(The Center Square) – As Congress weighs the “big, beautiful bill,” a proposed hike to the state and local tax deduction cap is drawing fire for favoring taxpayers in high-tax states, like Illinois. Taxpayers who itemize can deduct up to $10,000 in state and local taxes from their federal taxes—a cap set by the 2017 tax law. A provision in the legislation the U.S. Senate sent back over to the House Tuesday would raise that cap to $40,000 for most people, but phase it out for those earning over $500,000. “This is considered to be specifically a subsidy for high-income taxpayers in high-tax states because there are some lower-tax states where even relatively high earners aren't paying $10,000 in state and local taxes due to low property and income taxes,” said Tax Foundation analyst Katherine Loughead.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has spent a lot of taxpayer money to defend himself in front of the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission.

It's Wednesday, July 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Hundreds of Hindus attacked Christians in India Hundreds of Hindu nationalists attacked a group of Christian families in eastern India last month. The 20 families were eating lunch together before the mob attacked them. Eight of the Christians had to be hospitalized. A Christian leader in the area told International Christian Concern, “Hindu right-wing activists continued to threaten people to change their religion and accept Hinduism.” However, the Christians resisted. India is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian. Hebrews 10:23 says, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Trump brokered peace deal between Congo and Rwanda The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda signed a peace deal last Friday in Washington, D.C. The United States brokered the agreement which will allow American companies to access minerals in the region. Armed groups across the two East African nations have been in conflict since the 1990s. The violence has left millions of people dead. Christians in the area have been especially vulnerable. Listen to comments from President Donald Trump on the conflict. TRUMP: “It's displaced countless people and claimed the lives of thousands and thousands. But today, the violence and destruction comes to an end. And the entire region begins a new chapter of hope and opportunity, harmony, prosperity and peace.” Senate passed Trump's Big Beautiful Bill with Vance's tie-breaking vote The U.S. Senate passed President Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill” yesterday. Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote to approve it 51-50. The three Republican Senators who defected include Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina. The spending bill extends Trump's tax cuts from 2017. It provides more funding for defense and immigration enforcement while cutting Medicaid spending. Appearing on Fox News Channel, Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, outlined the highlights of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. MILLER: “Each and every one of the individual titles in this bill would be considered one of the great achievements in the history of the conservative movement. “Building the missile defense shield. Our children can be safe from foreign adversaries in this growing era of intercontinental ballistic missiles as nation's race for supremacy. “The section on this bill enshrining border and homeland security. This is the most far reaching Border Security proposal, Homeland Security proposal in my lifetime. I stood by the families whose kids have been murdered by illegal aliens. We made them a promise. Most importantly, the American people voted to fulfill that promise in the last election. This bill fulfills it. “It is the largest tax cut and reform in American history. No tax on tips. No tax on Social Security. No tax on overtime. 100% expensing for new factories. Think about that. Every single business owner with a dream of manufacturing in America can deduct 100% of that cost to make the American dream come true. “The largest welfare reform in American history. Work requirements on food stamps. Work requirements on Medicaid. “This is the most conservative bill in my lifetime. Tax cuts, defense, Border Security, Homeland Security, welfare reform and the largest spending cut in one bill that has ever been enacted. Let's pass this bill.” The bill does raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. The U.S. national debt currently stands at $37 trillion. The bill heads back to the U.S. House of Representatives for final approval. Trump hopes to sign the bill by July 4. Senate votes to defund Planned Parenthood The Senate version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” would also defund Planned Parenthood. A provision in the bill cuts abortion funding through Medicaid for one year. Originally, the provision would have cut the funding for 10 years. Democratic Senator Patty Murray of Washington offered an amendment to strike the provision defunding Planned Parenthood from the bill. Thankfully, the Republicans rejected her pro-abortion amendment. Marjorie Dannenfelser with SBA Pro-Life America said, “Taxpayers should never be forced to funnel their hard-earned dollars to Big Abortion. This funding currently hits almost $800 million annually.” 58% of Americans say public schools should have religious chaplains A new poll from the Associated Press found Americans are divided on their views of religion in public schools. Fifty-eight percent of U.S. adults think religious chaplains should be allowed to provide support services in public schools. Only 44% are in favor of teachers leading a class in prayer. And 39% support a mandatory period during school for private prayer and religious reading. Also, 38% of Americans think religion has too little influence on what children are taught in schools while 32% think religion has too much influence. Arsonist shot and killed 2 firefighters, injured another A man armed with a rifle started a wildfire Sunday and then began shooting at first responders in a northern Idaho mountain community, killing two firefighters and wounding a third during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, reports The Associated Press. Crews responded to a fire at Canfield Mountain, just north of Coeur d'Alene around 1:30 p.m., and gunshots were reported about a half hour later. The gunman, identified as 20-year-old Wess Roley, committed suicide at the scene. Sheriff Bob Norris said, “We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional. These firefighters did not have a chance.” The deaths of Frank Harwood, a 42-year-old firefighter, and John Morrison, a 52-year-old firefighter, have left their colleagues reeling. David Tysdal, age 47, a Coeur d'Alene fire department fire engineer. sustained gunshot wounds and was in critical condition. Authorities said he had two successful surgeries. Ironically, the dead gunman, Wess Roley, had once aspired to be a firefighter and had only minor contacts with area police, reports The Guardian. Rare Indonesian fish is thorn in evolutionists' side Ocean explorers recently captured a rare Indonesian fish on camera for the first time. Marine biologist Alexis Chappuis encountered an Indonesian coelacanth nearly 500 feet below the ocean's surface in the Maluku Islands. The Indonesian species of the fish has been spotted before but never photographed underwater. The coelacanth has been called a living fossil. Scientists believed they were extinct until one was spotted in 1938. Frank Sherwin with the Institute for Creation Research wrote that the fish “continues to be a thorn in the evolutionists' side. Paleontologists can only say these amazing fish evolved from a vague, unidentified ‘. . . ancestor.' Creationists say there have always been coelacanth fish since their creation thousands of years ago.” Psalm 104:23-24 says, “O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom have You made them all; the Earth is full of Your creatures. Here is the sea, great and wide, which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both small and great.” 7 Worldview listeners gave $1,246.50 to fund the newscast Even though our fundraiser officially concluded on June 30th, 7 final donations came in on July 1st.

