It Feels Like Someone Turned The Lights Out

A report from 19 News Cleveland. “Layoffs happened at a popular home mortgage company headquartered in Northeast Ohio. Union Home Mortgage in a statement told 19 News they are temporarily adjusting staffing levels to accommodate rapidly changing conditions in the housing market. But, a newly laid-off employee says the company was continually hiring, and even expanding, while struggling for business and the writing was on the wall. Max Berger says, ‘I think half our department is gone, it’s probably the biggest department in the company. At least 75 at least got laid off.'”

“Berger found out last Tuesday he was out of a job along with dozens of others. Berger worked as a Connect Team Partner to find leads for loan officers.  ‘They just told us we don’t have much business anymore. There’s not enough leads to go around for everyone to make money and for the company to make money,’ Berger told 19 News. ‘Everyone knew that what happened in the last two years in the mortgage industry was kind of an anomaly, and there was going to come to a point where it was going to come back down to earth, and they just kept hiring people and hiring people.'”

From WPTV in Florida. “After losing 12 offers on other homes to cash buyers, Brooks Feeser closed on a three-bedroom, two-bath Hobe Sound home in February for $430,000. With the security of owning a home comes the reality of paying for it. Feeser is a boat captain who is working 14-hour days, seven days a week to make ends meet. ‘The sale price of the house is scary. Will I get upside down on this? I will work hard to make sure that doesn’t happen,’ he said.”

From GV Wire in California. “Mayor Jerry Dyer’s ‘One Fresno Housing Plan’ should inspire interesting comments and divergent views today during the city council’s 1 p.m. special meeting. The same report also declares that ‘Fresno has a glut of 28,310 single-family detached units over and above what Fresno households need based on household size.’ Try telling that to everyone who is paying $10,000 to $50,000 over the asking price for a home right now. Fresno can’t be the nation’s most overcooked housing market if it has 28,310 too many single-family homes. In that scenario, prices would plummet, builders would exit, and real estate agents would look for another line of work.”

The San Antonio News Express in Texas. “Chimene Van Gundy refers to herself as the ‘Queen of Mobile Homes’ and ‘the Mobile Home Millionaire.’ The monikers reflect the business she says she’s built buying manufactured homes on the cheap, fixing them up and then flipping them for a tidy profit. Some who have invested with Van Gundy expecting heady returns, however, have a far different take on the entrepreneur. They say she’s reneged on principal and interest payments on the loans they made to her. And they allege she’s orchestrated a Ponzi scheme that has collectively cost them and others at least a few million dollars.”

“A Comal County judge recently appointed a receiver to take control of one of Van Gundy’s firms — Outstanding Real Estate Solutions Inc. (ORES) — and her personal financial affairs. Part of the receiver’s job will be to locate assets and preserve what’s left for creditors. There may be little to recover.”

“‘Everything we’ve seen indicates ORES has no assets,’ attorney Clayton Matheson, who represents some investors, said in arguing for a receiver during a court hearing. ‘The only property ORES is affiliated with is (her) homestead, which Ms. Van Gundy tried to sell…without telling us. So, at the end of the day, there’s nothing there,’ he said.”

The New York Post. “Their money was meant to help create jobs — instead it appears to have gone towards buying one man three mansions. So claims the Securities and Exchange Commission in a case filed against Queens developer Richard Xia. ‘Since 2018, many investors have been demanding the return of their funds, including through lawsuits,’ a late 2021 SEC filing states. ‘To date, no investor has received his or her capital contributions back. And given that the projects consist of an unfinished building and a hole in the ground with insufficient funds to complete either project, the prospects for investors to receive their capital contributions back are remote at best.'”

From CTV News. “It appears the red hot real estate market in Canada’s largest city is finally cooling down. ‘We are starting to see significant drops in some communities of more than 20 per cent for single detached homes in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)’ said Michael Carney, the director of business development at HouseSigma.”

“According to it’s latest figures of GTA home prices, detached homes sold in February were selling for a median price of 12.1 per cent less in April, a price drop from $1.65 million to $1.45 million. Semi-detached homes dropped 13.5 per cent in the same period from $1.33 million to $1.15 million and the biggest drop was in freehold townhouses which were selling for 22.6 per cent less a drop from $1.24 million to $960,000. Condominiums had the smallest decrease of 6.8 per cent, a drop from $740,000 to $690,000.”

From CBC News. “Canada’s red-hot housing market is finally showing signs that it may be cooling. Suddenly, the housing market isn’t quite as absurdly hot as it was even just a month ago. ‘January, February was kind of peak insanity,’ said Vancouver real estate agent Steve Saretsky. ‘It kind of feels like someone turned the lights out.'”

“Saretsky says it will be worse. He’s already seeing properties sell for 10 or 12 per cent lower than comparable homes sold just six or eight weeks ago. ‘That’s comparing it off a peak price, where I think people in February had lost their marbles and were paying way too much,’ he said.”

From News.com.au. “More than half of Aussies who took out a new home loan with one of the major banks lied about their circumstances on the advice of their banker to make sure their loan was approved, shocking new research has revealed. It found that 55 per cent of respondents who had taken a mortgage with ANZ in the six months to December 2021 had made false representations on their application, investment bank UBS’ survey showed.”

“‘We think this is particularly concerning, given ANZ’s persistent declines in mortgage market share, and the fact that 81 per cent of the 93 respondents who misrepresented their ANZ originated loan claim they were advised to do so by their banker,’ said UBS analyst John Storey in the analysis.”

From Domain News. “Australia’s extraordinary run of house price growth has finally come to an end in all but a couple of cities, with the latest data revealing a patchwork of property markets slowing across the nation. House prices fell in Melbourne, Canberra and Darwin over the March quarter, according to the latest Domain House Price Report, released Thursday, while Sydney’s once skyrocketing price growth has now stalled and flatlined.”

“The easing of prices comes as a relief to Sydney first-home buyer Marty Newkirk, who sat on the sidelines of the property market last year watching on in disbelief. ‘Just recently we passed up a house that we were pretty interested in because we felt that we could now probably get something very similar, but for cheaper,’ he said. ‘It felt like the vendors were still hanging on to the end of the bull market, so we walked away. That’s a big change. We might have pulled the trigger on that one if we thought the market was still going up.'”

“Buyer’s agent Peter Kelaher said the pandemic property boom had been an unrealistic and unsustainable situation. ‘It was the biggest property boom in 40 years. It’s over. What we’ll enter into now is a fairly flat sort of market for the next couple of years that looks more like the 2018/2019 market,’ he said. ‘Some vendors still want 2021 prices and the market is just not paying that.'”

    Everyone knew…

      1. Realtors knew it and know it too. They’re deliberately concealing it and lying to the public about it.

        1. Realtors are actually incredibly stupid. Scores of them got wiped out last bubble, never believing it would end.

          1. There’s been more realtors than houses for sale at any given time yet so many of them stayed in the biz….

  4. ‘given that the projects consist of an unfinished building and a hole in the ground with insufficient funds to complete either project, the prospects for investors to receive their capital contributions back are remote at best’

    Well, I would but that would mean having to be in Fresno.

    2. I know we talk about sh!tholes a lot, but Fresno TRULY qualifies. Ghetto dump. There is no fookin’ way I’d ever live there.

    Argg, captain, it doesn’t matter how hard yer working if you paid too much.

      1. Those great big old homes on the coast always featured a widow’s walk. It’s all coming together now.

    2. the security of owning a home…working 14-hour days, seven days a week to make ends meet

      That is the definition of insecurity. And no, you don’t own the home.

    Students at Durham University have been told to attend ‘anti-racism training’ after a row over journalist Rod Liddle.

    The training is aimed at ‘ensuring a safer community for people of colour’. But students have branded it ‘anti-white indoctrination’, ‘divisive’ and are refusing to attend as it clashes with exam revision.

    President Joe Biden has reignited the fire among already outraged parents after claiming their children don’t belong to them ‘when they’re in the classroom.’

