Home Sales Drop in June to Their Lowest Level in 9 Months as Prices Hit New All-Time High
Sales of previously owned homes dropped in June, marking a slow start to summer for the housing market as affordability challenges continued to weigh on demand.
Existing-home sales fell 2.7% last month from May, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.39 million, the National Association of Realtors® reported on Wednesday.
The June figure was unchanged from a year earlier, and marked the first month since September 2024 that the annualized sales pace dipped below 4 million.
Home prices continued to climb, with the median existing-home sales price hitting $435,300 in June, up 2% from a year ago and reaching a new all-time high. June typically marks the seasonal peak for home prices each year, as families scramble to finalize purchases before the school year begins.
“Multiple years of undersupply are driving the record-high home price,” says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “Home construction continues to lag population growth. This is holding back first-time home buyers from entering the market.”
On a regional basis, month-over-month sales declined in the Northeast, Midwest, and South and rose modestly in the West. Year over year, sales fell in the Northeast and West, while rising in the Midwest and South.
The total supply of existing homes for sale at the end of June was 1.53 million, down slightly from May, but up 15.9% from a year ago.
It represented 4.7 months of supply at the current sales pace, up from 4.6 months in May and the longest months-supply since 2016.

DEMS PULL UPSET ON EPSTEIN FILES:
In a genius move, House Democrats were able to pass a motion in the GOP-controlled House Oversight subcommittee to subpoena ALL the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Republicans were blindsided because Democrats dropped an 11th-hour motion at an unrelated hearing after noticing that most GOP members on the panel had publicly demanded the files be released.
The GOP chair was caught off guard and scrambled—first delaying the vote, then trying to sabotage it by adding amendments to include Biden administration communications. Democrats called their bluff and agreed.
Then the GOP chair, Rep. Higgins, lied, claiming the motion FAILED until Rep. Robert Garcia forced a full roll call vote.
Ultimately, the vote passed 8-2 after 3 Republicans DEFIED their leadership and joined all 5 Democrats to pass the motion.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!
Home construction continues to lag population growth.
Single family houses? Pods? I see Pod farms going up everywhere. You’re not going to see single home sub-divisions in this area so…?

Not surprising. When you’re starving for a house, you’ll eventually tread in murky waters. I’m sure Newark lurks near the top ten. Camden is next. Previous shit hole towns are welcomed.

Bottom tier of the market is always hardest hit in a bubble, and last to recover. But during the bubble, sees the fastest price growth during the tippy top – for exactly the reason FE mentioned. Negative factors are always overlooked at the top (power lines, location, busy streets, etc).
#3 Allenhurst not a surprise. Illegally gotten cash funneled into real estate then leveraged to the hilt. If it all goes south the banks left holding the bag get bailed out by you and me.

I saw a house online that I really liked about 15 years ago. A one story really cute little bungalow. When I went to check out the house in person there were power lines going right over the back yard. The pictures online showed none of that. I just drove on to the next house.

Casablancas had the modeling agency.
Trump had the beauty pageants.
Epstein was in mix
“ Amid ongoing scrutiny of President Donald Trump and his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking case, newly unearthed video shows Trump taking part as a judge in a beauty pageant that featured models as young as 14 years old.
The video in question shows Trump as one of 10 judges in Elite Model Agency’s 1991 “Look of the Year” competition. Within the video, young women and girls walk in front of Trump and others in order to be judged on both their looks and “personality,” according to the narrator.
A Guardian investigation published in 2020 found that the competition was “used by founder John Casablancas and others to engage in sexual relationships with vulnerable young models, some of whom were teenagers.”
Grim – she did not make it out of Slovenia to Paris around age 24 where she was discovered by Paolo Zampolli who got her moved to NYC around age 26 in 1996.. Old to be starting modeling in NYC.
… She was introduced by Zampolli to Trump in 1998…age 28… it supposedly happened at the old now closed gritty Times Square Kit Kat Club.
A lot of these “models” end up as well escorts to pay the bills. I would not be surprised if she was actually working the night she met Trump.
Trump was at the time running around NYC nighlife as he was separated with Marla He was at allot of clubs in NYC even for a man of his age late 40s etc… I remeber him being on Stern quite a bit back then too..

