Four years after the pandemic-era housing boom, the real-estate market continues to face instability. With ongoing affordability challenges exacerbated by high interest rates and inflated home values, housing is a major concern for Americans across the political spectrum. In a Tuesday interview with Fox News, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance shared his perspective on the root causes of the nation's high home prices and rents. "When I talk to Americans, one of the biggest concerns I hear is, 'Why are housing costs so high?' I'll give you two reasons: First, there are 20 million illegal aliens who shouldn't be...

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order on Wednesday with the goal of establishing better election integrity in the state. The order calls for the exclusion of “noncitizens,” whom many refer to as foreign nationals or illegal aliens, while establishing better procedures to prosecute them. Executive Order 35, which was issued by Youngkin’s office, codifies election integrity in the state through a number of measures. These include improved voter machine testing, stricter ballot security protocols, and voter-list maintenance that fully detects and eliminates noncitizens from the voter registers. The action expands on his administration’s past attempts to maintain election...

Regular aspirin may help lower risk of colorectal cancer in people with greater lifestyle-related risk factors for the disease, according to a study. For the study, researchers analyzed the health data from 107,655 participants from the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. They compared the colorectal cancer rates in those who took aspirin regularly with those who did not take aspirin regularly. Regular aspirin use was defined as either two or more standard dose (325 mg) tablets per week or daily low-dose (81 mg) aspirin. Study participants were followed starting from an average age of 49.4 years. Those...

A new paper shows how an amino acid may hold the secrets of oral cancers. Upper aerodigestive squamous cell carcinoma is a common and aggressive malignancy—it attacks more than half a million people each year, leaving them battling fatal tumors in the airways of the head and neck. Even with so many individuals impacted, there are few effective therapeutic options. Assistant Professor Dechen Lin may just have a solution. New research shows that a pathway of a particular amino acid may be critical in shutting down the growth and proliferation of oral cancers, and a specific diet could be a...

He reminded the obvious of Trump's actions, such as moving the embassy to Jerusalem, he added about his cutting aid without Amna mentioning Palestinian Authority 'Pay for Slay' bloody problem, of course.As is typical, he cited the ICJ to "affirm" his propaganda.

Walz had a blood alcohol concentration of .128 at the time of the incident, according to a court transcript. Gov. Tim Walz has said in past campaigns that he wasn’t actually drunk when he was pulled over for driving under the influence in 1995, but a court transcript from the case tells a different story. Walz was working as a teacher in Alliance, Neb., his home state, when he was pulled over Sept. 23, 1995 for going 96 mph in a 55-mph zone. “A strong odor of alcoholic beverage was detected emitting from Mr. Walz[‘s] breath and person,” says a...

A group of 18 House Republicans asked House Speaker Mike Johnson to not pursue a wholesale repeal of subsidies contained in President Joe Biden’s signature climate law on Wednesday. The lawmakers wrote to Johnson to urge him to not repeal energy sector-wide tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), especially those that have already spurred ongoing development across the country. The IRA became law in 2022 without a single Republican vote, and while the lawmakers said they believe the law is “deeply flawed”….

Tim Walz’s stolen valor scandal is growing. Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced she chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. Immediately after Walz was introduced as Kamala’s running mate, a video of him falsely claiming to be a combat veteran surfaced. Walz’s stolen valor scandal is only getting worse and he refuses to answer questions from the press. A 2007 video of Tim Walz falsely claiming he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom has surfaced. “I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of...

A new report from NPR shows that Democrats have actually started to embrace the “Tampon Tim” nickname for Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz despite its discomforting connotations. After Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Tim Walz (D) as her running mate in the 2024 election, Republicans immediately seized upon legislation he signed into law in his state that called for tampons to be placed in both girl and boy bathrooms in schools. Since boys do not menstruate, Republicans coined the nickname. As Breitbart News reported:
