Take these with you in life.............

Human is not a synonym for rational. Don't confuse net worth with self-worth. Success has nothing to do with money and everything to do with how you feel about yourself. People can do whatever they think they can do. I've never met a successful pessimist. I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. The extra mile is never crowded. Americans underestimate the value of pure freedom. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. Hustle never has an off night. Don't fear giving up the good to go for the great.

Remember this the next time you wait to see a DR.

The only purpose of medicine is to have you come back for more medicine.

If American healthcare was 1st in the world every Hospital and Doctor Group would be writing prescriptions for gym memberships, running shoes, free weights, healthy food, and swim time.  

The monstrous LIES of COVID

We were right about the lab leak.

We were right about natural immunity.

We were right about masks.
We were right about lockdowns.
We were right about the vaccines.
We were right about boosters.
We were right about them faking COVID numbers.
We were right about the deadly hospital protocol.

We were right about Ivermectin.

We were right about Dr. Fauci.

We were right about the WHO.

We were right about it being a world power grab.

Guess who was wrong about everything?

The United States Government, the CDC, the 2 weeks to flatten the curve cultists.

I still miss working ............

Mothers Day, 2024

Mom always knew about haters, she could spot them miles away.

The sad reality for all who aspire and achieve is that we deal with people threatened by the best of who we are and what we do.

A great friend is sensitive enough to be there for you when you're down and secure enough to celebrate when you're soaring.  Haters are never secure, happy people.  They show interest when you're down, but revel in setbacks with false concern.   They are remarkably silent when you have cause for celebration.

It's sad but true:  If you have happiness and fulfillment in relationships and your career and build a loving and caring family, not everyone will be happy for you.

Some will try to bring you down.

Haters hate what they do not have. 

They resent what they cannot themselves achieve.

On Mother's Day, give the haters a break.  

Mom believed in taking chances again and again with haters.

McDonalds. Under the Golden Arches.

The primary appeal of fast-food burgers (even though the food is terrible for your health) is cheap and fast. However, 3.5 years of disastrous Bidenomics (enabled by Fed chair Powell) has sparked an inflation shitstorm that continues to spread through the economy like stage-four cancer, with low-consumers under severe pressure - this was even acknowledged by McDonald's in its latest earnings report.

Now, McDonald's could re-launch $5 combo meal deals, according to Bloomberg, citing a person familiar with the upcoming promotion. This could include a McChicken or a McDouble, fries, and a drink. 

The potential new offering comes as Goldman analysts warned that low-income consumers are in rough shape and pulling back spending amid mounting stagflation threats. 

"With >75% of the US consumer universe having reported Q1 results, we see indications that the US consumer is proving more stretched than previously anticipated as inflation combined with a bit of softening in the macro (lower payrolls & an uptick in unemployment in April), elevated gas prices & high interest rates continue to eat into spending power & consumer confidence," Goldman analysts headed by Bonnie Herzog wrote in a note to clients on Thursday.

Mistakes

I made mistakes during the 25 years of managing an investment management firm.   In retrospect, one of the biggest was time management.   I did NOT differentiate between large and small.   It didn't matter who paid us higher fees versus those who did not.   If you had a problem, no matter the size, it was a problem we would sort out.

One aspect of our success had nothing to do with money. The bottom line isn't measured in dollars and cents. We never forgot where we came from. Unlike most of the major firms we never told a prospective client of Chippewa Partners that we had a minimum account size.  And never would.  

 

Why would Dean Parisian, raised in the poorest county in America on the Pine Ridge Reservation, tell someone they’re too “small” to get world-class investment help?

 

Since our inception in 1993 we never discriminated against anyone for having a “small” account and welcomed investors of all colors, sexual preferences, races and Native American tribes to become a client of the firm.

Mandaree on Ft. Berthold

This was home. In the 60's the total population was around 100.  Where I danced in pow-wows.  Learned to cowboy.   Killed my first deer.  My first rattler.   Hunted beaver.   Watched Northern Lights.  Learned to kill animals on the run.  Saw death in many forms.  Probably shot more sharp-tailed grouse than anyone in America.  

Mandaree Warriors.   Class of 1972.   I doubt 15% of the class is still alive.

James Melville

 They told us to lockdown and socially distance while they held private parties.

They told us to save the planet while they flew to climate summits in private jets. They told us that there was no magic money tree while they spent our tax money on wars and housing migrants in hotels. They told us that there was a cost of living crisis while they gave themselves a pay rise and we paid our taxes to fund their subsidized meals and energy costs in their second homes. They warn us of water shortages despite 7 months of incessant rain and water companies selling off reservoirs.

They warn us of food shortages while undermining farmers with restrictive policies that risk food production and their livelihoods. They constantly create new ways to monitor and surveil us, yet they are the ones who should be monitored. Our government is gaslighting us.
