The Classy Investors is dedicated to providing readers like you with unique opportunities. The message below from one of our business associates is one we believe you should take a serious look at. Dеаr Rеаdеr, Sее thе buÑÐdÑng аt thе bоttоm оf thÑs еmаÑÐ? Thank you, DJ. Wow. Your determination and your heart inspire us all. And thank you to my friend, and your incredible leader, Martha Kanter. Just two days ago, alongside the Secretaries of Commerce, Labor, and Education, I visited a high school in a suburb of Chicago. We were there to talk about how the entire Biden Administration is coming together to invest in career-connected learningâprograms that bridge the gap between what students learn and the jobs they will eventually find. At Rolling Meadows High School, students showed us the amazing projects they are creating in their manufacturing and engineering classesâfrom robots that fight in cage matches to a high-mileage, energy efficient car. They were preparing for futures I could have never imagined when I was their ageâwith free college courses through their local community college. I could see how excited the students were about learning. And the best part was that they all had a clear pathway to a good career. Education has always been about jobs. You know that. Youâve seen the ripple effect that begins when one student falls in love with computers, because a high school gives her the chance to explore new fields; when she can go to a community college tuition free and learn skills that allow her to pursue her dream; when sheâs connected with the local businesses that need her talents and sheâs able to find work that gives her purpose and a paycheck. And the ripple keeps going. Families with more income invest in local schools and shops. Companies can grow their operations. Towns and cities become better places to live. We all benefit. Thatâs why every student deserves the opportunity to go to community college and build a great career. College Promise was founded on that simple but transformative idea. When I was Second Lady, as the Honorary Chair of the College Promise National Advisory Board, we launched College Promise programs across the country. And since then, my husband, Joe, and I have been dedicated to this mission. He understands that a pipelineâfrom high school to affordable community colleges to great jobsâis the future of our workforce. This Administration has made historic investments in clean energy, manufacturing, and infrastructureâand now we need skilled people to fill those roles. When we bring the full power of the Biden-Harris administration together with non-profits, schools, employers, community colleges, and families, we can give students the opportunities they deserveâand strengthen our economy along the way. Thatâs what College Promise is all about. And the results are incredible. When we started there were just 50 College Promise programs. Today, there are nearly 400! Youâve changed the lives of millions of students. And Joe and I will never stop working to ensure that all Americans can access community colleges and the career pathways they deserve. I have so much hope for what we can get done. Because this isnât a red or blue issue. Itâs an American issue. College Promise has worked with leaders from both sides of the aisle and across the country. Weâve seen successful programs in Republican states and Democratic cities and everything in between. This is one area where we can make real, bipartisan progress. Ðt dоеsnât Ðооk ÐÑkе muÑh. But Ö4 trÑÐÐÑоn mоvеs thrоugh thÑs buÑÐdÑng еvеrÑ sÑngÐе dаÑ.

