That is a bold statement.  Any stats to back it up?  Because, I think you'll be surprised how hard boomers have been hit under the Obama and Biden years.

Boomers saw the value of their homes go up exponentially and automatically assumed they are financial geniuses and have a right to lecture others.
They used the equity to scoop up starter homes and turn them into vacation rentals, forcing young families out of the market.

Now boomers are all like "whats' wrong with 50 year mortgages" and the kids are like "what's wrong with communism"

It’s a stupid idea for stupid people, and the reason boomers don’t care is because they are already set and this is someone else’s problem.

Too Big To Fail needs to fail. We need to go back to free market principles and let the zombie banks die.

If that means real estate loses half its value the so be it. Nobody earned that money anyway. It’s all fake but the social consequences of salting the earth for the next generation are quite real.

Are 30 year mortgages “oligarch slop” as well? Again people don’t have to choose 50 year mortgages if they don’t want it. How can more options be bad?

How do you know what I listen too lol


Okay I realized Ingram put Trump on the hot seat and good for her.

Why stop at 50 year mortages? Why not 100 years? Maybe we could do 15 year car loans next.
It's just more games to prop up a housing market and corrupt financial system that needs to crash.
Boomers soaked up all the wealth and said screw the kids, and if we don't fix it soon we're going to get a REAL communist revolution.

I don’t understand why people are getting crazy over the 50 year mortgages. If you don’t want 50 then don’t do it? However it will help people who want to save a few hundred on their monthly payments, not to mention you can either pay extra to shorten the loan or refinance later when you make more money or when interest rates come down.

Also his reasoning behind H1B visas was explained pretty well on Laura ingrams show. You can’t have billions of dollars of investment into chip factories and expect to pull people off an unemployment line with no experience in chip manufacturing. You need experienced workers to actually show American workers how to be efficient.

Republicans are losing the information war.

That’s oligarch slop from people who want us to be in debt slavery our entire lives and compete with foreigners for low wages.

You need to listen to less Ingram and more Bannon

That shows how deep it goes and with blackmail.  We can say this with a good certenty.  He never took part in the illegal stuff Ep was doing.  Because if he did, the fake news and all would have ran with this years ago. 

The fake news has no low, they make up stories against Trump.  The other fact that they didn't use Ep to make up a story also shows that there are bigger fish in the files and they don't wanna open a can of worms.

It's clear they don't have Epstein leverage on him, but it still doesn't explain his erratic policy shifts.

One minute he's a populist, the next he's hyping some creepy globalist billionaire platform like it's no big deal.

What is that movie?

Night of the Comet

It’s vintage 1980s sci-fi that crosses up Omega Man with Valley Girl while adding just enough horror and suspense to keep things interesting. Great popcorn flick made before all the women in movies became insufferable girl bosses.

There’s a lot of stuff I like about Trump, and I’m super glad that we’re not in the middle of a civil war with Kamalanunism right now, but the past few days really make you wonder who the hell is advising him.

In the last 72 hours he’s been rolling over on H1bs, hyping students from China and tweeting about ridiculous stuff like 50 year mortgages. Meanwhile we’re still fighting a losing war in Ukraine while prepping to invade Venezuela, he’s talking about bailouts for the AI bubble, and instead of banning the covid shots apparently were about to get a whole new industry of mRNA drugs.

It’s almost like he’s throwing a lifeline to the democrats and trying to lose the mid terms on purpose.

We got away with a glancing blow this time. I was kind of hoping it would strangle Skynet in the cradle but that also means widespread grid failures and I'm not really prepared for that. 

Kind of funny how all that stands in between modernity and cannibal holocaust is a well-aimed Sun fart.

Looks like the storm hasn’t made it to G5 severity yet, but as a G4 put on a pretty good show across the country. I checked last night but it was too cloudy. It’s not something we usually see in Hawaii but you never know.

As far as impacts they postponed a rocket launch, but I haven’t heard anything about grid problems so that’s good.

Apparently these kind of storms can also significantly degrade the efficiency of solar panels, but it’s mostly improperly grounded off grid inverters that are in danger.

