ADVICE TO DR BEN CARSON

3 Comments

Howard Husock, writing Wednesday in the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal on five things HUD Secretary-designate Ben Carson can do right away to improve public housing and reduce government dependency:

Time Limits for Public and Voucher Housing: Sending a signal to new subsidized tenants that they shouldn’t expect lifetime housing support—to which they are entitled at present—would be the best way to change the culture of public housing. . . . Time limits also free up housing units for those who’d otherwise be stuck on a waiting list. Carson should extend the discretion to impose such limits to all 3,000 of the nation’s public-housing authorities.

Stop Work Disincentives for Subsidized Housing: Under current law, a public or subsidized housing tenant must pay 30 percent of his income in rent. That may sound like a good deal, but it means that, for every $100 that a tenant’s income increases, his rent goes up by $30. This creates an obvious disincentive to work. . . .

Privatize Management of Public-Housing Properties: There may once have been good reason for government to build low-income housing, but there’s no reason why it should also manage the properties once they’re built. . . .

End “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing”: The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule is premised on the wrongheaded idea that the best way to encourage upward mobility among minorities is simply to relocate poor inner-city households to wealthy suburbs. The rule should be done away with. . . .

End Affordable Housing Mandates: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the secondary-mortgage market giants supervised by HUD, are charged with fulfilling the federal government’s affordable-housing mandates. They must demonstrate that large percentages of the mortgages they purchase have been made to low-income buyers or neighborhoods. These mandates contributed to the 2008 financial crisis and continue to send the wrong message to banks, which are essentially told to fulfill mortgage quotas even when loans aren’t repaid.

Dr. Ben Carson, “The United States of America is still the pinnacle nation in the world today.  It is not, however, the first pinnacle nation to face a decline.  Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Great Britain, France, and Spain all enjoyed their time at the top of the world, so to speak – in many cases, for several hundred years. Then as they decline, they all experience some peculiar similarities: an inordinate emphasis on sports and entertainment, a fixation on the lifestyles of the rich and famous, political corruption, and the loss of a moral compass.”

Don’t forget the (click)worst HUD director, none other than Andrew Cuomo who was appointed by Bill Clinton.  The youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history, made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country’s current crisis. He took actions that — in combination with many other factors — helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded “kickbacks” to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why.

Excerpts from the “worst HUD” link above.

at that time indicated that the federal government was spending $55,000 a year for a woman and 1.8 children (on average) to live in HUD-subsidized private housing with welfare and food stamps in high-cost areas in a manner such that they would, and indeed could, never become taxpayers and get off the dole.  Our analysis showed that the federal government was spending more per person to fund the HUD-housed poor than the annual average income of the American taxpayer who was being asked to fund the rising cost of the debt issued to pay for this.

HUD was spending $150-250,000 per unit to build Hope VI public housing while HUD-foreclosed homes that could be bought and fixed up for $50,000 were available a block away. We were paying large corporations $35-150 dollars an hour to do things that people who lived in those neighborhoods – given advances in information and telecommunications technology — could be trained to do. The implications were enormous: theoretically, at least, there was the opportunity, using more accurate place-based information, to place public finances on a sounder footing in which the tax payers’ investment returns were positive. The potential savings across the federal budget were in the billions.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS ABOUT TO BE BUSTED

Their movin them in folks, that is the plan. Remember Andrew Cuomo, Clinton’s head of HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, well he is long gone but his predecessor is about to bust the lily white neighborhoods. The plan is to require the “burbs” to provide housing for the low income families that now reside in the inner cities. Move ‘um out move ‘um in.  Yessirreebob!

Westchester County New York was embroiled in a six year lawsuit with HUD. Open your market for people with low income. In other words let the riff raff move into the plush suburbs. The Center for Individual Rights or CIR has filed an amicus brief in support of Westchester County Executive Robert Astorino and his ongoing effort to fend off an overreaching federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD is attempting to silence Astorino’s opposition to its agenda of dismantling local zoning ordinances in Westchester County, a northern suburb of New York City.

Prior to Astorino’s election, the federal government and Westchester County agreed to a consent decree that ended a lawsuit against the county. Now, HUD is using that agreement to stage a test-run of a new, nationwide HUD program designed to meld together urban and suburban municipalities. The agreement required Westchester County to build 750 new affordable housing units and to publicize the benefits of mixed-income neighborhoods by funding campaigns to broaden support for them. It also required the county to submit future housing plans to HUD that must be deemed “acceptable” by HUD.

