JD Vance, ‘30 Million Illegals’ Are Driving Up Your Rent

Vice President JD Vance is sounding the alarm over what he calls the devastating impact of mass illegal immigration on America’s housing market. Speaking in a recent interview, Vance claimed that skyrocketing rent and home prices are being directly fueled by the massive influx of illegal immigrants under the Biden administration.

Vance warned that young Americans are being priced out of homeownership and long-term stability due to an overwhelmed housing market, which he argues is no longer able to meet the needs of citizens. “Housing is way too expensive,” Vance said. “Why? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who are taking houses that should go to American citizens.”

The vice president explained that the issue is twofold: the nation was already building too few homes, and now those homes must be shared with millions of non-citizens. He outlined the Trump administration’s dual plan to fix the issue: ramp up interior enforcement to remove illegal immigrants and streamline the process for building new homes.

He emphasized that under Trump’s economic policies, more Americans were able to afford homes and enjoy higher wages. “We’re making it easier to build homes and factories, creating better jobs, and we’re deporting illegal aliens. You’re already seeing that it’s starting to work,” Vance stated.

Vance also framed immigration as a major driver of America’s affordability crisis, saying it affects not just housing, but wages, jobs, and access to opportunity. He argued that reducing immigration is essential to creating an economy where Americans—not foreign nationals—have a chance to succeed.

Multiple recent studies have shown a connection between mass immigration and rising home and rental prices, echoing the concerns Vance raised. With the housing crisis top of mind for many Americans, the Trump campaign is clearly making it a centerpiece of their economic pitch.

China Fumes as US Approves Defense Sale to Taiwan

The United States agreed to a $330 million deal to provide Taiwan with fighter jet parts, prompting backlash from China.

“The proposed sale will improve the recipient’s capability to meet current and future threats by maintaining the operational readiness of the recipient’s fleet of F-16, C-130,” and other aircraft, the Pentagon said in a statement.

Taiwan’s presidential office spokesperson Karen Kuo said the deal marks the “deepening of the Taiwan-U.S. security partnership” and “is an important cornerstone of peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.”

“Taiwan will stand firm with like-minded democratic friends and allies to deter the expansion of authoritarianism, defend the values of freedom and democracy, work to maintain the status quo, and ensure regional peace, stability, prosperity, and development,” the statement added.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian condemned the move, saying it “seriously violates the one-China principle” and “gravely infringes on China’s sovereignty and security interests, breaches international law, and sends a grave and erroneous signal to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces,” as per a report from the Global Times.

Last month, Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te said that the country will construct a multi-layered air defense system called the “T-Dome” to defend itself against increasing threats from China.

“The increase in defense spending has a purpose; it is a clear necessity to counter enemy threats and a driving force for developing our defense industries,” he said, going on to list Taiwan’s “three major goals.”

“First, we will accelerate our building of the T-Dome, establish a rigorous air defense system in Taiwan with multi-layered defense, high-level detection, and effective interception, and weave a safety net for Taiwan to protect the lives and property of citizens,” Lai said. “Second, we will advance the integration of high-tech and AI technologies to build a smart defense combat system, maximizing effective deterrence for our asymmetric strategy.”

The strategy comes as Taiwan has faced ongoing pressure from China.

Nevada Court Reignites 2020 Electors Case Days After Trump Pardons

The Nevada Supreme Court reopened the 2020 alternative electors case following President Trump’s pardon of those involved.

In a 6-0 decision, the Nevada Supreme Court revived the case, overruling a lower court’s decision.

“We conclude that venue was properly laid in Clark County because the offenses charged were not complete upon mailing but rather necessarily involved the receipt of the certificates at the location to which they were mailed,” Justice Lidia Stiglich wrote for the court. “Respondents do not dispute that the certificates were delivered to a recipient in Clark County. The district court erred in concluding that the alleged crimes were complete upon mailing from Douglas County. We therefore reverse and remand.”

Last year, Judge Mary Kay Holthus dismissed the case.

“Today the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed what we have maintained all along — that Clark County is the proper and lawful venue to prosecute our case, and I am pleased with the court’s decision to overturn the District Court’s dismissal of our case in Clark County,” Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford said in a statement obtained by KLAS 8 News Now. “The 2020 fake electors cannot evade accountability in Nevada for their unlawful actions. As attorney general, it is my duty to hold those who sought to undermine the results of our state’s free and fair election responsible. With this ruling, we will return to the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County and continue our work to ensure that justice is served.”