    ‘They’re all our children,’ he said Wednesday, addressing educators at the 2022 Teacher of the Year ceremony hosted by the White House. ‘They are not somebody’s else children. They’re like yours when they’re in the classroom.’

      1. “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

        — Vladimir Lenin

        1. It’s incredibly selfish when adults feel they must proselytize to children rather than wait for them to be old enough to form their own opinions.

    2. This sick new leftist idea that children are owned by the state has really gained steam over the last decade. Right out of a Marxist playbook.

      1. Nothing new about it. The globalists & their Democrat-Bolshevik Quislings are implementing the same playbook they used in the run-up to the 1917 October Revolution in Russia. Forward, Soviet!

        “Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.”

        ― Vladimir Lenin

      2. Destruction of the nuclear family has always been one of the primary goals of Marxism.

        The Democrat Party is going into the 2022 midterm elections on a platform of grooming children.

        This is their brand, this is their identity.

        1. Food for thought: Macron, a WEF stooge, had an approval rating of only 36%, yet he somehow was re-elected in a landslide.

          1. I know.

            They’ll release the new CCP Flu variant from the lab just in time to steal the 2022 election.

            Election fraud: it’s a Democrat Party thing…

    4. And if the children get to close to Joe they are all his. After all someone taught Hunter how to diddle kids.

    K-dns are kinda shell shocked. Even the Globe and Mail has their mouth hanging open. Good thing everybody put 30% down.

    1. “help ensure that we never forget”

      In the latter half of the year 2021, if you took the rhetoric coming from the Pedo Joe administration and his Real Journalist media lapdogs, and replaced the term “unvaccinated” with “Jewish people” it would be a 100% accurate replica of what the Germans did in the 1930s.

      These globalists are a genocidal death cult.

    1. I was expecting the current ads to showcase trannies on Mother’s Day. Since I don’t watch broadcast TV and don’t have cable, I don’t know what they are pushing these days. I suppose I should watch the local evening news to catch up with the Narrative.

    2. Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center has a chart on the wall of his office projecting when whitey population in the United States will drop to less than 50%.

      IN BRIEF: Twitter hires former top FBI lawyer Jim Baker as deputy GC
      By Sara Merken

      1 MIN READ

      Twitter Inc has hired Jim Baker, who formerly served as general counsel at the Federal Bureau of Investigation for four years until January 2018, as deputy general counsel.

      Baker, who has also held various roles at the Department of Justice including as counsel for intelligence policy, joins Twitter, which was recently in the spotlight when President Donald Trump signed an executive order on social media companies after he had attacked the company for tagging some of his tweets with a warning that prompted users to fact-check the posts.

          1. “1 minute read” ?

            seriously, it takes me much more than a minute to pour a cuppa, crack open the laptop (and wait .. wait .. waiiiit for windows 7 to load), find my reading glasses, adjust my hemorrhoid pillow & cat. but I repeat myself.

            what is this “1 minute” you speak of, ms evelyn wood graduate ?!

        2. FDR appointed Joseph Kennedy to run the SEC because Kennedy knew who all the bad actors were. He did such a good job that FDR appointed him Ambassador to Great Britain. Perhaps Musk has the same thought about Jim Baker?

          1. Perhaps Musk has the same thought about Jim Baker?

            My apologies. That Reuters article was from June 2020. No connection between Musk and Baker.

      2. So “Twitter” is still Twitter at the moment? When do they expect the actual deal to be done? Because that’s when the real fun is going to start.

        1. If their RSUs automatically vest with the acquisition, I expect a lot of Twitter employees will bail after Musk takes over.

          1. They really jacked our RSU up last year when company was bought I now suspect half the company is doing taxes wrong

            Bummer

          2. “another replay”

            I wonder if she even knows she has become an eternal meme on 4chan as an icon of libtard idiocy?

            “They’re not sending their best”

          3. That footage of the screaming woman brings to mind the movie The Exorcist. Think she was possessed?

          1. Steve Bannon thinks Musk should pull the bid, let Twitter’s management get sued, then get a better deal if he still wants it.