“HUD has told Westchester that any limits on the size, type, height and density of buildings are ‘restrictive practices.’ It demands that the county sue its localities over such common zoning regulations, which are not exclusionary by any stretch of the imagination. If HUD can define what constitutes exclusionary practices, then local zoning as it is known today disappears. Apartments, high rises or whatever else the federal government or a developer wants can be built on any block in America.”

Now that you have got the jist of the story we bring you the latest. Obama has demanded that inner city folk be provided housing in the burbs.

As reported by the New York Post, Obama’s Housing Secretary Julian Castro is looking to create a new program that will “reallocate funding for Section 8 housing to punish suburbs for being too white and too wealthy.”

Castro’s plan is to “super-size” the federal Section 8 housing vouchers that provide rental funding for low-income people. The increased vouchers are intended to help poor people move out from increasingly expensive urban districts to the suburban areas that are currently middle and upper middle class.

What to expect? Break-ins, robbery, fires, drug dealing, hit and runs, shootings, murders, stolen vehicles, muggings, loitering, public drinking, urinating in public, fornification, pit bulls replace the poodle, school lock-downs, education expenses skyrocket, quality of education suffers, police monitor the neighborhoods, teen pregnancy explodes, illegals saturate once quiet streets harassing women,  drug over-doses reach epic proportions, nightly shootings disrupt the once quiet neighborhood. children aren’t allowed to go out at night, Mosques replace churches, the call to prayer breaches the peace, women wear burqas, men walk around with traditional robes, real estate price implode and municipal budgets double. Once quiet suburbs now become the hoodburbs. Did we miss anything? We certainly did, how about the gangs? The Crips, the Bloods, the MS 13’s and more.

The violent El Salvador Mara Salvatrucha gang , better know by its nom de guerre MS-13 and the lesser know 18th Street gang.  They have infiltrated major cities committing felonies, murdering, extorting, running guns and prostitution rings, peddling drugs and smuggling.

In many cities the police do not dear tread on their turf. But what is more interesting is their sudden recruitment of illegals who are being lodged at an Arizona facility. We should be alarmed. As detailed in thearticle members of the gang cross the border and are subsequently housed in government holding pens pending their release.

Those doing the recruiting are minors, JUST CHILDREN IN MOST INSTANCES, effectively they are plants duping Obama’s  uninitiated border patrol goons.

These Latin American gangs aren’t the typical street hoods of the ’50’s, they are violent criminals. 

In the early 2000s (decade), US authorities investigated MS-13 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Eventually the work led to charges against 26 MS-13 members, including 7 trial convictions in January 2010, 18 guilty pleas, and 11 multi-year prison sentences.This included the alleged first federal death-penalty conviction for an MS-13 member, Alejandro Enrique Ramirez Umaña, aka “Wizard” (age 25).

On July 13, 2003, Brenda Paz, a 17-year-old former MS member turned informant was found stabbed on the banks of the Shenandoah River in Virginia. Paz was killed for informing the FBI about Mara Salvatrucha’s criminal activities. Two of her former friends were later convicted of the murder.

HILLARY DO YOU HEAR US NOW – OUR ONLY DEMAND

Republicans will immediately acquiesce to a Hillary Presidency under one condition and one condition only,  that she immediately evoke an executive order requiring HER DEMOCRAT CONSTITUENCY open their houses/apartments to the homeless, including those on probation, drug dealers, illegal immigrants, welfare recipients, gang members, the sick, the tired, those living in homeless shelters or in cardboard boxes or in train stations. muslim jihadists, Syrian and North African rapists and provide them with three squares a day.  SORRY FOLKS, NOT GONNA HAPPEN!lies

Wishful thinking! Those Democrat hypocrites live in mansions, McMansions with a hundred rooms that have never seen a person of color or illegal immigrant (other than their gardener, cleaning lady or au-pair). But they force the rest of the country to buy houses for them, put them up in extravagant apartments which are always built in the city, not in their backyard(MIMBY). This is the ultimate in hypocrisy. The agency that has targeted middle America goes by the name of HUD. And who do you think ran HUD under Slick Willie, none other that Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York. 

Democrats Call for New Amnesty

Ian M. Smith, The Hill, January 14, 2016

Last Friday, Congressional Democrats sent out a petition calling on the president to grant mass amnesty to over a million illegal aliens from Central America, citing the region’s high crime rates and the dangers faced by potential deportees. Instead of asking the president to use his purported mass deferred action authority, Democrats are asking he grant the illegal aliens so-called Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a similar, albeit statute-based, program created by Congress in 1990. But similar to his previous blanket amnesties, using TPS in this situation would be unprecedented and legally questionable.

