From Mortgage Orb:
Foreclosure Starts, REOs Continued to Rise in October
There were 25,129 foreclosure starts nationwide in October, an increase of 6% compared with September and up 20% compared with October 2024, according to ATTOM’s U.S. Foreclosure Market Report.
States that had the greatest number of foreclosure starts in October included Florida (4,136), Texas (3,080), California (2,685), Illinois (1,252) and New York (1,165).
Looking at all foreclosure filings – including default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions – a total of 36,766 U.S. properties saw foreclosure actions, up 3% from last month ago and up 19% from a year ago.
“Foreclosure activity continued its steady upward trend in October, the eighth straight month of year-over-year increases,” says Rob Barber, CEO at ATTOM, in the report. “Starts rose nearly 20 percent, while completed foreclosures were up 32 percent from last year.”
“Even with these increases, activity remains well below historic highs,” Barber says. “The current trend appears to reflect a gradual normalization in foreclosure volumes as market conditions adjust and some homeowners continue to navigate higher housing and borrowing costs.”
Nationwide, one in every 3,871 housing units had a foreclosure filing in October 2025. States with the worst foreclosure rates were Florida, South Carolina, Illinois, Delaware and Nevada.
Among the U.S. cities with populations of 1 million or more, Tampa, Fla., posted the highest foreclosure rate in October, at one in every 1,373 housing units. The increase reflects a temporary spike caused by the resumption of data collection in Hillsborough County, which added backlogged records and is expected to normalize in November.
Following Tampa were Jacksonville, Fla. (one in every 1,576 housing units); Orlando, Fla. (one in every 1,703); Riverside, Calif. (one in every 1,983); and Cleveland, Ohio (one in every 2,114).
First you lazy non workers.
You need someone other than Americans to make America Great Again.
Haha.
MAGA leaders erupted this week over President Donald Trump’s assertion that the United States needs foreign workers because it does not have enough “talented people,” questioning the president’s commitment to the “America First” politics he popularized.
A congressional push to release the government’s files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — a years-long cause on the right — moved forward against the wishes of the White House, even as Republicans overwhelmingly dismissed newly released emails Epstein wrote, including some about Trump.
Wasn’t it Trump who pushed for the “hoax” release of the Epstein files? Did he just call himself stupid?
A great followup to BrainDead Biden.
The jokes just write themselves.
“Don’t forget MAGA was my idea,” he told Fox News host Laura Ingraham this week after she questioned the number of foreign students he is allowing into the country. “MAGA was nobody else’s idea. I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else.”
Later, on social media, he called “the Jeffrey Epstein hoax” a distraction pushed by Democrats and said that only “a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap.”
Boomer you did this ^^^^^^^
And yet you are unwilling to accept healthcare because the president was black
Mr Trump,
Are you saying their aren’t enough Red Hats with talent?
Nothing like insulting your supporters right to their faces.
Oh, snap.
The GOP backlash was unusually fierce.
Conservative radio host Erick Erickson remarked on his Wednesday show that this was the “first time” he had seen so many longtime Trump supporters “furious with the president.”
“Saying that we don’t have talent in America doesn’t sound very ‘America First,’” Erickson said. “The splits are coming within MAGA, because the president is a lame duck, and as he says stuff like this, he exacerbates the splits.”

MAGA influencers were direct in their rebukes. Tim Pool, a right-wing YouTuber, wrote sarcastically Wednesday on X: “Dont worry Trump is bringing in more H1Bs to make sure our young people are f—-d.”

Trump doesn’t hire Americans.
Watch what he does, not what he says:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2025/11/12/trump-organization-record-foreign-workers-visas-2025/
KEY FACTS
The Trump Organization sought to bring in at least 184 foreign workers in 2025 for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, two golf clubs and a Virginia winery through H-2A and H-2B visas, according to data from the Department of Labor.
The company’s visa requests have risen steadily in recent years, from 121 in 2021 to a record 184 in 2025.
During Trump’s five years in office, the Trump Organization filed to bring in at least 566 foreign workers.
The jobs—primarily servers, clerks, housekeepers, kitchen staff and farm workers—pay between $15.58 and $27.91 an hour, per Department of Labor listings.
Spokespeople for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to inquiries, while the White House would not comment.

