Homeowners are sitting on a negative equity timebomb after losing $108.4 billion on their property values this year, experts say. The average borrower saw their home equity plummet by $5,400 in the first quarter of 2023 compared to last year - with households in Washington, California and Utah worst affected. And if prices tumble by 5 percent more than 200,000 households could be at risk of falling into negative equity - otherwise known as 'going underwater' on their home loans.

law, warn Americans to watch out for Democrat deception 3 replies
ATLANTA – House Republicans have introduced a bill aimed at securing election integrity across the country while also issuing a stark warning to Americans to watch out for possible Democrat deception surrounding the legislation.
Five Republican members of the Committee on House Administration (CHA) held a press conference at the famous Marietta Diner near Atlanta on Monday to officially roll out the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act, something they say will give states the tools they need to not only protect the integrity of their elections, but also restore voter confidence in the elections process.
The bill includes a photo ID requirement to cast a federal election ballot, bars non-citizens
Grand jurors who will consider charges against President Trump in Georgia will be selected on Tuesday.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently said she will announce this summer whether she will charge Trump with crimes in the investigation into Trump’s effort to challenge Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.
Fani Willis told the Fulton County Sheriff to prepare for increased security at the Fulton County Courthouse between July 11 and September 1.
It appears Willis is expecting the grand jury to unseal indictments against Trump in August.
Donald Trump's lawyers want to delay his trial in the classified doc case for an undetermined amount of time and suggest the case might not be ready until after the 2024 presidential election.
The former president's lawyers asked the Florida judge late Monday night to give them more time before his trial on allegations of mishandling the docs, arguing the unprecedented case requires 'a measured consideration and timeline.'
An initial trial date was set by Judge Aileen Cannon of August 14. Prosecutors then asked for that date to be pushed to December, to give Trump's legal team the time needed to get the required security clearances.
United States Attorney David Weiss admitted the FBI informant form alleging the Biden family bribes is part of an ongoing investigation.
According to House Oversight Committee Republicans who reviewed the bureau’s FD-1023 form, an FBI informant claims to possess two pieces of evidence that show President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden received $5 million each from Mykola Zlochevsky after Joe Biden threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine until a prosecutor was fired.A source familiar with the FBI’s informant document confirmed to Breitbart News that Hunter and Joe Biden allegedly “coerced” the Burisma executive into paying them $10 million in bribes.
Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) has officially voiced support for two major impeachment initiatives from his GOP colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives, Breitbart News has learned.
Rosendale’s office confirmed to Breitbart News that he supports efforts to impeach Democrat President Joe Biden. His office also confirmed that he backs the measure from Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to expunge both of former President Donald Trump’s impeachments.“Rep. Rosendale supports both of these efforts,” Rosendale’s adviser Aashka Varma told Breitbart News on Monday

And the White House refuses to provide much insight into the growing scandal.The White House press team refuses to say whether or not the cocaine belonged to Joe or Hunter Biden, citing campaign law.

What You Need To Know. 2 replies
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf is a central figure in the investigation into Hunter Biden and is alleged to have stymied investigators and aided the Biden family.
Wolf is the subject of a letter Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, sent to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, David Weiss, on Sunday. Wolf worked directly beneath Weiss on the Department of Justice and IRS probe into Biden’s overseas business dealings and tax affairs.In addition to other allegations about Wolf’s role in the probe, Grassley’s letter revealed an October 2020 briefing that Wolf allegedly received from the Department of Justice and FBI.
Former President Donald Trump ripped into Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds Monday over her decision to stay 'neutral' in the 2024 Republican primary - yet will appear on the campaign trail with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey.
Trump took to Truth social to air his grievances, pointing out how he had endorsed Reynolds during her 2018 gubernatorial run - crediting himself for her ascent - only to have her appear in photo-ops with his political rivals.
Most recently, Reynolds tagged along Thursday when Casey DeSantis launched her 'Mamas for DeSantis' group outside of Des Moines, amid reports that the Iowa governor is over Trump.
The Justice Department briefed federal prosecutors and agents on the team investigating Hunter Biden on a key FBI document containing allegations of a criminal bribery scheme involving Joe Biden in October 2020, but did not invite IRS agents to that briefing, Sen. Chuck Grassley charged.
That accusation was leveled just weeks after IRS whistleblowers alleged that the entire federal investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings was influenced by politics.
The document in question is an FBI-generated FD-1023 form. The form, dated June 30, 2020, reflects the FBI's interview with a "highly credible" confidential source who detailed multiple meetings and conversations
Buried at the end of his letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Monday denying he had asked for Special Counsel status in the Hunter Biden investigation, U.S. Attorney for Delaware David C. Weiss–claiming the matter was part of an “ongoing investigation”–refused to answer Graham’s questions about the FBI FD-1023 Form dated on June 30, 2020 that contains allegations by a highly credible confidential source that around 2015 then Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter were each paid $5 million by a Ukrainian Burisma executive to influence U.S. policy and that recordings of phone calls with the Bidens were made as an insurance policy.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss denied on Monday allegations made by two IRS whistleblowers that he requested special counsel status in his investigation of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter and that he was blocked from bringing charges against the younger Biden in two jurisdictions.
Weiss stated in a letter obtained by Breitbart News to Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) that he neither requested special counsel status from Attorney General Merrick Garland nor was he “denied the authority to bring charges” outside of his local office in Delaware.
House Republicans will finally get a chance to press FBI Director Chris Wray for answers they’ve spent months seeking.
Wray’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday will mark his first appearance at a public hearing since former special counsel John Durham released findings of widespread FBI misconduct in the Russia investigation. It’ll also be his first since multiple whistleblowers from the IRS and FBI have come forward with descriptions of the preferential treatment offered to Hunter Biden.Wray’s FBI has come under fire for everything from political probes to religious liberty infringements.
Facing scrutiny from GOP lawmakers that has included calls for his removal, Wray will come under enormous pressure

