Homelessness Surged Under Biden, HUD Report Reveals


The results of the November election were driven in large part by a growing sense among Americans that the country is moving in the wrong direction under the current leadership.

A new federal agency report shines a light on one key metric in which that is clearly the case.

As the Associated Press reports, officials from President Joe Biden’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) revealed on Friday that the nation witnessed an 18.1% increase in homelessness in 2024 alone.

The number surged to 770,000 individuals lacking a place to live.

The 2024 figures are alarming, particularly given that they build on a disturbing trend that was already underway during the prior year.

Breitbart noted that the aforementioned rise in homelessness over the past year comes in the wake of an additional 12% increase seen in 2023.

The outlet added that the exacerbation of the problem during Biden’s time in office was not a natural or inevitable progression, given that reductions in homelessness were seen during the period between 2010 to 2017.

However, those reductions stopped in recent years, leading to the largest uptick in numbers since this statistic was first measured in 2007.

As the AP explained, the official tally of 770,000 homeless individuals likely represents something of an undercount, given that it fails to include people currently residing with friends or family due to their lack of a residence of their own.

Casting further shadows on Biden’s tenure when it comes to the problem of homelessness is the fact that the increase seen in 2023 included a significant share of individuals entering this unfortunate group for the first time in their lives, with black Americans overrepresented among the unhoused.

The Associated Press indicated that the growth in homelessness during the last two years of the Biden administration was due, in part, to a lack of affordable housing stock along with natural disasters that displaced more Americans than in the recent past.

However, the HUD report also acknowledged another key driver of the increase, namely, the pressure on housing caused by an influx in immigration.

The agency noted in its assessment:

“Some communities reported data to HUD that indicated that the rise in overall homelessness was a result of their work to shelter a rising number of asylum seekers coming into their communities.”

HUD added, “Migration had a particularly notable impact on family homelessness, which rose 39% from 2023-2024.

“In the 13 communities that reported being affected by migration, family homelessness more than doubled.”

Democrat-led cities that have touted “sanctuary” status were especially hard hit, with the AP noting:

“Among the most concerning trends was a nearly 40% rise in family homelessness – one of the areas that was most affected by the arrival of migrants in big cities.

“Family homelessness more than doubled in 13 communities impacted by migrants including Denver, Chicago, and New York City.

According to Robert Marbut, Jr., who once served as the executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, the roughly 33% increase in the problem since Biden took office is “disgraceful.”

Marbut suggests a renewed focus on “treatment of substance abuse and mental illness” and to reinstate job training requirements for those seeking help.

HUD’s Adrianne Todman said upon release of the agency’s report that “no American should face homelessness, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to ensuring every family has access to the affordable, safe, and quality housing they deserve.”

However, it is increasingly clear that the current president’s policies have only succeeded in undermining that goal.

WEF Doctor Warns 'Bird Flu' Will Kill 52% of Humans, Demands mRNA 'Vaccine' Rollout Before Trump Sworn In


A doctor and former health official has claimed that an outbreak of “bird flu” will kill 52 percent of the population and called on the Biden administration to begin rolling out a mass vaccination campaign before President Donald Trump is sworn in next month.

Former Baltimore health commissioner Dr. Leana Wen, who serves as one of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Young Global Leaders,” is calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue an emergency authorization to rapidly roll out mRNA “vaccines” for “bird flu.”

Wen is urging President Biden to use his executive authority to order the FDA to authorize the “vaccine” and expand rapid testing for “bird flu.”

She argues that the plan needs to be ushered in before President Trump takes office.

In an appearance on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” Sunday, Wen claimed that the Biden admin should take steps to prepare for a possible animal-to-human outbreak of avian influenza (H5N1).

“Dr. Wen, is bird flu in humans super dangerous?” host Major Garrett asked.

Wen responded by claiming that “the mortality rate is 52%,” according to “World Health Organization estimates.”

She made the call following reports that a patient in Louisiana contracted the virus earlier this month.

“It’s one more sign that the drumbeat of bird flu coming closer to humans is becoming a major threat,” Wen said.

“So, we’ve already seen this year that there have been a number of mammalian species close to humans that now have bird flu outbreaks.

