raumdeuter:Yeah, should be easy enough to take the bet then. I don't speak on something unless I have confidence in it. Like Bemeruca, lying seems to be your default position. SPLC was indicted in a conservative area, so there will be a conservative jury pool. So, it should be easy to convict SPLC right? So, take the bet and prove you have confidence in the propaganda you post here. IjeBos: |

raumdeuter:Not my style or class. Genuine friendly working class neighbors like myself is satisfactory but if these billionaires are happy building/buying these modern day palaces/mansions and living in various locations (like many 9ja politicians) then bully for them. I couldn't do it knowing there is homelessness and hunger in the world. I've only seen pics of Mr. Ketamine with only one of his (alleged) 15-20 kids in recent years and that one lacked home training for the whole world to see in real time.

bemeruca:So not posting what you made up actually proves the thing you made up? Maga Logic Your post is a whirlwind of stoo-pu.d which makes sense given the author. But serious question about this thread from some of the older posters. Has there been any conservative posters with average or above average intelligence in this thread? I don't think I've read any post from one. There are a lot of intelligent non-conservative posters here, posters who seem read and as if they've thought through some of the things they post. But it's odd I haven't met one conservative who doesn't peddle in memes, lies, cognitive dissonance and illogical propaganda. Seems like there are too many conservatives who choose to squat here, who can't compete intellectually so spend their days, making themselves feel better emotionally by lying and promoting propaganda. |

basilico:Greetings Oga basilico. Thanks for the info and response on your personal viewpoints. I've haven't heard about leftist leaning politicians wanting to return to the high tax the rich days of former Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower that taxed the wealthy a record 91%. Ditto Harry Truman. At least those Presos built world class infrastructure and the modern interstate highway system. I give Republican Preso Ronald Reagan credit for bringing tax rate down to manageable levels. Too bad he has Iran-Contra on his history record. Cocaine for weapons. "During the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961), the highest marginal income tax rate was 91 percent.This top rate applied to individuals earning over $200,000 in taxable income, or married couples filing jointly with income over $400,000. In terms of 2015 dollars, that threshold was equivalent to roughly $1.7 million for an individual and $3.4 million for a couple. Top Rate Consistency: The 91 percent top rate held for almost the entirety of Eisenhower's two terms, staying consistent with the tax structure inherited from the Truman administration." |

