I made a poor joke but never mind - it was nothing to do with anything anyone else wrote. But what was your point? I know that you think you have one. Redfin, or anything else, can be used to justify attacking "Bidenomics". It's easy. It is comical for someone to say that a link to support a post is biased - it has to be - if you really want to look at it like that. A better word would be relevant, even of you don't like it. The reality is that it is still difficult for house buyers in the US to afford a change of home or start into the market. Even if interest rates fall there will be quite a lag before borrowers see much relief. The relief in mortgage rates is only minimal so far. There have been actual no rate cuts from the Fed yet. Too much speculation, as ever. My biased link is below: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/real-estate/housing-market-predictions/ All that said, housing market difficulties are only one aspect to do with Bidenomics, whatever that's supposed to mean. Rates finally went up after years in the supernatural world of zero interest. Debt and inflation are the two biggest threats and Biden is making both worse.

Not in reality. Some operators starting to conform recently. https://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/greek-group-owners-and-shipowners-transport-20-or-more-of-russian-crude-oil-flows-says-sp-global-market-intelligence-report/ -

The high court? Or do you mean the EHCR, which the UK can't ignore as the TCA with the EU locks Britain into a number of provisions relating to the human rights convention as a standard on policing? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/mar/08/eu-could-terminate-police-and-security-agreement-if-uk-quits-echr Even after the withdrawal agreement, the UK still follows much of what the EU wants. The TCA needs revising too. -

Yes, I know. But thanks. The update proves my point, Biden is spending even more now. Let's go Brandon. -

Not accurate from you. This "recovery" was only enabled by the creation of trillions of magic dollars by the Federal Reserve, along with the setting of zero, or even negative interest rates. The price of that has yet to be paid. Before Covid hit, GDP growth under trump was similar to and slightly better than Obama's. Certainly not the lowest since the end of WWII. The very recent stronger US growth is post covid rebound. UE was 3.7% pre Covid. As for ISIS, about 50/50 - Trump completed the job . This $7,800T National Debt was mostly accrued in the first covid years (2020/1). Despite the retreat of covid, Biden is spending even more now: https://www.statista.com/chart/28393/us-public-debt/ -

Are you from Russia? Trump can't disband NATO. I'm not even sure he can take the US out by executive order, either. -

From the link: https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_67655.htm At the Wales Summit in 2014, in response to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and the turmoil in the Middle East, NATO Leaders agreed to reverse the trend of declining defence budgets and decided: Allies currently meeting the 2% guideline on defence spending will aim to continue to do so; Allies whose current proportion of GDP spent on defence is below this level will: halt any decline; aim to increase defence expenditure in real terms as GDP grows; and aim to move towards the 2% guideline within a decade with a view to meeting their NATO Capability Targets and filling NATO's capability shortfalls. - - - What your "ignoramus" did note was that many of the laggards were not increasing their own military budgets enough to reach the 2% target, even by 2024 (see Candide's post). Of course, what happened in 2022 encouraged some more rapid increases. -

I expected him to say exactly what he said. Budgets were always Trump's complaint. -

You little cartoons and unsubstantiated quotes prove nothing. Bolton obviously has a grudge against Trump but zero evidence either. Better look at this, especially from 6:00 onwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_bAgT1thG4
