BREAKING: Trump Plans on Firing Fed Chair Powell—Mortgage Rates Set to Plunge 3% to Fix Housing Collapse
President Donald J. Trump threw the markets into turmoil early Wednesday when he fired Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of “criminal negligence for wrecking the housing market.” Trump picked seasoned Wall Street executive John Allison to succeed Powell, charging him with the immediate task of cutting interest rates by 300 basis points to stop the bleeding and jump-start the housing sector.
Real-estate analysts now forecast mortgage rates collapsing from 8.25% to 5.25% by late September—a rapid descent unseen since the first COVID wave. The White House is selling the plan as the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a major stimulus to jump-start approvals, break-ground ceremonies, and first-time buyer ownership. Skeptics warn that the bond market may recoil violently as the Fed’s balance sheet swells to absorb the fallout.
Mortgage and Housing Crisis: Foreclosures Race Up as Layoffs and Bankruptcies Spread
Mortgage lenders and real estate brokerages across the U.S. are locking doors and trimming teams because high interest rates, inflation, and stricter credit checks have slammed the brakes on home buying.
Companies like Redfin, Zillow Home Loans, and LoanDepot are said to be weighing bankruptcy-restructuring options.
Demand still runs ahead of supply in budget-friendly markets. However, the luxury and mid-tier segments are crashing. Prices in formerly sizzling cities like Austin, Miami, and Phoenix have shaved off more than 15% year-over-year.
Unemployment now sits at 5.7% and new weekly jobless claims are up for the seventh week in a row, flashing red on the labor-market dashboard.
Ghislaine Maxwell Willing to Name Epstein Clients in Congressional Testimony
Ghislaine Maxwell, already doing 20 years, has formally offered to testify to a congressional inquiry if her sentence is cut. She is ready to identify high-profile names in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit. Lawyers in her camp say the list features big-name CEOs, politicians, and a member of royalty.
Controversy erupted after AG Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced on Thursday, “no actionable Epstein list exists,” prompting outrage from Epstein survivors and transparency groups. Anonymous agents within the Bureau claim the document was erased to shield powerful figures. Skeptics now charge that the Trump administration has merged into the Washington swamp it promised to drain—one now defended by the Biden team.
Tulsi Gabbard Drops Russian Collusion Files—Names at-High Treason Allegations.
In her latest drop, National Director of Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard published memos tying Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Andrew Weissmann to a scheme to sabotage the 2016 vote and falsely tie Trump to Moscow.
The DOJ has confirmed a grand jury is now sifting through her documents. Multiple intel veterans could be facing treason and sedition counts, and Obama has issued no denial. Trump supporters dub this the “real insurrection,” while opponents warn the state secrets cupboard is being weaponized for political payback.
Investigation into Letitia James and Adam Schiff’s Mortgage Transactions
New York Attorney General Letitia James is now under a criminal probe related to a fraudulent real estate scheme that traded inflated appraisals and rigged title insurance for campaign cash from Big Apple builders and political donors.
California Senator Adam Schiff faces a parallel investigation spanning ten years, accused of running fake non-profits that pocketed mortgage kickbacks for properties that never rented a unit.
Prosecutors suspect the duo funneled tens of millions through “affordable housing initiatives” that only existed on paper.
Trump and Musk: A Full-Blown Break-Up
Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s political friendship is officially over, and both men are sparking fires.
At a Michigan rally, Trump labeled Musk a “disloyal, egomaniacal con man” for quietly ghosting on the GOP and hiring Green New Deal lobbyists.
Musk fired back by forming the “American Party,” a hybrid wagon for anybody sick of Biden and MAGA, published on X to say “We care about innovation, not allegiance.”
Meanwhile, the Cybertruck catastrophe now has federal investigators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration slapped a nationwide stop order on the pickup after fires, battery detonations, and a software glitch that turned off brakes were confirmed.
Tesla’s stock crashed 28% in seven days, sparking SEC inquiries into whether the company hid safety data and misled investors.
Trump has now asked his legal team about booting Elon Musk from the U.S., saying, “This country made him rich. Now he wants to destroy it.”
Markets on Fire: Inflation Surges, Gold Skyrockets, Stocks on Edge
The Consumer Price Index jumped 0.7% last month, pushing year-over-year inflation to 4.9%, which shocked even the experts.
Gold* blasted through $2,850 an ounce as money pours out of tech and real estate.
The Dow crashed 800 points, and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 posted their biggest drop since April.
Mortgage-backed bonds are creeping up, hoping that Trump might cut rates to 3%, though the bond market still feels shaky.
Biden DOJ Crackdown: 12 Former Officials Arrested
Attorney General Pam Bondi said 12 prior Biden DOJ and HUD officials have been charged with corruption, conspiracy, and wire fraud tied to covert wiretaps, shady campaign donations, and cooking the COVID relief fund.
While the conservative base cheers the housecleaning, critics say the focus on past officials lets today’s admin and former Trump cronies skate.
Public Sentiment Turns: “No More Heroes”
Americans from all sides are becoming skeptical of every politician. Trump supporters feel let down by the silence on Epstein. Independents see Trump and Musk as egotistical dangers. Progressives stay focused on the climate and social justice.
A viral post on Truth Social summarized it:
“Trump’s a liar. Musk’s a fraud. The swamp never left. It just changed parties.”
Real Estate Outlook and Mortgage Rate Forecast
With Powell gone and Trump’s new Fed pick pushing for big rate cuts, mortgage rates could drop to 5% or lower by September.
