From the Daily Mail:
The cities where house prices are set to DROP – and most are in the south
The cost of real estate only continues to inch upwards in states like New York and Connecticut. However, a new report from financial analytics company CoreLogic indicates that several metro areas, mostly in the South, are likely to see a decline.
Despite skyrocketing home prices in cities like Miami and West Palm beach, two metros in the Sunshine State are expected to see a drop: the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville region and the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach region.
In each city, CoreLogic analysists predict over a 70 percent chance of a price drop by spring 2025, classifying the risk level as ‘very high.’
This goes for other metropolitan areas as well. Just over the border, Georgia’s Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell region is expected to see a drop, as well as the Greenville-Anderson-Mauldin metro in nearby South Carolina.
These turning tides aren’t limited to the South, either; on the opposite coast, Spokane and the greater Spokane Valley in Washington are due for a price decrease.
Nationwide, CoreLogic’s analysts expect the growth in year-over-year home prices to slow a bit into 2025.

“WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the ‘Icebox,’ and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform Truth Social Tuesday night. “NOW WE KNOW, FOR SURE, THAT JOE BIDEN IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.

Music industry is dead. Only days before streaming services start introducing AI music into regular rotation to replace the “filler” content, in an attempt to significantly reduce royalties, etc. Just as an example, Spotify paid out more than $9b in royalties last year. There is plenty of motivation, and an obvious economic return.
What folks don’t realize is that it’s not just that AI can create one song, AI can great 1000 variations on a song, and the streaming services make it easy to test out which become the most popular. There is just no way to replicate this model. Hell, you have a dozens of market-level personalizations of the same song. Pennsylvania gets the twangier modern country variation, Brooklyn gets the more acoustic folk version. Jersey Shore gets the bad dance club version.
Done, better than humans. It’s only a matter of time before an AI tune hits the top 10. We may not even have any idea it is. Music industry could easily come up with a persona, artist, etc. Nobody the wiser.
You’ll see.
“Hell, you have a dozens of market-level personalizations of the same song. Pennsylvania gets the twangier modern country variation, Brooklyn gets the more acoustic folk version. Jersey Shore gets the bad dance club version.”
The younger set of adults in my universe already has multiple current options on the same recording, albeit presumably with royalties paid as the song is someone else’s original.
Over the holiday heard a couple different versions of ‘Rocket Man’…funny the heavy dance beat, remix version actually wasn’t that bad for what it was. Had little relation to the original and to your point soon you may not need an ‘original’.
The 35 year old crowd had some recall, knew of Elton John, and some preferred the original. Actually had a good convo with one woman over various artists who have covered EJ specifically the two album release a few years back with Gaga, Miley Cyrus, etc.
The 30 and under crowd? No clue. And they don’t care. Which is fine, their world not ours.
I wonder for this crowd how much EDM and the rise of celebrity DJ remixes spawned their views.
Funny, I have two family members approximately the same age (late 20s) one of whom is a classic Deadhead type (can debate live performances down to the note) and another who can tour you through cellars of techno-Brooklyn to the next sunrise in the moment…interesting listening to them discuss music lol.

GameStop Corp. shares more than doubled after the Reddit account that drove the meme-stock mania of 2021 posted what appeared to be a $116 million position in the game retailer.
The June 2 screenshot by Keith Gill, who goes by DeepF— Value on Reddit, shows five million shares bought at $21.27 apiece. It was the account’s first post in three years. The screenshot, which also included 120,000 call options worth $65.7 million due to expire on June 21, couldn’t be verified. The options would allow him to buy the stock at $20 a share.
I don’t know how much he made by one post on Reddit but his calls are up way up…

AI has peaked, and won’t be replacing any jobs for years, it’s too exposed and a few other negatives which I can’t recall. This is according to an article I saw the other day, I can’t remember the publication, Fortune or Forbes perhaps.
Asking AI to make a Top 10 country song.
Pretty sure there is someone in the country scene who has just been dying to write that one.
“Asking AI to make a Top 10 country song.”

Did Hipgnosis Songs Fund just blatantly rip the name off? Anybody that spent any time in the classic rock era knows of Hipgnosis’ work.
“This guy again. Blatant stock manipulation this time…”
Disagree here.
The guy is known to be an advocate for the stock, is known to be long at any time, and simply went long again and let people know.
Market is free to react as it may, and did.
Would be different if he has information not known to the public about the *company*. Especially since the entire basis of US securities is disclosure.
Much more troubling to me is the ‘confidentiality’ granted to Buffet to be able to buy Chubb shares specifically without moving the price up by waiving his requirements under existing law to report those purchases….literally, the dude said to the SEC “I want to buy tons of shares but I don’t want to move the price up as I’m doing it please grant me a waiver from your reporting requirements” and they said OK….
How the fuck is that permitted?
Direct and immediate transfer of wealth from the market to Buffet….
Given the garbage that hits top 10 now, there’s no doubt. It’s all still pathetic compared to things 20 somethings would crank out from 1955 to 2005.
If anyone has watched or read anything on Fauci/NIH, the evidence is damning. It’s not like we didn’t know the obvious conflicts of interests, immoral actions and blatant lying occurring the entire duration of the past 4 years. Nowt that there is now a chain showing they purposely tried to hide their communications to avoid FOIA requests, it’s undeniable. So now he’s reverted to “I didn’t actually read the grants I approved” and “I do not recall”
Grim a record label exec Merck Mercuriadis founded the company no surprise he ripped the name off, and it’s not the first time either. He used it before and stole the idea, some weird Record company type of fraud and lawsuits.
They have Blackrock money now and a huge catalog. They will squeeze Spotify and other streamers for sure.

