Pelosi is a disgusting slob.

Kid researched that!

How about a moratorium on you being an ass?

Much better to quibble about CNN headlines.

The wealthier homeowners are feeling the effects of the mishandling of the Trump Virus.

What has been largely overlooked are the mounting problems of wealthier homeowners with jumbo mortgages. They have also been slammed by the lockdowns.  According to Black Knight, 11.8% of all jumbo loans were in forbearance as of June 16.  That is more than double the rate as recently as April.  In a mid-June MarketWatch article, the CEO of Caliber Home Loans stated that 42% of their customers who requested a forbearance were self-employed.  Keep in mind that the CARES legislation did not say anything about jumbo mortgages.  Lenders were under no obligation to offer forbearances to any jumbo mortgage borrower. 

Read: These homeowners are seeking mortgage forbearance and their reasons why say a lot about the economy

Jumbo lenders have been quick to notice that the lockdowns of state economies due to the COVID-19 panic were negatively impacting homeowners with jumbos. Most lenders sharply cut back or even stopped offering cash-out refinancing.  Interest rates quickly climbed above those for conventional loans. For example, Wells Fargo WFC, +0.22% — the largest provider of jumbos — limited jumbo refinancing to customers who had at least $250,000 in liquid funds parked at the bank. Some non-bank lenders have ceased providing jumbo mortgages completely.

Why are jumbo lenders so rattled by the impact of the lockdowns on wealthy homeowners? After all, the widely accepted view was that higher paid employees and freelancers shifted to working from home and have avoided massive firings or furloughs.

This is simply untrue. Freelancers and highly paid contract workers in almost every industry have been hammered by the lockdown. For example, the Los Angeles metro area has one of the nation's highest concentrations of skilled freelance workers. Recent California figures put the area's unemployment rate at 21%. 

Even more important for lenders, many homeowners with jumbo mortgages are owners of small businesses, which have been devastated by the lockdowns. While unemployed workers have benefited by the $600 a week bonus that continues to be paid at least through the end of July, this supplement has made it extremely difficult for business owners to lure workers back to their jobs when they can earn more by staying home.

Trump in a major policy initiative calls for washing hands!

Have become a big fan of Joseph Lister.   Amazing man.   Beautiful man with some amazing new ideas!   Deep staters hate him.   Crooked Hillary,  not saying if this true,  but many people are saying she had him killed!   No one knew.   Democrats don't want you to know about him.   Invented Listerine.   His name was Joe,  but he wasn't the sleepy kind.   Microbes are so bad.   They don't want you to know.  Everyone covered in them all the time.   Sad and evil.

According to my sources Dr Birx spent an hour before today's PC briefing the president on the benefits of soap and hot water and a thorough scrubbing. Lets hope it was time well spent and the President and Dr. Birx don't have to do it again tomorrow.

---Florida's governor just can't seem to get it right on coronavirus---

Another speech on the need to open schools. The only reason is to hide the ineffective response to c-19?
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/21/politics/ron-desantis-florida-coronavirus/index.html

If tere's a face of the botched handling of coronavirus in the United States -- other than President Donald Trump, of course -- it's that of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The Sunshine State's seven-day average of cases is at more than 11,000, according to The New York Times. More than 5,000 people have died because of the virus in Florida


YES.  We MUST blame the leaders.

Fuck Cuomo
Fuck Murphy
Fuck Newsom

uh huh.

zzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks for the link

Beautiful presser today - very informative.

Beautiful presser today - very informative.

Evidently, there is no reason for us to not discuss China. It was a whim.

[facilitatorn]

Beautiful presser today - very informative.

Yeah. Gavin Newsom is one excellent leader. I’m very glad to have him fighting the problems the federal government causes. He definitely gave a good presser.

Shame trump is such a laughable piece of shit with a defective mind and terrible communication skills. The nation could use something better than Putin’s puppet in the White House right now.

I request a moratorium here on mentioning China.

Is that just China or all countries that roll trump over and make him their bitch?

I’m asking because I was going to post something about Panama and want to know if Panama falls under the moratorium.
