The U.S. economy may be closer to recession than the Trump administration acknowledges, with housing and construction poised to feel the pinch first, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. In an interview with Newsweek, Zandi said his biggest fear, one he has warned about for months, is now materializing — a cascade of weakening job growth, rising inflation and a softening housing market that could tip the country into a downturn by late 2025. “I don’t think the economy is in a recession, at least not at this point,” Zandi told the outlet. “But it feels like it’s on the brink, it’s on the precipice of this recession.” Zandi was among the first economists to warn of an impending financial crisis before the 2008 housing market crash. In a 2006 Moody’s report titled “Housing at the Tipping Point”, he cautioned that a housing downturn might escalate into a more severe collapse. He also stressed that broader economic consequences — such as weakening employment, reduced consumer spending and increased financial strain — could amplify a downturn. Jobs flashing red Zandi pointed to employment as the most pressing warning sign — with job growth slowed to a “virtual standstill.” He said that most new positions are concentrated in the health care, education and government sectors. “That’s the firewall between recession and no recession, is the low layoffs,” Zandi said. “So we’re not in recession, but I’d say the indicator that’s flashing reddest is jobs.” Once monthly payroll employment turns negative, “alarm bells should start going off,” he added, saying this could happen soon. Tariffs and rising prices The Trump administration has touted strong gross domestic product growth, foreign investment and controlled inflation as proof that tariffs have strengthened the economy. But Zandi believes these same policies are creating cracks. “Prices are already rising, you can see it in the data, but it’s going to rise to a degree that it will be impossible for people to ignore,” he told Newsweek. “They’ll see it clearly in the things that they’re buying on an everyday basis.” Zandi did not mince words on what he sees as the underlying cause of the slowdown. “It’s the tariffs and it’s the restrictive immigration policy. Those two things are doing real damage to the economy,” he said. The National Association of Homebuilders and other organizations requested a tariff exemption for building materials earlier this year. It’s also possible that some of these measures could be included in new Trump administration plans in the coming weeks that aim to address housing costs. Housing weakness emerging Zandi described housing as “very troubled” and warned that a construction slowdown could deepen recession risks. “Single-family homebuilding has held up well as builders have been able to use interest rate buy-downs and other incentives to maintain sales,” he said. “But that’s no longer working. “The inventories of unsold homes are now as high as they’ve been since prior to the (global financial crisis) and that housing bust.” Despite his stark warnings, Zandi stressed that the U.S. economy retains long-term strengths, particularly in technology. “There’s a lot also structurally that’s right about the U.S. economy,” he said, citing the boom in artificial intelligence as having “real and significant, very positive economic consequences.” Read More

A DFW Mother in honor of her son Julian Christian Robinson Calls for Volunteers and Donations to The Beacon, Homeless Services Nonprofit in Houston, Texas and Other Service Organizations During September National Suicide Prevention Month. Honor Julian! Honor Life! Suicide Prevention DALLAS – Sept. 1, 2025 – PRLog — Posted Courtesy of Wright Enterprises Community Spotlight ~San Francisco ~ Dallas As the seventh death anniversary of her eleven-year-old child arrives on September 7th, a Dallas Fort Worth area mother, Takisha Coker will be honoring her youngest child, Julian Christian Robinson at the Beacon nonprofit in Houston, Texas. Coker is asking the public to join her in honoring Julian by bringing awareness about suicide and affirming his caring heart by assisting an organization that transforms lives during September National Suicide Prevention Month. “Although Julian took his young life, a day after his birthday on September 7, 2018, I am using the day of remembrance as a day to get to work and help others,” said Takisha Coker, a resident of Fort Worth. “In his brief life, Julian developed a heart of caring for others and I am acknowledging that by volunteering at The Beacon on the date of the day he left us seven years ago. I am asking people to join in the launch of “Honor Julian! Honor Life!” by volunteering or donating to the Beacon on September 7th and moving forward.” “Honor Julian! Honor Life!” is not just for one day. Coker is hoping that her son’s story can inspire people to help the Beacon by volunteering or donating in an on-going way. September 7th is the launch of “Honor Julian! Honor Life!” If people choose to Honor Julian! Honor Life! by contributing to other service organizations as