Just before the closing bell, a scrap of real estate news has come in

/

Contract for 567 Lake Avenue (corner of Rockwood Lane), listed at $2.675 million, 35 days on market. There’s still 1.6 of an acre attached to this 1868 house, and it’s listed as both land and residence. I’d like to think that the house will be saved but, looking at its condition, that would require a huge sum of money, and probably more than makes economic sense.

Who invited HIM?

Matt Margolis:

“If he were still the candidate, we'd be asking some serious questions about his cognitive health and wondering if he'd be dropping out of the race soon. Now that he's no longer the candidate, we're asking why Kamala is letting him join her on the campaign trail.

“Even Newsweek is wondering why Kamala is letting Joe campaign with her.”

There are concerns that having the president campaigning for Harris could be a hindrance, especially considering the circumstances that led to Biden dropping out of the race. The 81-year-old president quit his bid for re-election under pressure in July after a disastrous debate performance magnified concerns about his age and ability to beat Republican Donald Trump in November.

But while Biden is an asset in winning over some voters, experts say his involvement in Harris' campaign carries risks.

“Keep in mind that Joe Biden wants to be on the campaign trail. Don't think for a second that the Harris-Walz campaign invited him — it goes against everything the campaign is trying to accomplish.”

"No, son, it's 'cause you be 18-years-old"

That’s the punch line to a joke that can’t be repeated here, but it’s appropriate to this story.

'Neighbors from hell' claim they're being targeted by cops because they are black, not because of their noisy parties... but there's a problem

A black couple in Maryland have claimed they are being targeted by police because of their race, after repeatedly being called on by their neighbors in a mostly black neighborhood for hosting loud parties.

Prince and Angela Floyd have had police respond to their home 41 times for noise and parking complaints involving 11 events over a three-year period, the Washington Post reported.

The Floyds are now suing for a whopping $3 million in a federal civil rights lawsuit, alleging they're being unfairly targeted for hosting lavish parties in their nearly million-dollar Accokeek home.

But their neighbors - who are mainly black - insist the issue is about noise, not race. 

Prince and Angela Floyd transformed their home into the 'Floyd Estates', complete with a red carpet, live band and food trucks for their frequent family gatherings and celebrations. 

The Floyds' parties have become the talk of the town - with rumors of exotic dancers and hookah parties, which the couple deny.

The drama kicked off with a pandemic-era graduation party for the Floyds' daughter in 2020.

With 50 to 70 guests on their lawn and a makeshift stage, the celebration quickly drew the attention of local residents who called police with noise complaints.

The Floyds, who are now suing their neighbors and the police for $3 million, say they are being racially discriminated against. 

The Floyds allege their civil rights have been violated, with their neighbors using the police to 'harass and intimidate' them. 

They are now demanding a jury trial, membership to the local civic association, and millions in damages. 

'It makes me feel threatened, like my life could be taken,' Prince Floyd, 53, told the outlet.

Floyd, who appears to have a long criminal history involving everything from driving drunk to battery added: 'Every time the police show up, I am in fear of my life.’ 

'When they show up and they see a black man talking to them, it is almost like they are ready to be aggressive with me.' 

But their neighbors insist it's about noise, not race. 

They claim the issue has nothing to do with race, and is simply about the Floyds hosting parties that are 'too loud, too large and too disruptive.'

'It has nothing to do with them being black,' said Margaret Littlejohn, a black neighbor whose fiance is named in the Floyds' lawsuit. 'It has to do with them not being good neighbors.'

Interestingly, census data shows Accokeek is a majority black community, with black residents making up 65.2 percent of the population, followed by white residents at 18.7 percent. 

Two cities, two accents, one day, and one piece of phony baloney; did her values also change during that two-hour journey?

Kamala Harris has been spotted wearing a pair of headphones as she waded through a group of reporters who tried to question her on Monday.  

Harris - who took more than a month to give an interview with a major media outlet after announcing her run for president - was filmed boarding her flight as she left Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to campaign across the midwest. 

As she continues to face scrutiny for avoiding more interviews, he decision to wear the headphones has triggered a wave of more hilarious theories. 

'Kamala is in over her head… hiding behind EarPods leadership for cowards 101', wrote one person.

In the clip, journalists can be overheard trying to get Harris' attention, but the Vice President simply waved dismissively while adjusting her headphones as if she was taking a call.  

Taking a call, or listening to the new Taylor Swift song — I’m going with “neither” or, failing that, the latter.

If only someone had warned us

Migrants flooding NYC’s justice system — making up ‘75% of arrests in Midtown’ — as ‘pathetic’ sanctuary city laws handcuff cops

Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal-justice system — at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged.

Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate.

On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.

The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean New York cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases where they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders.

This makes it almost impossible for authorities to get their arms around the problem, experts and sources on the ground say.

“New York City eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess,” Jim Quinn, a veteran ex prosecutor at the Queens Districts Attorney’s office, told The Post.

“The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy.”

Making matters worse, police sources say that word has gotten out in the shelters about the city’s lax bail guidelines — meaning migrants know they’re going to get kicked back to the street quickly after they’re nabbed.

