It’s tax conference season!gettyI’m on the road again! It’s tax conference season, and my first stop in June was San Antonio, Texas, for The Tax Retreat. It’s been a terrific experience meeting up with my fellow tax professionals. I even ran into Charles Barkley (okay, I suspect he was here for the NBA Finals and not to talk tax, but still). Of course, there was plenty of tax, too. One of the highlights of the week was hearing National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins sit down with Terry Lemons for a conversation that felt refreshingly candid. Rather than sticking to Washington…

The families of the victims of the 2023 Nottingham attacks have said that “every single agency failed… without exception” and accused government bodies of closing ranks and engaging in a “cover-up” after their relatives were murdered, as they demand an immediate meeting with the Prime Minister and top government figures to discuss “changing the systems that failed”.

Move of a young couplegettyGen Z is coming of age in an economy where the traditional path to prosperity no longer works, and instead of giving up, they’re beginning to build new ones. For 70 years, the American Dream followed a predictable sequence: school, job, promotion, mortgage, house, financial freedom. But for many young adults, that path has disintegrated. Headline economic numbers such as GDP and unemployment still look fine, but they were never what made people feel successful. Success was hitting a milestone and trusting the next one was within reach. Now, young adults are having to forge their…

Is anyone not installed? Recently, Candace Owens interviewed Hunter Biden. You know, the wayward presidential son with the infamous laptop. Crackhead. Made a lot of money in Ukraine. He looked better, with freshly capped teeth. He sounds just like the Big Guy himself. If he waits until he’s past 70, maybe he can run for political office.

With Lilly Gaddis. They’re all compromised! They wouldn’t have the…
