Undermining a successful crime-fighting operation that rescued over 100 children from human trafficking networks, a Democrat judge has blocked Tennessee’s National Guard deployment in Memphis. Democrat Judge Halts Successful Anti-Crime Operation Democrat appointee and Davidson County Chancellor Patricia Head Moskal ruled that Governor Bill Lee lacks the authority to deploy the Tennessee National Guard in Memphis without a formal rebellion or invasion. The judge’s decision effectively dismantles the Memphis Safe Task Force, which arrived to combat the city’s escalating violent crime epidemic. Moskal granted a temporary restraining order, claiming the deployment violates state military code and causes “irreparable harm” to unnamed state officials. The ruling demonstrates how activist judges prioritize legal technicalities over public safety, undermining effective Republican governance. Moskal’s interpretation severely restricts gubernatorial emergency powers, setting a dangerous precedent that could handcuff future crime-fighting efforts. This judicial overreach exemplifies the left’s pattern of weaponizing courts against conservative policies, even when those policies demonstrably protect innocent lives and restore law and order in crime-ridden communities. https://twitter.com/RepOgles/status/1990859349921820986 Task Force Achieved Remarkable Success Before Shutdown The Memphis Safe Task Force compiled an impressive track record during its brief operation, rescuing over 100 children from human trafficking networks by November. The joint federal-state operation targeted violent offenders in a city plagued by soaring crime rates, working alongside local authorities to restore safety. Governor Lee established the task force in September, expressing gratitude for President Trump’s commitment to providing federal resources for the protection of Memphis residents. Democrat Memphis Mayor Paul Young, notably absent from the lawsuit, supported the task force’s mission to target violent criminals. The operation’s success in combating human trafficking represents exactly the kind of decisive action conservatives demand from their leaders. The task force’s achievements underscore how effective governance can produce tangible results when politicians prioritize public safety over political posturing and legal obstruction. The Davidson County Chancellor who made this ruling in agreement with the 2022 decision by the TN Historical Commission is Patricia Head Moskal. The ruling stated that the seal is not a historic monument, and thus, is not subject to protections under the Tennessee Heritage… https://t.co/J59wWb7aHO pic.twitter.com/6nSO8bJpYo — Virgil Davis Hunt (@vrgldh) August 8, 2024 Political Opposition Celebrates Blocking Child Rescue Operations Democrat Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, a plaintiff in the case, celebrated the judge’s decision as a “positive step toward ensuring the rule of law applies to everyone.” His statement reveals the twisted priorities of Democrat officials who view successful crime-fighting operations as threats to their authority. Harris’s satisfaction with blocking an operation that rescued trafficked children exposes the moral bankruptcy of politicians who prioritize legal technicalities over child welfare. Newsmax host Todd Starnes captured the absurdity perfectly, asking whether Democrats would demand rescued children be returned to human traffickers. The judge granted Governor Lee five days to file an appeal, providing a narrow window to restore this vital public safety operation. Conservative Americans must recognize this pattern of judicial activism that consistently undermines effective Republican governance while protecting criminal elements that prey on society’s most vulnerable members.

If you don’t remember Uncle Jesse singing his vows to Aunt Becky at their 1991 wedding, were you even alive? OK, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but the Donaldson/Katsopolis wedding on Full House is one of those TV moments that millions remember. Particularly because Uncle Jesse performed Forever for the love of his life. It seems like now more than ever, we need a good dose of wholesome nostalgia every once in a while. John Stamos understands. He recently joined the Beach Boys for a performance at EPCOT and treated the crowd to a performance of Forever. It brought back all the fabulous feels. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ali | Travelmation Travel Advisor | Florida Homeschool Mama (@thesunshinestatemama) John Stamos And The Beach Boys Brought The House Down Video of John Stamos performing both Forever and Kokomo hit Instagram, and fans fell in love all over again. John told the crowd that as a kid, he’d never imagined he would ever have the career he does, and he’s so thankful to his fans for making all of his dreams come true. “And as someone who grew up in the Full House era, this was a core memory unlocked moment,” an Instagram caption reads. “My oldest swears she was born in the wrong decade because everything she loves is straight out of the 80s and my childhood… so when she saw this clip, she literally screamed.” Fans love the John Stamos moment with the Beach Boys. “I’ll always stop scrolling to hear this! It melts my heart every time,” a fan wrote. “Thank you for sharing. *sigh* Uncle Jesse,” another person shared. “I was there. And it was surreal. It was something my soul needed without knowing I needed it,” a lucky fan wrote. “I would’ve been CRYING!!!!!!” A fan admitted. Sadly, it sounds like John Stamos and the Beach Boys only performed Forever once. “This must have been the last show on the first day – we made the second and he didn’t play this,” a fan wrote.

