The Proverbial Tide Went Out

A report from Bloomberg. “Homebuilders are headed for their sharpest monthly nosedive since March 2020 as the stocks get pummeled by fears of rising rates. ‘It’s a headwind to everybody across the sector, nobody is completely immune,’ analyst Rafe Jadrosich, who covers homebuilders and building products for BofA Global Research, said in an interview. ‘It will reduce the buying power of every type of home buyer, regardless of what price points they’re looking at.'”

From WBTV in North Carolina. “Two modern duplexes on Julia Maulden Place near Optimist Hall have been under construction for a long time by Charlotte standards. Mecklenburg County records show the original permit was pulled in July of 2020. In that time, potential homebuyers have come and gone, complained about catastrophic construction defects and been dragged into the financial entanglements of construction company City View Terraces. A WBTV Investigation found dozens of lawsuits, liens and judgements filed against the company that could prevent homebuyers from closing on new homes and threatens their deposits.”

“City View’s website touts its luxury homes in some of Charlotte’s hottest neighborhoods. Building those homes is expensive and records uncovered by WBTV suggest the company is in massive debt. ‘Oh, it was horrible. He had so many liens against him frankly, I did not think we would close this loan at all,’ real estate attorney Ralph McMillian said.”

The Dallas Morning News. “Despite the huge buyer demand, North Texas homebuilders sharply reduced the number of single-family home construction permits in December. It was the fifth month in a row that Dallas-Fort Worth builders took fewer permits to start houses than in the previous year, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University. Local builders filed permits to start 3,323 new houses in December — more than 27% less than a year earlier. December’s permit total was the lowest since early 2020.”

“‘Our builder clients share that their focus remains on getting under-construction units completed and closed. Simply starting more units swelled much of the work in progress during much of 2021,’ said Ted Wilson, principal with Dallas-based housing analyst Residential Strategies. ‘Going forward, builders are taking a measured approach on initiating new units so that the construction backlog does not get further out of hand.'”

The Dirt on New York. “Poor Ronald Perelman. You almost gotta feel for the guy. To settle debts, and in the service of the aforementioned simpler life, Perelman has for the last couple of years engaged in a sort of billionaires-only yard sale. One of Perelman’s most valuable assets was an oceanfront spread on East Hampton’s swank Lily Pond Lane, though he has not occupied the estate for many years. The property was listed last September for $115 million, and records show the estate traded just after the first of the year at a hugely discounted $84 million.”

The Hollywood Reporter in California. “Nondisclosure agreements are on the rise — with an increase in recent years from the buyer’s side. That’s because sellers typically own the listing photos, and new owners not only want to keep home addresses private but keep pictures offline as well. ‘Everyone is on high alert over the recent home-robbery invasions,’ says Hollywood business manager Elizabeth Campos. ‘Nerves get rattled when they think of someone being able to recognize something in the home that directly ties them to it.'”

“Promising to outbid a top offer seems like a smart strategy, but other agents tell THR that the novelty can backfire. Re/Max agent Jordan Cohen says he actively advises sellers against trusting them, especially because of contingency laws regarding inspections, loans and disclosures, which give buyers ways to cancel contracts. ‘With open contingency laws in place, it is too easy to throw up an escalation clause where a buyer can lock up a house at a price they truly will not pay and try to renegotiate later,’ he says. ‘I am sure this is not always the case, but this is what I have recently seen happen.'”

From Geek Wire. “Now that the dust has settled, we can ask how could the smart and savvy team at Zillow Group, armed with cutting-edge AI methods and mountains of data, lose half a billion dollars buying homes in the second half of 2021. Zillow tested its approach over three years achieving profits that emboldened Zillow to rapidly scale up its iBuying business. The answer is that home prices were moving up rapidly during that period. As a result, even if Zillow’s purchase was modestly over-priced, Zillow was able to make a profit when the house was sold some weeks later. However, when the market cooled down in 2021, Zillow’s disadvantage was starkly revealed.”

“In other words, the proverbial tide went out, and we found out that Zillow was … exposed.”

From The Real Deal. “Los Angeles-based Oaktree Capital Management has seized a second Evergrande property in China as part of an unprecedented push to recover $1 billion in unpaid debt. Oaktree has seized a massive ‘Venice’ apartment complex on the Yellow Sea coast near Shanghai that had defaulted on a $400-million secured loan. This came after Oaktree, which manages $166 billion in assets, seized a large plot of land in Hong Kong called ‘Project Castle,’ where China Evergrande Group had hoped to build a Versailles-like mansion. The loan to that project came to around $600 million.”

“Oaktree’s control of both properties means the bedraggled Chinese real estate firm can’t sell them to raise funds to restructure $300 billion in debt. The financial health of the world’s most indebted developer spiraled down last year, prompting a series of defaults across China’s real estate industry that for decades fueled its growing economy.”

From News Hub New Zealand. “Real estate agents say ‘FOMO’ (fear of missing out) among first-home buyers is no longer a key concern, their fears having switched to inability to get finance. It comes as Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act (CCCFA), introduced to protect borrowers from unaffordable debt, put greater onus on lenders to ensure loans are affordable. Mortgage brokers have reported banks are placing greater scrutiny on spending, to ensure they comply.”

