Supreme Court Rules That The Constitution Means Just What It Says (or Does Not Say) On Abortion And Guns

June 27, 2022

The Supreme Court's recent decisions on abortion and the Second Amendment right to bear arms are finally placing limits on the kind of judicial activism that has made our Constitution and Constitutional law almost unrecognizable. While these two cases may seem very different, the Court is telling us in both cases that the Constitution means just what it says, no...

A Recession Might Be Coming – Why We Are Concerned About Dividend Safety

June 8, 2022

 It’s a matter of priorities If you’re counting on dividend payments to supplement your income, then the single most important issue is whether the companies that you’re counting on for those dividends have the financial wherewithal to make the payments. And that’s why we try to ensure, in one way or another, that the companies we include in our dividend...

U.s. Supreme Court Oks Big Tech Censorship

June 5, 2022

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on May 31, in the case of NetChoice v. Paxton, that Twitter, Facebook and Google can censor conservative political views, at least for now, while challenges against a Texas anti-censorship law make their way through the Court system. The Court's decision would seem to condone blatant viewpoint discrimination, including the exclusion of information about Hunter...

Government agencies, run by thousands of unelected, unaccountable and mostly unreachable bureaucrats, increasingly affect nearly every aspect of American life.
