Secretary Turner: ‘American Houses Are
for American People’

Original Article

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner believes that by cracking down on illegal immigration, he could help bring the American dream of home ownership within the reach of U.S. citizens again. Unsurprisingly, the mass surge of more than 10 million illegal aliens who entered the USA under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris caused a serious housing crisis in the United States, both for renters and for buyers. Housing prices shot up like Hunter Biden high on Parmesan cheese. Hence Turner is certain that by assisting other departments in the Trump administration to crack down on illegal immigration, he will be helping Americans achieve greater affordability and choice in housing.

I get calls and letters now just about every week from “people” who claim that they want to purchase our one family house for cash with no questions asked. Once asked for a price they are willing to pay, they usually make a “low ball” cash offer that is away below the true sale value of our house. The reason they do that is to lease out the houses that they purchase at a lease price that is more than the mortgage fees that they pay on the house, with the people who thereafter lease such a house effectively gaining no equity via the lease fees or rent fees that they pay indefinitely, instead it is the people who purchase one family houses like that and then lease them to other people gaining all the equity and ending up owning the house and continuing to lease or rent it. You can only imagine how much money the people or groups are making as they lease or rent out big numbers of what are supposed to be one family homes.

Back in around 2005 Prince William County VA was inundated with illegals. So much so that Bank of America had signs in the bank in Spanish talking about the ability to get a mortgage for no money down regardless of citizenship. It started in Manassas Park which was an area of small cape cod houses built in the 1960s. The houses were purchased and the illegals started to convert them into multi-dwelling homes by adding on to them. All of a sudden the homes were like boarding houses and we even began to see vendors with push carts just like the one's in Mexico on the streets. Then it moved into other neighborhoods including mine. The house next door was sold for $410,000 to an illegal who had a family and was a nice guy. He then turned the entire downstairs of his split level into separate rooms that he rented out to young guys who spoke only Spanish. This went on through the entire area and house prices rose drastically. Then one day the Republicans who controlled the county passed legislation that made it harder for the illegals to get free services and rent out rooms. Overnight (literally) the illegals began to move out and go to neighboring Fairfax County. The price of real estate dropped like a rock because 1 in 10 houses was in foreclosure. How could these illegals just abandon their properties? Well it turns out that they were getting mortgage loans for over 100% of their property sale prices and they were offering more than the houses were selling for with the provision that the seller paid all of their closing costs. So they had no money in the properties and didn't lose anything when they moved out. That house next door that sold for $410,000 sat vacant for almost a year and someone finally bought it for $179,000 from the bank. It took years for the neighborhood to recover. I sold my house in $2010 for $275,000 and it was larger than the one next door and much nicer. This is the problem with allowing illegals to move onto the US and to compete with Americans especially while giving them advantages over Americans because of the stupid notion that we must welcome these poor underprivileged people.

Nick Shirley is back, this time exposing large-scale Medicare fraud involving senior centers for elderly Koreans and Chinese. It’s another video that’s nearly an hour long, which he posted in full here: “Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give kickbacks to those who enroll,” Shirley wrote. A circulating clip shows Shirley confronting an employee at a center in Flushing, where he is presented with some hard numbers about the facility. Shirley asked him whether there were more than 7,000 members at this center, and he flatly denied it.

NASA is looking for four volunteers to spend a year living and working in a simulated deep-space mission designed to help prepare astronauts for future trips to the Moon and Mars. The agency announced it is recruiting participants for the first Moon and Mars Exploration Analog (MMEA) mission, which is scheduled to begin no earlier than August 2027 at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The yearlong study will place crew members in isolated, confined environments that simulate interplanetary travel and planetary surface operations. Researchers will study how participants adapt to the physical and psychological demands of long-duration missions while testing technologies and procedures that could support future human exploration.
DHS Creates 'Deportation Airline' to Carry-Out

Under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the Department of Homeland Security will launch a new “deportation airline” in order to carry out deportation flights on a round-the-clock basis. In order to carry out the monumental task of mass deportations, DHS has procured a fleet of two Gulfstream 550s and six Boeing 737-700s at the cost of $140 million. The government fleet will allow for DHS to have autonomy in carrying out their own deportation logistics rather than having to rely on chartered flight with independent contractors. The news of the new fleet comes as ICE has surged their arrest and deportation operations.

