This article was originally published by Michel Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  The housing bubble that burst during the Great Recession was enormous, but it was nothing compared to what we are facing now.  Two decades ago, the average price of a home in the United States was about $140,000.  Today, the average price of a home in the United States is above $500,000.  We have literally never seen anything even close to a housing bubble of this magnitude.  Unfortunately, what comes up must eventually come down. Just like we witnessed during the Great Recession, home sales have started to crash. In January, sales of previously owned homes were 8.4 percent lower than they were in December… Sales of previously owned homes in January dropped a much wider-than-expected 8.4% from December to a seasonally adjusted, annualized rate of 3.91 million, according to the NAR. Sales were 4.4% lower than January 2025. That is the slowest pace since December 2023 and the biggest monthly drop since February 2022. This count is based on closings, so contracts that were likely signed in November and December, when the average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage didn’t move much before dropping slightly in January. That…

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 entered the Cold War as a swept-wing jet fighter that stunned Western planners and demonstrated its lethality in the skies over Korea. In this article, Peter Suciu examines how its advanced aerodynamics, heavy cannon armament, and combat performance against American aircraft made it one of the defining military machines of the twentieth century. The MiG-15 emerged as the Soviet Union’s first swept-wing jet fighter and completely shocked Western air forces when it appeared over Korea. Image: slezo/CC BY 2.0 During the Second World War, the Soviet Union went from a near collapse following the German invasion in June 1941 to seeing one of the greatest resurgences in military history and capturing Berlin in May 1945. Despite its size and combat capabilities, many of its military platforms lagged behind those of the West. Such was certainly true of small arms and military aircraft; just as Moscow made a significant leap forward with the AK-47 rifle in the immediate aftermath of the conflict, it also made great strides in aircraft design. More importantly, the Soviet Union quickly bridged the technological gap that had separated its aircraft production from that of other great powers during the war. It succeeded quickly, but…

I haven’t done it once, you can f— off.”The two continued to exchange words, but it was Kennedy who used profanities to express his displeasure with the accusations. “Come on Oskar, just f— off.” World Curling released a statement Saturday addressing the controversy – both the accusations and Kennedy’s sportsmanship.  “Game Umpires are situated at the end of each sheet and physically cannot see every delivery infraction.
