Author of How to Prep When You’re Broke and Bloom Where You’re Planted online course EDITOR’S NOTE: Since money problems are running rampant, I thought I’d do a series of Frugal Friday posts that may help you live well while spending less. This is the first in the series. ~ Daisy As our economy continues to decline, many people are struggling with financial difficulties. Others see money trouble on the horizon. Many businesses are closing and filing for bankruptcy. Others are laying off employees en masse. All this means is that if you aren’t having money problems now, it’s very possible you could be soon. And communication is key when dealing with the people to whom you owe money. Resource: The Flat Broke Bundle What to do when your income slows down This is something I’ve written about in detail in more than one article. Here’s a detailed article about job loss but the strategies would also work if your hours are cut. The basics are: Know your rights. You may have some recourse if your hours are cut or if you are laid off. If you have any type of employment contract, now is the time to go over it with a fine-tooth comb. Don’t sign anything until you’ve taken the time to calm down and think things through. Begin a total spending freeze. Give it a couple of days before you spend a dime. You’ll need to re-assess your budget. Apply for unemployment. Whether you lost your job completely or your hours were cut, you may qualify for unemployment or other benefits. You’ve been paying into the fund for just this reason, so don’t be too proud to accept the help. Unemployment is not welfare. Create a budget for necessities. Sit down and create a budget for the absolute bare minimum expenditures. Slash luxury spending. Now isn’t the time to go on a vacation, join a gym, or eat out at restaurants. Look for new streams of income. If you can, look for odd jobs, start a small business that doesn’t require an investment, or use your expertise to begin consulting in your field. Sell stuff. All that stuff you’ve been meaning to go through in the basement just might be the key to keeping a roof over your head.  Sell things online or in person, keeping in mind your personal safety. Audit your budget. Take the time to see where you can slash your spending. Can you cut your fixed or variable expenses? Take action right away to stop the bleeding of money. A few dollars may not seem like much right now but it could be a much bigger deal in the future. You may need to make drastic cuts. Make a list of your creditors. Once you have created your new emergency budget, it’s time to take a look at those to whom you owe money. Some of these will be necessary expenditures. Keeping a roof over your head, the utilities on, a car in the driveway, and remaining insured are likely the most important expenses. Other expenditures are things like unsecured debt: credit cards, student loans, and personal loans. You may have some secured debt on things with which you’re willing to part – second cars, recreational vehicles, etc. Write down all these expenses, your account numbers, your minimum monthly payments, and contact information for the creditor. Before anybody jumps in and says, “You shouldn’t have any credit card debt” or “I bought my car in cash,” remember that I’m writing about a change in circumstances here. Sure, it’s better to be debt-free, but when you have found yourself in a crunch, it’s all about surviving the rough time, not about beating yourself up for previous decisions. Additionally, many people who had never been in debt before have used credit cards to bridge the significant gap between inflation and their wages. If someone has been buying groceries with their credit card, they’ve only put off this moment of reckoning, and their family has to eat. Contact them one by one. Next comes the part that may be difficult for some – you need to contact your creditors and see if they can help. Keep in mind that many people are running into difficulty right now and these companies know it. Some places may have already authorized negotiations with debtors in expectation of the difficulty in which you currently find yourself. Contact them in order from most essential to least. The most essential creditors are the ones that keep you housed, fed, and warm. Credit cards should be last on your list in this situation. Below you’ll find some tips to help you guide the conversation. How to talk to creditors When you call your creditors, the most important thing to remember is to be polite. Your financial problems are not the fault of the person on the other end of the phone line. The company’s policies are also not the fault of the person taking your call. You will get much further by being courteous. I’ve worked in a call center before. I know that when someone spoke to me with respect, I was far more likely to work hard to find a solution for them than if they were rude or called me names. This is simply human nature. Keeping courtesy in mind, here are a few tips. Find out the representative’s name. Use it in conversation, although not to the point that it’s weird or annoying. Using a person’s name is a humanizing gesture, and it feels more like a friendly conversation than a negotiation. You also need to keep the person’s name in your notes so that if your agreement isn’t honored, you can call back and say, “When I spoke to Sally Smith, we agreed that…” Explain your situation. After the introductions and verifications are complete, inform the representative that you are experiencing difficulty paying your bills due to being laid off or having your hours cut (or whatever the reason is). Let them know you really want to make things right and continue your relationship with the company. Ask if there’s anything the company can do to help.  