My Whole Investment Is Being Threatened, I Am Terrified
A report from KTAR News in Arizona. “Home values fell by 2.8% in metro Phoenix over the last year, one of the biggest drops in the country. Price isn’t the only indicator shifting in buyers’ favor, with inventory up and mortgage costs down. Still, many potential Phoenix homebuyers are choosing to wait. ‘The number of homes on the market is up almost 38% from last year in Phoenix, and that’s almost double what we see nationally,’ Kara Ng, a Zillow senior economist, said Tuesday. Only Austin (-5.1%), Tampa (-5%), San Antonio (-3.2%) and Dallas (-3%) saw larger drops in home value than Phoenix over the last year. However, Tina Tamboer, senior housing analyst with the Cromford Report, explained that the dip in Valley home values might be deceiving. ‘In the times of turmoil or volatility, you tend to see the luxury market takes a pause. And so, you’ll see what would appear to be a large drop in price, but what it really is is a shift in market share,’ Tamboer told KTAR News. ‘It makes it look like there’s a big drop, but there’s really not much of a drop,’ she said.”
“Still, Tamboer believes the Valley has been in buyer’s market mode for seven months. ‘The inventory’s been crawling up for quite some time, but I wouldn’t say we’re at any kind of alarming level, and we’ve actually started to see it level off over the last three or four weeks,’ she said. ‘I think the best thing for buyers is to get out there and at least look at what the inventory is instead of waiting for the prices to come down, because by the time we start reporting on that, oftentimes it’s already shifted.'”
Business Observer. “A new report has found investors are backing away from putting money into condominiums nationally, with Florida’s well documented trouble dragging the entire market down. Redfin says the slowdown is due to buyer concern that condos will lose value. And that is a legitimate concern: according to its analysis, 68% U.S. condos sold below list price at the start of 2025, the lowest share in five years. Just last week, Homes.com shared data with the Business Observer showing that the median price of condos fell 10.9% from this time last year to $205,000 in Tampa. Fort Myers saw a 20% drop from a year ago to $300,000 while both Naples and Sarasota saw 20% drops. The median price for a condo in Sarasota fell to $320,000 and in Naples it fell to $500,000. ‘The Florida condo market is in uncharted territory,’ Tim Harper, a Redfin Premier agent working in metro Orlando, says in the report. ‘We’re seeing a massive influx of condo inventory because a lot of senior citizens on fixed incomes can no longer afford their monthly payments, and a lot of other condo owners just want to move because they’re tired of dealing with rising HOA fees and special assessments.'”
“One Washington, D.C. agent is quoted as saying ‘people who own condos as rentals are trying to offload them because the money no longer makes sense. And people aren’t buying condos to rent them out anymore unless they have cash to burn.'”
From WINK News. “The once-hot housing market in Southwest Florida has cooled significantly, leaving many homeowners with properties lingering on the market. Darleen Strange, a Florida resident, has been trying to sell her mother’s home in Fort Myers since November of last year. CBS reporter Cristian Benavides asked if her if it was disheartening. ‘It makes me wonder, is it ever gonna happen? It’s been on the market right at about 157 days. We’ve only had four people come look at it,’ Strange said. Realtor Angie Ramos has experienced similar challenges, with at least six of her listed properties sitting unsold for extended periods. ‘We’re seeing a lot of price reductions. Things are selling, but not as quickly as one would want to,’ said Ramos.”
“Benavides asked Ramos about the real estate market a couple of years ago. ‘Robust,’ Ramos said. ‘It was moving right along. We were selling, selling, selling.’ Cape Coral saw the biggest year-over-year price drop in April, followed by North Port, Florida, Austin, Texas, Tampa and Lakeland, Florida. Strange is eager to sell the home to cover her mother’s assisted living expenses. Benavides inquired about the urgency of the sale. Strange said, ‘We’re getting to the point [that] if something doesn’t happen within the next year, it would be a scary situation.'”
From Vail Daily. “Home prices aren’t on the decline, at least not to the extent we experienced during the economic crisis in 2008. There are still certain markets and specific types of homes where bargains are available. For instance, Colorado ranks second, just behind Arizona, in active housing inventory, gradually returning to pre-pandemic levels. Factors contributing to the surplus include the fact that many homebuyers who purchased in 2022-23 did so at the market’s peak. Economic uncertainty, inflation, and higher interest rates have put financial pressure on these newer homeowners, prompting some to sell. Aging structures requiring costly repairs, such as roofs, boilers, and common areas, have become burdensome, saturating the market with condominiums and townhomes from owners eager to sell.”
“Most of this rising inventory is in the Denver metro area. In 2024, there were 3,336 condominiums on the market. This year, the number has grown to 4,125, marking a 21% increase. In Eagle County, the number rose from 619 in 2024 to 662 this year, a 6.5% increase. For a specific example of price corrections, in November 2023, a two-bedroom condo at the Villas of Brett Ranch in Edwards sold for $775,000. By April 2025, a similar condo in the same complex sold for $620,000. Currently, there are four units for sale in that complex. Recently, HOA dues increased from the mid-$300s to over $700 per month due to new roofs, boilers, and rising insurance costs. This situation is driving prices down and prompting some to sell.”
The Guardian on California. “The cuts are already being acutely felt in LA’s burn zones. Disaster relief is composed of many different agencies at the local, state and federal levels, and the federal support is now being pulled out. ‘Jenga is one of the best ways to describe it,’ said Kelly Daly, AmeriCorps employees union AFSCME Local 2027 president. ‘It’s going to come tumbling down.’ Judy Chu, the US congresswoman who represents wildfire survivors in Altadena, said she feared the federal cuts would make it harder for survivors to navigate recovery. A woman who lost her home in the Eaton fire had told Chu she had secured a loan from the SBA, support she said was crucial because she was underinsured and couldn’t afford to rebuild without a loan. Since the Doge cuts, she said her caseworker was not responsive and she experienced long wait times to get questions answered. ‘Our community was devastated,’ the woman wrote to Chu. ‘We want to rebuild and move forward, but how can we when the very support we rely on is being stripped away?'”
The Santa Cruz Sentinel in California. “Rep. Sam Liccardo, D-San Jose, lashed out at President Donald Trump’s cuts to programs combating climate change on Friday in Pacifica, where local officials and residents have been left scrambling to protect critical infrastructure after a long-anticipated $50 million federal grant to address severe coastal erosion along Beach Boulevard in Pacifica was scrapped. Local property owners and business leaders are now raising the alarm over what the funding loss could mean for the city’s future. ‘I love this place — this is my dream come true,’ said Jenifer Behling, who owns an eight-unit apartment building near Beach Boulevard. ‘I provide housing for seven other families to also enjoy life along the ocean. My whole investment is being threatened. I am terrified.'”
Storeys in Canada. “A mere 310 new home sales were recorded across the entire GTA in April — the seventh consecutive month that saw sales hit historic lows, surpassing the infamous 1990 downturn. For context, a typical April would historically see around 2,750 new home sales, according to the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD). Compared to last year, sales were down 72% in April and sat 89% below the 10-year average. The majority of sales were made up of new single-family homes, which totalled 205 sales, sliding 66% year over year. New condos made up the remaining 105 sales, a bleak 80% drop from April 2024 and 94% below the 10-year average. Inventory ticked down from 21,707 in March to 21,363 units but remains well above average levels at 15 months of inventory. This includes 16,555 condominium apartment units and 4,808 single-family dwellings.”
The Weekly Voice in Canada. “Entry-level homes in Mississauga and Brampton are now selling at staggering losses, highlighting the ongoing correction in the GTA’s real estate market and the financial toll on first-time buyers who purchased at peak prices during the 2022 housing frenzy. In Mississauga’s Malton neighborhood, a semi-detached home at 7359 Sigsbee Drive originally sold for $1,150,000 in April 2022. After failing to attract buyers at reduced list prices through late 2023, the property finally sold this month for $775,000—a $375,000 loss. Similarly, a townhouse at 69 Betterton Crescent in Brampton’s Mount Pleasant community sold for $1,230,000 in January 2022. The home had previously been purchased for $740,000 in 2020. After numerous attempts to sell throughout 2024, the property finally closed this May for $840,000, reflecting a $390,000 drop from its peak.”
The Globe and Mail in Canada. “The co-founders of now-defunct syndicated mortgage company Fortress Real Developments Inc. have been found guilty of fraud after a lengthy criminal trial. Lawyers for Jawad Rathore, Fortress’s former chief executive officer, and Vince Petrozza, its former chief operating officer, said their clients plan to appeal the Ontario Court of Justice verdict. The company helped to popularize the concept of bringing syndicated mortgages to the masses by allowing mom-and-pop investors to pool their funds and participate in financing early-stage real estate projects. Previously, this type of investment opportunity had been available primarily to wealthy and institutional investors. More than 14,000 retail investors provided $920-million in financing to Fortress for 80 construction projects in cities across the country. While some of the projects were completed, others failed.”
“A group representing Fortress’s investors, Victims of Syndicated Mortgage Investments, has estimated them at $416.7-million. Corinne Sutej, who started VOSMI, expressed relief about the decision. ‘I think that the judge reiterated that we were right to feel deceived,’ she said. Ms. Sutej had invested $25,000 in a Calgary project and lost 90 per cent of her investment. Ekaterina Denisevich invested $100,000 in SkyCity after being promised by an agent that her principal would be safe. The Toronto resident invested in a handful of other Fortress projects, as well. Although one of them was completed, Ms. Denisevich estimates her total losses at $170,000 – money she had planned to give to her daughter. ‘Until I see them in jail, I cannot say anything. It’s too early to be happy,’ she said.”