“First-home buyers are bearing the brunt of CCCFA changes, results show. A record 89 percent of real estate agents reported difficulty getting finance as buyer concern. Almost three-quarters (69 percent) reported buyers were worried about rising interest rates affecting their capacity to borrow and service a mortgage. Concerns about falling prices (‘fear of overpaying’), also went up.”

“In a REINZ and Tony Alexander survey of 385 real estate agents nationwide, conducted late in January, a net 65 percent reported seeing fewer first-home buyers in the market. ‘Right now, we’re in the period where the CCCFA changes are having the greatest impact, and people are having to cut back,’ Alexander said. ‘There is a risk that some of the negativity we’re seeing in the survey (and other commentary) is reflecting that this is the weakest period for first-home buyers.'”

The Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s easy to spend money – especially when you control the nation’s currency printing presses. But the Reserve Bank is now fast approaching the point where it has to decide how to deal with the end of the money creation spree that has kept afloat the economy since the advent of COVID-19. Over the past 2½ months alone, the bank has been creating $4 billion a month with which to purchase federal and state government bonds. That is money sloshing around the economy.”

“It’s not just the RBA. Globally, central banks have created about $US12 trillion ($17 trillion) due to the impact of COVID-19. But with inflation now moving up, unemployment on track to slip below 4 per cent for the first time since Grahame Bond gave us Farewell Aunty Jack in 1974 and Australians taking on record levels of debt, the time to switch from quantitative easing (QE) to quantitative tightening (QT) is approaching.”

    Jordan, do you mean they are the winnah! and proceed to schlong the seller?

    1. It’s a game that has been played for a long time.

      The seller can mitigate by requiring larger escrow deposits each step of the way and having short time lines.

      For example, a $20,000 deposit upon signing and home inspection done and any dispute sent in writing in three business days.

      This should be illegal, IMO. You’ve got these “disruptors” in the tech space funded by massive debt, which lose money hand over fist since their inception, using that massive debt to run up shelter prices so that people can’t even afford a roof over their head. This is nuts.

  5. Townhall — What a New Johns Hopkins Study Has Found About the Impact of Covid-19 Lockdowns (2/2/2022):

    “A Johns Hopkins University study found the original Covid-19 lockdown in the spring of 2020 had “little to no” effect on morality.

    The meta-analysis looked at interventions such as school and business closures, travel bans, and efforts to limit gatherings to determine if there is empirical evidence to support lockdowns.”

    COVID did not destroy the economy. Government destroyed the economy.

    “According to the study, “lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality,” and in the U.S. and Europe, “only reduced COVID-19 mortality by .2% on average.”

    About 97% of U.S. teachers said that their students have experienced learning loss during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a Horace Mann survey last year.”

    COVID didn’t steal your children’s future. Government stole your children’s future.

    “From May 2020 to April 2021, the U.S. recorded 100,306 drug overdose deaths, a 28.5% increase from the 78,056 deaths that were recorded in the previous 12-month period, according to CDC data.

    A study from the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice last year found that domestic violence incidents increased 8.1% in the U.S. after lockdown orders were issued.”

    We are taking our country back. There will be arrests, trials, convictions, and executions.

    No Glowie, but we are done with these people. The only good globalist is a dead globalist.

    Ben, get the ropes ready 🙂

      2. I saw a poll out of Australia which asked people what they thought the chances of death were if they caught COVID. The average was 33%. The media has scared these people so badly they think they have a 1 in 3 chance of dying from something you have a 99.9x% chance of recovering from. This is a filthy rotten propaganda scheme perpetrated on the world. The “elites” have waged a war of terror on the citizens.

        1. the chances of death were if they caught COVID. The average was 33%. The media has scared these people so badly they think they have a 1 in 3 chance of dying from something you have a 99.9x%
          Slightly different take on Media influence: I saw a poll where young adults (I forget the exact name of the cohort) thought that 25% of the population was gay. I think the actual number is 2-3%.

        2. I saw a poll out of Australia which asked people what they thought the chances of death were if they caught COVID. The average was 33%.

          A lot of Americans think that too. When I tell people I had a mild case of the coof and am unjabbed, the looks on their faces are priceless.

    COVID did not destroy the economy, government destroyed the economy.

    “Debt has skyrocketed in past decades, beginning with the Great Recession of 2008 and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The national debt was $9.2 trillion in December 2007, before the financial crisis of 2008.”

  9. New York Post — US rent prices highest in decades — and they aren’t coming down (2/1/2022):

    “The cost of rent rose by more than 4% on average in the US last year, easily surpassing the 3.3% average annual increase seen in each of the five years before the pandemic, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    And rent isn’t likely to go down anytime soon: Analysts expect rent costs to keep increasing while other sectors of the economy start to cool down as landlords reap a windfall from the lifting of eviction moratoriums that were enacted at the height of COVID-19 — kicking out old tenants and bringing in new ones at higher rents.

    For a glimpse of what could be ahead, just look at December: Rents nationally shot up 14% compared to December 2020 — at a much faster clip than the 4% average seen throughout the rest of 2021, according to Redfin data.

    Meanwhile, Americans expect the average cost of rent will rise by some 10% this year, according to a report by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.”

