Editor’s Note: This story contains sexually explicit terminology and images. The daughter of Democrat-backed Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn, who was paid by her father for work on the campaign, is linked to an online pornography account that offers explicit videos, pictures, and even penis ratings to users willing to pay for them. While previously identified in media reports as a “gothic dancer” and performer, new information obtained by The Daily Wire links Osborn’s daughter to an explicit online persona on Stripchat, an adult content platform where users pay for performers to carry out tasks using tokens worth about 10 cents each. The profile — inactive for the past three years — operated under the name “Joanniemitchell” and features images of 23-year-old Georgia Osborn. It lists a detailed menu of sexually explicit acts, with prices climbing from 21 tokens for a simple tip titled “If u luv me” to 2,000 tokens for the request: “Buy my new lingerie.” The Stripchat account’s public preview photos are directly available on Georgia Osborn’s public Instagram account. These include two bikini photos posted to her Instagram in October 2020. At that time, Georgia, who was born in April 2003, was only 17 years old. After The Daily Wire reached out to Dan and Georgia Osborn with inquiries about the accounts, the pictures were deleted from her account. Dan Osborn, a union leader and registered independent, is running to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Pete Ricketts in November with the backing of the Nebraska Democratic Party. The state’s Democratic Senate nominee, Cindy Burbank, dropped out of the race this week to clear a path for Osborn, who gained support with his pledge to fight corruption and inefficiency from both major parties. Osborn’s political career has been marred by scandals regarding his online behavior. A self-professed Catholic, Osborn came under fire during his 2024 Senate run when an email linked to his birthdate and address appeared in the 2015 breach of Ashley Madison, a dating site for people who want to have extramarital affairs. Screenshot of Stripchat account using images of Osborn While his campaign denies he ever used the site, it has offered no explanation as to why his email appears in the database, instead resorting to the excuse that it was a “shared corporate account” used by “multiple people.” Osborn’s campaign used a similar excuse when his union-linked X account was found liking hardcore gay pornography and images of naked women between 2020 and 2021. “Multiple people had access to this account,” a spokesman claimed. Yet, the screenshots reveal the account was clearly denoted as “Dan Osborn President BCTGM 50G.” Osborn also faced criticism for paying over $350,000 in campaign funds to family members from his campaign coffers, including a $4,200 payment to Georgia Osborn for “assistant services” in December 2024.

The price for a public rating of a user’s penis is listed at 101 tokens. The account also offered “private shows” for 120 tokens, or $12, per minute. The Osborn campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

America’s homeownership crisis may be even more severe than widely understood. A new study argues that while official government statistics show about 65% of U.S. homes are owner-occupied, only about 53% of American adults actually own the homes they live in. The difference stems from how homeownership is measured. The Census Bureau’s longstanding homeownership rate tracks whether a home is owner-occupied, not whether every adult living there owns it. For example, a married couple who own a home they share with an adult son counts as one owner-occupied household, even though the son does not own the property himself. The researchers argue that measuring homeownership by individual adults provides a more accurate picture of how many Americans have actually achieved homeownership, particularly as more adults live with family members or roommates because of high housing costs. Researchers estimate that nearly 14% of adults live in owner-occupied homes without actually owning them. That group includes adult children, aging parents, roommates, friends, and others living with homeowners. To better capture individual ownership, the researchers propose a new metric, Homeownership-to-Population, or HPOP, which measures the share of adults who own the home they live in. The lower estimate comes as homeownership becomes increasingly out of reach for many Americans, particularly younger generations. According to recent surveys, 62% of Gen Z say they worry they will never be able to buy a home. Meanwhile, the median age of first-time homebuyers jumped from 33 in 2021 to 40 in 2025, reflecting the growing financial hurdles facing prospective buyers.   Those hurdles continue to mount. In June, the median existing-home price reached a record $440,600, up 49.2% from June 2020. National Association of Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said the biggest obstacle remains a lack of housing supply. “Without a doubt, affordability is a major challenge for people who want to become homeowners, which is the reason why we need more supply,” Yun said. Realtor.com estimates the United States faces a housing shortage of roughly 4 million homes.  Higher borrowing costs have compounded the problem. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates from near zero to above 5.25%, while the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has more than doubled from roughly 3.11% in 2020 to about 6.55%. Congress attempted to address the housing shortage by passing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in July, legislation designed to reduce regulatory barriers to home construction while encouraging state and local governments to reform zoning and land-use policies through grant incentives. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called the legislation “transformational.” “This transformational legislation will help address the housing affordability problem, reduce regulations so builders can build, limit institutional investing in the housing market, and bring the American Dream back into reach for millions of young and working families,” he said. Housing economists welcomed the legislation but cautioned that meaningful relief will take time. “This bill directly targets some of the biggest drivers of housing costs: land-use restrictions, permitting delays, financing constraints and regulatory hurdles,” said Selma Hepp, chief economist at Cotality. “Unfortunately, homebuyers should not expect immediate relief.” Hepp added that “housing development takes time and many of the benefits would likely materialize gradually rather than overnight.” 

