Personal attacks are not going to be allowed here. In my post yesterday about landlords, user Hedge posted this comment:

Idk. I kind of like that idea. What do you have to hide as a landlord? Seems fair. Asshole wont fix a damn thing. Wants to raise the rent cause college is in? Last tenant had a fucking pig in the back yard. Fuck that. People ought to know and it’s coming so sell or get ready.
And yes I do work for a large property management company in a college town for 10 years .

Fuck landlord scum. It’s all about the money so shut up and spend it or get out of the game fags.

First, let me explain to you how renting a house works. The lease lays out exactly what the landlord will do, and lays out what the tenant will do. That lease is a legally binding contract. If it says the property owner has to fix something, he does. If it doesn’t say so, then he won’t. Once that contract is concluded, that property owner is free (in most states) to charge whatever he thinks the market will bring.

As a landlord, I will tell you that the house I am renting is a large investment. That quarter of a million dollar purchase price isn’t the end of it. My insurance went up by 15 percent this year. Taxes went up by 10 percent. Landscaping costs are up another 8 percent. On top of that, I have to price increased risk into my prices.

As an example, one property company in Milwaukee filed 850 evictions in two weeks. Why? Because the eviction moratorium prohibited them for over two years, meaning that as many as a third of their tenants owed as much as $17,000 in unpaid rent, with the total being $5 million in lost revenue. That money has to be made up somewhere, and that means higher rent.

As to Hedge the commenter, I want to point out to you that back in June, you were bragging about how you are making a 6 figure income selling weed while calling bloggers a bunch of beggars who keep talking out of our asses. Maybe you should use some of those huge profits to buy a house, instead of bitching about how the man is ripping you off. As a business owner, I am sure you understand about pricing, costs, and profit.

Then you decided to come after me for getting the vaccine, even though I plainly said:

I felt it was best for me, so I got it. That may not be the same with everyone. Each of us has the same right to decide what medical care is best for us. Not everyone has the same medical situation, and there are no one size fits all solutions to ANY medical situation. You do you, and I will do me.

This blog, like my rental property, is owned by me. I pay for it, and I decide who gets to use it. Since you have decided to call me scum, you are cordially invited to fuck right off. Three times of personal attacks is two times too many. Hedge, you just earned yourself and your entire IP in Norman, Oklahoma a ban.

Let’s say that you want to borrow a quarter of a million dollars. The bank has you fill out an application and checks your credit. Do you ever ask the bank to prove that they are nice guys?

As a property owner, when a person wants to borrow my $250,000 house, I have them fill out an application. If an applicant ever demanded that I do likewise, I would assume that he was going to be a major pain in the ass and toss his application in the trash. That, according to the article, means

As if you needed any more proof that landlordism is the scum of the earth (sorry not sorry), a TikToker has revealed the wild response he got when he asked a real estate agent for a landlord reference…

Good and normal system we have! Where you basically have to beg someone to live in their spare house! While knowing that as someone under the age of 50 you will never be able to buy one (1) house of your own!

So because she can’t manage to buy a house and I am willing to invest my savings and loan her one, that makes me ‘scum of the earth.’ She goes on to say:

Honestly, this is a fucking baller move and ten out of ten way to figure out if a future landlord is a raging anal blister instead of a human being.

No wonder she can’t manage to be responsible enough to buy a house, or even get the references needed to rent one.

I also Google my applicants. Kathleen Farmilo is never renting a house from this anal blister.

Some Americans are upset that the Chinese government is pulling journalists from the air if they report on things that the government doesn’t want reported on.

Isn’t this what the American people want? After all, it’s what they are trying to do to Joe Rogan, it’s what happened to Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and others. It’s what YouTube, Facebook, and the NBA are doing.

So what’s the difference?

A student at a Pittsburg university wrote about his school’s pronoun policy, denouncing it in an article on Red State. Here is the policy:

Any individual who has been informed of another person’s gender identity, pronouns, or chosen name is expected to respect that individual. Point Park University fosters a community of inclusivity for every member at the institution. Misgendering, continued misuse of an individual’s pronouns, or using an individual’s deadname after being informed of a chosen name could result in a violation of the Policy on Discrimination and Harassment for gender-based discrimination.

So if you call someone by their legal name you can be disciplined. If you use proper English, you will be disciplined. A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Pronouns exist so that you can refer to an object without having to name it. Having to learn and remember each person’s preferred and personal pronouns completely destroys the need for pronouns in the first place. Why not simply refer to everyone by name?

