A leftist Minneapolis City Council candidate Margarita Ortega took to social media to encourage those who "feel like burning shit down†to make sure they did it in wealthy areas, not in the "poor community.â€
Originally reported by Alpha News, in a Facebook post screenshot Tweeted by the ‘Crime Watch Minneapolis account,’ Ortega said "Just a personal thought — just in case y’all feel like burning shit down, the poor community is not your oppressors. FYI — lake of the isles has more then [sic] needed and won’t be missed.â€
In a follow up Tweet, Minneapolis Crime Watch say residents of the area have contacted the police and it is being considered a "credible threat.â€
Grocery chain Kroger said it closed down two California stores Saturday after the Long Beach City Council approved a COVID-19-related "hero pay†ordinance that increased wages by $4 per hour.
The pay increase, mandated in January, was for workers who were employed at pharmacies and retail stores with 300 or more employees in the Southern California city.
The move was announced earlier this year, but the Ralph’s and Food 4 Less—both operated by Kroger—were shut down on April 17, employees told local media outlets.
"As a result of the City of Long Beach’s decision to pass an ordinance mandating Extra Pay for grocery workers, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close long-struggling store locations in Long Beach,†said a spokesperson for Kroger several weeks ago. "This misguided action by the Long Beach City Council oversteps the traditional bargaining process and applies to some, but not all, grocery workers in the city.â€
The number of adults aged 18-34 living at home with their parents continues to accelerate to levels not seen in decades, according to Goldman Sachs, citing US Census Bureau data which found that just over 33% have returned to the nest.
And while real estate in major markets is booming, the percentage of young adults in the 'boomerang generation' - who leave the nest only to return years later - has taken a dive, as unemployment and punishing (self-inflicted) student debt has forced many younger Americans out of the housing market.
A public-ownership rental option might solve this problem, at least in part. The foundation of the program would be quite simple: public ownership of housing, acquired or built with government loans—though run by local for-profit or nonprofit property managers—and rented at market prices. No saving for a down payment (or being given one by family) and no qualifying for a mortgage. The only requirements for participation in the public-ownership option would be (1) move in, and (2) pay rent.
As the loans were paid down, the equity would accrue to the tenants, minus the cost of operating and maintaining the building, administrative costs, and so on. Unlike rent-to-own programs, however, this option would never require that the tenant take out a mortgage. A renter would never truly "own†her unit. But she would claim a stake in the public portfolio of properties and be able to draw on that asset, perhaps in the form of monthly payments after a few years of renting, or larger dividends later in life, much like Social Security. The benefit could be transferred to any publicly owned apartment, allowing tenants to build wealth without being locked in place. After 35 or 40 years, a tenant might no longer owe any rent at all. There are many more things to say about the logistical details, and I have said them elsewhere, but that’s the core of the idea.
A data breach at a Christian crowdfunding website has revealed that serving police officers and public officials have donated money to fundraisers for accused vigilante murderers, far-right activists, and fellow officers accused of shooting black Americans.
In many of these cases, the donations were attached to their official email addresses, raising questions about the use of public resources in supporting such campaigns.
The breach, shared with journalists by transparency group Distributed Denial of Secrets, revealed the details of some donors who had previously attempted to conceal their identities using GiveSendGo’s anonymity feature, but whose identifying details the website preserved.
The beneficiaries of donations from public officials include Kyle Rittenhouse, who stands accused of murdering two leftwing protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August. Rittenhouse traveled from neighboring Illinois to, by his own account, offer armed protection to businesses during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
It’s About Time for Us to Stop Wearing Masks OutsideBriefly passing someone on the sidewalk just isn’t risky.
One of the last times I stepped outside my Brooklyn apartment without a mask on was in early spring 2020, just before the state issued a mask mandate. I remember because as my dog peed on a tree, a neighbor asked me pointedly where my mask was. Where I live, almost everyone wears a mask when they go outside. If a person sipping from an iced coffee with their mask pulled down approaches someone else on the sidewalk coming the other way, they will usually yank the mask back up, as if they’ve been caught partially dressed. The other day I noticed a woman sitting on a hill in the middle of a field with her face covered. There was no one near her.