Just need to remind everyone don’t look up!!!!
The REAL files contain names of victims…lots of them.
As I have stated there were 225 women who filed a claim with the Epstein victims fund..150 of those claims were found to be credible and 125 took money for silence. Approx $121 million….. Payouts were as high as several million.
The attorneys who ran that fund for the Rich and Powerful know the names of the victims and accusers. The reason for the HUSH fund? Provide compensation to victims without requiring public trials or legal proceedings.
FBI and DOJ does not have that data, biggest cover up ever. All happened very very quickly and quietly within 2 years of his death, all claims settled under the cover of NDAs.
Do you want all the victims outed? Shall they release all of the names and let the mob tar and feather them? Need to get those files from those attorneys..if they aren’t already destroyed by now. Call the attorneys down to Congress and put them under oath? They are going to hide like rats behind every legal procedure.
There will be no Justice and Jail for the rich and powerful. Trump is only just one of many not the first and not the last.

A friend of mine daughter is a model…started modeling as a teen. She was recruited by the top agencies. Her parents were smart enough to not allow her to travel and and stay with an agency that would not let her live at home. Parents attended all shoots and events etc.
It is and always will be a seedy business. Young women and girls end up in NYC sponsored by agencies, they get meager room and board.
They may end up befriending and working for party promoters. Nightclub owners pay those promoters to bring these models to their clubs to attract men, only rich men with money to spend. You don’t get into the club past the line of bouncers if you don’t have money to spend.
The White House on Wednesday denied Democratic Gov. Wes Moore’s request for $15.8 million in disaster relief funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, to pay for repairs after heavy floods swept through Western Maryland in May.

All undesirable features of a house will be explained away using house agent vernacular and verbiage. Terms such as charmer, inviting, sun-filled and relaxing along with move-in ready, gourmet kitchen and finished basement will distract you just long enough to sign a document.
Dark: same possibility for North Plainfield. I saw a news video talking about a $15M FEMA threshold. It may only have under $10M, so instead the town council is just budgeting for the repairs across several years and hoping for the best.
Not knowing anything, $15.8M looks conspicuous. It may have been embellished to try and qualify, hence the Feds rejected it upon review.
Completely reasonable, but easily politicized if need be.
Chi,
No matter red or blue, when the people there need help, and they paid their taxes, you do a realistic assessment and pay them.
Red or blue, they are all Americans.
Epstein is sucking all the air from the grave.
Can we also talk about –
1) consumer protection out of the window
2) The $200M bribe
3) Treats to Powell
4) Block adding more of crypto to S&P500
And other ensh1tification of Amerika?
Chi – There is a billion or more in grants Maryland is currently looking for from FEMA.
Trump thinks it’s a waste…spend a billion to prevent flooding, raise properties, fix flood zones etc.
If that had happened after Hurricane Sandy the people in NY and NJ would be up in arms. There was over $50 billion handed out for recovery from Sandy.
Was the Sandy money a waste? Hard to say we will find out with the next major storm.
VSG: Are you ready to acknowledge that whether all or any of this is true, that the Biden Administration should have released the files before the election? Can you acknowledge that there may be names of prominent Democrats in the files ? Are you condoning child pornography if it only involves Democrats? Will you answer these questions?
9:54 – the first thing to acknowledge is that Epstein was killed under Trump’s watch.
Yesterday at an Asian grocery store I saw enoki mushrooms with an American flag and grown in the USA on the package. I’ve never seen enoki mushrooms before that weren’t from china or South Korea . Bought a pack to try out this weekend. Was only $1.59 also.
Still gonna jack that car price up 2k minimum that tax (cough) tariff.
What would be good is if Trump would lighten up on other aspects of car manufacturing so they could once again focus on reliabilty. The complexity on some of these new cars are causing big headaches. Easy for some politician to say “double the gas mileage in six months.” But not for the engineers who now have an impossible task.
America just reached a trade deal with Japan — US automakers are furious.
Tuesday night, President Donald Trump announced a deal to slash tariffs on Japanese imports to 15 percent, including vehicles and auto parts.
Under the deal, Japanese-built cars will face lower tariffs than the parts US automakers import to build their own.
It’s a major retreat from months of threats to impose a punishing 25 percent levy on automakers like Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Mazda, and Nissan.

