We got an offer on our house $30,000 below asking.

After closing we will walk away with less money than our original down payment, let alone the year if equity and $20,000 in improvements and upgrades.

Apparently it’s the interest rate hitting 6% that’s the problem.

That is driven by inflation.

I realize thai I will never really own a house.  My real estate experience will be one of value loss after value loss.

I want to go the way of Serbia and I want to go absolutely crimes against humanity with all 81 million Biden voters.

They decided getting rid of mean tweets was worth getting rid of all the equity in my house.

I don’t think that was a fair trade and I want vengeance.

It is no secret to readers of this blog that I harbor an intense, burning hatred of Pete Buttigieg.

This whole administration is a fucking dumpster fire train wreck clown show of ineptitude, corruption, and virtue signaling.

This latest example is a travesty of Titanic proportion.

Biden administration announces first major step to fight America’s racist roads
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a large grant that’ll be used to dismantle a highway built to destroy a Black community. And there’s more.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that $104.6 million in federal funds coming from last year’s bipartisan infrastructure bill will go toward a plan to dismantle Interstate 375, a highway built to bisect Detroit’s Black Bottom neighborhood and its epicenter of Black business, Paradise Valley.

The funds are being allocated to Detroit as part of a $1.5 billion grant program called Infrastructure for Rebuilding America, or INFRA, for states to move critical projects forward.

“This stretch of I-375 cuts like a gash through the neighborhood, one of many examples I have seen in communities across the country where a piece of infrastructure has become a barrier,” Buttigieg told the AP about the Detroit highway.

“With these funds, we’re now partnering with the state and the community to transform it into a road that will connect rather than divide,” he added.

A Bloomberg report on neighborhoods destroyed by racist highway construction noted the impact I-375 had on once-bustling Black Bottom, noting that “few traces of the neighborhood remain aside from historical markers.”

A feature on the neighborhood published in Grist noted that “the destruction of the epicenters of Detroit’s Black life started with the condemnation of housing through the National Housing Act of 1949,” which trapped Black people in cramped, low-quality housing. And Grist said the problem continued “when the city received even more funds through the National Highway Act in 1956.”

The very first expenditure of the much touted Biden infrastructure bill is to spend $104 million to eliminate a one-mile long spur of interstate in a dead section of a dying city.

A city in which one of the major employers, Ford, just cut 3,000 jobs making gas powered cars, because the Biden Administration is going balls deep into electric cars with batteries from China.

Yeah.

I bet the working class people of Detroit could find better ways to spend $104 million, but that wouldn’t allow Buttigieg to be a White Knight and fight racist roads.

It’s legitimately hard to figure out a more useless way of spending that money.

The one thing I do know is that at some point we will find out that the contractor that gets the job or the investors that own the surrounding land, or both, are big Hunter Biden art dealers or donors to Buttigieg’s husband’s charity, or some other corrupt as fuck shit.  I guarantee that.

I’m going to, once again, quote the great Robert A. Heinlein:

If you wanted to teach a baby a lesson, would you cuts its head off?’

Why . . . no, sir!’

Of course not. You’d paddle it. There can be circumstances when it’s just as foolish to hit an enemy with an H-Bomb as it would be to spank a baby with an ax. War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose. The purpose of war is to support your government’s decisions by force. The purpose is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him . . . but to make him do what you want him to do. Not killing . . . but controlled and purposeful violence.

Self defense is force.  It is controlled violence.

The purpose of self defense is not political control, but to deter or prevent a criminal from using force against you.

Force comes in degrees.

We spend a lot of time talking about gun rights because guns are the ultimate form of force.  They dispense lethal force in a very abrupt way.

They are the ultimate in “stop doing that right the fuck right now” force.

But sometimes that is, pardon the pun, overkill.

Let us turn to a real world example.

This adult toddler is being annoying.

Then she escalates to violence.  Attempting to open the car door, attempting to rip off the side mirror.

It’s not necessary to shoot this person, nor would it be legal.

But clearly this person needs to have their behavior altered with controlled violence.

To me, this looks like a job for pepper spray.

