[Low cost vs affordable housing is available in the re-introduction of ‘carriage houses’.  The folks in Noblesville, Indiana are discovering that “these units cost considerably less than single-family dwellings and create accessible points into and out of homeownership while preserving neighborhood character. They also have the potential to provide rental income to help property owners afford their mortgages.  Few cities and towns are immune from rising material costs and expensive land. But we control zoning and permitting. We should expand housing options without compromising community character.” gjr]

    A lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein, David Schoen, has addressed speculations suggesting the disgraced financier had some dirt on President Donald Trump. According to TMZ, Schoen revealed that Epstein told him he did not have any dirt on Trump and that he would have used it if he did.
    Schoen said, “What I can say definitively is that I discussed this subject with Mr. Epstein at a time when it would have been in his best interests to implicate others, and he made clear that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and that he had no damaging information against him.”

    It is not clear what constitutional authority Newsom has to withhold federal taxes on behalf of individuals, businesses, and other entities within the state. Trump’s authority to withhold funding is far clearer.
    A tax revolt by California would recall the “nullification” doctrine popular in some Southern states before the Civil War. It could also trigger a tax revolt by Californians against their own state taxes, which are very high.

    If Trump was able to deport all the illegal immigrants there would be a huge labor shortage. Who would do these jobs?
    “More than 20% of construction workers are undocumented, and the percentage is even higher in specialized roles such as drywall and ceiling tile installers, over one-third of whom are believed to be undocumented. In areas where construction workers are in high demand, such as California’s wildfire-damaged regions, the labor shortage created by deportations would hit particularly hard.
    Agriculture would also face significant worker shortages: 40% of crop farmers lack work authorization, according to government estimates.”

    The real world hits calis feckless dems –
    Trump deploying California National Guard over governor’s objections to LA to quell protests
    President Donald Trump is deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops over the governor’s objections to Los Angeles where protests Saturday led to clashes between immigration authorities and demonstrators.
    The White House’s move to dramatically ratchet up the response came as protests in Los Angeles extended into a second day where tear gas and smoke filled the air as protesters faced off with Border Patrol personnel in riot gear.
    In a signal of the administration’s aggressive approach, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth threatened in a post on X to deploy the U.S. military.
    “If violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert,” Hegseth said.
    Trump federalized part of the California’s National Guard under what is known as Title 10 authority, which places him, not the governor, atop the chain of command, according to Newsom’s office.
    The president’s move came shortly after he issued a threat on his social media network that said that if Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass didn’t “do their jobs,” then “the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!”

    US citizens, probably at a somewhat higher wage. They also wouldn’t steal social security numbers, be so likely to drive around without insurance, use free state health care, give some states more Representatives in the House than they deserve.
    It’s going to be some work to unwind the evil doings of a generation of Democrats and big business Republicans. Naturally, in-group preference is going to lead to lots of excitement in places like Southern California as Mexican nationals riot around with Mexican flags while pushing for more Mexicans to move here or stay. Of course, the worst thing to someone waving a Mexican flag is ever moving back to Mexico.
    Naturally, it would never occur to a minstrel that maybe US citizen roofers and concrete workers need jobs. Think outside your bubble for a minute psul. Some people actually earn their daily bread in a useful manner.

    …as a side note to those of us who actually give a damn about their countrymen, there’s a strong argument to be made for repatriating a whole bunch of people.
    Over the next few years, odds are you’ll see a bunch of jobs disappear due to widespread adoption of AI, improved automation, robots, etc. Short of borrowing a bunch of cash and putting everyone on welfare, what do you do?
    Answer: Remove all the illegal construction workers, yard service people, H1B engineers, economic immigrants of all sorts. Bring in the bare minimum.
    Things will get strange for a while, and unlike ‘progressive’ thinkers, it’s probably best to favor the citizens of your country. That’s why they invented the things after all.

    Dunno what ‘whitewash’ means exactly, although it’s probably just another way for white people to bitch about white people (white being Anglo and Northern European Americans I guess, Greeks being more taupe). Having anti in-group notions at such a gut level is odd, but activist progressive thinking is just one more thing for younger people to hate boomers for, you sure run into it a lot on social media.
