Taxpayers are seeing huge burdens right now. We’re seeing a lot of cracks in the economy and any time there is instability domestically and internationally, it’s a recipe to put much strain on the U.S. Dollar. Even though this weakens the Dollar, it does strengthen Precious Metal Prices.

Idaho Murders: Why Bryan Kohberger's Defense is Costing Taxpayers HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS Bryan Kohberger's defense team is mounting one of the most expensive challenges to forensic science in legal history - and it's all being paid for by Idaho taxpayers. But after spending hundreds of thousands on expert witnesses, their strategy suffered a devastating blow when Judge Steven Hippler denied ALL motions to suppress DNA evidence in February 2025. The Idaho murders case has become a controversial examination of what happens when unlimited public funding meets a death penalty defense. Kohberger stands accused of brutally stabbing four University of Idaho students - Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin - but his defense team is spending taxpayer money to hire experts who typically work for law enforcement. Cell phone expert Sy Ray has testified for prosecutors over 100 times, but now he's claiming Kohberger's phone data proves he was "stargazing" miles away during the murders. However, a Colorado judge previously found Ray's technology to be a "sea of unreliability" and questioned his credibility after he "inflated his credentials." Yet Ray is reportedly earning premium rates for his first-ever defense testimony. The controversy deepened when FBI agents visited defense witness Gabriella Vargas at her home after she testified about genetic genealogy violations. The prosecution says they requested the contact because Vargas was questioning her own testimony, while the defense claims witness intimidation. DNA experts like Bicka Barlow and Greg Hampikian are challenging the same investigative genetic genealogy techniques that solved the Golden State Killer case and brought justice to countless families. With Anne Taylor allegedly earning $200 per hour as one of only 13 Idaho attorneys qualified for death penalty cases, this defense strategy represents a massive public investment in questioning established forensic science. As the August 2025 trial approaches, the question remains: will expensive expert testimony create enough doubt about overwhelming physical evidence, or will four murdered students finally receive justice? #IdahoMurders #BryanKohberger #TrueCrime #TaxpayerMoney #DNAEvidence #ForensicScience #ExpertWitness #DeathPenalty #Justice #CourtroomStrategy    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Some of the sickest Medicare Advantage patients ran into problems getting end-of-life care. Ultimately many patients switched to traditional Medicare, costing taxpayers billions, according to an investigation by the Wall Street Journal. This is one of many Medicare Advantage practices that is now under government scrutiny. Both Congress and Medicare agency head Dr. Mehmet Oz are pushing for reforms to curb tactics that can boost federal payments to private insurers. The Department of Justice is also investigating major private insurance companies UnitedHealth, Aetna, Elevance Health and Humana.

What happened to the DOGE cuts? Why is Congress ignoring the massive saveings? Congress's failure to codify DOGE-related budget cuts is a direct assault on the people that voted not just for President Trump, but for the DOGE cuts Trump promised. Plus recent interviews with FBI Director Kash Patel and Assistant Director Dan Bongino have conservatives concerned. What really happened with Epstein? Will people pay for the Russian Collusion hoax? It appears we may never know. I'll Explain why. Lastly, we examine the U.S. Court of International Trade's ruling that blocked most of former President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs.

Portland's brilliant solution to crime? Defund police to clean park restrooms. In yet another display of misguided priorities, the Portland City Council voted to redirect $1.9 million in police funding to parks maintenance while ranking 48th out of 50 states in police per capita. Watch as we break down how this decision impacts public safety in a city already struggling with vacant downtown buildings, delayed 911 responses, and parks overrun with homelessness and drug use. The police chief warns of reduced services while parks officials prioritize graffiti removal over violent crime response. Is anyone surprised downtown Portland has the highest vacancy rate of any major U.S. city? How many more businesses need to flee before city leadership acknowledges the obvious connection between public safety and economic prosperity?Like this video, subscribe for more government accountability coverage, and share with anyone who thinks defunding police actually works in practice.

Another day, another cover-up by LA officials who seem allergic to transparency. Mayor Karen Bass and her team claim they 'can't find' crucial text messages exchanged during the Palisades fire while she was conveniently in Ghana. Sound familiar? It's the same playbook we saw in Seattle during CHAZ—officials magically losing communications that might expose their failures and negligence during crisis situations. This video exposes how LA officials first admitted they had the requested public records, then delayed for months before ultimately claiming those same records don't exist at all. Meanwhile, Governor Newsom claims he's completely exempt from public records laws. Is there anything more telling than officials who preach transparency while actively hiding their communications? Why would Bass and her acting mayor go to such lengths to hide these messages if there's nothing damning in them? How much worse was their response to the fire than we already know?Like, subscribe, and share to help expose the government officials who think accountability is optional while taxpayer money burns alongside LA neighborhoods.

