Hear ye! Hear ye! The New Jersey Renaissance Faire begins its 16th glorious season this May with an exciting new storyline: “Pirate's Revenge!” It's the 1700s, with the Golden Age of Piracy approaching its peak, and King George of England, seeing his own navy outmatched by these ambitious cutthroats, has made a risky deal. Whomever swears loyalty to the crown of England may continue their piracy as a “privateer.” Whilst this offer is compelling, the clemency it offers comes with a steep price of strict rules, and requires payments to the royal crown. ENTERTAINMENT This season’s story focuses on Mary Read, a fearsome pirate in her own right.

But as an engine of government savings, DOGE still has substantial untapped potential. That's because it hasn't yet addressed the fraud crippling one of the federal government's largest programs: Medicare. In fiscal year 2023 alone, "improper payments" in Medicare eclipsed $50 billion.

The legacy of Medicare after 60 years is one of relentless growth -- both in the number of beneficiaries and in spending. Medicare expenditures now exceed $1 trillion annually. But the program's growth has only weakened its ability to effectively oversee its finances -- creating a fat target for scam artists who calculate their odds of... Read more →