    Welcome to the Recoveryless Recovery.

    “This sucker could go down” — George W. Bush

    1. Or maybe landlords trying to make up for two years of deadbeat renters that they couldn’t evict.

      FYI. Landlords don’t kick out renters who pay on time and take care of the property. In fact, they usually give them a discount.

      1. “FYI. Landlords don’t kick out renters who pay on time and take care of the property. In fact, they usually give them a discount.”

        May be true in good ol’ days. Today’s landlords are carrying many non-paying deadbeats, so they have to charge mo’ for those who actually pay.

        Amerikka, what a country!

      2. My landlord increased my rent 35% I been looking online in Phoenix and there is nothing affordable for a single person. I’ve paid on time for the last 5 years and been a good tenant. I’ve been on this blog for a few years and they been wrong about everything prices just keep going up with no end in sight.

    2. B.S.
      I’ve been tracking Craigslist SFH/TH rental prices in my area (SF East Bay), and have already seen several price declines, along with some “$1000 move in special” and “1 month free rent”. So not cratering yet, but definitely showing weakness.

      1. I’m seeing the rental market act a little funny in SL County and Utah County. Supply is rising in the new year. Some landlord’s are dropping prices when only 1 week on the market. A lot of packed in cookie-cutter new construction townhomes are being listed for rent. I assume the Landlord’s are investors. Something’s up. This landlord has been moving the price around on this rental for months.
        https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4317-N-Pheasant-Ridge-Trl-Lehi-UT-84043/68833974_zpid/
        One landlord we talked to recently said he’s asked his tenants to leave (he didn’t evict) after not paying for a long time. He didn’t want to kick them out during the holidays – maybe this is the case for many landlords so rental inventory’s piling up after the first of the year.

    3. look at December: Rents nationally shot up 14% compared to December 2020 — at a much faster clip than the 4% average seen throughout the rest of 2021

      Average of 4% for the year, but total of 14% for the year. What a moron.

  10. The property was listed last September for $115 million, and records show the estate traded just after the first of the year at a hugely discounted $84 million.”

    Please join me in a moment of silent remembrance for all those dear departed Yellen Bux.

  11. ‘Everyone is on high alert over the recent home-robbery invasions,’ says Hollywood business manager Elizabeth Campos. ‘Nerves get rattled when they think of someone being able to recognize something in the home that directly ties them to it.’”

    Yet Hollywood libtards keep pulling the D lever and donating big bucks to this criminal-coddling party of corruption and malgovernance. Vote blue, go zoo.

  12. The answer is that home prices were moving up rapidly during that period. As a result, even if Zillow’s purchase was modestly over-priced, Zillow was able to make a profit when the house was sold some weeks later.

    The rise in asset bubbles & Ponzi markets correlates directly to the Fed’s ever-expanding balance sheet. But now that soaring inflation is becoming a serious liability for the Brandon regime, the Fed might have less latitude to behave like the Bank of Zimbabwe. Once the punchbowl gets taken away, it’s going to be 2007 all over again.

  13. “Oaktree has seized a second property”

    As with all reporting on Evergrande, this seems quite dubious. As far as I can tell, Oaktree made these moves starting 6 DAYS ago. There is no way they have seized these properties, especially given that they are in China and Hong Kong.

    “Legal claims by foreign companies on Chinese assets have been unclear. But the Oaktree move has brought no sign of any challenge from Beijing.”
    No sign of challenge…in 6 days.

    “Los Angeles-based Oaktree this week MOVED TO SEIZE control of the asset after Evergrande defaulted on a loan against which the $158 billion asset manager had security, according to two people familiar with the matter. The project was a crucial piece of collateral in a planned restructuring of Evergrande’s giant offshore debt load, but the plan is now in turmoil after Oaktree appointed a receiver, according to one of the people.”
    https://www.mingtiandi.com/real-estate/crelist/oaktree-seizes-evergrande-hong-kong-project-and-more-asia-real-estate-headlines/

    All I can say is, good luck Oaktree!!

    1. “Legal claims by foreign companies on Chinese assets have been unclear. But the Oaktree move has brought no sign of any challenge from Beijing.”

      This is interesting, but I wouldn’t place a bet on it.

      1. I recall reading about Beijing turning its back on asset claims connected to a Chinese railroad’s bonds. Poof!

      2. Agreed, the author thinks 6 days of no response means anything. Also, none of the articles mention where Oaktree is making this move to seize. If it’s in an American court I’m not sure Evergrande or China would do anything.

  15. “Los Angeles-based Oaktree Capital Management has seized a second Evergrande property in China as part of an unprecedented push to recover $1 billion in unpaid debt. Oaktree has seized a massive ‘Venice’ apartment complex on the Yellow Sea coast near Shanghai that had defaulted on a $400-million secured loan.

    Gosh, it seems that loan was much less “secured” than ABQ Dan may have presumed. I fear there is a real possibility the lender might have to absorb huge losses if true price discovery indicates the seized property is worth far less than its collateralized valuation. But Shirley this is a one-off situation that in no way indicates cascading defaults and firesale collateral sell-offs are in the offing.

