@mazemoore AOC is just an actor.
It’s her puppet masters that are the problem.
She is spouting insane lies that are disprovable by a Google search, but a lot of people will believe her.
🚨 HOLY CRAP: Stephen Miller did NOT hold back on exposing Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett for caving to Radical Democrats who steal Elections
THE SAVE AMERICA ACT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO PASS NOW
GET LOUD MAGA
We were warned about enemies foreign and domestic for a reason.
We are living it right now. The attack is coming from within and half of our country is standing and applauding.
Democrat Senator John Fetterman says he has not seen Donald Trump cause a Constitution crisis, but Fetterman says that when he heard Zohran Mamdani say he would defy the Supreme Court on the temporary protected status of Haitians, “That’s a Constitutional crisis”
“That's a constitutional crisis, when you have the leader of the country's largest city, then we're not going to follow or honor what the Supreme Court says”
Senator John Fetterman even says the other Democrats are talking behind closed doors pushing to defy the Supreme Court
Yes, this is a Constitutional Crisis and it’s one we’re seen before, Joe Biden would also defy the Supreme Court
Democrats do blatantly illegal things and never get held accountable so they keep getting more and more bold
After the tremendously terrible SCOTUS ruling on late ballots, Justice Alito WARNS that there are now “open opportunities” for fraud.
This is why we need the SAVE America Act.
Scott Presler's SCORCHED EARTH Message to John Thune For BANNING Him from the GOP Convention and BETRAYING the MAGA Base:
"Dear Sen. Majority Leader Thune,
There is no greater demoralization to the base than for us to have all three branches of government, and for us to have majorities, and to not pass the very legislation after what we saw in the 2020 election, to make sure tragedies like that never happen again.
And if you campaign on closing the border and securing our elections, and stopping wars, and deportations, and you don't deliver — how can we expect to keep those majorities in the 2026 elections and beyond if you don't deliver?"
Imagine your family worked for a generation to save enough money to buy a brownstone occupied with rent stabilized tenants on the Upper West Side. The family financed the purchase with a mortgage from a bank based on the premise that rents and cash flow would at least keep pace with inflation so you could pay interest and principal on the mortgage and hopefully have some cash flow left as a return on your investment.
While you had rent stabilized tenants, you were led to believe that the NYC Rent Guidelines Board would be required to adjudicate rental increases each year by taking a measure of the inflation of costs to own and operate a building and setting rental increases appropriately.
You believed the RGB would do its job as the board is comprised of two representatives each for landlords and tenants and five independent representatives that represent the general public.
Now, a new mayor @NYCMayor Mamdani is elected on the promise of freezing rents. There are about two million rent stabilized renters that benefit if rents are frozen so by promising frozen rents the new candidate for mayor buys votes and wins the election.
The new mayor achieves his objective by stacking the RGB with directors who do not follow their obligations and simply vote for a rent freeze as a preordained conclusion as evidenced by the statements of an RGB director who resigned in protest for this very reason.
Meanwhile, inflation in NYC is rampant in utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, etc. and now your rents are frozen. Real estate is a high operating leverage business which means that frozen rents and inflating expenses will cause property cash flows to plummet and your after debt service cash flow to go negative.
I expect therefore there will be hundreds if not thousands of small NYC property owners who are now or will shortly be underwater on their mortgages, and without any cash flow to maintain their assets.
If you remember the images of the South Bronx burning in the mid 1970s, you can viscerally understand what is happening to small NYC real estate owners.
While the rent freeze appears to be short-term good news (long term it will lead to poorly maintained apartments) for 2 million NYC renters, it is bad news for the 2 million or more renters in the 1 million market rate apartments in the City because a landlord-hostile market is not likely to add meaningfully more supply and market rents will likely continue to escalate at a high rate.
All of this seems quite unfair and wrong unless I missing something?
Why am I wrong?
For disclosure: I do not own any NYC rental apartments.
Skills that have nothing to do with money but are worth dedicating an immense amount of practice to:
- Charisma
- Metacognition
- Critical thinking
- Sitting with discomfort
- Articulating what you believe and why
- Changing your beliefs when presented with new information
Almost nobody actually practices these and it shows.
Last week, a Muslim woman entered our family ranch store and asked for Halal beef. When I told her we do not offer it, she demanded to know why not. As she turned to leave, I extended my hand in a simple gesture of goodwill—only for her to refuse it outright. The same person who expects us to accommodate her faith’s ritualistic slaughter of our livestock—complete with specific blessings and throat-cutting methods—could not bring herself to touch a Christian man’s hand. It was a stark reminder that some demands for tolerance flow only in one direction: ours.
Not only is Nithya Raman hated in her district for abysmal leadership, but she's THE reason drug zombies run rampant throughout LA. Raman spent the last 3 years as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee. Only question is...is she a failure, or is the chaos deliberate?
Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre.
The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.
If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.
Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.
If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.
The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits.
There is just less competition for bigger goals.
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
