Hillary Loses It

By

Hillary lost the debate on defense at the Commander in Chief forum hosted by Matt Lauer on NBC News. “When your allies are ripping the refs, you’ve probably lost the game,” writes Pat Buchanan at The American Conservative. “Indeed, in this dress rehearsal for the debates, Donald Trump played Trump, while Clinton was cast in the role of Mexican President Pena Nieto, who just fired the finance minister who told him to invite the Donald to Mexico City for a talk.”

Harris’s Record of Radicalism

Kamala Harris has had a sheltered existence as a candidate so far. She didn’t need to compete in a primary, and she hasn’t done many interviews. The American people don’t know much about her without doing some digging. In The American Conservative, Rep. Jim Banks digs in and exposes Kamala Harris’s record of “radicalism.” Banks […]

Inflation Flare Up Frightens Fed

You have probably been watching the Fed’s actions with suspicion as it lowers rates despite continued above “target” inflation numbers.

Chicago Already Regrets Electing Progressive Mayor

Radical progressive politicians have seized power in many of America’s Big Blue Blob cities. Instead of protecting the interests of their constituents, these politicians put their personal political agendas first and foremost. Perhaps none have done such a poor job for voters as Chicago’s radical progressive mayor, Brandon Johnson. John O. McGinnis explains in City […]

Your Survival Guy and Gal walked 14,000 steps for lunch yesterday from Le Bristol Hotel to Breizh Café for oysters, crepes, and cider. It’s not exactly a walk to your corner bistro.

The Rift Between Biden and Harris Grows Wider

You have probably noticed a number of moments recently when it seemed that perhaps Joe Biden is not entirely happy with Kamala Harris coopting his political campaign and taking his place as the Democrats’ nominee for the presidency.

Your Survival Guy in Paris: “Time Stand Still”

One of the more misunderstood components of compound interest is time. Everyone understands the rate of return. It’s all you hear about, from your uncles to your nephews. “What did it return this year?” they ask. Time, on the other hand, is boring except when you do it over a couple of generations. Then it […]

She would also raise […]

Harris’s Anti-Constitution Pattern

Watch the clip below: What model Glock do you think Kamala Harris owns? […]

The Most Beautiful Trips I Took Were Through…

Growing up, Your Survival Guy’s mom would always talk about prior planning. It would often revolve around a vacation we felt lucky to be taking. “Prior planning,” she would say with a smile, hardly believing it herself, deep down knowing how hard it was to spend the money. When you learn at an early age […]
