From CBS/Philly:
Jersey Shore real estate experts urge families to book summer rentals quickly as warm weather approaches
Jersey Shore real estate experts are urging families to book their summer rentals quickly as they expect a spike in demand for homes in the coming weeks.
Maria Kirk, who runs the 20-year-old website Shore Summer Rentals, said traffic to her site is up 20% since the start of the new year.
“Soon as New Year’s passed, a light bulb goes on, and everyone starts booking,” Kirk said. “We had a really strong January and an even stronger February.”
She said the recent stretch of sunny weather has also nudged people to browse rentals.
“I have a feeling this year is going to be just like last year, maybe even better,” Kirk said. “Last year was a little slower, but at the end, everybody was booked.”
Mary Ann Madrak, who lives in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, said her family already booked their summer rental in Ocean City.
“We didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity, and we had very specific needs as far as location, number of bedrooms, things like that,” Madrak said. “We were able to find something that suited us, so it took a little bit of planning and contacting different real estate agents to find the perfect place that would be best for us.”

I didn’t necessarily care for Tucker before, I certainly never went out of my way to watch. I’d say I skewed negative. But god damn this Putin interview.
Call softball all you like, but this is possibly the best view into Putin that the west has had in a decade, or more. Yes, clearly some of this was scripted, and some of this was not. Tucker’s side eye to the camera in spots felt like a dead giveaway he was pushing limits.
Any claims of Putin dying – this seems to be total BS based on that video. Also, the guy is smart, really smart, and quick. I’m not sure any recent US president could have shown THAT WELL in an interview like this, sorry, no god damned way. Putin is quick, and clearly a solid debater, couple of spots he very masterfully shifted the dialog. Yeah, lots of eye rolls while watching, of course Putin is going to push his skewed view and agenda, but he defended well.
Maybe an epic publicity stunt, but the guy got the interview, went over to do it, and it was solid. I hated watching the clips, I can’t wait to rewatch this.
I feel like there was significant motivation by Russia to use this politically to “humanize” Putin, make him a bit more relatable, open. I’m sure they were considering this when scripting, preparing. There were also some very subtle things, like the distance between them, very close. If you watch Russian media, Putin is typically a mile away from everyone, always, and it’s always called out by the media.

The judge noted how hard it was to calculate potential damages in the bizarre case.
“I can put a dollar amount on, say, if you were missing work at $16 an hour,” he said. “But as to testicles, I can’t really put a number on it.”
Well Judge, you technically did, as you gave him a range of less than 6500 to zero.
In fact, you valued his nuts at zero. So you did put a number on it you dolt.

Carlson is a good interviewer. And he’s realized there’s more money in actual journalism than acting like a hired gun for political parties. If only the rest of the media would get on board because our media in general is pathetic.
Moreover, the US has a problem. Our leaders are low IQ and of questionable morals. China/Russia may be led by people with questionable morals, but they seem to not be intent on selling out their own population, fleecing their own countries, and they are definitely high IQ individuals that make our leaders look like mental midgets.
I will watch the whole Putin interview when I get a chance. How the hell did Tucker land the gig?
Like him or not, Putin is what a leader should look like. Intelligent, well spoken, doesn’t make up silly names like “Pocahontas” or “Ron DeSanctimonious”
This is grade school bullying. I get it.
What is worse is how the American public laps it up. I guess it works well with the average intelligence of the populace.

It would make sense then.

“but they seem to not be intent on selling out their own population,”
Bingo. They are nationalists. I have no idea who the leaders of my country support, but one thing is for sure, Americans aren’t the first on the list.
American leaders support every one else in the world completely bypassing actual American citizens. Seems we are the lowest lifeform in their eyes and that they feel the need to control us instead of supporting us.
I am not Russian, but I would be more proud to be a Russian fighting for Putin than be an American fighting for Biden.
Remember when America was at war and everyone put flags up for a week, then sat down and watched the Super Bowl while soldiers were dying? This is the character of America now, it’s just a meme and the people have the attention span of a gnat.

Better yet, put them in a snow globe on the mantle. My ex-wife’s fathers nuts were up on the mantle. He wore a choke collar as well. I should have observed that better, my nuts were about the only thing not taken from me by a f’n judge. Bet she would have had me hand those over as well if she could have legally. Beware of female judges.
Almost time to dust off the old the old Nasdaq 16K hat. Thanks a lot Biden.
Seriously. I expected the market to do exactly this. Just don’t like it when it’s this quick. We have blasted through the top of the channel so I would expect a pullback soon. There is some solid support at 15K. If we break through that line during the pullback, I would start to worry. For now, long and strong as we wait for the chart to show commitment.
In the headwind department, hearing more and more about commercial real estate. But I think any contagion should be minimized by residential real estate and what it would do if Powell actually lowers the lending rate. The builders and dependent industries are smoking right now. Would really like to see a little more breadth to this market and not just AI driving. That is all for now.

