Trade: The #Colts are sending eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the #Seahawks, per @AdamSchefter and me.

Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency. A Colts legend goes to the champs.

Trade: Colts have agreed to send eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per me and @rapsheet. Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts are opting to get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency.

But an all-time Colt now moves on to the Seahawks.

[Seattle Seahawks @Seahawks]

Primetime ready.

APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE TO ANY TENANTS READING THIS, BUT I’M NOT STAYING QUIET.

I’ve housed you for four years at $1,750 a month. You’ve never been late. You’ve never trashed it. You’ve been a solid tenant. Then I sent the renewal: rent’s going up $275.

YES.

You’ve paid me almost $84,000 over four years. That money covered the mortgage (which I’m still on the hook for if anything goes wrong), property taxes that keep rising, insurance premiums that have jumped hard, maintenance and repairs that cost more every year, and all the other costs of keeping the place habitable and legal.

The equity and any portfolio growth come from the capital I put in, the risk I took, and the fact that I own the asset, not from the rent check itself.

You’re the one writing the check every month for the right to live there. At the end of it, you own nothing because you didn’t buy it, finance it, or take on the ownership risks. I did. If the roof fails, the HVAC dies, a pipe bursts, taxes go up again, insurance spikes, or you leave and it sits vacant, that’s on me.

A $275 increase isn’t “because the market lets me.” It’s because the costs of providing the housing have gone up, insurance, taxes, labor, materials, compliance.

Recent data shows typical homeowners paying ~$1,380 a month just in maintenance, taxes, and insurance on top of the mortgage, with insurance up sharply over the last several years.

Apartment owners have been keeping only about 11 cents of every rent dollar after debt service, operations, taxes, and the rest.

Expenses have often risen faster than rents.

Stop treating landlords like a free housing subscription that never has rising costs. The rent pays for the use of the property and the service of ownership. The equity belongs to the person who bought it and bears the risk.

If you want a version where some of the money eventually becomes yours, buy your own home.

[Chris Kelley @Multumesc25]

Somebody had to say it. Unfortunately, elections pit the majority (the tenants) against the minority (the property owners). Once they divide and hold “free elections”, it becomes unreasonable to be a landlord. The electorate raises the costs and then complains about the rent.

@greta @FBIDirectorKash This seems like bad advice from your publicist and is beneath you.

[Rep. Anna Paulina Luna @RepLuna]

Look at the Senators and Members of Congress that are currently attacking @Starlink regarding Ukraine. None of these elected officials have engaged in PEACE talks. Now look at who is donating to their campaign and check out their stock portfolios. There is a reason why they want the war to continue. The UNITED STATES HAS SENT BILLIONS TO UKRAINE. 25,000 HUMANS are DYING a month due to the war. We MUST lead the negations to end the war. STARLINK is NOT responsible for the FAILED foreign policy of the previous administration or CONGRESS. There was only ONE Democrat to date, in the entire House of Represenatives that was WILLING to engage in peace talks. END THE WAR!

🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 8: THE COMPLICIT FEDERAL WORKERS 🚨

In Drop 7, we saw Paul Zeitz type during a Zoom call:

"We are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations - but please do not put that on the form."

Excuse me? Actively blocking the federal government during an "emergency situation?"

And how are federal workers involved with Renew American Democracy (RAD), a group whose primary mission is to a fundamental rewrite of our Constitution?

Turns out, a certain federal workers alliance, FWAD, is working closely with RAD on their goal to rewrite America.

FWAD is the Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy, formerly known as "Federal Workers Against DOGE."

RAD's published strategy lists FWAD among its endorsers. But FWAD isn't just an endorser. It is a founding partner of the Nationwide Deliberation Campaign (NDC). The goal is "a national People's Proposal of structural reforms" - which, in RAD's other videos and strategy documents, is planned to occur just after the federal government has been declared illegitimate. In a nutshell: with no federal government, a representative (read: DEI) panel of citizens will be assembled, their input collated and stitched into a new constitution for the Fourth Founding.

But that is not the only path for restructuring. A concept note also proposes "Constitutional amendments," with "state ratification strategies." Either way, all evidence points to that the NGOs in the Block lane know their goal is to rewrite American governance.

All the receipts are in this video. 👇

Note: two current federal workers were in the files. As they are not public figures, I withheld these names. I gave them over to contacts in their agencies instead.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

If you are like me, you probably are wondering why Trump and the GOP members of Congress have been mostly silent over the uncovering of the Color Revolution plot.

I have some theories.

~1,300 words, please read if so inclined.

P.S., some of the hyperlinks have Easter eggs, have fun. (Don't worry, none of the links go to virus-ridden "Buy Ukrainian brides with crypto" sites.)

[Brandi Kruse @BrandiKruse]

There is no legal basis the @ThornsFC could possibly point to for our removal (from a publicly owned and taxpayer funded property, no less).

-The Thorns allow all sorts of political signage, even violent signage and chants.
-I stood and cheered for the Thorns the entire time (as the section requires)
-Unlike the other fans, we didn't attack anyone. We were the ones attacked.
-We wore our shirts proudly and cheerfully
-We kept cheering for the team, even under assault

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

Dems placing a second Dan Sullivan on the ballot in Alaska (a fake candidate designed to conceal who is the actual US Senator running for re-election) is one of the most egregious attacks we have seen on the integrity of American elections. It reveals pure contempt for voters.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Correct.

Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.

Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.

Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.

Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.

Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.

SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.

That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.

End of story.

[Chris Kelley @Multumesc25]

@elonmusk I have Starlink. I’m pretty sure I signed the terms and conditions—I didn’t read the whole thing, but I’m pretty sure it says you can’t use it to kill people. Seems like a reasonable clause.
