The Primary-Residence Scam: Here’s Why James, Schiff, Cook, and Swalwell’s Mortgage Fraud Cannot Be Tolerated
by Joel Gilbert Nov. 17, 2025 8:00 am

*** begin quote ***

Allowing lies about occupancy hides this elevated risk.

How about down payments? Primary residences may require as little as 3-5% down, while second properties are often 20-25% higher.

When someone misrepresents a second home or investment property as their primary residence, they distort the lender’s assessment of risk.

The bank thinks they are issuing a safer loan than they actually are. In reality, they are being exposed to the elevated risks associated with investment properties including higher vacancy rates, greater likelihood of strategic default, and more volatile cash flows.

If this deception is tolerated, the pricing model for mortgages collapses. The lender cannot correctly measure risk, and without accurate risk assessments, the cost of lending rises for everyone.

Make no mistake, primary-residence fraud is theft. Lying about primary residence constitutes mortgage fraud, a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 1014. Penalties may include federal felony charges, up to 30 years in prison, fines up to $1 million, and civil liability, including treble damages.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but I feel little sympathy for politicians and bureaucrats who commit mortgage fraud.  As someone, who has had multiple homes and multiple mortgages, I ALWAYS played by the rules.  And, suffered bigger down payments, higher interest rates, and more expensive insurance rates.  I think the legal distinction between: domicile, primary residence, other residences, multiple homes, and “vacation” homes as arbitrary and confusing.  (I also object to paying property taxes on a home where I can not vote how money is spent, but I can sure pay those taxes from which money is spent.)

The politicians and bureaucrats, who are always in the top tier of wealth, should be held to a standard like Caesar’s wife.  And, when they fall afoul of the laws they created, they should be judged and punished harshly.  

Equality under the law for everyone; not just us “little people”!

That goes for insider trading too!

RANT: Border Czar Tom Homan Delivers a Perfect Response

WATCH: Border Czar Tom Homan Delivers a Perfect Response After Catholic Bishops Blast Trump Admin for Carrying Out Mass Deportations of Illegal Aliens
by Cullen Linebarger Nov. 15, 2025 7:30 am

*** begin quote ***

As The New York Times reported, the United States’ Conference of Bishops sharply rebuked the Trump Administration over its mass deportation policy of illegals during the bishops’ annual conference in Baltimore.

In a statement, the bishops slammed the Trump Administration for creating “a climate of fear,” vilifying illegals, and not granting lawbreakers access to pastoral care.

*** end quote ***

Funny, I don’t remember them criticizing the Biden Administration for “cages”, or human trafficking.  Or, when Obama deported people.

Perhaps, because there was a financial incentive to the Catholic Church to “resettle” immigrants, their opinion was swayed?

Tom Homan reacts to Catholic Bishops on immigration: “I’m saying it not only as the Border Czar, I’ll say it as a Catholic, I think they need to spend time fixing the Catholic Church.”

Yup, spot on!

14-Year-Old Kentucky Boy Shoots and Kills Two Home Invaders With His Father’s Handgun

The two men have since been identified as 44-year-old Roger D. Smith and 51-year-old Jeffrey M. Allen.

Smith was taken to hospital but succumbed to his injuries, while Allen was pronounced dead at the scene.

Manchester Police Chief Jeff Couch told NBC News that the boy was on his own at the time of the incident.

FAFO

Exceptionally good shooting under stress.  

Two ne’er-do-wells have been forcefully retired.  Wonder what their rap sheets look like.

VETERANS: John Chapman Snubbed by National Medal of Honor Museum; why?

Wednesday, February 5, 2025

Medal of Honor Legend John Chapman Snubbed by National Medal of Honor Museum

by Margaret Flavin Jan. 27, 2025 11:00 am

*** begin quote ***

The National Medal of Honor Museum has refused a stand-alone exhibit of Medal of Honor legend John Chapman when it opens in March, and the decision is being criticized harshly.

The Museum will have 200 exhibits detailing the personal stories of MoH recipients, but Chapman will not be one of them. 

David Hookstead from Outkick reports that Chapman, an Air Force combat controller with the 24th STS, was killed in March 2002 during Operation Anaconda in the Battle of Takur Ghar.

He died alone on a mountain, fighting to protect his fellow warriors.

*** end quote ***

Why is the national medal of honor museum leaving John Chapman, an air force CCT, out of their exhibit? He was the only medal of honor recipient to ever have his battle filmed via ISR feed. 