BRT – Genie cannot be put back in bottle.
All legislation introduced to ban gain of function research has been stalled in Congress.
There are probably at least a dozen ongoing gain of function projects going on right now being funded by US Taxpayers, then there are probably plenty of other countries doing the same.
There are just some considerations for some additional blue ribbon panels and all to consider what might be problematic. GoF studies will continue, it’s required for any kind of vaccine development, meaning to save you we might have to kill you first.
BRT – cops made some kind of record bust, because some Carpenter put airtags on his tools.
15,000 tools!! Quite a haul.

Well, as far as pandemic prevention, they are 0 for 1 on that issue. As far as pandemic creation, 1 for 1. The idea that any of this is needed for vaccine development is complete nonsense. First off, their “miracle” new age vaccines were probably the worst performing in history in terms of disease prevention and side effects. Moreover, we already have vaccines figured out and have for a while. It takes about 24 hours to develop a vaccine if you have the genetic sequence of the virus.
When I worked in a garage, we got robbed. They took all kinds of tools and some specialty parts for drag racers. We waited to see them listed on ebay for about a year and when we did, the police didn’t really seem to care.
BRT – They claim it’s needed for Microbiology as a whole. There is no winning the argument with scientists, they setup these blue ribbon panels in a way there will never be an consensus on this type of research.
Besides if it’s banned well, HG Wells wrote a book about it in the 1800s…They will just go off and create their own Island of Dr. Moreau.
BRT – One last thing about GOF.
Back in 2020 there was a Rutgers scientist who went against the grain here and was quoted in the news on Wuhan and GOF.
There were lawsuits and threats made against them. It’s still happening even four years later. Here is an update from March 2024.

When my Subaru got stolen years back, they used the EZ pass tag for more than a week. In fact, they took the Irvington toll on the Parkway just about the same exact time every day. Police did not care, one bit. Maybe I wouldn’t care either when I saw which toll.
Wait a minute now, they do care about you and your stolen car or merchandise.
They take the time to take your complaint and make a report that you can use to file an insurance claim.
You really think the people driving a desk at Police Headquarters are there because they are the next Dirty Harry?

Someone setup a fake account setup a T-Mobile under my wife’s name and the made off with three brand new iPhone 15s Pros so about $4800.
We get a bill for the phones as it was sent to collection after 90 days for non-payment. It took two visits to the police station in town. This was after three visits to the local T-Mobile store and countless hours on the line with their customer service and fraud people. The people working at T-Mobile acknowledged the fraud and still did ZERO about it. The police report and a nasty letter finally got them to cancel it.
Just got a letter in the mail. T-Mobile “sorry you left” here is a better offer. Lol!!! It’s funny how we get the junk mail and never got a bill paperless billing lol…..
Yeah? No problem. The thieves vandals and rioters use that “insurance” nonsense all the time to justify their actions in the name of social justice and all.
The rule is 30 days after notice of claim. That is unless the car shows up on day 29 towed to impound because it was on the the side of some road stripped and banged up. You get it back with a small check some adjuster figured was enough to find the lower bidder repair shop to fix er up.
Out of pocket $$$$….. Yes thousands out of pocket because somebody did not want to work and save for their own transportation. Don’t bother asking for the PoPo to take fingerprints and check their precious database. Unless you are some politician or immediate family you can forget that ever happening.
Juice,
that’s Richard Ebright. He was a professor in my Chem/Chemical Biology department when I was at Rutgers. He saw this coming from a mile away.
If you want to know theft, the IRS is well versed in it. When my brother was working in a garage, those guys have to buy all their own tools. Basically, they are storing up to 5 to 10k worth of stuff in these garages. Well, apparently, the owner wasn’t paying his taxes. IRS raids, and doesn’t let any of the workers get any of their tools. They jacked them all.
BRT – Ebright has been tweeting like crazy today. I think he believes something will come of the hearing today with Fauci, hearing is just starting now.

Ebright was always right. He called out the lab safety issues at Wuhan and similar labs years before it happened way back in 2016.
This was a post of mine from 2021
Obama put the mandates in place to end the research. Fauci and the NIH took steps to circumvent that by using proxies. Maybe you should be concerned with your highest paid government official blatantly circumventing regulations with federal money. Perhaps you don’t remember this but the instant Trump was made aware of it last year, he shut it down funding mechanism that was doing that. Then 60 minutes ran a slander piece of how irresponsible it was of him to terminate the grant involving an interview with Peter Daszak.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iagUDDyhf64
I’m not tryin to blame Obama or Trump for the funding nonsense. It’s not the presidents job to monitor every single grant that goes out. It’s the responsibility of the NIH and the scientific community. And there was plenty of noise in the scientific community. You can go back and read Dr. Richard Ebright’s of Rutgers warnings from 2016 on about this.

They only mowed the grass in the front once since they bought in April…after all that rain we had. I think the town actually had to threaten to fine her.
My house is realllllly close to hers.
I was thinking of moving anyway and can bring cash to the table to lessen the blow of high interest rates.
Maybe I should just suck it up and pay someone to put up a fence?

