At least one good thing came from Amazon pulling a $2.5 billion plan for new headquarters—it was a good business decision for Amazon. It will likely be in Amazon’s best interest to not have one of its East Coast HQs in areas where employees will be taxed to death, morale will be difficult to keep, and productivity will be at the mercy of the leftist socialist [...]

There are a few more economic problems globally that we can see right now -- and still more continuing to surface every day. These problems and issues are not all caused by geopolitical events or political uncertainties here in America.

The relentless culture warriors on the left have come up with a new recruitment tool: a constitutional amendment that would allow teens as young as 16 to vote. First proposed in Congress last August by Rep. Grace Meng, D-N.Y., this movement has since appeared in other places, imitating the popular arcade game, Whac-A-Mole.

For many years on the radio, I have talked about the importance of taking a biblical approach to estate planning. For over 30 years, as I have helped many plan and grow their finances, I have come to understand how...

If you’re wondering about mainstream media and the lack of reporting on how great the economy is, understand this—the majority of mainstream media and mainstream economists believe that if they continue to talk down this economy, the “prophecy” will be self-fulfilled. Many on the left want the U.S. economy to fail in order to bring down Donald Trump. Take for example Bill Maher, the liberal [...]

There’s so much opportunity in the markets—primarily because of unprecedented enthusiasm and growth. This is an economy the likes of which we haven’t seen in at least 15 years, and even then, it was nothing compared to the levels we are seeing today. If we look only at consumer sentiment, business investment, wages, consumer spending and productivity—not to mention a level of optimism, enthusiasm, opportunities [...]
