This situation illustrates exactly why we need a true Republican leading the GOP instead of the joker who, for five years, led us into the wilderness of bully politics. Now is the time for all true Rule-of-Law Statesman to come to the aid of their country.
I am amazed by the message of the rent story. What about all of the people who have worked, saved and built their retirement on real estate? They own rental units for which they cannot collect rent because the government will not allow them to properly manage their properties. There should be an action against the government from all landlords. Evictions are the only way for many landlords to protect themselves.
This of course would be in a world where sanity ruled an impeachable offense. So far as I know, directly ordering a clearly unconstitutionally policy is precisely doing the sort of violence to the document which fully meets the definition of such an offense.
Let the Democrats wallow in the juices of their complicity in Joey’s lawbreaking. It’s just another campaign ad for flipping both Houses of Congress next year which just writes itself.
Congress authorized 40B for rent. 3B of it has been distributed. Biden is extending the eviction moratorium really to compensate for governments' failure to distribute assets authorized by congress. Rather than take on SCOTUS, we should ask "Where is the 37B?"
True, Carter, but that in no way gives this or any other President the right to order a clearly unconstitutional action. He needs to hammer the States into doing their job, not do further violence to the Constitution and the rule of law.
Agreed. I have zero tolerance for ignoring a clear SCOTUS ruling.
I have zero tolerance for a government that fails at a prior act (distribution of authorization), and then covers their failure with a political action that degrades trust in government.
I never was a fan of the original authorizations because they never get distributed in a timely manner, which simply creates a slush fund.
Which is precisely why those funds need to be distributed BEFORE any other actions are taken. There should be no slush funds, nor should there be any unconstitutional actions taken by agencies such as the CDC, which do not have any such authority. Small landlords, such as the one from which we rent, control some 40 percent of American rental housing. The inevitable result of this will be that landlords will stop renting to first time renters or lower income ones, and the radical Marxists will have caused there to be less, not more, affordable housing available. It’s the Law Of Unintended Consequences at work again.
Imagine had approximately 43,001 votes in battleground states been cast and voted for #45 reelecting him as president? Do you think there would have been riots, perhaps an even worse one on our U.S. Capital building? What do you suppose the media would be reporting about the election and subsequent riots? I can't help but be reminded of the closing argument in the book (and movie) A Time to Kill. (You-tube it.) The left believe in their hearts there is a time to "ignore" rule of law and that's when it benefits their purpose, and their person is the one ignoring it. And the minions be minions. The long game is killing this experiment in freedom.
What is the recourse for flagrently unconstitutional Presidential edicts such as this? So many landlords -- both corporate and small busness people with one or two rentals -- are really struggling with the fallout from this ongoing moratorium, with its casual assumption that landlords are plenty rich enough and should be expected to provide housing for free "for the good of the people." To expect private businesses, large and small, to suddenly turn into defacto Section 8 housing without any compensation is about as communist as they come. No one gives any thought to the landlords, many of whom have invested hard-rarned money in real estate with a financial plan of providing rental income. I had a client who couldn't even sell her townhome because she had a non-paying tenant she couldn't evict. She was forced to pay mortgage and HOA for a tenant who was a self-styled "preacher" who did almost $5,000 worth of damage, to the point where my client literally paid her to move so she could divest.
The "rule of law" only applies to the cattle, not the cowboys. I'm reminded of the number of times in the past 30 years I've heard the words "people are going to jail for this," and then...nothing. It's extraordinarily frustrating knowing that if WE did these things, we'd be UNDER the jail, yet they're untouchable. And it's not just Dems seeking power, it's most politicians (I hesitate to say "all" but it's tempting). Finally, how ironic that we huff and puff in disgust over athletes using their podium to protest the US when those who are truly harming our country are "representing" us in Washington.
Erick, you of all people are cognizant of what is going on. I refuse to call them "media" any more. They are propaganda masters, Propagandistas if you will. They have no interest in reporting. They only care about advancing the narrative insomuch as it advances the Democrat/Progressive cause. I refuse to take any of these Propagandistas seriously. In fact, if they put out a story that says one thing, that becomes the one angle I do not believe at all.
"And now you understand why so many on the right have been moving away from the rule of law and towards some level of authoritarianism."
No, some people in the Republican party recognized a long time ago (really, starting about the Reagan years) that 'muh principles' and 'acts Presidential' were losing propositions when put against the kind of people who celebrate exhibitions of lawlessness all the way from rioters in the streets up to the occupant of the Oval Office. We want the rule of law restored, not a substitute strong man. However, we all recognize it's going to take root-and-branch removal of *everyone* who is enabling this kind of behavior.
Biden's junta just disregarded a ruling from the *United States Supreme Court*. Name me *one* legal ruling, even one of the flimsy nationwide injunctions from some Hawaiian circuit court judge, that the Trump administration did not follow.
'Very proud of your successes, Erick. Keep it going! We are behind you.

Help those truly in need. Most Renters should get jobs……there are “Help Wanted” signs and ads literally everywhere!

Let us hope after the ad writes itself, someone has the guts to use/air it

Great news on the syndication growth, Erick. Congrats.

Impeachment and removal from office.... but that can't happen until 2023 at the earliest.

As my late father always said, two wrongs don't make a right.
Congrats I look forward to your emails.
Congratulations on your new stations! I can listen on the way to my Mother's in Florida now. Yay!

Sad state of affairs. It seems to me that fighting fire with fire only burns down the house faster?
Aw, but backfiring is a technique used to stop forest fires. So in this case it puts out the fire faster.