The development comes days after President Trump issued sweeping pardons to “United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any State or State official, in connection with the 2020 Presidential Election, as well for any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.”

$85 Billion Mega-Rail Deal Reshapes America’s Supply Chain

Union Pacific shareholders approved an $85 billion merger with Norfolk Southern. Nearly all of the votes cast by shareholders (99.5%) approved the deal.

“We appreciate our shareholders’ support in reaching this important milestone on our path to building America’s first coast-to-coast railroad,” said Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena. “Our shareholders see the value and understand this merger will unlock new opportunities to enhance service, growth and innovation. We look forward to filing our application with the Surface Transportation Board (STB) and detailing how the transaction will provide seamless, single-line service across the country to improve transit times, safely increase reliability and strengthen the competitiveness of U.S rail.”

In July, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced an effort to create “America’s first transcontinental railroad” from coast to coast. 

The companies will “seamlessly connect over 50,000 route miles across 43 states from the East Coast to the West Coast, linking approximately 100 ports and nearly every corner of North America,” a press release explained. The effort will “transform” the U.S. supply chain, the companies said, as well as “unleash the industrial strength of American manufacturing, and create new sources of economic growth and workforce opportunity that preserves union jobs.”

Under the agreement, Union Pacific would acquire Norfolk Southern in a “stock and cash transaction,” valuing Norfolk Southern at $320 per share and representing a 25% premium to Norfolk Southern’s 30-trading-day volume. “The value per share implies an enterprise value of $85 billion for Norfolk Southern, resulting in the creation of a combined enterprise of over $250 billion,” the companies explained.

Leading Federally-Funded University Announces Free Tuition

Johns Hopkins University (JHU) announced that it would be offering free tuition for undergraduate students whose families earn less than $200,000 a year. It will waive both tuition and housing costs for families making less than $100,000.

“Trying to understand financial aid offers can be overwhelming,” said David Phillips, vice provost for admissions and financial aid at JHU. “A big goal here is to simplify the process. We especially want to reach students and families from disadvantaged backgrounds, rural locations, and small towns across America who may not know that a Hopkins degree is within reach.”

JHU President Ron Daniels told the university community that the aid will support the recruitment of the “best and brightest students to Johns Hopkins irrespective of their financial wherewithal.” He urged those in the community to share the “significant news with all outstanding students who are interested in pursuing a Johns Hopkins education, and with their families who want to see them reap the lifelong benefits of higher education.”

The development comes as Michael R. Bloomberg made a $1.8 billion gift to the school in 2018.

Johns Hopkins University also receives the most federal funds for research and development. According to fiscal year 2023 data, the university received $3.32 billion, a number 2.8 times higher than the next-highest university, USAFacts explained. Of the billions of dollars received, 43% went to engineering, and 27% went to life sciences. Another 30% was split between other research and development programs.

Other schools receiving research and development funds include University of Washington, Seattle ($1.19B); the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, GA) ($1.08B); and University of California, San Diego ($1.08B); and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor ($1.04B).

Child Rescue Operation Exposes Biden’s Border Failure

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched an initiative with law enforcement partners to protect the hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children smuggled over the border under the Biden administration.

The partnership, called the UAC Safety Verification Initiative, seeks to combat the exploitation of children by conducting welfare checks. Florida’s law enforcement partners rolled out the program on November 10.

“Secretary Noem is leading efforts to rescue and stop the exploitation of the 450,000 unaccompanied children the Biden administration lost or placed with unvetted sponsors,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “Many of the children who came across the border unaccompanied were allowed to be placed with sponsors who were smugglers and sex traffickers. The Trump administration has located more than 24,400 of these children in-person, in the United States, through visits and door knocks.”

“We’ve jump-started our efforts to rescue children who were victims of sex and labor trafficking by working with our state and local law enforcement partners to locate these children,” she continued. “President Trump and Secretary Noem are laser-focused on protecting children and will continue to work with federal, state, and local law enforcement to reunite children with their families.”

