THE STOCK MARKET IS NOT THE MARKET THAT CONCERNS MOST PEOPLE:
People Don’t Buy Their Food, Put A Roof Over Their Heads Or Pay For Gas At The Stock Market.
I Understand that Many if Not Most Major Investments Travel through Various Exchanges, which in the Long Run is Good for the Economy as a Whole . . . But When You Can’t Outfit your Children for School, Put Food on the Table, Keep a Roof over your Head & Pay for Energy (Car, Heat & Air Conditioning), while You’re Holding-Down a Job or Two . . . The Last Thing You’re Going To Care About Is How Well The Stock Market Is Doing.
It’s The Real Market That’s Tearing At The Heart Of the Working & Middle Class.
When Trump Says He Can’t Afford to Buy Bacon Anymore, that’s Not True for a Wealthy Man Like Donald Trump . . . But It Is True For Me & Trump Is Making The Point.
I Love Smoked Salmon (Lox) On A Bagel For Breakfast. But the Costco Prices for Frozen Lox in Packages of Ten Packets & Bagels from my Favorite Montreal Bagel Producer Have Become Unaffordable . . . So Bacon is More or Less Off The Table & So Are Bagels & Lox.
LIKE MOST PEOPLE – ANNE & I . . . ARE LIVING ON THE PRECIPICE:
Anne & I Are Not Poor, but Like Everyone Else, if We Don’t Budget the Simple Things, We Could Easily Find Ourselves in Serious Financial Trouble Through No Fault of Our Own.
We’re Taking The RV & Heading Just Across The Border Into The United States For A Few Days. It’s No Big Deal. At Least it Used to be No Big Deal. The RV Park We Will be Heading-To is Less than an Hour and a Half Away from us in Northern NY State. It’s Really Nice, Located Beside A Trout-Filled Babbling Brook.
The Owners (Family Business) Try their Best to Keep the Prices as Reasonable as they Can, And They Accept Canadian Money At Par. But Even at that, Anne & I Thought Long & Hard About if We Really Wanted to Spend the Few Hundred Dollars this Little Getaway was Going to Cost us. And We Aren’t The Only Ones.
Where We Are Going Is Not A Big RV Park. I Assume they Might Have a Grand Total of 50-Spots. And Even Though We are Going During the Height of the Season, There Are No Shortage Of Vacancies At The Park.
TRUMP IS RIGHT . . . THE DEMOCRATS ARE FULL OF CRAP!
I Couldn’t Give A Fig Over How Well The Stock Exchange Is Doing, When I Have to Suspend Buying Bacon, Lox, Bagels and Think Twice About Taking or Not Taking a Short Getaway Because it is Going to Cost a Few Hundred Dollars.
In A Few Months (November 1, 2024), Anne, the Falconater & I will be at Myrtle Beach for the Winter. But Before We Go, we Must Pay for the Total RV Park Cost Up Front. We Have to Make Certain that our Tires on the Pick-Up and on the RV are in Good Condition. We Have to Pay to Have the RV Wheels Checked for Brake Life and to Make Certain the Bearings are Greased or Changed.
Also – We’ve Already Reserved the RV Parks We will be Staying-At During our Drive to Myrtle Beach. And They’re Not Cheap.
Anne & I Have Been Doing This Routine Of Traveling Throughout Most Of North America For The Past Ten Years, which Has Become Routine . . . But Not Anymore. Today, We Have to Measure Everything we Need to Do Because of the Horrible Cost of Basic Living, Including Gasoline, where in Canada, We’re Paying As Much As $7.00 A Gallon For Regular.
In Many Respects . . . the Winter-Stay in Myrtle Beach Doesn’t Really Cost us Anymore than if We Stayed-At-Home, Considering the Cost of Energy (Gas & Electricity) are so Much Cheaper in South Carolina than it is in Ontario.
The Cost of Food in Myrtle Beach, which isn’t Cheap, is Still Much Cheaper than the Cost of the Same Food in Ontario, and the Selection is Far Greater.