If one wanted to assemble a laundry list of things you could do to destroy any confidence the public ever had in the election process, one could hardly do any better than to look to California for a model. The once-Golden State's elections are already a hot mess, approaching - never mind that, attaining banana republic level. Now, they're about to make things an order of magnitude dumber. California is now recruiting teenagers as young as 16 for poll workers, able to issue ballots, assist voters, and operate election equipment, and more. Here's the real kicker: These teens don't even have to be citizens. Independent journalist Natalie Winters has the details

Iran out of patience? A defensive Mayor Zohran Mamdani tried to downplay his international affairs commissioner’s boneheaded attempted meeting with the anti-US Iranian ambassador — as he faced heat from aghast GOP lawmakers Friday. Mamdani said he never knew about Commissioner Ana Maria Archila’s scheduled — and thwarted — confab this week with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, until he received a press inquiry about it. He repeatedly stressed the sitdown never took place and chalked it up to a scheduling snafu. “The commissioner recognizes that this was made in error and we’re working on a new process

The rate at which Islam is growing in the United States is alarming because of the totalitarian nature of the political, social, economic, and religious doctrines of Islam. Mosques are appearing everywhere, even in the reddest of red states. They have increased by over 30% since 2010. Islamic communities that support Sharia law are popping up in numerous states, and most shockingly, in Arkansas under Governor Sanders. The Islamic Center of Little Rock states on its website that its movement began in 1979 with just a couple of dozen Muslim families in the area. They started out by converting an old theater into their first mosque. They also met

Pappas, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, is married to Vann Bentley, a policy manager for cybersecurity and privacy at Uber who previously worked as a lobbyist for Amazon, according to his LinkedIn profile. That poses a potential conflict of interest for Pappas because of Uber's aggressive lobbying activity, including on bills spearheaded by the transportation committee.

Bored kids with nothing much to do this summer just got a big gift from Virginia Democrats – starting about 10 days ago, they've apparently been able to legally purchase marijuana. And that's because the Democrats who run the General Assembly, and the one who occupies the Governor's Mansion, passed and signed a budget last month that rescinded all criminal law pertaining to the sale of marijuana effective July 1, 2026. The only problem is the new laws they crafted regulating the weed market don't go into effect until July 1, 2027, per their budget. That leaves an entire year of marijuana mayhem in ye olde Commonwealth.

Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle filed lawsuits against New Hampshire's ban on males competing on female sports teams, and in 2024, they amended their complaint to include a challenge to Trump's executive order last year that aimed to protect females from having to compete against males in sports, the Associated Press reported. A federal judge had granted a court order that allowed the boys to compete against girls while the case proceeded.

I bet Gaza could use the tourist dollars, and apparently a lot of the aid money was looted by Hamas, and fancy nightclubs are springing up on the Strip.

The aircraft, which President Donald Trump accepted as a gift from Qatar, entered service last week and has already been used for official travel. According to the newspaper, the subpoenas require the journalists to appear before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Jack Peterson, who worked as a conductor for the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA), which operates the Incline Railway, made the comments during a July 4 ride. In a statement captured on video, which went viral on social media, Peterson wished “the very, very few Americans” on board a happy Independence Day.

We've seen the fraudsters at work, in places like Minnesota, Washington state, and others across the country, who were allowed to run wild under Biden and state-based Democrats, getting caught in the act stealing millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars meant to support the most needy and vulnerable among us. Now, a new video has gone viral with the latest expose on Medicare fraud in yet another blue state. As we've previously written, the Trump administration continues to crack down on criminals, wherever the fraud investigations expose them, with its new strategy - and the money returning to the federal coffers is astounding.