We condemn in the strongest possible terms the November 15 attack against a commercial tanker, the MV Pacific Zircon, that was transiting in international waters off the coast of Oman. Upon review of the available information, we are confident that Iran likely conducted this attack using a UAV, a lethal capability it is increasingly employing directly and via its proxies throughout the Middle East and proliferating to Russia for use in Ukraine. There is no justification for this attack, which is the latest in a pattern of such actions and broader destabilizing activities. This action further threatens freedom of navigation through this crucial waterway, international shipping and commerce, and the lives of those on the vessels involved. As President Biden emphasized during his visit to the Middle East region, the United States is committed to supporting the free flow of commerce through its vital waterways. The British Royal Navy was the first to respond, and we express appreciation for the multilateral coordination led by the UK. We will work with partners and allies, including as part of the International Maritime Security Construct, to hold Iran accountable and respond through appropriate means.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837, seeking to act as the direct representative of the common man. More nearly than any of his predecessors, Andrew Jackson was elected by popular vote; as President he sought to act as the direct representative of the common man. Born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas in 1767, he received sporadic education. But in his late teens he read law for about two years, and he became an outstanding young lawyer in Tennessee. Fiercely jealous of his honor, he engaged in brawls, and in a duel killed a man who cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel. Jackson prospered sufficiently to buy slaves and to build a mansion, the Hermitage, near Nashville. He was the first man elected from Tennessee to the House of Representatives, and he served briefly in the Senate. A major general in the War of 1812, Jackson became a national hero when he defeated the British at New Orleans. In 1824 some state political factions rallied around Jackson; by 1828 enough had joined âOld Hickoryâ to win numerous state elections and control of the Federal administration in Washington. In his first Annual Message to Congress, Jackson recommended eliminating the Electoral College. He also tried to democratize Federal officeholding. Already state machines were being built on patronage, and a New York Senator openly proclaimed âthat to the victors belong the spoils. . . . â Jackson took a milder view. Decrying officeholders who seemed to enjoy life tenure, he believed Government duties could be âso plain and simpleâ that offices should rotate among deserving applicants. As national politics polarized around Jackson and his opposition, two parties grew out of the old Republican Partyâthe Democratic Republicans, or Democrats, adhering to Jackson; and the National Republicans, or Whigs, opposing him. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and other Whig leaders proclaimed themselves defenders of popular liberties against the usurpation of Jackson. Hostile cartoonists portrayed him as King Andrew I. Behind their accusations lay the fact that Jackson, unlike previous Presidents, did not defer to Congress in policy-making but used his power of the veto and his party leadership to assume command. The greatest party battle centered around the Second Bank of the United States, a private corporation but virtually a Government-sponsored monopoly. When Jackson appeared hostile toward it, the Bank threw its power against him. Clay and Webster, who had acted as attorneys for the Bank, led the fight for its recharter in Congress. âThe bank,â Jackson told Martin Van Buren, âis trying to kill me, but I will kill it!â Jackson, in vetoing the recharter bill, charged the Bank with undue economic privilege. His views won approval from the American electorate; in 1832 he polled more than 56 percent of the popular vote and almost five times as many electoral votes as Clay. Jackson met head-on the challenge of John C. Calhoun, leader of forces trying to rid themselves of a high protective tariff. When South Carolina undertook to nullify the tariff, Jackson ordered armed forces to Charleston and privately threatened to hang Calhoun. Violence seemed imminent until Clay negotiated a compromise: tariffs were lowered and South Carolina dropped nullification. In January of 1832, while the President was dining with friends at the White House, someone whispered to him that the Senate had rejected the nomination of Martin Van Buren as Minister to England. Jackson jumped to his feet and exclaimed, âBy the Eternal! Iâll smash them!