So says Keith Elison, responding to two separate allegations of sexual abuse.
The fact that the Congressman is a black muslim surely has nothing to do with his fellow Democrats’ deafening silence on this matter. “You just can’t trust women”, Senator Dianne Feinstein told FWIW.
Bill Clinton was unavailable for comment.
I hitchhiked from Greenwich to California in three days in 1970 when I was 16, but I suspect Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser thinks it will take from today until at least a day or two past November’s election before she can arrive in Washington.
The Republicans should just end this bullshit and vote to confirm tomorrow, but Grassley has taken a more politically-savvy approach, and says the Judicial Committee will fly west to accommodate the liar.
Snowman, chia pet, no weenie — the result was inevitable
Maryland woman who killed three, wound three others was mentally ill, cops say.
Gender dysphoria is a clear sign of mental illness, and this lady had it.
““I just started talking about [being transgender],” Moseley wrote in a Facebook message from December 2016, according to The Baltimore Sun. “My sister is totally supportive, my brothers already had an idea, my mom I haven’t gotten around to admitting it to yet. but she’s heard about it somehow.”
She also chatted with Coley about starting hormone treatment.”
1 Widgeon reports that a short sale is “pending”. That should mean that the lender has agreed to a proposed purchase price (last ask, $1.and because short sales are subject to no contingencies, this long, drawn-out drama will, probably, conclude soon.
I have complete sympathy for homeowners who run into financial disaster, and were I in such a situation I would fight tooth and claw to keep my family in our home. That said, there should probably be a better way to handle foreclosures than the one Connecticut has devised.
Foreclosures in California and Florida take about six months to complete. That speed certainly inflicts great hardship on defaulting borrowers, but it also clears up the housing market: those states with speedy foreclosure processes recovered from the 2008 debacle quickly, those who don’t, didn’t.
This particular foreclosure began in 2009. Two-hundred-plus motions later, judgements of foreclosure entered and reopened, the house is finally being sold off, allowing the lender’s assignee to recover part of the money due. I don’t hold any particular sympathy for the plaintiff here: it probably paid pennies on the dollar to whatever entity first extended the loan, but still and all, nine years to complete a pretty simple matter: money loaned, secured by a mortgage, loan defaulted on. Our civil court docket is clogged with cases strung out by both plaintiffs and defendants, depending, with the result that litigants with legitimate grievances must wait years to have them addressed. “Justice decayed is justice denied:”, some wise man once declared, and I agree.
Just a few of Dianne Feinstein’s and the media’s friends:
Representative Keith Ellison, Deputy Chief, Democrat National Committee, current candidate (and leading in the polls). Beat girlfriend repeatedly. Democrat response: no investigation, no comment (but whispered: “he’s not only a top Democrat leader, he’s a black muslim. Let’s “Move On”).
Senator Corey Booker, NJ. Admitted “groping girl in high school”. Democrat response: no investigation, no comment.
Senator Sherrod Brown, Ohio. Accused by ex-wife of slamming her against a wall and engaging in other physical violence against her. Democrat response: no investigation, no comment.
Senator Thomas Carper, DE. Admitted beating his wife, now says he “regrets it”, and promises not to do it again. Democrat response: no investigation, no comment.
And, not a Democrat, but an accuser of one, Juanita Broderick, claims Bill Clinton raped her. Democrat response, denial, no investigation, no further comment.
OOPS!
6 Khakum Wood Drive asked $15 million in 2012 and finally sold to the current owners for $8,999,888 in 2014. That kind of precise numbering indicates, to me, some intense negotiating on both parties’ sides, and presumably the buyer thought he’d achieved a bargain.
But he put it back on the market in 2017 for a-million-plus-dollar loss, $7.9, and he’s down to $5.1 today.
Bummer.
A year ago last September, in fact: “Ah, fall, when a builder’s fancy turns to impossible profits”.
9 Shaw Place (driveway off Gilliam Lane) in Riverside. New construction put up for sale in 2017 at $5.250; reduced to $4.399 today. Adjacent to Cobra’s boyhood home and overlooking the Fountain boy terrorists homestead, so you know it’s a prime location.
Maybe the listing agent should stress the fact that all of us miscreants are long gone.
20 Alpine Road has sold for $3.2 million. The sellers paid $2.725 ($3.655 in current dollars) for it in 2004, renovated, expanded it and added a pool. They put it back up for sale in April, 2016, for $4.350 million, with the result we see today,.
A spec house at 18 Lake Drive, Riverside, set off last February at $4.8 million, having missed the spring market, the summer market (there is one), and almost a month of the fall, reduced its price to $4.299. Lake Drive is a good location: walk to the train, the schools and, should you be clubbable, the yacht club, and the house is about what you can expect from new Riverside construction — nothing particularly out of convention — so I assume price has been the objection. This latest cut may resolve that.
Has anyone else noticed the fetish with toilets in our town’s new construction? This house has six bedrooms, six full baths and two 1/2 baths, and that’s typical these days. Unless families are doing a lot of dining out at Chipolte’s, I don’t understand the need too have so many toilets ready for simultaneous use.
Just sayin’.
5 Sylvan Lane, which started at $6.8 million in February, 2016 and slowly dropped to its present price of $5.195, is reported as under contract. I’m guessing the final price will be closer to $4.8 than the builder might wish, but spec homes are usually optimistically priced when first put up for sale, with plenty of room for “adjustment”, so I’m sure these folks are making out just fine.
And it’s a nice house. Sylvan Lane is a great, quiet street, this property is above the flood zone, and, depending on taste, a perfectly attractive design. Only problem, I’d say, was the price. Now that that’s been resolved, Bob’s your uncle.
Might have sold quicker had the stager hung zebra pelt next to The Orange