US fears a strong Russia, but not a strong China. WTF is Tucker talking about?
Everything in western media would make you think America is very fearful of China.

Putin asks Clinton, could Russia Join Nato?
Clinton talks to “his people”, he tells Putin no. There it is. You are not one of us, it’s an exclusive club, and you will never be a member.
Putin was great in the interview when he said “no means no.” Sounds like a quote from the women’s movement. Hehe.
DOJ report details Biden’s “diminished faculties.” Something that is so easy to observe.
Color me shocked.
Calls grow for Biden to be removed from office after bombshell DOJ report detailed his ‘diminished faculties’: Top Republican demands AG Merrick Garland make the first move to oust the president
Most dictators are brilliant. It’s not easy to get into that position. Listen to a Hitler speech translated. Sheer brilliance. Putin is incredibly brilliant too. That was never in question. Regardless of their intelligence, I would still much rather have a senile fool running the country than either of them for obvious reasons.
During Covid, one by one we heard very intelligent international leaders speak. All significantly more intelligent than anything this country has produced in decades. I am not surprised either. If I had presidential potential, I would clearly just get wealthy in the private sector. Why drag my family and me through the mud? You have to spend the rest of your life in privacy for the most part. No way. Heck, Tim Cook could walk down Broadway and hardly a person would even notice. If Obama or Biden or Trump steps out in public, forget about it. So of course, you are not going the get the best and the brightest. Plus, the process to get there is completely corrupt. See my email from yesterday morning. If you don’t play the money game, you are dead in the water.
If I had presidential potential, I would clearly just get wealthy in the private sector. Why drag my family and me through the mud?
Money is what motivates you. It’s your persona.
Money doesn’t drive everyone else. You have to step into someone else’s shoes in order to see what is important to them. It’s really hard to think there is any other motivating force when the one you look at is dollar signs.
I only look at the dollar signs as a way to escape the mess I see everyday. Most people who bow to the almighty dollar feel a need to flaunt it. I just want to collect them so I can stop working, chill out and see the world. I still plan to where Adidas three stripes and an undershirt for as long as both are made.
I’ll invite you to chill when I’m settled. Should be less than 18 months now. Heck, the way my accounts are growing? I really could do it now, but D’s education holds me back.

I have no respect for putin… trying to play the “good guy” is laughable. Yea, it’s all america’s fault….right.
There is a reason there was an attempted coup against putin…he was fortunate to survive it.
The O’Biden debate is officially over. We know Joe is not up for it and will be replaced by that slimy fuck from California at the dem convention. He’s the guy that’s fucking your wife or girlfriend then talking sports with you over a beer at some s0cial gathering as if you were good buddies. The average muppets will embrace him as someone who cares, will elect him and then drown in a tidal wave of regulations and taxes. You’ll see the fruits of your labor being directed to muppet groups likely to pull the pellet lever for the dems and you’ll never even know it. CNN and MSNBC will be gushing like you’ve never imagined possible.
He needs Putins blessing that be Trumps VP.

I’ve been to California lately. Lots of people are leaving. Newsom has been a disaster. Which is why the Dems could actually run him. But Grandpa not’s stepping down, so no worries there. We are such a shit show of a country. It’s like we’ve morphed into Australia.

There was talk going around last year, that Biden did not want to run for re-election, but that Jill convinced him to run. This will hurt Biden, but I don’t think it will stop him from running and, what about Kamala? She is going to want to run if Joe steps down; she won’t go quietly.
As for the information in the report, they could have left out the part about Biden not recalling when his Son passed away. Compassion and a little human decency would have been nice.
Slow Sleepy Joe has not had a press conference since November 2022..
BTW this would be great comedy for an SNL skit from perhaps the 1990s…Dana Carvey playing the role of Biden…
Biden forced to get up in front of the press reads from the teleprompter why Trump is getting prosecuted for having documents for a few months while his were collecting dust on an unlocked garage floor for decades. It wasn’t willful he says. I forgot allot and forgot why I forgot but my memory is fine and how dare anyone question it…

You obviously have never been there.
Lib: No, I have not. I have heard they drink too much. I know their some people who have gone, and liked it, others that have not. Their politics seem pretty quiet. I have no desire to visit there. Outback looks pretty dismal too.