Fauci still playing the plausible deniability game. He cannot be blamed for what came out of that Lab in Wuhan. He cannot speculate on the genetically modified humanized mice we gave to Wuhan for testing or what they were used for.
Meanwhile in China right this year in 2024 they are still performing similar experiments. GX_P2V, a mutant Covid-19 strain that now has a 100% kill streak in mice with human proteins.
We transferred this tech to them. We should have never funded this, for over a decade they were using reverse-genetics technology to make numerous coronavirus chimeras. The US funded risky research in China in substandard containment conditions for a long long time, we could not inspect these labs we had zero control over what they were doing.
There should be no non-natural virus creation like this. It’s only a matter of time before the next one kills us all.
D, did you talk to them?
HMB,
Yup. That’s where it should have happened. Hopefully the electrician does not take you to the woodshed.

For some strange reason they had a landscaper come in and build a walkway to their mailbox…Only house in the neighborhood with a walkway to the front of the house.

And yes, these things do fry your brain. My little sister is a prime example. She’s basically gone and she was replaced by a new person who lives in her mind.

Depends on your horizon. You planning on taking our a 7% mortgage? Figure the monthly nut increase. Maybe a $1000 0r a bit more in interest that you cannot save and invest in DNA stock and pancakes in a can.
Also do you plan on surveilling your new neighborhood? A nice quiet neighbor is preferable to the neighbors from hell, heck you could end up moving into a neighborhood full of MDMA popping swingers.

Anyone have a whole house surge suppressor? Electrician said the basic one would be $428 installed. We get so many lightning strikes in this area it could be worth it.
Panel mount surge devices are pretty cheap and easy, but not always effective.
In some regards, you might look at it as an insurance policy vs. technical device.
Most of them come with at least come basic coverages for damaged devices. All of them require licensed electrician installation.
It might not stop a problem, but at least you have recourse to try to get some pay out.
Or said another way. The cost of the device is 10% electronics components and 90% insurance premium.
Merck has a long, storied, deeply rooted career in artist management. I wouldn’t be surprised if he cleared the use with whomever.
Hipgnosis is in deep sht. Their intellectual property valuation company of choice used, and continued to use after rates moved up, a static rF variable in arriving at the underlying catalog net asset value. The share price and dividends were valued off of that.
IIRC, settled law that AI cannot avail itself of copyright protections under the USC.
Spotify has an even greater racket going as of late: Bundling! Read sentence in Jeremy Clarkson voice: Yeeees, the bundling the industry knows and loves is back in 2024!
Spotify – this is a vast oversimplification – music royalties are a function of a pool of total content revenues less costs. Spotify spun up an audio book business, and are now claiming that 100% of a Spotify subscription is no longer attributable to music, because books are being offered as well. So, the amount they have to pay out in royalties is decreased by that portion of the subscription fees no longer attributable to music. I believe studies bear out that will translate to ~25% lower royalty payments for music.
What makes bundling neat is that if you can assign the bundled portion of revenues to
a product that is unrecouped, the money can accrue on your books without any actual royalties needing to be paid out for a portion of the newly created liability. Similarly, if you bundle the offering with product which is essentially royalty free.
Humans are afforded copyright protections so to the extent that AI uses human tracks i believe the following royalty streams need to be respected:
The songwriter’s entitlement to receive their share of publishing royalties
The artist’s (as performer) entitlement to sample use fees
Neighboring rights for performances of AI content featuring human content interpolation.
Some of these rights are statutory while others (like synchronization rights) are arms length negotiations, all requiring sample/copyright holder approval.
Surge on whole house, nope but they go for $50 bucks. What is the other $375 bucks for?
While you guys are on the subject of electric, should I upgrade my pos cape’s electric from 100 amp to 200 amp before jumping into buying an electric or plug in hybrid car?
Oh hell yes.
You said POS Cape – Do you have an attached garage that actually stores a car?
You can nearly max out a 100a service with Central AC, Electric Dryer, Electric Cooktop, Double Oven.
A typical garage mount EV charger will easily pull 40-50 amps. You can find older ones in the 30-35 amp range, but you are trading off the ability to charge faster if you need it.
I’m not even sure an electrician would install the EV charger on a 100a service if you had some or all of the things above.
I do have a one car garage…but it has the heritage softail in it. My neighbor has his tesla in the driveway…is it a problem to plug it in outside?
Nah, it’ll be a bit more expensive to run the electric. Was curious if you just had a panel in your garage, which makes the installation easy peasy since they’ll usually just pigtail an outlet onto the electrical panel to plug the charger into.
That’s what I’ve got for mine. I’ve got a 50 amp outlet, when the electrician did my 100-200a upgrade I asked him to add it so I could plug my TIG welder in.
Same plug for the EV charger, which is gotten far more use than my TIG.
The only downside I’ve heard is that charging outdoors in the winter is less efficient, especially with something like a Tesla where it’s heating up the battery for charging. Obviously install a charger rated for outdoors.
got it thanks. What did that cost you if you don’t mind me asking?
I’m thinking about it as they have free chargers at work.
Fauci contributed to the death of millions. The left covers for him and considers him a hero because he hurt trump politically. These are sick people.

$2,500 – but that was 12ish years ago.
I’d say $5-7k depending on how much work.
See what you can finagle out of the utility companies – JCPL will pay up to $1,500 for residential EV. Maybe you can offset some of the service price.
My estimate is based on all new conduit from the service entrance to the panel. New conduit, meter pan, panel, breakers, EV charger, etc.
And if you are going to do it, upgrade to combo arc/ground fault breakers for the bedrooms at a minimum.

