Think and Act Locally

The Think and Act Locally newsletter serves as a community-focused guide for the Deer Park, La Porte, and Pasadena areas at the start of 2026. The primary mission is to encourage civic engagement, specifically urging residents to attend city council meetings to influence local decisions like the potential consolidation of La Porte and Shoreacres. Beyond politics, the source highlights economic growth, noting new business openings and chamber of commerce awards that foster regional prosperity. Educational achievements are celebrated through AP Scholar recognitions and updates on grants awarded to local colleges. The publication also functions as a community resource, providing a calendar of social events, restaurant spotlights, and various volunteer opportunities. Ultimately, the text promotes a philosophy of individual empowerment, suggesting that small, consistent actions in one’s own neighborhood lead to meaningful change. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This text is a transcript of a Pasadena City Council meeting held on November 18, 2025, which opens with an invocation, the pledges, and Council Member reports on community initiatives like food drives and minor infrastructure completion. The proceedings include debate and votes on various ordinances and resolutions concerning contracts, budget, and amendments, with some disagreement over issues like cost of living increases and funding cuts. A significant portion of the meeting is dedicated to public comment, where citizens express gratitude but also strongly criticize the mayor and police department over alleged corruption, abuse of power, and specific, sensitive issues like past murders and police conduct. The meeting also features a detailed presentation by State Senator Carol Alvarado providing a legislative update on recently passed Texas bills regarding the state budget, criminal justice, public education, and property tax relief. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The provided sources include the agenda for a City Council meeting, the agenda for a City Council workshop, and an audio transcript of the subsequent City Council meeting for the City of Deer Park on November 18, 2025. The agendas outline several important items, including routine approvals like meeting minutes and financial reports, along with new business items such as approving multi-year agreements for IT security and HR software, various purchases of vehicles and equipment for city departments, and multiple budget amendments. A significant point of contention during the recorded meeting was the vote on an ordinance related to processing fees for credit card and electronic check transactions, which ultimately failed, leading to discussion about the implication for the city’s ability to charge these fees. The workshop agenda specifically notes presentations and discussions on financial reports and the renewal of Sports Organization Utilization Agreements, which were later approved in the main meeting. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The provided text, a transcript from a YouTube video, explores the relevance of Austrian economics to contemporary political movements like MAGA. The speaker contrasts the economics-focused Ron Paul movement with MAGA’s lesser emphasis on economic theory, noting a growing dismissal of economics among certain right-wing influencers. The transcript defends economics against common criticisms, such as the alleged obsession with GDP or the disregard for cultural issues, by explaining how economic principles, particularly those of Austrian economics, offer solutions to problems like unemployment, inflation, and unaffordable housing, which are often cited as cultural or societal concerns. Ultimately, the author argues that understanding sound economic principles is crucial for addressing the very issues these movements claim to prioritize, despite their current skepticism towards the field. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81166652648 https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The provided texts discuss parental concerns regarding the adequacy of traditional schooling in preparing children for “real-world” challenges. A survey of over 1,000 families reveals that a low percentage of parents feel confident in schools’ ability to teach essential life skills like financial literacy, critical thinking, and job readiness. Consequently, a significant number of parents are proactively supplementing their children’s education with outside resources, often motivated by perceived political or ideological biases in school curricula. The sources highlight the Tuttle Twins books and related materials as a solution, offering tools that foster real-world knowledge, strong values, and independent thinking in areas such as economics and personal responsibility, thereby empowering parents to shape their children’s worldview. https://tuttletwins.com/?ref=ThinkandActLocally