Why does buying a home feel more out of reach than ever? According to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck, the answer isn’t corporate greed, mysterious market manipulation, or some hidden conspiracy theory. It’s basic economics and government policy. “Thirty percent of the increase in U.S. home prices from '21 to '24 along with 20% of the rise in rent prices comes from just bringing in seven, 10, 15 million people and just adding them in,” Glenn explains. In Dallas, it put “roughly 30% of the total run-up in home prices and about 20% of the run-up in rents.” “It’s because our local governments along with the federal and state government are completely out of control with regulation, and our federal government just opened up the borders.” “Now, why isn’t that being explained to the American people?” he asks. “It’s not the builders. It’s not the people selling the houses. It’s the government that is the problem,” he says. And while the Biden administration spent four years adding millions of people to the demand side, local and federal governments made it "slower and more expensive to add anything to the supply side." And there are three fixes,” he says. “One, don’t add people to the country faster than you can add roofs to it. ... Two, make it legal to build a cheap house. ... Three, stop borrowing money you didn’t have because the deficit sets the interest rate and the interest rate sets the mortgage,” he continues. Grammy Award-winning singer Carly Simon revealed Monday she has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The You’re So Vain singer, 83, made the revelation of her debilitating health travails in a statement obtained and published by PEOPLE magazine. The singer-songwriter icon also announced she underwent surgery for basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer, amid her Parkinson’s diagnosis and treatment. Her statement got straight to the point: So many people have written to me, kindly wondering about my relative silence, asking how I am and what I have been doing. The truth is, I’ve been learning how to live with Parkinson’s disease. It has taken me some time to understand the diagnosis, to adjust to it, and to decide how much I wanted to say about it publicly. Parkinson’s is different for everyone, and it can be unpredictable. Some days I’m so tired I can’t get the day moving at all. On others, it gives me a little more room to move, think, work, and feel like myself. The singer further confirmed she has purposely remained out of the public eye in recent years as she learned how to live with the disorder. PEOPLE notes the health setback comes as the octogenarian prepares to release Comes in Waves, her first original full-length album since 2008. Simon — who was born in New York City and lives on Martha’s Vineyard — shares two children, daughter Sally, 52, and son Ben, 49, with her first husband, fellow musician James Taylor, 78. Multiple thousands of migrants have streamed onto Spanish territory from Morocco in a matter of days, taking advantage of a new loophole after a Supreme Court ruling that ordered police to stop resisting migrants who came by sea. The local government of Ceuta — a tiny slice of North Africa that is an exclave of Spanish territory otherwise surrounded by Morocco and the Mediterranean — has called on the national government in Madrid to declare a national emergency, deploy the army, and close the border as the city is overwhelmed by an enormous migrant wave. Certainly more than two thousand, with the full number unclear as the surge continues and local law enforcement finds itself unable to cope nor count, are reported to have swam around the small fenced breakwater that demarks the Moroccan and Spanish territorial line. UPDATE 1930 BST — Army Deploys Spanish newspaper El Mundo now states that after days of the border crisis and the Ceuta local authorities begging Madrid for help, the army has now finally deployed. Remarkably, the paper further states that previous estimates of arrivals being in the low thousands may be radically wrong and police sources tell them “some 20,000 people have crossed the Ceuta border”. This extraordinary figure is not yet confirmed by official sources. Until recently migrants who have travelled through Africa to reach Europe have been repulsed by police and border guards at the enormous walls and fences that protect European territory Ceuta. Yet as previously reported, earlier this month the Spanish Supreme Court ruled that it was not lawful for migrants arriving by sea to be turned around and sent away, meaning that even if arrivals had only swam a few yards from neighbouring Morocco, police are legally powerless to stop them. Brexit boss and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage likewise warned that many of these migrants would not hang around in Spain, a comparatively poor European country, and many would soon be making their way towards Britain. Two ransom notes that were sent to 13 News in February were released by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department on Friday. 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her Pima County, Arizona, home on February 1. The first ransom note was addressed to Nancy Guthrie’s daughter, Savannah Guthrie. “Hello Savannah, We have your mother Nancy. She is safe but scared. She will be held for ransom and once payment is received she will be released unharmed. We will be holding her for a maximum of 7 days. You will need to send bitcoin in the amount of $4 million USD before 5PM on Thursday the 5th. If payment is not received, the ransom will be increased to 6 million USD which will need to be paid by 5PM on Monday the 9th.”... “Your mother is aware of this and her life is in your hands..." A second ransom note sent a few days later claimed that Nancy had died and had been buried. “Guthrie Family, We did not fully grasp the seriousness of her physical condition. We never intended to hurt her, that was not our intention. She perished shortly after she was taken. We believe it was heart related. She is buried in nature now. Nothing you could have done could have changed the outcome. We want your family to know this and hope you all can find peace. We are truly sorry,” the note read. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/nancy-guthrie-died-shortly-after-she-was-taken/ Several European leaders made open calls on Thursday and Friday for their countries to expel Spain from of the EU’s Schengen open-borders area in response to the dramatic illegal migrant wave storming the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa bordering Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea with about 85,000 inhabitants, is enduring its worst migrant crisis in recent times after tens of thousands swarmed the territory over the past two days, causing the widespread collapse of the enclave’s border control. About 49,000 migrants reportedly stormed into the Spanish enclave over the past hours. At least 34 people have been reported dead in Ceuta at press time. As Breitbart News reported, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that Italy will not “stand by and watch” unprepared. As such, Meloni stressed that her government is considering suspending the Schengen Area agreement with Spain and taking other extraordinary measures to defend its borders and the safety of Italian citizens. The Schengen Area is a visa-free travel zone within the European Union’s member states. Since then, other European leaders and politicians have called upon their respective countries to take similar actions and protect their borders. In the Netherlands, Dutch Party for Freedom leader and Breitbart News contributor Geert Wilders called for his country to immediately close its borders and demanded Spain to be expelled from the Schengen agreement altogether. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, in a written statement shared with the television channel TV2 and the news agency Ritzau, reportedly said that the European Union should consider suspending Spain from the Schengen Area to avoid a repeat of Europe’s 2015 migrant crisis. Similarly, Finnish interior Minister Mari Rantanen expressed her support for Giorgia Meloni’s proposal to suspend Spain from the Schengen Area and stressed, “this cannot continue.” In France, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez reportedly affirmed during an interview on Friday morning that his country has reinforced its shared borders with Spain and has control of the area....
