2026/08/05

Virginia’s sales tax holiday kicks off this Friday, offering tax-free buys on back-to-school gear, emergency supplies, and energy-efficient appliances — a sweet relief for families facing rising prices. But experts say the real impact is minimal: most shoppers were already planning to buy these items, and the state loses revenue without a meaningful economic boost. Still, lawmakers keep it alive because voters love it — and last time it was nearly canceled, the public outcry was loud enough to

York County is eyeing a five percent admissions tax on amusement and water parks, projected to bring in $450K in its first year — a move enabled by state approval that lifts a longstanding restriction. Inspired by neighboring James City County and even Busch Gardens’ price hikes, the plan aims to shift tourism-related revenue away from residents and onto visitors. Supervisors are narrowing the scope to avoid burdening smaller businesses and keep the county appealing to tourists, with a

A troubling shift is unfolding at the Department of Defense, as Secretary Hegseth’s leadership appears to be eroding the military’s core values by promoting a narrow, partisan vision of masculinity and sidelining diverse voices—especially women and minorities. This move prioritizes ideological conformity over competence, threatening innovation, morale, and strategic adaptability.

Trump’s “golden fleet” of battleships is spiraling out of control—costs have ballooned to $275 billion for 15 ships, with the first alone hitting $23.4 billion, eight times over initial estimates. Nuclear power and design overruns are driving the spike, while construction could take eight years instead of two and a half.