Guest host Dom Giordano fills in for Rich on this episode. Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) breaks down the Senate's passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, what it means for spending reform, and the next battle as it heads to the House. He outlines how the bill could reshape America's economy and strengthen conservative priorities once signed into law. Then, Charles "Cully" Stimson of the Deputy Director of Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation joins to discuss the shocking plea deal for Brian Kohberger, the Idaho student murder suspect. Once facing the death penalty, Kohberger will now serve life in prison—raising deep legal and ethical questions. Stimson also explores the taxpayer impact of high-profile prosecutions. Stacy Garrity, Pennsylvania State Treasurer, weighs in on the economic benefits of the Big Beautiful Bill and addresses a brewing scandal involving Governor Josh Shapiro's alleged misuse of taxpayer funds for luxury perks at the U.S. Open. Finally, Scott Jennings, CNN contributor and former presidential advisor, discusses how the bill targets Medicaid fraud, and the growing tension between Elon Musk and Donald Trump as the two titans clash over policy direction and influence.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson cover a wide-ranging discussion —from Iowa's economic development subsidies to escalating foreign tensions. The show opens with a nod to Abraham Lincoln (in bust form) and an editorial comment on questionable taxpayer-funded art installations near ITR's headquarters.The episode shifts to foreign policy, where the hosts weigh in on the U.S. airstrikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and the surprising ceasefire that followed. Chris and John explore President Trump's foreign policy identity—highlighting his balance between non-interventionism and strength projection—and the larger conservative debate over military action and national interest.Returning to Iowa, the conversation zeroes in on three recent state economic development awards, questioning whether taxpayer incentives actually create new growth or simply reward companies that would expand anyway. The hosts break down subsidies for projects in central Iowa, and ask whether property tax burdens are being made worse by carving out special deals for large employers while small businesses struggle.They close by highlighting a story from Iowa's gubernatorial race: Democratic frontrunner Rob Sand's public stance against men in women's sports, a move that's creating friction with his party's progressive base. As John notes, the left's inability to engage in honest debate on this issue contrasts sharply with conservatives' internal discussions on foreign policy, spending, and taxes.

Less than a third of respondents to a poll believe the Cook Islands should still get New Zealand services. Last week, the Government paused aid after the Cooks signed a partnership with China, without sharing any details with New Zealand. The Taxpayers' Union-funded Curia poll asked participants whether the Cooks should continue to have automatic access to New Zealand passports, citizenship and healthcare when pursuing foreign policy against New Zealand's wishes. Only 30 percent believed they should and 46 percent said not - with the remaining 24 percent unsure. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls unpacks the results.

There's belief the New Zealand-Cook Islands 'special relationship' will hold, despite an unfavourable poll. The Government paused aid after the Cooks signed a partnership with China - without sharing details with New Zealand. 46 percent of respondents to a Taxpayers' Union-funded Curia poll believe Cook Island citizens should no longer have automatic access to New Zealand passports or citizenship. Pacific security expert Anna Powles says she doesn't see that change happening - and there's a lot to lose. "For many Cook Islanders, it's very divided and fairly complex - and there are significant benefits, particularly with respect to healthcare."

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?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
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.