    The Burning Platform — Fourth Turning 2022 — Bad Moon Rising Part Three (1/31/2022):

    “It is evident to me this Fourth Turning is being propelled domestically, as the unbridgeable rifts between political parties, states, cities, races, and genders are being stoked and amplified by globalist billionaire elitists. The accelerating level off civic decay and our rapid descent into chaotic conflict has not occurred spontaneously but has been engineered as a crucial element in the Great Reset scheme to “reimagine” and “reset” the world.

    Klaus Schwab, the front man for the Davos elite, and sociopath of the first order, sees the deaths of millions from a purposely weaponized virus as a “window of opportunity”. When he refers to “our world” he isn’t including you in his world. You will own nothing and be happy. He and his billionaire death cult will own everything and keep you enslaved in debt, under technological surveillance, with the threat of violent retribution if you do not bend the knee.

    Anyone who has observed the level of violence, murder, lawlessness, and mayhem sweeping the country over the last two years who thinks our country isn’t descending into a chaotic hellscape, are either willfully ignorant or benefiting financially from the orchestrated turmoil. The BLM looting, rioting, burning and murdering escapade, which went on for over a year, and strangely subsided once Trump was disposed of, was not a kinetic reaction to the death of a black drug addled felon being restrained by a white cop, but a well-funded orchestration designed to create havoc in cities across the nation, as part of the plan to destabilize our society.

    These staged “protests” were funded by Soros and his ilk to accomplish multiple goals: eliminating Trump; destroying small businesses; weaponizing uneducated blacks; crippling law and order by scapegoating police; and generating outrage by law abiding white people across the country.

    You know BLM is nothing but a front organization for Soros, because they have no interest in protesting or stopping the mass slaughter of black teens in the urban ghettos of Philly, Chicago and all the other Democrat run hell holes across the land. Race baiters on MSNBC like Sharpton & Joy Reid are nothing but grifters stoking the flames of a fake racism narrative to please the Soros crowd.

    It is an unequivocal fact George Soros and his cohorts have funded the election of district attorneys, mayors, governors, and congress people with massive influxes of money, guaranteed to put into place Marxist Manchurian candidates who will do the bidding of Soros and the Great Reset World Economic Forum elite.

    There is no other logical explanation for why Soros would spend tens of millions to get DAs elected in Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and numerous other Democrat controlled cities, who have absolutely no interest in prosecuting violent felons or even keeping them confined. The result has been a massive surge in murder, violent assaults, car jackings, robberies, and wholesale death and destruction. The blood is on Soros’ hands.

    Marxist Governors and mayors like Newsom, Whitmer, DeBlasio, and Lightfoot, along with these Marxist DAs, have been put in place to conduct a controlled demolition of our civilized society in order to build back better under the principles of totalitarianism, under the control of billionaire globalist psychopaths hell-bent on owning everything and keeping a boot on the face of everyone else.

    The co-conspirators in the media, fully underwritten by Soros and his accomplices, have undertaken to promote fake racist attacks by Nigerian MAGA terrorists and NASCAR noose wielding white supremacists, while completely ignoring the slaughter by vehicle of 6 white Christmas parade participants and injuring of 62 by a provably racist black felon, let out of jail by a Soros DA. The narrative to maximize the chances of a race war is the goal of Soros and his media mouthpieces.

    How can anyone with critical thinking skills possibly believe what Biden and his handlers are orchestrating on our southern border isn’t designed to further tear our country down, making a mockery of the legal immigration process and a fair and honest election system? In the year he has been in office Biden has willfully allowed two million illegal immigrants (mostly young men) from countries all over the world to pour over our southern border with no effort to stem the flow. This is clearly a well-planned, Soros funded initiative to illegally remake the demographics of the country to maximize Democrat control in key swing states and solidify their hold on urban enclaves.

    Your government is using your tax dollars to secretly shuttle these illegals on airplanes in the middle of the night to small airports in communities all across the country and then letting them disperse into the general population. They are landing in Westchester NY, Allentown PA, and dozens of other small cities. Others are given bus tickets and told to go anywhere they choose. Meanwhile, NYC, to be followed by many other Democrat run municipalities, are passing laws to allow illegals to vote in elections. This blatant abuse of power goes unchecked.

    Any semblance of a civilized society based on agreed upon community standards, human rights, minimal but rational laws, inhabited by morally endowed citizenry, and led by ethical fair-minded leaders, has been systematically and methodically destroyed by a ruling oligarchy driven to maximize their own control, wealth, and power. They see you as nothing more than cattle to be milked, controlled, herded, and slaughtered for profit when they decide. Freedom, liberty, and self-responsibility are outmoded concepts in a world run by billionaire oligarchs. Do you get it yet?”

    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2022/01/31/fourth-turning-2022-bad-moon-rising-part-three/

    Do you get it yet?

    Nobody elected these globalists to govern anything. There are over THREE HUNDRED MILLION guns legally owned by American civilians.

    The Day Of The Rope is coming, soon…

    1. More:

      “Those in power will not relinquish power without a fight. They are using their worn-out predictable playbook of deeming all protestors as white supremacists, neo-nazis, and domestic terrorists. Government infiltrators will attempt to stir up violence, just as they did on January 6 at the Capitol. The media will produce fake news about violence and racism. They have the full force of the police state and media to suppress the Ottawa protest and all future protests.

