Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

MSM is all over this.
Yep. Watched a guy who studies cartels say that "all the people bitching about Venezuela not producing any fentanyl so they aren't traficking it" crowd needs to realize they only make about 8% of the cocaine they traffic. Venezuela is just a pass through for drugs and humans... but it's all state sanctioned.

US housing market activity may be resurging:
Pending-home sales jumped +3.3% MoM in November, well above expectations of +0.9% increase.
This marks the 4th-consecutive monthly gain, matching the longest streak seen during the 2020 pandemic.
Contract signings improved across every US region last month to their highest levels of 2025.
The West posted the largest increase, followed by the South, the nation’s largest home-selling region.
As a result, the Pending Home Sales Index is up to 79.2 points, the highest since February 2023.
Homebuyer activity is regaining traction.

Global capital is betting on America, and the numbers are impossible to ignore.
Foreign private investors are buying U.S. assets at a ~$1.65T annual pace, up nearly 40% from last year.
Equity inflows are surging, Treasuries are in demand, and corporate bonds are seeing strong overseas buying.
This is strong, confidence-driven allocation by sophisticated investors looking 12–24 months ahead.
When stocks, Treasuries and corporate bonds all see heavy inflows together, the data quietly signals:
• U.S. growth looks resilient (no recession on the horizon)
• American institutions remain solid
• Global alternatives don’t measure up
A rare combination that points to a strong setup for the U.S. economy.
America's Last Line Of Defense
4,209 New York City police officers resigned effective the moment Zohran Mamdani was sworn in.
"We waited as long as we could for some assurances that he wouldn't try to bring communism to our city," said Police Union President Ron Jobear, "He wouldn't sign a pledge, so we can't keep working."
The walkout means nearly 10 percent of New York's police force has vanished in the blink of an eye.
This is what you voted for, New York.

Because Democrats brought so many Somalis to Minneapolis, remaining in political power there now requires patronage to the demographic. They are heavily dependent on public assistance, and welfare fraud is endemic in their communities. Their version of Islam is fundamentalist and extreme, with little girls usually required to wear both head and body coverings. Female genital mutation is also endemic to their cultural practices.
In June 2025, Mayor @Jacob_Frey
released an official video in Somali condemning the U.S. government's efforts to restrict incoming migration from Somalia. This is the same mayor who oversaw (managed) the burning of Minneapolis during the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots. http://ngocomment.com

The original is crazy with the narrative. Btw the charges were eventually dropped against the perp… well this is California so the perp is the gas station owner Sikh shown giving the beating. A coworker is friends with him and was telling me about this when the video originally went viral. I just laugh every time I see this,
Looks like we have Maduro and his wife.

Which video are you referring to? I probably didn’t see it.
I have come to the conclusion in recent years that the state of Israel is not our friend. Took me a while to mend my mind to this as I grew up with a lot of great Jewish people and my BIL is Jewish and also a great person. I had to separate Israel from the Jews that I know and care about. Once I did that, it became much easier to see. I know that Israel has A LOT of influence in our govt, but to call them our master, I’m not 100% convinced of that, yet.
An Iranian called Goldie, that's one I wouldn't expect
Better be really accurate in a population like Caracas