Where there is demand production will follow. As long as it’s not an invasive plant its all good. Never tried them though. They look like they would be good in a soup.

I think I’ve only had enoki in soup. I saw recipes where people poach them for a minute and then sauté them with garlic, chives or scallions and coconut aminos or soy sauce for a minute or 2. I want to try that this weekend.
Most of the non portabella/button mushrooms I’ve seen grown in the US were oyster, shiitake, or trumpet. I’ve seen lions mane too in local grocery stores.
Glad to see mushrooms not grown in china becoming more common in my area.
Make sure you review the entire picture.

I binged watched clarksons farm this month on Amazon and enjoyed his venture into growing mushrooms in an old air raid shelter on his farm.
Why isn’t anyone talking about what was found in Epstein’s townhouse when it was raided? DOJ has all of it, no judge’s order required to get that pile of evidence.
Why didn’t Biden administration release Epstein files? Despite the lying claims of the Republicans, they weren’t on a campaign of political vengeance.
I would speculate that without Trump and MAGA, the Epstein case wouldn’t even be on the radar of the American public any longer.
Biden was weak. Obama knew that.

Old: That’s not the point, and it’s deflection on your part. The media and a large percentage of the public, including many here, are convinced there is damning information about Trump in the Epstein files. If that is in fact the case, then the Biden administration should have released those files.
Lots of FB insanity this morning over the quarterly property tax bill in my town.. Some are claiming increases of 27 % in property taxes.
We reassess annually, the notice comes out at year end and is adjusted the following Q1. They got an extra $1000 from me this year. I might be hearing from my bank soon about a surprise increase?
3b, why do you believe there is an actual smoking gun?
The story is old and only continues to have life due to MAGA conspiracy theories.
On the common sense side of the equation, there is enough known that plenty of powerful or once powerful people should have known what Epstein was engaged in. Anyone who flew to his island or was his best friend for a decade clearly knew something was not right and likely more than that. Doesn’t matter their politics, none of them should be trusted.

We know for fact that Bondi told Trump about being on the list.
But we don’t know if Biden knew that trump was on the list.
the cover up worked well,
who was president during Epstein assassination?
Comically, MAGA didn’t understand that Trump was on the list when they relentlessly pounded the table for its release. The cards falling the way they did required a very large pool of low IQ voters. FFS, MAGA’s obsession with pedophilia and grooming was the rallying cry of the campaign.
Don’t forget the MAGA accusation that Hillary drinks blood and part of child-trafficking cabal.
All the while Trump was fingering underage girls.
Fingering? Dude was raw dogging 14 year-olds.
Isn’t the Bill and Melinda Gates divorce also somehow related to Epstein?
Do we think Ghislaine will claim Trump is innocent in exchange for a future pardon?
MAGA needs just an inkling of plausible deniability to fall in line in time for the midterms.
VSG: So now its maybe Biden did not know Trump was on the list? Seriously??
Old: I never said there was a smoking gun, it others that believe that there is. One poster here intimated that Trump was involved with child pornography during visits to Epstein’s parties. Another poster notes that Epstein dies during the first Trump presidency, intimating that Trump had something to do with it.
Trumps name is mentioned in the files and yes they should be released, and yes the Epstein files have bit MAGA/Trump in the ass. My point is if there is in fact damning evidence against Trump in those files why didn’t the Democrats release them last year? It’s a reasonable question. Another poster here in a weak attempt to answer the question, says maybe Biden didn’t know.The thought process on the Democratic side is not working on this. The files should be released and everyone and anyone Dem or Rep , names with it. Let the American people decide.

“Epstein dies during the first Trump presidency” That is a simple fact. What conclusions you draw from that, are your own.
I noted yesterday, that before he was unalived, he had a visit from Bill Barr. The Deputy AG just took a similar trip to see Maxwell. Draw your own conclusions.
For me, what I have read, the Epstein charges were not the worst crimes she ever committed. Due to the UK/EU libel laws, when she finally passes from old age or whatever, there will be a news dump the same way there was for her father.

Yet I chose to come here.