      We cannot go meekly into the night, satisfied with a few days of publicity and proud to have made a brief stand against the forces of darkness. This is a Fourth Turning, where the action builds to a crescendo and the climax is bathed in blood. The mantle of power must be seized, as the forces opposing truth, freedom and liberty are demonic in nature and capable of the most horrific atrocities in their voracious appetite for power, control, and wealth.

      Our civic virtue as a nation has been lost and must be regained. Every Fourth Turning channels the fury of generations in a desperate struggle between good and evil, to reach a climactic finale. As 2022 has begun, we are clearly experiencing a winter of discontent, with anger, wrath and hatred driving opposing forces towards conflict. The divisions within our country are deep and seemingly intractable, the way Soros and the Davos elite planned. But we are the many and they are few.

      They believe they are safe and secure behind their golden gates and unscalable walls, with armed guards securing their perimeter. Many monarchs have felt the same level of safety, to find out they were dreadfully wrong. When a large enough army of patriots assemble and begin to fight back, the sheep will begin to follow, and the end will be nigh for the overlords of evil. We are about to enter the most challenging and dangerous chapter of this Fourth Turning. Summon your courage and prepare to fight.”

          It is a very FREE feeling to have reached a point in my life where I am essentially “un-cancelable” from anything. There is nothing I want or need that I can be cancelled from.

    Lockdowns, school closures and limiting gatherings only reduced COVID mortality by 0.2% at ‘enormous economic and social costs’, study finds

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10466995/New-study-says-lockdowns-reduced-COVID-mortality-2-percent.html

    The original coronavirus lockdowns had ‘little to no’ effect on pandemic death tolls in the US, UK and Europe, a controversial report suggests.

    Economists who carried out a meta-analysis estimated that draconian restrictions first imposed in spring 2020 — including stay-at-home orders, compulsory masks and social distancing — only reduced Covid mortality by 0.2 per cent.

    They warned that lockdowns caused ‘enormous economic and social costs’ and concluded they were ‘ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument’ going forward.

    1. “a controversial report suggests”

      The real controversy is that the unelected globalist enablers of this unscientific medical tyranny still have their heads attached to the rest of their bodies.

      Bad moon rising? We will find your underground bunker in New Zealand. We will build our own sailboats to conquer your allegedly private island.

      Your security, your servants, they will all turn on you. There is no escape. This is not over…

    2. This has got to be the oldest trick in the. book to reek damage and harm for over two years, than say after the fact that the studies show that lockdowns and masks are ineffective .
      Its not that they should of made the studies ahead of time before subjecting the globe to futility.
      As if a whole body of medical Science didn’t know , but those Scientists and Doctors were censored.
      Like a 100 years of studies on Pandemics are ignored for a grand expierment in futility .
      Deliberate obstruction of cheap drugs that cured Covid for expiermental vaccines .
      Bogus tests that are taken off the market on Dec 31, 2021, after the fraud for two years of them upping the Covid count.
      Vaccines are safe and effective, than well actually they don’t stop getting the disease or transmitting the disease.
      Its not like the censored Scientists and Drs weren’t disputing all the Pandemic responses, as well as trying to implement cheap safe meds that cured Covid. No, it had to be no treatment in hospitals with Dr Fauci killer drugs endorsed .
      There is overwhelming evidence that the Pandemic response was done for reasons other than to save lives or a authentic response to a health emergency.
      Its all about plausible denial after the objectives are achieved. that have nothing to do with a legimate response to a Pandemic.
      You can achieve a lot of objectives in two years, and reek a lot of damage for two years , than say you were just trying to save lives.
      Just look who benefited by the unjustified Pandemic responses verses who was damaged, injured, killed, businesses destroyed , etc.
      Private Party stakeholders and Corporate Monopolies in collusion with corrupted Government with fake news.

    3. “Lockdowns, school closures and limiting gatherings only reduced COVID mortality by 0.2%”

      As if there is some reliable way to measure this within a margin of error of less than 0.2%.

      1. 0.2%

        Since the last digit in a measurement simply marks the supposed accuracy of the measurement, it can be taken as zero.

    NSW inquiry into workers compensation law amendment hears pandemic projections were ‘misrepresented’

    An expert has said politicians exaggerated a ‘huge’ cost associated with Covid-19 that was used to justify a controversial new law.

    A NSW government push to make essential workers prove they got Covid-19 on the job to get workers compensation was based on “misrepresented” numbers and unlikely predictions, an inquiry has heard.

    The parliamentary probe was told on Wednesday NSW would have to be hit with “nine more Omicron outbreaks in the next 11 months” to reach the projected cost of the scheme that the government is using as an argument to repeal it.

  19. Canadian tow truck operators to Ottawa’s globalist Quislings: Go f*ck yourselves.

    Alberta towing companies reject requests to supply trucks to RCMP

    https://westernstandardonline.com/2022/02/alberta-towing-companies-reject-requests-to-supply-trucks-to-rcmp/

    “A lot of these smaller companies don’t want to ruin their reputation in the communities they serve so they don’t want to get involved.”

    Authorities searching for tow truck companies to assist in the removal of trucks from Coutts border blockade are coming up empty-handed.