That’s interesting Tina cuz you’ve only called fire in the past month or so. You only call a trend when it’s been going on for half a year.
What valley is “the Valley” in Phoenix? [checks googmaps] Do they mean Prescott? Or is the whole thing a valley?
The whole thing. All 17 cities and counting.
like North south from Scottsdale to Maricopa and east west Apache junction to Goodyear ? I used to live in Ahwatukee and was surprised to see hwy 202 loop finished. Being in CA now that would take 30 years to build and cost trillions. They have nice roads in Phoenix .
Realtors are liars.
Unicorns, chupacabras, sasquatches, and honest realtors are all mythical creatures.

Are we there yet Canada?

So you want me to pay to protect your 8 unit apartment building near the ocean. Oh sure, where do I sign up to protect YOUR investment and “Dream?” As always, “other People’s money” is the key to happiness.
“We have grave threats facing Pacifica [snip],” said Liccardo during a press conference along Pacifica’s scenic shoreline.
You can’t stop the ocean, Sam.
Beaches have been eroding with and without climate change for hundreds of millions of years. This sounds like a $50 million grift to me. And if climate change causes beach erosion, then wouldn’t every coastal community be entitled to such munnies?
I don’t know anything about coastal erosion, but what does $50 million buy you? Beach Boulevard is not even a half mile long, lined with $1.5-million homes. [The tiny house/trailer park community a little north of it is cute though. 1-2 beds for under $70K… with $3000/mo lot rent.]
“…what does $50 million buy you? Beach Boulevard is not even a half mile long, lined with $1.5-million homes…”
And once the $50 million money grab is complete, the beachfront owners will do everything possible to deny public access to “their” beach.
“…deny public access to “their” beach.”
Good point.
‘For a specific example of price corrections, in November 2023, a two-bedroom condo at the Villas of Brett Ranch in Edwards sold for $775,000. By April 2025, a similar condo in the same complex sold for $620,000. Currently, there are four units for sale in that complex’
It’s a good thing everybody put 25% down!
‘It makes it look like there’s a big drop, but there’s really not much of a drop,’ she said.”
Home values fell by 2.8%. There ain’t no way I would call that a big drop. Maybe, move the decimal point 1 place to the right and then we can talk about a big drop.
Median statistics are a lagging indicator when a market turns. Prices might have been falling for a year. Cromford data is extensive, but they baffle with BS. IMO the real story there like so many other places is unsold inventory shooting up in their hottest season.
Nailed it.
Speaking of lagging indicators, how are those Case-Shiller price indexes holding up these days?
Case-Shiller: Home Price Growth Turned Negative Month-Over-Month in March
By Patrick Barnard –
May 28, 2025
Despite increased inventory, U.S. home prices posted a decrease of -0.3% in March compared with February but were up year-over-year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index.
The 10-city composite index – measuring home prices in the 10 largest U.S. cities – recorded an increase of 0.01% compared with February while the 20-city composite index saw a decrease of -0.1%.
Year-over-year, home prices were up 3.4%. The 10-city composite saw an annual increase of 4.8% while the 20-city composite posted a year-over-year increase of 4.1%.
New York again reported the highest annual gain among the 20 cities with an 8% increase in March, followed by Chicago and Cleveland with annual increases of 6.5% and 5.9%, respectively.
Tampa posted the lowest return, falling 2.2%.
High home prices and higher mortgage rates have generally dampened buyer activity this spring season – but as more homes come onto the market, home prices are starting to fall, particularly in markets where home construction has been strong.
“Home price growth continued to decelerate on an annual basis in March, even as the market experienced its strongest monthly gains so far in 2025,” says Nicholas Godec, CFA, CAIA, CIPM, head of fixed income tradables and commodities at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “This divergence between slowing year-over-year appreciation and renewed spring momentum highlighted how the housing market shifted from mere resilience to a broader seasonal recovery. Limited supply and steady demand drove prices higher across most metropolitan areas, despite affordability challenges remaining firmly in place.”
“The National Composite Home Price Index posted a 3.4 percent annual gain in March 2025, down from February’s 4.0 percent pace,” Godec says. “Notably, only 0.9 percent of that year-over-year increase came from the past six months, indicating that most appreciation was front-loaded earlier in the year-long period.”
“This pattern underscored a broad cooling trend in second-half 2024 home prices even as spring 2025 arrived,” Godec says. “By comparison, the 20-city composite rose 4.1% year over year, and the 10-city composite climbed 4.8 percent, reflecting somewhat stronger annual appreciation in the largest urban markets.”

“Tampa posted the lowest return, falling 2.2%.”
If prices are falling, is it technically still a return? I’d call it a loss!
It’s a negative return, but still a return.
Another old house for sale in the decaying inner city of West Pensacola. It appears that the speculator investor has changed their mind. Per Cheryl, a real estate professional (but not likely a structural engineer), the house has “solid bones and endless possibilities”. In my humble opinion, the most likely possibility is that it will soon be overrun by vagrants and drug addicts.

Florida is finished
Looks like a teardown.
yeah it does and for $225,000?
Hmmm:
5/19/2025 Price change $225,000
12/19/2024 Sold $123,000
Comps in this area are around $150K, but for smaller houses. In move-in condition, best case for a house like this is $250K. If the flipper could have kept the reno cost to $100K, it could work. So either this guy found that the reno would cost far too much, or he found some unfixable structural issue. And now he’s trying to sucker someone in with that price increase.
Yeah, I think it will eventually be demolished. It’s really too bad — the house looks like it has a lot of happy memories.
Yeah, I think it will eventually be demolished.
Which means that at best it’s only worth what the lot is worth, minus the tear down costs. So it it’s possibly worthless.
If this house at this price were located a boomy city like Charlotte or Nashville or some active mid-western city like Columbus, a flip would be financially viable. But not in a swamp with low comp.
“But not in a swamp with low comp.”
With the climate becoming increasingly active the Gulf coast is not a wise choice.
“With the climate becoming increasingly active…”
The climate is not likely to be increasingly active. It is simply that humans with lots of money have built much more elaborate and expensive homes, hotels, and resorts very close to the water so losses are exponentially higher.
Listing says ZERO DOWN USDA LOAN Eligible!! WTF are you gonna farm there? BTW USDA does have some interesting loan options available if you’re a multi gender negro with serious sexual dysfunction and are interested in dude ranching.
Oops wrong nest, this is for the waterfront place just down from here.
v v v
It’s just a gully.
I frequently ride my motorcycle through this neighborhood. I don’t understand why someone would purchase a waterfront house without access to the water. In 2004, Hurricane Ivan hammered the Pensacola area with 130 mph wind gusts and a storm surge of 10-15 feet. The storm was so brutal it took down the Interstate 10 bridge over Escambia Bay. Traffic was pure hell until the new bridge was completed about a year later. This property is on the same bay. Since this house isn’t on pilings, it was likely gutted by storm surge. Listed now for 440K. Purchased in 2021 for 355K. They put it back on the market in 2024 for 535K. Now, they’re just chasing the market down. Purchased in 2014 for 192K.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4633-Bayside-Dr-Milton-FL-32583/47903749_zpid/
From original list of $535K now offered at $440K. My maths is very bad but that seems like more than 2%. Just sayin.
US to Start Revoking Visas of Chinese Students: Rubio
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on May 28 that the United States would begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
“The U.S. will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,” Rubio wrote on X.
The State Department confirmed the action in a short press release, stating that it will work with the Department of Homeland Security to “aggressively revoke” the visas. It will also revise the visa criteria and “enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications” from China and Hong Kong.
According to the State Department, the Chinese regime monitors Chinese students, mobilizing them through the Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA). Some CSSA branches in the United States have openly admitted that they are directed, supported, or financed by Chinese consulates. These students have been known to attempt forced cancellation of events or speeches hosted by overseas dissident groups at U.S. schools.
The FBI warns on its website that the CCP uses its post-graduate students and post-doctorate researchers in fields like engineering, science, and mathematics to “operate as non-traditional collectors of intellectual property.”
“China is the world’s principal infringer of intellectual property. The annual cost to the U.S. economy of counterfeit goods, pirated software, and theft of trade secrets is between $225 billion and $600 billion,” the FBI states.
This announcement also comes hours after Rubio announced new visa restrictions for foreign nationals found to be involved with censoring the free speech of U.S. citizens.
“For too long, Americans have been fined, harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising their free speech rights,” Rubio announced in a post on X.
“Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign officials and persons who are complicit in censoring Americans. Free speech is essential to the American way of life—a birthright over which foreign governments have no authority.”