    2. burning the evidence before new mgmt comes

      I’m beginning to suspect that the brouhaha over the Twitter deal has more to do with unearthing evidence of criminality (e.g., conspiracy, election interference) than free speech.

      1. I’m sure that a lot of digital evidence is being wiped, both from primary and backup storage.

      The US economy contracted unexpectedly in the first quarter, reflecting growing trade imbalances and weaker inventory growth, but underlying strength in American consumer and business spending makes it unlikely the Federal Reserve will alter its course.

      Gross domestic product dropped 1.4 per cent on an annualised basis in the first three months of 2022, the US commerce department reported on Thursday, down significantly from the 6.9 per cent rise recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021.

      That marks the first contraction of the economy since mid-2020, when Covid-19 lockdowns had curtailed activity. The data translate to a 0.4 per cent fall compared with the previous quarter, based on a measure used by other major economies.

    Oops! Our Bad! IMF Director Admits “We Printed too Much Money” | SchiffGold
    https://schiffgold.com/commentaries/oops-our-bad-imf-director-admits-we-printed-too-much-money/

    (here …)

    Mostly we get lies, spin and obfuscation from central bankers, politicians and bureaucrats. But every once in a while, one of these people accidentally wanders into the truth.

    IMF Director Kristalina Georgieva did just that during a recent panel discussion hosted by CNBC. She conceded that central banks globally “printed too much money and didn’t think of unintended consequences.”

    I think we are not paying sufficient attention to the law of unintended consequences. We take decisions with an objective in mind and rarely think through what may happen that is not our objective. And then we wrestle with the impact of it.

    “Take any decision that is a massive decision, like the decision that we need to spend to support the economy. At that time, we did recognize that maybe too much money in circulation and too few goods, but didn’t really quite think through the consequence in a way that upfront would have informed better what we do.”

    How this economic brain trust missed failed to consider that injecting trillions into the economy would cause prices to rise is a bit of a head-scratcher. This is economics 101. Expanding the money supply pushes prices higher than they otherwise would be. I knew this would happen. Peter Schiff knew this would happen. Heck, you probably knew this would happen. But the people charged with running the global economy didn’t?

    These people are either wildly incompetent, or they are lying to you.

    Either way, they are “bad economists” as defined by Frédéric Bastiat.

    Between a good and a bad economist this constitutes the whole difference — the one takes account of the visible effect; the other takes account both of the effects which are seen, and also of those which it is necessary to foresee.”

    Good on Georgieva, I guess. They say admitting your problem is the first step on the road to recovery. So, you might think this confession is a step forward. But I assure you, it’s not. The ego, arrogance, and hubris that make these people think they can micromanage the global economy remain firmly in place. They just think they need to try a little bit harder.

    Although Georgieva admits a mistake, the rest of her comment reveals she hasn’t learned the lesson.

    We act sometimes like eight years old playing soccer. Here is the ball, we are all at the ball. And we don’t cover the rest of the field.

    “Our ability to deal with more than one crisis at one time is very, very limited. and we have to zero in on the really big things that could determine the future and keep our attention on them.”

    Basically, she’s saying, “Oops! Our bad! We messed up because we didn’t consider the unintended consequences. But we’re going to do better next time because our focus is going to be right on point.”

    Georgieva, Powell, Biden, LaGarde, and the whole lot of these central planners don’t understand that it is impossible for them to take into account all of the unintended consequences of a given policy prescription. That’s why central planning is always doomed to failure.

    Economist F.A. Hayek got to the root of the problem in his seminal paper, “The Use of Knowledge in Society.” In a nutshell, Hayek concluded that central planning will always fail because it is impossible for the central planners to possess all of the information necessary to factor in all of the ramifications of any given policy.

    The knowledge of the circumstances of which we must make use never exists in concentrated or integrated form, but solely as the dispersed bits of incomplete and frequently contradictory knowledge which all the separate individuals possess.”