Also . . . We’re Mostly With Conservative Minded Kindred Spirits At Myrtle Beach.
It’s Nothing Like It Used To Be, As Few As Just 4-Years Ago, When we Woke Up Looking Forward to a Day Of Plenty . . . and Didn’t Go to Sleep that Night Wondering What we Couldn’t Afford the Next Day.
I’m Not Crying About Our Lot In Life, Because Thank God, Anne & I Feel Blessed.
We Have Wonderful Shelter & Facilities, a Refrigerator & Pantry Full of Good Food, Horses that we Don’t Ride, but Still Support . . . The Falconator who Brings Great Joy & Pleasure to our Daily Lives, And We Have Our Relatively Good Health . . . Even Though We Are In Our Mid-Seventies.
I Can Still Write, Speak & Advocate . . . And In Spite Of The Mounting Costs Of Living, I (We) Still Have A Lot To Be Thankful For.
But Not Everyone is so Blessed, which is Not Overlooked, But Rather Ignored By The Politicians On The LEFT, And Their Acolytes in the Media, the Unions & the Public Sector.
UBER-WEALTHY DONALD TRUMP GETS-IT . . . THE MEDIA HIDES-IT:
The Media Will Never Tell You The Truth About What’s Not Best For The Media.
The Media Will Not Tell You The Truth About The Economy. They won’t Tell you the Truth about Homelessness. You Won’t Get an Honest Answer from the Media About Illegal Immigration or the Cost to House, Feed, Educate & Supply Healthcare to the Illegal Usurpers of our Societies.
The Media Won’t Tell You The News The Insiders Don’t Want You To Know.
They Won’t Tell you About the Riots in England & Why British Citizens are Rioting. They Won’t Tell you About How Macron’s French (So-Called) Center-Left Party Colluded with French Political Communists to Keep the Very Popular Conservative Party of Marine Le Pen from Winning the French Parliament.
The Media Won’t Tell You About The Wonderful Truth Of Israel & The Horrid Truths Of Israel’s Enemies. They Won’t Tell you About the Disgusting Career & Personality of Kamala Harris . . . But They Will Force Feed The Population On A Hollywood-Type Story About A Make-Believe Kamala Harris.
THAT’S THE MEDIA . . . I’M NOT THE MEDIA – I’M AN HONEST ADVOCATE:
I Always Tell-It Like It Is & How I Perceive-It To Be . . . Even About My Lifestyle.
After All Is Said & Done . . . I’m You – I Grew-Up Poor. But My Folks Did Everything they Could to Elevate Themselves, My Two Sisters & Myself to the Status of Lower Middle Class.
My Story Is Probably A Mirror Image To Your Story.
I Worked Full Time Between Classes in High School Fixing Bicycles for a Small Sporting Shop – When I Was 12-Years-Old. I Washed Windows, Mowed People’s Lawns & Shoveled Snow When I Wasn’t Working for the Sport Shop. There was Never a Time in My Life from 12-Years-On When I Wasn’t Working – Even While I Attended University.
I Know What We Are All Going Through. And I Detest the Bastards in their High Government Places, Unions & Bureaucracies Who are Feeding on the Good Will & Carcasses of Working People and the Middle Class.
I Don’t Resent The Rich & Powerful – I Wish I Was One Of Them. But I Deeply Resent the Callousness & Attitude of People who Look Down on the Little People who Have been their Catalyst to Greatness.
I Hate the Smugness of the Hollywooders and the People who Came from Humble Beginnings . . . But Have Forgotten From Where They Have Come.
I Know What It Is To Be Privileged – Even If Privilege Was Self-Earned:
I’ve Flown First Class & Have Eaten In Some Of North America’s Finest Restaurants. I’ve Spoken Many Times to Crowds that Numbered in the Thousands. I Defended those who Could Not Defend themselves, and I Even Financed Several “Rights” Cases that Went Before Canada’s Supreme Court.