US to Start Revoking Visas of Chinese Students: Rubio
Good
“Some CSSA branches in the United States”
I had no idea there was such a thing. So they’re actively banding together to rob us blind. Yes, good. Keep them out of country, before they set foot on our magic Due Process dirt and claim they have some Constitutional right to steal.
Int’l students left in limbo as Trump administration halts US visa appointments
International students around the world are facing rising anxiety and uncertainty as the Trump administration moves to temporarily suspend US student visa appointments, citing a planned expansion of social media vetting procedures for visa applicants.
According to an internal memo obtained by BBC’s US partner, CBS News, the US State Department has ordered a temporary halt to student and foreign exchange visa appointments, a move that could affect tens of thousands of prospective students planning to begin studies in the United States.
The measure is part of a broader campaign by President Donald Trump to tighten immigration and restrict what he sees as left-leaning influence in American academic institutions, including some of the nation’s elite universities.
“This delay is devastating,” said one affected student from India. “I’ve earned a full scholarship to a top university, but now I’m not sure if I can even make it to campus.”
https://ptv.com.pk/ptvworld/newsdetail/6504
“This delay is devastating,” said one affected student from India. “I’ve earned a full scholarship to a top university, but now I’m not sure if I can even make it to campus.”
Why not just earn that degree in India? Or is the real objective a green card?
Funny, how the US is supposed to be such an awful country, yet everyone still wants to come here.
And who is paying for this “full scholarship?”
Are Indians (red dot) still considered an protected class, or are they considered “white adjacent”?
You mean the push starts?
What about the pull starts? (towels)
ICE agents seize immigrants inside Manhattan federal building housing immigration court
ICE agents dressed in plain clothes on Wednesday made a sweep of immigration-related arrests inside a Manhattan federal building that houses immigration court.
The group of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, donning masks and regular clothes, was observed inside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan. Immigrants are often on-site at the location to manage administrative tasks, including applications for citizenship, court dates and other services.
Agents rounded up and arrested several immigrants and onlookers just after 11 a.m. on May 28. The feds appeared to have printouts of photographs to match their intended targets.
An attorney walking out of the building told reporters that the sweep was going on all day.
“Since early this morning, they were lining people up near the elevator and matching them up with photos on printed handouts,” the witness said.
Immigration advocates quickly responded to the raid. Rosa Santana, co-executive director of Envision Freedom Fund, denounced the arrests Wednesday afternoon.
“Immigration courthouse arrests like the ones we are seeing here in New York City rip people from their families, destroy trust, and make it almost impossible for people to effectively fight their immigration cases,” she said. “Likewise, workplace raids prevent people from supporting their families financially, and the fear and chaos also make people afraid to seek medical care or to send their children to school. This is, shamefully, the intended effect.”
The arrests come on the heels of a NYC public school student whom ICE arrested last week during a court hearing.

““Likewise, workplace raids prevent people from supporting their families financially”
Isn’t it illegal to work in the United States unless you have a green card or the parole temporary work permit?
Police detail how South American Theft Group burglarized Phoenix-area homes
Scottsdale police detailed Tuesday how they believe seven members of an organized international crime ring originating out of South America allegedly carried out a string of Valley home burglaries.
Burbank, California, police first tipped off the Scottsdale Police Department, warning that a crew suspected in similar burglaries across Oregon, Washington, and California may be headed to Arizona.
Court documents describe a coordinated scheme that they stuck to. One suspect would pose as an Uber Eats driver to scope out homes, while multiple women with the group walked dogs on nearby streets, serving as lookouts or getaway drivers. Meanwhile, other men of the crew would break into the homes through a side or back door or window, stealing thousands of dollars in valuables.
Among the stolen items were a Rolex, expensive designer shoes, pearl necklaces, a passport and other prized possessions. The group had plans to then sell the items.
Police say all of the people arrested are part of the South American Theft Group with ties to Colombia. All seven are now facing charges.
Arizona’s Family spoke with people at both of the homes hit in the group’s most recent crime spree, one in Tempe, the other in Mesa. The owners declined to go on camera, but said that the thieves made off with important and sentimental items. One resident described the incident as “scary.”

Rosecrans homeless shelter in San Diego set to close amid city-county dispute; nine others pause intakes
The Rosecrans Shelter in San Diego’s Midway District is set to close after opening its doors in 2022, leaving 136 clients in need of relocation.
The shelter, which focuses on individuals dealing with severe mental illness, will lose its nearly $5 million in funding as it’s not included in the City of San Diego’s proposed budget for next year.
“It is the first that I’ve seen in my four decades of true partnership between the City and the County, and it was working well,” Bob McElroy said.
McElroy, president of Alpha Project, the non-profit contracted to run the homeless shelter, called it a flagship program for the area.
He described the current situation as chaotic. “Panicking basically. Panicking from top to bottom,” McElroy said.
As part of the fallout, nine homeless shelters have temporarily suspended new intakes. The Housing Commission announced that “formal communication to all shelters about the intake suspension occurred May 21. This is to support the transition of clients at the Rosecrans Shelter to alternative shelter options due to the uncertainty about the future operations of the Rosecrans Shelter in the upcoming fiscal year.”
McElroy expressed concern for those who must be relocated. “This is the first time that many of the folks that are in this shelter have ever come into a shelter before,” McElroy said. “That’s all I’m hearing; violation of trust, I’ll never go into another shelter. They finally trusted the system and the system let them down.”

