Motown Bombers

John James announced his run for governor. I definitely had things to say in my daily email to James. -I let him know Benson will mop the floor with him -I asked if he was going to campaign on something other than anti-trans -Asked if he will go back to embedding swastikas in his ads like he did in 2018 -I reminded him of the tax money he took to create jobs he failed to create -I asked if he was going to move back to Farmington Hills -I suggested he resign and focus on his doomed campaign and let someone who actually isn't absent represent the district

This is exactly what Trump ran on. He's actually following through on his campaign promises. People like Naziholic didn't want to list to the warnings by Dems because of rare instances of trans girls in school sports.

I emailed John James and introduced him to the person who will be taking his seat in 2026.

I don't have the data, but my sense from reading Tesla forums years ago, is that the shareholders in Tesla are a lot of retail shareholders and not people who day trade or invest for a living. They are very online people and Musk's cult rivaled that of Trump's. They genuinely believed he was saving the world. That is not hyperbole. That is what they were saying on the forums.

So, we have a candidate for MI-10 to challenge John James. Christina Hines announced a run. She's apparently a prosecutor from Washtenaw County. She ran for Macomb County prosecutor and lost. MI-10, however, doesn't include a lot of the redder parts of Macomb County and is more competitive. I still need to do some more background on her. She seems legit. She already has an endorsement from Marlinga. In her Macomb County prosecutor run, she was endorsed by my state rep Mai Xiong who I have been impressed. I even emailed Xiong and asked her if she is considering running for MI-10. Rumors are swirling Andy Levin is going to run, but I will not vote for him. I'm going to look into joining Hines campaign instead of running for something myself.

The Center Line school board has 5 members. Last year, only 6 people ran. The one person who didn't win has an Arab sounding name so that's why she didn't win. I could possibly win by default and install the woke mind virus.

I signed up for Run For Something. I scheduled a conference call for the 22nd. I'll see what they have to say. It says for progressives 40 and under. I just made the cut.

And I’m the one unemployed.

The CEO and management here were touting Trump's de-regulation and took a swipe at Elizabeth Warren who called this merger out. You can see why we need more regulation and not less. None of this had to happen. "The Flagstar class action lawsuit alleges that the offering documents promoting the merger contained materially false and misleading statements, including overstating NYCB's income from operations, goodwill, and total assets, while understating expenses and losses."

Musk's skill has always been manipulating the stock price of Tesla. Tesla has always been junk, but Musk constantly promised innovation that never happened. He keeps pumping the stock. The curtain may have been pulled back on the Wizard of Oz and people see who he really is now.

The selling of servicing rights is common practice. If your loan was a conventional loan, it is really owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. ValuePoint, just services it. They receive a fee to do so, usually like a quarter of a percent and the rest goes to Fannie or Freddie. Batches of loans get sold all the time between lenders. Flagstar sells the loan to ValuePoint, and Flagstar then in turn uses those funds to lend to new customers. Flagstar was a large servicer which was unusually for a bank. Once we tied ourselves to a boat anchor in NYCB, the servicing business was the only thing of value that could be sold so Flagstar is completely out of the servicing business. You can still go into a branch and get a mortgage, but it will then be sold to a servicer. The CEO of legacy Flagstar was in his 70's and already living in Florida. He was the largest private shareholder of Flagstar so when the company originally merged, the stock soared, he got his windfall and went into retirement. Unfortunately for him, the new CEO wiped the stock out and he came back and forced the new CEO out and replaced him with right-wingers. It really is remarkable how quickly the company fell apart after the merger. It was only about a year.

I'm reaching out to the Benson and McMorrow campaigns about job or volunteer opportunities. Maybe it would be better if I became part of a campaign and learned a little more. I haven't seen anyone declare for MI-10 yet.

I do have hot takes. Don't get me started on leftists or Jared Goff.
