from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network
Kerry interviewed Stormi Banks, who passionately shared her journey in entrepreneurship and her mission to assist others in securing grants and funding through her grant writing agency, which has positively impacted over 10,000 clients. She recounted a notable success story of obtaining a $311,000 grant for a child care facility in Houston and outlined the various educational and grant writing services her agency provides, along with their associated fees. The discussion also addressed the challenges faced by emerging entrepreneurs and grant writers, stressing the necessity for affordable services, the importance of skills such as reading, financial management, and leadership, and the competitive nature of grant applications that require a robust plan. Furthermore, they explored the logistical hurdles of managing clients and processes in a grant writing service and how they have adapted their operations to improve the customer experience.

In a world dominated by tech billionaires like Elon Musk, there is another figure poised to enter the same league of extraordinary wealth, influence, and global recognition—but from a completely different arena. Eric Sprott, a Canadian multi-billionaire, has spent decades building an empire in precious metals, particularly gold and silver. While Musk has become synonymous with innovation in electric vehicles and space exploration, Sprott has quietly amassed one of the most formidable portfolios in the mining sector. As the prices of gold and silver continue to climb, Sprott’s wealth and power are set to rival, if not surpass, those of the tech mogul.

On Wednesday, the outgoing NATO Neocon, who should be thrown in prison for life as a threat to humanity, Jens Stoltenberg, is an outrageous and irresponsible head of NATO, and his replacement will be more of the same. This disgusting Necon suggested that allowing Ukraine to use Western long-range missiles to strike Russian territory would NOT trigger an escalation from Moscow. If Russia told Belarus to start sending missiles into Europe and attack its power grid and political centers, that means NATO would do nothing.

The title of this post was found on page 88 of “Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions” by authors Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec. Published this year, I discovered the book to be concisely written and well-sourced.
The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced a 50 basis point cut in its federal funds rate target on Wednesday. The move marks a reversal at the Fed, which had held its target rate range at 5.25 to 5.5 percent since July 2023. FOMC members previously worried high inflation might become entrenched. They now believe inflation is on a path back to 2 percent, thereby warranting a gradual transition from tight to neutral monetary policy.
“Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country,” Sen. J.D. Vance (R–Ohio), Donald Trump’s running mate, averred on X the morning of September 9, referring to rumors that Haitian immigrants were eating stolen cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. That same morning, Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck told The Wall Street Journal, a Vance staffer called to ask him, “Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?”