Frustration mounts over Berkeley homeless encampment
Tents and belongings were staying in place late Wednesday on the deadline for a large homeless encampment to be cleared at Berkeley’s Ohlone Park.
The delay in removing the encampment has left some neighbors frustrated.
“When they say they are trying to be just peaceful homeless, that’s not the case at all,” said Hossein Attar with the Save Ohlone Park group. “The drug use in the back, the stealing — they have stolen property from my tenants, so it’s an ongoing problem.”
Attar owns apartment buildings near the park and is part of a group considering legal action to force the city to move forward with plans to clear and clean the area.
“This is a park for children. This is a park for people, students. This is not a park for drug use and that is what it has turned into,” Attar said. “I understand that there is homelessness, but there is a solution. There is a way to deal with it. This is not the way to deal with it.”
“It’s not their fault that they have nowhere to go and Berkeley could have done a better job with the state of California and Gavin Newsom to house these people (and) give them mental healthcare,” said Greg Gurnick with Save Ohlone Park.
Gurnick, who is also a business owner, called the encampment a humanitarian crisis. Gurnick said he is one of more than 400 people who have signed a petition demanding the immediate removal of the encampment.
“It’s extremely important to get this addressed immediately, with urgency because people are suffering right now,” Gurnick said. “People in the park are suffering. The neighbors are stressed. They are afraid to use the park. It is not a safe space.”

Ok, so China has reported 7 deaths from the new variant of Covid 19 called NB 1.81. CDC saying 20 cases in US.
Its not as severe as prior strains, gives you a sore throat, but they say more transmissible.
Health Authorities tracking the situation.
So, what is this going to evolve into? Get your PCR test today for new Covid varient. Maybe two weeks to flatten the curve. Save the vulnerable older people by mass vaccination of the healthy.
Covid strikes again following the new policies laid out by the HHS/FDA in limiting recommendations of Covid vaccine boosters to the over 65 , and the under 65 that have co morbidity diseases. .Vaccines were taken off of children schedule and more test requirements were laid out for the vaccines.
Also, in Jan of 2025 Trump pulled from the World Health Organization , and the US didn’t sign the Panademic Agreement with WHO that 173 Countries did.
The WHO is lead by Dr Tedros, who isn’t even a Dr and is a known communist operative. The WHO is a corrupt international Organization that Bill Gates gives big donations to.
Part of the Panademic agreement was that the Organization would levy taxes or funds from member Countries to fund this Organization.
So, is this going to be Covid 2.0 where a bunch of member Countries lock down , demand masks and mandated vaccines, while the US does it own thing.
Another interesting study that came out in around 2002 was that “flu shots” for elderly increased getting the flu by 26.9 % which can be fatal for a older. So, the theory of mass vaccination for the entire population to protect granny emerged. So in spite of them knowing that flu shots are not very effective for the elderly the HHS/FDA are still recommending the fake Covid vaccines for the over 65. There is the highest compliance rate with booster after Covid booster with the over 65 which is currently around 50% for that age sector.
Some people equate current policies of recommendations
of Covid vaccines/boosters for the over 65 and the unhealthy of all age groups as a genocide program for the weak, sick and vulnerable. There has been major excess mortality in the over 65 group in US from the start of the fake Covid shots.
So, the sicker or older you are the more you are not benefiting from the expiermental MRNA Covid vaccines.
The MRNA vaccines/boosters should be taken of the market entirely for not being fit for human consumption because its a failed expiermental technology that was introduced under emergency use as response to the novel Covid global panademic.
So, with fake news pumping up the new Covid varient threat, and fear mongering that the new HHS/FDA policies
are going to kill a bunch of people, its the same old take the” safe and effective” vaccine, and put MRNA technology in more products.
It doesn’t matter to them that the overwhelming evidence shows that the MRNA vaccines didn’t stop transmission and didn’t give immunity from Covid. They say they saves millions of lives, without having viable proof of that claim.
Its comes out that trials were rigged, and deaths from the vaccinated were distorted by saying the vaccinated were unvaccinated if a month hadn’t gone by from injections.
Anyway, if this current Covid varient becomes the new big global Panademic, I wonder how many people will comply this time and line up for a PCR test or a MRNA vaccine.
The Covid shots aren’t even a vaccine according to some Courts definition. Also Scientist say that getting Covid gives long term immunity from the varient that evolves.
The recent testimony in Senate on May 22, by Ron Johnson , gave compelling Expert testimony by Drs that the MRNA technology should be taken off market, based on the evidence they submitted in record of viable proof
its a vaccine that kills and injures a unacceptable amount of people. Testimony proof of it killing fetuses of pregnant women who took the vaccine was also submitted. It looks like successful births are down by 20% in a number of Western Countries that took the clot shot. And one Dr testified that Covid was a vascular disease rather than a respiratory . So, it brings into question, what was Covid 19 anyway and all the mal practices of the treatment of it.
So, I never got Covid, but I never tested for it either, so maybe I had a case with no symptoms, and I’m older.
I have a friend who took 5 shots , who.has had Covid 5 times now and is dying from heart failure and spouse has already died of typical vaccine adverse affects, of cancer, clots and heart failure.
I can tell you by people I know, they are gaslighting older people in hospitals as to their vaccine damage.
Anyway, so I contend without being a Dr or Scientist, just based on studying anything I could get my hands on for 5 years, that we have been lied to about everything associated with Covid 19.
And, this couldn’t be just error or innocent mistakes but rather a planned operation by enemies. Could be China deliberate release of bio weapon, or it could of been a total fake out, or it could of been poisons dispersed and targeted that mimicked a respiratory attack.
Its interesting how a so called Panademic can last this long because historically Panademics don’t last this long.
And the predictions that new Panademics will comes and be worse than Covid 19 causes me to question how they know that this is going to take place.
So, I don’t care what they say because the Health Authorities have no credibility with me at this juncture and I won’t take their “safe and effective ” vaccines.
And, I am getting pissed at the chem trailing and the evidence its toxic and its making people sick. The prospect of blocking out the life giving Sun and reducing Co2 emissions to zero is also another thing that is insane to me and a big Climate Change fraud.
So, just wondering if we can ever return to normal with assult after assult in so many ways . Trump said he would not mandate vaccines, and he pulled from the WHO, so maybe a protection from forced vaccines for 4 years.
Isn’t it apparent that any solution they come up with to all their “declared emergencies” they are just making up ?
The ideology of “Save the World ” or save lives is trumping
all political ideology and economic theory for One World Order “Sustainable Earth,” That’s their plan and they are sticking to it.
Just saying.
Family found mother’s dead body eaten by dogs at LA homeless encampment. They’re demanding answers
Amely Becerra said she brought flowers for her mother, Lucrecia Macias Barajas, on May 10, the day before Mother’s Day.
Her mother wasn’t home, Becerra said, so she left the flowers and thought they would see each other the next day. But the holiday came and went with no contact from Barajas.
Two days later, Becerra’s sister, Ariana Macias, said she was searching for their mother in the Westlake neighborhood near downtown Los Angeles. A phone tracking app then led her to a homeless encampment, where she said she found her mother’s dead body being eaten by dogs.
The discovery of the 46-year-old mother’s body — and the cause of death — remain under investigation by authorities. The family holds government officials responsible for not clearing problem encampments like the one where Barajas died.
The Barajas family said city officials should do more to clear the encampments before other people go through a similar ordeal.
“It’s getting out of control,” Becerra said. “And to hear that this encampment has been there since forever, it’s like, what’s going on here? Are they allowing this stuff to happen?”
Lucrecia Macias Barajas was an Army veteran and loving mother, said Becerra, the oldest of Barajas’ six children. Barajas was diagnosed with cancer three years ago and suffered from depression, but Becerra said she did everything in her power to support her family.
Becerra’s sister, Ariana Macias, told LAist that their mother cared deeply for other people who were struggling.
Barajas would bring clothes and food to unhoused people even if she didn’t have much money herself, Macias said. The last she heard from her mother she was going to bring food to an unhoused friend. Macias said that’s how she wound up at the encampment in Westlake.
According to the L.A. County medical examiner’s office, the body of a man identified as Fredy Pojoy Sajqui was found near Barajas in a tent on the sidewalk.
Macias said the man was her mother’s friend, who she knew as “Pablo.” The examiner’s office said they have completed their examination, but are requesting additional testing. They said it could take months to learn the cause of death for both people.
Becerra told LAist that residents near the encampment where her mother was found had been complaining about the site for almost a decade, saying it was unsafe and home to drug dealers.