Many businesses are currently making contingency plans in anticipation of potential financial difficulties. See what the representative says – it may be an even lower payment than you intended to offer. If they don’t offer anything, present your own offer. Say, “I’m wondering if I might be able to skip a month on this payment while I look for work” or “Is there any way I can get this payment reduced?” Ask for a supervisor. If the representative you’re speaking with can’t help, ask politely, “I know there’s probably a limit to what you can authorize. Is there someone else that might be able to make this happen? Could I please speak to a supervisor?”  Sometimes representatives aren’t empowered to make big changes to your account, so you’ll want to speak to somebody who can. Don’t make it seem like you are going over the representative’s head, and be clear that you understand he or she would like to help but may not be able to do so. When you get to a supervisor, repeat steps 1-3. Don’t expect the supervisor to know everything that occurred in your previous conversation. Start off pleasantly with, “I spoke with Stacy and she was very kind. However, I don’t think she is in a position to be able to help me with my situation and I was hoping that you might be able to assist me.” Then start from scratch by explaining your situation, then asking if they have any policies in place that might help you. Get it in writing. Once you come to an agreement, ask the supervisor to email the changes to you right away. Tell them you want to be sure you understand everything correctly, but the real reason is that you want proof you made this arrangement. Email is the fastest way to do this. Rinse and repeat this with all of your creditors in order from most essential to least essential. By coming to an agreement, you may be able to protect your credit rating and manage your finances during a difficult time. Now add these payments to your budget. Once you’ve made all the arrangements you can make, go back to your budget and revise it with the new payment amounts. You may find that with a few contributions from your emergency fund, you’re doing okay. You may be dismayed to discover that you still can’t pay your bills. Then comes a difficult decision: on what do you default? If the money isn’t there, it isn’t there. Wishing it was there won’t make it appear out of thin air. If you’ve already sold stuff, taken on a second job, cut your spending, and spoken to your creditors, there may be a limit to what else you can do. If you have gotten to a point where you simply cannot pay all of your bills, check out this article, How to Survive When You Can’t Pay Your Bills. It’s a terrible, scary, and humbling place to be. I know because I’ve been there, too. You can get our Flat Broke bundle here for even more inspiration and help. Hopefully, speaking to your creditors will help you buy enough time to get through this crisis. I wish you the very best of luck during this difficult period. Important Note: Some bill collectors are abusive. If you run into a bill collector who uses abusive language and threats, calls you at work, or does other things to try to humiliate you into paying, you have rights.  You are protected under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and state laws. You are already under enough stress – you don’t have to tolerate abusive behavior, too. No matter what the collector says, you don’t deserve to be mistreated. Here is what you need to know about your rights in this situation. Have you been in this situation yourself? Do you have any advice for those who are struggling to make their payments? Are you having difficulty right now? Please share your thoughts in the comments section.

Virginia voters will elect a new governor Tuesday, and no matter which of the two major candidates wins, she will become the first woman to head the executive branch in Richmond. Abigail Spanberger, a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Democrat nominee, currently leads in most polling. Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican nominee, has picked up steam in the final stretch. Here are five things to know about the race. 1. Abigail Spanberger Spanberger, a former CIA agent, served in Congress from 2019 to 2025. While she presents herself as a moderate and unifier, she sided with her party on many controversial issues. Spanberger is at least partially running against President Donald Trump’s administration in Washington, D.C. She has condemned his efforts to root out waste, fraud, and abuse through the Department of Government Efficiency initiative and championed federal government workers, many of whom live in Northern Virginia. She faults Earle-Sears and current Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin for failing to oppose Trump. She claims her policies will make life more affordable in Virginia, but critics say her climate policies will increase prices. She touts police and law enforcement endorsements, but critics note that she voted to protect a Washington, D.C., law going soft on crime that even then-President Joe Biden opposed. 