    Or as FEE put it in its introduction to Hayek’s work:

    Hayek points out that sensibly allocating scarce resources requires knowledge dispersed among many people, with no individual or group of experts capable of acquiring it all.”

    Simply put, unintended consequences are inevitable in central planning. No matter how hard the central planner try, they are going to miss stuff. No matter how smart an individual or a group of individuals might be, they don’t have all of the knowledge they need. They can’t have it. It’s impossible.

    The problem is that people like Georgieva don’t understand this. They they their crew is smart enough, wise enough and that they care enough to get the job done. If the make a mistake, they just need to try harder.

    And that’s where they’re wrong. They need to quit trying, get out of the way and let the market function.

      1. Oops!

        I’ve read that paper by Hayek and highly recommend it. It’s a beautifully clear description of why a free market economy works much better than a centrally planned one.

  27. “…they are temporarily adjusting staffing levels to accommodate rapidly changing conditions in the housing market.”

    Hard landing dead ahead. Hurry, foam the runway!

  29. ‘Dr. James Thorp is an extensively published 68-year-old physician MD board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as maternal-fetal medicine, who has practiced obstetrics for over 42 years.’

    ‘Thorp told The Epoch Times that he sees 6,000–7,000 high-risk pregnant patients a year and has seen many complications among them due to the COVID vaccines.’

    “I’ve seen many, many, many complications in pregnant women, in moms and in fetuses, in children, offspring,” Thorp said, “fetal death, miscarriage, death of the fetus inside the mom. What I’ve seen in the last two years is unprecedented,” Thorp asserted.’

    ‘Thorp explained that although he has seen an increase in fetal death and adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with the COVID-19 vaccination, attempts to quantify this effect are hampered by the imposition of gag orders on physicians and nurses that were imposed in September 2021, as reviewed in the publication “Patient Betrayal: The Corruption of Healthcare, Informed Consent and the Physician-Patient Relationship”

    ‘The amount of BioNTech vaccines shipped worldwide at the time has been redacted in the aforementioned document. “Why did they redact that? That would have been unbelievable information that would give you the exact numerator and denominator,” Thorp said.’

    ‘“From data that we have, there appears to be a concentration of the lipid nanoparticles, which are very, very small particles, which are in the vaccine that are injected into the arm,” Thorp said, “and then the vast majority of those are dispersed throughout the entire body.”

    “They appear to concentrate in the ovaries, and they appear to cross all God-made barriers in the human body, the blood-brain barrier, the placental barrier during pregnancy, into the fetal bloodstream, and all the fetal tissues inside the womb, crossing the blood-brain barrier in the fetus, the baby in the womb, which is very concerning,” he noted, since the eggs produced by women are limited in number, and they would be “exposed to a potentially disastrous toxic lipid nanoparticle.”

    ‘Dr. Christiane Northrup is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist with more than 30 years of experience and the former president of the American Holistic Medical Association. She also served on their board during the 80s and early 90s.’

    ‘She told The Epoch Times last October about how were women being affected by the vaccines. “Women are having bleedings. The doctors in our area are doing hysterectomies in young women, like 30-somethings, they said, ‘Oh, it’s not unusual.’ Let me tell you, as a board-certified gynecologist, that’s very unusual. Women’s periods are messed up all over the place … I’ve had a huge Facebook group of thousands of women talking about this situation that was removed,” Northrup said.’

  30. ‘They just told us we don’t have much business anymore. There’s not enough leads to go around for everyone to make money and for the company to make money,’
    Making money issues already? Margin compression hasn’t been mentioned in any of the articles about layoffs and volume reduction and the margin compression is probably just getting started. It’s “gonna” be real ugly out there! Trying to remember from years ago but my best guess is if volume is down 42% (avg of Freddie/Fannie & MBA) then revenue will be down over 60%.

