by Mike Maharrey Despite all the talk about DOGE and cost-cutting earlier this year, the federal government spent more in fiscal 2025 than it did the previous year and set a new spending record.

Trump didn’t just hint at a trade deal with China. He admitted the United States helped build China’s military power. Not through espionage or theft, but through decades of bad trade policy, offshored industry, and the slow surrender of leverage. What he called “business” was really national decay dressed as profit. Now he is selling …

Trump is demanding $230 million from the Department of Justice. Not because the government damaged him. Not because he suffered a loss. He wants taxpayers to pay for being investigated for crimes he may have committed. The people who would approve the payout are his own appointees. This is more than a conflict of interest. …

Florida’s housing market didn’t cool. It cracked. Pandemic money, remote-work fantasies, and short-term rentals pretending to be long-term investments pushed prices to unsustainable heights.
