Housing advocates warn GOP spending plan would be ‘disastrous’

Housing advocates are raising the alarm about House Republicans’ plan to dramatically cut the federal deficit to raise the debt ceiling, warning rental aid would be stripped from hundreds of thousands of struggling families who could face eviction and possible homelessness at a time when rents remain high.

House Republicans narrowly passed a sweeping measure last month that would roll back non-defense spending to 2022 levels — a proposal the National Low Income Housing Coalition said would slash housing and homelessness programs by 23%, a significant blow to the Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance program that around 2.3 million families rely on to cover rent.

“House Republicans’ plan would have drastic negative impacts on communities’ abilities to address homelessness and the housing crisis,” Diane Yentel, the coalition’s CEO and president, told The Associated Press. “If these proposals were enacted, it would mean communities would have to take away housing assistance from people who already have it, and need it.”

Trump on Freedom Convoy: ‘Mandates Are Very, Very Bad — You Can Push People So Far’

During Saturday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Fox & Friends Weekend,” former President Donald Trump reacted to the so-called Freedom Convoy protests underway throughout Canada.

Trump touted vaccine efforts but criticized mandates.

He also warned that despite the protests taking place in Canada, the situation in the United States was “far more of a tinderbox.”

“People all over the world are watching, and they have respect for what they are doing,” he said. “They’re tired of being pushed around by incompetent people, being told what to do, being forced with the mandates. The mandates should have not happened. I’m very proud of Warp Speed. Everybody has given us credit. Nobody thought it was possible to do what we did. And that includes therapeutics by the way Regeneron and the various therapeutics that worked so well.”

“But what we did with Warp Speed was great,” Trump continued. “But the mandates are very, very bad — very, very bad. And I think there’s a lot of respect for what they are doing. I see they have Trump signs all over the place, and I’m proud that they do. But that’s what happens. You can push people so far. And our country is a tinderbox, too. Don’t kid yourself. And there are plenty of our country up there right now, folks. When you look at what’s happening — when you look at what’s happening in Canada. Our country, I think, is far more of a tinderbox than Canada.”

ALERT: Senator (49) Targeting ‘Dangerous and Deadly’ Vaccine ‘Misinformation’ Suffers Stroke (Video)

RAIR is hopeful that Senator Ben Ray Lujan will make a speedy recovery and can use his position to bring awareness to the potential side effects of the controversial mRNA gene therapies.

New Mexico Senator Ben Ray Lujan has suffered a stroke at age 49. Lujan was one of the first residents of the state to receive the experimental Covid “vaccine.” The Senator has been a massive advocate for the controversial shots and boosters, including for children who have a negligible risk from the illness but are shown to suffer potential severe side effects. He has also led the Democratic charge to silence anyone reporting on or questioning the safety of the experimental injections.

After a devastating breakup and years without physical intimacy, Rod* made the bold move to purchase a $2064 sex doll named Karina.

The Aussie carpenter from rural New South Wales had been left “frozen” in a state of loneliness in 2021 when he ordered Karina online after searching for sexual stimulation tools.

Despite having zero knowledge about sex dolls, the 54-year-old said Karina “changed his life in many ways” and finally gave him something to care for.

“The doll became by synthetic physical companion,” Rod told Mamamia.

“Slowly my heart opened up, and I was distracted from my grief of losing my ex [fiance] that just wouldn’t go away by itself.”
