Gee, I sure hope it doesn't turn out that Blackhawk Helicopter flight wasn't compromised by short staffing caused by Trump's Emergency Military Aircraft transport of 3 nail salon workers back to their family home in Tijuana.

And so it begins, continued
We already know Trump's Tariff Talk Talk Talk over the past couple of months has produced highter mortgage loan rates, making it more expensive for the American Working Men and Women to achieve the American Dream of owning a home.
Now we see that growing problem producing its predictable result:

[QUOTE]Pending home sales dropped sharply in December as mortgage rates climbed.
[B]The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage went from a low of 6.68% on Dec. 6 to a high of 7.14% on Dec. 19.[/b]
Pending sales fell in all regions, with the West and Northeast seeing the biggest monthly drops at decreases of 8.1% and 10.3%, respectively.
..........
[B]Homes are also selling at the slowest rate in five years[/b], according to a new report from Redfin. As of the four weeks ending Jan. 26, the typical home listing that went under contract sat on the market for 54 days before the seller accepted an offer, the longest span [b]since March 2020[/b] and a week longer than this time last year.[/QUOTE]
Crypto is the answer not a mortgage!
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2979381]We already know Trump's Tariff Talk Talk Talk over the past couple of months has produced highter mortgage loan rates, making it more expensive for the American Working Men and Women to achieve the American Dream of owning a home.[/QUOTE]Owning a home is NOT a dream. It is a nightmare. Personal ownership of a home is not an asset it is a liability. This most basic lack of understanding is the cause for why the wage earner is finding it harder to make ends meet.
But those who are schooled in the world of digital assets are finding that they have access to all of the techniques that rich have been using for years at whatever level of investment is available to them. President Trump is going to make the United States of America great for crypto!
Liars and hypocrites rotten to the core!
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2979006]They are obviously picking and choosing their targets. He'll, I think many of the Trump "sweeps" are of immigrants already in holding pens waiting for a ruling on their visa. LOL.
It would be so easy to round up thousands of undocumented workers in a nanosecond if they targeted meat packing plants, Gulf of America vacation destinations, garment factories, Trump Golf Resorts, Trump Hotels, Trump Tower Office Building janitorial departments, every loading dock receiving Amazon order shipment and deliveries and so on.
Why haven't they done it?[/QUOTE]Or better yet, how about prosecuting business owners who hire illegals, which is -- and that's really funny -- AGAINST THE LAW? Has anyone ever heard about any criminal prosecutions against individuals who by law are required to verify the immigration status of their employees? I wonder where said prosecutors could start. May I suggest the door leading to the Oval Office, LOL?
Seriously, if they prosecuted just a dozen of meat packing or golf resort owners, the chilling effects of these arrests would reverberate across the nation and cause mass exodus of the undocumented aliens. It would furthermore SEVERELY lower the number of illegals who'd want to cross the borders. The wall will become completely unnecessary. Of course, ALL RETAIL PRICES in this country would shut up almost immediately, and Uncle Donny would have to look for new scapegoats to feed to his dumb, illiterate followers.
If the undocumented had any idea of the grip they have on the US economy, they would mass up on the border and demand collective bargaining contracts. They would further demand limos, copters and luxury boats to take them across the borders. Along with some hoes to keep them company.
Tell me again how MAGA crowd is not a bunch of foolish, nave, brainwashed losers. Maybe they could replace those bad hombres for all the highly desirable jobs they're stealing from American workers, like meat packing and picking fruit.

See, this is what Assistant Trump was talking about.
Now, see, Assistant Trump appointees Goetz, Hegseth, RFK Jr and so on are the perfect examples for what Assistant Trump meant when he said appointments and hires for important life or death jobs must not be DEI hires but instead must come from a genetic pool of "brilliant" "geniuses" with the "brain power" to never make a mistake:

[QUOTE]Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trumps pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, appeared to be unfamiliar with basic elements of the Medicare and Medicaid programs during his second Senate confirmation hearing.
If confirmed, Kennedy will lead a $1.7 trillion agency that oversees a slew of federal health agencies, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Kennedy struggled to identify and explain the fundamental aspects of Medicare, which provides coverage to older and disabled Americans.[/QUOTE]On top of which, it is now abundantly clear how important factors like a lucid, vigorous and healthy visual presentation as well as a clear, firm and confidence-building vocal delivery are to these jobs. None more perfectly exemplified than in the RFK Jr nomination confirmation hearings. Trump's RFK Jr nomination should be the template. And Kash Patel's. We can't have old men looking old and occasionally stuttering in these jobs.
Never, never, never again should DEI hires and presidencies lead to some of the worst American disasters over the past 150 plus years. Not while that big Northern California and Canadian water faucet was right there to be turned to the "on" position by a genetically appropriate leader while some silly genetically inappropriate leader did not even know that big water faucet exists!
After all, nobody should ever forget the DEI hires and presidencies responsible for historic disasters such as:
The Chicago Fire of 1871.
The San Francisco Fire of 1906.
The Sinking of the Titanic in 1912.
The Crash of 1929 and The Great Depression.
The Attack on 9/11.
The Financial Crash of 2008.
Trump's Pandemic of 2020.
'Nuff said.
Patel and Our Lord and Savior will Make Mongering Great Again
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2979112]If you think there is a 99% chance someone is guilty, as a juror, you are supposed to find him not guilty.
So as a prosecutor, when you are at that level, you offer up a plea bargain with the understanding if you do not win the sentence is going to be much worse if you lose in court. That is how it is supposed to work.
MDS said he did not like a crap judge and court. OTOH, and just like with the Trump case, you thought the legal system worked perfectly.
In this case, there was a media onslaught that Ross ordered a hit. The witness most likely to help Ross was not allowed to testify. The dirty cops were not exposed for what they did. The judge ordered the record altered. The sentence was way beyond the guidelines Federal judges are supposed to follow.
If MDS hates drug dealers more than a crooked justice system, that is his right. At least he acknowledged the injustice, but you did not.
What I will never get is the arrogant monger like yourself pretending he is a law abiding citizen cheering on dirty cops, a bad prosecutor, and a biased and overly punitive judge.
Pardons are supposed to be for when the justice system went off its rails, and I think that certainly happened here. They are not for saying the convicted are innocent. Trump was right to pardon Ross.
Ross got a sentence reserved for serial killers.
While you think you are invulnerable, I took a quiz on human trafficking and got a 100% grade, The reason I got that grade is I knew the government's agenda: any sexual act can be construed as trafficking. Can it be trafficking if the woman gives consent? Oh sure it can. Can a woman be trafficked if just in one location? Of course. Can a woman be trafficked and not know she is being trafficked? You betcha.
That is something you might want to think about next time you cheer on injustice.[/QUOTE]They will do real FBI work and no more reverse stings to arrest mongers on their lunch break in major cities all over the country.
When Democrats are in the White House.