MAGA congresswoman and professional attention-seeker Marjorie Taylor Greene turned Dr. Anthony Fauci’s House testimony into a freak show on Monday when she pointedly refused to call the former White House chief medical adviser “doctor” and demanded he be prosecuted for “crimes against humanity.”
The Capitol Hill hearing, which was Fauci’s first public appearance there since retiring in late 2022, was held by a House subcommittee investigating the United States’ COVID-19 pandemic response and the origins of the virus. Just ahead of his appearance, the panel released transcripts of his closed-door, 14-hour testimony in January, during which he said he doesn’t believe the “lab leak” theory is a conspiracy theory but maintained that the virus occurred naturally.
Greene, who has long railed against COVID vaccines and described the pandemic as a “manufactured plague,” began her questioning of Fauci by accusing him of “signing off” on medical experiments using dogs, erroneously saying he did so as the director of the National Institute of Health. (Fauci was previously the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.)
“As a dog lover, I want to tell you this is disgusting and evil,” Greene exclaimed while holding up disturbing images of canines involved in experiments. “So the type of science that you are representing, Mr. Fauci, is abhorrent! And it needs to stop.” The Georgia lawmaker, who was repeatedly fined during the pandemic for not wearing a mask on the House floor, continued to dismiss the infectious disease specialist’s credentials.
While holding up a Daily Mail headline, she claimed Fauci once admitted to “making up” COVID guidelines on social distancing and children wearing face masks, prompting him to push back.
“I never said I made it up,” Fauci declared. “I said it is not based in science and it just appeared.” Earlier in his testimony, Fauci noted that this came from his closed-door testimony while also pointing out that the guidance initially came from the Centers for Disease Control.
Greene once again held up the image of beagles while, snarking, “but this is science,” leading Fauci to exclaim: “What do dogs have to do with anything we’re talking about today?”
After moving on to reports showing that the NIH received $710 million in royalties from pharmaceutical companies since the start of the pandemic, Greene wondered if that was “appropriate” for the scientific community. “Do the American people deserve to be abused like that, Mr. Fauci? Because you’re not, doctor. You’re Mr. Fauci in my few minutes,” she added. “No, I don’t need your answer.”
Juice: If he is found guilty, the left will say it was a sham, and the system failed. Of course, there are people who are saying the same thing about Trumps felony conviction. The difference is Trump was found guilty based primarily on the testimony of another convicted felon. So, there you go.

LAX: It most certainly is not pretzel logic. It’s not illogical at all .
Juice: Understood, but the left will say this was a witch hunt and only done to hurt Biden, and it is being done to hurt Biden, same as hurting Trump. This is what we have degenerated to. The Report should be ashamed of themselves for forcing Trump on voters again, and Biden should be ashamed of himself for running for a second term.
3b – Garland appointed Weiss as special counsel after the sweetheart deal was rejected by the Judge, the gun case was to be wiped from his record and he would have walked on the tax charges too. It all stinks but nobody should get that kind of special treatment.

Though 20 years ago they would have been edgy enough to put Fauci in a 3-way in the scene.
Juice: Agreed, but the Dem supporters are silent on this.
Joe and Hunter Biden are CIA assets. Ukraine is basically a CIA outpost hellbent on expanding NATO and mitigating Russian influence over western Europe. Burisma’s purpose was to take over Ukraine’s energy companies and resources before Russia did.
Both Biden’s will never be touched.
Trump had no idea what was going on when he called Zelinsky.
It explains everything.

3b – They aren’t silent, he has Abbey Lowell as his criminal defense attorney @ $1500 and hour. This is costing them millions. His Sugar Daddy Kevin Morris, says he is tapped out, he has “loaned” Hunter something like 5 million. You can bet other deep pockets are stepping forward. This should all be considered illegal campaign contributions.
Again – Right int he open too in the NY Times.
They need money and now. “Donors” for Hunter Biden….it’s as ridiculous as sending money to Trump.
“With Mr. Biden’s trial on gun charges set to begin on Monday in Delaware, Mr. Morris has said he might need to sell some real estate holdings or other assets if others do not step up to fill the gap, according to people familiar with the situation. He hopes to pressure the president’s advisers into helping find new donors, people close to the situation said.”

E-Trade is having internal discussions about whether to ban Keith Gill — the meme stock trader who just disclosed a big position in GameStop — from the trading platform over concerns regarding potential market manipulation, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The brokerage, owned by Morgan Stanley, hasn’t reached a decision yet, the Journal said, citing people familiar with deliberations inside the firm.
GameStop shares shot up early Monday after Gill, who goes by “DeepF——Value” on Reddit, posted a screenshot of what could be his portfolio holding a significant amount of GameStop common shares and call options. The meme stock leader holds 5 million shares of GameStop and a position of 120,000 call options with a strike price of $20 that expire on June 21, purchased for about $5.68 each, the screenshot showed.
E-Trade declined comment to CNBC, noting “we don’t publicly discuss the individual activity of our clients.”
Morgan Stanley’s global financial-crimes unit and external counsel began debating if it should cancel Gill’s account as the firm monitored his account activity, the Journal said.
The brokerage found that in May Gill had bought call options before he posted on social media platform X, the Journal said, adding that some of those contracts expired that week, meaning he likely made a profit.
The meme stock mania in 2021 led to a series of congressional hearings, including testimony by Gill, around brokers’ practices and gamifying retail stock trading. Gill also faced several class action lawsuits, including one alleging that he pretended to be a novice trader despite being a licensed professional.
Gill worked as a marketing and financial education employee at MassMutual in 2019 and 2020.

Very: My point is the conviction is suspect, based on the facts and circumstances, and the law, and the fact that the star witness is a convicted felon it makes the conviction suspect, and yes it was political. If the left just examined the facts and circumstances of the case, as well as the law, and left Trump out of it, they would have to agree the case was bogus.
I despise Trump, but I don’t like political show trials, it sets a bad precedent going forward.

