Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, March 11, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Most intense bombing, a million dollar reward, home sales up, and the happiest and least happy cities in America. It's all coming up and Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Pete Hexseth said that yesterday could have been the most intense day of US Strikes yet in Iran. He said Iran was deliberately firing missiles from schools and hospitals, describing Iran's leadership as desperate and scrambling like the terrorist cowards they are. He said Iran stands alone and they are badly losing. The chair of the Joint Chiefs of staff said that US Central Command so far has struck more than 5,000 targets, destroyed over 50 Iranian naval vessels and hit several Iranian drone factories. He said US forces have dropped dozens of 2,000 pound GPS, GPS guided penetrating weapons on deeply buried missile launchers. The FBI is now offering a million dollars for information leading to the arrest of one of its top 10 most wanted fugitives, Omar Alexander Cardenas. He's wanted by local and federal authorities for a 2019 murder in Los Angeles. A local arrest warrant was issued in April of 2020 when he was charged with murder. They believe he fled to Mexico and he's also been federally charged now with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The initial reward was $100,000, then in 2022 has increased to $250,000 and now a dramatic increase up to a million dollars. The FBI assistant director who's in charge of the case said Mexico is not safe for you, Mr. Cardenas, if that is where you're hiding. Existing home sales unexpectedly rose in February as affordability hit its best level in nearly four years. And first time buyers surged into the market. First time buyers represented 34% of February purchases, up from 31% in January and a year ago, February. This matching the highest share in five years. This surge suggests that buyers who have been frozen out by years of high rates and high prices are finally finding their way back into the market. The median existing home price rose just 0.3% year over year to $398,000. This is the 32nd consecutive month of annual price gains, but this is one of the smallest increases since COVID The happiest and least happy cities in America. WalletHub makes this annual ranking with the metrics you'd expect to be on this list, but also things like stable marriages, good mental health and neighbors who look out for each other.