For ONT consideration -- On Sunday April 18, Rick Moranis (actor, comedian, musician, songwriter, writer and producer) will be celebrating his 68th birthday. Not sure if you've ever featured Rick Moranis before. Funny guy who also seems like a decent person.
From the wikipedia page about him:"He appeared in the sketch comedy series Second City Television (SCTV) in the 1980s and several Hollywood films, including Strange Brew (1983), Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989), Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Spaceballs (1987), Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989, and its 1992 and 1997 sequels), Parenthood (1989), My Blue Heaven (1990), and The Flintstones (1994)."
On SCTV, he and Dave Thomas created a sketch called The Great White North and portrayed the characters Bob and Doug McKenzie. (H/T Doof)

A house is where people live but a home is where people are loved. Sometimes, the bonds of family have no relation to biology. That’s why when a group of fraternity brothers learned their "second mom†needed help to retire, she didn’t even need to ask.
Jessie Hamilton worked as a cook at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house (affectionately known as Fiji) on the campus of Louisiana State University from 1982 to 1996. Though the single mom had three kids of her own, she treated the young men in her care like surrogate sons—listening to their worries, offering counsel, and even driving them to doctor’s appointments or ferrying them to the grocery store on occasion.
"I enjoyed doing it. They loved my cooking,†Hamilton told The Washington Post. "I was always there to talk things through with them. They’d come in the kitchen and sit on top of the counter and tell me their problems.â€
APRIL 16--Moments after being released from custody, an Arkansas man yesterday stole a police car that was parked in front of the jail, earning him a return trip behind bars, cops say.
According to investigators, Cordell Coleman, 33, drove away from the Pulaski County jail around 2:40 AM in a marked Little Rock Police Department SUV. A police report notes that a surveillance camera recorded Coleman entering the unlocked 2018 Ford Explorer, which was parked near a jail sally port.
Coleman, pictured at right, had been released from custody following a public intoxication arrest a day earlier, records show.
The stolen vehicle had been driven to the jail by an officer who was assisting with the booking of a prisoner. "After completing the process, I returned to discover my patrol vehicle had been taken,†the cop reported.
Investigators quickly tracked the hot wheels to an apartment complex about 10 miles from the jail, where Coleman was found inside the vehicle. Coleman, who had been the last prisoner released from the jail, was arrested and eventually returned to the lockup.

MisHum, you might be interested to know I live within a short driving distance of both Kroger/Ralphs stores in Long Beach that were closed, and even used to occasionally shop in one of them (the Ralphs near Los Coyotes Diagonal). It's not very cheery to drive through neighborhoods full of empty storefronts, just one more reason why I hope I can leave CA before it's too late.

Got sad news today at the volunteer appreciation day. Sweet Callie who got adopted last September had to be put down last week. Her hip dysplasia finally did her in. Poor sweet girl. But kudos to the college kid who adopted her and gave her final months tons of love and affection. She sent us updates all the time and she really loved her.

While they were at it, they should have told the liberals in the Long Beach city government to invest their own money to open grocery stores, then pay their employees what they required Kroger to pay. Liberals are always generous with other people's money, because liberals are hypocrites, liberals are hypocrites, and liberals are hypocrites.

When it is becoming obvious to the people being taken advantage of by those supposedly on "her side", you know the grifting and grafting must be hitting astronomical proportions. I haven't followed this situation with baited breath, but my impression is that the mom really just wants her daughter back, not be a political piñata. So sad.

Hang in there, Pug. You are doing the Lord's work for sure. As hard as it will be to lose your precious Dad, it is harder still to see him linger and grow ever more frail. I know. Just lost Mom and it was hard to see the end approaching, and even harder to see her slipping away slowly.
Prayers up for you, your parents and your supportive spouse. God has this one under control and He will handle it in His way, and in His time. Celebrate the wonderful life of your parents and know they are ultimately heaven-bound!

Tenants will pretend to pay rent, and management will pretend to maintain the building. What could possibly go wrong? Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at April 18, 2021 10:43 PM (mzC7
So they aren't owners, and aren't really tenants. What the hell would they be then?
And it sure will be a riot to watch them choose the colors for the repainting of the exterior walls and the interior hallways. Someone will be offended, the painting will stop for a few years, and the weathering and termites will seize the day.

Agreed, I have a SIL that is on her 28th year teaching elementary, mostly 5th and 6th grade math, for those that have already fallen through the cracks and are essentially getting their last chance to catch up. To get even a minor action approved takes a ridiculous amount of wasted time and effort to make it as difficult, and delay it as long as possible.
She loves to teach, she loves her kids, and their parents (mostly). But she hates her bosses and the conditions the administration makes her go through to do her job successfully. It is maddening, and she is one of the kindest, most level-headed people you would ever meet. She's thinking again of taking early retirement. With her resume, she could teach the last few years for a private school if she wanted to, for more money.

Footage shows the plane swooping low before coming to a skidding halt in the ocean not far from where people were swimming, sending spray spurting into the air. No one was injured in the incident, which came after the plane suffered a mechanical fault while taking part in theCocoa Beach Air Show.