  32. Vaccines that kill a fetus, or prevent a pregnancy from being sucessful is also genocide of a life.
    FDA is going to approve anybody getting the vaccine, even 6 month old babies.
    There is no longer a Goverment regulatory Agency that prevents harmful pharmaceutical products , especially in the case of vaccines where Big Pharmacy has immunity.
    They don’t care who is injured or killed, simple as that . They want 70 to 90% of the World vaccinated by forced or mandate or by defrauding on risks.
    They must be stopped, but they think nothing can stop them.

    1. Just wait, they’ll try to impose mandates again this Fall, even if infections are few. We will be told that it’s the only way to keep it from returning, so roll up that sleeve.

    Morano on Buttigieg floating ‘monthly transportation payment’ that ‘covers everything’ to replace monthly car payments: “What Buttigieg is actually up to with this monthly transportation payment that covers everything instead of a car payment — to replace your car payment — it is part of the plan…you’re going to be funding the end of not just the internal combustion engine but the end of private car ownership, which literally, group after group and the climate agenda is saying has to come to an end. Private car ownership has been called 20th-century outdated thinking.

    Morano on: Northern Ireland faces loss of 1 million sheep and cattle to meet climate targets: “What Ireland is doing is literally by getting rid of their livestock is what the World Economic Forum, the Davos crowd, what Bill Gates are seeking…They want us to stop eating meat. They want us to eat insects, weeds, and fake meat burgers. This is actually the goal of Bill Gates, who is now going to have huge sway as America’s largest farm owner to do this.

    Morano: They want to cripple national economies. What is Europe now except energy crippled in the face of Vladimir Putin’s aggression? They’re almost helpless because they shut down their own energy and now we have them shutting down their own food supply. This is bonkers Kara. A to Z bonkers! I don’t know how else to use another word to describe what’s happening globally now because of the climate agenda.”

    1. Northern Ireland faces loss of 1 million sheep and cattle to meet climate targets

      I think they really want to starve everyone to death. And let us not forget, Anti-president Brandon has already told us there will be food shortages.

  34. You WILL comply, or else …………………..We just updated our administrative code. It gives us the opportunity and the know-how to go ahead and implement something called a ‘flow restriction device’ and this would be something that’s put on people’s meters,” McNutt said. “And what this does is it minimizes the amount of water going and flowing into the home.”

  37. I just saw A post from a person who said their life was so much better before the internet.
    So if computer technology is just going to be used to enslave and socially engineer people , than everyone should throw it all away in a big pile. all at once. We are now carrying around the weapon they plan to use. . .
    Reject pharmaceuticals, another weapon. No reliance on weapons the enemy uses.

    2. This time he missed the boat. Good time to sell was last year, before interest rates rocketed up towards normalcy at the fastest pace in history.

  39. Today I saw my Leftist neighbor, a loud mouthed Karen (I know, redundant), return from walking her dog, so I asked her “What’s in the bag”.

    Little things like this and a good cigar make me happy. I’m a simple man.

  40. Wishful thinking or smoking crack?

    1. Will mortgage rates go up after the May Fed meeting?

      Will mortgage rates really keep rising?

      Rapid interest rate growth will likely follow the Federal Reserve’s next Open Market Committee meeting on May 3 and 4.

      As inflation stands at 40-year highs, the central bank will pull the levers at its disposal to combat it and keep interest rates reflective of the swelling economy.

      We’ve already seen mortgage rates expand at a historic pace so far in 2022 and that could be an ongoing theme for the year.

      For any borrowers on the fence about locking in a rate — whether to buy a house or refinance — the time to make a move is now.

  43. Everyone’s Anti-War Until The War Propaganda Starts (4/26/2022):

    “Everyone’s anti-war until the war propaganda starts. Nobody thinks of themselves as a warmonger, but then the spin machine gets going and before you know it they’re spouting the slogans they’ve been programmed to spout and waving the flags the flags they’ve been programmed to wave and consenting to whatever the imperial war machine wants in that moment.

    Virtually everyone will tell you they love peace and hate war when asked; war is the very worst thing in the world, and no healthy person relishes the thought of it. But when the rubber meets the road and it’s time to oppose war and push for peace, those who’d previously proclaimed themselves “anti-war” are on the other side screaming for more weapons to be poured into a proxy war that their government deliberately provoked.”