I can get two over here for less than the price of one purchased locally. Maybe keep one as a spare, sell it off, his and hers cars?

Oh and needs to have sensors to make up for the lack of ability/concentration of the average American driver, who wants to drink her coffee while applying mascara and texting her friend while speeding along.
Give ’em a few years to depreciate a bit, then all it takes is a tap in the bumper and that depreciated 70k car turns into a 40k payout by your insurance company.

Senate Republicans are rightfully angry that former special counsel Jack Smith seized the phone records of at least eight of their colleagues as part of his overzealous investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. They were so irate about the prosecutorial overreach against the legislative branch, however, that they snuck a provision into the bill to reopen the government this week that would allow these senators to collect $500,000 in taxpayer-funded damages, plus legal fees.

Kevin Morris the Hollywood Lawyer who was supporting Hunter Biden and even paid off his back taxes is the Lawyer for the show’s creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. He negotiated all their deals etc and they became weathly toghether over the last 30 years. There are ZERO episodes about the Bidens in South Park as they backed the Bidens in 2020. That is when Kevin Morris met Hunter at a Biden campaign event. Ken Morris dug in with $6.5 million dollars of his money to support Hunter Biden and lost any chance of getting it back when Joe Biden dropped out. Right now Kevin Morris is sitting on poop infused paintings made by Hunter as collateral that nobody will pay good money for.

I closed out 75% of my shorts on Crypto (ETH & Solana) temporarily as the charts seem to indicate a slight bounce before we go lower. Quantum, still all in. I’m looking to reenter those positions after a bounce. I’m not short bitcoin itself but I am short Microstrategy and a few BTC miners. If this plays out like 4 years ago, the absolute garbage goes first, followed by the hyped up tech with complete mean reversion. The indexes then go down, but not as much. But keep in mind, the S&P can lose 20 to 25% and still be in it’s long term uptrend so there’s room there to go down.
Here is the distortion being underreported.
The Obamacare subsidies are a COVID emergency measure. The fight is to extend something that wasn’t supposed to be permanent in the first place.
The American Rescue Plan Act and Inflation Reduction Act increased the ACA subsidies temporarily from 2021 through 2025. These enhanced subsidies cover the full cost of a benchmark premium for those between 100% and 150% of FPL. Beyond that, the subsidies limit the premiums enrollees pay for a benchmark plan to 2% of income by 200% of FPL, 6% of income by 300% of FPL, and 8.5% of income for all beneficiaries at 400% of FPL or more. The enhanced subsidies are theoretically available to even very high-income enrollees, with no income cutoff; however, few very high earners likely face premiums above the 8.5% of income threshold. These enhanced subsidies are set to expire at the end of 2025.

I guess you can make some good money on Epstein island if you wanna have kids.
Most Americans think raising children is unaffordable, with finances as the major factor in determining family size, a new report found.
Seven in 10 respondents said they believe raising children is too expensive — a 13-percentage-point jump from last year, according to the American Family Survey, which tracks public opinion about family life in the United States annually.
While the U.S. birth rate has been declining for years, it hit a historic low in 2023, a 2 percent decrease from the previous year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The development alarmed conservatives who view the family unit as the center of American life. For months, members of the pronatalist movement — who tend to align ideologically with Republicans — have pushed the Trump administration to enact policies to encourage Americans to have more children.
Republicans were least likely to express support for various forms of government assistance to parents.

some are hellbent to vote against their self interest
Chi – yup. 1.5 million with incomes above 400 percent of the FPL. Apparently allot of people that retired early there as well in their late 50s, collecting their pension and using the subsidies as a stop gap until Medicare kicks in.
It’s crazy this is going on. Sure there are real people that might need the subsidy but not people with wealth and incomes that high.
It’s pretty simple for a lot of people. They are drowning in their own student loan debt. Meanwhile, you want them to have kids that they couldn’t afford to send to college to take on even more debt? What I always find funny is the fear mongering that goes on to prevent this non-dischargeable policy from going away along with the gov backed guarantees. It’s always “well then no one could go to college!”. The tuition would collapse and things would be normal again.

