Yep pure socialism,just like forgiving College debt. Until we get a Republican it will not change.

I wonder if there will be a similar backlash (see Bid Lite) in the mortgage and credit industry as people realize that making on time payments or payments at all will cost them money. Therefore hold your cash drive that credit rating down and then purchase without penalty and maybe get a subsidy.

This really is a monumentally stupid decision because now there is absolutely no benefit in having a high credit rating. They're driving us to into idiocracy

My wife cannot stand that movie, HOWEVER, I was watching it the other day and she stuck around to watch it with me. She's starting to see the parallel between it and the morons that pass for "people" nowadays. I think she is beginning to understand...

Many from realty industry spoke against this. Did any Republicans work to stop this or were they quiet about all of it?

I just want to thank all of the Karens and Chads that voted for this imbecile vegetable because Trump is a meanie.

Bidens’ corrupt web unraveling before our eyes

https://nypost.com/2023/04/22/...ing-before-our-eyes/

It is said that history turns on small hinges, with the poem “For Want of a Nail” the classic example.

Another example is unfolding before our eyes.

The sudden flurry of evidence and allegations about the Biden family’s money-making schemes is a direct result of the GOP winning control of the House of Representatives last year.

The margin of midterm victory was very small — just five seats — but the impact is very large because the majority comes with subpoena power.

And aggressive new Republican committee leaders are eager and willing to use that power.

After a slow start, they are producing at near-daily pace documentation of serious wrongdoing.

None of this would be happening if Democrats still had control of the House.

The breakthroughs include testimony showing how a group of retired intelligence officials influenced the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, effectively proving the existence of a corrupt Deep State.

There are also claims from an IRS whistleblower that federal law enforcement agencies are giving favored treatment to President Biden’s son in a long-running probe and that Attorney General Merrick Garland lied to Congress about the case.

The implications of these developments are enormous and while there is still much to be learned, it is possible investigators are on the cusp of revealing one of the largest scandals in the history of American politics.

The probers believe the president participated in and profited from the corrupt influence-peddling schemes while he was vice president.

The arrows all point in that direction, with Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, head of the Oversight and Reform panel, producing bank records that show millions of dollars from China being divvied up among as many as nine Biden family members.

In response, the president emerged from hiding to say only, “that’s not true,” without directly refuting the evidence collected by banks and subpoenaed by Congress.

Meanwhile, two Ohio Republicans, Rep. Jim Jordan, head of the Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Mike Turner, head of Intelligence, revealed a former deputy CIA director testified that Tony Blinken, then a Joe Biden campaign adviser and now secretary of state, helped provoke the infamous 2020 letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials.

The witness, Mike Morell, said he helped organize the letter after Blinken called him about The Post’s initial laptop stories and later sent the letter to Blinken because he wanted Biden to win.

The letter falsely suggested the Post stories were a form of Russian disinformation.

It hit the media just three days before the final presidential debate, allowing Biden to cite the letter as proof the laptop stories were false.

Because of the assumed credibility of the 51 signers, the letter, along with blackouts by Big Tech and Big Media of The Post’s scoops, helped save Biden from likely defeat, polls showed.

Linking the letter to the Biden campaign is significant because the president himself had to know the laptop was legitimate because the information on it included photos of him and messages and meetings.

As a Post editorial put it, the laptop was the real thing and the intel “letter was the real disinformation.”

So a Deep State not only exists, it meddled in and tilted a presidential election.

Part of that sinister force involved the many FBI former agents working at Facebook, Twitter and other tech firms, where they helped government officials censor the laptop stories and others that would have damaged Biden.

And Blinken is not the only Biden aide up to his eyeballs in dirty tricks.

Jake Sullivan, the president’s national security adviser, worked for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and helped spread the Big Lie that the infamous Steele dossier was true.

The most recent GOP bombshell involves the IRS whistleblower, who approached Comer and leaders of both parties with claims the IRS and Department of Justice are giving Hunter favored treatment.

By accusing Garland of giving false testimony to Congress, the whistleblower, identified by his lawyer as a “criminal supervisory special agent” who has been overseeing the case for three years, dramatically ups the ante.

Media wake-up call
Comer, citing what he called “the Bidens’ tangled web of complex corporate and financial records,” reacted by saying: “We’ve been wondering all along where the heck the DOJ and the IRS have been. Now it appears the Biden Administration may have been working overtime to prevent the Bidens from facing any consequences.”

The developments are so significant that even the media outlets that usually run a protection racket for Democrats have been forced to start doing their jobs.

All three broadcast networks covered the whistleblower’s claims, as did CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Associated Press.

These are the same outlets that largely ignored the laptop stories in 2020, even as Tony Bobulinski, a former partner of Hunter’s, authenticated key messages on the device, including one that referred to “the big guy” getting a secret 10% cut of a deal with a Chinese energy company.

Bobulinski identified Joe Biden as the secret partner, yet most major media organizations ignored him.

That history and a set of iron-clad double standards that always favor Democrats raise doubts about how aggressive the media handmaidens will be as new disclosures emerge.

The Times, for instance, played the whistleblower story on page 19 in Friday’s paper under the murky headline of “I.R.S. Official Is Said to Claim Political Favoritism in Hunter Biden Investigation.”

By burying the story and using the phrase “Is Said to Claim” in the headline, the editors inject skepticism into a clear, credible accusation.

The Times had the letter to Congress from the whistleblower’s lawyer, Mark Lytle, that explicitly lays out the claims and the whistleblower role in the probe, so it was disingenuous to imply there is any doubt about how specific the charges are.

Consider also that Lytle said the agent went to Congress only after he had already made his complaints within the IRS and to the Department of Justice.

The implication is that he went to Congress because he didn’t believe either agency would act on his information.