DC's progressive minimum wage experiment just imploded spectacularly, forcing even Democrat Mayor Bowser to beg for a repeal. Watch as we expose how the city's Initiative 82 has devastated local restaurants, with 70% cutting hours or laying off staff and a record 74 closures in 2024 alone. The same politicians who pushed for "economic justice" are now scrambling as businesses can't absorb a 25-50% labor cost increase on already razor-thin margins. Is anyone surprised that artificially manipulating market wages leads to disaster? Will other blue cities learn this $15/hour lesson before their restaurant scenes collapse too?

State Farm's outrageous 30% rate hike request comes just ONE WEEK after securing a 17% increase—proving once again that insurance giants won't stop until they've squeezed every last penny from California homeowners. This video exposes how State Farm bypassed legally required calculations, how regulators rubber-stamped increases despite insufficient justification, and how the company's own actuary admitted they didn't follow proper protocols. Is anyone surprised that they're already planning another 11% increase for 2026? Or that they've suggested they could justify hikes up to 77%? They don't want you to know that California actually ranks just 19th nationwide for homeowner insurance costs despite facing some of the highest natural disaster risks.

From Portland to LA, we show you the real consequences of misguided compassion—shuttered businesses, unsafe streets, and destroyed neighborhoods.

     Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes Elizabeth McNeese to the podcast. Elizabeth is an Ohio mother of three who has been advocating for her youngest son since birth as he is a special needs child who will soon be 18.     Advocating isn't new for Elizabeth, who  is speaking out for reform and justice in the court systems. Elizabeth has co-authored legislation and is working with Ohio lawmakers to try and make things better for Ohio's families.      Living close to Columbus, Elizabeth went to the State House and started meeting with lawmakers. Starting five years ago with her first co-authored bill which was well received, as there were 61 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives. It was very popular, however it caught the judiciary and the Bar Association by surprise. They retaliated by creating their own bill and Elizabeth has been battling them to this day.      Liz also got two bills passed that were "equal parenting" bills (200 pages). The judges and the Bar successfully blocked both of them. At taxpayer expense, the Judge's then wrote their own bill (SB174), 400 pages long. Three years ago the Ohio Judicial Conference sent Elizabeth a copy of this bill that was introduced in the senate by two family law attorneys on behalf of the judges. The main judge, Judge Denise McColley, mother of Senate President Robert Mc Colley, who successfully blocked Elizabeth's bill and pitched his mother's bill at the same time. He got two family law attorneys to pick it up and it has gathered momentum. The judges support it. It was a counter bill to what Elizabeth was trying to do with her bill. Essentially SB174 wants to take away Parental Rights.      The public can help Ohio citizens, share information and email legislators and State House.To Reach Elizabeth McNeese: ermcneese@gmail.com and her YouTube channel We The Parents MovieSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

James Hohman, director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. Whitmer for president? As a Michigan taxpayer, here's why voters should stay away.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a Supreme Court ruling ending the public funding of a Catholic school.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson take a deep dive into the proposed federal “Big, Beautiful Bill” —a sweeping tax and budget to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). They explore what's included, how it could impact Iowa taxpayers, and why federal spending policy is just as important to state-level fiscal decisions as what happens in Des Moines.The episode starts with local stories, including Axios Des Moines' report on housing incentives and Des Moines' call for suburban areas to contribute more to metro affordable housing projects. Chris and John push back on the idea of taxpayer-subsidized development, highlighting how government incentives—whether for low-income housing or luxury projects—distort the free market and fuel property tax frustrations.From there, they shift to the heart of the episode: Trump-era tax cuts are set to expire, and Congress is working on a major package to extend and expand many of those provisions. The bill includes an expanded child tax credit, increases to the standard deduction, and proposed tax exemptions for tips and overtime pay. Chris and John warn that while these carveouts may be politically appealing, they erode the tax base and complicate Iowa's flat tax system due to the state's rolling conformity with federal tax law.They also dissect the politics of the SALT cap debate, a key sticking point among lawmakers from high-tax states, and outline how raising the cap to $40,000 could disproportionately benefit wealthier taxpayers in states like New York and California—undermining the incentive for state-level tax reform.In closing, the hosts emphasize the broader lesson: neither tax relief nor economic growth is sustainable without spending restraint. With the federal government projected to spend nearly $89 trillion over the next 10 years, and only modest cuts proposed, Chris and John preview future ITR Foundation efforts to spotlight the dangers of unchecked national debt—and why every taxpayer, including Iowans, should care.