“We have outbreaks in poultry in all 50 states.

“16 states have outbreaks in cattle.

“In California, in the last 30 days, there have been more than 300 herds that tested positive, and now we have 66 cases of bird flu in humans, and this is almost certainly a significant undercount because we have not been doing nearly enough testing.”

“So, we really don’t know the extent of bird flu that’s out there in humans,” she continued.

“But this particular case, it’s someone who is severely ill.

“But not only that, researchers have isolated the virus in this individual who is sick in Louisiana, and they found that this particular strain of the virus appears to have acquired mutations that make it more likely to bind to airway receptors.”

Wen continued by arguing that the Biden admin needs to expand rapid testing for the virus and order the FDA to quickly approve the H5N1 mRNA “vaccine” for public use to prevent another pandemic.

“I feel like we should have learned our lesson from Covid that just because we aren’t testing, it doesn’t mean that the virus isn’t there,” she said.

“It just means that we aren’t looking for it.

“We should be having rapid tests, home tests, available to all farm workers, to their families, for the clinicians taking care of them, so that we aren’t waiting for public labs and CDC labs to tell us what’s bird flu or not.”

Wen stressed that the FDA must approve the H5N1 vaccine so that 5 million doses of it can be quickly administered to the “vulnerable” population before Trump takes office.

“And the second very important thing is this is not like the beginning of Covid, where we were dealing with a new virus, we didn’t have a vaccine,” Wen explained.

“There actually is a vaccine developed already against H5N1.”

“The Biden administration has contracted with manufacturers to make almost 5 million doses of the vaccine.

“However, they have not asked the FDA to authorize the vaccine.

“There’s research done on it,” she claimed.

“They could get this authorized now, and also get the vaccine out so- and to farm workers and to vulnerable people.”

Wen added that Biden needs to move quickly on these efforts.

She explained that the Trump administration may not want to authorize new “vaccines” given the massive outcry over the experimental Covid mRNA injections.

“I think that’s the right approach because we don’t know what the Trump administration is going to be doing around bird flu,” she said.

“If they have people coming in with anti-vaccine stances, could they hold up vaccine authorization?

“If they don’t want to know how much bird flu is out there, could they withhold testing?

“I mean, that’s a possibility, and I think the Biden administration in the remaining days should get testing and vaccines widely available so that at least it empowers state and local health officials and clinicians to do the right thing for their patients.”

She frequently appeared on corporate media TV shows to promote prolonged shutdowns of schools and businesses, vaccine mandates, and punishments for the unvaccinated.

Her concerns that the Trump administration may not go along with the rushed distribution of new bird flu “vaccines” are not unwarranted.

In June, Trump’s now-nominee Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. floated the possibility that H5N1, like COVID-19, was engineered in a biological lab.

“With so much money on the table, is it conceivable that someone might deliberately release a bioengineered bird flu?” Kennedy wrote in a post on X.

“When this kind of gain-of-function research is going on, accidental or deliberate leaks are inevitable.”

Meanwhile, the FDA has already given the green light to advance a new “self-amplifying” mRNA “vaccine” for “bird flu.”

The new “vaccine” is being developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, a Bill Gates-funded company specializing in mRNA-based pharmaceuticals.

Last month, Arcturus quietly announced that the FDA approved the company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application for its ARCT-2304 “vaccine.”

ARCT-2304 is a self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) injection targeting the H5N1 avian influenza “bird flu” virus.

The “self-amplifying” or “replicon” mRNA shots contain the equipment needed to make more of itself once it enters cells.

The injections have been dubbed “replicon” vaccines because they are able to replicate inside the human body to produce more mRNA over time.

The new technology has provoked a worldwide backlash from experts and concerned citizens.

Japan has just approved the rollout of Covid “replicon” mRNA “vaccines” for public use.

However, Japanese citizens have been raising the alarm over fears they are being used as guinea pigs ahead of a global rollout of the injections.

