If Harris is able to give away $25k of printed or borrowed money for people that can not repay the mortgage. It will eventually lead to another real estate collapse.

Just as Biden is currently doing. She will ignore the Supreme Court and forgive college loans and give mortgage loans to unqualified people.

If you have more real estate than necessary. As soon as she is elected it may be a good time to sell real estate. Then when it craters. A good time to buy.

When Barney Frank badgered Bill Clinton into a similar idea that Harris is pushing. It did take more than one 4 year term to show the damage. Lenders were able to fend off the impending collapse by bundling the loans as junk. But the inevitable happened almost 8-10 yrs later. Dems have tried to rewrite history and blame the lenders. The federal government forced lenders to loan Money to people they knew coild never pay it back.

Hey, Barney Frank: The Government Did Cause the Housing Crisis

On December 9, The Atlantic published online an interview with Congressman Barney Frank. In it, he called me a “real extremist.” This name-calling was not only false but also inappropriate to the seriousness of the issue — which is whether government housing policy, and not the banks or the...

yep but then the Gov will step in and bail out the banks and loan companies again ,like they do, how long can this stuff go on.

He’s a narcissist that’s why. He always was and always will be. A lot of Republicans voting for him are holding their nose. I’ve never seen a candidate who was not endorsed by some of his party members, ex secretaries and his vice president in my lifetime before.

That maybe ,inconsequential to me, like JOHN WASMUTH said what Politian isn't. more so consider Generals Mccarthur ,Eisenhower, Patton, Admiral Nimitz, LAWRENCE LIVINGSTON, all men who rose to the occasion because they had enough self worth to motivate themselves and dominate the task and opposition and grab victory from the jaws of defeat. Thank God such men lived and bore the burden of criticism and opposition or we would not still be a free country. great leaders are not made they are born, training just polishes what is already there, given by God.

Many of you disagreed with my comments regarding Ukraine.
I believe that the USA wanted and initiated the war. Then Russia escalated it. As planned and hoped for.
I don't believe that the killing will stop until we get the Biden-Harris regime out of office. The dems got rid of Joe for us. But we need to step up. Vote The Cackler out. If she was gonna stop the wars she would have. Didn't even try. Will Trump stop them? I don't know. But he DID open dialogue with Putin and Kim Jong Un. That's a start.
My opinions are not those of the majority, But I am far from alone. Some very great people believe as I do. All of my comments are easily verifiable. Look if you like. Or not. There's a lot going on now.
Thanks for the comments. Even the rants. Taking time to read, and maybe think, is never wasted..........stay free..............FWB

“Our own demise”, as you put it, started way before Obama with the indoctrination of the youth in public education system.

We did not came to this in 10-12 years, it started long before Obama.
We rank worst in education among developed countries and yes it'll be our demise and we're already on a one way street.
It's a lot easier to gaslight uneducated masses and politicians love it.

Vladimir Putin would be among those who heartily agrees with you. I do not, and I am hardly alone. A resurgent Russia allied with China represents a threat to our national interests that we will not have faced for nearly forty years. It boggles my mind that anyone can't comprehend something so obvious, and a national interest so compelling.

And sadly they all vote.

And that is why we need to reform the immigration system so that the higher educated folks that wish to come here can do so. Already, the majority of PhD candidates in universities are foreigners and we need to make it easy for them to stay here and work and build a life.

A sad anecdote from years past. When Amazon released the first Kindle, I was at a client's water treatment plant. I was giddy with joy and was literally jumping up and down as I was able to grab one before they were all sold out. The local superintendent was puzzled about my excitement, asked me why it was a big deal. I replied that I would not have to carry about ten pounds of books when I traveled. I then asked how many books he had read in the past year. His response was that he had started one, but he had a family so didn't have the time to continue.

Didn’t we have the highest ranked public schools in the world before Carter created the federal board of education back in 1979?

I could offer a similar story about the arrival of digital text. I normally read two or three at a time - one by the bed - usually antiquarian, one on my iPad - usually history or international relations (currently Issac’s Storm), and a novel of some sort. I have never counted, but I easily complete a hundred a year.

At no point have I ever defended our trade policy with respect to China any more than I ever defended Europe's dependency upon Russian natural gas.

Oh, so legal, regulated immigration can become a form of eugenics? So who determines the metrics for the potential for good citizenship and how does one develop that skill? … What a load of crap!

I'm not sure, but it took a deeper dive after Bush's "no child left behind"

So we have a plummeting birth rate which means that the current, and more worriedly, future workforce can't support our largely non-contributing aging population like you and me. And somehow a merit based immigration system rather than open borders is a "load of crap."

We may indeed very well be beyond help.

The left is playing it a bit differently...

Joe Rogan Won’t Leave His House to Interview Kamala Harris

The perils of having a home-studio empire.

It has become clear that Harris cannot hold a coherent conversation for 3 hours. Otherwise, she would have went on his show. This is an obvious dodge by an incompetent candidate.

For those betting on the election using certain investing and betting sites. Be aware. To win. Your pick must be certified by Congress to get your money.

If something happens to your candidate between Election Day and the Certification in January the house keeps your money. A lot can happen in the 2 months after someone is elected.

Is this an assumption of Trump actually being assassinated? It seems like Dems can’t hit the proverbial broadside of a barn.

 

[DillonG]

Not sure entirely what if any conclusions can be drawn from this, but Gallup released its turn-out model. If accurate, then some of the really coinflip races could easily end up democrat at the end. Note republicans had the advantage in 2016 and democrats in 20. In fact, the gap, fully 10%, would be slightly larger this year.

If accurate, and if there is an effect this cycle, one possible conclusion is that the anti-Trump message is still very powerful (perhaps abetted by the abortion issue). and secondly, perhaps Trump and his base should not have been so quick to run off traditional republicans and Harris supporters.

I have a very skeptical view of polls and charts. They have been hilariously inaccurate in the last 7 years.
