    President Trump

    The 401(k) question was neatly addressed by Hugh Hewitt. Step 1 - Allow all 401(k) holders to convert - at a fixed one time penalty free tax rate - their plan to a Roth. Step 2 - Adjust Roth plans to allow for unlimited contribution limits and tax free withdrawals. Step 3 - The "One Time" tax...

    Get Your Real Estate Settlement Payout

    Odd. I had a check the size of a credit card mailed to me for the same settlement.... Paid for 3 Venti Mochas.

    Ovata and lily

    I couldn't see within my limited title report access who the buyer is, but if it's a easy to track name, you can find out if there are any connections to the builder. All builders will hold back a few units to sell only to VP/Area Manager and above employees who yes, will flip these out for profit.

    Worlds Luckiest Flipper

    Wow.... Bought in May 2024 for about $66,000 when Pope Leo was just a Cardinal. Wonder what the eventual Papal Price Premium will end up being. https://www.fastcompany.com/91326862/you-can-buy-the-new-popes-childhood-home-for-199000

    "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war".

    Hmm.... Which was a better way to begin 2025 investing? 100% in S&P now down 3% YTD, or 100% in Ferrari (Symbol RACE) which is up 13.8% YTD... quite a ponder.

    Corte Bella- Westpark

    Most of the 1575 SF is the staircases and landings. These are extraordinarily tight properties. Tour it with the dimensions of a queen sized bed in hand. You can't fit a "real" bed in most of those rooms. Bring along 25lbs of groceries/books/etc to see what trudging up the stairs is like...

    President Trump

    All we need now is for The Orange Cyclone to pull off a President Andrew Jackson impersonation and start duling his opponents.* Pistols at dawn you scoundrel!!! * Yes, it's a bait post.

    President Trump

    From Newsweek: (hardly a Trump friendly rag) ..."clearly violate this court's order," if the reports provided by migrants' lawyers are accurate..." The suit filing proves nothing. The lawyers seem to be lawyering AKA conflating the facts. Time will tell.

    President Trump

    If you're Saudi, you'll go to Saudi. If you're X you got to X, not Y or Z. Some people want to believe Trump wants to deport U.S. Citizens. He also said he'd like to be Pope. He said he wants to reopen Alcatraz. He may say he's invading Greenland. If people wish to believe every trolling moment...

    President Trump

    If you deep dive the article - available here - https://www.newsweek.com/trump-voting-parents-betrayed-son-detained-ice-2068435 - you find that he broke the law in 2020 ("Infliction of injury"). This could be a euphemism for domestic violence, but who knows. It was however enough to require 3...

    President Trump

    True, in that today A.I. cannot do what humans can. Most A.I. has unlimited knowledge, but the reasoning ability of a 6 year old. The thing is, kids grow up and mature...fast. There will always be the need for 10% of good workers, perhaps the "80/20 rule" will play our as our best case...

    President Trump

    True. Good coders will be part of the surviving 10%, but look around your office today. Imagine all but 10 or so remaining co-workers will be left in the room. Like the dinosaurs wondering why that light in the sky was growing brighter every day, those in IT who can't recognize the inevitability...

    President Trump

    With A.I. expected to take 90+ percent of all "learn to code" jobs by 2026, what's left for American workers? Not "white collar" jobs - also a target for A.I. - leaving only manufacturing and manual labor. IUSD needs to ramp up its Shop Class curriculum as does UCI if they want to keep...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    The Coyote Canyon landfill (Newport Beach) has a similar set up - renewable gas generation to sell off the methane (etc) though SoCal Gas lines. Hasn't impacted Newport Coast or other surrounding homesite property values. Those NPB and Irvine homes next to Coyote Canyon Landfill are even closer...

    President Trump

    Blindly accept our side, said out of love, isn't accepting of fact. You are correct, that both sides of this question are firmly entrenched, but it can still be rationally discussed. As a note I've not included queer or lgb+ in any discussion about mental illness. These are separate questions...

    President Trump

    Think of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. A man is gravely injured. Two men pass by and do nothing. The Samaritan gets the injured man genuine help. Does anyone believe acknowledging and accepting injured persons condition is better than giving honest, real help? To be clear, offering "help"...

    President Trump

    Hermaphrodites are natural issues - people who are born that way. Transsexuals base their gender on how they feel, not their physical make up, which they try to suppress through drugs and surgery. Their starting point - feelings - are emotions which are founded mental issues. Are there mental...

    ICE or EV?

    There are plenty of people on the left doing the same "Nazi Salute" gesture. Does so.eone suffering from TDR care? Of course not. The AfD a "far right" political party? The one that's led by a female lesbian married to a non German female... That AfD? Please. Meanwhile, anyone wanting a...