Political observers might have been surprised when socialist Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed began gaining traction in Michigan, a state that is far from deep blue. I wasn’t. I grew up in metro-Detroit, Michigan, just outside Dearborn, which is home to the largest Muslim population in the United States. Over the years, I’ve watched this population more than double, and its influence has spread beyond the city of Dearborn — where businesses advertise in Arabic and the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast over loudspeakers throughout the day — to the entire metro-Detroit region. Just last year, officials in my hometown of Canton, Michigan, approved the construction of a massive Islamic mosque and education complex called the Muslim Education Community Center of America — MECCA for short. Groundbreaking took place last month. El-Sayed is the inevitable political result of Michigan’s multi-decade experiment with mass Muslim immigration. His parents are both Egyptian immigrants, and his father was a part-time imam. His father-in-law is a founding committee member of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, according to the federal government. El-Sayed himself is a practicing Muslim, and while studying at the University of Michigan served as the vice president of the Muslim Students Association, which also has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Pointing any of this out is, of course, Islamophobic, according to El-Sayed. We’re not supposed to ask why El-Sayed was worried about offending “a lot” of people in Dearborn who, in his own words, were “sad” about the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. We’re not supposed to think it strange that El-Sayed honored the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by fretting about “the cultural and social biases that fuel discriminatory behavior and hate crimes” against Muslims. (Unlike Norm MacDonald, he was not joking). And yet these are exactly the kinds of questions many Michiganders are now asking themselves. How did our state become home to public vigils mourning the death of a Hezbollah terrorist leader? How did a rally in Dearborn come to feature chants of “Death to America”? How did the mayor of Dearborn, who has endorsed El-Sayed, come to believe it was acceptable to tell a Christian constituent he was “not welcome” in his own city simply for objecting to renaming city streets after someone who celebrated Islamic terrorism? And perhaps most importantly: Why does one of the leading candidates seeking to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate feel compelled to embrace and align himself with the very people at the center of this disturbing trend? Because he has to. Not just because he practices the same faith, nor because the Muslim bloc in Michigan has grown to become a powerful political force in the state, but because the left-wing coalition El-Sayed represents has been built around an increasingly visible alliance between Marxist ideology and Islamist activism. Like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose victory in 2024 El-Sayed has said inspired his own run, El-Sayed is the perfect standard-bearer for this unholy alliance. He is able to cater to the far leftists in places like Ann Arbor and Traverse City with his attacks on the wealthy and talk of universal healthcare — never mind his hypocrisy on both fronts — while also winning over Dearborn’s Muslims who reject much of the Left’s cultural agenda. These two groups might have very different visions for what the ultimate political outcome should be, but they at least agree on the immediate priority: subverting and destroying the values and institutions that have long defined our country. Take a drive through metro-Detroit, where church buildings are being converted into mosques, where the FBI is training security at Jewish synagogues, and where Hezbollah and Iranian flags are proudly displayed, and you’ll realize that, in Michigan, they have a head start. The truth is that the groundwork for this political moment has been years in the making. El-Sayed hasn’t created a new coalition — he has inherited one built over decades through immigration, demographic change, and the rise of identity-based politics. Whether he succeeds in his primary campaign for the Democratic nomination will be a test of just how strong and how deeply rooted this coalition has become. But for those of us who will always call Michigan home, we know the problem didn’t start with El-Sayed. And it won’t end with him either. *** Kaylee McGhee White is a Fox News contributor and the editor-in-chief of IW Features, the grassroots storytelling arm of Independent Women.

