That's The Bottom Line 09/28/24

over the internet listen. I'm a partner at Asset Growth Associates. We've got offices located in Dallas, Houston, and Beaumont, Texas, where we offer investment, pension and retirement planning services as well as income tax returns for individuals, families, and businesses. Hey, we do it all at Asset Growth associates, including representing our clients who may be having difficulty with the irs, often being able to negotiate a settlement, and occasionally even

paying nothing at all, sometimes negotiating a fresh start as well. Hey, as I said, we do it all and have been serving our clients in Texas and Louisiana for decades. On today's report, among today's topics is the ensuing prediction of what lies ahead and the continued continuing struggle to win back our God given freedoms as Americans. We're also going to talk about the ongoing war against Israel by terrorists and the role the hand of God may be playing

in it. And today's dirty Little Secret exposes more of the treachery by US Attorney General Merrick Garland's effort to destroy US companies for becoming successful. I guess the Democrats and the federal government. You know, we're sposed to live in a free enterprise system, but they just can't stand prosperity, can they. And today's solutions segment, as always, we'll share real investment opportunities to successfully achieve the financial old your

financial goals for comfortable and solved outcome. We have the answer and it's right here in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana, so you don't have to go looking for experts from afar right, and we can help with all types of tax returns, ladies and gentlemen. I want you to know that. All right, time to get the show on the road. The political drama of the upcoming presidential election is underway.

The media is going loony with predictions about how Kamala could win by one electoral vote, and the media is twisting the facts, you know, to fit whatever their scenario is for any given day. For the next month or so until the election is held, be ready for the talking heads on television moving around electoral votes on blue and red states and predicting the outcomes odd but they they don't know and really are mostly propagandists for the

pro socialist Modern Democrat Party. But you know they're up there doing their pitches. I've said this before, I'm gonna say it again. In America, our constitution provides for freedom of the press, which means to me at least, why does the media lean so far to the left when it knows the Democrat Party, if it could, would take away that precious freedom. The freedom of the press, and you know they don't like freedom of speech either, do they.

This year's election will be a critical one, and if Kamala Harris and the Democrats win it, that would be another bow against freedom, against your freedom. The news media is made up of self serving liberals whose objective is to eventually eliminate the middle class and replace us those of us who live in the middle class through June me and replace us with all those illegals currently invading our homeland. The strategy, of course is to create replacement

voters who will support Democrats. Will it work? Such things like that have occurred in other countries. Germany, for example, became home for the Nazis, who rounded up Jews and put them in concentration camps. In Russia, the Communists overthrew the Czar and created the Bolshevik Revolution, which caused Russia and other countries like China to fall under the rule of despots like Joseph Stalin and Mount Saintung dictators that

destroyed the lives of their own citizens. And what stopped communism in the past was the United States of America, which was the bastion of freedom still is the bastion of freedom for all mankind for centuries now, As has so often been said, the price of freedom is constant vigilance. For too long now we've been we've not been paying enough attention, ignoring world events. Little by little, cruel despot's gain power and use that power against their fellow countrymen,

enslaving millions. That disease has slipped into the modern Democrat Party. Ladies and gentlemen in the garden of Eden, Satan convinced Adam and E to eat the forbidden fruit with the lie that if they did, they would become gods themselves. Well, that chaos continues today, spawned by the war of good versus evil. Given the chance to live in paradise, what did Adam and E choose? They chose death over life.