Yes. Doing one for the left would keep it fair and balanced. And can fleece both sides.
People are convicted every day based on testimony from convicted felons. This is nothing new. There was little if anything that Cohen testified to that wasn’t corroborated by another witness. The jury heard the evidence and reached a unanimous verdict.

Several things are happening at the same time.
-A lot of cash purchase investors to rent/flip/tear down & build higher density.
-Conforming loans topping at 1.1+m is pushing hot air into demand balloon which forces those with purchasing with conforming mortgage to buy at higher price from now omnipresent cash purchase middle man doing his flip/tear down-higher density build.
-Because of the above, the traditional family conforming loan buyer can’t compete in first to market old boomer selling housing. They got to settle for the same house being sold to them for 20% higher after a coat of paint.
Only thing that will stop it is higher rates that will stop conforming demand and force cash investors to choke on their purchases.

…and will probably be overturned on appeal.
The appellate court in NY is chock full of DEI appointees so I’m not so sure it’ll happen. The only appeal that will work is for those used as political shields have finally had enough and will pull the lever for Trump.

Is anyone surprised that an over-the-hill stooge like this guy — who enjoys being governed by an idiot like Kamala Harris — would make the preposterous claim that T’s trial was legitimate? The trial was actually such a sham — even the president of El Salvador is embarrassed for us — that some of the left’s talking heads can’t defend it. I though this assessment by CNN’s legal analyst, Elie Honig, was on-point…
“he DA’s charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law and due process. That’s not on the jury. That’s on the prosecutors who chose to bring the case and the judge who let it play out as it did…The charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented. In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever.”

Former Republican congressman Ken Buck told Daily Show host Jon Stewart on Monday that he left Congress because he “couldn’t tell the lie” that the 2020 election was stolen.
“I think the problem right now is everybody gets their news sources in silos and they just keep getting reinforced with certain ideas,” Buck told Stewart, before recalling, “I went to a neighbor’s house the day after the 2020 election, their flag was upside down.”
“You live next to the Alitos?!” Stewart interrupted as Buck and the audience laughed.
The former congressman continued, “Close. I knocked on the door and asked them, ‘Your flag’s upside–” I thought they made a mistake!”
After Stewart asked, “Do you miss Congress in any way? Do you feel it was a job left undone for you?” Buck, who retired from Congress in March, replied, “I left because I couldn’t tell the lie. 2020 election wasn’t stolen. The January 6 defendants aren’t political prisoners.”
“You’re a victim of cancel culture,” Stewart suggested, prompting Buck to respond, “Well, one, I’m not a victim. If anything, I am absolutely blessed beyond belief with six grandkids.”
He continued, “But, you know, there’s a lot of life out there besides arguing about nothing and telling lies, and so I made a choice to go enjoy what I’ve got left.”

I caught NJNG doing to the same to me for years. Had a $30 a month service contract tacked on to my bill every month for 12 years. The previous homeowner had it, I never signed up for it, NJNG just kept billing it.
I don’t look at my utility bills that close unless something is way out of whack. I only caught it because they sent me a letter changing their service terms or something.
Some back and forth, and they cut me a check for about $4K. They wanted to give me a credit, but I mentioned to some manager that I play golf with one of their bigwigs on the finance side, I’d ask him to look into it. Check was mailed the next day.

FAB – It’s official Russian disinformation has been introduced as evidence into the Hunter Biden gun trial. A silver MacBook Pro covered in a plastic wrapper was first publicly sighted today at 2.10pm when it was carried across the court by prosecutor Derek Hines to his first witness FBI Special Agent Erika Jensen, who then identified the property as the defendant’s laptop with certainty.
This laptop which affected the outcome of the 2020 election should be grounds for a mistrial. Barely 2 weeks before the 2020 election on October 19th a group of 51 former senior intelligence officials, who had served in four different administrations, including the Trump administration, released an open letter stating that the release of the alleged emails “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation”.
Three days later Joe Biden used that same exact talking point during the presidential debate against Donald Trump on October 22nd effecting the outcome of the election.
Here is an opinion on what really happened behind the scenes from the WSJ.

Why did it take him 3.5 years to do anything about the border crisis?