For my buddy @basilico One couple's Miami/NY adventure. Real Estate My wife and I returned to NYC after 2 years in Miami. The cost of living skyrocketed, and we missed the seasons. As told to Robin Madell https://www.businessinsider.com/moved-from-new-york-city-miami-back-got-too-expensive-2026-4 Elhanan Harel and his wife moved from NYC to Miami in 2021 to run a COVID-19 lab, seeking lower costs. Miami offered cheaper living at first, but rising costs and a new baby made them start to miss home. The Harel family returned to NYC in 2023 for better wages and day care options. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Elhanan Harel, a 29-year-old business owner from New York City. It's been edited for length and clarity. My wife and I moved from New York City to Miami in June 2021 and spent two years there before recently returning to New York. We moved for survival. Our NYC business, a lice treatment company, took a major hit when the pandemic began in 2020, so we relocated to Miami, where I ran a COVID-19 testing lab for two years. Initially, it was exactly what we needed. Instead of living in a one-bedroom in Brooklyn for $1,770 a month, we lived in a Sunny Isles condo on the ocean with an extra bedroom, a beachside pool, and a gym for $2,000 a month. In Miami, we didn't have to pay an HOA fee or for internet — they were included in the condo price. The only thing we paid extra for was water. The cost of living was initially half of NYC's for things like groceries and insurance In Miami, we bought a lot fewer groceries because in NYC, you don't have any Walmarts, so you have to go to five different places to do your shopping. Walmart was a lot more convenient and cheaper. The salaries in Miami are lower than what you make in NYC. Before I started my lice-treatment business, I was a paramedic, and based on my research, paramedics in NYC made $35 an hour, compared to Miami's average of $20 an hour. Car insurance was a lot less in Miami — I paid $550 a month in New York for car insurance, and in Miami, I paid $130 a month. Also, it cost less in Miami for us to lease a car. Miami was a dream for a young couple It felt like a great move for the first two years we were there. After we had two kids, the dynamic shifted. Our first child was born in July 2022, and we started paying about $600 a month for day care. While the cost for private day care is expensive in NYC, there are a lot of home-based day care programs in my neighborhood that cost around $500 a month. Plus, NYC offers free transitional kindergarten programs. Having a lot more free community programs for day care was a big factor in our moving back to NYC. Plus, landlords saw that a lot of people were moving to Miami, so they started to increase their rent prices. After two years, our rent went from $2,000 a month to $2,800 a month. We moved to a different area after we had our baby — Coconut Creek, a little farther north — and there wasn't much shopping there. We would go to Trader Joe's and Costco, but the costs went up a lot when we had kids, with shopping for clothes, baby food, and formula. We found ourselves missing NYC There were pros and cons to both cities. We loved Miami's active, outdoor lifestyle, beach access, and high-end gym culture. The commute wasn't too bad, especially when you're looking at your view on the way to work. You see the palm trees and the sun on the weekends, you go to the beach, or you hit the pool, and it almost doesn't feel real. We found the social scene in Miami to be vibrant, though very different from Manhattan. As a young couple, the nightlife in Miami is something else. There are a lot more young people in the Miami scene, which was refreshing when you're younger, trying to connect with people, make friends, or join a social club. People tend to be friendlier in Florida. The environment in Miami is definitely more relaxed — everybody's almost in vacation mode. You show up to work in a T-shirt and shorts, not business casual. Another thing my wife really loved about Miami is that there are parking lots; in New York, if you have to find parallel parking, you might be looking for 30 minutes. In the end, we moved back to NYC for three main reasons. 1. Extreme summer humidity and hurricanes The summers in Miami were brutal, with humidity, hurricanes, torrential downpours, and unpredictable tropical storms. When you have a baby, it's pretty rough when it's 90 degrees outside from May to October. We had to mostly go out at 6 p.m. when it would drop 20 degrees. The weather is also very unpredictable. You'll be in a torrential downpour out of nowhere, then five minutes later, it'll be sunny like nothing ever happened. 2. Lack of seasons Miami has incredible winters — we definitely didn't miss the brutal cold in NYC and its horrible winters. We loved living with the palm trees, but my wife is from Toronto, and the perpetual heat, with no fall or winter seasons, eventually became a drawback for her. My wife and I like the seasons more. 3. Dramatic spike in cost of living while our wages stayed flat The cost of Miami became a major issue. By the time we left in 2023, the cost of living had increased so dramatically that the financial advantage had almost entirely evaporated. I didn't make more money, so our margins for saving for the kids, especially for schooling, took a hit. We realized we'd have more opportunities if we went back to NYC. The minimum wage went up in New York, and so did a lot of the wages. We moved back to the same area we lived in before in October 2023. We save money on food costs now by getting everything from Costco, and we're able to put $2,000 more away each month for our children. We don't have any regrets about our move to Miami It was a vital move for our family and business at the time. The sun was definitely nice, but we're happy to be back in NYC — when we left, we closed the entire lice-treatment business, but it's now back to its pre-2020 levels. We plan to stay in the NYC area until our kids are at least five.

