I have been a landlord for ten years and I manage 41 residential and commercial office units in Tompkins County. About 2/3 of these are low or moderate income residential. I currently employ three full time staff. I became a landlord because I wanted to work on converting existing buildings to not use fossil fuels - I made the capital in the first place in the tech industry not by real estate investing. I also have significant bank financing. When I started, I greatly under-estimated the challenges of being a landlord and have been in an intense learning process. I...

Since November of 2022, this publication has published dozens of articles critical of Tracy and calling on him to resign. And last June, 30 organizations representing over 80,000 conservative grassroots activists from across...

Another quid pro quo for quid pro Joe? Anthony Fauci’s new book has granted the public more detail concerining the truly impeccable timing of Pfizer’s mRNA Covid-19 vaccine trial data rollout. We already know that Pfizer decided to inexplicably delay publishing the results of their mRNA trial from October 2020 to right after the election, following public and private efforts to prevent President Trump from being granted an “October surprise” that would’ve been helpful to his campaign. In retrospect, the shots were nothing more than junk genetic material. No lives were lost in delaying the distribution of these failed science...

Hypersexualized ‘pride’ parades function as humiliation rituals and an excuse to push sexual deviancy in people’s faces.Warning: This article contains sexual imagery.It’s that time of year again. The time when, for 30 seemingly never-ending days, rainbow flags (or whichever new convoluted color-coded version they’ve conjured up this year) take over entertainment, corporate logos, and the streets of cities across the country. Not even ruby-red states can escape the influence of “Pride Month.”The centerpiece of this debauched revelry is the “pride” parade. Now there are so many of these in the U.S. that some outlets feel the need to rank them,...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec This is how Jake Tapper, next week’s debate moderator, reacted to the 2020 results: He called the Trump presidency a time of lies, cruelty and inhumanity “For tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long national nightmare is over”
