Kalapa's USAID cash was DOGE'd

True, as it's not our war. If it was, we'd just do what we did to Germany and Japan until there was an unconditional surrender. From there we had the Marshall Plan to rebuild these places. Since it's not our war, we could always end foreign aid to Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon until they see...

People say Trump's plan to temporarily relocate Gazan's back to Jordan and Egypt, scrape the earth, and rebuild Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East" is impossible. Consider this: Disneyworld is 30,000 acres. Gaza is 90,000 acres, or 3 DW The Irvine Ranch is 100,000 acres. The plan is...

Your Realtor is correct. Your lender is giving poor advice. The issue may only come into play in three circumstances A) If the termite inspection has Section 1 items to repair and the Seller won't do them. 2) If the appraisal report calls out water stains, wood rot, or other issues with the...

A 2016 $1.5m home at the time wasn't really a "rich person's home". Sure, pricy, but not Shady Canyon rich. Having been born and raised in OC, the quality of life has deteriorated significantly with the rapid population growth. Thankfully it's mitigated somewhat with planned communities, but...

StreetView is not your friend here. Wonder how this could possibly appraise given the local comps. Of course if someone is going to park money for a short while, appraisals don't really matter.

"...the solution is DEI..." Was there a gas leak in the room when that statement was made? Find me please an example of DEI that worked in favor of a straight white man or woman over 50. Please - though not a lawsuit forcing that same result - but an actual DEI hire of a SWM/F50+ celebrated by...

...when it's being forced by Government. Sure we have housing, employment, and credit laws that restrict discrimination based on generalized Race, Religion, National Origin, etc, but now we have specific "protected groups" determined by melanin content as measured by Government. If Ivy League...

Afraid to break it to you, but everyone alive today started out "on the other side" The Donald, Musk, you name anyone born into money could have just as easily spun out of control and wiped out. RFK Jr. Is a great example - born of privileged, became a heroin addict, cleaned up and stayed at it...

Life becomes much easier to navigate once you accept the fact that everyone hates everyone else. Human nature has been, and always will be, a beeyotch.. A thick skin, not wallowing in butthurt, standing tall, and walking straight ahead towards earned success is how everyone needs to deal with...

Industry at least for today is under no obligation to have equal pay for equal experience. Unions don't even do that. You have to become an apprentice, then a journeyman, etc before you reach the top pay tier and even then it's a multi year process. Be thankful that doesn't exist. If you switch...

"...cannot be denied is (many) people of privileged..." There. Fixed it. Back to DEI - raise your hand if you are ready to hop on a jet today, knowing full well it will be controlled takeoff to landing by a person with severe mental diminishment... Anyone... Bueller... Bueller...? Just to be...

During President Corn Pops reign, Columbia accepted hundreds of it's citizens on repatriation flights. This was Trump Version 2.0's first time sending Columbian nationals back to Gustavo Petro's narco state. This was simply a Socialist and a Populist measuring their dick size and the Socialist...

Or this one..... https://www.redfin.com/CA/Newport-Coast/26-Faenza-92657/home/4749930 Remember, a $6-$7m OH home also means $1m worth of landscaping and upgrades are in your future. I doubt you'll get a 4 car garage, or views like a NPB home at a similar price, and your taxes will not be so...

Californiahas had its share of droughts and floods for centuries. Many of the original Spanish Ranchos (1700's) had to be consolidated during droughts that wiped out their cattle herds. The Irvine Ranch was a consolidated unit during a drought of the 1800's and the first thing James Irvine did...

$7m in OH is like buying the same home for $5m in NPC/NPB/Laguna, with schools equal to those in Irvine. Sure, the commute might be 10 minutes longer from those locations, but $2m left in your account tends to paper over any commute issues.

On the pardons: Bring each and every one up to Congress for an open hearing. Miley for treason, Fauchi for illegal gain of function research, Cheney for witness tampering, and Biden's brother for money laundering., etc. If they refuse to appear, perjure themselves, claim a forgetful memory, or...

Mars is and will always be a dead planet. With it's magnetosphere wiped out, Elon may land there, but the astronauts aren't going to live long or prosper given the radiation levels. Would a Mars trip broaden our science? Sure, but I'm with IHO on this one. Fix what we've got first here on...

....at the right price. The ID Buzz from VW fits the bill, but $70-80k?? Not going to happen. The market needs a $35-45k kid hauler

The paint should have read "HOA approved", and the palette was the original builder's approved colors. I will update the post shortly. The original was "salmon" (gotta love the early 90's), then a very light yellow (blegh) then a dusty greyish color - not white, not grey just terrible...
