Reluctance, not “reticence”.

I didn’t have to click. Did anyone here have to click?

Money should be scarce.

Spit on the Bible, or you’re an idolator.

Pindar would like a word.

Israel is the golden calf of the American “right”. Scare quotes because they’re co-opted liberals and don’t even know it.

The one who has broken with protocol is Charles, who has plunged himself into political matters.

Sure they are. Every last one. Even the Christians. Even the children. Even the Christian children. If Israel wants them dead and scraped off the land, who are we to oppose them? All we do is fund Israel. It’s none of our business. All we do is arm them. We exist to serve them.

Contraception. And most “conservatives” are guilty.

There are pictures.

Grok fabricates false information.

Rural dwellers must be so relieved.

Unfunny and juvenile after the third hearing. But he made some people feel smart and hip, and I guess they cherished him for that.

It’s still essential reading, if only for its literary merit, which is unsurpassed.

Almost no one knows what that word means. Especially journalists.

What’s the pricing difference on primary versus secondary home financing? Say, on a 15 year maturity.

If he’s abusing the homestead exemption, that’s a state matter.

Has he claimed two? That would be tax fraud for sure— if he has. But there’s no bank fraud unless there are two bank loans. As I’ve said it ought to be easy for Schiff to prove that he lives in the MD house more than his condo in Burbank.

The article implies that the condo in CA is paid for. No mortgage, so no question of bank fraud. If he has claimed both residences as primary for borrowing purposes, that would seem to be bank fraud, and he should be made to answer for it — but is the fraud material? Did he shave 50 bps off the interest rate he ought to have paid? I’m no lawyer, but this strikes me as misdemeanor and maybe not even that.

Banking regs and electoral regs are two different things. If he spends 6 months and one day in the MD house, that’s his primary residence as far as the bank is concerned. Sorry for the buzzkill.