Former Vice President Mike Pence remains committed to doling out military aid for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion if he wins the presidency in 2024. He isn’t very good at explaining why voters should agree with him.
The Associated Press interviewed Pence about the “call for limited military assistance to Ukraine” from former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), his top GOP rivals. “With all due respect,” he said, “I think the former president and the governor of Florida just don’t understand Americans’ national interest in supporting the Ukrainian military in repelling the Russian military in Ukraine.”
The dream season for Nikki Hiltz continued on Saturday when the runner took first place in the women’s 1500-meter race at the 2023 USATF Championships.
The surging runner, who identified as transgender nonbinary in 2021, isn’t just winning for them.
They said it was a win for the transgender community, too. “It was awesome,” Hiltz said after the win. “I think there’s so much hate right now, and specifically the bills being passed for trans youth. I feel like the LGBTQ community needed a win and there’s so many things that go through your mind in the race, and for whatever reason that was kind of in the back of my mind.”
Social media went into meltdown after Biden wore Skechers without socks before boarding Air Force One for the NATO summit.
The 80-year-old was dressed in a button down shirt, suit jacket and sleek pants as he approached the plane but he didn't appear to be wearing socks with his slip-on Skechers.
The move left many on social media divided, with hundreds of commenters explaining that the shoes are a breathable material and are meant to be worn without socks. Others said the president could have been wearing no-shows.
President Biden sat down for a recent interview in which he said the United States is low on 155 mm artillery ammunition rounds, sparking outrage and questions of competency from conservatives on social media.
During the interview, which aired Sunday morning, Biden defended his administration for sending cluster munitions to Ukraine as a "transition period" until more munitions are produced.
"This is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it," Biden told CNN's Fareed Zakaria. "And so, what I finally did, I took the recommendation of the Defense Department to – not permanently – but to allow for this transition period
More than a week after the Secret Service discovered cocaine at the White House it appears Americans are no closer to receiving answers on how the illicit drug made its way into one of the most secure areas in the U.S.
What former officials told DailyMail.com is a 'straightforward' investigation has now entered its second week and the White House continues to brush off questions on the incident as President Joe Biden left the country Sunday for meetings in London ahead of the NATO Summit in Lithuania.
The White House evacuated with a hazmat situation last Sunday, July 2 when a uniformed USSS agent found cocaine in a lockbox
On Sunday's NBC Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd took issue with Republicans criticizing Joe Biden for refusing to acknowledge his seventh grandchild who his son and well-known drug addict Hunter had with a stripper out of wedlock. To Todd, the issue was not that the Biden family have shunned to poor little girl that Hunter and the stripper had together, it's Republicans who are the villains of the story in Todd's delusional mind.
"I think we all understand the personal challenge and concern and all of these things that the President has here, but his political foes see this and they're trying to exploit," Todd lashed out

Biden appeared transfixed for a moment when he received a traditional sword salute presenting of arms from an officer of the Guards (snip) leaving Britain’s King Charles having to work to regain the President’s attention. Appearing confused, or even consciously ignoring Charles III, Biden seemed to be trying to engage the guardsman in conversation.
On Monday Joe Biden met with King Charles at Windsor Castle. Joe Biden was visibly struggling to walk with Charles.
The fake news media continues to push the joke that Joe Biden is in charge of the United States.
This is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people. (Tweet/Video) This comes after Joe Biden was spotted shuffling through the sand on the Rehoboth beach in Delaware on Saturday — and nobody cared.
It's been fascinating and at times amusing to watch. The same mainstream media outlets — which propped up Joe Biden in 2020, allowed him to run for the highest office in the land from his basement, helped engage in an operation to block and debunk Hunter Biden's very real laptop from hell, and then repeated White House spin about inflation, Afghanistan and other crises — are now reporting on how much of a mess we've all known Biden always was.The New York Times has twice in one week run pieces raking Biden over the coals for denying the existence of his young granddaughter in Arkansas
Many factors have contributed to the downfall of America’s schools. One rarely discussed issue is the disproportionate praise heaped on the teaching industry, which has led teachers to believe the scope of their influence ought to extend beyond the teaching of facts and figures. As a society, we have praised teachers to the extent that even mild criticism of the profession is met with a chorus of boos. “My sister is a teacher!”
When discussing widespread problems in the profession, instead of presenting an actual argument, those who reflexively defend the industry will often mention having friends or relatives who are teachers, as if this anecdotal tidbit is a meaningful response.
Native American groups are now joining the call for reparations centuries after hundreds of tribes had land taken from them by 'land-grab universities and colleges.'
An estimated 10.7 million acres of land was taken from 250 tribes following the signing of the Morrill Act by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862.
This law converted tribal lands into initial sites for land-grant higher education institutions in many states. Institutions such as the University of Minnesota, which received 94,440 acres of land, and Cornell University in New York that received more than 987,000 acres are being targeted. Cornell, in total, received land in 15 states -
