Housing affordability is getting worse:
The annual income required to afford a typical home in the US rose to a whopping $116,600 in February.
This metric has nearly DOUBLED over the last 5 years.
By comparison, the annual income required to rent a typical apartment in the US… pic.twitter.com/KGjpkRmecc

is now $64,200. In other words, one needs to earn 82% more to buy the median-priced home than to rent the typical apartment. 5 years ago, the gap was just 16% or 5 TIMES lower. Buying a home in the US is a luxury.

pressing the Hallmark employee on the phone about this, the employee admits it’s about the “economic climate” (SO A LIE TO MAKE TRUMP LOOK BAD)As she’s handing it to me, she said it’s because of the tariffs. And I said, okay. So I get into the car and I’m thinking to myself, I was like, a tariff is like a tax on imported goods from outside of the country. So I Google where Hallmark manufacturers their sh*t from and it said Kansas, which is in the United States and I was like, okay, so then I call Hallmark. I said, hey, where do you guys make your ornaments and your cards and all your stuff? And she goes, the majority of our things to my knowledge are made in Kansas.
Everything is here made in the United States.” “Everything is made right here in the United States. I said okay so why are you guys raising the prices and not just on some items right like if you had like one or two items that are made and manufactured in other countries and have it shipped here.
Okay cool tariffs are probably gonna affect that and you raise the prices, okay whatever, this this is a generic list for everything (Hallmark is handing out to everyone at their stores)… So you see what I’m saying? It doesn’t… It’s not making sense to me at all.
So she said, listen, They told me, this is what she said, they told me to tell you guys it was… It is because of the climate… Let me get the list. Hold on, let get the word. She calls it an economic climate” Hallmark is being political and trying to turn all their customers against Donald Trump ON A LIE

facing every day. The criminals in these networks use online platforms to target vulnerable kids, coerce victims, and recruit others – often resulting in horrible cases of abuse. It is absolutely tragic – and I want people to know we’re cracking down hard. Remember, last week we announced our agents and partners arrested two alleged leaders within 764. We’ve opened hundreds of cases around the country and our field offices are fully engaged. This is a priority for myself,@FBIDDBongino, and our leadership team. Those who come after America’s children will face justice. We will be relentless in pursuing them. We hope to have more updates very soon. Thank you to our teams and partners who are treating this issue with the gravity it deserves and working around the clock to protect children.

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
"United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is excited to announce a partnership with One America News Network (OAN) to provide newsfeed services to USAGM networks, including Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), Radio Martí, and Voice of America (VOA).
This…— Kari Lake (@KariLake) May 7, 2025
This idea came about after OCB suggested we explore OAN as a newsfeed option for the Miami-based, U.S. Government-funded news operation broadcasting to Cuba. At their suggestion, I reached out to OAN, and they offered to provide their newsfeed and video service free-of-charge. This is an enormous benefit to the American taxpayer, who is the sole-source of funding for USAGM’s news outlets, which broadcast only to international audiences. In my current role as Senior Advisor to USAGM, I don’t have editorial control over the content of VOA and OCB programming, but I can ensure our outlets have reliable and credible options as they work to craft their reporting and news programs. And every day I look for ways to save American taxpayers money. Bringing in OAN as a video/news source does both. OAN is one of the few family-owned American media networks left in the United States. We are grateful for their generosity.” —Statement from Kari Lake, Senior Advisor at USAGM

and they were ordered to do so by the Federal Communications Commission, shows that the “interview” was nothing but fake, corrupt, anti-Trump propaganda. On top of that, in a total slap in the face to anyone who believes in TRUTH and Honest Journalism, this Fake News Puff Piece has now been nominated for an award by the totally discredited Emmys. Did 60 Minutes and its Corporate Parents apply to get an Emmy for an illegally falsified interview, or did other Fake Outlets nominate them for this dubious “honor”? These antics are why the American People have no trust in the Press, and demand that the Media, very much including 60 Minutes, CBS, and its owners, be held responsible for their corruption and lies, which is exactly what we are doing in Court!
Speculation is that this announcement could be regarding anything from geopolitics to health care.
This also comes moments after India began their attack on Pakistan.
We will update once announced.