Earlier this year, law enforcement agencies’ efforts to safeguard children led to the discovery of sponsors possessing child sex abuse materials, forced child labor, and neglect. They found that children were being placed with sponsors with criminal records.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) previously found more than 65,000 abuse reports concerning unaccompanied migrant children. Grassley wrote in a May letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that an inspector general report found that “HHS was not only responsible for failing to adequately vet sponsors, but also failed under the Biden Administration to provide necessary information to law enforcement at DHS to help them find and protect children, and get them into immigration proceedings.”

Trump Apunta Al Círculo Cercano De Epstein

El presidente Trump dijo que instruirá al Departamento de Justicia a investigar a individuos y entidades afiliadas a Jeffrey Epstein.

“Ahora que los demócratas están usando la farsa de Epstein, que involucra a demócratas, no a republicanos, para desviar la atención de su desastroso Cierre del Gobierno y todos sus otros fracasos, pediré a la fiscal general Pam Bondi y al Departamento de Justicia, junto con nuestros grandes patriotas del FBI, que investiguen la implicación y relación de Jeffrey Epstein con Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, y muchas otras personas e instituciones, para determinar qué estaba pasando con ellos y con él,” escribió Trump en Truth Social. “¡Esto es otra estafa de Rusia, Rusia, Rusia, con todas las flechas apuntando a los demócratas. Los registros muestran que estos hombres, y muchos otros, pasaron grandes partes de su vida con Epstein y en su ‘Isla.’ ¡Manténganse atentos!”

El hecho ocurre mientras los demócratas del Comité de Supervisión de la Cámara publicaron correos electrónicos que alegan que el presidente Trump estaba al tanto de las actividades de Epstein.

En otra declaración en Truth Social, Trump afirmó que los demócratas están “haciendo todo lo posible para revivir la farsa de Epstein, a pesar de que el DOJ publicó 50,000 páginas de documentos, con el fin de desviar la atención de todas sus malas políticas y derrotas, especialmente el VERGONZOSO CIERRE DEL GOBIERNO, donde su partido está en total desorden y no sabe qué hacer.”

Escribió también que los “republicanos débiles” han “caído en sus garras porque son blandos y tontos.”

“¡Epstein era demócrata, y es problema de los demócratas, no de los republicanos!” afirmó Trump. “Pregúntenle a Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman y Larry Summers sobre Epstein, ellos saben todo acerca de él, no pierdan tiempo con Trump. ¡Tengo un país que dirigir!”

La secretaria de prensa de la Casa Blanca, Karoline Leavitt, dijo esta semana que los demócratas “filtraron selectivamente correos electrónicos a los medios liberales para crear una narrativa falsa y difamar al presidente Trump. La ‘víctima no identificada’ mencionada en estos correos es la fallecida Virginia Giuffre, quien reiteradamente dijo que el presidente Trump no estuvo involucrado en ningún acto indebido y que ‘no podría haber sido más amable’ con ella en sus limitadas interacciones.”

El presidente Trump detalló lo que podría ser su próximo proyecto de renovación durante una entrevista con Laura Ingraham de Fox News.

Hablando sobre el Edificio Ejecutivo Eisenhower (EEOB), Trump dijo: “Cuando se construyó ese edificio, la gente lo consideraba realmente feo, y lo miré – y algunas otras personas [lo miraron] – y es uno de los edificios más hermosos jamás construidos.”

El presidente tiene la intención de refrescar la pintura del edificio, explicando que eso resaltará su “detalle” y destacará sus características.

“Todo es pintura. La mayor parte es pintura. Es limpieza, repunte y pintura. También necesita otros trabajos,” dijo Trump.

El EEOB fue construido originalmente para los Departamentos de Estado, Guerra y Marina entre 1871 y 1888, según el sitio web de la Administración de Servicios Generales (GSA). “La Marina superó su espacio y se fue en 1918. El Departamento de Guerra superó su espacio y se fue en 1938. El Departamento de Estado se mudó en 1947,” detalla la página. “En 1949, el edificio se convirtió en el Edificio Ejecutivo para identificar mejor a sus ocupantes, la Oficina del Presupuesto y el personal de la Casa Blanca.”

El mes pasado, el presidente Trump anunció que se había renovado el Baño Lincoln.

“Renové el Baño Lincoln en la Casa Blanca. Fue renovado en la década de 1940 con un estilo de azulejo verde art déco, totalmente inapropiado para la época de Lincoln,” escribió Trump en Truth Social. “Lo hice en mármol pulido blanco y negro. Esto es muy apropiado para la época de Abraham Lincoln y, de hecho, ¡podría ser el mármol que estaba originalmente allí!”

