Every family has to decide what it can afford. Washington never does. The national debt is over $40 trillion, and it keeps growing while both parties vote for more spending.
My Six Penny Plan is simple: cut six cents from every dollar the federal government spends, and balance the budget in five years. That is real reform.

One day, your child will ask you to play for the last time, and you won’t even realize it.
Don’t miss the little moments. They might become your child’s biggest memories. ❤️

Sweden is officially ditching mRNA vaccines, and they are not hiding their reasons for doing so.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misleading. Image text is from a Dutch group (Artsen Collectief), not a Swedish source. Sweden’s regions chose Sanofi’s Nuvaxovid as sole supplier for the 2027/2028 campaign only.
There has been no mRNA ban; Public Health Agency says 2026/2027 mainly uses mRNA Comirnaty.

Thomas Sowell grew up poor in Harlem and spent his twenties as a Marxist. A job inside the federal government ended that. Asked what changed his mind, he gave a one-word answer: "facts."
Chicago sharpened the habit, with Milton Friedman teaching him, and he carried it through more than 45 books and a column in over 150 newspapers. From housing to the minimum wage, he checked what policies did and ignored what their authors promised.
His most famous line sits in A Conflict of Visions: "There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs." Politicians hate that sentence because it puts everyone selling solutions out of work. Every program has a price, and voters rarely pay it.
Sowell lived by it. When the Reagan administration put him on an economic advisory committee, he resigned after the first meeting. He pointed to Friedman's view that some individuals "contribute more by staying out of government."
He retired from writing in December 2016 at 86 and turned 96 this June. His method fits on an index card: skip the promises, check the results.
Now go ahead and do that with your local ruling class.

Bob Uecker's "I must be in the front row" Miller Lite ad became bigger than the commercial campaign itself. The spot dates to the early 1980s and fit Uecker's self-deprecating persona perfectly.
He could be a baseball broadcaster, actor and comedian without changing the character much at all. Nobody played the lovable guy who knew he wasn't the star better than Uecker.

Did you know that snow shoveling counts toward the 50 Yard Challenge too?
With so many places getting snow right now, this is the PERFECT time for kids to jump in, serve their community, and knock out yards — even in the winter months! 🧤⛄️
Kids can shovel driveways, sidewalks, and walkways for elderly neighbors, veterans, single parents, and those in need — all while earning credit toward their 50 yards and leveling up their shirts!
Kindness doesn’t stop when the grass stops growing!
If your child isn’t signed up yet, now is a great time to join and start making an impact — rain, shine, or snow!
Let’s turn these snow days into service days

We're thankful to God for the opportunity to come alongside families in the wake of natural disasters like Hurricane Isaias.
Helping them in the midst of devastation is a tangible witness of God's love for them and opens doors for us to share the Gospel.
Join us in continuing to pray for all those affected in southern Alabama and Florida and for our staff and volunteers helping them get back on their feet.

The point of no return by Richard von Mises is worth reading:
"A state becomes almost unreformable when the majority of the population is financially or structurally dependent on the state (state employees, civil servants, recipients of subsidies, grants, or transfer payments, etc.). As soon as those who net benefit from or are supported by the state outnumber those who do not, the system blocks reforms, since the majority votes out of self-interest for the preservation or expansion of state services."
Does this sound familiar? Some European countries, France, Belgium, Finland are already way beyond that point, closely followed by Germany, Spain, Austria and Italy. It works for a while, as long as markets buy more sovereign debt at reasonable interest rates. The party ends when they stop though. For France, they stopped this month, Belgium will be next.
The longer the socialist illusion persists, the more painful the inevitable cuts and adjustments will be. It’s pure arithmetic. Good luck Europe, good luck Euro. Buckle up, it won’t be pretty.

This train ain’t stopping.
$50 trillion national debt and 50% of all income tax revenue will be sucked up by interest payments on the debt by 2030.

Your dollar has lost 53% of its purchasing power over the past 30 years.
That’s not an anomaly.
That’s the system.
Inflation isn’t just a number - it’s a silent thief.
Invest in real assets, or watch your money evaporate.

BREAKING: The average cost of a family’s annual health insurance premium in the US is up +$1,303 YoY, or +5%, to a record $28,303.
This marks the 4th consecutive annual increase of at least +$1,300.
Over this period, the average annual premium for family coverage has surged +$5,884, or +26%.
To put this into perspective, CPI inflation has risen +13% over the same period, or half as much.
Since 1999, the average health insurance premium for a family has soared +$22,494, or +387%.
This represents an average annual growth rate of +6.1%, well above CPI inflation at +2.6% over the same period.
Health insurance has never been more expensive.
