Harvard Law School was embarrassed recently when one of its graduates, the putative President of the United States, demonstrated that he was unaware that the supreme Court has constitutional authority to declare an act of Congress unconstitutional. I have already proved that Art. I, Sec. 8, next to last clause is what authorizes Congress to assess the fee from ship owners who use the federal dock-yards. Now I will show you where the Constitution grants authority to Congress to require adult citizens to get armed!

Feb. 9, 2012. You can put it in the history books now. That was the day the $15.6 trillion national debt surpassed 100 percent of the $15.4 trillion Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Based on the latest data by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the economy just grew by $142.2 billion in the first quarter, or an annual rate of 2.2 percent. That compares to data from the U.S. Treasury showing the national debt grew by $359.6 billion at an annual rate of 9.4 percent.

Have you ever wondered why America is having such trouble competing in the global market? Have you ever wondered why the American economy is struggling? The answer is simple.

Your investment appreciates in two ways. First, the value of the company appreciates by inflation, which generally has averaged about 4.5%. Second, the company has earnings that bring an additional 6.7% return. Sometimes a portion of these earnings is paid out in dividends.

For fifteen million dollars, France sold its land west of the Mississippi, called the Louisiana Territory, because Napoleon Bonaparte needed money quickly for his military campaigns.

It was a Friday night, June 9, 1972. The Rapid City Flood was the fifth worst flood in American history. Two hundred and thirty-eight people lost their lives. Another 3,000 were injured. Many were saved. And the lives of everyone involved were changed for ever. Thousands of stories came out of that flood. Here’s mine.

First, I would ask myself: how did our ancestors build America from an agricultural colony on the edge of civilization into the number one manufacturing and commercial nation the world had ever known.

“Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!” yelled Admiral David Farragut, who had lashed himself atop the mainsail to see above the smoke. His fleet of wooden ships with hulls wrapped in chains, and his four iron clad monitors, were attacking Fort Morgan in Mobile Bay, August 5, 1864. Earlier, APRIL 29, 1862, Farragut captured New Orleans, the Confederacy’s largest city. Sailing the Mississippi River at night, his ships were hard to hit, as he tied tree branches to the riggings and covered the hulls with mud.