2. Earle-Sears Earle-Sears, a Marine, would be the first black woman governor of the Old Dominion. Born in Jamaica, she immigrated to the U.S. as a young girl. Opponents have engaged in racist attacks against her. A man shouted, “Go back to Haiti!” at Earle-Sears during a football game earlier this month. In August, a protester held a sign reading, “Hey, Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.” Earle-Sears is running to largely continue Youngkin’s policies on tax relief, economic growth, parental rights in education, and an all-of-the-above energy strategy. Democrats attacked her for reportedly failing to disclose payments from a pro-Trump PAC and from a conservative nonprofit. Critics also faulted Earle-Sears for repeatedly interrupting Spanberger during their debate earlier this month. 3. Jay Jones The race fundamentally changed in early October, when National Review’s Audrey Fahlberg exposed text messages in which Jay Jones, the Democrat candidate for attorney general, fantasized about shooting then-House of Delegates Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican. Jones not only said that, in the hypothetical situation where he had only two bullets and could shoot Adolf Hitler, Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, or Gilbert, he declared he would use both bullets on Gilbert. He later fantasized about Gilbert’s children dying in their mother’s arms, and he defended this disgusting death wish by saying, “Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” While Jones sent the texts in August 2022, the revelation came less than a month after the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. Spanberger said she was “disgusted” by the remarks. She added, “as a candidate—and as the next governor of our commonwealth—I will always condemn violent language in our politics.” Yet the Democrat, who publicly voted for Jones on Sept. 19 and campaigned with him, stopped short of calling for him to exit the race. During a debate, Spanberger repeatedly refused to answer whether she still supports Jones. ?SHOCKINGAbigail Spanberger refuses to say whether she still supports Jay Jones despite his political violence texts.Deanna Allbrittin asks repeatedly, but Spanberger does not respond.? pic.twitter.com/gVkeBXjrj2— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 9, 2025 Earle-Sears directly confronted Spanberger about it, and the Democrat responded by accusing her Republican opponent of not condemning political violence on the Right. ?'WE'RE TALKING ABOUT M*RDER'Winsome Earle-Sears asks Abigail Spanberger point-blank: "I don’t understand why you just can’t come forward and say he needs to go."Spanberger claims Earle-Sears has not condemned political violence on her side. pic.twitter.com/9KVTvaLwvu— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 9, 2025 4. Transgender Issues Earle-Sears has endorsed Youngkin’s position that boys and men should not be able to access girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms, and that boys should not be allowed to compete in girls sports. Spanberger, on the other hand, has suggested that parents, administrators, and school districts should make decisions whether to allow boys access to girls’ spaces and sports on an individual basis. This position arguably does not match Spanberger’s record in Congress, however. She sponsored and repeatedly voted for HR 5, the Equality Act, which would have mandated that schools allow boys in girls’ bathrooms and on girls sports teams, in the name of fighting discrimination. Spanberger repeatedly refused to answer questions about transgender policy during the debate. ?SPANBERGER DODGESTom Schaad directly asks Abigail Spanberger if she would reverse Glenn Youngkin's policy keeping boys out of girls' restrooms. She refuses to answer, when asked repeatedly.? pic.twitter.com/rAPzGa4hYO— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 9, 2025 These questions gained new relevance in the Old Dominion this year. Richard Cox, a man who claims to identify as a woman, has been convicted of sex crimes involving children and currently faces charges of exposing himself to women and girls in locker rooms. Meanwhile, Loudoun County Public Schools brought a Title IX case against teenage boys when they complained about a girl’s presence in their locker room. This took place at the very same school where a male student sexually assaulted girls in a girls’ bathroom in 2021. 5. A Last-Minute Special Session On Monday, the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate met for a special session. House Speaker Don Scott, a Democrat, called the session in order to pursue a constitutional amendment on redistricting. Scott called the special session one day after the House Democratic Caucus received a hefty donation from the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a nonprofit founded by Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder. The committee also sent $150,000 to Spanberger’s campaign. Earle-Sears, as lieutenant governor, left the campaign trail to preside over the Senate. Former Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, however, told The Daily Signal that this move may help Republicans in the election. Virginians voted, 66% to 34%, to amend the constitution in 2020 to establish a bipartisan redistricting commission. While Democrats are capitalizing on Trump calling for Republicans to use redistricting to gain an edge in the midterm elections, Virginians may not be willing to reverse course so quickly. Neither the Spanberger campaign nor the Earle-Sears campaign responded to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by publication time.

BREAKING: FBI Breaks Up (Another) Terror Plot in Michigan; UPDATE: Dearborn?

We're all just pagans in fancy dress.