It seems to happen every decade or so evil rises up against good and it starts new struggles for all mankind, And that includes you and me. When we were kids and playing a pickup ball pickup ball game on the street and the opposing team would cheat our side would chant. Winners never cheat and cheaters never win. Well, that seems to be true, But when the cheaters win in politics,

it usually brings with it poverty, bloodshed, and famine. God always triumphs over evil, and he loves us, and he forgives us, but not before, not before evil and dearly

destroys the world. Instead of listening to those who hate America and call our country unfair, would be much better off as a society without the rhetoric of anti Americanism, by embracing what is good with America and improving upon it peacefully, simply put, simple enough to say, I guess, but hard to accomplish because too many of us have forgotten the Golden rule, which which says, to do unto

others as you would have others do unto you. Today is the day to give the Golden rules some consideration in choosing sides in this war against good and evil, and hopefully choose good. If you and I lose America by not choosing good over evil, we root everything for ourselves as well as our posterity. Today's Democrat Party is not your grandfather's Democrat Party. It's different. They've went too

far to the left. As we approach the coming presidential and congressional elections, we must choose sides and hopefully choose good over evil. Listen. That's the bottom line and where we begin today's report. So much, ladies and gentlemen, So much is going on right now, and we're in the we're we're in the closing days of the election, and we have a choice. We've got a choice between former President Donald Trump coming back into office or we can

put that laughing hyena Camilla Harris back in there. I don't know I shouldn't say that, but you know, what is important is being prepared for the future, very important. I don't think anyone can argue with me when I'd say that one way to be prepared is to consider how to invest money for the future. Today's financial markets are very skiddish, and it seems we have too well,

it doesn't seem we have too much government interference. And the government interferes and interferes and interferes, and what that does is that makes it more difficult for people to go into business to succeed and to help build a better economy for the whole country. So one way to capture market gains for you as an investor and keep growing a nest egg without having it swept away in a downturn would be to put some money into one of those principal protection accounts we offer through our work

at Asset Growth Associates. Yeah, right here in Beaumont, Texas. You don't have to go look for an expert in some faraway place. You got you got experts right here and we do the same things the experts from far away do, and we do it better. Call us the local number in Beaumont four O nine eight four sixty nine hundred. That's the phone number for Asset Growth Associates.

I want you to schedule a time you can come in visit with us and we will help you build your retirement nesting, no question about that, because really that's that's what we do for a living. We help people secure their financial future, and when it comes to setting funds aside for future use, we can help ladies and gentlemen. Putting funds away in a four oh one K works well during your early years when you're working, but as you get older, as personneer's retirement, market downturns can wipe

years of accumulation. One solution is to move a portion of those accumulated funds out of harm's way before you retire. While you're still working, you move that money aside. You put the money where it will no longer be exposed to market losses. Put it inside one of these principal protection accounts you hear me talk about on this program.

A phone call to Asset Growth Associates is simple. The phone numbers four nine eight four sixty nine hundred, and it'll be the first step, the first step of a successful outcome. And everybody wants a successful outcome, I'm sure, So let's let's all make a make a decision in our minds to see which way we need to go. Listen, I've got more to cover, but I'll be back right after these messages.

in fact, it might just just the opposite. Here is proving to be true because every time the events splare up in what we call the Holy Land, it hearkens a lot of speculation and often entwines what's becoming, you know, in this modern age. It entwines it into the ancient prophecies of the Bible, saying you know, you know, you look back to look ahead. Right now, this very instant warfare continues in that part of the world. You know that the Mid East is really on fire. Let me

go back in history. Let's talk a little bit about all this after the Romans put down an insurrection in Israel. This is decades ago. Even after the time of Christ, many Jews were sent as prisoners of war and as slaves into ancient Rome. History tells us the Roman Coliseum was actually built by Hebrew slaves, and this part of

history is referred to as the diaspora. But by prophecies that predicted all of this also foretold that the outcaste and persecuted Jews would eventually be able to return to their homeland. At the end of World War Two, That's exactly what occurred, and the remnant of Jews left alive in Europe after the persecution by Nazis and Communists were sent back to what would become the modern nation of Israel.

After more years of fighting, the modern nation of Israel arose to become a force to be reckoned with in

the Middle East and still is today. But while modern Israel remains a force to be dealt with, it is surrounded by its enemies and conjures up ancient prophecies about how once again Israel's enemies will again attack an attempt to destroy what is usually referred to as the Promised Land because it was Almighty God himself that promised the Jewish people that they would once again have their homeland.