One more Chairman @basilico South Florida doesn't have a viable infrastructure system in place and the one inter-county train (similar to NYC's five boroughs) is about to file for bankruptcy. " As of May 2026, auditors have raised "substantial doubt" about Brightline’s ability to continue operating due to severe financial pressures, with experts noting that a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing or restructuring is a possibility if the company cannot secure new funding. Key Financial and Operational Pressures (As of May 2026) :High Debt & Losses: Brightline is struggling to manage over $5 billion in debt and posted a net loss of more than $230 million in the last year. Liquidity Crisis: Auditors indicated that the company lacks sufficient liquid cash to meet upcoming debt obligations. Bond Downgrades: Credit rating agencies have downgraded Brightline's bonds to "junk status," and S&P Global stopped rating them. Missed Payments: The company recently negotiated a temporary, emergency extension with bondholders for interest payments due in mid- February, which now has a grace period expiring on June 15, 2026. Rescue Efforts: Brightline is actively seeking third-party investors and attempting to restructure its debt to avoid a formal bankruptcy filing. What's Next? While ridership has increased, it has not grown fast enough to cover costs. The company is actively looking to raise fares, cut expenses, or sell a portion of its business to stay afloat, reports note." |

Meet Miami’s 13 Richest Billionaires Thanks to a recent billionaire wave from the West Coast, some of the world's wealthiest will soon call Miami home. By Naomi Feinstein March 17, 2026 https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/miamis-richest-billionaires-13110173/ Transportation No One Wants to Live in Miami-Dade Anymore, Apparently Except the rich? By Naomi Feinstein April 8, 2026 https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/no-one-wants-to-live-in-miami-dade-anymore-apparently-40537612/ While billionaires are migrating to South Florida in droves to flee tax legislation on the West Coast targeting the ultra-rich, it appears others are doing quite the opposite. In 2025, Miami-Dade experienced the third-largest population decline among U.S. counties, trailing only Pinellas and Los Angeles counties, according to new U.S. Census Bureau data. Between July 2024 and July 2025, the population fell by 10,115 people, from 2,812,144 to 2,802,029. Miami-Dade is still the seventh-largest county in the U.S. and the largest in Florida. The census data reveals that Miami-Dade County’s population is shrinking largely due to a decline in international migration — at a time when President Donald Trump is aggressively cracking down on illegal immigration and legal immigration pathways. Overall, the Census Bureau found that population growth slowed in most of the nation’s 3,143 counties and in Washington, D.C., from July 2024 to July 2025. “The nation’s largest counties like those in the New York metro area are often international migration hubs, gaining a large number of international migrants and losing people that move to other parts of the country via domestic migration,” George Hayward, a Census demographer, said in a press release. “With fewer gains from international migration, these types of countries saw their population growth diminish or even turn into loss.” Once again, Miami-Dade County saw the highest net domestic migration of all Florida counties, meaning more people left Miami-Dade than moved in between July 2024 and July 2025. More than 72,000 people moved out of Miami-Dade, according to the data. Perhaps residents have had enough of the traffic, affordability issues, and the lack of public transit. Former Miami Mayor Francis Suarez’s famous “How can I help?” tweet from 2020 only helped seemingly recruit the crypto bros, the rich, and the tech world to Miami-Dade, rather than the average person. As people flee Miami-Dade County, several billionaires have either snatched up property or relocated their businesses here. The newcomers include Palantir CEO Alex Karp, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Top U.S. Counties by Numeric Decline: Los Angeles County, California: -53,934 Pinellas County, Florida: -11,834 Miami-Dade County, Florida: -10,115 Queens County, New York: -8, 852 Orange County, California: -8,520 San Diego County, California: -5,294 Shelby County, Tennessee: -5,212 Kings County, New York: -4,694 Dallas County, Texas: -2,616 Ventura County, California; Bernalillo County, New Mexico: -2,580 Florida Domestic Migration: Miami-Dade County: -72,254 Broward County: -29,517 Orange County: -20,271 Hillsborough County: -15,620 Palm Beach County: -11,953 Pinellas County: -9,203 Collier County: -2,337 Monroe County: -1,931 Leon County: -1,279 Seminole County: -1,016 Naomi Feinstein is a staff writer of Miami New Times where she primarily focuses on news.

