Q: "You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school…but you're the only person in your government saying this…Why are you the only person saying this?"
Trump: "Because I just don't know enough about it."
It would have been inconceivable even 10 years ago at beginning of Trump1 that the Republican Party party could fully turn its back on free market capitalism without a complete meltdown of the base. Cults of personality are crazier that I could have imagined.
Mortgage rates are driven by mortgage back securities which are essentially a spread product of treasuries so competition has no real impact on anything other than lender margins. Given cyclical nature of rates margins tend to rise in lower rate cycles, but doubt we will see that now.
A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Why?
There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.
It would be great to speak to what nba might be telling teams to prevent anyone from signing Malik Beasley. I understood the hesitation at first, but we are over half way though the season so has to be something to it.
In a note embedded on top of an FAQ question, “What is the average length of stay for the aliens?” Tim Kaiser, the deputy chief of staff for US Citizenship and Immigration Services, asked David Venturella, a former GEO Group executive whom The Washington Post described as an adviser overseeing an ICE division that manages detention center contracts, to “Please confirm” that the average stay for the new mega detention centers would be 60 days. Venturella replied in a note that remained visible on the published document, “Ideally, I'd like to see a 30-day average for the Mega Center but 60 is fine.”
NEW: DHS left embedded comments in a PDF outlining its plans to warehouse immigrants, identifying the architects and laying bare the gross extent of its regulatory capture. Great scoop by @regret.bsky.social:

Weaver also drafted Killian Hayes ahead of Hali. Cade and Ausur no brainers in their years, as was Ivey so no blame there or credit. Kudos for Isiah and Jalen however. His roster construction also had ppl talking about Cade as a bust until he was thankfully canned.
I never for a minute thought one of my favorite follows on social media would be the host of Jeopardy. Kudos.
The Basel restrictions have made it almost impossible for banks to retain mortgage servicing pushing it all to less regulated and less capitalized counterparties for Fannie, Freddie, Va and FHA. This reduces systemic risk IMHO. Definitely something worthy of bipartisan consideration.

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Pam Bondi loves dogs. Always had them, one after another. She got involved with dog shelters and dog rescue, and once pulled off to the side of a busy road and got out of her car to chase down a stray. Another dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a “walking skeleton” and “dying from heartworms” when she adopted him. The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. “She lied,” Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist years later. “My little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.” The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.
This is some genuinely psycho shit...

That is the exact energy an all star game should have.
Could, hear me out, Levert just not play?
I think it is easy to overvalue your own lottery pick as a fan, but truth is Ivey wasn’t that effective and was always getting hurt, and that doesn’t generate much demand. It is a bummer. Heuter is fine… has a defined skill set that is needed and should see much better looks playing with Cade.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"
When he was gm the Pistons were 74-224, had the longest losing streak in team and nba history, and was so bad at roster construction people were legit thinking Cade might have been a bust. I don’t think the fans have to credit him for a thing.
Another US government equity stake just dropped, bringing the grand total to TWELVE since Trump took office.
Reminder: prior to last year, Washington hadn't been a shareholder in a healthy private company since at least the 1950s.

Date range from 1/8-1/16 were better but still at or near best price point of month. Treasuries a different story however.
Where are you getting your rate data from? I would highly recommend utilizing these sources instead. www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/mortgage-rates

I think it is Hebert vs Hurts, because Harbaugh doesn’t seem like a good vibe as a boss either. Look at all the coordinators he ran through at u of m

This is what happens when you normalize gambling on everything — from sports to elections to war. It’s a symptom of a culture where insider access = profit, and the rest of us lose faith & trust in everything.
Sports betting was just the gateway.