Still, the nutcases demand that we bow to their demands. Refusal to do so, according to them, is literally violence. Literally. If I refer to someone who looks like a woman by using the pronoun ‘she’- according to the insane left- I am committing a violent act which makes legitimate the use of force in self defense. Check out this clip to see what I mean:

They claim that this is because transgender women (men who claim to be women) who are also black have the highest rate of violence perpetuated against them. This is because of math. Since the number of black men who believe themselves to be women is so small, any act of violence against one of them has a disproportionate effect upon the RATE of violence.

If there are only two cats in my neighborhood, and one is struck by a car, the RATE of cats being struck is 50 percent. If there are 200 dogs in my neighborhood, and 90 of them are struck by cars, the RATE of dogs being struck is 45 percent. That doesn’t mean that cats are more likely to be struck by cars, it means that the one who was struck was a statistical anomaly.

Regardless, that wouldn’t give me the right, if I owned a cat, to declare that driving a car near my cat was an act of violence which allowed me to shoot everyone who drives a car near my house. This is why I remain so opposed to so-called hate crime laws. It should be illegal to commit an unprovoked assault upon another person. It shouldn’t matter WHY I committed the assault. That isn’t how “hate crimes” work. To declare that a person who assaults another because of some characteristic is somehow more heinous than a person who commits the assault for no reason at all is ridiculous and leads to one inevitable conclusion:

It allows any person who possesses that characteristic to use it as a cudgel to subjugate anyone with whom the disagree. “You only disagree with me because you are xxxphobic.” This is what the entire cancel culture has become- using some claimed characteristic as a sword with which to attack your enemies.

The problem here is that there is also only one possible outcome from the course that is being followed here- this all inevitably ends with real violence. One or both sides will eventually move to use actual violence to prevail and eliminate the other.

New Yorker who moves to Daytona hates Florida because it isn’t New York.

Prarie1 commented on my post about housing and rent. He said:

Who would pay that much in rent??? That’s almost double my mortgage for 10 acres with a house and shop.

The explanation? Inflation, the eviction moratorium, investors, and escape from New York. All four of these things are driving an incredible increase in housing prices: both sales and rentals.

• First, inflation. The dollar is simply worth less because you had the government shoveling cash into the economy with a metaphorical front end loader. More cash chasing the available housing means your housing dollar doesn’t go as far.
• Next, the eviction moratorium. Being a landlord now carries significantly more risk than it did before the year and a half that landlords were forced to allow tenants to live in rental properties for free. Many landlords dropped out of the business. The ones who stayed began to raise rents in order to recoup losses caused by the moratorium.
• Then there is the escape from New York (and other restrictive states). After being locked down for months, many people from more restrictive, northern states have figured out that, since they can work remotely, Florida is a great place to buy a second (or even third) home. Taxes are low, housing is relatively cheap, so they are buying up property like you wouldn’t believe. This has the effect of reducing supply, and driving up prices, mostly because they are paying too much for houses without even realizing it, because they still think it’s a bargain when compared to NY prices.
• Then there are the investors. These are large companies who are watching the prices of real estate skyrocket and are buying up entire neighborhoods.

All of these factors are driving prices up to unbelievable levels. I was shocked in October when I did a review of area rental rates so I could adjust my rates for 2022. The average rental price had increased from about $1600 per month to around $2500 per month in just a year’s time. That’s a 56% increase in just a year’s time.

This nurse here in Miami saw a 40% increase in rent in one year’s time, and Miami’s rents were already high, meaning that they didn’t increase as much as some other areas in the state, such as Tampa or Orlando. Here are the cities with the largest growth in rent in the past 12 months, according to ApartmentsList:

1. New York City, N.Y. – 33.5% rent growth
2. Tampa, Fla. – 31.4% rent growth
3. Scottsdale, Ariz. – 31.1% rent growth
4. Orlando, Fla. – 30.1% rent growth
5. Mesa, Ariz. – 29.5% rent growth
6. St. Petersburg, Fla. – 29.3% rent growth
7. Irvine, Calif. – 28% rent growth
8. Phoenix, Ariz. – 27.9% rent growth
9. Glendale, Ariz. – 27.5% rent growth
10. Las Vegas, Nev. – 27.4% rent growth

If rents continue to increase at a rate of 32 percent per year, you can expect rents to double roughly every two years. (a $1,000 rent becomes $1,320 in one year, then becomes $1,745 at the end of year two) This is exactly what is happening.

