no physical injuries, noted. Dude should earn a callsign out of this, no?

CH with his Blackstone: (Admin Note: I uploaded the video for ease...) Every Guy With A Blackstone.mp4

If you're still in the 6s...no huge rate drops yet but slightly moving down. Every loan is a little different (credit score, property location, loan amount, VA disability or not and what the market is doing), but I'm knocking out no cost streamline refi's for people as the numbers support it. Here is a one pager and example of one closing this week for anyone interested. So everyone understand it we pay for all the third party costs so for them it was $4,717 so it's completely free of a breakeven. That is the total of section B+C+E on page 2. They were only responsible for prepaid interest for the amount of days in left in the month from when they close because they skip their 1 Sept payment which still nets them ahead. You can see their new loan amount is basically identical to the payoff of their old loan (page 1 loan amount vs page 3 payoff). All they did was finance in the prepaid interest but they could have paid that in cash if they’d prefer. They waived having an escrow account (not required with us) but one can be created if they had wanted one. If so then the current escrow balance gets refunded in cash if they have one too. No tricks or scams. We're in the business of originating as many loans as we can especially for prior clients because relationships matter as a word of mouth business and we build a lot of goodwill doing these. I can then rinse and repeat this for them as rates go down more in the future. If you'd prefer not to restart at 30yrs (most people do) I can keep the same payment but shorten then loan duration down (prob shave 3-4yrs off or so). Hit me up if you're interested or want to get on my radar for future market dips. Jon 850-377-1114 https://tridenthomeloans.com/irrrl/ No Cost IRRRL.pdf No cost IRRRL Example.pdf

"Hogging" the inside of a unattended hat was a big practical joke in AFSOC...same in the CAF?

I honestly don’t understand the implication here. “Power move?” How so? Trump: “Hey look, we have B-2’s and F-35s.” Putin: “yeah, I know. Cool.” Is the implication supposed to be “watch out, cause we just might use these against Russia?” Putin knows there’s zero chance of that happening. Besides, I think he’s probably much more worried about drone swarm attacks, like the kind that took out most of his bomber fleet, than he is about fat Amy. This is classic Trump. Using the military as a symbol of strength to try to mask his weakness and ineffectuality. Putin is going to get Ukrainian territory out of this, and Trump is pressuring Zelensky to surrender it to him asap. But yeah, cool air show. “Vlad, look at these static display F-22’s. Badass, huh? …..Now, go enjoy the Donbas.”

and Hegseth?

Yes, and both. Assuming these illegal criminal invaders are humans, then yes. The 5th amendment states that “No PERSON shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law…” and the 14th amendment states “…nor shall any State deprive any PERSON of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any PERSON within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.” It doesn’t say “citizen”, it doesn’t say “legal resident”, it doesn’t say “American”, it doesn’t say “English speaking adult” or anything other descriptor. It says PERSON. So these PEOPLE have a right to due process; in your example, this would actually determine if they are in fact “criminal” and/or “invaders”. And it was decided in Plyler vs Doe (1981) that according to the Supreme Court, “Whatever his status under the immigration laws, an alien is a ‘person’ in any ordinary sense of that term.” Further in the court documents reads “Aliens, even aliens whose presence in this country is unlawful, have long been recognized as ‘persons’ guaranteed due process of law by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.” If you don’t like it, then get the law changed - but until it changes, I would expect people who take an oath to the constitution to follow it as currently written/interpreted.

I hope Hegseth puts some real effort into restructuring our acquisitions process. That could pay huge dividends for decades to come if done right.