“she found her mother’s dead body being eaten by dogs.”
That has to be one of the worst kind of discoveries to make.
Wonder why she didn’t seek-out mom sooner, and provide her a better standard of living?
Wonder why she didn’t seek-out mom sooner, and provide her a better standard of living?
Exactly. Why wasn’t Mom living with one of them?
Because Mom wasn’t 80 with dementia. She was 46 — plenty healthy — and she was gone for like one day.
plenty healthy
No indication of that. She was dead after all.
Mansion Tax Hits Another Roadblock. Key Funding and Legal Challenges Overlooked
LOS ANGELES – In November 2022, voters passed Measure ULA, the so-called “Mansion Tax” – a 5% transfer tax on the sale of all real property over $5 million. As pointed out in our earlier reporting, the impact of this tax on the production and sales of housing in Los Angeles (including new multi-family rental housing) has been catastrophic, leading to an equally disastrous decline in property tax revenues.
Properties over $5 million may only account for 4% of sales, but they generate over 40% of property tax revenue, and as a recent study from UCLA’s Lewis Center discovered points out, “Since Measure ULA was enacted, the odds of a Los Angeles property selling at a price above its tax threshold have fallen by as much as 50%.”
Keith Fromm, an attorney representing the plaintiffs in a current legal case against ULA, compiled a list of nine such provisions of ULA that impede conventional mortgage financing into a memo obtained by the Current. These provisions also include mandates for using publicly owned land which encumber title to the properties, and permanent, mandatory labor agreements for larger projects (40 or more units), which inflate construction costs.
He told us that he was motivated to compile the list after he’d spoken to people in the industry who told him “the reality of the situation was that none of these projects could get financed through conventional means because of the very restrictive requirements in the ULA.”
The City has repeatedly blamed its lack of expenditures of ULA money collected over the past two years on the ongoing lawsuit against ULA. But Fromm believes the real reason they’ve allocated just $56 million of the $660 million thus far collected toward helping to fund affordable housing projects is that “When people try to do these projects, they couldn’t get any financing for it.”

