In a historic first, President Donald J. Trump today rang the opening bells of both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ from the Oval Office, marking the official launch of Trump Accounts and igniting a new era of American prosperity for millions of children.
Created under President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Act, Trump Accounts give every American child a powerful, tax-advantaged path to build generational wealth and own a direct stake in the greatest economy on Earth.
When America celebrated its 250th birthday this weekend, I expected to feel the same exhilaration I experienced during the Bicentennial in 1976.
Instead, I felt something else.
Fifty years ago, I was a law student in Boston. I stood on the Esplanade with my mother listening to Arthur Fiedler conduct the Boston Pops as fireworks illuminated the Charles River. Like millions of Americans, I believed I was witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of our nation.
Tulsa, OK – Every day, technology creates new opportunities to connect, learn and communicate. Unfortunately, it also creates new opportunities for those seeking to exploit children.
That’s why The Demand Project is inviting professionals, advocates and community members from across the country to gather Nov. 12-13 for the 9th Annual Beyond Awareness Educational Summit, a two-day event focused on understanding today’s threats and equipping attendees with practical tools to better protect children.
President Ronald Reagan famously said:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
I have spent my life in the beer industry. As the former owner of the TapWerks OKC, my firm spent many hours pouring a cold draft grown by the American farmer into a cold glass for our customers. Now, the threat of cheap import beer into the U.S. is set to wreck one of this country’s most important industries.
The warning signs are already visible across our industry. Brewery utilization capacity in the U.S. has shrunk to 65% from 82% a decade ago. Because of this severe downturn, breweries large and small have closed in the last year. This structural shift has been driven by foreign products, as imported, non-union beer now accounts for almost 25% of the U.S. market.
