During President Biden’s State of the Union‚ he will unveil his plan to raise the minimum corporate tax by a whopping 40% as well as implement a tax on the rich that would be at least 25%. Biden would raise the corporate tax rate to 28% and the corporate minimum tax to 21%. Currently‚ the minimum corporate tax rate stands at 15% after Biden implemented that earlier in his presidency. Biden would also refuse companies tax deductions for employees making over $1 million. “The President is proposing to levy a 25 percent minimum tax on the wealthiest 0.01 percent‚ those with wealth of more than $100 million‚” the White House stated. Former President Trump‚ the presumptive GOP 2024 presidential nominee‚ would reportedly make the tax cuts he implemented in his first term – which reduced corporate taxes from 35% to 21% —  permanent. During Trump’s administration‚ the four quarters preceding January 2019 saw real gross domestic product soar more than 3 percent‚ the best since the second term of George W. Bush’s presidency 13 years before. Wharton Business School finance professor Joao Gomes‚ who was awarded the University of Pennsylvania’s Marshall Blume Prize in 2018‚ recently warned that the nation’s massive $34 trillion debt could presage an economic meltdown in 2025. “As we discuss promises about ‘what we’re going to do with tax and programs‚’ it’s going to be important to put it in the context of ‘Can we afford that?’” Gomes told Fortune. “It’s a really obvious moment in history for us to say: ‘Okay‚ what are our choices; what can we feasibly do; who has the better plan?’ I suspect neither party is interested in that‚ and it might all be pushed under the rug.” “Toward the latter part of the decade we will have to deal with this‚” he continued. “It could derail the next administration‚ frankly. If they come up with plans for large tax cuts or another big fiscal stimulus‚ the markets could rebel. Interest rates could just spike right there‚ and we would have a crisis in 2025. It could very well happen. I’m very confident by the end of the decade one way or another‚ we will be there.” “The most important thing about debt for people to keep in mind is you need somebody to buy it. We used to be able to count on China‚ Japanese investors‚ the Fed to [buy the debt]. All those players are slowly going away and are actually now selling. … If at some moment these folks that have so far been happy to buy government debt from major economies decide‚ ‘You know what‚ I’m not too sure if this is a good investment anymore. I’m going to ask for a higher interest rate to be persuaded to hold this‚’ then we could have a real accident on our hands‚” Gomes stated.

In his tear-filled farewell speech‚ Jason Kelce brought his 13-year NFL career to a close by underlining what really mattered in life: marriage and family. The longtime Philadelphia Eagles player‚ who made the NFL Pro Bowl in each of the last five seasons after getting married to his wife‚ Kylie‚ in 2018‚ said in his retirement speech: It’s no coincidence I have enjoyed my best years with Kylie by my side. She has brought the best out of me through love‚ devotion‚ support‚ honesty‚ intelligence‚ and a swift kick in the ass — from time to time. She has also given me three beautiful girls and a life that increasingly brings me more fulfillment off the field than it does on. He went on to say that he has seen his job as a father as of paramount importance: I think one of the best things a person can be in this world is a father. A father who is present‚ devoted‚ and loving is the greatest gift a child could ask for in our society. In the emotional retirement speech‚ Kelce acknowledged that the family he built was one of the most important things in his life. Kylie Kelce was his saving grace. Being a father brought renewed purpose to Kelce’s life. Kelce learned from his two married parents. Today‚ our culture tells us two myths. The first myth is that the path to happiness runs away from family‚ rather than towards it. Controversial cultural figures‚ like Andrew Tate or Pearl Davis‚ view marriage as a bad deal for men and are broadly skeptical of‚ in their eyes‚ selfish women. In a recent post on X‚ Davis said‚ “I am anti-marriage as it is today. I think it’s silly to think marriage is a good deal for most men today.” Tate agrees‚ saying “I don’t think many men actually benefit from marriages or relationships anymore.” The second myth is that father-present homes are of no great importance to our kids. Harvard University’s Christina Cross in The New York Times argues that “…living apart from a biological parent does not carry the same cost for black youths as for their white peers.” Pamela Braboy Jackson in The Atlantic contends that “it’s the quality of the relationship that matters‚ and the handling of communication and conflict‚ and the number of people in the household is not really the key” for children. Jason Kelce readily dispatched both of these myths in his retirement speech‚ and he’s right. The data tell us that no group of men are happier than married fathers. Based on data from the 2022 General Social Survey‚ 35% of prime-aged‚ married men with children report being “very happy.” Barely 14% of prime-aged‚ unmarried men without children could report the same. The happiness premium for married fathers is significant and worth promoting. Luckily‚ Kelce did just that in his retirement speech. Institute for Family Studies. General Social Survey‚ 2022. The data from my new book‚ “Get Married‚” also shows that children who grow up in intact families are much more likely to graduate from college and steer clear of trouble. In fact‚ 38% of young men from intact families graduate from college compared to 15% of their peers in households headed by a single mother. A greater share of women in intact families (49%) graduate from college‚ compared to 24% of women from households headed by a single mother. The data are clear: children raised in intact families have a far greater likelihood of graduating from college. Source: National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. Jason Kelce’s story dovetails perfectly with the data. He is a happily married father in his prime‚ albeit out of his sporting prime‚ raising his daughters in a stable two-parent home – exemplifying the benefits of marriage and family. In other words‚ a good family man.   * * * Brad Wilcox is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Future of Freedom Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies‚ author of “Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites‚ Forge Strong Families‚ and Save Civilization.” Follow him: @BradWilcoxIFS The views expressed in this piece are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.

“Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot on Wednesday shared a baby picture of her newborn after a secret pregnancy and got flooded with hate over her support of Israel in the comments section. The 38-year-old Israeli actress posted on Instagram a picture of her in a hospital holding her infant baby girl‚ her fourth with husband Jaron Varsona. It has since gone viral with more than 3.5 million views. Next to the post‚ she wrote‚ “My sweet girl‚ welcome.

Welcome to the house of girls. Daddy is pretty cool too.” Despite the post being about new life and love‚ some social media trolls decided to make it all about their hatred for Israelis and Israel’s response to the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack that left at least 1‚200 people dead. “Why should we celebrate? She is an active supporter of this terrorist state who killed how many children and newborn babies‚” one user posted. Another wrote‚ “I’m sure the pregnant Palestinian women in Gaza are having a much harder pregnancy than you did.” While a third claimed‚ “Israel killing all of the children of Palestine even babies‚ even newborns.” Despite the handful of negative comments‚ most respondents were excited about Gadot and slammed the disgusting attacks.  They wrote messages like‚ “She has not sinned nor her ancestors…We need to get rid of terrorists and we will.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Another user added‚ “I honestly cannot believe some of the nasty comments in this post! There is enough nastiness and hatred in this world as it is‚ why can’t people be nice and be happy for others.” While a third wrote‚ “Mazal tov!!! Love the name and its message! Our nations (sic) answer in times of hatred is just LIGHT!! Feel good Mama.” Gadot and Varsano are the parents of three other girls: Alma‚ 12; Maya‚ 6; and Daniella‚ 2‚ People Magazine noted.

Adapted from “Crain &; Co.‚” March 7‚ 2024.  Jake Crain: ESPN’s Chris Low published a profile on Nick Saban just yesterday‚ and in it‚ Saban basically said the quiet part out loud. The truth is‚ with the way college football is structured right now‚ after all these monumental changes‚ coaches have lost a lot of leverage. And when you lose leverage‚ you lose a lot of control — control over being able to know who’s coming back consistently‚ control over being able to construct a depth chart due strictly to who practices better and who has earned it. You lose a lot of your ability to cultivate long lasting program culture‚ which takes the result even further out of your hands. In the interview‚ Nick Saban said‚ “So I’m saying to myself‚ ‘Maybe this doesn’t work anymore‚ that the goals and aspirations are just different and that it’s all about how much money can I make as a college player?’ Now‚ I’m not saying that’s bad. I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m just saying that’s never been what we’re all about‚ and it’s not why we had success through the years.” I agree that players should be paid for NIL‚ but with no guardrails and no balance‚ it goes from a part of the motivation to the main motivation. Now‚ that isn’t a brand new concept. Guys have been motivated by making money in the NFL for a long time‚ but you didn’t get that reward until you finished college — outside of what the boosters slid in before you committed. So one can want players to get rewarded‚ but are we trading the most valuable lesson of college football for valuable pieces of printed paper? Saban sustained success for so long for many reasons‚ but his best poker play was being malleable even when he was at the top because he had control. And a great poker player knows when to hold them‚ knows when to fold them‚ knows when to walk away‚ and knows when to run to your $17 million island that you just bought because you can’t control all the variables anymore. And he’s smart to do it. The game has changed‚ and we have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time with this NIL situation with no guardrails. They let the monster out to attack the villagers. And you’ve seen coaches lose that control. And it’s really hard right now to be able to consistently have a roster that you feel like you have molded the piece of clay as much as you possibly can. You’re basically only co-parenting now‚ and it’s tough. WATCH: “Crain &; Company” on DailyWire+ David Cone: Let’s not forget that Nick Saban is 72-years-old. That’s the primary reason for him retiring. If he were 50-years-old‚ I don’t care what the players did after the Rose Bowl‚ he was going to whip the thing into shape and come back next year. I do find Low’s interview with Saban very telling though‚ and all of the reactions that I saw to this interview fell into one of two categories. Either‚ one‚ Nick Saban is exactly right: Money is ruining college football. The game is not the same and I’m done with it. Or two‚ Nick Saban is just mad that he’s not the only one who can pay players anymore and he wants to exploit their talents‚ so go on and be gone and good riddance. I think it’s low resolution on either side of those arguments. Yes‚ this has ushered in a new wave of college football without any sort of guardrails‚ and any time the NCAA has tried to put some rules in place‚ we’ve gone to class action or antitrust lawsuits like we’ve just seen at the University of Tennessee. The NCAA has brought a lot of this on themselves. But we can have leadership in college football without everything falling off the rails. Nick Saban needs to take a leadership role in college football. I know he’s going to go work at ESPN and I know he’s going to be on television‚ but he can help bring about some positive change. We can solve a lot of these problems and college football can still be great‚ even if players are able to capitalize monetarily in some aspects.  * * * Jake Crain is co-host of Crain &; Company‚ the Daily Wire’s sports show hosted by former athletes and coaches Jake Crain‚ Blain Crain‚ and David Cone.

A commenter asked this deaf TikToker where she picked up her British accent‚ so she recruited her mom to help explain. Her response has gone viral with over three million views! In the video‚ Mom revealed that accents come from the way that we move our mouths. Since her daughter grew up moving her lips the same way as everyone around her‚ she developed the same accent when she spoke. “When you are deaf you copy the mouth shape of people around you‚ so you have the same accent as them‚” said the TikToker’s mother. @beckyyhelen Replying to @Levi how do deaf people get accents? #education #deaf #deaftiktok #deafawareness #mumanddaughter #deafcommunity #deafculture #bsl #britishsignlanguage #accents ♬ original sound – Becky People in the comments section were shocked to find out where accents come from‚ and they were grateful to the deaf young woman and her mom for sharing this information. “That’s really interesting‚” wrote one user. “I would never assume this.