â So he did. His favorite, Van Buren, became Vice President, and succeeded to the Presidency when âOld Hickoryâ retired to the Hermitage, where he died in June 1845. [Button]( William Henry Harrison, an American military officer and politician, was the ninth President of the United States (1841), the oldest President to be elected at the time. On his 32nd day, he became the first to die in office, serving the shortest tenure in U.S. Presidential history. âGive him a barrel of hard cider and settle a pension of two thousand a year on him, and my word for it,â a Democratic newspaper foolishly gibed, âhe will sit ⦠by the side of a âsea coalâ fire, and study moral philosophy. â The Whigs, seizing on this political misstep, in 1840 presented their candidate William Henry Harrison as a simple frontier Indian fighter, living in a log cabin and drinking cider, in sharp contrast to an aristocratic champagne-sipping Van Buren. Harrison was in fact a scion of the Virginia planter aristocracy. He was born at Berkeley in 1773. He studied classics and history at Hampden-Sydney College, then began the study of medicine in Richmond. Suddenly, that same year, 1791, Harrison switched interests. He obtained a commission as ensign in the First Infantry of the Regular Army, and headed to the Northwest, where he spent much of his life. In the campaign against the Indians, Harrison served as aide-de-camp to General âMad Anthonyâ Wayne at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, which opened most of the Ohio area to settlement. After resigning from the Army in 1798, he became Secretary of the Northwest Territory, was its first delegate to Congress, and helped obtain legislation dividing the Territory into the Northwest and Indiana Territories. In 1801 he became Governor of the Indiana Territory, serving 12 years. His prime task as governor was to obtain title to Indian lands so settlers could press forward into the wilderness. When the Indians retaliated, Harrison was responsible for defending the settlements. The threat against settlers became serious in 1809. An eloquent and energetic chieftain, Tecumseh, with his religious brother, the Prophet, began to strengthen an Indian confederation to prevent further encroachment. In 1811 Harrison received permission to attack the confederacy. While Tecumseh was away seeking more allies, Harrison led about a thousand men toward the Prophetâs town. Suddenly, before dawn on November 7, the Indians attacked his camp on Tippecanoe River. After heavy fighting, Harrison repulsed them, but suffered 190 dead and wounded. The Battle of Tippecanoe, upon which Harrisonâs fame was to rest, disrupted Tecumsehâs confederacy but failed to diminish Indian raids. By the spring of 1812, they were again terrorizing the frontier. In the War of 1812 Harrison won more military laurels when he was given the command of the Army in the Northwest with the rank of brigadier general. At the Battle of the Thames, north of Lake Erie, on October 5, 1813, he defeated the combined British and Indian forces, and killed Tecumseh. The Indians scattered, never again to offer serious resistance in what was then called the Northwest. Thereafter Harrison returned to civilian life; the Whigs, in need of a national hero, nominated him for President in 1840. He won by a majority of less than 150,000, but swept the Electoral College, 234 to 60. When he arrived in Washington in February 1841, Harrison let Daniel Webster edit his Inaugural Address, ornate with classical allusions. Webster obtained some deletions, boasting in a jolly fashion that he had killed âseventeen Roman proconsuls as dead as smelts, every one of them.â Webster had reason to be pleased, for while Harrison was nationalistic in his outlook, he emphasized in his Inaugural that he would be obedient to the will of the people as expressed through Congress. But before he had been in office a month, he caught a cold that developed into pneumonia. On April 4, 1841, he died â the first President to die in office â and with him died the Whig program. [Image]( The first Democrat elected after the Civil War in 1885, our 22nd and 24th President Grover Cleveland was the only President to leave the White House and return for a second term four years later (1885-1889 and 1893-1897). The First Democrat elected after the Civil War, Grover Cleveland was the only President to leave the White House and return for a second term four years later. One of nine children of a Presbyterian minister, Cleveland was born in New Jersey in 1837. He was raised in upstate New York. As a lawyer in Buffalo, he became notable for his single-minded concentration upon whatever task faced him. At 44, he emerged into a political prominence that carried him to the White House in three years. Running as a reformer, he was elected Mayor of Buffalo in 1881, and later, Governor of New York. Cleveland won the Presidency with the combined support of Democrats and reform Republicans, the âMugwumps,â who disliked the record of his opponent James G. Blaine of Maine. A bachelor, Cleveland was ill at ease at first with all the comforts of the White House. âI must go to dinner,â he wrote a friend, âbut I wish it was to eat a pickled herring a Swiss cheese and a chop at Louisâ instead of the French stuff I shall find.â In June 1886 Cleveland married 21-year-old Frances Folsom; he was the only President married in the White House. Cleveland vigorously pursued a policy barring special favors to any economic group. Vetoing a bill to appropriate $10,000 to distribute seed grain among drought-stricken farmers in Texas, he wrote: âFederal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character. . . . â He also vetoed many private pension bills to Civil War veterans whose claims were fraudulent. When Congress, pressured by the Grand Army of the Republic, passed a bill granting pensions for disabilities not caused by military service, Cleveland vetoed it, too. He angered the railroads by ordering an investigation of western lands they held by Government grant. He forced them to return 81,000,000 acres. He also signed the Interstate Commerce Act, the first law attempting Federal regulation of the railroads. In December 1887 he called on Congress to reduce high protective tariffs. Told that he had given Republicans an effective issue for the campaign of 1888, he retorted, âWhat is the use of being elected or re-elected unless you stand for something?