Get ready to be burned with even higher California homeowner insurance rates
Ricardo Lara’s political career is likely toast. It’s because Lara finally acted like a grown-up recently.
As California’s Insurance Commissioner, Lara granted State Farm the ability to raise rates on a temporary emergency basis starting June 1.
His action translates into an average hike for State Farm’s California policyholders: • 17 percent for homeowners; • 15 percent for renters and condo owners; • 38 percent for rental dwellings.
This is on top of any rate increase this year State Farm’s insured were slapped with when their policies were renewed or will be renewed.
State Farm is the proverbial canary in the coal mine or, in this case, the bird unable to flee the deadly flames and smoke of California wildfires.
State Farm is dealing with a staggering $7 billion in claims from the Los Angeles wildfires that destroyed or damaged more than 12,000 homes, businesses, schools, and other structures in January.
Lara, knowing full well making such a decision could end his political career, dodged making the final decision on State Farm’s request until he received the opinion of an administrative law judge who reviewed the insurance company’s request for the emergency rate hike.
Lara’s decision in December to spread the pain to prevent insurance firms from pulling out of the dicey California insurance growth is the direct result of the aforementioned.
It also has a lot to do with artificial manipulation of rates by the state from decades of Sacramento politicians engaging in can kicking when it comes to a host of concerns that create increased wildfire risks and higher housing costs.
Politicians have — and likely will continue to do so — put the blame 100 percent on climate change, manmade or otherwise, and the “big bad insurance companies.” Building homes in flood plains, urbanizing wildfire areas and such are not due to greenhouse emissions. It’s the direct result of land use zoning and policies put in place following the dictates of Sacramento.
As for the insurance companies, they do not have a printing press to churn out money like the federal government. Their losses can’t continue to outpace income. And if they don’t make a reasonable profit along the way, there is no reason why they should risk underwriting insurance in any state that artificially manipulates rates.

Emanuel-‘Dem Party Weak and Woke’ Amid Rumors Rahm wants White House
Rahm Emanuel, an ex-Obama White House chief of staff and former Chicago mayor, said in a Wall Street Journal interview published Monday that the Democratic Party’s brand is “weak and woke.”
Emanuel also told the WSJ that he believes the Democratic Party’s brand is “toxic.” The interview comes amid increasing speculation that Emanuel could be a potential candidate in the party’s 2028 presidential primary, which is likely to be crowded.
“I’m tired of sitting in the back seat when somebody’s gunning it at 90 miles an hour for a cliff,” Emanuel told the WSJ.
“If you want the country to give you the keys to the car, somebody’s got to be articulating an agenda that’s fighting for America, not just fighting Trump,” Emanuel told the outlet. “The American dream has become unaffordable. It’s inaccessible. And that has to be unacceptable to us.”
https://patch.com/florida/lakeland/emanuel-dem-party-weak-woke-amid-rumors-rahm-wants-white-house
“The American dream has become unaffordable. It’s inaccessible. And that has to be unacceptable to us.”
Illegal alien gang bangers and perverts are the two hills the Dems have chosen to die on.
There’s been talk of Rahm on 2way, a political YT channel run by journalist Mark Halperin. They’re saying that Rahm has an amazing capacity to raise money.
I’m skeptical. To me, Rahm is a washed-up Obama aide that nobody under the age of 45 has heard of. Mayor of Chicago is a mark against him, not for him. Good luck with tacking to the middle — he’ll never get past the wokies in the primaries. Plus, he’s 5’7″, and ((())) too. Those are not bad things, but it’s not going to bring in votes no matter how much money he thinks he can bring in.
“Plus, he’s 5’7″…”
LOL. I’m a big guy, not a weight lifter build, but very athletic. I’m amazed how frequently petite women cozy up to me.
I took my wife to a doctor visit in Wenatchee a couple of days ago, and it was blazing hot, not a cloud in the sky. Ruby and I found the best shade tree outside the office. A slender women, a doctor in fact, stepped outside and stood in the sun looking at us in the shade, when I said, relax, I’m still dating my wife. I motioned with a nod to come on over. She did, and opened up an easy conversation.
The inventory’s been crawling up for quite some time, but I wouldn’t say we’re at any kind of alarming level, and we’ve actually started to see it level off over the last three or four weeks,’ she said.
Realtors are liars.
Ok, so isn’t it interesting that Bill Gates is involved with vaccination of the globe that he makes a lot of money from.
Bill Gates is also involved with chem trailing, release of
mosquitos, sucking up co2 emissions, blocking out the Sun, and the eat bugs and fake food. He is the biggest buyer of US farmland.
He was rolled out during Covid acting like a Czar of public health.
So, he’s not a Dr or a climate change Expert either, but he co partners with governments on programs of response to various emergencies declared.
So, Bill Gates just accused Musk of killing people by any defunding of the tax payers funding of NGOs and the trillions of waste and fraud.
So, why should extremely wealthy like Rockefeller and Gates get to form so called Charity foundations, and than have power to dictate public policy or government programs and partner in government programs.
We all know that Rockefeller set up modern medicine petroleum chemical based Big Pharmacy. And there was
