to all other miscellaneous retail purchases, or those of sporting goods. The addition of a specific … [Read more...]

BIDEN’S BUCKS: The Never Ending COVID Emergency

By

You recently heard Joe Biden declare on 60Minutes that the pandemic is over, but why, you may be wondering, hasn't Biden ended the COVID-19 state of emergency? Money, of course. Biden is tapping into loads of money available to him via emergency authority, and ending the emergency would cut off his access to those funds. The Wall Street Journal's editors explain: President Biden finally dared to say it on Sunday, declaring in an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that the “pandemic is over.” Various public-health eminences are saying he’s wrong, but his comments recognize the reality of the … [Read more...]
