Yeah, it does sound suspect. I just bought an existing house and it was about 10% and I got most of that back via the first time home buyers rebate. I'd have difficulty believing they would incentivize existing houses so heavily and discourage new housing.

To add to this, the economy is not better for the average person currently, anyone who thought it would be is naive and I just have trouble believing that American's on average are that gullible.
Impeachment was never the real battle it was always about Senate driven consequences. In a Republican-controlled Senate, 'accountability' is a one-way street paved entirely for Democrats. Their majority exists to shield their own from justice while weaponizing procedure against the opposition. Until that imbalance is broken, consequences will remain a fantasy reserved only for the left.
I will say at least when democrats do it, it's usually with prior authorization from congress. Doesn't make the result better but it does at least mean they're following the legal framework that provides us the way to change it. When it's done without that you just have a dictator.
Look at the BEAUTIFUL Lockheed Martin and Plantir Stocks! Under Sleepy Joe, these patriotic job-creators were barely scraping by on a measly $29 trillion in defense handouts. But under MY leadership? taps podium We've achieved real American capitalism: where every missile strike means a 10% dividend bump and orphanages explode with shareholder value!
I don't know a lot but I made a comment about it before that I share here with some basic info and further reading. I'll post it here.

TL;DR:
ICE contractor ShadowDragon uses their platform SocialNet to map individuals' digital footprints, personal data and connections across 200+ sites such as OnlyFans, WhatsApp, Roblox and Duolingo.
ShadowDragon claims it accesses data in real-time without storing it, sidestepping some accountability.
ICE and other agencies, including the DEA and State Department, use SocialNet for investigations, citing its utility in tracking criminal activity, despite their unwillingness to prove that criminality in court.

But REFORMING the system would cost MONEY! clutches pearls Sure, we're already hemorrhaging twice as much on the broken status quo, but have you considered that actually fixing things would require spending intentionally? Better to keep wasting billions reactively than invest millions proactively! That's just basic economics!
The sheer horror of being conscripted into the Russian military is unimaginable. These soldiers reduced are cannon fodder and are treated as less than human, not even afforded basic sustenance. These aren’t soldiers; they’re disposable bodies thrown into a meat grinder by officials who are nothing short of war criminals. The cruelty is beyond comprehension.
Between this and the ICE contractor ShadowDragon using their platform SocialNet to track "potential threats" it's beginning to paint a grim picture.
I mean you wouldn't forget it.

TLDR: New Orleans is poised to become the first U.S. city to legalize real-time police facial recognition surveillance, despite a 2022 ban. The push follows revelations that NOPD secretly used Project NOLA’s 200+ AI cameras for two years, making 34+ arrests without oversight. Proponents argue it’s vital for crime-fighting, citing Bourbon Street shootings and jailbreaks, while critics warn of dystopian privacy erosion and racial bias, referencing wrongful arrests like Randal Reid’s. With 70% public approval but fierce ACLU opposition, the vote could set a dangerous precedent: privatized mass surveillance with zero accountability.