https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The “NEW YOUTUBE SOURCE” presents an interview with Christina Dent, founder of the non-profit organization End It for Good and author of the book “Curious.” Dent, who grew up in a conservative Christian family and previously supported a criminal justice approach to drugs, shares her personal journey and change of perspective after becoming a foster parent and witnessing the negative impact of drug prohibition on children and families. She advocates for drug legalization and decriminalization, arguing that current policies lead to unintended consequences like increased crime, violence, and harm to individuals and communities, rather than addressing the root causes of addiction. The discussion highlights the importance of distinguishing between legality and morality, and rethinking drug policy through a lens of harm reduction and public health, rather than solely punishment. https://www.bobmurphyshow.com/episodes/ep-426-why-a-married-conservative-christian-changed-her-mind-on-the-drug-war/ https://enditforgood.com/freebook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V263dVJZlqs https://enditforgood.com/ https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The source consists of a podcast episode from “Wealth Without Wall Street” featuring a roundtable discussion among four financial experts: Russ Morgan, Mark Podolski, Joey Mure, and Sharran Srivatsaa. Each expert presents a unique strategy for generating $100,000 in six months with an initial investment of $5,000 or less and dedicating ten hours or less per week. The proposed methods include leveraging the Augusta Rule with a high-value property for tax-free income, flipping raw land through a systematic approach, private lending utilizing funds from “infinite banking” life insurance policies, and building an “industry media company” to create a long-term asset and generate affiliate income. The overarching theme emphasizes financial independence and building sustainable wealth outside traditional Wall Street investments. https://go.wealthwithoutwallstreet.com/financialfreedomanalyzer https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The provided text is an audio transcript from a presentation by Mikkel Thorup of Expat Money, introduced by Tom Woods. Thorup, an expert in international living, discusses the concept of a “Plan B” – an economic backup plan for individuals and families to secure their freedom, assets, and lifestyle in an increasingly unstable world. He outlines a “Four Plus One” framework, detailing strategies for gaining immigration options (permanent residency, citizenship, second passports), making international investments (offshore accounts, real estate), implementing wealth protection structures (trusts, foundations), and employing legal tax mitigation strategies. The “plus one” focuses on lifestyle considerations when choosing a new country, emphasizing factors like cost of living, healthcare, safety, and cultural values. Thorup stresses the importance of working with qualified professionals to navigate these complex international legal and financial landscapes. https://tomwoods.lpages.co/mikkel-thorup-expat-presentation/ https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This document, “TRADING APPLICATIONS OF JAPANESE CANDLESTICK CHARTING” by Gary S. Wagner and Bradley L. Matheny, offers a comprehensive guide to Japanese candlestick charting, a technical analysis method for financial markets. The authors explain the historical origins of candlesticks in 17th-century Japanese rice trading and their evolution into a modern tool for analyzing equities and commodities. The book integrates Eastern candlestick techniques with Western technical indicators like Fibonacci retracement theory, Elliot Wave, and moving averages, emphasizing the importance of combining these approaches for a more complete market view. Furthermore, it explores the application of computerized pattern recognition and neural networks to enhance the efficacy of candlestick analysis, providing detailed examples across various markets like grains, energies, and currencies. Ultimately, the text advocates for a “Synergistic Technical Analysis” that leverages both Eastern and Western methodologies with advanced computing for improved trading decisions. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The provided sources consist of an email from Rep. Brian Babin to a constituent, David, dated July 20, 2025, discussing the recent passage of a rescissions package. This package aims to eliminate over $9 billion in federal spending, targeting what House Republicans deem “wasteful programs,” some of which were identified by President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency. The email highlights specific cuts, including funding for “woke” projects like drag shows for kids and certain media subsidies, as well as foreign aid to organizations like the World Health Organization and various international programs.

