---Another nothing burger indictment on just one count of 'alleged' mortgage fraud against Letitia James---just to smear her reputation---for doing her job---

---A diversion to release the Epstein files---

---By the way---how is James Comey court case going with the illegal appointed, inexperienced Lindsay Halligan---
I think your brain works in reverse. She was personally able to get two counts in Comey case. She had only been there less than 3 days.

Don't know about Letitia if that's your defense boy you are crazy. DOJ has seconded two lawyers to lead cases because the current are either corrupted or biased. These are Gabriel J. Diaz and Nathaniel T. Lemons.

You might be pleased that the judge appointed to Comry case has refused to recuse himself despite him being conflicted ie
_Nachmanoff hired by Comey twice.
_Clerked for Brinkema during Comey's tenure.
_Biden appointee, tied to Democrats.
_Father donated to Obama, DNC.
_Handled Trump-related cases before the Giuliani associates.
****Conflict Here***
First Hiring (1995-1996): Nachmanoff joined the EDVA U.S. Attorney’s Office as an Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) in 1995, shortly after his clerkship. Comey was an AUSA in EDVA from 1987 to 1993 and later Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division (1993-1995). Sources confirm Comey, as a senior official, was involved in hiring Nachmanoff for this role.
Second Hiring (2002): Nachmanoff returned to EDVA as an AUSA in 2002 after private practice. Comey was U.S. Attorney for EDVA (1996-2001) and then Deputy Attorney General (2003-2005). Sources indicate Comey, while no longer at EDVA, influenced Nachmanoff’s rehiring through his DOJ connections or prior relationship.



In the Letitia James case ,a judge appointed by Joe Biden has been randomly selected to hear the case

The judge in Comey case was appointed by Joe Biden also.

Lettician (the con) James did her own too. She will soon be peeing in her pants when they convict her!
Extreme TDS. Anything against Trump is good , according to liberals. They celebrate his failures , trials and tribulations..
Letitia Tish James should also get indicted in New York .

DOJ was prinmpted by a forensic investigator into her possible crimes...

33 billion to Iran ?

Una no even fear God
Small small with the lying

BTW the nuclear deal with Iran was the right thing to do.

The world agreed to it
It was the big 5 plus the EU.

Obama knew more than any president that leaning too much in Israel way is NOT the way

That's why he was in the middle
I accused Obama of almost criminal activity . Prove me wrong .
He was the reason Trump became president. Also the reason there is this Israel/Hamas war
To seal his failures, Trump shall get the Nobel Prize.

Financial Times writes that in his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump has gone too far.

‘Trump is putting pressure on the Nobel Committee. He constantly says: ‘I need the prize, I am a worthy candidate’ — this is not a very peaceful approach,’ said Nina Greger, director of the Peace Research Institute in Oslo. Trump also pressured the Norwegian government. According to Norwegian officials, he mentioned this award at least once in a phone call with the finance minister and former NATO chief Stoltenberg. There is also some concern in Oslo that Trump may take retaliatory measures such as tariffs or other sanctions if he does not win on Friday.’
You can tell whoever wrote that article is fuming that a Nobel Prize will be handed out a clearly deserving winner unlike the Obama one.
If Obama had not coddled Iran , Hamas would never have invaded Israel and Trump would not be deserving of the Prize That's one reason the media is unhappy about the Peace deal. It makes Obama prize sound worthless.

All that welcomed foreign investment, and raumdeuter is trying to convince us more millionaires are leaving UK than arriving.

Qatar is trying hard to reduce it's fundamentalism, and are unlikely to export it to UK. But if they try, we have enough atheists and Christians and even Muslims here willing to tell them where to go.

Trump's obsession for that Nobel Peace Price is insane. He thinks that's the only thing Obama has ahead of him.

But if that obsession makes him holdback of Netanyahu, then I will say thank God for the Nobel Price.
Israel analysts accused Obama (by extension his spiritual advisor Valarie Jarrett) of leaking US intelligence about Iran nuclear strikes. This was to preeempt a strike on their facilities. Obama went ahead to cobble up a nuclear deal that gave Iran billions of dollars in exchange id them not developing a.bomb for 10 years..He knew the US Congress /Senate would not ratify it so he sneaked it through the UN The most stupid deal in the history of deal making.
Trump joined Bibi in taking out their nuclear sites, something the charlatan allowed them to build and produce Highly Enriched Uranium.

If those Nobel prize committee had any inkling of decency they should strip Obama of that Proze He gave Iran pallets of if cash in European currency to secure release of some hostage too.
. https://www./obamas-secret-33-billion-cash-and-gold-transfers-to-iran--290693350960291189/

Iran was happy to get sanctions rolled back and what did they do? They armed the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas which eventually led the Gazan terrorists invade Israel, murder over 1300 ,kidnap, rape, main and fire thousands of rockets . A war that Trump has worked to stop and craft a long lasting peace deal for the Middle East .
All because of that snivelling piece of garbage.

Furthermore Iran captured US sailors and humiliated them .

Same way you are told qanon mules 2000 kraken?

Stop letting yourself be told, is my advice to you.
Actually it's true. Qatar is the largest private office sq feet owner in London. Not in terns land acreage.

Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings - 21,452,796 sq ft
The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London - 17,447,701 sq ft
Transport for London - 14,889,025 sq ft
Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) / Qatari Diar - ~10.7 million sq ft
Derwent London - ~5.5 million sq ft

*** QIA owns 60% of the No 1.

Whether they are ranked No 4 you can see how welcoming UK is...I think it's retrogression.

Budaatum. The elite UK Green Party has concluded that society has no place for private landlords
.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uks-green-party-demands-abolition-private-landlords

‘The private rental sector has failed, it is a vehicle for wealth extraction, funnelling money from renters to the landlord class…

This motion makes it clear that Green Party policy is to seek the effective abolition of private landlordism and to support the building of council housing.

…The Green Party believes the existence of private landlords adds no positive value to the economy or society, that the relationship between landlord and tenant is inherently and intrinsically extractive and exploitative.”


On eof it's cosigner is a landlord who will just give up his property since he doesn't make a profit.

Echoes Mamdani who could seize luxury condos and give them to the homeless.

This is for you basilico. Fed cut, but mortgage rates have risen.
Thanks. Looks like the mortgage rates are heavily tied to 30 year Treasury yields, so Fed cutting rates doesn't immediately translate to lower mortgage rates. The 30 year Treasury yield rate is currently at 4.2% .
That would be my understanding, I could be wrong.

He's already promised it to farmers, so we'll see how much he has left for those $1000 cheques.

Oh! But the tariffs are not coming from the pocket of the rich, as far as they know, even though they are a tax on the profits of the companies most own shares in.

Companies are cutting their profit margins or reducing overheads in order to absorb the tariffs. I doubt there has been an exact corresponding increase in consumer good prices.
You have a study to show cobsuners are paying more?
Without tariffs prices still go up every year ,so you can factor that out .

That's the colonized mindset we are talking about. You are thankful for the language of the colonizers. It helps you read their books.

Since it's all bad why not avoid it?
Africa founding presidents adopted the big man syndrome, they became irreversibly corrupt . The westerners took advantage of their greed to maintain us in a neo. colonial state. Many countries are still dependent on their first colonial masters The french were the worst in terns of neo colonialism where their Central Bank holds sway on fiscal matters till today

Much of Africa woes belongs to post colonial leadership . As is wont the leaders shift blame from themselves to the colonizers. Cameroon presidents daughter is tired of her 90 something dad wanting another term.
The west has tried to help Africa in terns of orderly and democratic changing of power ,but they have also instigated coups and counter coups throughout post independence .period.

Something must pay for something.. every body has got to contribute fairly and squarely.

It now depends on what a nations priority is. Health care shouldn't be negotiated at any cost. Its peoples lives we are talking about.. I expect pro-lifers to understand these basics of being pro-life..

I ask you again.

Won't you and your family members both home and abroad prefer to benefit from affordable health care?

you see your mentality?

The ACA is the start to making health care affordable for average americans.. who doesnt want affordable health care? Don't you want it? Don't your kids want it?

I have never seen a set of people who detest making life affordable for the average or poor person like you and your ilks.

If I decide to call you a wicked hearted individual I may not be wrong.
Who pays for it? I believe the ACA good intention was make healthcare affordable to everyone and in the end baloon the government debt deficits and what have you. Eventually the govt will have to take over the bankrupt insurers and healthcare .
That's a socialist dream. Start with govt controlling healthcare, pensions, guns and you will never lose an election .
Convince me otherwise with proof. You do realize I seem to have more info than your whitewashed view . All I know is that US govt spending on healthcare is
2012: $823 billion
2022 : $1.5 trillion
2024: $1.67 trillion
2025: ~$1.8 trillion (est.)

Take your time to find out how the ACA has impacted on Americans before it was passed and after..

And try to find out if the health care system was any better before it.
Socialists like Obams and Mamdani are just scammers who think money grows on trees and everyone needs equity not a pathway to equal opportunities.. That's why I've never bothered with ACA ,also because the media will never critique it. Whenever democrats praise something I know there's a lie behind it.

🔥 CNN Just Admitted It — Trump Is Delivering Exactly What He Promised 🔥

The Left is going to HATE this one…

CNN’s own data shows that a majority of Americans (52%) say President Trump is doing exactly what he promised when he took office in 2024.

Even better — Trump now holds the most consistent favorable rating this far into a presidency in U.S. history.

“Trump is basically doing what the American people thought he was going to do,” CNN’s analyst said. “He has the steadiest favorability rating through this point of any president on record — and it’s good enough to get him reelected.”

So after endless media attacks, indictments, and fake scandals…
👉 The American people still trust Trump more than the establishment.

He’s doing what he said he’d do — and that’s exactly why they fear him. 🇺🇸

Funny you think you can tell me what to do with my time.
Ukrainians also knew your favourite president was corrupt.

Joe Biden, vice president in 2015 and in charge of Ukraine policy for Barack Obama, told the CIA he would "strongly prefer" that an intel report confirming Ukrainian concerns about his family's tied to "corrupt" business operations there "not be disseminated."

And it wasn't.

A report published at Fox News explains that comes from newly declassified emails and records.

The information was declassified by CIA chief John Ratcliffe, who said the details suggest there was a "politicization of intelligence."