Deny, deny, deny and lie. The press ate up the planted Russian disinformation story by the Biden campaign and Joe Biden lied his ass off in the debates to the American voters about his families dealings and the money. Sleepy Joe needs to pardon Hunter now preemptively before the tax evasion trials in California even begin, otherwise into the trial and court records will be all of the various money laundering LLCs some 20 something shell companies that were setup to launder money, bank records show a pattern to evade taxes for many Biden family members, perhaps even sleepy China Joe the “big guy” himself. His brother is facing his own criminal investigation now too, did his grand kids pay taxes on the money they got from those LLCs, how about Hallie Biden the grieving widow who was wired money too?
The Russians, the Russians. The Chinese.
Keep looking at them. Focus.
While the Biden’s and Trumps are busy raiding the till.
Hunter Biden and his clan are all corrupt. Will they ever see jail?
No, they are above the law. Banana Republic ahead.
Juice, re: Hunter’s laptop introduced as evidence in the gun trial…had a similar thought. Not nearly getting the press it should.
The Biden strategy regarding the laptop was to discredit…to the point of even trying to say that it was not his…
Fairly notable, in a court of law subject to perjury, there was no objection from the defense [Biden] side to its introduction as evidence or the testimony of the agent tying it to Hunter.
In other words, the Bidens yet again knowingly lied through their teeth on this topic as well, until they could no longer.
“…about the three year mark [Biden] tried to pass a comprehensive bill that Trump – the great patriot – had his minions block…”
You’ve demonstrated yourself a smart man here, care to re-evaluate this dumbass statement?
The only reason at the ‘three year mark’ – which was less than a year away from the upcoming election – that Biden even thought about talking about limiting border crossings was because polls showed in excess of 70% of the population disagreeing with his policy….
HIS move was pure politics, a weak rear guard action for weak liberal minds to try to find cover for his wildly unpopular underlying policies ahead of an election…
And you call MAGA dupes? If you truly believe what you type – that Joe all along wanted to limit border crossings and it was the mean Repubs blocking him – I just don’t know what to say lol.
Literally one of the first Exec orders he signed – first day in office – was one rescinding the powers and policies under DJT that limited border crossings FFS.
Left – they tried in pretrial motions, saying it was not authentic. Judge tossed it, no evidence of such and well they aren’t going to subpoena and investigate Apple to see if their iCloud was hacked. The visual evidence the recording and pictures being used in the trial have been vetted by the FBI.
Again who is pay Abbey Lowell and his extensive team? Why are they protecting Hunter Biden who by all accounts is garbage. What does Hunter know about the big guy and his role in all the LLCs and bank accounts Hunter setup to grift millions of dollars?
What if he decides to flip? He could be facing allot of years in jail here. I would love to know if Weiss even had the balls to offer a deal.
It was political, but it should have been passed none-the-less. There is no guarantee Trump is going to win the next election. Then what do you have? Republicans responsible for another five years of immigration policy that 70% of the population is against. In the immigration chess game, Biden won that one.
Trump isn’t going to win. He needs at least 10 million additional votes and those votes need to come from the city slickers. Not going to happen.

They also said all of the Jewish names were deleted from the book. I’m not sure if it was all of them or those just in the JSU, but nonetheless, someone is about to be expelled permanently. Worse yet, both the Superintendent and the faculty advisor, called the incident an error. The Jewish mayor called it an act of hate, which it truly was. Anti-semitism is truly alive and well and selfishness continues to rear its ugly head.

I agree. Instead, the Dem gravy train will continue to roll down the tracks.
My MAGApp is coming along nicely. I am using a precoded template, but I have to start somewhere. I think you will all get a very good laugh out of this likely, supreme waste of time. Truth is, I am doing it to learn how to code an app. I’ve been out of the game for the past 35 years, so I wanted to catch up a bit.
I thought that ChatGPT or some other AI is practically supposed to code for you now.
About 20 years ago I taught myself to program in R to do a lot of applied statistics for financial data. I really just wanted access to advanced statistical and graphing packages, and learned just enough programming to get it done. It was a lot of work.
One thing I learned was that 70% of the work was looking through the quality of data, identifying outliers, thinking about the distribution of the data and its shape, and deciding what the appropriate kind of analysis and connection of it should be. I worry that in the age of AI, there’s going to be a lot of garbage-in, garbage-out. AI won’t replace the need for how to think about the data. But it could have saved me a lot of time researching how to code particular functions and in writing/debugging the actual code.
Maybe with enough AI help I could get some of this done again, but I haven’t written/run code for about the last 15 years, now that I’ve got junior people to do that stuff for me.
Anti-semitism is truly alive and well and selfishness continues to rear its ugly head.
Join the party. So is racism, gay hate, misogyny, misandry, and best of all, the most important one, class warfare.

By the way, I was in NYC all day on Sunday. Quite honestly, it’s no different than it was in the past 20 years except more mom & pop stores have converted to chains. Actually, we spent a lot of the day down in the financial district and then did Dim Sum and walked around the Bowery. Chinatown is clearly thriving like the rest of the city. There’s a lot of political narrative around the decline of the cities and blue leadership. I didn’t see it this trip whatsoever. I also didn’t experience any traffic whatsoever. Drove from the Lincoln Tunnel all the way to Battery Bark in about 12 minutes. This congestion pricing, is going to be over by the Fall.
More old posts of mine from 2021.
The whole dismissal of it as a conspiracy theory was the media’s doing. Complete lack of logic and due diligence based in their need for all things Trump ever said need to be 100% wrong.
The fact is, the NIH did fund either directly or indirectly, gain of function research. Fauci tried to lie or be clever with his words when grilled by Rand Paul on this issue. The problem is, these things are published in journals and there is a paper trail of who funded it and when. I think they figured, well, we can just say it’s been “debunked” and everyone will accept it and move on. Didn’t happen.
The facts haven’t suddenly changed.
1. There is no record of precursors to this virus found in any species to date
2. This virus, which supposedly comes from bats, doesn’t seem to infect bats in any meaningful way
3. Several virologists did express concerns about the certain genetic characteristics found in the viral machinery that typically, are evolutionarily stable. This appears to be a deviation from that
4. The Wuhan viral institute actually had 4 or 5 accidents involving the original SARS virus in subsequent years which resulted in worker infection. So they have a history of screwing up.
5. This virus outbreak happened to happen in the same city as the Wuhan Viral Institute
6. There is credible evidence that the workers there were infected.
7. Satellite images show the hospital’s parking lot in Wuhan being exceedingly full
even in months prior to the official date of the outbreak.
8. China basically spread disinformation on the virus and tried to cover up a lot of things with respect to it. Still to this day, there is no transparency.
Are we really supposed to believe in that many coincidences? The intentions of the gain of function research may have been good and the release of the virus was likely accidental. But seriously, do you think having a country that pollutes the earth, dumps plastic into the ocean, destroys their own environment, really should be trusted with due diligence in handling potentially deadly viruses?
When Robert Redfield expressed his opinion just 8 weeks ago that he thought it was man made.
Redfield said the virus’s strength, in how easily it spreads, suggests it was developed in a lab. If it had come from animals, it would have likely taken more time to adapt to spreading between humans, he said.
“I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human — and, at that moment in time, the virus came to the human, became one of the most infectious viruses that we know in humanity for human-to-human transmission,” Redfield said. “It takes a while for it to figure out how to become more and more efficient in human-to-human transmission. I just don’t think this makes biological sense.”
He was asked whether he believes the lab was working to specifically make the virus more efficient. “Let’s just say, I have a coronavirus, and I’m working on it — most of us in the lab are trying to grow virus,” he said. “We try to make it grow better and better and better and better, so we can do experiments and figure out about it. That’s the way I put it together.”
The most likely origin “was from a laboratory — you know, escaped,” said Redfield, who served during former President Donald Trump’s administration. “Other people don’t believe that. That’s fine. Science will eventually figure it out.”
Redfield added that he was “not implying any intentionality,” or accusing China of purposefully releasing the virus, and that he guesses it “started transmitting somewhere in September, October, in Wuhan.”