Americans are just prey to them, just like these wealthy Italians:
The public prosecutor’s office in Milan has opened an investigation into claims that Italian citizens travelled to Bosnia-Herzegovina on “sniper safaris” during the war in the early 1990s.
Italians and others are alleged to have paid large sums to shoot at civilians in the besieged city of Sarajevo.
The Milan complaint was filed by journalist and novelist Ezio Gavazzeni, who describes a “manhunt” by “very wealthy people” with a passion for weapons who “paid to be able to kill defenceless civilians” from Serb positions in the hills around Sarajevo.
Different rates were charged to kill men, women or children, according to some reports.

A 61-year-old Bergen County man faces charges after he allegedly stole a police patrol vehicle while the officer picked up food from a restaurant, authorities said.
The theft occurred just before 10 p.m. on Oct. 16 when a Paramus police officer parked the vehicle outside the restaurant in the 700 block of Main Street in Hackensack.
The officer left the patrol vehicle with the key in the ignition while he went inside to pick up his order, according to Detective Captain Darrin DeWitt, spokesman for the Hackensack Police Department.
When the officer came back outside, his cruiser was gone, DeWitt said.

Donald Trump ordered Pam Bondi to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Bill Clinton and other prominent Democratic donors amid the bombshell release of the deceased pedophile’s emails.
The President also raged at ‘weak republicans’ for being ‘soft and foolish’ politicians playing into the ‘Epstein hoax.’
Republicans this week published 23,000 pages of emails from the billionaire pedophile, in which he called the President ‘dirty Donald.’
Trump wrote on Truth Social: ‘I will be asking [Attorney General] Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, JP Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him.’

From an article:
Ukraine is in full political earthquake mode. The West-backed anti-corruption agency NABU has kicked open the Kyiv cupboard, and VIP skeletons are falling out everywhere. At the center of the storm is Timur Mindich, widely known as “Zelensky’s wallet.” He’s accused of running a money-making, energy-sector shakedown machine. And surprise—he escaped Ukraine just in time.
But the case didn’t die. It exploded. Ukraine’s Justice Minister German Galushchenko has been fired. Former Deputy PM Oleksiy Chernyshov, a close Zelensky ally, has been charged with money laundering—about $1.2 million and nearly €100,000 flowing through a dirty pipeline.
And then comes the blockbuster twist. A jailed billionaire may be pulling the strings: Igor Kolomoysky. Yes, the same Kolomoysky who built Zelensky’s media empire, who owned the channel where Kvartal 95 turned a comedian into a president. According to Ukrainian outlet Strana, Kolomoysky might have served NABU some very hot “information.” The kind that melts presidencies. One source even claims Kolomoysky said: “Zelensky is done.”

The revelation that Putin has pictures/videos of Trump blowing Clinton makes perfect sense if you view it not as a sexual thing but as a result of a lost bet, like the movie Hot Tub Time Machine.
Trump is a high risk bullshitter. Clinton made a bet that Trump lost. Trump had to do the deed to keep his credibility within the boys social group. Obviously no one would have taken a picture, except Epstein rigged environment and the fact that Putin ends up with it shows who was Epstein’s master.
Furthermore, the pressure to prosecute Epstein really started after 2014. Russia invaded Crimea in 2014. Putin definitely used his compromats material at that time. People that dealt with Epstein then realized what he really was and was working for.
Dark: I don’t know if it’s true or not, just noting what the police chief said, that officers leave the cars running. It happened at 10:00 AM, and thr cop was picking up take out from the restaurant. I guess it was dinner break, but I don’t know.

Analysts note it acted like “stealth QE in reverse,” enabling volatility that whales and MMs could exploit. With reopening, liquidity may return, potentially aiding recovery, though Fed uncertainty persists.”
