Allow me to present an ethics dilema.   There’s money out there for the taking!  Grant money!  The government is giving it away, so you’d be foolish not to take it.  After all, somebody will.  They’ll go out, apply for those grants, buy property, “employ people to fix up that property” and then sell that property to [...]

I’m turning this blog post over to Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) because I believe our country is in a dark place right now, and it’s important to let people know what’s important about the Second Amendment.  Don’t miss his post.  It explains things perfectly.  The Gun is Civilization,  By Maj.

Here in Lexington we have a Starbucks where the management has thoughtfully planted Blackeyed Susans for those of us who use the drive-thru.  I don’t know if they realized that their flowers would be only part of the show for us.

Why should I invest my savings in farmland? Banks are going down the proverbial toilet, Stocks can’t be counted on anymore…who knows what the government is going to do next?  What should you do with your savings before it has lost even more value? Invest in farmland.  It’s safe, it’s secure, and farmland is getting more scarce by the day.  [...]

“Millions More Foreclosures Coming” “The other shoe is about to drop. More bargains are going to be showing up on the local markets. I suggest that people with money start looking into investing that cash in real estate. It may be more secure than the banks. At least it will still be there down the [...]