But those prophecies also foretell how Israel's enemies would imperil it once again, and when that occurs, Christ himself would intervene and triumphantly install his kingdom on earth. In the Book of Revelation, the names Gog and may Gog are applied to evil forces that will join with Satan in the Great Struggle at the end of time, after Satan has been bound and chained for a thousand years, it's written that he'll be released. He'll be released and rise

up once again and attack Jerusalem. You know, the prophecy says it will be at this point God will send fire from heaven to destroy Satan and preside over the last judgment. You know, it's hard to absorb this when you're just a layman out there and you're trying to just make your way through life day to day. But the question always arises when you read prophecy for out

of the Bible. Are we there yet? I don't know, But as we see world events un rival as they're currently doing, if anything, we can look back to look ahead and anticipate these events will ultimately occur. How close are we no one knows, but it would seem sensible to seriously look and learn more about these world shattering events yet to come. Like an old country preacher, I'm

going to tell you this, ladies and gentlemen. I've mentioned this before, but you know, an old country preacher told me decades ago when I was just a young guy. If anyone wants proof that God exists, simply note that Israel itself still exists. From ancient times through countless wars and persecution of the Jewish people, they still exist, as does the nation of Israel, as does Christianity. Now listen

to me. I'm not a preacher, nor am I being anything remotely close to understanding deep meanings or the constant struggle between good and evil. However, if we can keep it simple, Jesus himself told us how to do it when he said listen, Yeah, they call it the Golden rule. Love God with your whole heart and your neighbor as yourself. If you do this, Jesus said, you will be keeping all the other commandments of God. He said, you can't

break the other ones if you keep those. And this is why this quote from Jesus is often referred to as the Golden Rule. So as we continue to see the politics if foreign entanglements grow, we can also know by simply reading the Bible how it all ends, and that even though good will ultimately triumph over evil, that evil itself will not be easily stopped. And the only thing that we really know is that good is going to prevail. We just have to take that on faith.

We also have to know that keeping the Golden Rule can enable a better future for everyone. When Satan deceived Adam and Eve by telling them to eat the forbidden fruit so they would become as gods themselves and know the difference between good and evil, it was strong. There was a strong enough temptation that roomed everything for Adam and Eve and as far as that goes, for the

rest of mankind. But through God's mercy, Christ came into the world, He redeemed us, and Eve didn't have the sense to turn away the forbidden fruit, and so the you know, and so I wonder whether any of us would have either, And as such, because of that, Because of that, and because God is just, we continue to live in a world of constant turmoil. Well most of us know that, most of us know the truth, but

too many, too many of us still ignore. I don't mean to ramble on with that, but you know, when you look at world events today, when you look at the United States of America, and that this this struggle, with this political nonsense of you know, wanting to take away what you have and let the government control things. That's communist communism. You know it as well as I do.

That is not what God intended. He gave you a free will and me too, and we're supposed to use that free will, but he would prefer we use that free will to do good, not to do evil. These are a lot of the I guess the mysteries of life that many of us don't understand. But I think it's we're always better off to do the right thing, and whenever we do the right thing, things usually turn out okay. Now sometimes they don't. You wonder why the heck I thought I was doing the right thing. What happened?

And then you get bitter. But listen, in the end, if you do the right thing, you just have to have the faith in yourself and in God that everything's going to turn out okay. In the future. That's the whole ballgame. You know, We're only here for a short period of time. It seems like yesterday I was a kid playing pick up baseball, and now I'm getting pretty old. I'm getting old, got a lot of aches and pains, got a lot of maladies that I wish I didn't

have that I have to put up with. But in any event, ladies and gentlemen, life goes on, and everything that you read in the Bible is true, and Jesus is going to come back and he's going to rule the world. That we're in a struggle between good and evil until he returns. Okay, I've got a lot to cover, so don't go away. We have more to share with you on today's report you're listening to. That's the bottom line.

is my risk number? Dot com?

because it depends from your point of view. US Attorney General Merrick Garland wants to redesign your Visa debit card, claiming in a lawsuit this past week that Visa uses illegal tactics designed to limit competition. Visa, which operates the largest card network in the United States, sits at the center of many consumers' daily payments. When you use a debit card, it's the same as using cash to to

make your purchases. So one might ask, how does this interfere with fairness and how does the success of debit card prevent the success of rival debit cards if it's the same as using cash. Right, According to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Visa used carrots and sticks to keep potential competitors off its turf and to punish merchants that did not that did business with rivals. That's what Merrick's complaining about.

