    Seems they shot the tennant because she had a gun after the tenants/neighbors called police for someone banging on the tenants door.

    Somehow I think you would have not shot wildly thru the window

    Some of us have kids and grandkids that we like to watch play sports and we can figure out who the boys and girls are. This is easy meat for republicans. Why concede the moral high ground on a winning issue?

    A basic life lesson is that you generally get to steal one time from individuals with some common sense. Like Delaware, New York just posted a no business investment sign wanted at their border.

    Major investors pull business from New York City following Trump verdict

    ByPeter CordiFebruary 21, 2024 1:21 pm

    Prominent investors have signaled their intent to halt their business in New York following the $355 million verdict in former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case.

    Real estate mogul Grant Cardone announced on Tuesday that his firm Cardone Capital would no longer underwrite New York real estate, one day after Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary vowed to no longer invest in the state as a result of the verdict.

    “Immediately discontinue ALL underwriting on New York City real estate,” Cardone ordered his firm in a post on X. “The risk outweigh the opportunities at this time. Recent political decisions will continue to deteriorate price and benefit states that don’t have these challenges. Focus on Texas & Florida.”

    The Sell or Be Sold author explained his decision on Wednesday in an interview with Fox & Friends.

    “When that [Trump] ruling happened, it was like, ‘Pencils down,'” Cardone said. “‘Don’t touch it. Don’t go there.'”

    Judge Arthur Engoron ruled on Friday that Trump must pay over $355 million for conspiring to alter his net worth to receive tax and insurance benefits. Engoron’s verdict additionally bars Trump and his sons, Eric and Donald Jr., from doing business in New York for three years.

    “We invest for 14,000 investors at Cardone Capital that depend on cash flow,” Cardone said. “And if I can’t predict the cash flow because of some ruling, or because of the migrants, or because I can’t evict people, New York City just keeps doing every single thing they can to sell real estate in Florida, not sell real estate in New York.”

    O’Leary called New York “a loser state” and told Fox Business on Monday that he “would never invest in New York now, and I’m not the only person saying that.”

    “This award, I mean, just leaving the whole Trump thing out of it and seeing what occurred here … and I’m no different than any other investor, I’m shocked at this,” O’Leary said. “I can’t even understand or fathom the decision at all. There’s no rationale for it.”

    This is before all of the additions/renovations/construction Trump did on the property

    Sounds like residential real estate is bad

    Actually have enjoyed several recent new streaming series. Generally avoid the in your face wokeism of say Bridgerton which looks like it was generated by the AI Google Gemini.

    Oh No! Viewers Are Tuning Out Hollywood's Newer TV Series In Favor of Just Rewatching Old Shows Over and Over Again

    —Disinformation Expert Ace

    Buhhhhh whyyyyyyy?!

    The new shows are so much more Diverse and do so much Work for Trans Visibility.

    Are you telling me that the public does not consider hardcore propaganda and social engineering to be entertainment?


    The most streamed show last year wasn't the latest Netflix reality TV show craze. Nor was it the highly anticipated final season of "Succession" or the debut of "The Last of Us."

    According to Nielsen, the most minutes last year -- more than 57 billion -- were spent watching "Suits," a legal drama that premiered 12 years prior.

    The show, which is available to stream on Netflix and Peacock, stars the former actress Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, and likely has her to thank for its second life. But "Suits" isn't the exception.

    Old shows, which debuted over a decade ago, dominated the top streamed list of 2023. Several of the programs, including "Suits," "Gilmore Girls," and "Friends" have been off the air for years.

    According to Nielsen, the most streamed acquired shows of 2023 were: [table omitted, but the shows are Suits, Bluey (Disney's only highly rated show, and they don't produce it, they merely license it), NCIS, Gray's Anatomy, Cocolmelon, The Big Bang Theory, The Gilmore Girls, Friends, Heartland, and Supernatural].

    Many of these shows also have a persistent nostalgia factor. The New York Times recently described "Gilmore Girls" as "an endless buffet of TV comfort food."

    Oh, as opposed to the "daring" "quality" shit that streamers produce themselves?

    Maybe the incredible shift from favoring talent and experience in the writers room, to favoring simple quota-driven diversity, might have something to do with the rejection of newer shows:
