We were there for Kav’s confirmation, and security for that alone was high. Capitol Police with rifles and dogs. Keep in mind the House wasn’t in session then.

The entire idea that unarmed citizens could overrun security is a farce. Anyone who has ever visited the Capitol knows this, and the doors that many people went through are only able to open from the inside.

While POTUS can declassify pretty autonomously, I can understand why the legislature would require a vote. Otherwise anyone with access could release whatever they wanted and it could be a disaster.

Any time there’s disagreements between people in the same party, it’s worth paying attention. I usually find it encouraging that they’re not all marching in lockstep.

re: Portable mortgages

Basic rundown: "Instead of taking out a completely new mortgage, you use the money raised from the sale of your property to pay off your existing mortgage and take out a new mortgage on the same terms with your existing provider to cover the cost of buying your new home."


I’m not saying this would be impossible, but it would be damn near impossible. It would require derivatives or other instruments to offset rate changes from the original mortgage to the prevailing market rates. And it would require buyers of the mortgages to agree to all of this.

And what if rates drop? Would buyers just forego the portable mortgage for a new one altogether?

All upside for buyers and all downside to lenders. If it sounds too good to be true…

The Treasury chief said a $2,000 rebate check proposed by President Donald Trump that would be funded by tariff revenues would be for those earning less than $100,000 per year, but no decisions had been made.


This is anything but conservative.

What actually happened


Access to information and who controls it.

I’m for a pro Israel relationship as long as the financial and military pieces make sense.

Social media has let a lot of people with every level of information and differing opinions leave impressions on a lot of followers. Some are extreme in varying directions. I’ve never seen this level of antisemitism or anti Israel sentiment before.

Most are paid off or refied within 10 years, which is why they index the 30yr fixed off of the 10yr treasury.

You had me thinking that this was from this weekend, when that cover is from June 2025, making it even worse that this guy got elected.

Tough question: What’s worse, that he believes this, or that enough people still voted him in after he said this? Probably the latter.

They’ll never give the power back once they take it.

Leave it at 60 and make them work it out. The last thing I want is a parliamentary system where simple majority rules everything.

They’re all in bed together and valuations are based on incestuous cash flows being realized before they materialize. There’s a lot of speculation on anticipatory cash flows.