Here is a repost of a particular Favorite of Mine:
Hey, congratulations, MAGAs, admitted Repubs, pretend Bothsider / Neithersiders, pretend Independents and any other suckers who didn't vote all Dem straight down your ballot this year!
There is now no doubt about it; the assistant to the assistant to the assistant Presidents-elect, Donald J. Trump, has definitely increased the cost of cargo containers and shipments, which will be added to the price of all those goods and products to be paid for by the American Consumer and no one else AND the cost of the "American Dream" of owning a home, an added cost that typically extends throughout the decades of most borrowers' mortgage loan.
And he has done that just by flappin' his yappy pie-hole over and over again about keeping his economically disastrous campaign promises, even before he takes his Lie of Office and even if he realizes he hasn't got the slightest clue how to do anything nor the slightest bit of energy to do it and decides to just play lots and lots and lots of golf for the next for years and nothing else:
[B]The Fed cut interest rates but mortgage costs jumped. Here's why[/B]
[URL]https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/20/why-mortgage-rates-jumped-despite-fed-interest-rate-cut.html?__source=androidappshare[/URL]
[QUOTE]The Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut interest rates for the third time in 2024. Despite the move, mortgage rates increased.
The 30-year fixed rate mortgage spiked to 6.72% for the week ending Dec. 19, a day after the Fed meeting, according to Freddie Mac data via the Fed. That is up from 6.60% from a week prior.
.........
To understand that disconnect, it is important to remember that mortgage rates closely follow the Treasury yields and are only slightly affected by the federal funds rate. [B]Mortgage rates climbed in November as the bond market reacted to Donald Trumps election win.
..........
"That, in conjunction with Trumps desired policies on tariffs, immigration and tax cuts which are all inflationary spooked the bond market"[/b], Cohn said.[/QUOTE]It could very well turn out that adding at least 20% to the cost of everything is the only campaign promise Donald J. Trump keeps.
Oh well.
And more, going back to within days of Trump squeaking out that razor-thin win thanks solely to a relative handful of angry Muslims across 3 swing states. Oh, and amid growing evidence of historic Dem ballot destruction by Repubs:
[B]Trumps economic agenda for his second term is clouding the outlook for mortgage rates.
November 13, 2024[/B]

[QUOTE]Mortgage rates are influenced by several factors, including moves in the yield for U.S. 10-year Treasury bonds, which lenders use as a guide to price home loans. Treasury yields rose in recent weeks even after the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate, which influences rates on all types of loans including mortgages. Investors appeared to question how far the Fed should cut rates given the strength of the economy.
Then yields surged further immediately after Trumps victory, sending the average rate on a 30-year mortgage up to 6.79%, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.
"Given what were seeing in bond markets, investors are expecting higher rates under a Trump administration and are starting to position in that direction already, said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com. So, if overall rates are higher, that would tend to also mean that mortgage rates would move higher, too.
Trump says he wants to impose tariffs on foreign goods, lower tax rates and lighten regulations, policies that could rev up the economy, but also fuel inflation and increase U.S. government debt and, say some economists, lead to higher interest rates and in turn higher mortgage rates.
[B]"Trumps fiscal policies can be expected to lead to rising and more unpredictable mortgage rates through the end of this year and into 2025,[/b] said Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist with Bright MLS, who no longer forecasts the average rate on a 30-year home loan to dip below 6% next year.[/QUOTE]Yep. That definitely means BEFORE he took his Lie of Office.
More projection wow and you're really really bad at it

I hate both parties, I am 100% moderate centrist, but to call the GOP liars and hypocrites coming from your side is a bit much don't you think.
I will say the GOP isn't perfect but they generally have more character, especially with things like telling the truth.
Sure some of them lie here and there in DC ala when in Rome.
But the Democrats are the least honest motherfuckers on the PLANET they lie about everything 24/7 365!!
You know it I know it as does anyone on the planet with an IQ over 60,ie just look at a few posts from Spidy or ET any day of the week.