Here’s Bloomberg’s “fact check” to immediately cast doubt. Note, they don’t address any evidence or scientific arguments, they merely quote their god, Fauci saying that his opinion doesn’t make “biological sense”
Well, one striking difference is the stores have everything locked up. Take a trip to Penn station. When I was there, there was an open drug flea mini market right outside MSG right in front of the police. Meanwhile, they tried handcuffing an immigrant 14 year old girl for selling fruit in a park not far away. This ain’t the same place it was. Not by a long shot.
But is the need for more security a Blue thing? Or is it simply a reflection of the increase in the differences between the haves and the have nots? Nowhere is this more concentrated than in “blue” cities. How do you suggest we fix this?
(Reuters) -Hiring by U.S. private employers slid to a four-month low in May, with small firms reducing staff, and wage gains for job changers moderated for a second month, according to a report on Wednesday that added to signs the job market is cooling.
Private payrolls increased by 152,000 jobs last month – the fewest since January and well below the average of 194,000 over the past year – after rising by a downwardly revised 188,000 in April, the ADP Employment report showed. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast private employment increasing by 175,000 last month.
Oh no, Diaper Joe! Say it ain’t so!!

NYC congestion pricing plan shelved indefinitely
The MTA is pushing “pause” on New York City’s first-in-the-nation congestion pricing plan indefinitely, according to an official briefed on the plans. The toll program, years in the making, had been set to roll out later this month.
No new start date has been set.
The official briefed on the plans says the MTA will circulate a list of projects that could be impacted without known funding. Congestion pricing was expected to be a $15 billion windfall for the cash-strapped agency, delivering capital to help pay for new trains and signals as well as other fixes to modernize the aging system.
The “indefinite pause” development came shortly after a high-level source briefed on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s thinking said she was considering delaying the launch.
The source said the idea would be to hold the toll plan until and after the courts weigh in and until and after final federal signoff. It would also allow time to gather more metrics on how the city’s commuting patterns are recovering post-pandemic and for people’s economic outlooks to improve, according to the source.
Implementing the toll now would hurt everyday people too much, the source says of the governor’s thinking. And midtown Manhattan hasn’t recovered to the point where this would be the right time for congestion pricing.
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/traffic/transit-traffic/congestion-pricing-delay-hochul/5478988/?break=nbc8792&_osource=newltr_station_Hdlines_wnbc
Congesting pricing might have worked if they put real money and had real progress in the Mass Transit system.
But that money went to Ukraine. Or maybe the kids in your local schools could have had air conditioning and unstained ceiling tiles in their schools.
Hehe.
Fast: ADP numbers have historically been inaccurate, but they do provide some insight. Friday will be the BLS jobs report, and that will be the one to look at.
Implementing the toll now would hurt everyday people too much.

All journalism is motivated journalism these days.
The first time I really noticed how media bias works was in 1990 when I drove two hours a day to university and listened to NPR. For 9 months running up to the election, with Bush Sr. running for re-election, NPR had nonstop coverage of sob-stories in the economy, how bad it was, etc. (It officially started July 1990 but as always, recession starts are backdated). The economy wasn’t great, but it wasn’t a crisis. The key was, they loved covering every possible woe.
In contrast, look at today, with the left media running stories about how ignorant the common man is for thinking the economy is worse than Biden says it is. Undoubtedly they are finding happy stories to run to bolster the political position of their old man.
I’m sure Fox is running stories about how the US is a hellscape under Biden, just as CCCPTV would be if Trump were now in power.
When I was there, there was an open drug flea mini market right outside MSG right in front of the police.

