Regulations keep 31.8 million U.S. bedrooms empty during a housing crisis

Zoning laws, occupancy limits, and short-term rental restrictions are keeping housing off the market and driving up costs - Howard

The U.S. is facing a housing affordability crisis, and new data from Realtor.com highlight an often missed contributing factor: millions of empty bedrooms. 

Census data reveal 31.8 million "excess" bedrooms in American homes—compared to just 4 million in 1970. 

Overregulation, particularly in zoning and local occupancy laws, is among the culprits...
But even if homeowners would like to make use of those "guest" rooms, they can run afoul of local laws. 

Research I conducted for the American Enterprise Institute found that in 23 of the 30 largest U.S. cities, there are laws that limit occupants deemed "unrelated," defining a "family" only as a group whose members are related by blood, marriage, or adoption. 

• In St. Louis, no more than three unrelated persons may live together.
• In Sugar Land, Texas, the limit is four. 
• Private homeowner associations may be even more strict. In the Chase Oaks Homeowners Association in Plano, Texas, a "household" can comprise no more than two unrelated persons, though there is an exception for live-in employees...

The final corruption of Joe Biden - Jonathan Turley

The final corruption of Joe Biden - Jonathan Turley 

With only 15 minutes to go as president, Joe Biden snatched infamy from the jaws of obscurity.
With record-low polling and widely viewed as a “failed” president, Biden completed his one-man race to the bottom of ethics by issuing preemptive pardons to members of his own family...
The pardoning of James Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John Owens and Francis Biden brought an inescapable clarity to the corruption of what is known in Washington as Biden Inc...
Biden sealed his legacy with a finality that escapes most presidents. 

While his diminished mental capacity will remain an issue for historians, his longstanding lack of ethics was conclusively established with these pardons. 

• It was Biden’s final act of corruption.
• For a president who liked to call others “lying dog-faced pony soldiers,” Biden proved that, in the world of political corruption, the ponies are entirely optional.

City Elects BLM Activist as Mayor, Is Now Learning Its Lesson the Hard Way

City Elects BLM Activist as Mayor, Is Now Learning Its Lesson the Hard Way: 

Who would have thought that an activist with an organization famous for grifting off of the largesse of donors would get elected to mayoral office and start allegedly grifting with his city’s finances?

Meet Khalid Kamau, mayor of South Fulton, Georgia. He’s also known as “Mayor Kobi” for reasons inexplicable by God or man. According to the New York Post, he brags about being the “first” Black Lives Matter-associated mayor in the country.

Surprise of surprises, he’s accused of a bevy of unauthorized charges on a city credit card totaling over $26,000.

Fauci’s immunity - It looks like Anthony Fauci will be dodging prosecution and accountability for a while longer.

In 2022, Elon Musk famously declared his pronouns were “Prosecute/Fauci,” blaming Anthony Fauci for overseeing numerous policy failures during the pandemic. - Maryanne Demasi, PhD 

If Fauci has nothing to hide, why the need for immunity?

• Misleading Congress - Fauci misled Congress about the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) funding of gain-of-function research.

'I'm asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark!' Trump to issue executive order Monday for popular app * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs

'I'm asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark!' Trump to issue executive order Monday for popular app * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs: 

President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday said he'll issue an executive order once he's inaugurated Monday to help keep TikTok's operations alive in the U.S. "I'm asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark!" Trump posted on Truth Social. "I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law's prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.

"We didn't know!"

 

Biden’s So-Called ‘Oligarchs’ - Victor Davis Hanson - American Greatness

Many things could be said about Biden’s farewell address, but I will limit them to three. 

• In his last address, Joe Biden offered a Parthian shot at “oligarchs” and the dangers these “billionaires” pose to the republic. 
• At the same time, left-wing senators hammered Trump cabinet nominees on the grounds that they would be too complacent in the face of a supposed takeover of the country by Trump’s “billionaires” and their “oligarchy.”

Many things could be said about Biden’s farewell address, but I will limit them to three.

• First, Biden was attempting to copycat the warnings of outgoing president and iconic war hero Dwight D. Eisenhower...
• Second, until November 2024, Biden had no problems with oligarchs...
• Third, quite unlike Biden, Trump is leveraging support from “billionaires,” many of whom have not donated to his campaign and were not previously his political supporters...

Biden’s hypocritical parting shot at “oligarchs” should be filed with his eleventh-hour crazy pardons, his final lies about pardoning his son, and the bizarre edict that unconstitutionally, as some dictator, he could pass a 28th Amendment by fiat: all the sad end of a sadder presidency.

America Optimistic!

Cloud seeding revisited: Can the government control the weather? | Blaze Media: 

This is a follow-up to a previous investigation into the origins of cloud seeding. Read the first article here.

Does the government control the weather? As more people realize that cloud seeding is a long-established technology that many governments have pursued, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that the answer isn’t simply “no.” However, it’s important to understand in what ways and to what extent it does. That said, and with the recent cloud seeding exploration in mind, it’s time to explore the fuller history of weather technology and weather manipulation in the United States.

NYT Poll: Americans Are MAGA Now David Strom

Not everybody in America is doing the Trump dance--yet--but according to a New York Times/Ipsos poll, the majority of Americans support even his most "controversial" policies....

When a policy has majority support, I guess it's hard to call his positions particularly controversial, although admittedly, the opposition to Trump's most MAGA policies generates a lot of heat among those who are committed to the destruction of America, the West, and the transing of the kids...

'Irrational and unjustifiable': Christian banned from military leadership, now all hell breaks loose * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'Irrational and unjustifiable': Christian banned from military leadership, now all hell breaks loose * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

A lawsuit has been filed against Idaho Gov. Brad Little and couple of the state's National Guard leaders for removing a Christian officer from command "solely due to his personal Christian expression on biblical sexuality made outside of the military environment." The action is coming from Liberty Counsel, which has reported on facts of the situation. "The 'No Christians in Command' policy constitutes a religious gerrymander by unconstitutionally orphaning sincerely held religious beliefs while permitting the more favored nonreligious value systems," the case charges. "On its face and as applied, [the policy] lacks any rational basis and is irrational and unjustifiable."

Great fun here, read all!-----I snuck inside "The People's March” to see what the anti-Trump folks are up to and I took pictures of all their signs

I have never seen the media report on a demonstration that I have personally attended that was absent of obvious cherry picking and bias. - Planet Moron
I don't know if it's on purpose, or that Washington journalists are so deep in the bubble that they don't realize how much their preconceived notions have infected their reporting (probably a mix of both), but I have never seen the media report on a demonstration that I have personally attended that was absent of obvious cherry picking and bias.

• This year's "People's March" was no exception.

Here is the photo the Washington Post used to kick off their article on the march, "Thousands rally at People's March in D.C. to protest Trump."...

Biden: After I’m Gone, I Don’t Care What Happens - Clarice Feldman

The French king Louis XV is credited with saying “après moi le deluge,” meaning he didn’t care what happens after he was gone. - Clarice Feldman 

Biden has not said the same, but his actions make clear that he’s perfectly happy to see the country weak and bankrupt and the Constitution torched when he leaves office and Donald Trump takes over for a remarkable second term. 

• The press, which has covered for Biden most of his term, is now trying to hide their obvious airbrushing of the worst president in modern history and stay afloat. 
• While much of the civil service seems ready to sabotage Trump once again, the very thought of Biden’s departure already has brought some welcome changes...

If you paid the slightest bit of attention, it has been obvious for years that Biden, always a mendacious back-bencher hack, was suffering from mental and physical disabilities and was merely a puppet for those pulling the strings...