raumdeuter:He got lucky sneaking in to the US via Canada and investing his dad's emerald mine into the US stock market during the Bill Clinton administration. Don't forget he and his brother left SA broke and estranged from their dad. We'll discuss his dad another time. His tribe in South Africa is still suffering. Many of the ones that falsely claimed genocide want to return home. " An increasing number of South Africans who recently moved to the U.S. under a specialized 2025 asylum program are choosing to return home, driven by dissatisfaction with American life, high cost of living, and safety concerns. While thousands had sought refuge in the U.S. citing, as described in a Feb 2025 executive order, "unjust racial discrimination" in South Africa, many now find better quality of life and economic opportunities back in South Africa. Key Reasons for Returning to South AfricaCost of Living and Quality of Life: Many returning South Africans cite a better lifestyle, lower cost of living, and more affordable healthcare compared to the U.S.. Disillusionment with the U.S.: Some cite safety concerns within the U.S., including gun violence and the atmosphere under the current administration, as reasons to leave. Disappointing Refugee Experience: Reports indicate some South African refugees felt left to "fend for themselves" in unsuitable housing, prompting a desire to return. Cultural Connection: The desire to be closer to family, friends, and the familiar culture of home is a significant factor Trends and Data Reversing Flow: Recruiters have noted a surge in enquiries from South Africans wanting to leave the U.S., with some reports suggesting a 70% increase in those looking to return home. Citizenship Reclaim: Approximately 12,000 people have checked a government portal to reclaim South African citizenship, with many leaving the US-led refugee program. "Reverse Brain Drain": While some South Africans are returning, many continue to work for international companies remotely, contributing to the local economy The trend highlights a complex, often reconsidered, move for those who initially sought to leave South Africa's high unemployment rate (with reports highlighting significant disparity, such as 35% for Black people vs 8% for white citizens) and economic challenges, only to find the realities of living in the U.S. equally or more challenging. _____________________________________ " Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, has fathered two children with his former stepdaughter, Jana Bezuidenhout.

Hot, Hot ... Trump gave this supporter and low budget rapper a presidential pardon and even invited him to a Mar-a Lago dinner. ![]() Rapper Kodak Black arrested in Orange County on drug trafficking charge ORLANDO, Fla. — South Florida rapper Kodak Black was arrested Wednesday in central Florida on a drug trafficking charge, stemming from a 2025 investigation. According to an arrest warrant prepared by an Orlando police officer, the rapper, whose real name is Bill Kapri, faces a felony charge of trafficking in MDMA. The arrest stems from a November 2025 investigation by Orlando police after officers responded to reports of gunfire near Children’s Safety Village on Fairvilla Road in Orlando. According to the warrant, officers arrived to find several people gathered around two vehicles, including a BMW SUV and a Lamborghini SUV. Police said officers smelled burnt cannabis coming from the BMW and conducted a search of the vehicle, where they found cannabis and a pink pill that tested positive for MDMA. During the investigation, Kapri, 28, who is currently living in Fort Lauderdale, approached officers and watched the search, the warrant states. Investigators later searched the Lamborghini SUV and reported finding suspected narcotics, cash and firearms inside the vehicle. According to the warrant, officers discovered a pink bag containing a substance later identified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement as MDMA, along with about $37,000 in cash and documents bearing Kapri’s name. The warrant states investigators also compared items found inside the vehicle, including a bag and lighter, to images posted on Kodak Black’s Instagram accounts. Authorities said FDLE officials later confirmed the substance recovered from the bag was MDMA, weighing approximately 25 grams. The rapper and others at the scene denied that the bag was theirs, however when he was informed that there was money in the bag, Kapri tried multiple times to have officers hand him the cash, saying it belonged to his business, the warrant stated. Based on the investigation, Orlando police sought a warrant charging Kapri with trafficking in MDMA between 14 and 200 grams. Kapri is expected to appear in court Thursday afternoon. ____________________________________ "The United States of America President, Donald Trump Favorite Rapper Is Kodah Black. Back in 2021, Donald Trump used his presidential power to commute Kodak Black's prison sentence in 2021. Successfully, the clemency was granted on January 19, 2021, which was Trump's final full day in office.