    According to local towing companies, requests have come in since Sunday for trucks to assist RCMP should they look to haul away trucks and other vehicles participating in the border blockade.

    1. “A lot of these smaller companies don’t want to ruin their reputation in the communities they serve so they don’t want to get involved.”

      This [is] a valid argument. However, I wonder if there will be an issue when it’s time to renew their towing permits?

    2. +1 for these Canadian truckers with balls the size of grapefruits.

      “Jesse Watters told his co-hosts Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Five” that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “looks like he wet his pants,” while discussing truckers protesting Canada’s COVID vaccine mandate.

      Watters said, “He looks like he wet his pants. I have not seen any barbarians with tiki torches and pitchforks. These seem like reasonable people that just want to work. You know when Canada gets angry, that is when you have got to think, wait a second, maybe we hit a breaking point here.”

      1. The sad fact is, the productive portion of the population has no say in our governance. “Taxation without representation” does begin to cover the alien agenda the globalist Quislings are imposing on us. It is long past time to withdraw the consent of the governed from these rapacious Bolshevik scumbags.

    3. It would only take 4 semis to completely box in a tow truck so that it is incapable of towing anything. Maybe there is more to this refusal of tow operators to move against the Honk! semis than the media knows about.

  20. Speed cameras are about wealth extraction from motorists & delivery trucks, not public safety. Democrat-Bolshevik regimes hate private vehicles since they want to force to you use public transportation where they can better monitor and control you.

    Buttigieg is taking De Blasio’s war on drivers nationwide: NYC Republican warns there were 20 speed cameras at start of former mayor’s reign and now there are 1,400 raking in $215M a year or $25,000-an-hour and ‘Pothole Pete’ wants them across US

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10466971/Speed-cameras-NYC-went-20-1-400-Bill-Blasios-administration-councilman-says.html

    Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg unveiled a road safety plan Thursday promising to ‘promote speed safety cameras’ across the country, but a New York City councilman says the cameras in the city today are little more than an ‘indirect tax on cars.’

    Speed cameras in New York City went from 20 at the start of then-Mayor Bill de Blasio’s first term in 2014 to about 1,400 across 750 school zones, Republican Councilman Joe Borelli said on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday.

    Borelli argued that the Big Apple’s streets are ‘deadlier than ever.’ Meanwhile, the cameras have generated about $215 million a year – or $25,000 an hour – for the city in the form of fines.

  22. Teacher Made White Elementary School Children Apologize to Black Kids For Their Skin Color

    by Paul Joseph Watson
    February 2nd 2022, 6:30 am

    “This board has repeatedly denied an activity that has taken place at AM Kulp Elementary…it happened in the courtyard…not once but four times,” said the speaker.

    “A teacher…lined the students up on the wall, asked them to step forward if their parents were married, step forward if their parents were college educated, step forward if they own a cellphone or an iPhone, step forward if their skin color resembled a band aid, step forward if they had an in-ground pool.”

    Explaining that multiple different parents had told him that this had happened, the speaker also related how the teacher in question “also added at one point when she asked about a band aid with a mini-megaphone, the teacher told the student to get back on the wall because her parents were from India.”

      This is who the Washington Post employs as a “conservative” opinion writer.

      Jennifer Rubin — How a free society can respond to right-wing disinformation (2/2/2022):

      “The authoritarian right has mounted a devious, three-prong strategy to control debate, indoctrinate the young and eradicate adherence to objective reality. The tactics are central to a movement that wants to protect the status quo and solidify White dominance over American politics.”

      Are you white, Jennifer? Because you never have a problem with sending “white” people to the Middle East to Secure The Realm. Are you American? Or dual citizenship? Where exactly is your primary loyalty, Jennifer?

      “the right created its own media silo in which lies, propaganda and kooky conspiracy theories replace science, facts and critical thinking. This media environment promotes covid denialism and boosts anti-vaccine sentiments as a means of fighting “elites.”

      CNN: stop watching Joe Rogan, watch more CNN.

      “the right has rigorously demonized complaints about racism and demands for racial inclusivity as “wokeness” or “cancel culture.” It has targeted private entities that dare to oppose its agenda, such as publishers who cancel book deals with right-wing figures or social media companies that jettison purveyors of misinformation from their platform. Screaming about “wokeness” seeks to disable the strength of social opprobrium so that right-wingers can go on offending and demeaning others.”

    Toddler Refused Heart Surgery in Three Separate Countries Over PARENTS Being Unjabbed

    by Breitbart
    February 2nd 2022, 5:39 am

    According to a report by Politico, hospitals in Cyprus were unable to conduct the surgery, and so the young child was scheduled for the procedure in a hospital in Frankfurt.

    However, a day before the boy was to be taken by air ambulance to Germany, the hospital cancelled the procedure over the fact that the parents were not jabbed against COVID-19.

    A suggestion from the Cypriot authorities that the child instead travel for the surgery with a legal guardian instead of his parents was also refused.

    Politico reports that the child was then refused surgeries in both the UK and Israel over his parents’ unjabbed status, both of whom subsequently received jabs on Thursday.

