Mortgage rates higher for third straight week, with 30-year at 6.44%, market survey finds

By Breck Dumas  | Fox Business Mortgage rates continued their upward climb this week, further hindering demand in the housing market amid elevated rates and high home prices. Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, released Thursday, showed that the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage surged to 6.44% from last week's reading of 6.32%. The average rate on a 30-year loan was 7.63% a year ago. "The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased for the third consecutive week, moving closer to 6.5%," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

St. Onge: Inflation rising is awkward for Chairman Powell, nightmare for Kamala Harris

By Peter St. Onge, Commentary | Daily Signal Inflation is rising again, and even Federal Reserve cheerleader Bloomberg is worried the Fed is losing the plot. Inflation rising is awkward for the Fed, given Chairman Jerome Powell already cut rates for the looming recession. In fact, he just did a jumbo half-point cut—which makes inflation go up. This is known as a policy error. And the Fed’s been making a lot these days.

Election win odds sour further on Harris after Fox interview

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner Vice President Kamala Harris did not win over election gamblers, who drove her chances of victory down further. Among two of the largest election gambling aggregate sites, former President Donald Trump now holds his biggest advantage in weeks. Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, made a comment on X that echoed many suggesting that Harris did little to expand her base. “Did Harris realize she was supposed to be picking up new voters? Because that’s not what she did,” he wrote. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Tren de Aragua seizes four apartment complexes in major Texas city in new show of strength

By  Maryann Martinez | Daily Mail A dangerous Venezuelan gang has taken over at least four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas, as it expands its reach in yet another America city, DailyMail.com can reveal. Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known to run drug smuggling, child prostitution and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the US in recent years amid a wave of Venezuelan migrants.  The tattooed mobsters have since unleashed a wave of crime across the country from Miami and Texas to Denver and New York.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY MAIL

Donald Trump vows executive action to keep men off female sports teams

By Katherine Hamilton | Breitbart Former President Donald Trump vowed to “just ban it” when questioned at a town hall for women that aired on Wednesday about keeping men from playing on female sports teams and entering female spaces. The all-women town hall was held in the battleground state of Georgia and aired at 11:00 a.m. on Fox News’s “The Faulkner Focus.” The second question for the former president was about men who claim to be transgender and identify as women playing on female sports teams and entering female spaces, such as locker rooms. When host Harris Faulkner asked the women in attendance how many “are worried about biological men and boys competing against women and girls in sports,” every hand in the audience went up. Then a woman with nine grandchildren,...

Biden-Harris ultimatum to Israel: Improve dire Gaza conditions or risk losing aid

By Jake Smith | Daily Signal The Biden-Harris administration is warning Israel that if it does not improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, it will risk losing military aid, according to multiple reports. The Palestinians in Gaza have been caught in the crossfire in the war between Israel and Hamas, the latter of which invaded Israel on Oct. 7 and killed approximately 1,200 people. Though the U.S. has been largely supportive of Israel’s efforts to destroy Hamas, it has become seriously concerned with the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and it seems the Biden-Harris administration may be reaching a breaking point with the Israeli government over military aid, according to several reports. Secretary of State Antony B...

Millions in tax dollars went toward programs taught by those fanning flames of anti-Israel protests

By Jaryn Crouson | Daily Caller Professors connected to anti-Israel protests head programs that received millions of taxpayer dollars, according to a report released Wednesday by government transparency group Open The Books. The Department of Education has spent $283 million on foreign studies grants since 2020, with over $22.1 million going towards programs studying the Middle East, Open The Books found. The study analyzed the top three grant recipients, Indiana University, Columbia University and Georgetown University, and found that each highlighted anti-Israel professors as distinguished staff in their programs. “These universities all have multibillion dollar endowments,” Amber Todoroff, deputy policy editor at Open The Books, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “They...

Purnell: Four years after ‘laptop from hell’ coverup, media election interference is worse than ever

By Elle Purnell | Commentary, The Federalist Four years ago this week, the corporate press helped airlift Joe Biden to the White House by blacking out coverage of his international pay-for-play scandal, after the New York Post discovered evidence of the scandal on an abandoned Biden laptop. The press reaction ranged from refusing entirely to cover the story because it was a “waste of time” to only covering it insofar as outlets could cast doubt on its legitimacy. After the election, polling would show that 1 in 6 Biden voters would have changed their vote had they known about some of the stories suppressed by the media, including the Hunter Biden laptop story. It was the most infamous, though not the only, instance of journalists interferi...

Protesters insist Kellogg remove artificial dyes from cereals like Froot Loops, just like in Canada

By Greg Wehner | Fox Business Dozens of protesters rallied at WK Kellogg Co. headquarters in Battle Creek, Michigan, on Tuesday, calling on the company to remove artificial dyes from cereals sold in the U.S., according to reports. As the maker of some of America’s favorite cereals – like Froot Loops and Apple Jacks – Kellogg said nearly a decade ago it would take artificial colors and ingredients out of its products by 2018. In Canada, though, Kellogg uses concentrated carrot juice, watermelon juice, huito juice and blueberry juice to color Froot Loops, the company's Canadian site shows. But in the U.S., Kellogg continues to use artificial colors and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), which according to WebMD is a lab-made chemical added to foods as a preservative....

Growth of Obama-era foster care policy unmasks transgender orthodoxy’s inherent threat to parental rights

By Tyler O'Neil  | Daily Signal A groundbreaking new report from The Daily Caller exposes the backstory behind the Biden-Harris administration’s regulation on foster care rules for children who identify as LGBTQ, and underscores the inherent threat that transgender orthodoxy poses to the parental rights of moms and dads who reject the idea that children can be “born in the wrong body.” In April, the Administration for Children and Families at the Department of Health and Human Services released a final rule for agencies to fully implement on or before Oct. 1, 2026. The HHS agency’s first released a version of the rule in September 2023, and updated it in response to public comment. Katelynn Richardson and Megan Brock, writing for The Daily Caller, reporte...