También hay un proyecto de salón de baile en marcha en la Casa Blanca.

El gigante alimentario PepsiCo anunció que algunos de sus snacks más populares tendrán opciones alternativas elaboradas sin sabores ni colorantes artificiales.

PepsiCo lanzó una nueva línea de snacks llamada “Simply NKD”, descrita como una “reinventación de los icónicos sabores de Doritos y Cheetos — ahora elaborados sin sabores ni colorantes artificiales, y completamente incoloros.”

“Pueden estar tranquilos, nuestros icónicos Cheetos y Doritos permanecen sin cambios. NKD es una opción adicional, no un reemplazo, introducida para satisfacer la demanda de los consumidores,” dijo Rachel Ferdinando, CEO de PepsiCo Foods U.S., en un comunicado. “Este movimiento subraya nuestro compromiso con el liderazgo en sabor, demostrando que nuestro gusto sigue siendo fuerte incluso sin señales visuales. Como parte de nuestra transformación más amplia, estamos ampliando las opciones mientras seguimos protegiendo nuestras marcas icónicas. Más opciones, mismo sabor, mismo poder de marca.”

De manera similar, Hernán Tantardini, CMO de PepsiCo Foods U.S., comentó: “Sin color, sin sabores artificiales, misma intensidad — eso es Simply NKD. Doritos y Cheetos están liderando una revolución en los snacks, o un renacimiento, si quieren.”

Tantardini explicó que PepsiCo está “reinventando nuestras marcas icónicas — y más famosas — para ofrecer opciones con los sabores intensos que los fans conocen y aman, ahora reimaginadas sin colores ni sabores artificiales.”

Los sabores Simply NKD de Doritos incluyen Nacho Cheese y Cool Ranch, mientras que las opciones de Cheetos incluyen Puffs y Flamin’ Hot.

Se espera que estos alimentos estén disponibles en tiendas a partir del 1 de diciembre.

A principios de este año, Ramon Laguarta, presidente y CEO de PepsiCo Inc., declaró en una conferencia que la empresa ha estado “liderando la transformación de la industria durante mucho tiempo en la reducción de sodio, reducción de azúcar y mejores grasas.”

Trump Confrontará a los Globalistas del WEF

Presidente Donald Trump asistirá a la reunión anual del Foro Económico Mundial (WEF) en Davos, Suiza, en 2026.

“El Foro Económico Mundial ha invitado a los jefes de gobierno y de Estado del G-20 y de otros países a la Reunión Anual 2026”, dijo el WEF en un comunicado a Bloomberg. “Esto incluye al Presidente Trump. La lista exacta de participantes confirmados se publicará una semana antes del inicio de la Reunión Anual”.

Un funcionario de la Casa Blanca dijo al medio que los planes están sujetos a cambios y no han sido finalizados.

Durante su discurso en video de enero dirigido al WEF, el Presidente Trump criticó la práctica de negar servicios bancarios a los conservadores. En específico, dirigiéndose al director ejecutivo de Bank of America, Brian Moynihan, Trump dijo: “Por cierto, hablando de usted, y usted ha hecho un trabajo fantástico, pero espero que empiece a abrir su banco a los conservadores porque muchos conservadores se han quejado de que los bancos no les permiten hacer negocios dentro del banco y eso incluye un lugar llamado Bank of America”.

“No aceptan negocios conservadores, y no sé si los reguladores ordenaron eso debido a Biden o qué, pero usted y [el director ejecutivo de J.P. Morgan Chase] Jamie [Dimon] y todos, espero que abran sus bancos a los conservadores, porque lo que están haciendo está mal”, dijo.

Trump afirmó además en su mensaje que su administración está “actuando con una velocidad sin precedentes para reparar los desastres que hemos heredado de un grupo totalmente inepto de personas y para resolver cada una de las crisis que enfrenta nuestro país”.

Los líderes del WEF admitieron en enero que “perdieron” ante el Presidente Trump. “Trump ha hecho algo que ninguna persona en el mundo ha hecho jamás. Un hombre muerto, un político muerto, ha resucitado. Hace cuatro años en Davos, estaba enterrado y muerto políticamente. Ahora ha regresado. Este es el mayor regreso en la historia política. Y por eso, piensa que puede hacer cualquier cosa.”
