Odds & Ends

Bidenomics also known as Obamanomics, at work.  Homebuyers need to earn 80% more than in 2020 to afford a house in this market. It’s not just due to high mortgage rates. Factors beyond high mortgage rates are affecting housing affordability for many Americans, according to experts.

Almost four years ago, a household earning $59,000 annually could afford a new mortgage without spending more than 30% of their monthly income and with a 10% down payment, according to a recent report by Zillow Group. That is no longer the case today.

“Since January of 2020, the typical mortgage payment on the typical home in the U.S. has nearly doubled,” said Orphe Divounguy, a senior economist at Zillow.

Nowadays, potential homebuyers need to make about $106,500 a year in order to afford the typical home today, an 80% increase from January 2020, according to Zillow.

The Democratic party is against home ownership.  People might become independent in their thinking.


Canada is becoming a home to authoritarianism.  Trudeau has proposed a law that would allow for life imprisonment for hate speech crimes.  Currently the term of punishment maxes out at 5 years for a speech crime.  Trudeau wants to change the max to life in prison.

Then there is the bill that would give judges the power to place an individual under house arrest if someone fears they might commit a hate crime.

That’s right – might. It’s right out of The Minority Report, Philip K Dick’s 1956 dystopian tale of a future America in which a ‘Precrime’ police division uses intelligence from mutants known as ‘precogs’ to arrest people before they’ve committed an offence. Welcome to woke Canada, where Dickian nightmares come true.

The motto for Canada should be, “Welcome to Canada, where freedoms disappear one day at a time.”

Let’s be reminded that taking away freedoms are tried out in Europe and Canada first.  Then those restrictions on freedoms are imported here.  The TikTok ban is one step in the process of removing freedom of speech.


Eric Adams, NYC’s embattled Democratic mayor, has been accused of sexual assault from an incident back in 1993.  The accuser filed a summons Wednesday night under the Adult Survivors Act – the same law that allowed E. Jean Carroll to go after Trump 30 years later.

Adams has earned the disfavor of those on high because of his opposition to illegal aliens.  Those in power are letting him know that he needs to toe the Democratic line or they will come after him with bogus claims just as they did with Trump.

Adams is also under federal investigation.  The FBI seized Adams’ cellphones and 2 iPads amid a federal corruption investigation related to his 2021 campaign.

The Feds are focusing on text messages suggesting Adams helped fast-track approvals from the city Buildings Department and Fire Department for the Turkish government’s headquarters in New York City, according to the New York Post.

This is everyday behavior for a government that has been weaponized against anyone and everyone who will not bow down and kiss the jackboots of those in power.
