A new, tax-advantaged investment account, created under the One, Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, pledges to build long-term financial security for millions of children in the United States. Popularly known as Trump Accounts, these custodial, tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are modeled after traditional IRAs with a few, key differences – the biggest being that any U.S. citizen born between 2025-2028 will receive a one-time $1,000 contribution from the United States Treasury to jumpstart their savings efforts!

The third assassination attempt on Trump in two years by a leftist, and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s grand jury indictment for paying the Klan and other remnants of race groups to stage what happened in Charlottesville, tell you all you need to know about the current Democrat Party. Reagan and Trump were shot at. Obama, Biden and Clinton went through no assassination attempts. Bullets are flying in one direction: left to right. None of these Democrats even had known threats, unless you count Hillary’s lamp throwing attempts on Bill Clinton.

A friend of mine recently lost his iPhone. I’ll call him Jack, since that’s his name. (He doesn’t read my column, so we’re safe here.) For about 24 hours, Jack’s life was a mess. He couldn’t focus on anything except his missing phone. “My whole life is on that phone,” he said. “My money, my passwords, my pictures. I’m lost without it!”

I don’t remember my mother singing much to me and my brother during our formative years. (Technically, I’m still in my formative years -- if you count forming calluses, wrinkles, reasons to go to bed before nine…) Sure, Mom did a dutiful job of singing in church (while Dad hummed), but there wasn’t the oneon- one, “patty cake, patty cake” experience seen in some families. (SOMEWHERE I came up with the misheard “The Farmer in the Deal,” but I don’t think there was a maternal aspect to the transaction.)
