A Biden administration rule is set to take effect that will force good-credit home buyers to pay more for their mortgages to subsidize loans to higher-risk borrowers. Experts believe that borrowers with a credit score of about 680 would pay around $40 more per month on a $400,000 mortgage under rules from the Federal Housing Finance Agency that go into effect May 1, costs that will help subsidize people with lower credit ratings also looking for a mortgage, according to a Washington Times report Tuesday. “The changes do not make sense. Penalizing borrowers with larger down payments and credit scores will not go over well,” Ian Wright, a senior loan officer

We're already paying for some students' loans, now we have to pay for their mortgages.

This can't be legal - though I'd be hopelessly naive if I really believed this still couldn't happen.

Even if climate issues, wealth disparities, and quality of life situations could be solved, the democrats are not the ones to do it. All they really do is eff things up, consistently.

$40/month is just pocket change for the Big Guy. For everyone else it's nearly $500/year - every year. And with Crazy Joe's higher interest rates you're paying a couple hundred more/month too. Doncha lover Democrat rulers?

The only solution is to pay cash when buying a house, or if you have to have a mortgage, pay it off as quickly as you can.

By subsidizing those that are more likely to default there will be more defaults, 2008 all over again. Of course that is the real plan.

The article isn't clear, is this only for new mortgages, or are they somehow going to be extending this to any mortgage who's borrower has 680 credit score or higher? And, the new fee won't be tax deductible, even if only for new borrowers, I presume. They really need to get the SALT increased to at least 25-30K instead of the current $10K cap. Would help far more middle to upper-middle income families.

"Credit scores" were introduced as the result of an "operations research" (OR) study. As a professional "OR scientist" (since1952), I read the original study in one of our technical journals. They were a good idea and quickly adopted by lenders. This move undermines the entire basis for that study. An answer might be for lenders to revert to their previous "seat of the pants" criteria for making loans. (Perhaps they might find a way to "sneak a peek" at the credit score, without formally incorporating it into their lending policy in any way that would be actionable by the feds!)

A New York subway rider was allegedly stabbed in the stomach with an ice pick in what police are calling an “unprovoked attack” as they continue the search for the suspect. The incident happened on April 19 when the victim, a 38-year-old man, and his friend, a 43-year-old man, were waiting on the northbound J train platform at the Crescent Street train station in Cypress Hills at around 4:15 a.m. Fox 5 reports the suspect approached the two men and stabbed the victim in the stomach with an ice pick before fleeing.

They first met in Washington and then Mr. Burns visited Epstein’s townhouse in Manhattan.

Karl Marx’s famous prescription for economic equity is “from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs.” A more honest version is “robbing Peter to pay Paul,” which takes brute force in most cases. This is the ethos of the radicalized Democratic Party, whose mantra is centralized power and redistribution of wealth. The street version is called “looting,” but that word aptly summarizes their entire agenda. The Biden administration’s war on America’s energy sector has unleashed ruinous inflation, which pushes people into higher tax brackets so the government can take more of our income. And taxes are never high enough. Democrats portray any

Trump was the most pro-life president of our lifetime. During his term, President Trump defunded Planned Parenthood, signed the Mexico City Policy that prohibited foreign aid for abortions, nominated pro-life judges to the Supreme Court, and was vocal in his support for the rights of the unborn.

So, why are these same pro-life groups who hailed Trump a hero suddenly abandoning him, now? There’s a very good reason, and you’re not going to like it one bit.

CHICAGO — U.S. cities already struggling to shelter thousands of migrants are calling for federal help and an end to Republican political gamesmanship over immigration, concerned that an expected increase in the number of people entering the country when pandemic-era asylum restrictions end on the U.S.-Mexico border May 11 will further strain their budgets and resources.

President Joe Biden is dispatching 1,500 soldiers to the Southern border to stem the surge of illegal immigrants that are expected to follow next Thursday’s expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era public-health measure that allows Border Patrol to immediately expel illegal immigrants. The active-duty Army units will assist Border Patrol and will be armed, though they will only be permitted to use their weapons in self-defense. Following a request by the DHS, the Department of Defense agreed to “provide a temporary increase of an additional 1,500 military personnel, for 90 days, to supplement CBP efforts at the border,” an unnamed US official said in a statement provided to CNN.

Four years ago, Jill Biden was hesitant about her husband making a White House run, fearing the toll it could take on him and the family. In the months before Joe Biden formally announced he’d make a reelection bid, she had no such reservations. Privately, the first lady encouraged her husband to run again while giving him the space he needed to process the decision in the way he traditionally does: with extensive deliberations, consideration of the burden it would place on his family, and a bit of classic Biden hemming and hawing. She was involved in all the high-level discussions around the decision, giving counsel when she felt it was necessary.

There are still 553 days until Election Day 2024, but right now, things look pretty bleak for President Joe Biden. Shortly after Biden announced his re-election campaign — not with a live event featuring thousands of cheering supporters but with a weird video posted on his website — his job approval rating among the U.S. public slipped to 37%, Gallup reports.That’s just slightly more than 1 in 3 people — not a winning number. In the 2020 election, Biden won 51.3% of the vote, so that’s a 14.3% drop in support. And for the record, 37% is the lowest Gallup has measured for him to date.

Once the sun sets on the Himalayas and temperatures drop, a cacophony of eerie noises erupts deep within the glaciers around Mount Everest. Researchers led by the glaciologist Evgeny Podolskiy have found that the chorus of crashing and splintering noises in the high-altitude glaciers is a result of sharp drops in temperature after dark that causes ice to crack. The team pinpointed the cause of the sounds in 2018 after spending more than a week trekking through the Nepalese Himalayas to test the seismic activity of the Trakarding-Trambau Glacier system there. Dr Podolskiy and his team spent three weeks shivering on the glacier in full view of Mt Everest,
