I’m too old for this shit
You can take that to the bank
Another price cut up on Rogues' Hill
/
310 Round Hill Road, dropped today to $2.975 million. It was asking $5.8 million back in 2014 but that was Ogilvy pricing, and you wouldn’t want to use that as a benchmark; David enjoyed the aspirational.
Under $3s a start, anyway.
Shorelands contract
/
13 Old Club House Road, $1.975 million. Personally, I prefer my houses to be above the flood zone and have more than a ship’s galley kitchen, but as 51 Mayo Avenue shows, even $7 million doesn’t get you a decent kitchen, so what do you expect for a measly $2?
Water wings provided as a housewarming gift to the lucky buyers.
I suppose if you’re coming in from a NYC studio, this looks spacious
Pending in Khakum Wood
/
27 Khakum Wood Road, $6.995 million. Khakum Wood houses haven’t been flying off the shelf these past years, probably because they’re old, even though renovated. I’d think buyers would be more receptive to these homes’ grace and quality and some are; it just takes a while to find them. This one hit the market in May 2019, at $8.795, so the owners aren’t getting what they’d hoped for, but assuming it closes in the mid-6s, not too shabby.
So what do you get for $1.2 million in Riverside these days?
/
Not too much. 49 Riverside Avenue has sold for $1.2 million; 13 days on market.
Belle Haven contract
/
51 Mayo Avenue, currently asking $6.950 million. Except for a brief period serving as a COVID-refugee shelter this past March-September 7, it’s been on the market since May 2018, when it was listed at $7.850.

Unwilling to see nursery schools be the sole indoctrinator of self-hate in the nation’s school children, Barbie joins the fray.
“…Nikki goes on to give an example of how she, as a black doll, was stopped by evil security officers (presumably also dolls), while minding her own business on the beach.
"Barbie and I had a sticker-selling contest on the beach last month," the doll says. "We split up and went our separate directions to see who could sell the most. While I was on the boardwalk, beach security stopped me three times. The security officer thought I was doing something bad, even though I was doing exactly the same thing that you were doing."
Nikki also shares how a teacher – a white, cisgendered male doll, if I had to guess – discriminated against her after a French exam, believing she "got lucky" on the test because of the color of her skin. Nikki sadly shares her realization that the system was rigged against her, and that she would always be a victim, leading her to not join the French club.
"I don't want to have to constantly prove and re-prove myself," she says.
The message is clear: kids, things only work based on the color of your skin, not on your merits, or hard work, or the content of your character. No matter how hard you try, the game is rigged. This, of course, is one of the central premises of Critical Race Theory's division of society into Oppressed and Oppressor, as well as Robin DeAngelo's profoundly disgusting book "White Fragility."
Like a Critical Race Theory "training" session where people of color share their experiences with racism, Barbie then brings these stories home with a message to your kids that they should check their privilege.
"They don't make those assumptions about white people like me," she says. "Because that means that white people get an advantage that they didn't earn, and black people get a disadvantage they don't deserve."
And the hits keep coming, but what difference, at this point, does it make?

“So I told John, ‘here’s what you say: ask not what your country can do for you …’ ”
The former veep, 77, has repeatedly spoken about participating in the civil rights movement as a teenager in the 1960s and of attending organizing sessions at the Union Baptist Church in Wilmington — then run by the Rev. Otis Herring, an acclaimed pastor who died in 1996.
But congregants and a longtime assistant to Herring at the prominent black church told the Washington Free Beacon this week that they never remembered Biden attending as he claimed, and said he met Herring as an adult.
When asked if Biden attended Union Baptist, Phyllis Drummond, Herring’s longtime assistant who attended the church for four decades, said: “No. Not at our building.”
Juanita Matthew, another longtime member, told the Free Beacon that she also wasn’t aware of Biden’s attendance as a high school student.
“When I was a teenager in Delaware, for real, I got involved in the civil rights movement,” Biden told a crowd of parishioners at the Bethlehem Baptist Church in South Carolina on Jan. 20.
“I’d go to 8 o’clock Mass, then I’d go to Reverend Herring’s church where we’d meet in order to organize and figure where we were going to go, whether we were going to desegregate the Rialto movie theater or what we were going to do,” he went on.
“I got my education, for real, in the black church, and that’s not hyperbole, it’s a fact,” he said.
At an NAACP event in Iowa several days prior, Biden said his “political identity” was shaped by his experiences at the church.
“I was raised in the black church politically — not a joke,” he told the audience, according to the New York Times.
Between his tale of friendship with the mythical Corn Pop, and his false claim to have attended an “HBUC” (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), Delaware State, one can be forgiven for suspecting that Ol’ Joe may be making all this shit up.
Neil Kinnock could not be reached for comment.
Oops! He's done it again

Who am I? Why am I here?
“I’m running as a proud Democrat for the Senate”.
He did the same thing back in February and his keepers straightened him out on the issue, but apparently he’s forgotten, again. Go to the link for a complete list (as of today) of this poor man’s confusion.
So where does her chauffeur buy groceries for her?

No confirmation hearing here
“This hearing should have been postponed. The decision to hold this hearing now is reckless and places facilities workers, janitorial staff and congressional aides and Capitol Police at risk,” Harris (D-Calif.) said.
Her concern for the Little People of the Capitol is commendable, of course, but what steps is she taking to protect her running mate’s black lady shelf stockers?