I’M NOT ASKING FOR YOUR APPROBATION OR APPLAUSE:
I’m Asking For Your Understanding . . . That When I Write Or Speak, I’m Doing So From My Heart.
I’m Asking That When I Request Your Support For What I Write On Galganov.Com, that I’m Calling Upon You to Help Lighten My Load, Because You Believe as I Do, That Without An Honest & Understanding Media . . . We Will Become Vassals Of The Government & The Rich & Powerful.
Only If You Can Afford To Help Support Galganov.com . . . Please Click Here To Be Directed To The Page That Will Guide You As To How.
Thank You In Advance.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Thank you for all you do for ALL of us. I’ve donated but wish you could have been more. I know you understand our being retired and on fixed income. Please stay safe.
I started typing earlier & it vanished before my eyes. Nowhere to be found now. You nailed it, Howard. Upsetting, but you nailed it. I do think Trump understands things. Because he talks to people. Dems hear the words but don’t feel what the people the meaning. I know my parents struggled. My husband & I struggled under Carter’s pillage. And now we have Biden. Does he know what’s happening or is he only doing what he’s told to do & say? America needs a brain & reasoning in the WH.
Howard-brilliant as usual. So many people are suffering as a result of the ***** in the White House and his team of reprobates. The masses are brain washed by the corrupt media. They are like chickens signing up with Col Sanders because he gave them a little grain. I pray they awaken and vote out all the demon rats. Keep up your great work.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and truth. I was raised on a struggling farm in Ontario. My parents could not afford any college for their 4 kids, so I left for the USA at 18 and found opportunities to flourish and am now comfortably retired. My hope is that the USA can be saved, so others can benefit from that same field of opportunity before it is sacrificed to the socialist schemes to destroy it. Keep up the great work you do.
Only one Muslim is guilty for the mayhem. The US is in dire danger as planned by Hussein Soetoro Obama. Biden was selected to be Obama’s tool for four years. They dumped it. Comes the second tool. Evita Harris. President Trump should not.mingle with that specimen. And be extremely careful otherwise.
Like you, Howard, I was brought up “lower middle class” and I earned money mowing lawns, shovelling snow and delivering The Montreal Star. But know this: Money Is Not Everything. I knew a man (richer than God) who had a great family. They went to Swtzerland for vacation; stayed in a high class Hotel, with excellent top-notch dining, etc…The next day they all went mountain climbing and this wealthy man (husband & father) fell off the mountain and got killed. Tomorrow is promised to no-one.
Great comments, all. And, spot-on. You are describing many of us as well. Shmuel, above, is 100% correct. We are praying for Trump and his safety. The next 5 1/2 months are going to be historically pivotal.
I know from where you come. Been there, done that. Worked from the age of 14, made choices, some good some not so good but I survived and at 91 am still challenging “Bad Government” and in some cases they even listen. Some ask Why? Well I consider that someone has to challenge or nothing will ever change. Keep up the good fight Howard.
Vietnam taught me to NEVER TRUST YOUR GOVERNMENT! Biden, Clinton, Nixon, Bush 1&2 ,Carter, and most of all LBJ reinforced that message. I have limited means–Thank you Joe–because I have a fixed income not tied to inflation and I’m slowly sinking with no real options. I’m 77 and my wife is 80 and fighting diabetes and heart disease with all the unaffordable meds we can manage on our budget. Still, I’m sending you what I can–You’re that important!
Total agreement.
Excellent editorial Howard. We trust you an can depend on you…thanks for being their when we people need the truth. Our enemies are within our Governments Canada & America. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN….VOTE TRUMP 2024!
I thought I might have been the first to conclude that the Democrat Party is nothing less than evil but have since come across people using the same term. America now fits every definition of a Fascist State while half the population whistles past the graveyard humming America the Beautiful hoping the next election will be honest. After murdering 65 million and counting unborn children, don’t expect God to bless and protect you. Without a revival or renaissance …