      Growth in the eurozone economy weakened during the first quarter while inflation inched up to a new record in April, raising the spectre of stagflation in a region blighted by soaring energy and food prices.

      Gross domestic product in the 19 countries that share the euro grew 0.2 per cent in the first three months of the year, compared with 0.3 per cent in the previous quarter, Eurostat said on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had on average forecast growth to remain stable.

      France’s economy stagnated in the first quarter while Italian output contracted. The Spanish economy also lost pace. Germany was the only one of the four biggest EU economies to beat expectations in the first three months of this year, but posted meagre growth of 0.2 per cent from the previous three months.

  45. Joe Biden is a war criminal.

    Russia Today — Biden seeks $33 billion more for Ukraine (4/28/2022):

    “US President Joe Biden has asked Congress for an additional $33 billion in funding to prop up Ukraine in the ongoing conflict with Russia. A vast part of the massive package is destined for additional military and security aid, while the rest will be used for economic and humanitarian assistance.

    The US administration wants the aid package to get designated as emergency spending, so that it does not have to be offset by spending cuts elsewhere. Apart from the massive aid package for Ukraine, Biden is also seeking new powers to target wealthy Russians the US administration believes to be ‘oligarchs.’

    Russia is winning.

    1. “The US administration wants the aid package to get designated as emergency spending, so that it does not have to be offset by spending cuts elsewhere.”

      Maybe our snowflakes would like to forego their student loan forgiveness in order to help Ukraine?

    2. The US administration wants the aid package to get designated as emergency spending

      What’s a little more stagflation among friends?

  47. The 2020 election was stolen:

    “Let’s Go Brandon” — a rhyming stand-in for a four-letter epithet for President Joe Biden — meets the legal standard to be state Rep. Dave Williams’ nickname, but its political nature nonetheless disqualifies its use on the primary election ballot, a Denver judge ruled Wednesday.

    Williams is seeking the Republican nomination for the congressional district that covers El Paso County. He sued Secretary of State Jenna Griswold last week to have it included as a nickname on the June primary ballot. He brands his social media accounts as Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, and even signed the lawsuit as Dave “LGB” Williams.

    While state law allows candidates to include nicknames in quotes on election ballots, it can’t include any part of a political party name. Griswold denied it initially on political grounds.

  48. This is a Mass Formation Psychosis article, with an additional component of anti-white racism (source credit to Associated Press).

    Racial split on COVID-19 endures as restrictions ease in US (4/28/2022):

    “people’s lived experiences deeply shape how they perceive the pandemic. Anecdotes and personal experience can have a larger impact on behavior than numbers, she said, and people of color are more likely to have had negative experiences with health care prior to and during the pandemic.”

    Blah blah blah blame whitey.

    “Lower support for mask mandates and other precautions among white Americans may also reflect less sensitivity towards what occurs in communities of color.”

    Citizens don’t wear masks. Only slaves wear masks.

    “Anti-Blackness is really pervasive and has tremendous consequences, both in terms of the policies that get passed, and what doesn’t” … “White people can still have really racist actions without seeing themselves that way and understanding the consequences. It’s largely below the surface and unintentional but has tremendous consequences in terms of equity.”

    JOB

    “Masking is something that is relatively cheap, it’s effective, and it’s something that can be easily done” … “It doesn’t require any sort of governmental response. These broader histories of racism and sexism in the United States are most certainly shaping some of the patterns we’re seeing.”

    Note this at the bottom of the article:

    “The Associated Press’ reporting around issues of race and ethnicity is supported in part by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education. The AP is solely responsible for all content.”

    Translation: make whitey pay.

    “They’re not sending their best”

    1. They are pulling their hair out trying to get minorities to agree to get jabbed. The Spanish language media is still imploring Hispanics to get jabbed, using fear tactics, with clinics being set up in places that are convenient for them. I don’t access black media, but I’ll bet it’s the same there.