elimination of any competition from other practices like nutrition, and the whole gamut of other types of health practices.
This influence by Fat Cats in government policies isn’t the democracy process of people voting for what they want.
So, if I had billions of dollars and formed a Foundation, or a non government organization I could influence what Government does and the peoples vote doesn’t matter.
Its interesting how Rockefeller Father was a con artist snake oil salesman, who even faked he was a Doctor. So, from this background comes Rockefeller the big Monopolist , richest man in US at the time, establishing
the Modern day Medical system.
So, I think it defies the way US government is suppose to work . Its Government partnerships with Monopolies, Rich Elite , NGOs, etc ,and the people aren’t dictating policy.
They call it a Oligarchy, but its also facism.
If bought off Government is captive to doing the bidding of these Entities, than we has loss government for the people.
The perverse money profit motive and rise of undue influence by Monopolies, Rich Elites like Bill Gates and other Entities in collusion is destroying the US .
Why should a guy like Soros get his open borders ideology.
Why should the WEF dictate the Great Reset , Stakeholder capitalism and the 2030 Sustainable Earth Agenda.
Why should we have Fake News that’s bought by Corporate US, especially Big Pharmacy buying about 75%.
Why should free speech be censored or any dispute to Fake News.
How can people make good decisions when they get fake all the time, and are censored from facts or dispute they need to know?
A new law needs to be made that news can’t be faked and they are liable for fake news. Otherwise undue influence by fake or fraud could be a weapon of mass destruction .
It’s still all screwed up with DC government not doing what’s required to get us out of this illegitimate government. If they don’t, than the people will have no choice but to bring about legitimate government by the means necessary.
Bill Gates is also involved with chem trailing
If Bill is injecting the Secret Sauce into Jet fuel to poison the world, what’s in it and how does he deliver it without anyone noticing?
So, apparently Biden extended the Prep Act to 2029 by Auto pen Executive Order , which gives the government a bunch of rights to override Constitutional protection in the interest of National Security and emergency threats.
The Prep Act was a Bill that came out of 911. Congress/Senate could repeal the Bill . The Government can do almost anything under the provisions of that ACT, that is unconstitutional in so many provisions. They can chem trail, they can conduct surveillance, counter measures, and anything they declare necessary to combat whatever they want to combat.
Just saying
Stop your nonsense. Here is the snippet from ChatGPT:
—————-
Under the PREP Act (42 U.S.C. § 247d-6d and § 247d-6e), the HHS Secretary has the exclusive authority to:
Issue a declaration
Amend it (to change scope, duration, covered countermeasures, or covered persons)
Extend or terminate it
No other federal official, agency, or branch of government can independently amend a PREP Act declaration.
———–
So, Biden didn’t extend the current PREP declaration: Becerra must have done it. And Bobby can amend it to change the duration (i.e. terminate it) whenever he wants.
Ok, so why did a Congress member recently introduce a Bill to repeal the Prep Act if Congress/Senate has no power to repeal?
So your using AI to dispute sources that I have read in the last month or so.
I don’t dispute that the Head of HHS can repeal or change Prep Act , and would like Kennedy to do it.
You are confusing a LAW with a DECLARATION.
The PREP Act LAW is an Act Congress that allows the Secretary of HHS to issue a Prep Act DECLARATION. It’s this declaration that gives the government has “chemtrail powers,” if you will. Each declaration is a separate event with a specified duration. Individual declarations come and go, but the law which allows these declarations is permanent (until repealed by Congress).
You wrote that “Biden extended the Prep Act until 2029,” which is what threw me off. What you wrote is incorrect. Presidents do not extend laws. So I assumed you were converying Biden had extended a Prep Act Declaration in the last days of his Presidency. That is also incorrect, since only the Secretary of HHS can do that. So, it’s possible that Xavier Becerra, Biden’s secretary of HHS, extended an existing declaration to allow chemtrail powers. But even if Becerra had extended a declaration, Bobby Kennedy Jr, the new secretary of HHS, can revoke it. So don’t worry, Biden can’t sprinkle us with chemtrails anymore.
Meanwhile, a member of Congress wants to repeal the Prep Act for good. Yes, that’s legit. If the law is repealed, then there’s no power to make any declarations at all.
So your AI is saying that the Prep Act passed by Congress/Senate and signed by George Bush in 2005 cannot be repealed or change by the same body that enacted this. And that in May of 2025 a Bill was introduced by a Congress Member to Repeal the PREP ACT was just a illegal act because only HHS Head can do anything in regards to this ACT.
And in spite of reports that Biden extended provisions until 2029, that is just false fake news because AI knows the truth?
Oxie,…..Ok, I will grant you that articles said Biden extended the Prep Act provisions to 2029, but it was his HHS head under his administration.
But your AI saying Congress/Senate can’t repeal or terminate PREP ACT or any aspects of Act is my major dispute . They got Petitions right now to urge Congress/Senate to Repeal the Prep Act, or portions of.
I believe the AI was right. Congress cannot change or revoke any existing Prep Act Declaration directly. Only the HHS Secretary can change a Declaration. However, Congress CAN revoke a Declaration, indirectly, simply by revoking the entire law. It’s a sticky point, admittedly.

