Good Morning, it’s Saturday, November 15th, 2025.

VANCE CALLS OUT HOUSING SABOTAGE
What You Need to Know:
Vice President JD Vance just dropped a truth bomb: housing isn’t unaffordable because of bad luck — it’s because Biden dumped 30 million illegal immigrants into the U.S. and let them compete with Americans for homes.
Why It Matters:
It’s not just bad policy — it’s generational theft.
First-time buyers are locked out of the market while illegals flood in.
The Biden administration knew this would spike housing prices — and did it anyway.
The Real Story:
Speaking at the Make America Healthy Again summit and later on Fox News with Hannity, JD Vance didn’t mince words:
“We flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants… who are taking houses that ought by right to go to American citizens.”
He’s not wrong — and the receipts are everywhere:
A 2025 Danish study found that just a 1% immigration spike increases rents by 6% and home prices by 11%.
Congressional testimony last year revealed a 5% immigrant surge raises rents for U.S.-born families by 12%.
Meanwhile, under Biden, home prices hit a record 7.8x median income — a historic high.
Vance says the Trump administration is now reversing course by:
Slashing illegal immigration through interior enforcement.
Making it easier for builders to put up new housing stock.
Boosting wages and jobs to outpace inflation.
And it’s working. Early numbers from Redfin show housing supply finally ticking upward in red states enforcing deportations.
This isn’t just about real estate — it’s about the suffocation of middle-class America by design. Young families aren’t skipping homeownership by choice. They’ve been priced out by policies that favor global migration over national stability.
What They Don’t Want You To See:
“A 5-percentage-point increase in the recent immigrant share of a metro area’s population is associated with a 12-percent increase in the average U.S.-born household’s rent.”
— Congressional Testimony, Center for Immigration Studies
Bottom Line:
JD Vance just said what every millennial and Gen Z house hunter already knows: Biden broke the housing market — not Wall Street. It’s immigration, stupid. And Trump-Vance 2025 is coming with the receipts, the bulldozers, and the eviction notices.
MOB RULE IN CHICAGO: ANTIFA VS. ICE
Protest turns violent as leftist agitators injure officers outside detention center.
An anti-ICE protest outside a Chicago-area detention facility erupted into chaos Friday as over 300 far-left activists clashed with law enforcement, breaching barriers and leaving four officers injured — including a state trooper and Cook County sheriff’s deputy.
The left has been rallying weekly outside the Broadview ICE facility ever since Trump launched Operation Midway Blitz — a sweeping interior crackdown aimed at deporting criminal illegals and clearing sanctuary cities.
But this time, it wasn’t just chants and cardboard signs.
21 protesters were arrested after shoving past police lines and blocking access to the facility.
Cops were caught on camera wrestling agitators back behind barricades.
Mayor Katrina Thompson said, “They chose their fists over free speech.”
Even the Department of Homeland Security weighed in, dropping fire on X:
“Womp womp, cry all you want. These criminal illegal aliens aren’t getting released.”
“Get a job, you imbecilic morons.”
Border Czar Tom Homan didn’t hold back either:
“You can protest all you want, but you put hands on law enforcement — you’re going to jail.”
Bottom Line:
The same crowd that screams “defund ICE” just tried to storm a federal facility — and got smacked down. The Trump-Vance crackdown isn’t just working. It’s driving the left absolutely feral.

DID TRUMP TURN IN EPSTEIN?
New email suggests Trump helped the feds — not Epstein.
Democrats thought they were dropping a nuke when they released the Epstein emails this week. But instead of burning Trump, they may have accidentally confirmed one of the biggest rumors in DC: Trump was the FBI informant who turned Epstein in.
Yep. That “dog that hasn’t barked”? Turns out it was Trump — biting back.
Here’s what surfaced:
In a newly revealed email, Epstein writes:
“That dog that hasn’t barked is Trump… I’m 75% there.”
That lines up with what Speaker Mike Johnson blurted out earlier this year:
“He was an FBI informant…” (and immediately walked it back)
Even Trump-hater journalist Michael Wolff confirmed Epstein believed Trump tipped off police — and it “turned them into bitter enemies.”
Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago early on. The left’s favorite sex trafficker couldn’t figure out why — now we know. Trump was working behind the scenes to bring him down while elites kept flying to Pedo Island.
Bottom Line:
They tried to catch Trump in a scandal — and instead revealed he may have helped expose the biggest child predator in modern history. Oops. Not exactly the headline the Democrats had in mind.

They told you it was just the economy. Or bad zoning laws. Or greedy developers. But now it’s clear: housing prices didn’t explode by accident — they were engineered. The same Democrats who sold out your border also sold out your block.
JD Vance said the quiet part loud. And the more truth this America First administration exposes, the louder the left screams. Good. That means it’s working.
History will say 2025 was the year the tide turned — because America finally fought back.

P.S. Here’s my take: The real scandal isn’t that Epstein was protected — it’s that Trump might’ve been the one trying to stop him while the elites looked the other way. If that’s true, and the left knew it, releasing those emails wasn’t just a mistake — it was a confession.
What do you think? Was Trump the whistleblower in a world full of creeps? Hit reply — I want to hear your take.
Don’t Read It Secondhand.
