HI,
IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT THE PRESS IS NOT FICKLE. ONCE IT'S "HATE DONALD TRUMP" THEY CONTINUE !!!!!!!!!--THE PRESS NEVER WAVERS FROM EVEN A BAD POSITION. IT WAS THE SAME WITH RONALD REAGAN UNTIL THEY SIMPLY COULDN'T DENY HIS RIGHTNESS AND SUCCESS FOR AMERICANS (NOT SOCIALISM) ANY LONGER--THEN THEY STOPPED WRITING ABOUT HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER REALLY THINKS THE TIME IS RIGHT TO BEGIN NEW NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS THAT TELL THE NEWS LIKE IT IS NOT AS THEY WISH IT WOULD BE !!!!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW THE OLD--_TRUTH VS FICTION -- IDEA. THE "YELLOW" SHEETS WERE SUPPOSED TO CARRY THE EXPOSE AND GOSSIP AND THE "WHITE" SHEETS THE WORLD AS IT REALLY IS---NOT AS THEY FEEL IT OUGHT TO BE OR AS THEY WISH IT WOULD BE----BUT AS IT IS IN ONE WORD .........TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!
SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLE IDEA, DOESN'T IT. MAYBE AFTER SOON TO BE PRESIDENT TRUMP PUTS UP WITH THIS BUNCH FOR HIS TERMS IN OFFICE, HE'LL WANT TO BRING THAT IDEA BACK TO THE PRESS WITH HIS OWN "TRUMP NEWS" !!!!!!!!!!! BUT THEN WE CAN'T EXPECT HIM TO DO IT ALL !!!!!!!!!!!! SAVING THE COUNTRY IS A PRETTY BIG JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE THERE'LL BE OTHERS WHO ARE BELIEVERS IN A FREE PRESS THAT TELLS THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!
ANYWAY, THE CURRENT VOCALISTS IN THE PRESS ARE EAGERLY JUMPING ON EVERY MOVE HE MAKES NAMING CABINET AND THE EXECUTIVE TEAM. THEY KEEP POINTING AND WANTING TO SAY "SEE--SEE--IT'S WRONG !!!!!!!!! HOWEVER, THEY JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO REALLY YELL ABOUT YET !!!!!!!!!!
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ????????? THEY WON'T KNOW "TIL IT'S ALL OVER AND "THE FAT LADY SINGS" !!!!!!!!! OH DON'T GIVE ME GRIEF--THIS BLOGGER IS NOT SLIM AND SHE FINDS KATE SMITH'S DESCRIPTION BY A NINE YEAR OLD AMUSING AFTER A BALL GAME. IT SAYS IT WELL AND IT SAYS IT TRUTHFULLY !!!!!!!! THE TRUTH MAY NOT ALWAYS BE PRETTY BUT ITS A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN SOCIALISTS' LIES THAT TURN REALITY UPSIDE DOWN AND INSIDE OUT.
THAT PHRASE BY THE CURRENT LIBERAL PRESS COULD POSSIBLY GO SOMETHING LIKE THIS: IT'S NOT FINISHED UNTIL THE LARGE, WELL CORSETED, CORPULENT WOMAN, NO DEGRADATION INTENDED, VOCALIZES, IF AND WHEN SHE DOES,"THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER" IF SINGERS ARE STILL USING THE SONG TO CELEBRATE OCCASIONS !!!!!!!!!!! SAID THAT WAY IT WOULD ILLUSTRATE POLITICAL RIGHTNESS WITH A SLUR ON OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM FOR GOOD MEASURE !!!!!!!!!! ALWAYS A TRIUMPH WHEN OUR CURRENT PRESS CAN GET A TWO FOR ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!
