Wait till this picks up steam and watch US home building costs skyrocket
Canadian lumber moves to Europe. Once Canada diverts up to 1bn board feet of lumber annually, the US “may feel the supply crunch it appears to be creating”, argued Doman. It would take time to establish confidence in Canadian lumber among British and other European consumers.

Jason Russell, Vice President at NEO Home Loans: "A 50-year mortgage is a tax on people who are bad at math."
On a $300,000 loan at 6.25%:
30-year = $1,847/month, $364,920 in interest and
50-year = $1,520/month, $612,000 in interest.
That’s a $327 lower payment … but $247,000 MORE interest.

#RepFinstad has been a bitter disappointment for #MN01 #Veterans.
Case in point - on 09/08/2023, he authored #HR5365 Mankato Vet Center Lease Authorization Act which was ignored by his colleagues
So on 08/01/2025, he re-introduced it as #HR4794 and still has ZERO cosponsors and no committee action

Trump raping teenagers is too much for @startribune.com & @mprnews.org to report, even though they now have proof. One Republican billionaire family owns both, so of course they won't say the truth
Also it’s bizarre to report this as “Epstein alleging Trump knew of his conduct.” Seems like the more notable thing is that Trump was engaging in that conduct.
Why did [VICTIM] spend hours at Epstein’s house with Trump? Was he giving her a piano lesson?
