Biden's $7.3 Trillion Budget Plan Raises Concern with Massive Tax Hikes
President Biden's ambitious $7.3 trillion budget plan for 2025 has caused concern due to its substantial tax hikes on billionaires and corporations over ten years, totaling $5 trillion. The budget allocates $850 billion for defense and $11.8 billion for border security. The plan's implications for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as the impact on American taxpayers, raise questions about its long-term effects.

Conservative Anti-Crime Measures in Blue Cities
Blue cities like San Francisco, Washington, and New York have started embracing conservative anti-crime measures to address rising crime rates.
