No, of course not! One year ago, the vast majority of landlords checked the records of all applicants for evictions, and a positive result would mean an automatic rejection. In 2021, 100 percent of landlords will be performing these checks, because the risk of additional moratoria makes it vital to weed out any applicants who are likely to take advantage of one.There’s nothing new about landlords declining to rent to anyone who has been evicted, because an eviction is always the tenant’s fault. You might not be able to help it if you couldn’t pay rent because you were in the hospital, or if your landlord wanted you out so they could rent to someone else at a higher rate, but it’s 100 percent your fault if you refused to leave. The fact that an eviction was granted means the law was on the landlord’s side, and that the tenant had no legal right to stay. If they refused to leave and forced the landlord to spend time and money taking them to court to get their own property back, then they obviously cannot be trusted. It doesn’t really matter to us landlords why you didn’t pay to begin with, because what concerns us is that you then refused to move out of a place you had no legal or moral right to occupy.You might think that the fact that a moratorium was in place when you didn’t pay changes things, or that whatever good reason you think you have for not paying will make you an exception, but why should it? In the past I have evicted people who didn’t pay because they got laid off, because their spouse abandoned them with all the bills, or because they were hospitalized. While they had my sympathy and received references for shelters, social services, private charities, and landlords with cheaper housing, they ultimately needed to either leave or pay what they owed, as I wasn’t running a charity. You may not know this, but landlords pay out between 40 and 95 percent of the rents their tenants pay as soon as we get it, just to cover things like mortgages and insurance, so if my tenants don’t pay their $1,000 rent, I have to pay between $400 and $950 of my own money to house them.Just as those tenants had my sympathy, so do the ones who genuinely cannot pay due to the pandemic, but I am also equally unwilling to pay out of pocket to house them. The government has temporarily restricted our ability to evict, but your obligation to pay rent has not ceased. Nothing has changed except that your eviction will be delayed for a few months if you violate our legally binding contract, so you are absolutely still required to vacate when you cannot pay. If you choose to stay, you know that you are stealing housing, and that the only thing that’s different right now is that the government has delayed your punishment. Your refusal to vacate is still deeply wrong and immoral, and it’s unreasonable to expect other landlords to ignore your behavior.Like I said, every landlord who isn’t driven into bankruptcy by this latest moratorium will be exceedingly careful not to accept applicants who have been evicted. It was always important not to take in a tenant who’d already proven their deceitful and dishonest nature, but now that we know the government could again come along and forbid us from evicting, it has become absolutely critical. In the past a nonpaying tenant would cost us a few thousand dollars and a month or two to evict, but now they can cost us tens of thousands as we sit on our hands for a year and watch as they rob us blind. A tiny fraction of those who took advantage of the eviction moratorium might genuinely be unable to pay, but it doesn’t really matter as we’ll be just as broke as if they were one of the many scammers.You can thank those scammers too for the extreme criteria landlords are now setting for new tenants. Every tenant who told me they couldn’t pay, the ones who handed me CDC declarations swearing they’d paid what they could, applied for assistance, looked for jobs, etc., were given applications for my gas stations. I’m currently hiring, and I told each and every one of them that I could put them to work the next day. None applied.

Despite constantly griping about identity politics, Republicans think that the first one will make it difficult for liberals like me to attack him for being the second one, or for being spectacularly unfit to be representing anyone in Congress.The GOP legitimately thinks that the liberal brain works this way, “Oh, that guy is in a wheelchair, so he must be very good, and anyone who says something against him is bad.” Maybe it does, I suppose we could tell by the reaction to this post.Anyway, Madison is a terrible human being.[2] Let’s quote his bio:On how the GOP is really really not sore over AOC being the youngest member of the House:He is the youngest member of Congress since Jed Johnson Jr., and the first born in the 1990s.On his prodigious experience and work qualifications:As a teenager, he worked at a Chick-fil-A restaurant. U.S. Representative Mark Meadows nominated Cawthorn to the United States Naval Academy in 2014, but his application was rejected before his 2014 car accident (despite Cawthorn having previously claimed in his congressional campaign that his accident "derailed" his plans to attend the Academy). After the accident, Cawthorn was employed as a staff assistant in Meadows's district office.He accrued $3 million in medical debt during his recovery. His friend's insurance company offered him $3 million to cover his medical treatment, but Cawthorn sued the company for $30 million. A judge later ruled in the insurer's favor.Cawthorn attended Patrick Henry College during the fall 2016 semester to study political science, but dropped out after earning mostly D grades. He said his grades were low primarily because his injuries had interfered with his ability to learn.On his own admitted (lack of) capacity to separate church and state when acting as a political representative (see FN 6):Way to obfuscate the question. You know who didn’t find it “silly?” The “Founding Fathers” (which included women) Republicans are always paying lip service to. For someone so proud of being a zealot, he seems really reticent to admit it when called out. I wonder what other group of people that reminds us ofOn how he is totally not a neo-Nazi:[3][4]Cawthorn is the owner of SPQR Holdings, LLC, a real estate investment firm in Hendersonville. The firm was created in August 2019 and reported no income; he is its sole employee.The initialism SPQR "has been embraced by skinhead gangs in Italy and by some white nationalists in the United States" and is common on flags used by white supremacists.On his dream, “bucket list” visit to Nazi vacation homes. I don’t know many people who casually refer to Hitler as “the Fuhrer:”“The vacation house of the Führer (emphasis added). Seeing the Eagles Nest has been on my bucket list for a while, it did not disappoint.” -CawthornOn his “bucket list” trip, did Cawthorn visit any concentration camp to try to even minimally comprehend the Nazi industrial project to murder all of the Jews of Europe as well as millions more people they considered inferior? Has Cawthorn visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., about eight hours from here? How has he educated himself about neo-Nazi organizations now destructively active in our country, sometimes with links to white nationalist militias? Does he even understand that there is an active domestic terrorism threat from such groups, or does he think that is “fake news”?Wow. Wow. Wow. Just so much to unpack.Teenage worked at fast food restaurant. Okay, not Malala obviously, but the everyman backstory can be endearing.The only reasons I can understand for Mark Meadows giving this guy a job twice are: a) Mark Meadows is also a closet Nazi; b) Cawthorn has some dirt on Meadows.Oh, but he’s not an everyman. I mean, I don’t know about you, but none of my close acquaintances own insurance firms, and can casually offer me $3M USD to pay off medical debts (which, granted, shouldn’t exist in the first place).Apparently Cawthorn’s ego was inflated even then, to the extent that he could not recognize the imminent defeat of his litigation. I wonder if his friend offered to clear the debt (that shouldn’t have existed) after the litigation. I hope so, that would have been nice of him.Patrick Henry is a college for religious zealots (and also there’s a Chick-fil-A across the street so maybe Representative Cawthorn felt at home). That he managed Ds speaks to his capacity, even in that environment. The rejection from the Naval Academy makes sense now.As for his condition getting in the way of his success. Totally possible, everyone deals with things differently. I just wonder how the many great peers I’ve met, who I have learned so much from, and who also battled through severe physical challenges to succeed in rigorous, and ableist, academic environments would react to that.In addition, we don’t have any details about the relationship between his condition and his ability to pursue a degree at the time, except for his say so. Given that he was totally fine lying about his previous academic history when running for Congress, I’m not sure why we shouldn’t presume he is also lying about this one.Wow, I mean, classic bro move. Start a company with no income, and be the sole employee, only so that you can have something to put on your resume, because no one else will hire you (except the guy who owes you a favor for some reason [though it doesn’t get much worse than staff assistant at a district office]). I admire the gumption at least. I bet you his title is CEO/Founder on it too.Oh, but then you named your company after Nazis.No, no he did not include those places on his list. He was just very interested in the places where all the Nazi leadership met, so that he could wax forlornly about good times lost for some reason. And yes, yes he does consider that “fake news.”Pictured: “Fake News” Also, why do only the terrible parts of fantasy novels always come true? Like, if I have to deal with real life Orcs, then I want Elf magic too.You know, I really tried to not write this. I tried so hard, I even looked up his legislative history. I said to myself, “Andreas, if this man has done even one good thing with the power he has been given, then you should just be quiet.”[5]I was disappointed. It turns out he did literally do one thing. I wouldn’t consider it good.Madison Cawthorn’s only legislative act has been to make it easier for an out of state person to bring concealed weapons into a state (that allows for concealed carry). So, as Gen Z and Millenials work through their collective generational trauma of gun violence in school (thanks Mom and Dad), Cawthorn was voting to make it easier to traffic guns across state lines.And in light of the insurrection at the Capitol building, and his blatant support in both deeds and words, I am really really really struggling to not view these things as related.Representative Cawthorn is definitely afraid other people might start agreeing about this, because his twitter feed, like most Republicans suddenly discovering things can get real, has just been nonstop apologies:In conclusion, Madison is a trust-fund kid, and serial failure (no wonder he is Trump’s “golden boy”) that endured through a terrible accident; and who, despite never having to work to feed himself, is very content to vote to defund programs that help out-of-work minimum-wage laborers achieve basic nutrition for themselves and their families. How this adult child was elected to be Representative would boggle the mind of a person unfamiliar with our times.Watch this 45 second clip, and remember, that the same guy saying the phrase, “We don’t need to burn down a city to feel like we’re helping somebody,” a few weeks later was actively encouraging people to assault the Capitol building, and take Senators hostage, in order to preserve the Presidency of another con artist that rightfully lost election:“When