Top Cardiologist Raises Alarm: Current 'Bird Flu' Strain Was 'Man-Made' in U.S Biolab


Blogger Comment: Typical WEF 'mouthpiece comes on that is a Young WEF Young Global Leaders (see bottom area of this blog) and also a former President of 'Planned Parenthood' (and we know what they are about and it is not saving babies that's for sure from insider whistle-blowers over the decades and what they are really doing) who wants to keep the money flowing in for her masters the WEF and totally ignore what the last 4 years has told us about these deadly vaccines...but money is all that the WEF folk think of and loads of it..NOT humanity and saving lives wit their Lies...period

A world-renowned cardiologist is raising the alarm after uncovering evidence that the current strain of “bird flu” is “man-made” and was developed in an American biolab using dangerous “gain-of-function” research.

The warning was issued by Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the world’s leading medical experts.

During an appearance on InfoWars, McCullough warned that the current strain of “bird flu” – H5N1 – is a “man-made problem” that was developed in Georgia.

McCullough explains that a peer-reviewed study  traced the origins of the strain to the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory (SEPRL) in Athens, GA.

Researchers believe the gain-of-function research is also tied to the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

According to McCullough, the gain-of-function research sought to modify “bird flu” to allow it to jump to humans and spread through the general public.

“Bird flu, or H5N1 influenza, has been around for over a hundred years,” McCullough noted on InfoWars.

“It’s well documented in the scientific literature in the United States.

“This most recent outbreak, which is now four years old, […] the current strain of bird flu, is a product of gain-of-function research done in the USDA Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia.

“So, it is a man-made problem that our farms are experiencing right now.”

McCullough continues by explaining that the U.S. federal government has been trying to modify the virus so it can spread rapidly through humans and other animals.

“The stated goal of the USDA in doing this research was simply to get it to jump from chickens into mallard ducks,” he explains.

“And that way, it can spread all over.”

McCullough then called on President Donald Trump’s incoming administration to crack down on supposedly illegal gain-of-function research.

“So it’s a bad line of thinking to continue to do gain-of-function research,” he said.

“And, I hope, under the new administration, one of the very first steps taken by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the CDC… would be to do an all-out ban on gain-of-function research, certainly in U.S. labs and our funding of what happens outside of the United States.

“Because we know it’s not just the government that funds this research but also the Gates Foundation, [and] many other pro-vaccine foundations are ramping up gain-of-function research.

“Even in the initial spending bill that the U.S. House of Representatives had, that [Speaker] Mike Johnson initially presented, there were 12 more U.S. biolabs proposed.”

The warning from McCullough comes as the  corporate media and pharmaceutical industry virologists continue to hype “bird flu.”

Last week, KFF Health News published a report claiming that the U.S. government’s failure to contain bird flu outbreaks among cattle could soon lead to an even worse pandemic than COVID-19.

The report cites numerous public health experts and government officials sounding the alarm about the likelihood that Americans may have to deal with another, even deadlier, pandemic if health agencies can’t properly address bird flu outbreaks occurring in cattle and poultry farms.

“To understand how the bird flu got out of hand, KFF Health News interviewed nearly 70 government officials, farmers and farmworkers, and researchers with expertise in virology, pandemics, veterinary medicine, and more,” the outlet reported.

The report quoted Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, who warned:

“We are in a terrible situation and going into a worse situation.

“I don’t know if the bird flu will become a pandemic, but if it does, we are screwed.”

The report continued by accusing the Biden administration of being “sluggish” in responding to the bird flu outbreaks.

However, the reasoning behind the sudden rush for fearmongering about bird flu is becoming clear.

As Slay News reported, a prominent doctor and former health official is calling on the Biden administration to begin rolling out a mass vaccination campaign before President Donald Trump is sworn in next month.

Former Baltimore health commissioner Dr. Leana Wen, who serves as one of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Young Global Leaders,” has claimed that an outbreak of “bird flu” will kill 52 percent of the population.

Dr. Wen is calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue an emergency authorization to rapidly roll out mRNA “vaccines” for “bird flu.”

Wen is urging President Biden to use his executive authority to order the FDA to authorize the “vaccine” and expand rapid testing for “bird flu.”

She argues that the plan needs to be ushered in before President Trump takes office.

In an appearance on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” Sunday, Wen claimed that the Biden admin should take steps to prepare for a possible animal-to-human outbreak of avian influenza (H5N1).