Of course, they also need to factor into their decision that the pension might not even be there in 5-10 years, given how fast a lot of these municipalities are heading towards bankruptcy.
To put it in terms the average Minny-soh-tan would understand: Sometimes you gotta fish, sometimes you gotta cut bait.

Back in the seventies I knew this guy who was a teacher and whose wife was a teacher. He said that the smart thing to do was to live off one salary and invest the other. Long term investing can do great things. My parents raised six kids and left a very large estate, even though my dad was a skilled trade factory worker. My mom was very careful with spending, and knew how to invest. They also bought new cars with cash. They hated the idea of paying interest. Becoming a millionaire can be done, but it takes a lot of restraint in spending.

My mom said she talked with an 80 year old former teacher today after church. Her comment was that my mom had though that she (mom) had some strong opinions on the last year and was a bit loud about them. So at least some of the old guard ain't happy, and ain't seeing the current crop as medal worthy.

My sister is a teacher's aide. She said that most of the teachers wanted to get back to having students in school, while some whined about it. What I find interesting is that it is some of the worst performing school districts, such as Chicago, where a lot of teachers don't want to go back. And, oh yes, California.

I have to applaud the God-fearing Millennials that have come through the most intense period of adolescent Brain Washing, and have come out the other side with their emotions intact and a sense of Biblical Victory in the face of unmitigated, psychic evil.
They got handed a shitty Fiat Currency, had their Faith tempted and twisted, were made false pariahs by "Long-March" Boomers and told to pull themselves up by the tattered bootstraps of Credentialism and Economic Inviability.
These are a Select Few, with enduring Skills and were sent down a Path, that I, myself, wonder if I could have ever navigated. Being told to "Quit, Wash-Out and Ring that Bell" sounds good when the arrows seem to stream from everywhere.

When most people hear elective procedures they think plastic surgery, not diagnostics like biopsies or mammograms. And how many young parents were so scared that they didn't take their kids for immunizations? The death toll of this lunacy will far outstrip the death toll from Covid. It will just take a couple of years to show.

I know this because about 20 years ago there was a high-profile case where a guy had sex with a severely intoxicated woman, who died at some point.
The case turned on whether she was still alive at the time of the sex (in which case it was rape) or whether she'd already died (in which case it was only "misconduct with a corpse", which is apparently a lesser offense).
If I remember right, the guy wound up pleading out before the trial was over, so the question was never answered definitively.

What's really stupid about the "landlord getting rich" crap, is that I understand a lot of rental properties, houses to be specific, are owned by mom and pop, who bought them so they would have retirement income.Heck, I know someone who does the rental for retirement income thing. Yeah, on paper, they are worth quite a bit, if one counts the value of the properties they own. But, they live off the rental income.

They want the population just about all to be in cities. To protect the precious environment, and eliminate the need for commutes, ie cars, which are killing the environment they think. This is their main concern, and they could care less about housing. Housing is a just hook they use to push this.
They want to greatly expand housing in cities and close around. They hate suburbs and probably rural living even more.
They want us all living in little apartments stacked like sardines, under their complete control.
Pay no attention to what they claim about housing. The above is their goal.

Their narrative doesn't match reality. As of 2018 predictions were that rental capacity would be between three to four million units short. This was before the great lockdown. As of March , per the mortgage bankers association, approximately 34 million mortgages are in the serious category ( 90 days or more pd). They don't distinguish between commercial and residential in those numbers but assume at least a third of them are residential. Prior to 2008, rental availability generally operated with a slight surplus of units. After 2010 ten plus million families entered the rental market. The surplus disappeared. It has only gotten worse. Add to that the superheating costs in building materials and the shortage, IMO, is going to get significantly worse then predicted. I'm thinking their version of "housing " will be camps.

Glad to hear you are doing well. It wasn't that long ago you had it done, a week ago? How soon can you drive?
I go for a 3 level spinal fusion tomorrow. They say just overnight, but maybe 2. This time they will send me home w/ a drain, last time they kept me for 3 days to take out the drain. Just want to get this over and on the road to recovery.

Which is one of the reasons I never took cryptocurrency seriously. Even if you grant the notion that the vaporware has value, realizing that value requires interacting with the banking system. That is the choke point.

That and the entire selling point from the beginning was anonymity, security, and a break away from FED fiat currency. All of these things have turned out to be lies. What's the tax rate for GAINZZZ when you cash out? Why do I have a gut feeling anybody who uses these will be labeled a domestic or foreign terrorist or providing material support "them".

He was a midget stuntman of sorts, and had parts in many TV series over the year. He played a leprechaun who encounters Hoss on Bonanza in one of the many whimsical episodes they did.
Felix was well loved by all who knew him, and they call him a very tall man, indeed.