TIRESOME ???????????? AGREED !!!!!!!!!!!! BUT IT'S TO INDOCTRINATE THE YOUNG NOT YOUR AGE GROUP THAT THEY CONSIDER HOPELESS !!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE PRESS !!!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE THE LAST WORD !!!!!!!!!!!! THEY MAY FAIL AS THEY DID WITH DAMNING TRUMP BEFORE THE ELECTION BUT THEY'LL CONTINUE TO DAMN HIM WITH FAINT PRAISE AS HE CARRIES OUT HIS PROGRAM. THE HISTORY BOOKS WILL PERHAPS TELL THE TRUTH BUT ONLY WHEN IT CAN NO LONGER BE HIDDEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAD TO SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER IS A WORDSMITH AND KNOWS THAT EVEN ICE CREAM CAN BE DISCUSSED WITH A CROOKED TONGUE WHEN DESIRED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!IT ALWAYS MADE THE REPORTERS OF MY DAY VALUE THE TRUTH BECAUSE REALITY CAN BE SO EASILY TWISTED AND MADE TO SEEM WRONG. THEY FOUGHT HARD FOR THE RIGHT TO REPORT THAT REALITY AND THOSE OF US LEFT HAVE SLOWLY SEEN THE TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMPLING OF THE HARD WON BATTLE OF REALITY ALMOST GET BURIED IN THE DUST OF SOCIALIST CAMPAIGNS ON POLITICAL RIGHTNESS DESIGNED TO DO JUST THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLAIN SPEAK AS DONALD TRUMP DID AND HAS DONE IS ONLY AN ANATHEMA TO THOSE WHO CHOSE TO CONFUSE. PLAIN SPEAK IS THE CLEAR VOICE OF REALITY AND TRUTH AND ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOT LIKE THE HARSHNESS, YOU WILL COME TO APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF THE TRUTH. PLAIN SPEAK WASTHE LANGUAGE OF OUR PILGRIM FOREFATHERS
WHEN THE PRESS CONDEMN TRUMP FOR HIS PLAIN SPOKEN ASSESSMENT OF WOMEN, THEY FORGET THAT THAT SAME TYPE OF TRUTH RUNS THROUGH ALL HIS RHETORIC AND MAKES US BELIEVERS. WE MAY NOT LIKE THE SUBJECT--WOMEN--OR THE DESCRIPTION--BUT HE IS UTTERING HIS TRUE OPINION WITH OUT FEAR. NOT EASY.NOR OFTEN PLEASANT AND EASY TO CONDEMN BUT TRUTH IS NOT MEANT TO BE ANYTHING BUT TRUTH AS THAT PERSON KNOWS IT.
WOULD THIS BLOGGER BE HAPPY TO HEAR AN UNPLEASANT DESCRIPTION OF HER BEING. OF COURSE NOT !!!!!!!!!!! BUT WOULD SHE BE WILLING TO DEFEND HIS RIGHT TO TELL THE TRUTH AS HE KNOWS IT ????????? YOU BETCHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIFE'S NOT ALWAYS A PLEASURABLE JOURNEY WHEN OUR FAULTS STAND OUT LIKE FRECKLES AND THEY DRAW ATTENTION BUT IF WE'VE LIVED WITH THE REALITY THEN IT IS POSSIBLE TO SUCK THE TRUTH UP (LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY) AND LIVE WITH
IT !!!!!!!!!!! WOULD THIS BLOGGER BE MAD THAT HE CALL ED ATTENTION TO IT IN PUBLIC ??????????? YOU BETCHA !!!!!!!!!!!! BUT IF SHE WERE IN PUBLIC LIFE OR A SPOUSE OF SOMEONE WHO IS,, THAT'S A REALITY SHE'D HAVE TO ACCEPT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO IN SHORT, SOON TO BE PRESIDENT TRUMP DID SOMETHING THE WUSSES IN THE PRESS CAN'T HANDLE. HE TOLD THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!! AND THE PUBLIC REALIZED HE DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! IN SPITE OF THE HARDSHIP IT WOULD BRING HIM, HE USED PLAIN SPEAK AND AMERICA LISTENED, WINCED, AND SILENTLY APPLAUDED HIS COURAGE IF NOT APPROVING HIS SUBJECT !!!!!!!!!!!!
GET REAL AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!! THE PLAYGROUND HAS ALWAYS BEEN TOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HASN'T CHANGED !!!!!!!!!!!!! WELCOME IT, LET IT STRENGTHEN YOUR RESOLVE TO BE A BETTER, MORE HONEST PERSON AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO TAKE WHAT IS DISHED OUT. THE BEAUTY OF TRUTH IS REALITY IS WHAT IS.
REALITY MAY NOT ALWAYS BE OUR CUP OF TEA BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS AND WE HAVE TO LIVE IT, FACE IT SQUARELY, AND EITHER DEFEAT IT OR ACCEPT IT !!!!!!
BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT IS A LIAR'S DREAM AND A QUITTER'S COMPENSATION.
CHEERS, CONNIE.

NOTHING CAN GO WRONG!-MMMHMPH POST 66
Hi,
Another Economic FIASCO. The headline in a local paper ".....Owners left powerless in Bulk Buyer Takeover". Condo Owners lost control of their HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION to a large firm THAT BOUGHT OUT UNITS ON CHEAP. According to the article, over 11,000 condos across this nation have suffered similar scenarios.
The problem here is not only the takeover but the reasoning behind the Condo concept. From the beginning folks "in the know" made clear statements that CONDOMINIUMS were much safer than COOPERATIVES BECAUSE OF THE HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION and legal bylaws!!! Home owners supposedly could not lose control of the buildings and grounds and NOTHING COULD HAPPEN TO THE INVESTMENT.
That word-NOTHING- CREATES UNEASINESS. SEARCH FOR NOTHING! Can you find it?????????? NOTHING ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING WITHIN IT THAT RENDERS the word NOTHING USELESS.