well, Coker would be grateful to know her son’s story inspired others to expand the campaign. Julian’s and his mother’s story has been presented in the media previously. See the ABC 8 WFAA television report: https://www.wfaa.com/video/features/how-a-gift-of-flowers-led-to-a-lifelong-friendship-at-a-texas-grocery-store/287-58d3a9ba-e8ed-4524-81f4-3f16b425b109 Julian Christian Robinson would have turned 18 years old on September 7, 2025. He would be picking up his high school diploma in May of 2026. Coker will not experience those life milestones. Yet launching “Honor Julian! Honor Life!” brings memories of her son’s deep caring and it fulfills the lives of those who are helped by the homeless services nonprofit The Beacon. The “Honor Julian! Honor Life!” campaign signals the importance of battling suicide: In the United States, suicide is the second leading cause of death for children aged 10–14 and the third for those aged 15–19. While suicide rates were declining for younger age groups in 2022, long-term trends show a significant rise in child suicide over the past two decades, according to data from the CDC. Addressing Pediatric Suicide (https://www.childrenshospitals.org/content/behavioral-hea…) published August 20, 2025 states: “Between 2016 and 2021, suicide self-injury cases among patients ages 5-18 seen at children’s hospital emergency departments increased by 168.6%. The trend in cases has remained essentially unchanged for the past four years, meaning the crisis is not abating.” For the complete news release and public service announcements copy and paste the following url: https://hype.news/wright-enterprises-us/september-is-national-suicide-prevention-month-dallas-mother-calls-for-volunteers-and-donations-to-the-beacon-homeless-services-nonprofit-in-houston-texas-xjengoqd Read More

1 of 3 | President Donald Trump announces U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to Huntsville, Ala., from its current location in Colorado Springs, Colo., to improve the nation’s defensive capabilities in the skies. Photo by Al Drago/UPI | License Photo Sept. 2 (UPI) — The U.S. Space Command headquarters will relocate from Colorado to Alabama to better support advanced aerial warfare, President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday. The move will shift the U.S. Space Command headquarters from its current spot in Colorado Springs, Colo., to Huntsville, Ala., which Air Force officials identified as the command’s ideal location. “I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command will move to Huntsville, Ala., which, henceforth, will be known as ‘Rocket City,’” Trump said during a White House news conference. The president said that during his first presidential term he intended to locate Space Command in Huntsville, but the Biden administration moved it to Colorado Springs for what Trump called “political reasons.” The change to Huntsville will create 30,000 jobs and draw many millions of dollars in investment, Trump said. The move also “will help the United States dominate the ‘high frontier,’ as they call it,” Trump said. He said Space Command will develop the “Golden Dome” aerial defense system to protect against attacks by drones, missiles and aircraft. Huntsville will enable more rapid deployment of aerial defense assets than would be possible in Colorado Springs, Trump said. “As usual, right place, right time, for the right reasons,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters. The move will enable the United States to stay well ahead of potential global adversaries in the development of the future of warfare, Hegseth said. “Whoever controls the skies will control the future of warfare,” he added. Vice President JD Vance seconded Hegseth’s comments. “You can’t win the battle of the future, unless you control the skies,” Vance said. He called the change a “visionary move” that will benefit the nation and is supported by Air Force leaders due to its proximity to the nation’s Redstone Arsenal. The Redstone Arsenal is a U.S. Army base adjacent to Huntsville and home to the Army’s rocket, missile and space programs. The first Trump administration had planned to move Space Command to Alabama, but after a 2022 report from the Government Accountability Office found fault with that conclusion. President Joe Biden decided in 2023 to keep it in Colorado, to the chagrin of officials in Alabama. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has pushed for the move to her state even before Biden’s call to leave the base in Colorado. “I couldn’t be more pleased to learn that Alabama will be the new home to the United States Space Command,” she posted to X in January of 2021. However, following Biden’s decision, she posted in May of 2023 that “Alabama is the only rightful home for Space Force Command Headquarters, and supporting this mission is critical to the advancement of our national security.” In April, Kay signed a resolution that urged Space Force Command Headquarters to be permanently established in Huntsville. Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville introduced a resolution in the Senate in January that “encourages President Donald J. Trump and his incoming second Presidential administration to halt the Biden administration’s disastrous decision and immediately proceed in establishing a permanent headquarters for United States Space Command at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.” Read More