Is there ANY logic to this?

Who are the honchos in this museum and who are its donors?

Argh!

POLITICAL: Who Is Running Our Country?

Monday, July 1, 2024

WAYNE ROOT: The Important Question Isn’t “Who is Replacing Biden?” The Life & Death Question We Should All Be Asking Is, “Who Is Running Our Country?”

by Assistant Editor Jul. 1, 2024 8:30 am

*** begin quote ***

First and foremost, “Who is running the country?”

That’s the question of the century. We now know it isn’t Joe Biden. It was never Joe. So, who is minding the store? Who has run the country for the past four years? Who is running the country right now? Who is making life and death decisions that affect the lives of every American?

Who is running our economy? Who is protecting our Homeland? Who is commanding our military? Who makes decisions about WW3? What if Russia or China attack tomorrow? Who is in charge?

Who has their finger on the nuclear button? Who will respond to a terrorist attack?

Who made the decision to leave our border wide open, and welcome in tens of millions of illegal alien foreign invaders? Who benefits from that decision?

Who decided to persecute Trump and rig trials against him?

Who made the decision to use the DOJ and FBI to persecute the J6ers and torture them in prison?

Who made the decision to force-vaccinate every employee in America through the OSHA mandate? Has Big Pharma bribed the whole government? Does Big Pharma run the FDA and CDC?

And if my prediction has been right from day one…and it’s always been Barack Obama giving the orders, making the decisions, and running the country as the de facto President of the United States…

We have an unelected, unConstitutional, “Manchurian Candidate” running America. 

*** end quote ***

I agree that this is the MOST important question!

We know that Woodrow Wilson and FDR were infirm at the end of their terms and that wives were running things or were at least thought to be running things.

Time for a Constitution amendment establishing an upper age limit for politicians and bureaucrats.  

I’d suggest that it’s the Social Security full-benefits retirement age!  In addition to term-limits for every elective office.

Argh!

NEWJERSEY: How does Gym Owner Defying Gov. Murphy get his rights, life, and stuff back?

New Jersey Court Throws Out 80 Charges Against Brave Gym Owner Defying Gov. Murphy’s Tyrannical Lockdown Orders: “Suck My D—k Phil Murphy”
by Jim Hᴏft May. 19, 2024 10:01 pm

*** begin quote ***

Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, has achieved a monumental victory. A New Jersey court has dismissed all 80 charges against him, charges that stemmed from his bold decision to reopen his gym in direct defiance of Democrat Governor Phil Murphy’s tyrannical COVID-19 lockdown orders.

The saga began in May 2020, when Smith reopened Atilis Gym, challenging the Murphy administration’s mandates, which he and his supporters argue are unconstitutional and detrimental to small businesses.

The confrontation escalated in July 2020 when police officers forcefully arrested Smith after he continually violated the state’s shutdown orders.

*** end quote ***

It’s not fair for the Taxpayers to have to reimburse him for his losses.  Murphy should be personally responsible!

Let’s really put some teeth in this ruling!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Seems like Georgia WAS stolen in 2020

BIG NEWS! Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote Win Lawsuit in Georgia Against Stacy Abrams, Marc Elias, and Fair Fight Org! (VIDEO)
by Jim Hoft Jan. 3, 2024 7:45 am585 Comments

*** begin quote ***

Several weeks ago, True the Vote published a short paper titled The Aftermath. Written as part of a broader collection of our recent work in Georgia, The Aftermath addressed the impact Georgia’s dirty voter rolls had on the 2020 election and a meeting I had in 2020 with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his team, where we discussed True the Vote’s plans to assist Georgia citizens in challenging ineligible voter records.

*** and ***

Little more than two weeks later, on January 2nd, 2021, Secretary Raffensperger and members of his staff had a call with President Trump and members of his team. On that call, President Trump asked about inaccurate voter records. Both Secretary Raffensperger and General Counsel Ryan Germany stated that they had fully evaluated the various claims of election irregularities and said without qualification there was no evidence to support them, including no problems with the voting records. This statement was knowingly false. Both men were well-aware of that falsity at the time.

*** end quote ***

So, in addition to ignore their duty to clean the voter rolls, they lied to the sitting President.

Surely, there must be some criminal statutes for them to be prosecuted under?

If not, then we are in a sinking ship of state.
