Singapore’s ‘George Washington’ Passes Away and What America Can Re-Learn from Him (article)

Rest in peace Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.

Modern day Singapore would not exist without this extraordinary man. Just like America's founding fathers, he was willing to do some of the hard things that make a nation prosperous. Free markets, capitalism, anti-welfare, and no minimum wage helped Singapore prosper. Despite the lack of individual liberty for Singaporeans, the man understood free markets and capitalism and his economic policies were the reason he was able to turn Singapore from a third world country into a first world country in a matter of a few decades. He elevated the lifestyles of all Singaporeans significantly.

Senator Rand Paul’s speech makes me want to jump for joy

Do you want to know why Republican Senator Rand Paul standing up, fighting for our rights, and telling the truth about the Obama administration trampling on the Constitution is good for you? If you don't already know the answer, here it is: it's because every country in the world, modern and ancient, that has citizens with limited freedoms and prosperity, have their liberties taken away by the overreaching powers of their governments.

A government trampling on your rights screws with the quality of your life.

Paul said the message (regarding the open letter to Iran) was actually to President Obama. “The message I was sending was to you. The message was to President Obama, that we want you to obey the law, we want you to understand the separation of powers.”

“I signed it to an administration that doesn’t listen, to an administration that at every turn tries to go around Congress, because you think you can’t get your way,” he added. “The president says, ‘oh, the Congress won’t do what I want, so I’ve got a pen and I’ve got my phone and I’m going to do what I want.’ The letter was to you.”

How Misguided Solutions for Illegal Immigration Affects Your Wallet (article)

PanAm Post wrote an article in June about the out of control number of illegal Guatemalan minor immigrants that were flowing into the U.S. with no guardians. They kindly asked me for my thoughts on the problematic situation and I sent over my reply. They only published a portion of my response so I wanted to publish my entire answer because I think it's important.

Here's my non-PC opinion on where the solutions need to come from. Illegal immigration is expensive for Americans. At a time of such economic anguish for our own citizens, we need to really understand what the root problems are and who actually has the ability to fix these issues.

7 Little Known Reasons Women Can’t Find a Good Man

Love is the most important thing in my life. I'm extremely loyal to my family and friends. I cherish time with my loved ones.  But nothing beats my relationship with my man. I treasure the cuddles, the intimacy (emotional, physical, and intellectual), the commitment, having a best friend who knows and accepts everything about me, the romance, and every gorgeous thing that goes along with a healthy romantic relationship. Every woman I know agrees with this and wants it in their life. Every sane woman wants a good man.

Something ominous is happening though. There aren't as many men. They are disappearing. Like aliens are snatching them up from the sky. What's weird is there are a lot of "boys" around now. And they're kind of old. Like late 20's and 30's. There's even some in their 40's. And they live with their parents. With no job.

The three things a man needs in his life before he can commit to a woman fully.

Do You Recognize the Early Warning Signs of a Housing Crash?

ALL MORTGAGES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL

It's clear that many people want the 411 on what exactly happened with the housing crash. This explanation in no way implies I even know what I'm talking about, after all I am not an economist. But somehow the economists don't seem to know very much about it either so I figure I'll give it a try!

We all have an idea in our heads of what our dream house looks like. If you're lucky enough to be living in it, good for you. But most of us are losing that dream. We live in a country where most of us don't worry about basic necessities on a daily basis, like so many others around the world. But that's starting to change. Is this what Obama meant by "hope & change?"