As its name implies, TPS was created to ‘temporarily’ stall the deportation of illegal aliens whose home country is ravaged by war or natural disaster. It initially only applied to then-war-torn El Salvador; however, the program’s since grown to include 11 other countries. And although the relief is supposed to be “temporary,” TPS-grants have been consistently renewed by DHS even when the problems back home have long since subsided.

{snip}

{snip} Under section 244(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the DHS Secretary can exercise grants of TPS on three grounds: situations of ongoing war that pose a serious threat to a potential deportee; situations of natural disaster so disruptive that the foreign state requests it; and under so-called “extraordinary and temporary conditions” with the added caveat that a temporary amnesty not be “contrary to the national interest of the United States.” For the first seven years of the program, all grants were made according to the first ground. Illegal aliens from Rwanda living in the US in 1995, for instance, were granted TPS following that country’s ethnic civil war which killed an estimated one million people. As for natural disaster grounds, Honduras and El Salvador themselves received TPS grants following severe flooding and earthquakes, respectively.

But in each of the dozen grants of TPS since 1990, never has an illegal alien received deportation relief because his or her home country had a high crime-rate. Congressman Luis Gutierrez seemed to recognize this fact when he told a rally outside the White House on Friday, “There is no difference between this and a hurricane–none.” In any case, it isn’t clear how much worse Central America has become in recent years, if at all. According to the Congressional Research Service, the latest crime figures actually show murder rates steady or declining in the region.

{snip}

In their lobbying push, Democrats will no doubt stick to their “don’t punish the families” narrative–a highly cynical exploitation of the American public’s sentimental values. But this sort of emotional blackmail does have its limits, especially in election years. When President Carter extended his “open-arms and open-heart” policy to Cuban illegal aliens during the Mariel boatlift, over 100,000 hit Florida’s shores, causing a huge public backlash and partly costing him, in his own opinion, the 1980 election. Similarly, President Obama is losing control of our borders while lecturing Americans that “We are a better nation than one that deports innocent kids.” But voters might tell his party this election that we’re also a better nation than one that lures them here.

All of these immigrants from Latin America are invited to move into the White House and all houses or apartments owned or rented by Libtards.

FORGOT ONE – NUMBER FOURTEEN: ELIMINATE HUD

30 Comments

We have talked about HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) before, they can best be described as a socialist organization bent on destroying middle class neighborhoods. HUD’s objective is to build housing in middle class neighborhoods thus bring inner city families closer to the suburban environment. But studies have shown that successful Blacks who have moved out of the hood into these middle class bastions of safety are the most out spoken when in comes to relocating those eligible for Section 8 housing next door. And who can blame them; they left the hood, but the hood followed them.

A taste of HUD’s political agenda follows:

June is LGBT month according to HUD secretary Castro.

Celebrating LGBT Month and Breaking Barriers

Written by: Secretary Julian Castro

This week marks the beginning of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Month, 2015 — a time to recognize the lasting contributions that these Americans have made to our nation, and to honor the progress that’s been achieved in securing equal opportunity for all.

But let’s not get into specifics just yet. HUD has an agenda, one that does not sit well with most Americans. They have seen the destructive power of this agency. Keep in mind that HUD has capitalistic supporters whose lifeline is low income housing. These entities get tax credits, state and federal funds to build housing for the poor or better said, for those who meet HUD criteria on income. It is a money tree for them, shaking the government for funds to build housing that costs on average twice as much if it not for government bidding, building compleance and hiring procedures.

The present governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo who defeated Rob Astorino in the last election gave us a taste of his neighborhood breaking tactics. (click)Cuomo’s rant on Rob Astorino, the chief executive of Westchester County.  Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday criticized Westchester County’s refusal to comply with a federal housing settlement, knocking Rob Astorino, the county executive and GOP gubernatorial candidate, for disregarding the federal mandate. “I used to bring these cases as HUD secretary,”  said Cuomo. Yeah he sure did, suing everyone in his path.

Astorino said Westchester has submitted eight studies to HUD that show “the only barrier to housing in many Westchester communities is income. Anyone can live anywhere they can afford in this county, just as in any other county.”

So again, Cuomo has the nerve to tell a county that its housing policies discriminate. Correct us if we are wrong here; Cuomo wants to build low income housing in the middle of neighborhoods where $2 million dollar houses are the norm. Cuomo wants to import drug dealers, MS-13 type gangs, murders, felons and muggers into stable neighborhoods. Taxes would be impacted, firefighters and police would need to be hired to fight the crime that results.