NOTHING CAN GO WRONG!!!!!!!Puleeeeeeeeeeze!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK. The Government says that all the time and look at the messes they're trying to clean up!!!!!!!!!
In this case NOTHING HAD A LOT OF SOMETHING: property values reduced from a quarter of a million dollars to 40-50,000 dollars with numerous vacancies at that price; the collection of dues for HOA dropped, so disrepair began when existing homeowners couldn't meet upkeep; a majority of these 1/4million dollar units became available at the CHEAP; a large company saw the profit in buying up whole groups of UNITS which led to control of the condo association through the HOA.
One likes to think that FAIRNESS always rules--but it's not written in the HOA bylaws!!!!!!!!What is written is that a majority of homeowners control the welfare of the residents and buildings. That means MR. NEW PROFIT MAKER (who is now THE MAJORITY) is in control of this very democratic Association and has the existing tenants over the proverbial barrel. It's legal. It's not real nice. But baby, it's business (condos WERE always more of a business then just owning a home--that's why an HOA was needed) and PROFIT is necessary (either for keeping up the Condos or for a new majority investor) and is the MOTIVE.
Is that wrong? NO!!!!!!
This particular group seems to have been more fair than some would have been. They really refurbished the run down place, added attractions, only doubled rather low dues and assessed current homeowners what amounted to a minimal amount under five grand for the improvements.
HOWEVER, in the interest of protecting their derrieres, they blocked new owners wanting to buy condos by claiming " the new buyers would not have the means to meet condo obligations" In other words-UNIT OWNERS must SELL TO BIG COMPANY (B.C.) at a LOW PRICE OR NOT SELL at all AND PAY whatever B.C. DECIDES TO CHARGE for fees and assessments. B.C. meanwhile restores the units to use as RENTALS so the REMAINING HOMEOWNERS NOW LIVE in a RENTAL FACILITY.
IT'S ALL LEGAL, FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!Some readers will feel B.C. has done the town a FAVOR by cleaning up what was fast becoming a rat-infested defunct project. Others find profit making like this to be gross and morally UNJUST but have no advice to offer. All emotions aside--Condos are a BUSINESS and not TRUE HOME OWNERSHIP (one home+one owner) a system that has its OWN SET OF PROBLEMS).
This in no way attacks the condo owners and HOAs that are currently functioning well and keeping their legal promises to homeowners. There are many with fine standards and HOA officers. But remember this situation affects all condo owners by underlining the hazards that owning cooperatively entails. The condo owners who are now lucky enough to be holding strong assets, should still review their legal papers and by-laws to try to find those loopholes from which profit takers can gain advantage.
Okay, what's at stake here??????????(BESIDE THOSE REMAINING HOMEOWNERS LEFT HOLDING THE BAG????) The big answer is always the same.
LET THE BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!! SORRY, THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR!!!!!!!!But there are no free lunches or dumping of responsibility!
"NOTHING CAN GO WRONG" SHOULD SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whenever you enter into an agreement that makes you only part of the whole, the only thing you really control is your PART. UNLESS, and this is a BIG UNLESS you either own a large portion like over 51% or you are HOA politician enough to convince others to buy into your investment (buy the defunct units) and stand on your side. CONDOS are an interesting use of CAPITALISM (profit taking) AND COMMUNISM (all for one and one for all). However, all business transactions have dozens of legal loop holes and it simply takes the right set of circumstances to make them pop out.
Have you read about TAKEOVERS in large companies????????? Well, now you understand how that happens. FIND THE LOOPHOLE, MAKE AN OFFER "THEY CAN'T REFUSE" AND IT'S PAYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Although leery of condos from the beginning because of an innate cautiousness about business, the reports showed that they thrived and only a few went under. Most, not all, HOAs seemed reasonable in their demands and restrictions. It is true of most things that when times are prosperous, attitudes soften and dire predictions calm. Still over the years intuition has proved better than most propaganda.
There is little that can be done for the owners in those 11,000 condos (that number is sure to increase as hard financial times continue to deflate home prices). The only advice to those currently in condo associations not currently under siege is to change some of the supposedly 'GOOD' RESTRICTIONS (like deciding who can live there and who cannot) to rules not so easily adaptable to ONE OWNER TAKEOVER. Go over your homeowner's laws with your lawyer with a fine tooth comb and change what can be reinterpreted for someone's advantage. WILL THAT DO IT???????? NO!!!!!! Not Entirely. But it may help in some ways to make the profit process less painful and maybe provide legal ways to cut current owners a slice of the profit.
AS LONG AS THERE IS A CHANCE TO MAKE A PROFIT UNDER ANY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT, LAW, OR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY-- PROFIT takes precedence AND THOSE INVOLVED CAN BE RESPONSIBLE ONLY BY BEING AWARE! Make sure it's not your profit that's being taken.