Buying a house was similar. There are houses in the area that sold for $235,000 in 2019 and just sold again in 2021 for $325,000. The price of the house increased by 38 percent in less than two years.

So if a rent seems unreasonable, that’s because our real estate market is being warped and stretched by government interference. That is having the effect of driving up prices. So what do governments do? Interfere in the market some more, that’s what. Look at what the UK is doing:

Private landlords in the UK will be forced by law to bring their properties up to a set of national standards. Landlords will need a license. If a property fails to meet standards for maintenance, energy efficiency, and a minimum standard for fixtures and fittings, the landlord loses his license. Nearly one in five families in the UK are renters. What do you think this will do to rental prices in the UK when landlords are forced to lay out a large amount of money to meet the new, more stringent standards?

Expect to see a push for this here in the US.

The Constitution defines only two crimes. One of them is treason:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

So if this woman is convicted of what the authorities claim she did, then she should be convicted of treason.

I awoke this morning to find an email in my inbox from the Florida Department of Health. In that letter, Florida healthcare providers find a notice that the FDA has revoked the EUA for all monoclonal antibody treatments used in treating COVID.

January 24, 2022
On January 24, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reissued the emergency use authorizations (EUAs) for Eli Lilly’s bamlanivimab-etesevimab (administered together) and Regeneron’s REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) monoclonal antibody treatments, which states these treatments are not authorized for use in any U.S. state, territory, or jurisdiction at this time. The full FDA press release can be found here.

Corresponding revisions have been made to the authorized fact sheets for bamlanivimab-etesevimab and REGEN-COV. These fact sheets are available of the FDA’s website.

As a result of the reissued EUAs, health care practitioners in Florida are no longer authorized to administer these monoclonal antibody treatments to patients, effective immediately. Further, all state-supported monoclonal antibody sites are closed effective immediately due to the abrupt change from the FDA.

Resources for emerging treatments can be found at HealthierYouFL.org. Pharmacies that have received allocations of antiviral treatments can be found at FloridaHealthCOVID19.gov.

The full Florida Department of Health press release can be found here.

This is important, because to this point, monoclonal antibodies were the only effective treatment for COVID.

Politico even recognizes that this is a political decision. The Biden administration has been in a constant state of conflict with the DeSantis crowd for the past few months over the monoclonal antibody treatments. Biden was purposely directing the treatments to states who voted for him, while denying them to states that didn’t.

So DeSantis simply signed an agreement with the manufacturers to buy the drugs directly from them. The the Governor announced in December that the state of Florida would be giving the treatment free to anyone in the state with COVID.

The Federal government claims that the monoclonal antibody treatments don’t work, but that a new pill from Merck does. So, they ask, “Why is Gov. DeSantis more interested in promoting medicines that don’t work than urging people to take vaccines that do?”

To that, I ask: If the monoclonal antibodies didn’t work, then why did the Biden administration cut off supplies to Southern states in order to supply northern states? Just in August, the Feds were saying

“Four different monoclonal antibody treatments have been granted Emergency Use Authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have proven largely effective at preventing hospitalization and death from Covid-19. The treatment developed by Regeneron, for example, reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 70% in studies. “

Let me tell you what this really is: We have a President who has a 33% approval rating and obviously cannot run in 2024 with a snowball’s chance of winning the election, even with massive voter fraud. He may in fact, wind up being the first President ever with single digit approval ratings.

So the remaining field looks like this:

For the Democrats, polling indicates that Harris’ approval for President is 35%, compared to Michelle Obama’s 16%, and AOC trailing at 7%.

For the Republicans, Donald Trump would win against either Harris or Biden. That is going to be taken care of with criminal charges. Before 2024, the Democrats are going to convict Trump of something that will prohibit him from running.

If Trump isn’t in the mix, DeSantis received 30%, Pence grabbed 24% and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz nailed 14%. In a race between Biden and DeSantis, Biden has a 42% to 36% lead, but DeSantis is a virtual unknown to voters outside of Florida. Once a campaign begins, he would gain significant support. In fact, DeSantis has been gaining support for months.

Therefore, DeSantis must be eliminated from the race if the Democrats want to tilt the election in their favor. Taking the wind from his COVID sails is the entire point of cutting off monoclonal antibody treatments.

COVID is a political weapon. It has been since the beginning, and will continue to be. The left will stop at nothing to win elections and get more power. They are going to use every tool that they have: biological warfare, violence, and voter fraud. All of it. They will not stop until they have complete and total control of this country.