A bit of temporary violence directed at this person’s olfactory glands should be sufficient to deter them from doing damage to the vehicle and dissuade them from continuing their tantrum.

Force comes in varying degrees and you should be equipped to dispense the necessary degree of force at the time.

@CrimeInNYC NYC always good for some chaotic mayhem. He didn’t hurt anybody, but could have been ugly ! pic.twitter.com/I6WvqROuGR

This guy was smashing a McDonald’s with a hatchet.

He was eventually arrested and (you know the words, say them with me) released without bail.

This is just accepted as the “local flavor of New York City.”

I wish I was kidding but I’m not.

If you were in NYC and were legally carrying and some crazy guy came toward you with a hatchet and you shot him in self defense, you would be the bad guy for depriving NYC of one of the zany characters thats makes life in the Big Apple unique.

That’s why your right to carry has to be so highly restricted.  So you are not a threat to the hatchet welding insane people that give flair to the city.

The other day I said The MCU and its Woke fans are going full Jew hater.

The next Captain America movie will have an Israeli super hero named Sabra as one of the characters.

She has come under fire by both the entertainment media for being “controversial” and “problematic,” and MCU fans with despicable antisemitic comments.

Why?

Because she’s a Zionist Jew and the Left hates Zionism and Jews.

I said that the ugliest aspect of this was how the MCU reacted.  With silence.

They backed black Captain America, woman Thor, woman Hulk, Muslim Ms. Marvel, etc., and called everyone a sexist and a racist for not immediately loving their diverse cast of characters.

But one Jewish super hero gets written into a story and it’s crickets from the MCU as the internet erupts with Jew hatred directed at their character.

Well, the MCU released a statement and it’s horrific.

“While our characters and stories are inspired by the comics. They are always freshly imagined for the screen and today’s audience, and the filmmakers are taking a new approach with the character Sabra who was first introduced in the comics over 40 years ago.”

I fucking called it.

They are going to turn her into an anti-Zionist mouthpiece, degrading Israel and apologizing for Israel, claiming that she disagrees with everything they do.

She will be a Jew hating Woke wet dream.

Her lines will sound like they came from a Neturei Karta flyer.

I would prefer they just cut her character that do to her what they are going to do to her.

After the news was in uproar over DeSantis sending 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, California Governor Gavin Newsom challenged Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to a debate.

Hey @GovRonDeSantis, clearly you're struggling, distracted, and busy playing politics with people’s lives. Since you have only one overriding need — attention –let's take this up & debate. I’ll bring my hair gel. You bring your hairspray. Name the time before Election Day. @CNN https://t.co/vTJHQxfArW

— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) September 16, 2022

Here is my proposed opening remarks for Governor DeSantis:

“Governor Newsom, a CalVEX study shows that violent crime in California has reached, quote ‘epidemic proportions’ with a huge increase in hate crimes, particularly anti-Asian hate crimes. Murders in Los Angeles have gone up 35%.  Property crimes has caused retailers like Target and Walgreens to close stores.  California has a crisis of homelessness.  California is having a crisis of teenagers overdosing on fentanyl and opioids. California has a massive housing shortage and consequently has the highest housing prices in the country, so much so that it threatens the stability of the state’s future.  The middle-class on California is disappearing, driven out by an unreasonable cost of living.  Over a third of the nation’s welfare recipients are in California, making it the welfare capital of the country. California is now a state full of the super rich who can afford it and the people too poor to get out.  More than half of California students can’t read at grade level. California middle school students ranked near the bottom for math and reading proficiency.  You are number 46 in the nation.  Florida is number three.  California has electricity shortages and water shortages.  Both are due to epic mismanagement of state resources.  Rather than build power plants and reservoirs to deal with these problems, you blame climate change and mandate electric cars which doesn’t solve the immediate problems of the state.  Every single aspect of the governance of California has been a hot flaming garbage dumpster fire of incompetence, ineptitude, and virtue signaling that fails for everyone except the wealthy elite who hide away in beach front gated communities behind private security.  So sit down and shut until your state stops hemorrhaging businesses and residents.”