    New York (CNN Business)CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker said Wednesday that he is resigning, effective immediately.
    Zucker said in a memo, “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today.”
    Zucker did not name his colleague in the memo, but the relationship is with Allison Gollust, the chief marketing officer for CNN. Gollust is remaining at CNN.

    1. As a result, I am resigning

      I highly doubt that’s why he’s resigning. CNN has had a slew sex scandals in recent months and their ratings are tanking.

      1. My VP at a publicly-traded company “retired early” with 2 hours notice to the department after a week of off-site meetings over clashes with general counsel.

    3. So predictable.

      Bet he is a goofy looking demonrat, and he ‘believes in her.’ Probably took part in a womyns marches when he was young.

      How long do we have to wait for the harassment and ‘rape’ news to come forward?

        1. It’s down something like 90% from this time last year. But it’s widely acknowledged that viewership was very high this time last because of Jan 6 and the Biden honeymoon.

          I think the loss of CNN Airport made a bigger dent than they will admit.

In reference to Deporable’s description of the person who can’t stop buying N95 masks, Dr. McDonald spoke of a woman who came to him fully masked and shielded who admitted that while she knew the face protection devices didn’t do much, she felt compelled to wear them anyway.

    “Lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument”

    (snip)

    “A new study out of the renowned Johns Hopkins University has concluded that global lockdowns have had a much more detrimental impact on society than they have produced any benefit, with researchers urging that they ‘are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.’

    “The study was authored by Jonas Herby, special advisor at Center for Political Studies in Copenhagen, Denmark; Lars Jonung, professor emeritus in economics at Lund University, Sweden; and Steve H. Hanke, a Professor of Applied Economics and Founder & Co-Director of The Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise.

    “The authors wrote that ‘While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted.’

    “The focus of the study, according to the authors was to ‘determine whether there is empirical evidence to support the belief that ‘lockdowns’ reduce COVID-19 mortality.’

    “The researchers defined lockdowns as ‘any government mandate that directly restrict peoples’ possibilities, such as policies that limit internal movement, close schools and businesses, and ban international travel.’

    “The researchers further noted that ‘To answer our question, we focused on studies that examine the actual impact of lockdowns on COVID-19 mortality rates based on registered cross-sectional mortality data and a counterfactual difference in-difference approach.’

    “In other words, did lockdowns reduce COVID deaths?

    “The conclusion is no.”

    Ousted Chris Cuomo ‘forced lying CNN boss Jeff Zucker’s resignation by blowing whistle on his open-secret affair’ with staffer Allison Gollust while fighting for $18million severance

    Ousted Chris Cuomo forced Jeff Zucker’s resignation from CNN by blowing the whistle on his years-long, open-secret affair with staffer Allison Gollust while fighting for his $18million severance pay, according unnamed media sources.

    Zucker, 56, and Gollust, 49, have worked together for more than 20 years. The pair were both married previously, but are now separated from their partners. They lived in the same apartment building on the Upper East Side with their respective families until Zucker sold his apartment during his divorce from his ex-wife Caryn in 2018, and according to media sources, their relationship was an open secret.

  35. American Greatness — From 1984 to 2022 (1/31/2022):

    “In 2022, embattled Americans are beginning to understand the parallels.

    America’s liberty and prosperity have drawn immigrants from around the world. When liberty and prosperity were thriving as never before, Governor Andrew Cuomo countered that America was “never that great,” but for the political class there was more to it.

    From the start, they contend, America was nothing more than a bastion of racist oppression, founded to preserve and expand slavery. Like the Party’s take on capitalism, America had never produced anything of value. So down came the statues, inscriptions and “anything that might throw light on the past.” As in 1984, America’s founding documents are pure crimethink. Teacher unions now force feed this propaganda in the schools and when parents object, the Department of Justice calls them domestic terrorists.

    The January 6 protesters are held without bail and without trial. Embattled Americans now face shortages of basic goods, surging energy prices, and rampant inflation. Remember what O’Brien told Winston Smith in 1984: “The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake,” he said. “We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power.”

    From a business-size standpoint, the job losses were concentrated at small firms, with companies employing fewer than 50 people seeing a drop of 144,000. Businesses with more than 500 employees lost 98,000, while medium-sized firms declined by 59,000.

    Federal Reserve officials are watching the jobs numbers closely. Policymakers have said they think the U.S. economy is around full employment, and they have teed up a series of interest rate increases this year.”

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army said Wednesday it will immediately begin discharging soldiers who have refused to get the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine, putting more than 3,300 service members at risk of being thrown out soon.

    The Army’s announcement makes it the final military service to lay out its discharge policy for vaccine refusers. The Marine Corps, Air Force and Navy have already discharged active-duty troops or entry-level personnel at boot camps for refusing the shots. So far, the Army has not discharged any.

    During a broadcast Friday on the CBC – which is funded by the Canadian government – anchor Nil Koksal offered Parliament member Marco Mendicino the theory, citing the country’s current relationship with the Ukraine, a former Soviet nation currently at odds with Russia, as evidence.

    The leaders of Black Lives Matter could be held personally liable if they fail to disclose financial records about the charity’s $60 million in donations within the next 60 days.

    In a letter issued to BLM on Monday, the California Department of Justice accused the charity of failing to submit its annual financial reports and alleged it was in delinquent status.