Wen argues that the Biden admin needs to expand rapid testing for the virus and order the FDA to quickly approve the H5N1 mRNA “vaccine” for public use to prevent another pandemic.

She stressed that the FDA must approve the H5N1 vaccine so that 5 million doses of it can be quickly administered to the “vulnerable” population before Trump takes office.

Meanwhile, the sudden claims tying the “next pandemic” to the incoming administration are raising concerns that the “bird flu” narrative is largely a media effort to gin up hysteria and set up Trump for another public health crisis as he’s set to be sworn into office in just a few weeks.

The Washington Examiner said Monday:

“President-elect Donald Trump is likely to struggle with the outbreak of bird flu, or H5N1, among livestock and wildlife in the United States, which experts are concerned could become a threat to humans should the spread of the virus not be contained.”

Biden Vetos New Judgeship Bill Before Trump's Return



President Joe Biden faced a wave of criticism after he vetoed the JUDGES Act.

The piece of legislation intended to create 66 new federal judgeships to alleviate pressing caseloads nationwide.

The decision sparked outrage from federal judiciary leaders and lawmakers.

Despite initially enjoying bipartisan support, the bill was seen as offering nomination benefits to President Donald Trump.

Biden’s veto of the JUDGES Act prompted significant controversy and debate, as stakeholders expressed dissatisfaction with his decision, as reported by the Hill.

The move halts a bill that promised to bring judicial relief across 13 U.S. states.

The plan was to introduce the new judgeships in multiple stages until 2035.

Among the judgeships, around 24 would fall under the nominating authority of Trump, a situation criticized by opponents who believed it rushed for the benefit of the incoming administration.

The proposal had enjoyed unanimous approval from Democrats in the Senate back in August.

However, it encountered delays in the Republican-controlled House, where it wasn’t put to a vote until after Trump’s election win.

Ultimately, the House passed it with a vote count of 236 to 173, with most Democrats opposing the measure.

President Biden, defending his decision, indicated the bill wasn’t primarily addressing caseload issues and critiqued it as a hastily assembled piece of work in the waning weeks of the 118th Congress.

He questioned the swiftness with which the House moved without resolving critical ambiguities in the legislation.

The JUDGES Act emerged in response to a dramatic rise in pending federal civil cases, which have increased by 346% over the past two decades.

As of March, approximately 82,000 cases were awaiting attention, according to data from the federal judiciary.

The Judicial Conference originally put forth the recommendation for new judgeships to Congress, leading to the introduction of the JUDGES Act.

Federal judiciary advocates had tirelessly lobbied for Biden’s endorsement of the legislation, even after the elections.

Groups like the Federal Judges Association and several judicial organizations supported the bill, emphasizing the need for more judges to ensure efficient justice administration.

Among Biden’s sternest critics was Judge Robert Conrad, who expressed profound disappointment with the veto.

He considered the additional judgeships crucial for maintaining functional justice delivery.

Conrad strongly contested Biden’s claim of the bill’s haphazard construction, noting it was the result of deliberate, detailed analyses focusing on per-judge caseloads and contributions of senior and magistrate judges.

“The President’s veto marks a significant deviation from historical practices where new judgeships benefited sitting presidents,” Conrad remarked.

He added that Biden’s decision leaned against the legislative groundwork Biden himself supported during his Senate tenure.

Gabe Roth added to the chorus of dissatisfaction, labeling Biden’s decision as an “embarrassing” conclusion to an otherwise impactful reshaping of the judiciary over the past four years.

Sen. Todd Young accused Biden of engaging in partisan politics, contrasting his enthusiasm for assisting family members with due process against the backdrop of ordinary Americans awaiting judicial relief.

Biden’s veto, while controversial, is grounded in his belief that the legislation needed more scrutiny and careful construction.

His action underscores the complex interplay of political priorities and judicial necessities, setting a challenging precedent for future judicial reforms.

For now, the fate of the JUDGES Act remains uncertain, as the judiciary and its advocates continue to push for solutions to alleviate the federal caseload crisis, which remains a pressing concern for efficient and effective justice in America.