As political scandals go, Arctic Frost makes Watergate look like relative child’s play. During the Biden Administration, the FBI may have investigated Republican elected officials and conservative organizations -- doing so, in many cases, with invasive and secret subpoenas. The breadth and scope of this scandal is staggering. And yet, the legacy broadcast news continues to suppress this story, just as they’ve done with every other story that is a threat to the prospects of Democrats seizing or holding power. Per The New York Post: More than 160 Republicans, including current Trump administration officials, may have been investigated by the FBI under former President Joe Biden, as part of the bureau’s sweeping Arctic Frost probe, documents show. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, US Pardon Attorney Ed Martin and White House trade adviser Peter Navarro are among the prominent GOP figures named in FBI files released by the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, detailing the massive scope of the Biden-era Justice Department’s investigation into allegations of 2020 election interference. … Former Attorney General Merrick Garland, ex-Assistant Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and former FBI Director Christopher Wray all signed off on the investigation into conservative groups and Trump allies in April of 2022, a memo released last week by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) showed. Our own Curtis Houck noted earlier today that the legacy media newscasts and morning shows had until this point suppressed the story. Since then, several new details have broken. Today it was revealed that the list of known Arctic Frost targets continues to expand. Florida Senator Rick Scott has revealed that he was also targeted by Jack Smith et al. I was just informed by Senator Ron Johnson that I was targeted in the Arctic Frost witch hunt by Biden’s DOJ. Let’s be very clear: this was a targeted attack to dismantle the Republican Party, destroy me and other elected members of Congress, and take down President Trump. This… — Rick Scott (@SenRickScott) October 30, 2025 There's also NewsMax's own Ed Henry, disclosing a Jack Smith secret subpoena ordering Apple to release sensitive information such as his social security number and finances, related to the J6 Prison Choir: ⁦@mrddmia⁩ here is Jack Smith ordering @apple to provide my financial information, SSN etc in connection with song royalties under seal, secrecy approved by Judge Boasberg ⁦@MZHemingway⁩ pic.twitter.com/pSur3ybCES — Ed Henry (@edhenry) October 30, 2025 And yet there was nothing about any of this on any of the national network newscasts. Nothing on ABC, CBS, NBC. We checked and found nothing on Univision or Telemundo, either. And this is quite clearly by design.  [Editor's Note: There was no Arctic Frost reporting on Friday's morning shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC.] A quick review of last week’s evening news finds that the consensus top story was the construction of the White House ballroom. Today’s top stories were a combination of the weather event hitting the East Coast (with lots of b-roll of flooded New York City subways), Prince Andrew getting stripped of his royal status, and SNAP benefits potentially expiring due to the ongoing government shutdown. And yet, there was absolutely nothing on a weaponization of government so grotesquely over-the-top that it seems typical of a work of fiction. The same media that decry “retribution” when those who weaponized government face justice now shamefully hold their tongues as we collectively discover that the retribution was here all along, and executed by the Biden administration. As we always say: if it weren’t for double standards, there’d be none at all.   

Congressional hearings are a great opportunity for Republicans to expose the Left with tough questions. In a March hearing with the CEOs of PBS and NPR, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) demonstrated how to drag them into answers they don't want to give. He joins the Podcast alongside MRC Vice President for Free Speech Dan Schneider to discuss "public" media and the other occasions of liberal tilt. Gill made a point of how NPR CEO Katherine Maher backed financial reparations for blacks during the BLM craze in 2020. She tried to deny to Gill what she obviously tweeted then, years before she took over NPR. Clearly, the tweets encouraged NPR's leftist core when they were looking for a new leader. After that hearing, President Trump and the Republicans succeeded in rescinding funding for PBS and NPR, but we remain vigilant about any back-sliding. Their ridiculous campaign for cash continues. When Maher appeared on Stephen Colbert's late-night leftist hootenanny on September 5, the YouTube video carried the propaganda headline “Public Media Enables Americans To Trust One Another And Make Decisions Together.” That's shameless. "Public" media refuses to let conservatives express themselves on their platforms and tells everyone to distrust them as fascist evildoers. We recently found that in the two months after the defunding, NPR's guest count on its evening newscast All Things Considered was 53 left-wing guests to only three conservatives. PBS NewsHour was slightly better at 98 to 21. Every study we've conducted looking for conservative appearances comes up dramatically short. On some issues -- like transgenderism -- conservatives cannot be found. PBS News Hour recently celebrated its 50th anniversary by lying about how their program has sought to bring "depth, insight and fairness." They will try to deceive the public so they can resume the cash flow from taxpayers. Congressman Gill also discussed the leftist tilt from Big Tech, especially our Free Speech team's recent focus on Google searches and Wikipedia. The Congressman agreed about the tech tilt: "This stuff has serious consequences, these are powerful platforms." Gill's brief biography on Wikipedia has been updated this year with information intended to scandalize liberals, like he favors a bill to put Trump's face on the $100 bill after his second term ends, and he mocked New York socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for eating with his hands.

POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)     NOMINEES:    1. Weijia Jiang: Can Trump Tear Down Anything He Wants? Like the Jefferson Memorial? “Can the President tear down anything he wants, without oversight? Could he demolish this building or say the Jefferson Memorial?”— CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, October 23.    2. Bradley Whitford: East Wing Demolition Is a Distraction from Trump Being Friends with Epstein “We have a President who is a corrupt authoritarian, in my view, who has a kind of contempt for democratic values and its symbols. And I think he thinks he has the right to destroy the people’s house, do some influence peddling along the way, build a ballroom as a monument to distract us from the fact that inflation is up, job creation is down, Congress has shut down the government, and we’re suppressing information about the fact that, you know, he was best friends with the most notorious child rapist [Jeffrey Epstein] in history.”— Actor Bradley Whitford on CNN’s Inside Politics with Dana Bash, October 24.   3. Sunny Hostin: Donald Trump Is Never Going to Leave the White House “I actually have come to the conclusion that he [Donald Trump] is most definitely going to try to remain in power, because remember, that East Wing – it’s going to take a long time to build that. He is hooking up the White House because he doesn’t plan on leaving it. I don’t think he plans on leaving.”— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, October 27.     Funded by James P. Jimirro

The Big Tech boom around artificial intelligence shows no signs of stopping as several companies continue to climb in value. And Nvidia is leading the charge. AI chipmaker Nvidia became the first company to reach a $5 trillion market valuation this week, just three months after it climbed over the $4 trillion threshold, the New York Post reported.'The market continues to underestimate the scale of the opportunity, and Nvidia remains one of the best ways to play the AI theme.'Nvidia, now in the $5 trillion club by itself, has seen outstanding growth in the last three years since the start of the AI boom. In June 2024, Nvidia reached $3 trillion; in July 2025, it reached $4 trillion. RELATED: Everything’s bigger in Texas — especially Nvidia’s new $500 billion AI factories Photographer: Kent Nishimura/Bloomberg via Getty Images"Nvidia hitting a $5 trillion market cap is more than a milestone; it's a statement, as Nvidia has gone from chip maker to industry creator," Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, told the New York Post. "The market continues to underestimate the scale of the opportunity, and Nvidia remains one of the best ways to play the AI theme," Britzman continued. Some estimates pin Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's stake in the company at roughly $179.2 billion, making him the world's eighth-richest man. This week, Apple topped $4 trillion, joining Microsoft and Nvidia above that mark, according to CNN. This rapid growth in the tech industry, however, has sparked concerns that this could be a bubble waiting to burst. In an August interview with The Verge, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, "When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth.""If you look at most of the bubbles in history, like the tech bubble, there was a real thing. Tech was really important. The internet was a really big deal. People got overexcited," Altman said. Return reached out to Nvidia for comment but did not receive a response.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. first highlighted the new revelation based on studies that there are potential links to autism when pregnant women take Tylenol.Now the state of Texas is suing the makers of Tylenol, claiming that they hid these links to autism and that it was deceptively marketed to women.“These are kids that are permanently altered,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”“This is the type of thing, whether it’s transitioning kids or going after the vaccine, that harms people, that these companies know about, and they don’t tell us. They make hundreds of millions, billions of dollars off these products, and they don’t disclose they’re harmful,” Paxton explains.“So that’s part of my job, is to protect consumers from companies that are doing bad things and that’s what we’re doing here,” he adds.Gonzales points out that it was “interesting watching the backlash.”“It was very alarming for me to see after RFK Jr. announced this, you had these TikTok videos of these pregnant women who just to spite RFK were like, ‘I’m going to take a bunch of Tylenol on video and, you know, knock it back with some water. Haha, screw you.’ And I’m like, what are we doing? How have we been reduced to this?” she says.“It seems like anytime you give them a scientific study and say, ‘Hey, this company was fraudulently misrepresenting a COVID vaccine, Tylenol,’ whatever it is, they can’t handle it. Like, it doesn’t compute for them,” she adds.“Well, and the fact that you’d be willing to ignore the science and maybe take the risk that, ‘Oh, I hope it’s not right, and I might damage my kid permanently,’” Paxton chimes in.“I mean, why would you do that?” he asks.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
