How Rising Home Insurance Costs Are Linked to Your Credit History (Gift Article) In many states, homeowners with β€œexcellent” credit scores are charged less for home insurance than those with worse scores, even if they live in a disaster-prone area.

I shouldn't have been surprised by this but I really thought more states had banned pricing property insurance based on your credit score.

Evidently, Netanyahu & Kushner family were close friends in the β€˜90s; even staying in Jared’s empty bedroom when he was in NYC

Would not be a surprise if he’s a Mossad officer, or a Sayan (a Jew who voluntarily helps Mossad)

2 guards working the night Epstein died were fired. An inmate says one killed Jeffrey Epstein

A female guard replied β€œIf he is dead, we’re going to cover it up"

Investigators say the fractures found in Epstein's neck were "much more common in homicidal strangulation”

And to think that we could go in there and have nobody killed, not lose one aircraft, where we’re going 1,800 miles an hour over a small area with 152 different planes, different planes and helicopters, is pretty amazing to people, you know. You didn’t have a [President] Jimmy Carter crashing helicopters all over the place, that you didn’t have a Biden Afghanistan disaster where they couldn’t do the simplest maneuver. That was a simple maneuver β€” they should have never left from that airport. They should have used Bagram.

U.S. Capabilities Are Showing Signs of Rot When a military force begins to decline, the first symptoms may be subtle.

US military’s supremacy over rivals is built on intensive training. By contrast, Hegseth has stressed lethality & warrior ethos instead of learning & reflection, blocking elite universities. Shows of force alone may not defeat even militarily inferior enemies.

How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.

How many more immigration assassinations are being hidden from the American people? How many more violent, masked thugs are being protected from legal consequences? When this god-awful period of our lives is over, we’re going to shake every part of our government loose.

Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem His use of the Iran war dead to attack the media was disgraceful.

www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
This nickel-dime TV host posturing as a secretary of defense is in the employ of another posturer who said that fallen American soldiers were losers. Shameless, dangerous buffoons pushing buttons on a console while mocking the players they've blindly committed.

In Iowa, Grief and Pride as Middle East Conflict Takes Local Lives America’s military operations abroad have landed with particular force across Iowa in recent months.
