Comment on Housing Market Slow to Hit Its Spring Stride

While Donald Trump plots to be a dictator on Day One, Balaji Srinivasan and his wealthy tech bros are plotting a different version of authoritarianism and ethnic cleansing, one that does not require a presidential campaign. Gil Duran wrote about this oligarch for The New Republic: To fully grasp the current situation in San Francisco, where venture capitalists are trying to take control of City Hall, you must listen to Balaji Srinivasan.

We've already established here that Trump lawyer Alina Habba is trash And Habba has established that she's ridiculously stupid, too. Habba was asked in a relatively recent interview whether she would rather be pretty or smart. She said, "Oh easy, pretty … I can fake being smart." That's not true at all.

As the gentle reader is aware, abortion is a very hot topic that the Republicans are failing miserably on, and Senator Ron Johnson did them no favors on that matter. Earlier this week, Vice President Kamala Harris once again visited Wisconsin. During her visit, she announced the White House's new policy about staffing in nursing homes and talked about reproductive health care.

Mail order candidate and California banker Eric Hovde really doesn't like the elderly. He already said that people in nursing homes are at death's door and are in no condition to vote. But now, it's being reported that Hovde's bank is being sued for elder abuse, neglect and wrongful death regarding a nursing home his bank owns: In 2021, Sunwest Bank seized the property of a 68-bed assisted living facility in Claremont, Calif., after its owners failed to repay a $6 million loan.

Fox's Emily Campagno basically suggests that Biden would have Trump knee-capped to avoid actually having to debate him, after he told Howard Stern he would be willing to debate Trump. In what was basically a huge giant F-U to the New York Times, Biden sat down with Howard Stern for an interview, and here's what he told Stern: President Joe Biden said Friday he is "happy" to debate former President Donald Trump, though did not specify as to when. The comment was made during a one-on-one interview with radio host Howard Stern, who asked if the president had plans to debate his 2024 opponent. "I am somewhere," Biden responded, the first time he's indicated he will debate Trump this election cycle.

Reaction has been swift and ugly to South Dakota's Governor Kristi Noem boasting in her new book that she shot her 14 month old wirehair pointer. As we discussed here, this appeared to be some sick attempt to appeal to Trump in her quest to potentially be his running mate, but it looks like it's blown up in her face from the bipartisan disgust expressed on Xitter. Trump's niece agreed that hoping to be his VP is why she did it: Kristi Noem is telling everybody that she murdered a puppy because she wants to be Donald's VP and she thinks the story will appeal to him.
