Why Does this Harvard Law Professor Want Trump Impeached?
My friend Gene Healy from the Cato Institute calls Laurence Tribe the “dean of con-law [constitutional law] professors,” but can’t understand Tribe’s fascination with impeaching President Trump. Tribe, who teaches at Harvard, typically takes a more balanced approach to the law. In 2015 he was excoriating the EPA’s greenhouse gas emissions plan in front of Congress. But […]
Here’s a Quick Way to Find Cheap Gas on your Next Road Trip

Advisors Should Help You Reach Investment Goals for Real, Not only in Theory
When investors hire an advisor to help them make money fast, it often turns out that the only person making money is the advisor. Advisors not held to a fiduciary standard are likely to churn clients’ portfolios, meaning they’ll buy and sell, either chasing performance or generating fees and commissions for themselves by reinvesting the clients’ […]
What Amazon is Buying from Whole Foods
Imagine walking into your local grocery store where everybody knows your name. That’s what Amazon wants out of this deal with Whole Foods. Gone are the days where an employee stocking shelves will blissfully look the other way as you search for what you need. Imagine the service you get at a five star hotel […]
Why the Democrat Party will Always Lose on Guns
In a recent conversation with a gun store owner, he told me his customers are about 50-50, Dems-Republicans. He said his Democrat customers love their guns just as much as the Republican ones.

Chicago Fed’s Charles Evans is Stumped by My Bezos Law
I love Amazon’s proposed purchase of Whole Foods. But let’s not kid ourselves. Amazon would not be where it’s at today without the help of an ultra loose Federal Reserve. Where else is all that Goldman Sachs and indexing money going to go? Into cash? Please, in a “what have you done for me lately” […]
Illinois Bankruptcy? It Could Happen
From top to bottom Illinois is a sham, putting tax dollars into the pockets of elected officials with no regard for fiscal sanity. In 2013 I highlighted that 47 of Illinois’ Village Managers earn more than any state governor. Every level of government in Illinois is filled with horrors like this. Looks like the chickens are coming […]
Are You Prepared to Defend Your Family When No One Else Can?
When Republican members of Congress came under fire from a deranged progressive radical last week, they were lucky to have two members of the Capitol Police on hand to shoot back. What if it had been you taking fire? Would you be ready to defend yourself or your family? Do you have a private police […]
