Let’s Take a Vote: America Needs to be Open for Business

Where were you when you realized life wasn’t going to be the same for a while? Maybe it was when Gov. Cuomo stole your TV screen back in March. It wasn’t a good feeling, and it still isn’t.

America is not meant to be shut down. We aren’t meant to shelter in place when a survival rate is near 100% for most. Lockdowns ruin Main Street. Americans want their country back. The press doesn’t care.

The press doesn’t report the scandalous Biden family behavior. The press doesn’t report on Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation. The press doesn’t report the groundbreaking Tony Bobulinski interview by Tucker Carlson, proving the Biden family was cashing in on America’s reputation.

Regarding the media blackout of Tucker Carlson, Kyle Drennan wrote at NewsBusters:

Even after Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski sat down for a hour-long Fox News interview Tuesday night in which he provided credible evidence corroborating his claims about Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s corrupt foreign business dealings, on Wednesday, the NBC, ABC, and CBS morning shows couldn’t be bothered to cover the bombshell bad news for the Democratic nominee.

A Media Research Center study released on Tuesday found that the Big Three broadcast networks have only offered a pathetic 21 minutes to the growing Biden scandal since the story broke on the front page of The New York Post on October 14. That’s 21 minutes out of 113 hours worth of morning an evening shows over the past week and most of that paltry coverage was devoted to attempts to falsely claim the story was “Russian disinformation.” …

The leftist media are so deep in the tank for the Democratic Party that so-called “journalists” are spending the final days leading up to the presidential election trying to silence any news that could be damaging to the Biden campaign. They feel they must prevent another 2016 result at all costs.

The press lies to you. The press ignores the truth. When a brave reporter even attempts to tell the truth, they’re pilloried. Listen to the story of Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept, a news outlet he founded!

Now, the Trump economy is booming once again with a 33.1% annualized rate of growth in the third quarter—the best number ever recorded. And jobless claims are falling rapidly.

Imagine if we were still in the Obama economy. It’s time to get back to work and only one candidate cares about that. Americans want their country back and only Pres. Trump will make that happen.

Americans love their Second Amendment right, and they’re scared a Biden administration means more gun control, and possibly gun confiscation. Michael Warren Davis reports at LewRockwell.com:

Now, the 2020 election is just one week away, and most polls are predicting a comfortable Biden victory. The former vice president has promised to confiscate “assault weapons,” which is a scary-sounding name Democrats give to automatic and semiautomatic guns. That includes every rifle that fires more quickly than a blunderbuss and every pistol more advanced than a flintlock. Since most Americans don’t fancy the idea of defending their homes with muskets, stockpiling continues to intensify.

Action Line: If you do only two things in the next week, make sure they are 1) vote, and 2) get your guns and your training now.

A Gold Standard Would Provide Discipline to Government

Your Survival Guy doesn’t want you to be in the interest rate prediction business because the talking heads just might end up being wrong. Sure, the Fed funds rate may come down, but what if the buyers for the rest of the yield curve have a different opinion? Bond prices trade in anticipation of what’s […]

401(k) Blindspot for Rollover IRA Investors

When you roll over a 401(k) to a Rollover IRA, you need to remember the default is to put the money in cash. Greg Iacurci explains at CNBC: Many investors unknowingly make a costly mistake when rolling their money from a 401(k) plan to an individual retirement account: leaving their money in cash. Rollovers from […]

Why the Fed Needs Rates Lowered

Why does the Federal Reserve want so desperately to lower rates? It’s about servicing the debt. The United States has rapidly run up its debt load, and refinancing all that debt at high rates will be difficult to pay for. So even if it means additional inflation, the Federal Reserve plans to lower rates. Action […]

Don’t Invite Problems into Your Portfolio

When you’re looking at dividend-paying stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs, you want to be selective because, historically, it’s not the highest payers that have performed the best. And when investors reach for yield and buy those highest payers, they tend to invite avoidable problems into their portfolio. There’s a difference between the dividend-centric investor who […]

The Stock Market Woodchipper

There’s a lot of slicing and dicing going on in today’s markets. When you have more ETFs than stocks to buy, that’s a problem. In The Wall Street Journal, Jason Zweig wonders if there’s any asset left to make an ETF out of. He writes that “Good new investing ideas are getting harder to come […]

To the Media, Some Lives Matter More than Others

Once again, over the weekend, President Donald Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt. This time, the President was playing golf and was shot at by a man named Ryan Wesley Routh. The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board explains: One question is how Mr. Routh knew Mr. Trump would be golfing on Sunday at […]

529 to Roth IRA

If you have a 529 plan that exceeds what was needed for education costs, there may be a way to roll it over into a Roth IRA. Laura Saunders explains in The Wall Street Journal: It happens more than you think, given the spiraling costs of college: People who save money for a child’s education […]

Do You Look Marvelous? See My Friend Marc

Your Survival Guy visited my friend Marc Streisand this week, owner/proprietor of Marc Allen Fine Clothiers, Custom Suits, and Imported Sportswear, to pick up my handmade, bespoke cashmere sport coat.

Kitten Update This Week

Well, Fred (gray) and Phantom (black) haven’t settled down yet, especially at nap time.  What’s funny is how much Fred outweighs his little sister Phantom and how she’s ruling the roost.

Dershowitz Decries “Hard Left” Hijacking of Democratic Party

In The New York Sun, longtime Democrat Alan Dershowitz decries the party’s hijacking by the “hard left” and explains his reasons for leaving it after so many decades.

September RAGE Gauge: Win Friends and Influence People

Well, that was an interesting debate, wasn’t it? Not exactly a seminar on how to win friends and influence people. When I talk with you, you tell me it didn’t sway you one bit. And you feel the same way about the undecided voters—they weren’t compelled either way. When I think of Dale Carnegie’s classic […]

Stay Diversified My Friends

Investors are getting nervous about the stock market and are making moves to more traditionally defensive sectors of the market. Remember to stay diversified because it’s not what you invest in but how you invest that stirs the drink.

Microsoft Puts Shareholders Ahead of Gamers

Video game workers. Now, that’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one. What’s noteworthy is the continued softening of sales post-pandemic. I like Microsoft’s positioning to reduce its video game workforce in the face of what might be a slowdown in demand. Sarah E. Needleman reports for The Wall Street Journal: Microsoft is laying off […]

A Word on the Trump/Harris Dystopian Debate

We knew going in that former President Donald Trump would not get a fair shake from ABC, but it felt like we were watching a trial from The Hunger Games without the costumes. Vice President Kamala Harris was treated like the incumbent and heir to the throne by the moderators. The primetime show was borderline […]

The Trump Tax Reforms and Biden/Harris Inflation

Americans miss the days when their wages were rising in real (inflation-adjusted) terms powered by the Trump tax cuts. For the last three years, they’ve been burdened by higher spending from the Biden-Harris administration, with the outcome being more Americans on the government dole for things like healthcare, rather than being able to afford it […]
