646 Riversville Road, currently asking $2.150 million, is under contract. Assuming the sale goes through, one of our stalest properties will finally move off the rolls. The owners paid $2 million for this house and five acres in 2001, and have been trying to get rid of it since 2007, when they marked it up (why?) to $4.995. Negotiations being what they are, the final closing price for this will probably place the owners behind from where they started 18 years ago.
That'll happen when you have nothing to sell

“Maduro Special” — temporarily out of stock
Clinton Foundation founders from lack of “donations”
Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer said on Wednesday that the Clinton Foundation, founded by former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is losing revenue due to a lack of donations.
“All that money has now dried up, literally” Schweizer told “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “The Clinton Foundation has had a hard time raising money because they don’t have the influence to sell. They don’t have power access to sell and that, I think, is the primary evidence for what the Clinton enterprise was all about."
CLINTON FOUNDATION BLEEDING CASH
“The Clinton Foundation literally raised 10 percent of what it did in 2009 when Hilary Clinton was secretary of state," Schweizer added, "and the international numbers are even worse."
The foundation posted its third straight year of losses following Hillary Clinton's defeat in the 2016 presidential election, according to 2018 tax documents.
The foundation lost $16.8 million on revenue of $30.7 million in 2018, according to the documents. It has posted roughly $16 million in losses every year since 2015, when it had roughly $116 million in revenue.

CHARLIE MARTIN: The Game’s Afoot in Ukraine: Burisma Reportedly Indicted for Money Laundering.
Now things start to stack up. We’ve seen that Vindman has close ties to the previous Ukrainian government, dating back to Yanukovych and his successor Petro Poroshenko, while this alleged money-laundering scheme was taking place. The connection to the Franklin Templeton Fund is interesting because John Templeton, Jr. was a major Obama campaign donor, and Thomas Donilon, who was Obama’s National Security Advisor before Susan Rice and is now the chairman of BlackRock Investment Institute, a major owner of Franklin Templeton stock.
As an aside, remember how it was just shocking and unprecedented for Trump to use a personal representative? Here’s a quote from Donilon’s official bio:
Reynolds’ comment:
Mr. Donilon served as the President’s [Obama’s] personal emissary to a number of world leaders, including President Hu Jintao and President Xi Jinping, President Vladimir Putin, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Now, a little graft in the amount of a few million dollars is one thing, but $7.5 billion is real money, and a friend in the NSC could be really helpful. Especially with a couple friends in CIA and another one in an executive office in the West Wing.
Well, stay tuned and let’s see what develops. But yeah, it could explain why Vindman was scared and “literally shaken” by Trump’s phone call asking for an investigation into corruption.

SHUT IT DOWN!
Activist scolds homeless man for accepting food from Salvation Army.
Okay, the story is from our national paper of record, The Babylon Bee, but the Left is demanding the defunding of the Salvation Army and all other charities that don’t toe the LGBTXYZ line. If there’s less money to feed and shelter the homeless and they suffer accordingly, is that the Alphabet mob’s fault?
Yes, it is.

Purdue Pharma board meeting
Speak about (a) fair trade
The Sacklers are pushing Oxycontin in China, using the same lies they employed here.
The documents and interviews indicate that representatives from the Sacklers’ Chinese affiliate, Mundipharma, tell doctors that time-release painkillers like OxyContin are less addictive than other opioids — the same pitch that Purdue Pharma, the US company owned by the family, admitted was false in court more than a decade ago.
Here’s hoping both sides lose.

Greenwich Free Press has the story, and the money quote:
“With the way the market has changed, malls are dead. So let’s find other uses for it.” – Deputy Director of Planning David Woods, PhD, AICP
And this:
“How is it that Norwalk is just opening a mall with similar characteristics?” asked Planning Board member Michael Bucchino.
“They’re not doing it with all that success,” Woods said. “They’re worried, given the changes and that they’ve bet the farm on…But there’s a newness factor. It’s brand new, but it’s looking distressed, quite frankly.”

Chick-fil-A’s announcement that it was abandoning the Salvation Army in order to appease the woke has, of course, done nothing except damage its relationship with its customers and further stir up the left who, scenting blood, are back for more. From Victory Girl:
The full statement from Drew Anderson, GLAAD’s director of campaigns and rapid response, names more steps the fast-food chain must take to prove its genuine repentance:
If Chick-Fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families.
Chick-Fil-A investors, employees, and customers can greet today’s announcement with cautious optimism, but should remember that similar press statements were previously proven to be empty.
In addition to refraining from financially supporting anti-LGBTQ organizations, Chick-Fil-A still lacks policies to ensure safe workplaces for LGBTQ employees and should unequivocally speak out against the anti-LGBTQ reputation that their brand represents.
Ahem.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: –“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!”
