50 year mortgages will not improve affordability. Buying a house at 30 and still owing at 80 is insane. The only people that benefit are the banks.

No. 467 ranked Junior Golfer Kai Trump has received a exemption to make her LPGA tour debut.
I thought they wanted to make women's sports fair? Sounds to me like there are a few hundred young women more deserving of the spot. I guess DEI is ok when the inclusion is nepotism?

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”
Amazing that all it costs to get a foreign airbase belonging to a terrorist funding country inside the USA is a used jet and a golf course.

This man is running health and human services.
You could honestly pick, completely at random, any first year medical resident, and give them the job and they would be vastly more qualified.

Please, if you must buy balloons, especially mylar, please make sure they don't fly away and are disposed of properly. I've cleaned up way too many over the years, and can only imagine many land in areas where few humans tread.

It's more than a little insane that in a period of weeks we've gone from Trump selling Teslas on the lawn of the Whitehouse and having Musk in cabinet meetings, to this.
