Sleeper Story of the Year 2025

“Deep down we want a deeper state”

Buried somewhere deep down under the mountain of chaotic distractions being reported around Donny and his DOGE boys was this deeply disturbing under-reported news story about how, “the Trump Administration is expanding its partnership with Palantir.

Runners Up: “No! No! No! DO NOT Show Me [or anyone] the Money”

Lost in all of the shock and awful emanating from America’s Too Rich to Reveal Taxpayer-in-Chief’s sharpiness this year, was his quiet but early decision to no longer require American companies to reveal the names of their true owners to the U.S. Treasury Department. That Corporate Transparency Act requirement was designed to allow law enforcement to combat dirty money, drug cartels, and money-laundering.
