Let The Greedy Bank Bastards (Borrowers) Live In Apartments

I remember the days of Section 8 and how impossible it was to get on the list and to the top of the list. How long would it to get a certificate? It would take about 8 years, so that’s probably why it was called Section 8–just kidding.

But seriously, I was able to go to college and become a science teacher, plan B, only because I was able to get into a Section 8 building with my two kids.  The government was really stingy with money for poor folks in need of decent housing. One reason, there were huge projects in places like Chicago where poor black people could live and pay almost no rent with small checks and food stamps.

That’s all gone folks. So, is it any coincidence that housing is the  big whale that is pulling down the ship?

During the 60s and 70s when whites could go to a bank and get a loan and blacks could get kicked out or laughed out of the same bank, what was cooking was a great inequality in this country.  Ask me, would I buy a home in a black urban area…don’t think so.  I bought a home in a non black area, but it is not all Anglo either. Mainly because the value of the homes don’t go up in black areas.

What about people who bought huge homes or near mansions when they knew damn well they could not afford it? Remember the rule of 30% of your income toward housing? That’s the rubric I grew up with. So do the math if the home costs $400,000 you want but can’t afford, even with a fixed rate around 6% you would still have to cough up $4,000 a month.

If a couple both work and make over six figures, combined then what could they afford:  let’s say taking home about $8,000 a month these people CANNOT afford a $4,000 a month home, just the mortgage would be at 50% plus upkeep and bills. So that couple should have been buying a home closer to $200,000! Greedy bastards! Now, we have to pay?  Hell no, if you lose your abode that you are asking us to pay for, we don’t care, read my lips, if you end up in an apartment  that’s too bad, because that is probably all you could afford in the first place.

Hell no, we won’t pay! People are buying homes that were over overpriced in the first place. Greedy homemakers who used illegal aliens to make 100K homes into 400K homes. Bottom line goes something like this–the US gets nationalized banks because they don’t know what the hell do with money, without oversight they are robbing the banks blind…simple math…take away a billion or two and you are in the hole. Nationalization will come because of greed and lack of oversight.

60-Second Review: The Changeling

The Changeling is set in late 1930’s LA, where racism and crime are rampant.  Black people , brown people and women know their place and it’s not equal to white men.

Angelina Jolie has been nominated for best actress for her role as a telephone skating supervisor. She is the mother of a boy who gets snatched. The crooked LAPD try to pawn off a phony child, they paid to impersonate her son. She’s not buying it. It turns into a film about the very crooked LAPD, surprise there. Much of the movie brings down this monster and shows how Colllins played a role in bringing them down.

It was based on a true story and had a few twists and turns. Collins played by Jolie turns out to be a crusader for human rights after fighting for the rights of her son. This fits Jolie to a T, this role. The movie was a bit too violent for my taste. It is almost 2 and 1/2 hours so it is nice to watch on DVD from home.

She won’t win Oscar, sorry Angie, for this  Oscar-worthy performance. 

The wounded mother fits her, much  better than the wounded wife ala Marianne Pearl in A Mighty Heart, which I hated.  Heart seemed like a movie about having Angelina over for dinner every night.

 The Changeling is a better film, where one sees Jolie subsuming herself for the role a little better than in other roles. She won’t win, but it was good enough to win in a year where she is not up against Kate Winslet.

The movie is rated R for violence and adult themes and is disturbing, but it seems to have been a part of the real story. Does that make gratuitous violence okay? Well, don’t ask me.

As for the film–beautiful to look at and director Clint Eastwood is a pro. He adds nice touches musically with the soft jazz playing in the background. And I love the bungalows and the Craftsman homes in LA neighborhood where the story is set. Here’s an interview with Eastwood and Jolie.

Monkey Metaphor Runs Amok at New York Post

With all the metaphors in the world, and the big bucks media folk are making–why are they making monkey metaphors? A monkey shot dead by a policeman because he was trying to get into his squad car after he mauled a woman! The officer did the right thing, but has the New York Post? I don’t think so.

It’s not really about rank racism with this cartoon but with the implied “black face” racism that goes with a monkey, being shot dead by a policeman no doubt. Then there are the real black people who get shot dead by policemen for no reason, or apparently no reason. There is still outrage over that.

Should black people be outraged at this?

I think so, because Post people are being paid to come up with original, imaginative metaphors to explain the world to lesser mortals. The depiction of a monkey being shot dead offends, and offends a lot of people.

What were those monkeys at the Post thinking? Sure white people wrote the bill in Congress but it was a black president who signed it and who is taking credit for it. An easy leap from the pages of a newspaper to a polemic headline! However, it was on page 12 of their paper.

Al Sharpton does not speak for all black people but he does speak for some. Perception is reality so if you feel offended then you are offended and an apology is in order.

If you listen to the ugly 911 call the woman owner of the chimp made it is chilling. She  was calling for the cops to shoot him dead because she can’t hold onto the chimp any longer and thinks he killed her friend. Now, why open old wounds like this?

Clintonian Theater–The Globe

Hillary Clinton lands in Japan, then Jakarta, Indonesia where she was met by students who adored her and also by women (at another stop) who posted signs about her.

She too is a traveling salesman these days. They make quite the yin-yang couple as Heloise predicted they would in some way. I thought she would be the VP but this is actually a better more powerful position.

Can she stop the war that is going to break out like a rash of severe acne near northern India, Pakistan and Aghanistan? That is what I see to be the trouble spot based on a vision I had years ago when I saw India broken up into maybe 5 areas or kingdoms. Clinton expressed concerns about the region when asked and told what Pakistan was up to. Sneaky Pakis! I have spent time in the Punjab region, not far from where the hot stuff is happening, and it seems so damn peaceful there. Looks are deceiving in Asia.

 Can Clinton get it right?

It was a new map that I saw for India from whatever happened, that whatever is probably a huge war involving many millions somewhat as the Bible predicts, but not exactly.

I see what I am  calling baby nuclear war set to break out after one country loses a whole bunch of military and a whole lot of face.

Take heart mother nature/God will kill us off first

That may sound funny coming from a scientist, but it’s true, the evolutinist don’t want  you to know that.

From my understanding as a scientist there is nothing that humans or man can make that matches God’s arsenal. What nature/space create is singularly more powerful that what man can kill us with. I mean man cannot throw a huge comet or meteor at earth at 30,000 mph and hit, man cannot make a tsunami wave or a hurricaine Katrina (although some believe we did).

So take heart in that, God will destroy what he has created not man. So, DO you have a tough job Mrs. Clinton? Hell yes,  now that you are on the global stage. It’s a role, act well, save us if you can!