For the media, the emerging storylines represent a new chance to cover Biden honestly and accurately.

After years of looking the other way and pretending there was little or nothing to see in the laptop and other evidence, they are going to find it hard to dodge the landslide of incriminating evidence likely to come.

Still, should reporters, editors or producers be confused about whether to report new developments, here is a foolproof guide: They should simply ask themselves what they would write or say if the same set of charges and facts involved another president, say one named Donald Trump.

That should instantly clear up their confusion.

Of course, such media fairness would require a completely new mindset, but America is long overdue for a miracle.

Most voters, in particular moderate or swing voters, are casual followers of the news. This issue has been barely covered, if it all, by the MSM. I do hope that whoever the R nominee is will include this issue in their advertising to educate voters as to what is going on with this issue. This would be a winning issue for the Republicans.

We really are encouraging people to be absolutely stupid and useless.

How the hell did this happen and not have anyone know about it until days before it is in place???

Just makes you wonder what’s coming next.

Busted my ass since 1970 and cleaned up my act for all the screwing off I did in high school. Wife and I worked while raising two kids. I. Retirement still working albeit only a couple days a week but still paying taxes.

Had hoped for a small getaway house up north but this is just another “nope” in that hope.

My question was this done by Executive Order or did the FHA just decide to make these changes? From what I’ve found nobody has taken credit for this but I’ve got to be missing something.

Yup, they've been making noise about it for a while.

I strongly advocate ROTH accounts rather than traditional 401k and IRAs. Silver and gold might be a good hedge, though it will become ever more difficult to hide the purchase or sale of it from government.

Well the Democrats think everybody deserves a retirement. Why not just share yours with those less fortunate. (IE. Work and sacrifice is for suckers.)

Hunter Biden may be living at the White House to evade legal papers from his baby mama

https://nypost.com/2023/04/23/...-from-his-baby-mama/

Hunter Biden is believed to be hiding out at the White House while his baby mama goes on the warpath.

Lawyers for former stripper Lunden Roberts asked an Arkansas court Friday to jail the First Son for failing to stump up his financial records as required in her lawsuit over support payments for their 4-year-old unacknowledged daughter, Navy.

Roberts claims Hunter, 53, is “flaunting the dignity and authority of the court” by failing to provide “one single item or word [of] discovery” and says, “This court should incarcerate the defendant in the Cleburne County Detention Center until he complies with this court’s orders.”

Roberts, 32, had to get a court-ordered paternity test to prove Navy was Hunter’s, and last year Hunter applied to have his monthly support payments reduced.

She also has enlisted Biden nemesis Garrett Ziegler as an expert witness for the trial expected in July.

The 27-year-old former Trump adviser is founder of the nonprofit Marco Polo, which published a 644-page analysis of Hunter’s infamous laptop last year, identifying hundreds of alleged crimes.

Tracking the first son

Ziegler currently is being sued by Hunter’s “sugar brother,” wealthy Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris, for alleged harassment and invasion of privacy.

Morris generously paid off Hunter’s $2.8 million IRS bill, which is part of a federal criminal investigation by the US attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, into the first son’s overseas business dealings.

Things were brought to a head last week when a career IRS criminal supervisory special agent who has been investigating Hunter for three years came forward with claims that federal prosecutors are preventing tax charges from being brought against the president’s son.

“Preferential treatment and politics [are] improperly infecting decisions” in the case, the whistleblower’s attorney, Mark Lytle, alleged in a letter to Democrats and Republicans leading various congressional committees.

Roberts’ legal maneuvers in Arkansas lend weight to the rumor in Washington, DC, that Hunter has been living at the White House with his second wife, Melissa Cohen, and their 3-year-old son, Beau, allegedly to avoid being served with legal papers.

Numerous sightings over the past six months lend credence to the idea, with Hunter and his family spotted trailing his father and the first lady onto Marine One for weekends away to Delaware or Camp David, or for longer vacations at the borrowed homes of billionaires.

Last week Hunter joined his father on a state visit to Ireland.

Surrounded by his father’s Secret Service detail and protected by his own agents, it is difficult for a process server to get to him.

From early last year, an elaborate swing set suitable for a toddler was spotted in the White House grounds when the president ambled back to his office from Marine One.

There also may be other Biden family members shacked up in the White House on the taxpayer dime.

The New York Times reported in November, when Naomi Biden, 28, Hunter’s eldest daughter with ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, and husband Peter Neal were married on the South Lawn, that the couple “live at the White House, according to two people familiar with their living situation.”

Susan Rice To Depart Biden White House

https://americanliberty.news/g...ouse/phouck/2023/04/

Susan Rice, Biden's domestic policy chief, is stepping down as the president prepares to announce his campaign for reelection.

Rice, 58, previously served as the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (aka National Security Advisor) for the duration of then-President Obama's second term.

The White House confirmed on Monday that Rice, who has been serving the Biden administration as a domestic policy adviser, will exit that position just before the Memorial Day holiday weekend on May 26.

Susan Rice was/is a tool.

One name you never hear, but who is most certainly involved with this administration, Valerie Jarrett.

The laptop from Hell does not lie. We have all seen the photos.

Human Trafficking is a crime involving the exploitation of a person for labor, services, or commercial sex.

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and its subsequent reauthorizations recognize and define two primary forms of human trafficking:

Sex trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such act has not attained 18 years of age. (22 U.S.C. § 7102(11)(A)).

Forced labor is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. (22 U.S.C. § 7102(11)(B)).

Additional legal definitions are contained in 18 U.S.C. Chapter 77 (criminal definitions) and 19 U.S.C. § 1307 (includes definition of “forced labor” for purposes of implementing the federal prohibition on importation of goods produced with forced labor).