- Still, tight lending rules, rising foreclosures, and job cuts might prevent the housing market from rebounding.
- Builders are slowing down as permits are down 21% and homes for sale hover at near-record lows, which raises prices even with lower rates.
SUMMARY: Today’s Top Stories in Brief
- Trump ousts Jerome Powell and picks John Allison to slash rates by 3%.
- Ghislaine Maxwell agrees to testify about Epstein’s elite sex ring.
- Obama-era officials could be hit with treason charges over Russian collusion.

What has Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard discovered that all eyes are on Former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, John Brennan, Former FBI Director James Comey, Former President Joe Biden, James Clapper, Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, Justice Department Attorney Lisa Paige, and high-level intelligence people in the Obama Administration? There is strong evidence Barack Obama was the ringleader of this treasonous act of evil.

Overview: Tulsi Gabbard’s Exposé as DNI
Tulsi Gabbard, the sitting Director of National Intelligence, has recently leaked explosive claims about senior figures from the Obama era. She names Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, John Brennan, James Comey, Joe Biden, James Clapper, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and others. According to Gabbard, she possesses “overwhelming evidence” proving a treasonous conspiracy to sabotage Trump’s presidency. Her declarations have triggered furious political fireworks and been dragged under the media’s and citizen watchdogs’ microscope.
The Core ClaimsFabricated and Weaponized Intelligence
Gabbard contends that immediately after Trump’s 2016 win, Obama’s national security circle devised and politicized intelligence to show that Russia “interfered” to boost Trump. She charges that raw intelligence was distorted to forge a narrative that would justify launching the long-running “Russia collusion” probe, paving the way for the “years-long coup” she says the Trump presidency endured.
Key Officials Named and Their Alleged Roles
DNI Gabbard and released records, name or tie these people to the claims:
- Barack Obama is said to have led the entire effort by ordering that intelligence be bent to suit the goals.
- Hillary Clinton and John Podesta are said to have green-lighted plans that linked Trump’s campaign to Russian hacking to be used as a campaign weapon against him.
- John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey are accused of briefing and coordinating the intelligence steps that set off the Trump–Russia investigation.
- Joe Biden, Loretta Lynch, and Susan Rice are said to have met to discuss a strategy for advancing the Russia intelligence narrative after the election.
- Peter Strzok and Lisa Page ran the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and are said to have done the counterintelligence work.
- John Podesta appears again as the Clinton campaign chair, mentioned in internal strategy talks.
Alleged “Evidence”
Gabbard’s office released and declassified these documents:
- Internal emails and notes from meetings held in late 2016.
- Key points that, by December 2016, foreign adversaries had not changed the vote through cyber means.
- Briefings that mention a Clinton campaign idea to “smear Donald Trump by embedding a scandal over Russian interference.”
- Correspondence indicates that U.S. intelligence agencies were mainly worried about specific Russian cyber intrusions before the election.
- The agencies found the Russian efforts focused more on spreading false stories than changing voting results.
The Broader Reaction & Fact-Checking
Lack of Independent Corroboration
- Previous Investigations: Several bipartisan probes—led by the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Justice Department—have confirmed that Russia sought to sway the 2016 election in Trump’s favor.
- None, however, found that President Obama, Secretary Clinton, or any other senior official invented the intelligence or plotted a coup.
- Media and Nonpartisan Analysis: Major news organizations and fact-checkers have labeled Gabbard’s claims as “misleading” and “politically driven” and have said they lack solid proof.
- Analysts point out that Gabbard’s newly disclosed documents fail to counter the intelligence community’s core finding.
- Russian interference occurred, but there is no evidence that votes were altered or that Obama directly tampered with the results.
Response from Former Officials and Critics
- Former President Obama’s Office: A spokesperson for Obama labeled the allegations “outrageous,” “absurd,” and “a distraction” from the well-documented evidence.
- The office maintains that the documents Gabbard released do not weaken the established record on Russian interference.
- Democratic Lawmakers and Analysts: Senior Democratic members of Congress and intelligence veterans have called Gabbard’s accusations “baseless” and “full of errors,” stressing that they blend distinct subjects and disregard years of thorough inquiries.
Context: What Do the Documents Say?
The released records show that intelligence officials were worried about Russian disinformation campaigns before and after the election. Several papers capture agency-level discussions over how to portray the interference. However, they fail to reveal any instruction from Barack Obama or his top aides to distort or fabricate intelligence in a treasonous arrangement.
The intelligence community’s core finding has not changed:
- Russia ran a coordinated effort to shape opinions and create social fractures, mainly through social media and hacking.
- Still, it did not rig votes or change election outcomes.
Legal and Investigative Status
- Criminal Referrals: Gabbard has filed her findings with the Department of Justice, but to date, there have been no formal indictments, prosecutions, or new criminal charges aimed at any former officials from the Obama administration related to her claims.
- Ongoing Investigations: Reports confirm that inquiries into the actions of certain officials during the Trump-Russia inquiry are still active.
- Especially into John Brennan and James Comey, no verifiable, specific “treasonous” conduct has yet been demonstrated.
Even with bold statements from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and heavy media attention, the claim that Barack Obama led a treasonous coup is still up for serious debate. No independent, bipartisan, or nonpartisan investigation has confirmed it. The latest documents shed light on governmental discussions but stop short of proving any planned, treasonous conspiracy led by Obama or his closest advisers. Trusted analysts continue to stand by the original U.S. intelligence conclusion that Russia pursued efforts to sway the 2016 election. So far, accusations of outright treason against Obama-era officials have not been backed by concrete evidence.
