The Second Amendment and the Constitution won this election. Because no one has done more for gun sales than Harris/Biden. And no document does more to protect you from them than the U.S. Constitution. That's what you're telling me. In my conversations with you, the gun shop owners—the gun enthusiasts, and the former law enforcement officers—you're seeing that the supply of guns and ammo is literally shot. You're telling me how hard it is to get supplies. "I've got guys buying guns/ammo for me all through the night," you tell me. "I'm doing record sales, every single day." What you're … [Read more...]
Biden Tax Hikes: I’m Here to Help, But Only if You’re Serious
Well, that didn’t take long. Less than two months into his presidency and Joe Biden wants to raise taxes because we need to pay for all the SPENDING. Give me a break. They’re not interested in paying for anything. They won’t be paying for their spending, they’ll just be creating dollars out of thin air. Look at the chart of M2 money supply below to see how it’s already started. Press Secretary Jen Psaki talks to us with a face that says “I hate you,” and “I will crush you,” and looks just fine with the idea of taking more of what’s yours. She doesn’t look like she worries too much about … [Read more...]
Parents and Politicians Fight Abuse by Teachers’ Unions During Pandemic
There are still places in America where schools are closed. Despite a promise by Joe Biden that he'd have them open in his first 100 days (by April 30), teachers' unions in many places have no intention of opening schools. The selfish response to the pandemic by teachers' unions, who have left children at home dealing with the mental distress of isolation, has opened the eyes of many parents and politicians who are now fighting back. You've read a lot about West Virginia Governor Jim Justice here lately, and that's because he's leading a charge to make the state part of America's "growth … [Read more...]

Tax Season Is the Perfect Time To Teach the Grandchildren About Money
It’s tax season, why not show your grandchildren how to keep more of what they make? First, tell them about tax-deferred accounts, and then explain to them the power of compounding. Look at the difference between Grandchild A, whose grandparents explained the power of compounding and saved early and often, and Grandchild B whose grandparents only started saving later. Action Line: Save early, save often, and start saving now for your children or grandchildren. As you can see in the table above, if you start early, it doesn't take a lot to deliver the rewards of compounding to your … [Read more...]
#1 Reason Why Your Survival Guy Owns an AR-10
Originally posted on October 22, 2020. Your Survival Guy filled out paperwork last night for an ArmaLite AR-10. For those of you wondering why, I did it for three reasons. For one, I have a friend who owns a ranch in Texas—an expanse as far as the eye can see. He owns an AR-10. Your Survival guy was intrigued. Second, I see it as a complement to my AR-15. The caliber ammo for an AR-10 is .308. An AR-15 .223. Unless you’ve been living in Joe Biden’s basement the last few months, you know ammo is as rare as hens’ teeth—and expensive. A little diversification never hurt no one. Your Survival … [Read more...]
Today’s Suburban Female Voter: “You Ain’t Takin’ My Guns.”
Originally posted on January 28, 2020. “According to statistics from the NRA, around 23% of women in the U.S. own guns, when just 13% did in 2005,” writes Susanne Edward in her piece in Americas1stFreedom, “The RISE of the Woman Gun Owner.” “The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF),” she continues, “has documented a 77% rise in female gun ownership since 2005.” As Democrats target the suburban female demographic in 2020, they might want to check that, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47” strategy at the door. It turns out women care about their safety, … [Read more...]
Business Isn’t the Enemy, It’s the Answer
You may remember when Ronald Reagan said, “The best social program is a productive job for anyone who’s willing to work.” He was right. If there is anything America has learned from governors going wild and shutting down their states' economies, there's no bailout or stimulus that can provide for Americans as well as their own entrepreneurial spirit can. One place in America where you can see the difference in the performance between government and the private sector is Newark, NJ. For years then-Mayor Cory Booker and other politicians tried to engineer resuscitation efforts for the … [Read more...]
PANOPTICON: Is Your Phone Spying on You?
You probably have dozens of apps on your smartphone. Chances are they are collecting your personal information en masse, and either selling it to third parties or keeping it for themselves. Most likely both. You have read here about the widening surveillance state I'm calling the virtual panopticon. The efforts by the government to surveil Americans are expanding quickly as technologies make it easy to watch every part of your life. But how much surveillance are you inviting right into your home? Apps on your phone are collecting massive amounts of information about you every day. Some … [Read more...]
Can You Even Afford To Retire in Biden’s America?
You have seen already, in slightly less than two months, Joe Biden and the Democratic Congress have put America on track for higher inflation. With trillions of dollars in stimulus, and new announcements of higher taxes on the horizon, and a push for a higher minimum wage, inflation expectations have soared. Expectations for inflation have increased 40% in the last five months, to 2.3% from 1.6% over the next ten years. As Brett Arends writes at MarketWatch, it may not seem like a lot, but if you're retiring it could make the difference between relaxing on the beach or going back to work. … [Read more...]