Any recommendations on an inexpensive power washer, just for concrete patio and my neighbors ugly vinyl fence that he does not clean. I looked at rental and it’s 60 plus bucks for 4 hours. It would be cheaper to buy one and have it. I just need a basic/ simple one, also gas or electric, any difference?
It’s time to privatize the US’ entire road system.
Here’s roughly how it would work:
Every license plate will require a wireless transmitter/receiver with GPS. Cheap electronics now makes this very cheap. Every vehicle is tagged for type of vehicle. Every transmitter must be connected to some funding source.
The government and states and towns must auction off every single road. Road concession owners will have rules about providing safe conditions, capacity, pricing, etc.
Vehicles pay to use the roads, charged via a standard interface with the transmitter.
Those payments fund the investments and maintenance that concession owners require to support and grow the road system.
Before you start crying about your fears of the market failing this and that, try to remember that most of the crappiest products and services provided in other realms of your life are from government, and the best products and services you receive are from private enterprise. And remember that your roads are not “free” and that you are already paying for them multiple ways via the corrupt machinations of various political machines, while getting poor quality service in return.
Note that Trump never proposed anything at all like this and made minimal progress in his supposed big push for infrastructure, which shows you how useless he is in thought and action.
“The source said the idea would be to hold the toll plan until and after the courts weigh in and until and after final federal signoff.”
The source said the idea would be to hold the toll plan until and after the 2024 House and Senate races are decided in the tri-state area.

Of course most of the privatized roads would ultimately be owned by investors in long term assets like pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, people’s 401k plans, etc. Like the privately owned and maintained freight rail system, which operates smoothly and much more efficiently than government rail.

SmallGov,
Do you think all the historic rightwing antisemitism disappeared because the religious right decided to have a love affair with Israel? Have you considered that rightwing Christians motivation for their love of Israel is because the “Rapture” can’t take place until all the Jews are in Israel. I wouldn’t mistake their motivation as a love for Jewish people.

“(Reuters) -Hiring by U.S. private employers slid to a four-month low in May…”
Speaking of jobs, interesting Bloomberg article noting that virtually all of NYC’s recent job ‘growth’ is in government-paid home health care, and is the direct result of of a 2105 “state policy change that loosened eligibility rules for a Medicaid benefit…” that allows home health care services to hire family members. The result of this boondoggle: NY state Medicaid spending on this program alone rose from $2.5 billion in 2019 to $9.1 billion today, with the number of people receiving care skyrocketing from 19,000 to 247,000. So there is literally zero private-sector, non-taxpayer-funded job growth in NYC. When will the morons that vote Dem ever learn?

The proof is in the pudding; anti-semitism, destruction of property, and disruption of learning were not tolerated on red state campuses; they were on blue state campuses. Why can’t you admit that?
Say the kids were protesting the war in Ukraine instead of Gaza. Now the Blue colleges are no longer anti-semitic and the Red colleges? Well they no longer get to claim they got the Jews’ back.
It’s all just another narrative. I would agree that the schools in the Northeast are more open to questioning authority. Whether you find that an advantage or not is really up to you, or what your pundits on MSNBC and FoxNews tell you.
Libturd wrote: “schools in the Northeast are more open to questioning authority”
Is that why so many student and faculty bend the knee and re-bleat the neoMarxist orthodoxy of their intellectual leaders? Students pushing the woke worldview are obedient pawns of their worst professors, not questioners of authority.
Real bravery in schools now comes from students or professors questioning or challenging the neoMarxist/DEI agenda, not conforming to the authorities who teach and promote it. Or professors like BRT who dared challenge the brain-dead “consensus” on climate or COVID, topics that are wielded by authorities to excuse the worst abuses of government power.
Lib: You can’t question authority, if you are totally clueless. The Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ethnic slaughter of indigenous Black Africans in Sudan by Arabs, the destruction of the Uighurs in China, not a peep out of these north eastern colleges who are questioning authority as you say. Israel gets attacked and it’s called questioning authority. I mean no disrespect, but I think some American Jews have trouble reconciling that there is anti Semitism on the left, and a lot of it.
Juice: Thanks for the information. I am heading to Home Depot later today to get one, and that is what I will look for.
Oh, I don’t doubt there is anti-semitism on the left. Though, I would argue, it’s probably no different on the right, and potentially worse on the far right.
3b,
Juice gave sound advice. I would have weighed in, but he was spot on.
3B – wear safety glasses or you will shoot your eye out. Same for footwear unless you plan on trimming your toenails with it. Powerwashers especially 0 degrees (red nozzle), 15 degrees (yellow nozzle) are used for heavy-duty cleaning and can poke a hole in anything not stone or metal.
Lib: Thanks on the power wash confirmation. I would say far left is worse than the far right on anti Semitism, or at least equal.
Things heating up with Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon/ northern Israel.
Powerwasher! I have a nice little scar on my wrist where the powerwasher stream “kissed” my arm. Cut right through the flesh. Went deep! Wear gloves.

Not to speak for him but ‘chi’ is the Chicago School of Economics, ie. University of Chicago…
You know, that flyover university founded in the late 1800s by the wealthiest man in America in partnership with the Baptists to promote modern scientific research and ‘morals’…..
And, speaking as a small government conservative, in a heartbeat I would take any of Stanford, Chicago, Duke, or Virginia law and business schools over the current intellectual mudpit in Cambridge. Hell, throw Northwestern and Michigan on that list as well…

Cost to remove the trees and plant decent size native trees would be 6-7k. $2,300 to remove and grind the stumps and $900 $1,500 a new tree delivered and installed depending on species and size. Figure it’s cheaper to treat the ash trees at this point.

Saved hardly any money and spent 5-6 hours pruning, renting and going to the truck.

He is simply no better than Trump in my opinion, and make no mistake I do not want Trump and I don’t want Biden either.
My point is they saw Trump as the latest threat to their power, we were warned in 1961 during Eisenhower’s farewell address and well JFK was no fan of the CIA either. Later when their activities threatened Reagan’s presidency Poindexter shredded the documents Casey took a dirt nap.