Did Donnie order the Code Red. I dont think so, thats not his style. Donnie is always a suggested. You handle this, so there is always plausible deniability. Thats pretty much what we got from Michael Cohan.
The Barr visit is strange. Show me another AG in history that went to visit an inmate like this. Barrs father give him his first job, so at least he could say that he could recuse himself in this matter.
My speculation was that someone (not necessarily Barr) was sent to give a message. STFU and do the time. He goes I have leverage, (other copies) and now we have a missing minute. I think Maxwell saw this and is quietly serving time.
Just my speculation, but I always weigh towards Occam’s Razor
Back in I think 2015 when Donnie was first running. I posted a piece on Trumps Modeling agency. I cant remember the source and I cant find the post, but I couldn’t make it through the first page of the expose. It was sickening. As a father of daughters it hit hard.
As for Melania, I’m sure she went through the Slovenian version of the same system and same abuse getting out of her home county after the fall of Yugoslavia. Coming to the US on her Einstein visa, and how she would view US models in compromising situations, I would point you to the message on her coat when she went to tour the Kids in Cages. “I really don’t care, do you?”

Me, blaming Trump specifically doesn’t make sense. The list of people that wanted him gone…
OTOH, it’s awfully convenient. No camera, missing minutes, missing files that are “on my desk,” leaving a prisoner with something to “kill themselves.”
It wasn’t an accident. Most places are very careful when it comes to high profile people. He most certainly deserved special care. He got it all right.
The NY Post had reported it, but then redacted it. https://archive.fo/LoxIn
I never said he visited Maxwell, but she got a visit yesterday.
Dark: I agree Epstein s death is suspicious, and so speculation is justified. We also I believe have heard nothing about the correction officer/s who left him unattended for to 30 minutes or whatever it was. I just don’t believe it was Trump that had him taken out. I am sure quite a few people would have wanted Epstein gone. Of course, we may never know, but to simply say it’s Trump who had him killed is irrational.

The victims who are in the hundreds need to come forward.
AS I HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG, DON’T LOOK UP!
Hundreds of victims can tell their story to PUBLIC in a congressional setting and be given immunity. Their lawyers can SPEAK UP NOW as well Epstein is dead he cannot sue them.
This lawyer “Attorney Bradley Edwards” claims to represent 200 victims. He says the Feds don’t have the data the Epstein’s lawyers do. This is what I have been telling you all the settlements, all secret agreements stuffed in lawyers file cabinets have all the juicy meat the public wants to hear, naming names…

When Sormy Daniels, big corporations, Harvard, Columbia, etc had no chance you want them to come forward?
This is a vendetta potus.
The law needs to protect the victims not the abuser.
But of course you put your worship of orangeman before anything else.
Rent – stop being an incompetent partisan for once.
Read the article the lawyer FOR THE VICTIMS stated it clearly on TV, meaning the media is finally digging into the lawyers who are covering up all of the hard evidence that might exist outside the Epstein grand jury testimony.
“Attorney Bradley Edwards said in a Wednesday interview on MSNBC’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” that the Epstein estate possesses the 2003 “birthday book.”
He said he has “numerous” clients who can confirm the book’s authenticity and said he suspects the executors of Epstein’s estate would be willing to turn over the book if they were asked to do so.
“If they didn’t just voluntarily turn over the book, out of fear of reprisal, Congress could issue a subpoena to their attorneys,” Edwards said.”
That lawyer Bradley Edwards can contact his clients and ask them for information and pass it on. He is willing to do so for the press, he can do it under subpoena.
Victims names can be redacted if they choose to do so. This is SOP for investigations, investigators meet with victims and ask questions… Congressional hearings only happen after they send their investigators in first to do interviews and write the report for Congress.
There is a reason why Alan Dershowitz is persona non-grata on Martha’s Vineyard and it’s not because of Trump as he claims. He is lying to cover himself or his rich and powerful friends. He claims there is no client list.
And now we have the lawyer for the victims Bradley Edwards claiming there is indeed a list and more.

