What is the market going to do? I don’t know. You don’t know. You can’t find anyone who does know exactly what the market is going to do. That’s why it is called speculation. And it is exactly why so many people choose not to invest. They are risk averse and can’t find the perfect time to enter the market. They have seen the stories of investors who have lost thousands or hundreds of thousands and have vowed to never be in that position. They have seen other investors who have timed the marke...

Introduction One objection to America being a Christian nation and our founders being strong believers is the question of slavery. How could we have been a Christian nation and have allowed slavery?

The origins of the word "lynch" probably originated during our revolution. The verb comes from the phrase "Lynch Law", a term for punishing someone without benefit of a trial. Charles Lynch, an American, is given credit for coining the phrase. He lived in Virginia in the 1780s and was known to have used the term. In 1782, Charles Lynch wrote that his assistant had administered "Lynch's law" to Tories "for Dealing with Negroes." Lynch was a Virginia planter and American Revolutionary who headed...

Can we protect ALL of our citizens (from birth to death) without giving up our freedoms – or is this a picture of "big money" negating our Constitution and destroying the fundamental source of our Republic? Does this picture represent the "pleas of our youth" or the "manipulation of our youth" for political reasons. This is a big question we all must ask ourselves. Our youth should never fear for their lives at school or in their communities! They do deserve better! As adults can we not come u...
Ok, so you’ve heard me talk about the importance of life insurance and long term care insurance. But there is another type of insurance that is very important as well. If something happened to you today and you were not able to work anymore or at least for a long period of time, how would you pay your bills, buy food for your family or buy anything else needed for your family. Now, most of you might have a good six months or more worth of income saved up which could cover you or at least buy y...
As we forge ahead into the Donald’s second year of office, we are witnessing some serious improvements in America’s economy—taxes are being cut, production is up, wages are up, and unemployment is down. The future hasn’t looked this bright since the best days of Dwight D. Eisenhower. But then, suddenly, Trump dropped his hammer—punitive tariffs on three very essential imported items—steel, aluminum, and photovoltaic cells. The rates are steep—10% for aluminum, 25% for steel, and 30% for solar...

Reverend Billy Graham November 7, 1918 - February 21, 2018 He actually physically took ropes down and symbolically, in doing so, said, “Look, we’re all equal before God, we’re all one together and every man has his right for the rights that we enjoy and want.” He took a lead in the stand way back in those early days when it wasn’t popular. He has always had a love for people and has appreciated and understood in a very unique dimension the worth of an individual no matter what his or her race,...

Some of the biggest public menaces that have developed over the years have been the overbearing numbers and intensity of safety regulations. They have gone far beyond anything we need for reasonable public safety and protection. America was founded as a free country, where individual liberty is paramount. People would be free to act on their own behalves and look after themselves. On the other hand, the duty of government is to protect our shores from foreign invaders and protect people from...