  46. I realize that this time it’s different, but didn’t homebuilder shares get hammered just before the 2007-2009 housing crash?

    “Homebuilders are headed for their sharpest monthly nosedive since March 2020 as the stocks get pummeled by fears of rising rates.”

    1. I don’t know anybody under the age of 60 who is still using Fakebook.

      Instagram (owned by Fakebook) is only used by beta simps who follow “influencer” accounts.

      Mark Cuckerberg is a cuck. The “Meta-verse” is an imaginary cuck reality for virtual reality cucks who choose to ignore that their real world girlfriends and wives are getting real world plowed by Chad.

      1. Love your on-point commentaries, brah. Gives me hope to see fearless defiance of our globalist overlords & their schemes.

        1. I second that comment. motion passes. let’s adjourn to mons venus for further intellectual discussion.

      2. What sucks is that apparently Fakebook Marketplace has rendered Craigslist almost obsolete. I always liked Craigslist for shopping for used vehicles, tools, etc. Oh well, it’s not going to make me sign up for Fakebook.

          +1 to this. Unwilling to sign up for FB, and sadly craigslist is pretty useless these days for buying and selling.

          It’s also a shame so many small businesses host their website through FB marketplace only (not exactly sure how that works). I make a point to let them know I’m a potential customer that’s taking my business elsewhere since they put all their info on a closed platform.

  49. “The property was listed last September for $115 million, and records show the estate traded just after the first of the year at a hugely discounted $84 million.”

    What’s a few $10 million ti a billionaire?

    1. An easy answer is that $10 million is 1% of a billion $…less than typical daily portfolio fluctuations, I’d guess.

      Of course if you lost that amount on many different property HODLings at the same time, due to poor portfolio diversification, that would be another story.

      1. Make me think of Larry Ellison. In addition to his $400M private island he owns an estate in Palm Springs with a private golf course as well as dozens of more conventional mansions around the world. I have no idea if he has stepped off Lanai since the scamdemic began. It must be “interesting” being the staff that maintains his other properties, as he has likely not visited any of them lately. Ghost town mansions. Probably not a good time to try to unload them.

  50. How’s that globalism working out for ya, Kiwi cucks?

    Distraught Kiwis SUE Jacinda Ardern after being cruelly locked out of their own country for TWO years – as they compare getting back to New Zealand to the ‘Hunger Games’

    A group of New Zealanders locked out of their own country for two years because of impossible hotel quarantine rules is suing Jacinda Ardern’s government – claiming their human rights have been breached by refusing to let them come home.

    Kiwis who want to return home after the country’s border was slammed shut to keep out Covid back in March 2020 have to apply for a place in Managed Isolation and Quarantine – with the small amount of places allocated through a lottery system.

    1. A group of New Zealanders locked out of their own country for two years

      The real question is why would you want to return to that penal colony?

    1. Our local children’s hospital noticed and warned about this mental health crisis at the end of May 2020.

    2. Government destroyed your children.

      They want to get the ones who weren’t aborted.

      Servants of the Devil, all of them.

  60. Actually the Globalist, that captured and corrupted World Governments , have no intention of bringing on a Communist utopia, bring equality and Justice for all. The Globalist don’t even intent for a Hitler like Racist Nationalism.
    The 1% Private Party unelected Globalists intent is to have a One World Order enslavement Dictorship , in which they loot all the marbles, than they dictate what the 99% get.
    Klaus Schwab, “You will own nothing and like it”
    Bill Gates bragging he makes 20 times on vaccines.
    Soros wanting Open Borders, and ongoing funding to break down any semblance of law and order or sovereign Countries. You can’t have a Country if you have no borders, or if criminals run the streets.
    Every act by the Globalist to tear.down current systems and bring on their dictorship .
    Contrived Pandemics, with fake solutions , with Medical Tyranny of lab rat toxic injections , forced , mandated or public defrauded by fake and censored news to comply with a vaccine, that isn’t a vaccine. Health Authority suppression slander and obstruction of cheap safe drugs that cured Covid, for killer protocols instead.
    Absurd attack on over half the population that they are racist white domestic terrorists, and scapegoating the unvaccinated for punishment .
    Dr Fauci being the funder of Covid bio weapon , being the ridiculous spokesperson for Covid Response, and the fraudulent face of Science and the Covid response.
    Rigged elections to put puppets in like Biden , who does everything to push the agenda of this takeover by the 1% against the 99 %
    The outright taking of free speech and the first amendment, so these fraudsters can deceive and defraud the populations.
    Putting useless masks on children obstructing their air and development , than wanting to shoot toxic injection in them, when they arent even a risk group.
    Lockdowns destroying small and medium business, so Monopolies could loot and consolidate power.
    Government paying outrageous , up to 100 k incentives for a Covid diagnosis and death in hospitals, Pure bribery to Medical system , to go along with the scam. Threatening Dr and nurses that they will lose job if they don’t go along with the scam or cover ups.
    I could go on and on about how much these bastards need to be stopped Now!
    Seriously ,public executions is what they deserve for the evil and genocide they reek.
    Also, all the pensions can’t be paid , because of massive looting by these monsters, so their first target was the older to eliminate first. IMHO