Before he became Governor he was the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history, made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country’s current crisis. He took actions that—in combination with many other factors—helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded “kickbacks” to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why.Cuomo has to accept responsibility for the debacle.

We are (click)moving forward now says President Obama faster than a bullet train. New executive orders will hasten the destruction of quiet suburban neighborhoods.  A report published this morning by The Hill says President Barack Obama is pressing forward with new Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations that will withhold block grants to communities if they don’t build enough “affordable housing in wealthy neighborhoods.” The executive order, known as the “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Act,” was issued by the president last year and will be used to promote racial quotas in white suburban neighborhoods. It will also force thousands of communities to house the nation’s burgeoning population of new immigrants.

YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET FOLKS. Wait for the bodegas, massage parlors, vape lounges, after hours parties, drug dens, drive by shootings, gang recruitment comes to your neighborhood. Wow, we can’t wait! Bet none of these HUD projects are located next door to any Senators. Get those AK-47’s today, tomorrow may be too late.

CONTINENTAL DIVIDE and A VERY IMPORTANT READ

4 Comments

The country we know is slipping away, multiculturalism greased the slide, progressives fanned the flames resulting in the great divide. We all remember Joe the plumber who said, “spreading the wealth around.” Obama, the high priest of American Hate, learned from his mentors, Franklin Marshall and Reverend Jeremiah Wright, but was highly influenced by the Black Panthers. Obama doesn’t suffer from loose lips, his tirades against whites are well choreographed to incite the minions of Blacks who have not made it. And they will never make it, their life history and the history of their parents and grandparents tells us this; no generation gap here, but an intelligence gap.

They had it right in Louisiana, that had it right in the deep south; the people saw what was slipping away and they did not like it one bit. They saw Obama with his prejudiced invective regarding Gates, Martin and Brown. Obama, the great divider will now face a Republican Congress who are at the ready to duel with this Islamic patronizing interloper. Americans, real Americans, are ready to take up arms for there is no middle ground here.

Since Lyndon Johnson’s Great society, an ambitious undertaking to say the least, taxpayers have been bilked out of trillions and for what? The Great Society programs have mutated to the Welfare Society. Just like FDR’s New Deal turned out to be a bad deal. Trillions of dollars have been spent on the underclass, whites included, hoping to bootstrap them up to the middle class. We have realized that it is impossible to educate those who don’t and will never have the skill set to succeed. Intelligence is not something that can be fertilized to grow with dollars, it is innate, inherited and carved in stone. The last forty years have given us proof that we cannot buy ourselves out of poverty. Did the war on drugs succeed? The same with the war on Poverty a colossal failure.

But what did we spend these trillions of dollars on? Free and subsidized housing; huge segments of society are living in rent free $400,000 homes. Millions receive free health care, free education and free food. These are the enabled that have grown out of the Great Society. Think about losers becoming winners, because of their gangster style protests, they have intimated politicians who have solicited their vote and in return were given free everything. Imagine a taxpayer living in a single family $100,000 ranch house while across town a welfare family celebrates their new $400,000 apartment.  Wait 20 years and it will be trashed. But let’s be clear here, many of those who live in these subsidized apartment – single family developments are illegal aliens to boot. Did any recipient of government largess ever thank a hard working taxpayer for their good fortune? Hell no! Most have spit in our face demanding more and more. Time to starve the beast.

How did all of this start?  Check out HUD – Housing and Urban Development – the builder of ghettos across America. HUD is a socialist organization, once run by Andrew Cuomo the Governor of New York. We guide you to  number 4 below. The Black Panther platform demanded free housing.

And now in wake of Obama rattling his tail America is once again at a crossroads. The new Congress has the opportunity to begin the process of taking out the proverbial hatchet to the welfare programs that have leached into a enabled society. Yes, there will be flames arising in many cities, segments of the population will exhibit un-human like behavior, but it must be done. And the job does not end here, subsidies for agriculture (the farmers are the biggest recipients of welfare), the Commerce Department needs to be scrapped and all corporate welfare to be ended OR ELSE.

 

October 1966 Black Panther Party
Platform and Program

What We Want
What We Believe

1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community.

We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to determine our destiny.

2. We want full employment for our people.

We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.

3. We want an end to the robbery by the white man of our Black Community.

We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment as currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over twenty million black people; therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that we make.

4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings.

We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people.

5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.

We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else.

6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service.

We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary.

7. We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of black people.

We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by organizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self defense.

8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails.

We believe that all black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.

9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States.

We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the black community.

10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebiscite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to supper, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.teapartylogored
