The median home buyer is 59 years old.
That may sound like a shocking statistic, but it’s part of a trend.
In 2020, the median home buyer was 47 years old, which at the time was also an all-time high.

Here’s another shocking statistic:
The median down payment on a house in 2025 for first time homebuyers surpassed $40,000

Zur Populationsregulation wird das nicht beitragen, weil die Geburtenrate bei Jagddruck steigt. Ziel sind lediglich einzelne P…

When DHS, USCIS, and DOGE announced the overhaul of the SAVE program,
they explicitly linked the effort to a campaign to combat the “taint” of noncitizen voter fraud,
a long-standing claim tied to the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

This move poses serious risks to vo…

DHS, USCIS, DOGE Overhaul Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Database | Homeland Security