The main problem with Australia is it’s full of Australians. They have a huge inferiority complex. Have excuses for everything, and are extremely racist compared to the US.
Plus everything is extremely expensive. It’s literally cheaper to fly from Sydney to Singapore for 4 or 5 days and have 4 custom suits made then buy 4 suits off the rack at their version of Macys.
Or a wife and adopt her 2 kids

There’s also a huge drinking culture, poor work ethics.
They are fascinated by bad American TV and have an affinity for building oversized things, like shrimp and fruit. Their beer is terrible. Their island was a former penal colony. They are forever jealous of everything New Zealand and they have a huge gambling problem. Their most popular tourist attraction is a rock. They are like the Cleveland of the world. Nice people for the most, though. Except for the aboriginal hating ones.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_things_(Australia)
Hold: I knew about the drinking culture, had no idea on the work ethic, or how expensive it is. I also know their treatment of the aboriginal people was awful. Also, there is a debate every few years about becoming a Republic with their own head of state. Their flag is sort of blinding too. As for the inferiority complex, did not know that as well.
Those Pokeys are bad bad news.

Juice,
We do have some weird stuff too for sure. But per capita, they are the weirdest, except maybe for the perverse Japanese sex culture. I mean, we are more than nine times larger. Heck, Texas alone has more people. And they have three times as many sheep as people, which might explain things.
Putin is corrupt and brutal, like the Russian govt. He controls the media, he jails or kills his opponents, and he has repeatedly taken over companies for his or his freinds’ benefit. Russian people’s rights are routinely violated. The Russian economy has grown very little over the past 15 years, and much of it is controlled by state owned companies or government cronies. There is crime, corruption, and people aren’t particularly healthy. Their young are dying in a war that will not protect their country from an enemy, but it a bizarre dream of an aging tyrant, based on old feuds and old fears.
Yes, most other government leaders are not suffering from dementia, or cruel and delusional solipsists, unlike recent American presidents, which makes nearly anyone else seem better in some respects. Trump would absolutely love to rule like Putin, as he repeatedly calls tyrants like Putin, Xi, and Kim “strong leaders”.

If it wasn’t for all the Asian stuff we would have been bored out of our minds when we lived there after we did all the tourist stuff.
It’s full of weird stuff too. The $2 lotto costs $2.20. The 24 hour medical center was open 7 am to 7 pm. Medical care was atrocious unless you went to a private hospital. Most people we visited lived like recent college grads. Their places were empty except for the bare essentials. No one collected anything, no one could even perform minor household repairs like fixing a running toilet. If you aren’t a tradie what we could call a man in van/tradesman they didn’t even own a screwdriver unless it was left over from ikea furniture.
And deodorant was optional for lots of office workers.

One time we were flying from Sydney to LA there was an Aussie who smelled so bad I ordered a beer just so I could pour it on my shirt collar and smell beer instead of BO for the flight. I literally poured beer on the front collar area and pulled it over my nose.
As of now, it’s trending North and should be good for the Catskills to Boston. Rain down here. If it trends west or south, we could get some snow. I’m leaving for Reno tomorrow afternoon. Going to a crazy Super Bowl party at the Silver Legacy (comped tickets would have been $220 each) and then spending a couple days out at the lake (comped lift tickets). The only thing I am paying for on this trip is the rental car. By returning it a day early and ubering to the airport, saved over $200. Got the car (Hertz Chairman’s Circle) for $30 day complete.
The only Australian beer I have ever had was Fosters. It was awful!
HMB, I flew Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Chennai. I was fortunate to be in first class, but the smell of curry and armpit still permeated it’s way to the front of the plane. I never thought I’d say this, but when they put on the air exchangers after we landed in Chennai, the raw sewage and public bathhouse odor was actual a drastic improvement over the air in the plane.
Regarding Australia, Rabbit Proof Fence is a must watch film.

I just remembered alarms were going off in the utility room in our building and a minute or 2 later are carbon monoxide detector went off. We called the fire department and went outside. The firemen were angry at us and demanding to know why we had a CO detector. Has heat, hot water, gas stoves plus the place had a multistory underground garage and the fire department wanted to know why we would have a CO detector.
And their tv shows were awful. Wound up watching US and a few UK shows.
Hold: It sounds miserable. I guess if you are into surfing, and the Sydney opera house, for some it might be worth a trip. Away from that I don’t see the attraction.
Lufthansa’s beds suck, but their amazing choices in beer more than make up for their funny angle. I should look what they are serving these days. Warsteiner, Dunkel and Erdinger. Not great, but still decent. I must have downed five Ayinger Celebrators and 10 or so Grapefruit Radlers on the 24 hour trip. The only problem was, you couldn’t pause the movies to pee and I missed a ton of Bollywood scenes.

If you are a drunken beach bum who enjoys bad tv and overpaying for everything it’s wonderful. There’s a good reason affluent Australians have their elective surgeries done in the US. Australians don’t get a bachelors and then go to med school. They start med school right out of high school.

Ms. Hennis, a retired nurse who lives in a suburb of Chicago, noticed that the company selling the plastic tubes was called Pretty in Pink Boutique, and it was based in Texas. “There’s a mistake here,” Ms. Hennis recalled thinking.
