Mortgage and auto loan delinquencies are rising fast in the US.
When consumers start skipping car payments, it’s a flashing alarm.
People will skip everything else before they lose their car. That’s how they get to work. If they’re missing payments now, the strain is already severe.
Mortgage delinquencies are surging in 2025. Learn what this means for regional banks and consumer lenders and where smart investors are finding opportunity now.
_PBS CEO Pops Up Hours After NPR Boss, Claims There’s Zero Evidence of Bias_
Inversion of the burden of proof: If there were no bias, that would be easy to prove simply by showing a long history—including recent history—of news and opinion they've published from both sides of the political spectrum, with a statistically robust distribution between left and right (e.g, a balanced spread to the left and the right from the mid line.)
Key fact: Were there no bias, the left would not be so supportive of these sources, and the right would not be so opposed. That's NOT a debatable point.
With so much of the national political media being manufactured through narratives and public relations campaigns, it wasn’t a shock that PBS CEO Paula Kerger surfaced on CNN Wednesday afternoon for an interview soaked in elitist condescension and li…
@relentless_eduardoThe burden of proof is on PBS and NPR to justify their continued receipt of public funds. It's not on the taxpayers to prove they don't have to continue to fund them--or anyone else.
There are MANY views other than communism (extreme socialism,) extreme social conservatism, extreme fiscal conservatism, extreme limited government, extreme free-market propertarianism, extreme Progressivism, extreme wokeinsm, etc. And those can be mixed in non-traditional ways (e.g. rabidly pro-transgender + extreme free-market propertarianism + Hinduism.)
That's one of the very strong arguments against ANY public funding for news and opinion publishing: It's inherently impossible to be neutral, to be "balanced."

A government-funded source of news and opinion is just as anti-American as a government-funded church—and for the same reasons. And that's true REGARDLESS of the religion, or of the political views of the organization(s) being funded.
🇫🇷The Prime Minister of France has signed his own "political death sentence" by proposing to cancel Victory Day and a number of social benefits, writes Politico.
Bayrou proposed to deprive the French of vacations, freeze their social security, and save billions of dollars on healthcare in order to save the budget.
But most of all, the general outrage, as the publication writes, was caused by Bayrou's call to cancel two of the 11 public holidays in France. He named Easter Monday and Victory in Europe Day on May 8 as two potential candidates for cancellation.
Opposition leader Marine Le Pen has already promised to overthrow Bayrou's government.

Right. I've always wondered why I read so much about anti-Semitism accusations against Corbyn, but never saw any examples. Especially since he was against any violence. But then again, people within Labour worked hard on discrediting him...
Not just the Blairites within Labour, the entire establishment were gunning for Corbyn... Israel knew that as PM Corbyn would recognise the state of Palestine...
L'Etat Policier Français a fait défiler les tanks anti manifestants pour célébrer la dernière fois où des manifestants ont renversé l'élite qui s'était approprié tous les pouvoirs.
Le lendemain l'élite qui s'est appropriée tous les pouvoirs a annoncé qu'il serait peut être bien de supprimer des jours fériés aux interdits de manifestation pour payer les dettes causés par l'élite qui paie pas d’impôts.

Hey lady believe what you want, but the fact remains that America isn't YOURS to dole out to interlopers as you see fit.
If Miguel had come legally, you would be paying off his costs. It's cheaper for you to pay someone else to do your work if they come with lower overhead.
If Miguel was part of the first wave of deportations, that means he had a particularly nasty criminal record. Those are the only people who have been targeted so far.
Because not only is she getting her lawn cut below market rates, but her importation of illegal labor causes increased traffic, pollution, increased property taxes to fund public education and so on.
IF true, only a business guy like Trump could have done this.
"As of July 1, the United States has reaped $106.1 billion dollars in tariff revenue. If the same pace and level of tariffs remain the same, that would translate to around $300 billion added to Treasury annually."

We invented computers in 1941 and then apparently forgot everything about them.
Someone has now realised that the software that the government uses has bug, leading to 1440 teacher positions not getting filled. Even though the money for them is in the budget. This bug existed apparently since 2005.
That is crazy. for 20 years no one asked why do we have this much money left over? or what the fuck happened with that

The best play is actually to do nothing. If you're caught, you're caught. Bringing attention to yourself, including by reacting in a way that telegraphs guilt and initially causes people to spread the video until you're recognized, is just just dumb.

"This is what people power looks like...It's thanks to these protesters that ICE has not shown up to immigration courts...So when you ask what can you do, this is exactly what you can do. Organize in your communities, show up to immigration courts and scare ICE away, just like these folks do.
Actions like these literally save lives. Because of their action today, ICE didn't show up."
"Star Trekkin'" is a song by British novelty band the Firm. It parodies the original Star Trek TV series and prominently features comical voice caricatures of the Trek characters, provided by members of the band, a studio technician, and the wife of one of the songwriters. One of the song's phrases, "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it", actually originated with "Star Trekkin'" but has been subsequently misattributed to the TV series.
You can't make this shit up. I heard this online, so I wanted to know for sure. Gemini says she received an EB-1 Visa.
Melania Trump reportedly received an EB-1 visa, commonly known as the "Einstein Visa," in 2001. This visa category is for individuals with "extraordinary ability" in fields such as sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, and typically requires "sustained national or international acclaim." She later became a US citizen in 2006.
What special skills does Melania possess? Since when does nude modeling qualify an immigrant for a special Einstein Visa?