A City Hall spokesman pointed to Mayor Eric Adams’ previous calls for the City Council to change the sanctuary city laws. Last week, Adams said, “Right now, we don’t have the authorization to be able to go and coordinate with ICE. We have to follow the law.”

Bad, racist Orange Man!

February 7, 2018, PBS: Trump continues to cast some immigrants as criminals

WASHINGTON — Making his case for tighter border security, President Donald Trump has repeatedly linked immigration to criminality, highlighting immigrant gang violence, calling family reunification a national security threat and bemoaning the death of a pro football player involved in a car accident with a man living in the country illegally.

Speaking to law enforcement officials at the White House on Tuesday, Trump singled out the MS-13 gang, which is believed to be behind 25 killings on New York’s Long Island in the past two years, and has become a prime target of the Trump administration.

What’s behind the Trump administration’s crackdown on MS-13?

By Patty Gorena Morales

“We’ve really never seen anything quite like this, the level of ferocity, the level of violence, and the reforms we need from Congress to defeat it,” Trump told law enforcement officials and lawmakers, eventually threatening another federal government shutdown if Democrats don’t agree to pass an immigration package he said would help keep gang members out.

“If we don’t get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come into our country and continue to kill … if we don’t change it, let’s have a shutdown,” Trump suggested. “I’d love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of.”

Trump’s latest threat is part of a pressure campaign he has been waging to try to get Democrats to sign onto a sweeping immigration plan that they’ve rejected. The president wants billions for a southern border wall, major cuts to legal immigration, and more money for interior enforcement and other changes in exchange for granting a pathway to citizenship for up to 1.8 million young immigrants living in the country illegally.

Earlier Tuesday, Trump called on Democrats to “get tough” on immigration, citing the death of Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson, who was killed in a suspected drunken-driving crash involvin

June 7, 2021, Newsweek: Trump Says 'Rapists,' 'Murderers' Crossing Border, Calls Biden Not Visiting 'Disgraceful'

Years after being heavily criticized for referring to migrants as "rapists," former President Donald Trump resurfaced the controversial comment while highlighting the "incompetence" of his successor's approach to the southern border.

Trump told Fox Business' Stuart Varney on Monday that "criminals," including "rapists and murderers and drug dealers" are taking advantage of the "totally open" border.

“His comments were reminiscent of a description he used in 2015, when he announced that he was running for president at Trump Tower in New York City.”

At the time, he called America a "dumping ground for everybody else's problem," and honed in on the need to crack down on undocumented immigrants, a staple of his candidacy and presidency.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best ... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people," Trump said.

It is beginning to seem easier to just shrug, and walk away

Climate change classes should be ‘mandatory’ in med school, doctor says

‘Irresponsible’ not to train ‘future practitioners for the realities they will be facing’

“My personal opinion is that it should be mandatory,” Dr. Lisa DelBuono told The College Fix via email. “Climate change has been politicized, but it is not a political issue…

“Fossil fuels pollution and climate change are making Michigan residents sick today, and the impacts are on track to become much worse going forward,” she said. “The good news is that climate solutions are health solutions and most of what we do to address climate change will improve human health, save lives, and save healthcare dollars.”

She is the founder and president of Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action.

Harvard to offer course on 'Queering Education,' focuses on 'young people’s schooling experiences'

Participants will study the supposedly ‘hidden curriculum’ of ‘heteronormativity and cisnormativity.’

The course aims to highlight the strategies that schools allegedly use to ‘privilege heterosexual, gendered identities and ways of being.’

Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education will offer a spring semester course titled “Queering Education” that will discuss sexuality in children’s education.  

The course, which will run from March 24 to May 2, explores “the role of gender and sexuality in shaping young people’s schooling experiences, opportunities, and outcomes, and the role of schooling experiences in shaping young people’s notions of gender and sexuality.”

More specifically, the course will teach students to understand the supposedly “hidden curriculum” of “heteronormativity and cisnormativity.” The course description alleges that American schools promote “subtle” strategies that “privilege heterosexual, gendered identities and ways of being,” and that “heteronormative schooling” hurts “all students.” 

According to ScienceDirect, heteronormativity is the belief that “heterosexuality is the norm and all individuals are expected to conform to traditional gender roles and relationships.” 

Somehow, this reminds me of our own government spending

Create money out of nothing; spend it; outrage when the pretense is ended

”Infinite Money” TikTokers go wild over Chase bank 'glitch' - but they are in for a rude awakening

A 'glitch' at Chase bank's ATMs which allowed customers to withdraw money from their account after depositing fake checks for large sums has seen a wave of people flaunt their cash online.

It appears some Chase customers wrote checks with outlandish amounts and deposited them to get tens of thousands of dollars that weren't theirs, which had some calling it an 'infinite money hack.' 

But experts say this isn't a harmless life hack but rather a case classic check fraud, which is punishable by fines and jail time in serious cases.

Social media users who 'tried' the hack reported seeing the money initially reflected in their account balance or were able to get cash from ATMs before their fake checks cleared.

However Chase, one of the oldest banks in the country, was quick to crack down, leading to many customers posting update videos where they're devastated over huge negative balances in their accounts.

'We are aware of this incident, and it has been addressed. Regardless of what you see online, depositing a fraudulent check and withdrawing the funds from your account is fraud, plain and simple,' a Chase spokesperson told DailyMail.com.
