"I don't know where the sourcing is for the "Grand Jury Subpoenas in Florida" story. But unless something has changed without announcement the GJ recently authorized -- but not yet impaneled -- doesn't yet exist. The Order stated that the GJ would be impaneled in Jan. 2026. That was -- supposedly -- the GJ intended to hear any evidence/cases involving corrupt investigations of Trump going back to the Russia Hoax. It is possible that the subpoenas are being sent under the Number of a currently sitting GJ and the investigations will be transferred to the new GJ once it is impaneled -- nothing"

Paid that one off in X years. Kept it another XX after that. Have owned X since -- paid cash each time quality used cars. Only cost was repairs. Haven't had a car payment since 2005.

He can decide what cases go before the GJ -- and he can prevent cases from being presented.

You should pay off every other debt you have before you pay off X% debt. But even when you pay down the principal you are doing that with funds that you could invest. If you could invest that same money in a stable mutual fund and make X% you are losing 3%. You are losing the X% return on an investment you don't make in order to save X% interest by paying off your mortgage early. That's a loss of 3%"

"Lesson from Tuesday: Trump's coalition is built on "unreliable" voters -- in significant part men between XX and XX. Women in the same age group show up at polls and vote. That's what carried Spanberger and Sherril to much bigger than expected victories -- it's not that the Dems have more voters they have more reliable voters in low-turnout elections. The Calif Prop XX election was over X weeks ago when the Cal. GOP -- under-resourced -- and wealthy individuals who claimed they would oppose the ballot measure all pulled back. Harris won Calif by a margin of XXXX to XXXX. So the No on 50"

"It is not a tax -- the foreign owner of the good can absorb it or pass it on. That's the decision of the foreign owner. The US consumer has the option to not pay it -- he/she can buy a domestic alternative that has no tariff. I wish my property taxes had a "decline" option"

"That's not the bank's fault. Home owners become upwardly mobile as they get older. The borrowed money in order to buy an appreciating asset. The asset goes up in value and they want to move to a different city or just to a better/bigger house in the same city. They sell the asset and use the equity to move up. How is that the fault of the bank Without amortization they might not have been able to buy the first house to begin with. "Interest" is just renting the use of someone else's money to use for your own purposes"

I have been an outspoken critic of Massie for a couple of years because of his "Party Of One" approach to being in the GOP caucus in Congress. But for Julie to gnaw off one of the hands that have fed her is just too funny"

"I want to do some things I stopped doing 10+ years ago like skiing. I thought that would be impossible but Dr. said -- "3-4 months of good solid rehab and you can go." But my Dad had one done and said the miracle was simply no more pain. Felt weird at first but he got over that. But the daily ache from morning to night from arthritis was gone"

"My problem is I have a torn ACL that has been that way for XX years. I made a decision in 1988 to not have reconstructive surgery -- still a 6-8 month rehab at that time. So I wore a brace for any activity like softball basketball golf etc. Water-sports was the only thing I was able to do without it. The byproduct was just destroying my cartilage and it has been bone-on-bone for XX years. It is entirely unstable now and I have to be careful on uneven surfaces and stairs. The injections might work for the arthritis but they won't fix the instability"

"Just notice this in another post -- something that millennials and zoomers make use of that didn't even exist 6-8 years ago Meal delivery services like DoorDash and Ubereats. Those only came into fashion during COVID. They were an extension of Uber and Lyft. If they can pick you up and take you places they can pick up your FiveGuys burger and bring it to you. But it increased the cost by XX% when you add in a tip. Just crazy -- an $XX burger (itself an outrage) is not $XX to avoid having to get it yourself. And the under XX crowd thinks it is normal"

But they know there is no good way to try to repay tariff revenue already collected"

"They still are in some communities. The unwillingness of young people to move to find jobs or housing is the big problem. They want a good paying job and a house WHERE THEY LIVE. They don't want to move where good jobs and housing can be found. They want to live in Austin or Nashville or NYC or LA or Miami or San Diego. Employers create jobs in locations where job creation is the cheapest. More often than not that is going to be cities with a population of 250000 or less and state/local governments who are not hostile to employers"

"The math then increases the amount of the payment on the front end. I saw one calculation earlier today that showed an simple interest loan at X% on a $500000 mortgage gives you a $2100 a month payment. Amortization lowers that payment to $1600. You can't change the math. There is a reason why amortization is used"

"The real estate market goes up and down -- it always has. But when you flatten out the peaks and valleys real estate has increased in value continually since the 1950s. Is it possible to buy at a peak and then be caught out in downturn Sure. And negative equity might trap you for a period of time in that particular house. But my parents bought their first house in 1967 for $28000. I bought my first house in 1992 for $165000. A similar home in the same neighborhood today sells for about $450000. But in 1967 you could get a Cheeseburger meal at McD's for under $X. In 1992 a Big Mac was $3.99."