Sept. 2 (UPI) — Hall of Fame basketball coach George Raveling, who influenced Michael Jordan to sign with Nike in 1984, has died, his family announced Tuesday. He was 88. “There are no words to fully capture what George meant to his family, friends, colleagues, former players and assistants — and to the world,” the family wrote. “He will be profoundly missed, yet his aura, energy, divine presence and timeless wisdom live on in all those he touched and transformed.” Raveling’s family wrote that he “faced cancer with courage and grace” and that he died while surrounded by family members. “Born in a segregated hospital and rising to the halls of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, George never lost his love for life, his resilience, his childlike curiosity, nor his unshakable belief in treating every person with dignity and respect,” the family wrote. “Beyond accolades, he remained a lifelong learner and a kind, beautiful soul — always finding ways to pour into others and inspire the next generation.” Raveling, a Washington, D.C., native, played at Villanova from 1957 to 1960. He served as an assistant coach for the Wildcats from 1963 through 1969. Raveling was an assistant at Maryland from 1969 to 1972. He served as head coach at Washington State from 1972 to 1983. Raveling held the same role at Iowa from 1983 to 1986. He coached the USC Trojans from 1986 to 1994. He had an overall record of 335-293, with a 2-6 mark in NCAA tournament games. Raveling was a three-time Pac-10 Coach of the Year. He also served as an assistant coach for Team USA at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, where it won gold and bronze medals, respectively. During that time, Raveling helped convince Michael Jordan to sign his deal with Nike, which forever altered the sportswear industry. Raveling would later be portrayed by actor Marlon Wayans in the 2023 movie Air, which detailed Nike’s relationship with the basketball icon. Raveling was inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2013 and joined the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015. He served as the director for international basketball for Nike after his retirement from USC. Raveling also worked as a color commentator for CBS Sports and Fox Sprots Net. “Grief is the cost of love deeply felt,” the Raveling family wrote. “We are eternally grateful for everyone who loved George. He cherished his family, his friends, his books and every opportunity to be a positive difference-maker in as many lives as possible.” Jerry Adler Actor Jerry Adler arrives for the Season 4 premiere screening of “Rescue Me” in New York City on June 4, 2007.

A planned Interlune imitation regolith center in Texas will help to more effectively develop lunar landers and other equipment and technologies for space exploration. File Photo courtesy of NASA Sept. 2 (UPI) — Seattle-based natural resources firm Interlune will build a Texas facility to develop and test imitation moon dirt near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The imitation moon dirt will support the development and testing of technologies and equipment for use of the moon’s surface and an eventual mission to Mars, among other possibilities. A $4.84 million grant from the Texas Space Commission, combined with internal funding by Interlune, will enable the firm to build a facility to produce imitation moon dirt, which also is called “regolith.” “Lunar regolith is different from dirt here on Earth,” Interlune Chief Executive Officer Rob Meyerson said. “A highest-fidelity testing environment on Earth is of tremendous value to Interlune and the entire lunar exploration community,” Meyerson said. “This support from the Texas Space Commission to develop novilunar regolith simulants will create a massive U.S. advantage in space innovation.” Interlune chief scientist Elizabeth Frank will lead the work at the regolith center, with assistance provided by a Texas-based team. They will develop and produce different types of imitation lunar regolith in varying quantities to support research and development efforts for lunar technologies and equipment, including landers, rovers and other devices. The new facility also will create testing environments to better simulate conditions on the moon to enable the harvesting of natural resources from space, such as moon-based helium-3. The simulants will be available for other companies, government organizations and research institutions “For the first time in history, harvesting natural resources from the moon is technologically and economically feasible,” Meyerson said in a separate online statement. “Now we embark on a new era of lunar exploration to create an in-space economy that will sustain humanity for millennia.” Read More
