Across some of the biggest U.S. cities, rent prices are continuing to rise for lower-income Americans. Meanwhile, an estimated 553,000 people experienced homelessness in 2018, according to Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) data.

And a recent Zillow study — which estimated the number of homeless people in America to be closer to 661,000 — found a specific correlation between rent affordability and the rate of homelessness at a certain threshold: “Communities where people spend more than 32 percent of their income on rent can expect a more rapid increase in homelessness.”  Continue reading “Research details the ‘rapid increase in homelessness’ in certain U.S. cities”

It seems that every billionaire in the United States, including our billionaire in chief Trump plays a good tune, but with an out of tune instrument, in his case his mouth. Every goddamn one of them either fights like hell to eliminate the Bill of Rights, or talks a weak act when confronted to talk about it while in public. It’s obvious why, if they fought for common law, they would be broke inside a week.   Continue reading “Where Are The Billionaire True Patriots? – Are There Any?”

WASHINGTON – Tulsi Gabbard, the Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii who announced her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 over the weekend, promised that her campaign will focus on “the issue of war and peace.” This statement alone sets her apart from all of the other candidates who have already announced their intentions for the next presidential race: She is the first, and possibly only, candidate who plans to make foreign and defense policy a central part of her platform.   Continue reading “Tea With Assad, Hugs With Adelson: Tulsi Gabbard’s Unique Views on Israel and the Middle East”

We the undersigned scientists, doctors, environmental organizations and citizens from (__) countries, urgently call for a halt to the deployment of the 5G (fifth generation) wireless network, including 5G from space satellites. 5G will massively increase exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation on top of the 2G, 3G and 4G networks for telecommunications already in place. RF radiation has been proven harmful for humans and the environment. The deployment of 5G constitutes an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law.

Well, it had to happen sooner or later, a Mexican communist infiltrating the United States Congress, nothing new really as Congress is already full of them. This one is different as she is 29 years old, the same age as hundreds of thousands that have snuck into our country illegally, and have been allowed to vote. Now they have a mouth piece, beautiful isn’t it?

You can thank the traitors such as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the rest of the Nazis over at Capitol Hill, because it fits perfectly in their communist agenda, infiltrate at the highest levels to achieve a new world order. This 29 year old so-called congresswoman has achieved the pinnacle of the infiltrators’ dreams and now is posed for Bill of Rights destruction like never seen before. She has the backing of millions of illegal aliens who are aching to get it on, millions of them.   Continue reading “OcasioCortez Who Dis? – A New Party Commie?”

An infectious brain disease that has been killing deer, elk and moose both in the wild and on “captive farms” continues to stalk the land, expanding its domain to 23 states and two Canadian provinces since it was first identified in captive mule deer in a Colorado research facility in 1967.

Known as chronic wasting disease, or CWD, it has baffled scientists for decades. Where did it come from, and why is it spreading across the landscape? What health risks might it pose to humans who eat parts of infected animals? And can cattle get it from infected deer, elk, and moose, thus introducing it into the human food chain?   Continue reading “‘Surprising’ Discovery Made About Chronic Wasting Disease”

The partial government shutdown, hours away from becoming the longest in U.S. history, means that millions of low-income Americans are about to get their February food stamps a few weeks early — an unprecedented payout of billions of dollars in benefits that has states and grocery stores scrambling.

After raising alarm that the food-stamp program could run out of funding for February, the Trump administration announced this week that it had come up with a way to bankroll more than $4.8 billion in benefits next month — with just one catch: Benefits for the nearly 39 million people enrolled in the program must be paid out by Jan. 20, weeks earlier than usual.   Continue reading “Billions in food stamp payments to come early because of shutdown”
