Tax Law

A centerpiece of Trump's " big beautiful bill" is adjustment of the tax code. It gives money back to Americans but at the cost of the national debt. The question is how long it can it last if trillions more are added to what the nation owes. Once again, only time will tell.

Protest

Who Cares?

Elon Musk has come out with another savage critique of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." Who cares what he thinks after his flash-in-the-pan performance a few months ago?

Protests

It's not often a high-society wedding ignites protests, but this one has done it, and activists are out to ruin the bride and groom's day. They just might succeed. The groom's reputation and his billions are the reason for argument. His public image has taken a beating and the massive wedding won't help change it for the better.
