Early voting continues through October 31, from eight in the morning until six in the evening. I am voting for Mike Mills for Marion County School Board District 4 and Dr. Sarah James for District 5. I am asking you to pl...

When the Safe Harbor Takes Fire This is about money, and the parts of it most people have never laid eyes on. It is not a sermon about whose side God is on in the Middle East. It is about what happens to people's savings when the balance of the world shifts, and it is shifting right now. Here is the plain truth. Most people who save money do not know what they are actually invested in. Not because...

If It Quacks Her hair never moves. She sits in a white coat with a stethoscope around her neck, a neat bob, a kind face, and a calm voice. She tells you what to put in your coffee. She tells you which thirteen foods help your body's natural weight-loss hormone. The channel calls her Dr. Elizabeth Monroe. Here is the surprising part. Much of what she says is ordinary, decent advice. Eat your greens...

Hooves on the Ballot Ground beef is running close to seven dollars a pound, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The reason is simple. America is running out of cows. And the place where that problem meets your kitchen table, your property value, and your grandchildren's jobs is a school board runoff right here in Marion County, where two candidates, Brigitte Smith and Donald Barber, are r...

The Argumentative Waterboy What This Is About A week ago I said, Mr. Barber, you're next. This is that piece. It is about a man running for the Marion County School Board in District 5 against Sarah James. His name is Donald Barber. His campaign calls him Donny. I call him the argumentative Waterboy, because he ran a city's water system and because of his long history of plain obnoxious arguments....

Waves of Hogwash The Dinosaur in the Gas Tank - The Star Chamber on the Ballot Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF, CLU, ChFC, RFC September 26, 2026 From a 1970s science class to a 2026 school board race, the same wave of nonsense keeps rolling in. Here is how to see it coming. Dinosaur oil, famines that never came, a burger that crashed the cattle market, and two local candidates who see fraud behin...

I'll Be Your Huckleberry The Paul Truesdell Podcast and Blog September 23, 2026. Tuesday at Stone Creek On Tuesday, September 22, I sat in the Stone Creek Republican Club meeting with hundreds and hundreds of Republican residents, and a few non-residents, to hear our State Representative Ryan Chamberlin promote Amendment 3. It would significantly increase the homestead exemption and give tax relie...

Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF  0:08   Well, good morning, good afternoon, or good evening. It is Monday, September the 14th, and it is 2026. So today, I thought I would start reactivating the Paul Truesdell podcast and start doing things a little bit different, kind of telling you what we're doing and why we're doing it, because I think it's important for me to talk to you in a way that we're ha...

The Warehouse Where They Keep You By Paul Grant Truesdell, The Elder – September 8, 2026. What This Is About This is not a story about the government spying on you. That is an old fear, and a healthy one, and I am not here to talk you out of it. This is a story about the other crowd. The ones who never needed a warrant, because you let them in the front door yourself, and you did it for free. The...

Think About It Connecting the dots with clear-eyed forecasting and practical wealth advice and management. Rational. Calm. Built for a mature audience that wants facts, not noise. Think about it. For most of our lives, radiation has been a scare word. The movies taught it. The news stories taught it. The school lessons taught it. Radiation was pure poison, the thing that turned people into monster...

Fix the Engine Before You Wax the Hood A bite-size think about it bite. When my father worked on the family car, he never waxed the hood while the engine was still knocking. He fixed the big thing first, then worried about the shine. In Ukraine, they made a smart choice about order. Most of the supplies moving into Crimea came over land. Only a small slice, something like four or five percent, cam...

The Outernet.   A bite-size think about it bite. Remember when finding a phone number meant reaching for the white pages, and finding a good plumber meant flipping through the yellow pages? That world has quietly slipped away. And here is something even harder to wrap our heads around. Star Trek, Star Wars, and Buck Rogers — the shows many of us watched as kids and assumed were pure fantasy — have...

Rough Producer Notes LIGHT BLUE They told us Antifa was just a myth, an idea, a figment of conservative imagination cooked up to scare folks, but this week in Minneapolis the Department of Justice proved every last one of them wrong and the arrests have already begun. YELLOW For years the legacy media, the Democrat Party, and every left-wing voice with a platform swore Antifa didn’t really exist w...

Why most podcasting efforts are a waste of time.  PODCAST NOTES — WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT PODCASTING By Paul Truesdell A LITTLE BACKGROUND Let me give you some background on what I've learned about this whole podcasting business. When I started, we had dialup. That's right — dialup. The internet sounded like a fax machine having a nervous breakdown, and I was running a program called Icecast. I-C-...