â But Cleveland was defeated in 1888; although he won a larger popular majority than the Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison, he received fewer electoral votes. Elected again in 1892, Cleveland faced an acute depression. He dealt directly with the Treasury crisis rather than with business failures, farm mortgage foreclosures, and unemployment. He obtained repeal of the mildly inflationary Sherman Silver Purchase Act and, with the aid of Wall Street, maintained the Treasuryâs gold reserve. When railroad strikers in Chicago violated an injunction, Cleveland sent Federal troops to enforce it. âIf it takes the entire army and navy of the United States to deliver a post card in Chicago,â he thundered, âthat card will be delivered.â Clevelandâs blunt treatment of the railroad strikers stirred the pride of many Americans. So did the vigorous way in which he forced Great Britain to accept arbitration of a disputed boundary in Venezuela. But his policies during the depression were generally unpopular. His party deserted him and nominated William Jennings Bryan in 1896. After leaving the White House, Cleveland lived in retirement in Princeton, New Jersey. He died in 1908. ÐÐÐ thе bеst, Frances РоÑÑ

As Americaâs 30th President (1923-1929), Calvin Coolidge demonstrated his determination to preserve the old moral and economic precepts of frugality amid the material prosperity which many Americans were enjoying during the 1920s era. At 2:30 on the morning of August 3, 1923, while visiting in Vermont, Calvin Coolidge received word that he was President. By the light of a kerosene lamp, his father, who was a notary public, administered the oath of office as Coolidge placed his hand on the family Bible. Coolidge was âdistinguished for character more than for heroic achievement,â wrote a Democratic admirer, Alfred E. Smith. âHis great task was to restore the dignity and prestige of the Presidency when it had reached the lowest ebb in our history ⦠in a time of extravagance and wasteâ¦.â Born in Plymouth, Vermont, on July 4, 1872, Coolidge was the son of a village storekeeper. He was graduated from Amherst College with honors, and entered law and politics in Northampton, Massachusetts. Slowly, methodically, he went up the political ladder from councilman in Northampton to Governor of Massachusetts, as a Republican. En route he became thoroughly conservative. As President, Coolidge demonstrated his determination to preserve the old moral and economic precepts amid the material prosperity which many Americans were enjoying. He refused to use Federal economic power to check the growing boom or to ameliorate the depressed condition of agriculture and certain industries. His first message to Congress in December 1923 called for isolation in foreign policy, and for tax cuts, economy, and limited aid to farmers. He rapidly became popular. In 1924, as the beneficiary of what was becoming known as âCoolidge prosperity,â he polled more than 54 percent of the popular vote. In his Inaugural he asserted that the country had achieved âa state of contentment seldom before seen,â and pledged himself to maintain the status quo. In subsequent years he twice vetoed farm relief bills, and killed a plan to produce cheap Federal electric power on the Tennessee River. The political genius of President Coolidge, Walter Lippmann pointed out in 1926, was his talent for effectively doing nothing: âThis active inactivity suits the mood and certain of the needs of the country admirably. It suits all the business interests which want to be let aloneâ¦. And it suits all those who have become convinced that government in this country has become dangerously complicated and top-heavyâ¦.â Coolidge was both the most negative and remote of Presidents, and the most accessible. He once explained to Bernard Baruch why he often sat silently through interviews: âWell, Baruch, many times I say only âyesâ or ânoâ to people. Even that is too much. It winds them up for twenty minutes more.â But no President was kinder in permitting himself to be photographed in Indian war bonnets or cowboy dress, and in greeting a variety of delegations to the White House. Both his dry Yankee wit and his frugality with words became legendary. His wife, Grace Goodhue Coolidge, recounted that a young woman sitting next to Coolidge at a dinner party confided to him she had bet she could get at least three words of conversation from him. Without looking at her he quietly retorted, âYou lose.â And in 1928, while vacationing in the Black Hills of South Dakota, he issued the most famous of his laconic statements, âI do not choose to run for President in 1928.â By the time the disaster of the Great Depression hit the country, Coolidge was in retirement. Before his death in January 1933, he confided to an old friend, â. . . I feel I no longer fit in with these times.â
