Lincoln News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/07

Is buying a house still worth it? The debate’s hot, but the math tells a different story: while renting might feel cheaper upfront, homeownership builds equity over time — and history proves it can turn a $25K down payment into a $2M asset. Meanwhile, renters pay rent that keeps climbing, with no return on investment. Mortgages offer predictable payments and long-term security — plus, for many, owning is about stability and legacy. It’s not just numbers; it’s about building your life where you

A new bill, the Title IX Clarification Act, is racing through Congress to redefine “sex” in federal education funding as biological sex — not gender identity. Spearheaded by Senators Pete Ricketts and Marsha Blackburn, it aims to protect women’s sports and spaces like locker rooms by reversing what they call “leftist ideology” reshaping Title IX.