Young adults need lower housing prices, not longer mortgages. The median age of first-time homebuyers is now 40, according to a recent report from the National Association of Realtors. Among all buyers, the median age was 59. Homebuyers are more likely to be near or at retirement age than young, married parents. It wasn’t always like this. In 1991, the median age of first-time homebuyers was 28. It has generally been around 30 for decades. In 2017, the median age of first-time homebuyers was 32. In 2025, those same buyers are now 40—the current median age for first-time homebuyers. It’s the same cohort of people. This is a major problem. Owning a home—or at least the realistic possibility of doing so—has long been an essential part of the American dream. Homeownership settles people in communities. It encourages married couples to have more children. It builds family wealth. It promotes long-term thinking. When you own a home somewhere, you care more deeply about what happens in your neighborhood. People aren’t merely units of economic activity that only interact with others when our mutual financial interests align. We’re human beings who long for healthy relationships, starting with our families and extending to those around us. Homeownership helps cultivate these relationships. As that path becomes increasingly inaccessible, it’s little wonder many young people feel unmoored and isolated. They’ve replaced real community with ChatGPT. Skyrocketing home prices are far from the only factor here, but it is one of them. Both sides of the political aisle know this is a problem. New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani believes the solution is rent control. It’s not, and there are decades of evidence to prove it. Now, President Donald Trump is rolling out his own proposals, including a 50-year mortgage. “A 50 Year Mortgage is simply a potential weapon in a wide arsenal of solutions that we are developing right now,” U.S. Director of Federal Housing Bill Pulte wrote on X. Fannie Mae has also scrapped its requirement that potential borrowers have at least a 620 credit score. Moves like this will be touted as ways to increase access to homeownership. In one sense, that’s true. But giving cash-strapped buyers greater access to overpriced homes doesn’t end well. The 50-year mortgage also removes any realistic expectation of eventual homeownership. The people who are financially savvy enough to correctly use a 50-year mortgage don’t need one. For other Americans, it will resemble an indefinite lease with massive downside risk if the housing market drops. Two things need to happen. The first is that the Trump administration must continue to deport illegal immigrants as quickly as possible. Reducing demand lowers prices. Second, America needs to build more houses—a lot more. In 2024, approximately 1.4 million homes were started nationally. Shortly before his assassination, Charlie Kirk called for building “10 million homes for Americans.” That would also lower prices. While the federal government can’t change local zoning laws, it can help encourage home building. An obvious place to start would be releasing millions of acres of federal land that are already close to existing metro areas. Think the barren desert outside Las Vegas, not land inside a national park. Trump’s tariffs have increased prices on building materials. At least on those supplies where U.S. production can’t be spun up quickly, reducing tariffs would help lower costs. The federal government could offer construction companies tax incentives for completing starter homes. Now, there is a downside here for some. Homeowners with properties worth $500,000 will likely be upset if their homes’ value drops to $300,000. That’s a real trade-off, but it’s worth it. Making America great again requires homes that young adults can afford. COPYRIGHT 2025 CREATORS.COM  We publish a variety of perspectives.

President Donald Trump's administration is proposing a new 50-year mortgage, which could be the boldest change in American housing finance since Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced the 30-year mortgage during the Great Depression.