This analysis forecasts a significant economic downturn in China, largely attributed to a collapsing real estate sector and the government’s resistance to essential reforms, which creates systemic financial instability. As a result, global capital is expected to flee China in search of safer havens, with the United States dollar and U.S. Treasury bonds positioned as the primary beneficiaries due to their perceived stability and liquidity. This capital flight is anticipated to strengthen the dollar and increase demand for Treasuries, while also exporting deflationary pressures from China to the U.S., potentially impacting American corporate earnings and overall economic growth. The article advises investors to prioritize capital preservation over growth in this shifting global economic landscape. https://realinvestmentadvice.com/resources/blog/chinas-economic-demise-and-its-impact-on-the-u-s/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Macroview%20Chinas%20Economic%20Demise%20And%20Its%20Impact%20On%20The%20US&utm_content=Macroview%20Chinas%20Economic%20Demise%20And%20Its%20Impact%20On%20The%20US+CID_dfcd4ccbe243137e6cf13b5fc63d613a&utm_source=RIA%20Email%20Marketing%20Software&utm_term=READ%20MORE https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The provided sources, including excerpts from DrownedBaby.org and an interview with Will Bum on the Tom Woods Show, center on a critique of conventional hospital practices in treating severe brain injuries, particularly those resulting from non-fatal drowning. They highlight the personal experience of Robert’s family, whose son was allegedly “staged for organ harvesting” and denied early access to Hyperbaric Therapy (HBOT) by hospital staff, who the family claims viewed the treatment as “off-label” and unpatentable. The sources advocate for alternative, aggressive interventions like HBOT, specific nutritional protocols, and anti-inflammatory supplements, emphasizing the crucial role of reducing inflammation for brain healing and the potential harm of commonly prescribed hospital drugs that merely mask symptoms. Ultimately, they serve as a resource for parents seeking alternative approaches, offering practical advice and championing parental advocacy in a medical system perceived as rigid and profit-driven. https://drownedbaby.org/ https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The article investigates the correlation between Friday the 13th and increased car accidents. Multiple studies with conflicting results are examined, some showing increased accident rates on Friday the 13th, while others find no significant difference or even a decrease. Cultural and psychological factors, such as friggatriskaidekaphobia, are explored as potential contributors to any observed increases. Insurance company data also provides mixed results, further highlighting the inconclusive nature of the relationship. Ultimately, the article concludes that while the superstition is widespread, more research is needed to definitively determine the connection between Friday the 13th and traffic accidents. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This collection of texts argues for the enduring sovereignty of individual states within the United States, presenting historical evidence from the nation’s founding through the mid-20th century. It contends that the states, not the people as a unified mass, were the parties to the constitutional compact, delegating specific sovereign powers to the federal government while retaining ultimate sovereignty. The author asserts that the states possess the right and duty to interpose and resist federal actions deemed unconstitutional or dangerous encroachments on their retained powers, highlighting instances such as the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, New England’s resistance to embargoes and militia calls, and Southern opposition to Reconstruction-era policies and court rulings. The work critiques the expansion of federal authority, particularly through judicial interpretation and the Commerce Clause, and emphasizes the Tenth Amendment and the amendment process as crucial safeguards of state autonomy. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

These recordings feature an individual named Eric Sanchez sharing concerns about the justice system’s integrity. Sanchez discusses how a friend, Richard Wayne Collings, was allegedly wrongfully convicted in a 1978 murder based on a fraudulent indictment and a coerced plea deal, despite allegedly aiding authorities in identifying the true killer. Sanchez also details other instances of perceived misconduct, including a case where a convicted sex offender received a lenient sentence for testimony against another individual named McNat, who Sanchez believes was entrapped by police. Finally, Sanchez raises questions about the custodial death of Dang Stevens, suggesting the official suicide ruling is questionable based on autopsy findings and alleged efforts to conceal the truth. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This YouTube webinar transcript captures a discussion about innovative urban development and zoning policies, specifically highlighting the successful transformation of downtown New Rochelle, New York. Experts, including a researcher, a developer involved in New Rochelle’s changes, and the city’s mayor, analyze the shortcomings of traditional targeted incentives for development and the obstacles developers often face. They explain New Rochelle’s strategic shift towards a comprehensive approach involving form-based zoning, a pre-approved environmental review, and community benefit bonuses, facilitated by a partnership with a master developer.