And my comments are partisan? There is only one truth.. and it’s not partisan.
Fab – So now no investigation? With real investigators taking names, contacting witnesses, taking statements and collecting any and all hard evidence, writing a report and presenting it to the Congress and the public?
I am confused..Democratic Policy and Communications Committee sent out several emails to last week on how to message on Epstein, they have been given their orders to lean into this.
Which is it investigation or not?
Get out there and post your tweets on X and on post Facebook and demand a congressional investigation. The executive branch the FBI and the DOJ are only going to cover it up, they cannot be trusted. It needs to be an independent investigation run by Congress.
Othewise it will die on the vine just like Trump wants it to…

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/americans-ceo-says-airline-wont-183702981.html
And one of the comment, something similar to what I have experienced but that I did not at the time think was AI/algorithm driven is this:
I recently attempted to book two trips on United through Priceline and ended up canceling both due to what felt like a bait-and-switch tactic. Each time, the initial price quoted was significantly lower than the final cost. After filling out all the forms and submitting payment, the price jumped by $200–$300 more than originally shown.
I canceled the first trip once I saw the discrepancy, then tried again to book the same package. Although it initially appeared $200 less than the first attempt, the final price once again increased by $200–$300 at checkout.
In the end, I canceled both bookings and went with Alaska Airlines instead. This was for a cross-country trip from San Diego to New York, with a hotel stay in Times Square.
Gary, how is that AI regulation going?
Using a privacy browser like duck duck go will probably yield better results.
Flipping between the three major cable news channels:
MSNBC: Tulsi is evil, Hegseth Signal breach worse than Clinton emails, Epstein and more Epstein.
CNN: Alligator Alcatraz is a concentration camp, Epstein and more Epstein, Trump approval worst ever.
FOX: A dem on the panel said inflation is higher under Trump than O’Biden, Trump to consider FED rebate checks.
“And one of the comment, something similar to what I have experienced but that I did not at the time think was AI/algorithm driven is this:”
Thats not AI, thats someone who doesn’t know how to book their own travel. The price displayed up front was probably basic economy, when they went to book selected economy and prices increased. Or the sticker price didn’t include taxes/fees. I refuse to believe it was after submitting payment.
The “cheaper” airlines like Frontier definitely have bait and switch pricing – although like you said (11:42) is likely not AI driven.
11:41 and?
O’Biden – sounds like a marriage between Orange Man and Biden.. just so you know.
With democrats booted out of the traditionally bi-partisan consumer protection agency, this is just a big hit for chezmix americans like Gary.
11:41 Gary is a dumbass film at Eleven
When asked how democrats would fight inflation, the reply was: “Work with companies.”
When asked for specifics, the reply was: “Work with companies to find ways to reduce prices.”
When you have no business sense, no business experience, haven’t toiled in economic trenches and have little to no charisma, these are the answers you can expect.
Must use AI. It’s great. Build more power plants. This one is for Donald.
Not as good as the “LA Fire Department, but it is good.

