Since its inception in 1957, the S&P 500 has hit 1,334 all-time highs.
That's a new record once every 19 days, on average.
The lesson? All-time highs are not something to fear. They're a normal part of long-term wealth creation.
Milton Friedman:
“I’m not an anarchist. I believe that government has a very important role, but it’s a limited role. Because we’ve been trying to extend the role, we haven’t been doing what government ought to do as well as it should.”
“We’ve been doing a terrible job on what ought to be the first function of government. The first function of government is to protect the nation against foreign enemies and to protect individual citizens against assault by their fellow citizens.”
“We’ve been doing a terrible job on both ends.”
💥Stephen A. Smith tells Bill O'Reilly why he entered political arena💥
Smith asserted he wanted to help solve the disenfranchisement of black Americans that has resulted from blind loyalty to the Democrat Party.
He argued that Democrats don't cater to black Americans because they know they'll automatically get their votes.
Smith said he believes it's necessary for black Americans to have open minds about who to vote for.
Nearly 85% of black voters were Democrats or leaned Democrat as of a 2024 Pew Research Center report.
Trump received 15% of the black vote in 2024 — which was a 7% increase from 2020, according to Pew.
Smith previously called the increase of black men voting for Trump in 2024 a "huge step."
We're constantly encouraged to pursue more possessions, prestige, and power, believing they'll make us happy. But when things become what we love and people become what we use, we've got the formula for a good life completely backward.
Things are meant to be used. People are meant to be loved. And God, not ourselves, belongs at the center of our lives.