That's what the lawsuit says. Fearing that such tech companies would deploy cheaper options for sending money from back accounts, Visa paid companies to limit innovation and undermine startups that tried to compete. That's legal ease, you know. You know, that's how when they write these lawsuits they put it together. Anyhow,

that's what Meyrick Garland's complaining about. He said, you know, they try to undermine startups when the government sends the US Justice Department after successful companies, isn't this a slap in the face of our American free enterprise system. You know, in the United States, we have the free enterprise system that means that you are free to work hard and

accomplish greatness. But you know yours competition, right, well, whatever happened to build a better mousetrap, and the world will be the path to your door, because that's really what we're supposed to be supporting, not saying that you know, you're too successful, so the government has to step in

and take it away from you. Visus successfully has become the dominant debit card used in the United States, and somehow, through that success has made it harder for other debit companies to compete, and therefore has to be is for becoming as successful as it has. Let's say you want to buy a new car right now, you know, right like you're sitting around and saying, hey, my sign for uscott and get a new car. And one company brings a better vehicle to the showroom floor through better features

and designs, and it makes more sales. Why would that company have to be punished for its so why would it have to be punished so its competitor can increase its sales as well. If Ford wants to sell more cars than Chevrolet, it should provide more innovation and a competitive price, not go running into the Justice Department and try to pressure Chevrolet into lowering its prices to help Ford sell more cars. That doesn't sound fair, right, or what would be the difference between my example here and

the debit card right banking? Maybe my analogy, you know, isn't the best one to use. But if a company, any company, and he wants a larger share of the marketplace, why should it be able? Why should it be able to go running to the Justice Department and use the force of the government through lawsuits to help it do better in the marketplace? You know, that's supposed to be

just competition is competition? That's interference in the free market system, having a federal government putting pressure on a successful enterprise to boost an inferior one. I was told this story about two small grocery store owners that competed with one another side by side and put prices on a checkboard. The way the story goes, when grocer A put his prices on a chalkboard, Grocer B didn't lower his prices. He simply snuck over to his neighbor's store, erased the price,

and increased it onader's chuckboard. Who knows if the story is true or not. I don't even know if it's true, but someone claims that way back back in the late eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds, that was a true a true deal. And of those one of those guys that owned the store was my grandfather. But someone's always capable of putting his or her thumb on the scale. I guess I don't know. In our American free enterprise system,

we're not supposed to punish success. We're supposed to reward it. When the federal government steps into the free market system and interferes with the company because it has become successful, that's inconsistent with the American free market system. And when the government dictates prices, that's really communism, and when it happens, it destroys the economies. So Visa has been successful in

cornering a large share of the debit card business. So here comes US Attorney General Mary Garland, and he sues Visa for being successful and accuses the company of building a monopoly. Does that sound fair? There may be better factors that I'm overlooking, or other factors that I'm overlooking, but the government should not be getting involved with one company becoming more successful than another. That's the whole point.

That's the point I'm trying to make. The politicians and the bureaucrats sitting on their lofty purchase of government are the enemies of success and innovation too often, and they sling their power around in such a way as they fast become the enemy of the people instead of pursuing justice and honesty for all. And that's really the bottom line, ladies and gentlemen. We live in a free enterprise system.

That's why you take money and you invest it in the stock market, and if one get on, you pick and choose you what you're the company that you're investing money in. You want that company to succeed.