12:41, The govt has a role to play and it is not charisma. This isn’t hollywood… details are in regulation, policies and taxation, among others.
It’s a boring job – working with companies and keeping them accountable.
This is a lot better than colluding with companies, removing regulations, removing properitws from flood lines for profit, etc. and being part of the problem.
RL
Not AI, but for instance, car companies charge different prices in different states for the same car, as there are deals available for models depending on location.
So you might get a discount on a pickup in Texas that you won’t get in Jersey.
If medications are priced by location, so is everything else.
Properitws – the absolute number of bounces a dropped jelly bean will make before rolling under the couch.
I will admit, you encourage me to not correct my typos.
Silicon Valley titan Intel will slash 25,000 jobs this year as it battles to turn around its flagging fortunes.
The engines of America are spooling down.
12:41 Trump bankruptcies count as business experience? How to fuck over bond holders? Business experience. Pedophilia and human trafficking … also “business experience”.
DP – I believe I shared that news about Intel earlier. All the gains in major indices are from a small set of companies, while the majority are struggling and cutting costs. And then there is Microsoft breaking record revenues and slashing jobs.
Fast: AOC and Mamdani can work with companies to bring down prices, they have absolutely no business experience, but they read about it, and I am sure no what to do to get these prices down.Sandy and Zohran will get it done,
Corporate social responsibility is officially dead – along with any pretense of it. Big Tech isn’t even pretending anymore; they’ve scrubbed the “do no evil” fluff from their mission statements and replaced it with… nothing. As Citizens United keeps tightening its grip, the message is clear: corporations and citizens are adversaries, not allies. Govt is supposed to serve people, not billion-dollar boardrooms. You’d think someone flaunting an MBA would have figured that out by now.
As for Mamdani is concerned, given that the others are not in the interest of people, he is a far better bet.
Momdani is a cry baby, never worked a hard day in his life, and is angry he is not as successful as his parents. Of course if he actually worked instead of trying to be a rap singer, he might have got some where.
All he has to offer is tired old socialist nonsense, that simply does not work. One does not need to have an MBA to understand that socialism equals failure. AOC and Zohran the moron what a team!
Dark: Intel has been struggling for years. They cant seem to turn it around.
Momdani wasn’t Epstein’s best friend.
But there’s video of Epstein and his best friend
VSG: Yes, and Vera Wang sent a birthday card to Epstein, so we need to add that to the list. That said Momdani is a still a moron.
One of my friends from Chicago is a classic NYC progressive. Nice guy, but went to Trinity, then Duke, then went on an alternative career path to pursue his passion. However, it is the kind of thing only a trust fund baby could do. Fast forward 4 years and he is getting an MBA at Chicago. Smart guy, but horribly inefficient worker. Control freak when you are middle manager is a death sentence. Underemployed and finally becomes entrepreneur. Which is a disaster, because how to fire the CEO when you are the CEO. Sad story that both his parents then die young, but he inherits a boatload of money at roughly age 35. Married a high powered attorney. But what do you say? Big ideas. Big mouth. Big money. Big connections. But ultimately a windbag that destroys anything he touches by overwatering the flowers.
Of course politically he is super progressive, but is a total limousine liberal. Massive attitude and talks down to and about people “less educated”. NYC is loaded with these stuffed shirts with big attitudes, bigger mouths, and huge egos.

