Redfin report shows Gen Z buying homes younger than millennials or Gen X

By Rachel Wingrat | Denver7 DENVER — New data from Zillow shows the median earner in Denver would need a $44,000 raise to afford a mortgage on a home. It's just the latest statistic that shows how hard it can be to buy a house. But Gen Z seems to be defying the data. According to a recent report from Redfin, Gen Z is actually outpacing millennials and Gen X when it comes to homeownership, compared to when those other generations were the same age. Denver7 spoke with Elizabeth Million, with Elevation Credit Union, about how this is possible when homes seem so unaffordable. "They definitely do their research, which is fantastic," Million said. "The Gen Z segment, they're okay to move or drive as far as it takes to find affordable homes." So Million said, that mi...

Ortiz: Powell must act—BBB unlocked the door, now unleash Main Street

By Alfredo Ortiz | Commentary, Breitbart American small businesses scored a major victory with this month’s passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, which locked in lower taxes and restored key tax breaks. However, the nation’s job creators are still operating with one hand tied behind their backs due to the ongoing high-interest rate environment. The Federal Reserve is working at cross purposes with policymakers trying to unleash growth. At its July meeting next week, the Fed has the opportunity to change course and align monetary policy with fiscal policy to support small business dynamism. It should move swiftly to meaningfully cut interest rates and begin restoring affordable access to credit for America’s small business backbone. Rather than being data-dependent, Fed C...

Schlichter: No amnesty, no compromise, no surrender

By Kurt Schlichter | Commentary, Townhall There is cringe, and then there is the DIGNITY Act. It’s one of those stupid bills whose authors turn its title into a stupid acronym, but this latest amnesty proposal doesn’t make an acronym out of “DIGNITY”; fittingly, it makes it out of the Spanish word “DIGNIDAD” (Dignity) and stands for “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream.” We should ignite it all right, and deliver it to be used as a suppository, not just because of that idiocy, but because there’s so much more to hate. Basically, it’s a free ride for illegal aliens in exchange for enforcement that will never happen as soon as Democrats or a soft Republican takeover, another of those “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburge...

‘Treasonous conspiracy’: Obama officials pushed fake Trump-Russia narrative

By Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart The Obama administration’s top officials committed a “treasonous conspiracy” by manufacturing and politicizing intelligence to create the false narrative that led to the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe, according to newly-declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard. Announcing that “Americans will finally learn the truth” about shady actions taken by senior officials in former President Barack Obama’s National Security Council (NSC), Gabbard dropped damning documents that showed how they laid the groundwork for “what was essentially a years-long coup” against President Donald Trump: Despite the intelligence community’s consensus that Russia “lacked the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections” p...

Hanson: The world woke up—and the left’s illusions shattered

By Victor David Hanson | Townhall In less than six months, the entire world has been turned upside down. There is no longer such a thing as conventional wisdom or the status quo. The unthinkable has become the banal. Take illegal immigration -- remember the 10,000 daily illegal entries under former President Joe Biden? Recall the only solution was supposedly "comprehensive immigration reform"--a euphemism for mass amnesties. Now, there is no such thing as daily new illegal immigration. It simply disappeared with common-sense enforcement of existing immigration laws -- and a new president. How about the 40,000-50,000 shortfall in military recruitment? Remember all the causes that the generals cited for their inability to enlist soldiers: generational gangs, obesity, dru...

Montana may approve 500-wolf hunt in effort to restore big game herds

By Mark Heinz | Cowboy State Daily Montana is considering setting a wolf kill quota of 500 for the 2025-2026 wolf seasons, nearly half of its wolf population. It would allow hunters and trappers to take as many as 15 wolves each.  Montana is considering setting a wolf kill quota of 500 for the 2025-2026 wolf seasons, allowing hunters and trappers to take as many as 15 wolves each.  If hunters and trappers fill the quota, it would cut Montana’s wolf population roughly in half, leaving about 550 of the predators, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) reports.  Some argue that’s extreme overkill and indicates that Montana is trying to eradicate wolves. Others claim it’s sound predator management, and 550 wolves would still be more than enough to keep them from being re-...

Bedford: The conservative revolution has finally arrived—and we’re not tired of winning

By Christopher Bedford | Commentary, The Blaze The fire rises If you spend an inordinate amount of time online — doomscrolling, podcast-hopping, and trading theories with your pals on Signal — you might be fixated on every twist in the Jeffrey Epstein saga. Or maybe you’ve convinced yourself that the transgender sports fight doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of American politics. That would be a serious mistake. Conservatives are finally acting like revolutionaries, while prominent Democrat mayors are screeching and sobbing in the streets. You’d be missing the most significant conservative revolution Washington has seen in decades — maybe ever. Start with sports. The right’s victory in pushing back transgender ideology on this front marks a turning point. Not just...

Gabbard: New evidence shows ‘treasonous conspiracy’ by Obama officials to manufacture Trump-Russia claims

By Brooke Singman | Fox News 'There was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government," Gabbard said EXCLUSIVE: The Obama administration "manufactured and politicized intelligence" to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned.  On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents revealing "overwhelming evidence" that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump–R...

No to CBDCs, yes to dollar-backed crypto: Trump signs GENIUS Act

By Ross O'Keefe | Washington Examiner https://www.youtube.com/live/iRPsG-Nxko4?feature=shared President Donald Trump is signing the GENIUS Act, which will regulate stablecoin cryptocurrencies, whose values are pegged to the U.S. dollar, at around 2:30 p.m. Friday. Trump needed to convince about a dozen Republicans to vote for the bill after they stalled it due to certain provisions not included in the bill, namely, the lack of a ban on central bank digital currency. They agreed to vote for it after the president’s intervention. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