Details from Grok:

Cannibal CME Arrival Time in HST
The cannibal CME—formed by the merger of leading CMEs from November 9–10, 2025, with a trailing one from November 11's X5.1 flare—is expected to interact with Earth's magnetosphere as follows:

Initial Glancing Impact (Leading Edge): Evening of November 11, 2025, around 6:00 PM HST (1:00 AM UTC on November 12).
This may cause minor effects as the slower CME begins influencing the magnetic field.

Full Merger and Peak Arrival: Midday on November 12, 2025, around 10:00 AM HST (3:00 PM UTC).
The faster trailing CME catches up, amplifying the event into a single, intensified shock wave.

Lingering Effects: Continuing through November 13, 2025, with potential secondary disturbances fading by late afternoon HST on November 13.

These timings are based on NOAA models, which predict a travel time of ~2–3 days from the Sun at speeds of 800–1,200 km/s. Real-time adjustments may occur as the CME nears SOHO/STEREO observatories ~1 million miles from Earth.

Timeline of Possible Negative Effects
The event is forecast to produce G3 (strong) to G4 (severe) geomagnetic storms, with a low chance of escalating to G5 (extreme) if the merger is fully coherent. Negative effects stem from induced currents, particle radiation, and magnetic field fluctuations. Below is a chronological timeline, focusing on global impacts (Hawaii/Honolulu may see minimal direct effects due to its equatorial latitude, but indirect ones like satellite disruptions are possible).

Nov 11, Afternoon–Evening (2:00 PM–6:00 PM)
G1–G2 (Minor–Moderate)
- Minor high-frequency (HF) radio blackouts, especially over Pacific/Atlantic regions.
- Slight GPS signal scintillation (fading) for aviation/marine navigation.
- Early satellite surface charging in low-Earth orbit (LEO).Low risk to public; airlines may adjust polar routes. Monitor FAA NOTAMs.

Nov 11, Evening–Overnight (6:00 PM–6:00 AM Nov 12)
G2–G3 (Moderate–Strong)
- Intermittent HF radio/GPS degradation at mid-to-high latitudes.
- Increased drag on LEO satellites (e.g., Starlink), risking orbital decay.
- Voltage fluctuations in power grids, potentially tripping transformers in vulnerable areas (e.g., northern U.S./Canada).
- Radiation spikes for high-altitude flights; crew/passenger exposure up ~10x normal.Moderate; power operators on alert. Use apps like Space Weather Live for real-time Kp index.

Nov 12, Morning–Afternoon (6:00 AM–6:00 PM)
G3–G4 (Strong–Severe) Peak
- Widespread HF radio blackouts (hours-long) and GPS errors (up to 10–20m inaccuracy).
- Severe satellite disruptions: orientation issues, solar panel degradation, and up to 50% signal loss for comms/GNSS.
- Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) causing power outages or blackouts in northern grids (e.g., Quebec-style events).
- Enhanced auroral activity, but also pipeline corrosion risks from GICs.High; critical infrastructure (e.g., grids, pipelines) to implement protections like grounding switches. NOAA advises staying indoors during flights if possible.

Nov 12, Evening–Nov 13, Morning (6:00 PM Nov 12–6:00 AM Nov 13)
G3 (Strong)
- Lingering satellite drag and radio/GPS issues.
- Potential secondary power grid instability if G4 persists.
- Minor mobile network hiccups from satellite relays.Decreasing; recovery begins as Bt (magnetic field strength) drops below 10 nT.Nov 13, Daytime (After 6:00 AM)G1–G2 (Minor–Moderate)- Residual GPS scintillation and satellite adjustments.
- Full recovery for most systems unless new flares occur.Low; post-event assessments for any damage.
Key Risks for Honolulu/Hawaii:

Primarily indirect: Possible HF radio blackouts affecting maritime/aviation, and brief GPS interruptions for rideshares/navigation apps.
No significant power grid threats (equatorial location shields from strongest GICs).
Satellite-dependent services (e.g., internet via Starlink) could see brief outages.

For live updates, check NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center or the Aurora Forecast app. If conditions intensify, effects could mirror the April 2025 G4 event, which caused temporary satellite anomalies but no widespread blackouts.

The meltdowns mean they are losing and they know it.

But this is also clearly designed to incite violence in their radical base.