The widow of a U.S. Army soldier killed while serving in Iraq said she will “never recover” after losing her husband, who leaves behind a 6-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter.   Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was killed on July 19 at Erbil Air Base in northern Iraq during the controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone, according to the Department of War. The department identified him publicly on Tuesday, and the incident remains under investigation. Shortly after military officials informed her of his death, Swinton’s wife, Mia Gonzalez-Swinton, shared the news in a series of emotional Facebook posts. “I didn’t think this would be the last time I ever saw you. I have no words,” she wrote. “I was informed this morning that my husband, Michael, was killed while serving in Iraq. I’m navigating how to process this so please bear with me.” Later in the day, she added, “I see all the love and messages. I appreciate everyone reaching out but I don’t have it in me to respond to everyone. My husband, my best friend, my daughter’s father, he’s gone and I don’t have the words right now.” In another post, she wrote, “I will never recover from this, you should be home. We had so many plans for when you got back. I’m sick to my stomach.” She also shared a touching video showing Swinton in various photos with his children. Swinton, an active-duty soldier assigned to D Battery, 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade at Fort Bragg, had served in the Army since enlisting in 2017. He lived in nearby Spring Lake, North Carolina. His mother, Christel Swinton Andujar, told The Associated Press that his wife and children “were the center of his world.” “His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched, the laughter he shared, the strength he gave others, and the unconditional love he poured into his family,” she said. “He will forever be missed, forever honored, and forever our hero.” She described her son as someone who could light up a room with his humor and contagious laugh. “Michael had a remarkable ability to excel at whatever he set his mind to,” she said. “He knew when it was time to laugh and when it was time to be serious. Whether serving his country, supporting his family, or helping a friend, he gave his whole heart and expected nothing in return.” Swinton will be posthumously promoted to staff sergeant and awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, and Combat Action Badge. He had previously received several other military decorations during his service.  Military leaders remembered Swinton as a dedicated noncommissioned officer who put others before himself. “USASMDC is saddened by the loss of Sgt. Swinton, whose death occurred during an operation to safeguard fellow Soldiers,” Lt. Gen. John L. Rafferty, commanding general of U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, said in a statement. “His service will not be forgotten, and his sacrifice is not in vain. We will support Sgt. Swinton’s family and his unit during this difficult period.” Brig. Gen. John L. Dawber, commanding general of the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command, described Swinton as “an experienced noncommissioned officer who took great pride in his work and the people around him.” “He answered the call to duty with courage, honor, and selfless dedication,” Dawber said. Swinton is at least the 17th U.S. service member publicly identified as having died during the conflict with Iran since March. The Department of War has announced multiple fatalities in recent weeks, including two soldiers killed in Jordan, six soldiers killed in Kuwait, and six airmen killed in a KC-135 crash supporting operations against Iran.  Following the recent deaths of American service members, President Donald Trump vowed retaliation on Monday, writing, “Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!”

Former NFL player and ESPN on-air analyst and personality Ryan Clark was laid off by the sports news mogul in the middle of the broadcast Monday. After 11 years with the company, Clark was fired during his appearance on “NFL Live” and did not finish the show, as reported by The Athletic. He had been discussing the New York Giants just minutes prior, but did not return to the panel after a commercial break. Clark, 46, was a safety in the league for 13 years, earning one Pro Bowl selection and winning a Super Bowl with the Steelers. Following his time in the league, Clark joined ESPN as an analyst in 2015, just a month after his retirement. Sources told The Athletic that the company’s plan had originally been to fire him as a part of a mass layoff on Tuesday that would occur across ESPN and NFL Network, which was expected when ESPN purchased NFL Network and its assets in a $3 billion acquisition. However, “after receiving calls on the matter,” ESPN opted to cut Clark during the broadcast in order to prevent news leaking of his firing before the following day. The Athletic was informed following the Super Bowl this past February that Clark’s job was in jeopardy. They also reported that the company was influenced by his “perceived poor verbal conduct,” specifically towards former colleague Peter Schrager on a segment of “Get Up.” In the interaction, Clark prefaced his future comment by saying, “We shouldn’t do this on TV,” then following it up with, “That’s the non-player in you,” when discussing Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb’s performance in their opening game last September. Wow: Ryan Clark was reportedly fired from ESPN due to his “poor verbal conduct” with fellow colleague Peter Schrager. Specifically this exchange between the two last September on live television. Clark: “That’s the non-player in you” Schrager: “Don’t belittle me like that, I… https://t.co/M6bfGdjfpN pic.twitter.com/UaCHX6WFH7 — Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) July 21, 2026 Following the interaction that day, Clark took to X to apologize for his comment toward Schrager. Even after his firing, ESPN continued to post clips of Clark’s takes on social media after the airing of his appearances Monday, sparking backlash from fans in the comments of both the NFL on ESPN and SportsCenter’s X posts. Clark recently signed a contract with ESPN in February 2024, where he was earning more than $2 million a year. Clark was not the only major media personality let go by ESPN and NFL Network over the last 36 hours. Karl Ravech, Tom Pelissero, Cam Newton, Charles Davis, David Lloyd, and Stephania Bell are some of the notable names that will no longer be a part of the networks. He took to Instagram to provide a “proof of life“ and then to X to express his feelings on everyone hit by the major layoff that took place. Sending prayers and love to all those laid off today by ESPN. So many of you have poured your life into that company, & I know how you’re feeling right now. My hope is as this door closes another opens for you all. God bless! — Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) July 21, 2026 In a memo sent to ESPN employees this morning, which was obtained by The Daily Wire, ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro wrote to his staff about the recent layoffs. “Over the past several months, we’ve made significant progress integrating the NFL assets that we acquired into ESPN. Throughout this process, we have taken the time to carefully evaluate our collective teams, resources and organizational structure to best position us for the future. As a result, we had to make some difficult decisions about job impacts that we will be communicating today.” “While most of the job impacts are tied to the acquisition, we will also notify colleagues in other parts of the company today that their positions have been impacted. We are committed to treating employees with compassion and respect and to providing support as they navigate this transition.”
