So I caught this very nasty stomach flu which had me out for a day and a half. To say it was equivalent to and a Elon Musk’s rocket launch would not be an exaggeration.

Everything is packed and just waiting for the truck to come pick up the container “sometime between 9 am and 11 pm” (really?) and since I also have the floor and tile cleaning people showing up this afternoon, I am expecting an episode of Worlds Collide.

If both of this last events come out without any more issues, I have a room and a half left to paint and we are done fixing the house. Funny thing, we had our first house hunters today while we were out loading crap to take to then dump. Young couple, she appears to be early pregnant and they wanted to have walk around the house which I politely declined because truthfully I have no idea what the real state agent would agree or not and I told them so. I gave them a chance for a quick peek from the main door which gives you a straight look to the black and the lake. I know it was what caught my eye 20+ years ago.

The lady fell in love with what she saw and made no bones about it. The guy seemed to like it too but he kept his calm and cool because guy thing. He might have been a little shaken when I asked if he fished, he said yes and I pulled photos of my last captures in the lake before packing my gear. I could only tell hem to contact the realtor and I wish them the best.

I have heard that closings down here are taking less than 2 weeks and even heard of one taking 2 days. It would be hilarious that the house would be sold before we even put it up in the market.

Biden’s move to fire the top U.S. mortgage regulator is triggering calls from fellow Democrats to use the agency to expand access to loans for lower-income people, who have struggled to buy homes since the financial crisishttps://t.co/Kv2PnB9x2R

This caused the housing crash in 2008.

It will do it again.

Remember this:

Thread.

Blackrock is buying every single family house they can find, paying 20-50% above asking price and outbidding normal home buyers. Why are corporations, pension funds and property investment groups buying…https://t.co/uTagTOQQgI

I guess house prices were getting too high.

The government will create a bubble l, it will bust, and the investment banks will come in and buy up all the underwater houses for cheap.

The IDF has lots of experience finding people in rubble after buildings are destroyed, thanks to Islamic terrorists.

They travel all over the world to help in these types of situations.

But to a Leftist, they show up because they must have brought the building down.

For the record, it was brought down because it posed a risk to the rescue teams.  It was unstable and a controlled demolition that had it fall away from where the rescue teams were operating was safer than having it fall on the rescue teams as they removed rubble.

But why understand that when you can blame the JOOOOOOOOOSSS!!!

An enormous swath of Americans live with no real serious problems.

They have no fear that they may not have a next meal or clean water to drink.  That if they get sick they will be unable to see a doctor and be healed.  That the next time the weather gets too hot or too cold they might die of exposure.  Or that an animal might eat them or a neighboring tribe or warlord might kill them or enslave them.

I  might go on to say that perhaps human beings are not evolved to live in such a relative paradise.

It’s funny, but in the movie The Matrix, Agent Smith explains that in the first few iterations of the Matrix, simulated life was idyllic and the humans died.

In the Bible, humanity gets itself cast out of Eden.

Nevertheless, when people live lives of such ease, all they do is become resentful of the tiny imperfections they see.

All of America everywhere isn’t perfect to their standards so they hate it.

Nothing demonstrates this more than sponsored athletes, given every advantage in life, showing disrespect to the nation and to a veteran who fought real evil to protect this nation.

See you when I see you

I was reminded of this today.

After America has won the War of Independence and established itself as a nation, one of the largest Jewish congregations in the new country reached out to the father of this nation, George Washington, with their concerns given the history of the treatment of Jews in Europe.

This was Washington’s Reply:

Gentlemen.

While I receive, with much satisfaction, your Address replete with expressions of affection and esteem; I rejoice in the opportunity of assuring you, that I shall always retain a grateful remembrance of the cordial welcome I experienced in my visit to Newport, from all classes of Citizens.

The reflection on the days of difficulty and danger which are past is rendered the more sweet, from a consciousness that they are succeeded by days of uncommon prosperity and security. If we have wisdom to make the best use of the advantages with which we are now favored, we cannot fail, under the just administration of a good Government, to become a great and a happy people.

The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my Administration, and fervent wishes for my felicity. May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.

Go: Washington

This was the first time that the leader of a nation welcomed the Jews with equal rights as all other citizens without reservation.

Another unique example of American exceptionalism.

This is the ONLY tweet today, Independence Day, from a sitting member of Congress.

When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people.

This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.

This mush racism in hatred towards America from a Member of Congress on Independence Day should come with some sort of official reprimand.
