I had a couple of beers one night last week with a general contractor friend. He told me the story of an older client of his that had him fix a…

What will no doubt go down in history as one of the greatest ironic scams of all time…while the 1^st Lady was leading the national fight against bullying, we elected the biggest bully on the planet to a 2^nd term! And I’m not simply talking about his Chicago style campaign tactics or his “my way or the highway” posture on the edge of the fiscal cliff.

What I’m talking about is a man who is as closely aligned with Mohamed Badie and Essam El-Erian of the Muslim…

I heard an interview the other day where the reporter grabbed your “average Joe” to get his take on raising the George Washington Bridge Toll to $15. The average Joe looked into the camera and said, “There’s nothing we can do.” (It was only $3 as recently as 1991)

After a flicker of pondering the irony of paying a $15 TAX to cross a bridge that honors the man who led us to the freedom from tyranny’s favorite tool in the first place, I thought to myself what will it take…

Good Morning Friend:

Please take a moment to hear what I have to say. There are the two stories playing out in America today that will determine our fate. 

1- Corruption at the most critical center of our national “circulatory system”, our capital markets. Fatal!

2- The infiltration by Radical Islam into the highest levels of our government. Fatal!

These two stories combined deliver a one-two punch we will NEVER recover from! We cannot allow this to…

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown

The dream is gone

And I have become

Comfortably numb.~ Pink Floyd, “The Wall”

What red-blooded…

Long as I remember, the rain been comin’ down.

Clouds of mystery pourin’ confusion on the ground.

Good men through the ages tryin’ to find the sun…

And I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop the rain.

~John Fogerty, CCR

Good Morning Dear Friend! It has been a rough week. Hell, it’s been a rough few years for most of us…

War on Marriage & Family is always a top priority of totalitarian regimes, as the Family is the prime threat to Tyranny. ~ Ann Barnhardt

…it’s the MARXISTS! Recognize and fix that and the economy will heal itself as economies are naturally meant to do! And the very first step in that recognition is the realization…

But this stranger is so hard to see, when we’re looking for someone to be.

The next winner will never be free….from his own loser…

- Chip Murray, “Like I Do”

There are three people in the world today; Freedom-loving Patriots, Power-obsessed Oligarchs and the Chronically Misinformed. I am thinking of the lines from a song I wrote…

“Barnhardt”- A straight shot of Truth…and the courage to back it up!

“Bread and Circuses” (or bread and games) (from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metaphor for a superficial means of appeasement. It was the basic Roman formula for the well-being of the population, and hence a…

I have been a licensed Registered Representative and Investment Advisor serving the financial protection and wealth management needs of my individual and business clients for the past 18 years now. I have also been a faithfully unabashed member of the Tea Party for the past 4 years.

It has suddenly occurred to me that the majority of my colleagues have virtually no clue as to what is happening in their own industry…let alone the entire country! So I wanted to prepare them in the event…

Sometimes you have to understand who you are not, to realize who you are!

Good morning Dear Friend! As I may have mentioned in a previous blog, my 40^th high school reunion is coming up this August! Whew! 40 is a very…interesting number. Did you ever look back at your yearbook where- usually in the back- the “most likely to” predictions are made? I don’t know that anyone could have predicted my path, because I only…

“Central Bankers have confused the Black Art of Central Planning with Central Banking by pretending they can see into the future and fix it.” – Jim Grant

I heard these words from the lips of Jim Grant as he spoke them to Tom Keene during his Bloomberg radio interview this morning. And then I chuckled to myself as I imagined Bowtie Keene with cold sweat, fingers and toes crossed hoping the words would drift through empty ears into some galactic dust bin.…

Help! (Break glass in case of fire!)

The day of the Lord will come like a thief,

And on that day the heavens will

Pass away with great violence. – Cf. 2 Peter 3:10

If any of you follow Ann Barnhardt, you will know that she has called for a general strike on the capital markets urging people…

I loved Peter Falk’s character, Columbo! In fact, I have to say he was the King of the Who done it’s in my humble opinion. Traversing the web over the course of these past few weeks I am sensing something in the force that doesn’t quite qualify as a disturbance. It’s hard to say really…more like whatever the opposite of disturbance would be. It’s whatever goes on behind the eyes of a fighter who knows he can’t be beat. I feel that spark.

Dialoguing with a few of the wonderful…

Informant: That’s right (smiling), but they’re still out there . . . they’re underground. And the question is, over a long period of time, what does it take to activate them?

Just a wild guess – how about usurping and overthrowing the government of the United States? Do you think that might “activate” them? – Ann Barnhardt

IF, everything your eyes and ears have been telling you for the past several years make sense,…

Happy St. Patty’s Day everybody! Yes, everyone knows we are all Irish today my friends! But not everyone is aware that no self-respecting Irishman can abide hate once he’s been made aware of it on this sacred day! That’s exactly why St. Patrick himself chased out all the snakes from Ireland on this very day! (You’d hate too if you did nothing but slither about on your belly all day…though I do know a loving Democrat or two…now that I think about it).

So I would like to thank the…

“This Government is no longer legitimate and therefore, no moral person can continue to support it!”- Ann Barnhardt

The saying, “The truth will set us free…but first it will make us miserable.” begs the question, “What are we prepared to know?” Because once we know, we are faced with a choice aren’t we?

The GOP Primary IS Kabuki Theater!

The most striking thing about last night’s elections is that none of the candidates can close the…

I don’t know which is more mind-blowing: is it the fact the Christ loves us at all, or the fact that He cares whether or not we love Him, and that we can actually increase the infinite joy of the Trinity by loving Him back, and standing up for Him, defending Him, and not abandoning Him – most especially while He is being betrayed by His own. – Ann Barnhardt

Good Morning Dear Friend! Yesterday I wrote about the Warrior side of a coin kept close to the heart in…

I am having a real tough time deciding who has done more harm to our nation…

The 535 people we elected to represent our socio-economic interests in Washington, or the thousands of men and women who have taken it upon themselves to safe-guard our spiritual well-being as members of our esteemed clergy!

Whatever you may think in terms of the state of our overall health and well-being as a society, there are none more responsible for that state than may be found in these two camps.…

For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.- Matthew 13, (15)

Good morning dear friend. Much has happened and is happening since our first Sunday Morning get-together on July 17^th last year. In the early…