ICE Arrests Honduran Rapist Repeatedly Released in Maryland Sanctuary County
by Dan Lyman
May 29th, 2025 1:48 PM
On Tuesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) published information about the apprehension of Yonatan Flores-Arce, a 20-year-old citizen of Honduras.
Flores-Arce was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) in March of 2019 in El Paso, TX.
He was served with a notice to appear before a federal immigration judge and set free.
“The Howard County Police Department arrested and charged Flores with second-degree rape Oct.17, 2024. The Circuit Court for Howard County convicted Flores April 29 and sentenced him to 15 years of confinement and five years of supervised probation,” ICE explained in a press release.
Incredibly, Flores-Arce was released from custody on May 5, despite ICE having lodged a detainer against the Honduran.
Just three days later, Flores-Arce was arrested again and charged with violation of probation.
Howard County officials again released the Honduran on May 22, but federal agents waiting outside the detention center quickly arrested Flores-Arce as he walked out.
“The decision by Howard County Detention Center to ignore our immigration detainer and release a removable individual with an egregious criminal history undermines public safety and put Maryland communities at risk,” said ICE Baltimore acting Field Office Director Nikita Baker.
“This failure is not an isolated incident, but part of a concerning pattern we see all too often. ICE Baltimore remains committed to prioritizing public safety. Working together with local jurisdictions is the only way to keep our neighborhoods safe and uphold the rule of law.”
Howard County has been identified as a sanctuary jurisdiction by the Center for Immigration

Oxie, , Ok so we agree to disagree on Congress/Senate ability to repeal in part or whole the PREP ACT, that would cancel a Declaration made, or extending of emergency powers.
