Same Federal Authoritarianism on display in 1992 forward. This may be new to many of you, dear reader, but it's not new. Since ICE is simply doing their job in a lawful manner, what exactly are we complaining about? Given that these recent round ups were a host of child molesters, repeat...

The writer used unnamed sources and "officials" (dog catchers? food inspectors?) to "verify" the actions listed above. The claims are suspect at best. I was told by a person in LA. "ICE went into a high school graduation ceremony and arrested people!!!" Which is simply a fable - one that is...

B isn't an Oxymoron. Many people believe that if this was primarily a white lead protest (not "white nationalist", but the crowd being primarily white) that the heavy hand of law enforcement would offer a lighter touch - a double standard compared to version A. Deportations are handled by ICE...

The narratives are: A) The rioters are Mexicans/Illegals/minorities since it's DTLA, Compton, and Paramount burning. And B) If these were white folks it would be considered an insurrection with "get outta jail cards" handed out. Neither thoughtlines are true. I know what is true: the US...

I can assure you based on family at these riots: whitey was well represented all through the rock throwing crowd.

@Liar Loan Is that $140k for 12 months, 10+ summer school, or 10 months only?

A great deal of commerce and communication are both highly dependent on the use of satellites. Imagine the havoc if some of our GPS satellites went offline in a solar storm. The world is as dependent on satellites as it is on a functioning internet. (No, I'm not talking about Starlink, just...

I'm guessing the DOGE cuts were planned as an offset to the BBB increases. DOGE cuts can still reach $1T if everything is implemented, but these nationwide injunctions have to wind their way to SCOTUS first. The Coppertone Caligula and Musk each have each other by the short and curly's here...

General Lyon passed away several years ago. Their inheritors likely just want to cash out. I'd offer $90m, then immediately sell the buildable 60 acre parcel off for $60m to Toll Bros making my net cost to buy $30m, a reasonable price for the remaining homes and site.

Who will the buyer be? My guess is a developer, given that a portion of the estate can be built out. Final price? $100m The Ziggurat in Laguna Niguel (80+ acres, but with a huge office building to demolish) went for $77m...

Do you believe the Party is aware of the funds needed to make this purchase, and how they were moved off shore? (I believe they do, but really don't care)

3/4 of the photos are of the outside. Christmas decorations on the fireplace and possibly also on the front door. You get all this service for the low, low commission cost of $250,000-$300,000 - if it sells at full price. Lazy agent. Lazy broker. A shame these actors are still allowed to work...

Only morons or money launderers pay full price on these high dollar homes.

Figure 6.5 to start, 25% down, then -.375 to -.50 depending upon relationship discounts, new cash to bank, and auto pay. A 10/1 or 7/1 starts around 6 and is a better way forward. A buyer isn't going to keep an ARM forever so why not start off at a better rate?

Asking to ask as I am truly curious... What are some of the "many reasons" money is being parked?