Chicago: I know a few of them too, some are decent enough, but totally naive. I am amazed at how little they know about a multitude of subjects despite the impeccable educational credentials. Others, are real bastards, have nothing but contempt for those they deem beneath them, and yet in the same breath will tell you how they about the poor and the little guy. They also think they know what the Black and Hispanic communities need and what they think, but have almost zero contact with them, except for perhaps their house keeper.
And they all live in overwhelmingly white neighborhoods and will sometimes venture to soul food restaurants in Harlem, so they can keep it real. Self righteous, arrogant, , and some are prejudiced too, but try and hide it. I have seen it multiple times. As for Momdani, I am shocked but I guess I should not be, that supposedly educated people are buying the BS, this lazy entitled charlatan is selling.
Chicago,
You are the perfect sample for the callous clueless meritocracy that has developed in this country. I see your where your snobby attitude comes from.
I thought you would get a clue by now after your story about your Albanian family’s experience when the presume communist dictator eminent domain away your family farmland to build housing for homeless earthquake victims.
If there was a moral valid reason to lose property to eminent domain is the assistance of homeless earthquake victims. What did your family lost? Probably a goat and donkey hang out that is a potato field. Is freaking Albania for god’s sake. Did they repossess the family donkey powered four wheel cart? Is not like it was taken away to build some for profit development like Epstein’s Discount Albanian Resort. Is discounted because the girls tend to have mustaches, you know the eastern European backwater in-bred thing.
I digress, call the young new york Bernie Sanders whatever you like. But this is the best deal around. The other option that is going to make itself felt sooner or later and hard is organized crime in lieu of social safety net. Already the rule of law is out of the window. Adams sold out the integrity of NYPD. Want a promotion pay $15k. Is a matter of time before those ICE agent raids are also mugging of cash and sexually abusing the arrestees. They are probably taking bribes now and of course cartel like violence following behind.
“I digress, call the young new york Bernie Sanders whatever you like. But this is the best deal around. ”
What does the above comment mean, best deal around?
Not a questions of calling him whatever one likes, its calling him what he is.
1. Never had a real job.
2. Angry.
3. Entitled.
4. Ill informed.
5. Charlatan.
6. Espouses a failed economic system, guy never had a real job, or worked a hard day in his life, but believes in taking the money from those who have and do, and he will decide how it should be spent.
7. Racist.
8. Anti Semitic.
3b,
It means deal with things the working class needs assistance for.
Housing. Yeah you got to tackle big real estate head on. Take away the NY State and New York City real estate deductions that power most of the speculation that creates a problem.
The city owned groceries issue comes from the Small Retailers’ Association very pro-bodega anti-big store stance. Yeah you can get anything legal or illegal you want nearly 24/7 in a bodega. But for the working class family that does not have a car to go to BJs, Costco or Walmart outside the city limits or can’t afford Fresh Directs and alike the Bodega’s are a daily visit where they overpay.
Education, yeah it stinks for the average kid because there a lot of complicated issues, like many coming from Chicago like old country where they still go cruising on the family donkey powered 4 wheel cart which might or might not have a machine gun turret.
But NYC school systems do have odd educational program skills that are kick ass. Want to become an elevator repairman or be trained in theatre operations and have union jobs when you graduate? Add the science, tech and performance schools.
Number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 – frankly all your points are not disqualifiers. The mighty King Ruler of the Bald, The Oranges, The Crypto Meme and High Lord of a 3rd Rate Scottish Golf Course is highly proud of those descriptions you mentioned.
All my numbers are reasons he should be disqualified. The rest of your post is rhetoric and or incoherent. As for the supermarket and free buss ideas, they don’t and won’t work.
Away from that, you should stop with the stupid 10 word handle and stop hiding.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, are longtime owners of a $1.5 million house in a gated community in McKinney. In 2015, they snapped up a second home in Austin. Then another.
The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records. The lower rates will save the Paxtons tens of thousands of dollars in payments over the life of the loan, legal experts say.
Ghislaine Maxwell, who sources told ABC News initiated the meetings with the Department of Justice, answered questions for about nine hours over two days after being granted a limited form of immunity, the sources said.
The immunity allowed Maxwell to freely answer Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s questions without fear that her responses could later be used against her, the sources said.
It’s all a show.
I learnt a bit about Sigurimi just now. And I like the vivid imagery of the donkey hangout.
RT 46 Parsippany flooded.
Keep building more condos
Maxwell’s lawyer said she just listed out about 100 people under limited immunity, his lawyer did not say who.
Maxwell was convicted of crimes from 1994 -2004 commited in Florida…could be allot of rich folks walking around now that maybe should not be.
One has to wonder why Biden’s DOJ did not offer her a deal for the bigger fish? SDNY under Merrick Garland and US Attorney Damian Williams, lead prosecutors Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maurene Comey, Alison Moe, Lara Pomerantz, and Andrew Rohrbach. They convicted Maxwell in December of 2021..when Sleepy Joe was president.

It took the handyman way longer than expected but he got it done without complaining.
Final material cost: $2500
Labor: $3500
Its 12×8 and has a loft inside as well. I am quite happy with the results but would have paid more attention to the doors ahead of time or got a door kit if I knew the guy needed so much help.

I don’t follow this blog as much as I once did due to all of the crap going on, but I will tell you your shed looks like a handyman or a homeowner did it. I put one in that I bought from Amish Mikes in Budd Lake for $2400 complete, two windows, same doors with a keyed lock, vents, better angled roof , paint matched house, excellent quality. I also installed it on a real concrete pad which probably cost 700-800 because I used a cement delivery truck.
Which included 3 hours of labor. Google it Amish Mikes sheds.
The city transformed itself under Rudy and Mini-Mike. DeBlasio was handed a golden goose and completely destroyed it. Adams has just been useless. But NYC can’t get out of it’s own way and every day, more and more of it’s good citizens flee to the NJ suburbs.
There’s a little French dive bar in grand case on St Martin that has the Charlie Hebdo Mohammed “je suis charlie” cover framed behind the bar. It’s not new, I’d guess it’s been up there since that issue printed in 2015. Were there a few weeks ago and damn that thing stood out to me.
I’m sure Trump hates the South Park episode, probably wants them dead, but this is America.
Freedom is fighting for someone’s right to say something, even if you hate what they are saying.
Grim – Dude really? “je suis charlie” is offensive to muslims…
You picking a side?
I doubt it….