you’re talking to people who don’t know…who to vote for [he almost said “anything about politics”] it’s pretty easy to convince them, because, it’s just plain more fun to be a Republican…”Yes, it certainly must be more fun to be a Republican when you view your job as a cool video game, instead of real life where people die as a result of your words (see jungle gym image above). But thank you, at least there is an acknowledgement that his message is typically only effective on people who don’t know any better.People like Madison do not believe that the democratic process is about you having information and then making your own decision. They view it as an active process whereby they have to convince you. They think the democrat process should be a convincing game, because they are at the core con men, and for con men things like virtue, honesty, and autonomy are fairy tales.It also makes a lot of sense if you understand that Cawthorn comes from an Evangelical background where he has been brainwashed into believing he has a duty to proselytize in order to save people from being not Christian. That Evangelical belief that anyone can be convinced, and that by convincing them you are saving them is at the core of Madison’s schtick. He likes to hold out his Jewish friends and staff members as token of how he isn’t an anti-Semite, but what he fails to mention is that what he really really loves are Jews who convert to Christianity, because that’s part of Evangelical biblical prophecy that will see White men from the Mid-West rule over the world in a kind of 21st century manifest destiny, after an apocalypse that wipes out all the unworthy.[6] And you don’t want to know what happens to those Jewish people who don’t convert. Again, totally not a Nazi…or inquisitionist (?).I actually think Madison is smart enough to realize this is all bullshit, and that he can just harness it to fulfill his personal goals. Hey what can you do, sociopath is gonna sociopath.If we had a functioning justice system, Madison Cawthorn would be jailed, and a warrant issued to search all property related to him.But he hasn’t been, because he, and the movement he represents are always skirting on the edge of legality, holding on to some final scrap of (im)plausible deniability, and goading others into doing the dirty work they are too cowardly to do themselves. I think Cawthorn probably is very familiar with this passage from the Bible:"To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside, everything comes in parables, in order that 'they may indeed look, but not perceive, and may indeed listen, but not understand . . . " (MK 4:11-12)Every time you come across a nazi org calling itself Happy Fun Time Inc., or see a member of the Deus Vult crowd talk about “taqiya,” what they are really communicating to you is that they are part of a surreptitious, and malicious organization.If people are waiting for the Nazis in our government, law enforcement agencies, etc. to come out and say, “Hey we are Nazis and would like to build a totalitarian state from within,” then you might as well hold your breath all the way to the concentration camp.The Biden administration needs to establish a fact finding committee, and the FBI needs to dedicate significant resources to rooting out these people from public offices of power, and from their own ranks.Update 1: Jesus Christ, the gift that just keeps on giving, but also please stop:[7]So this is what Madison means when he says he was raised by a bunch of “true frickin’ believers.” It takes a certain amount of contempt for the intelligence of “regular people” to be quoting Hitler’s advice, while also claiming to be denouncing evil dictators; but she is certainly right that both share a common imagined enemy in the “left-wing radicals.” Here’s a tip Representative Miller might want to follow, try not to spew more Hitler-esque rhetoric while trying to prove you are not a devout disciple.2: Thanks NC.[8] If this matters to you consider taking a moment to sign this petition.[9]3: Wow.[10]Footnotes[1] 'The battle is on the house floor, not in the streets of D.C.'

Not me, but my wife.Some background. She grew up in a family of five children with a stay-at-home mom and a hard working dad that never seemed to have any extra money. They lived simply, never had much in the way of luxuries and never took family vacations. Although every child did get a present, Christmases were generally meager affairs.One day she remarked to me that her dream, growing up, was to get a dollhouse for Christmas. Of course, due to her family’s financial constraints, it never arrived.I made up my mind to get her the gift she always wanted, but never had. I racked my brains on how to make such a gift work for a grown woman when fate intervened. I happened to see a dollhouse (it was called The McKinley and was manufactured by Greenleaf Dollhouses) that was created as a 10-inch deep shadow box that measured about 2-feet wide x 2 1/2-feet tall. This allowed it to be displayed on a sofa table, bureau or hung on a wall. It was the perfect gift for an adult. The only drawback was that it came only as a kit that would have to be assembled. I built a lot of models as a child including one called “The Big T”, a giant model car that was 17 inches long and contained over 200 parts! How hard could assembling a dollhouse be?I bit the bullet and ordered it and it arrived just in time. I wrapped it and presented it to her as the last present she opened that Christmas. She opened it and tears flooded her eyes.“You really listened to me”, she said between sobs.To her, it wasn’t the gift as much as the fact I remembered our conversation.How hard could it be was an understatement. It took me 4 MONTHS to complete that kit. I took over the dining room table and worked on it two to three hours every evening. Each of the over 1000 shingles was individually placed and glued and clapboards were cut and fitted. I installed electric lights on ceilings and walls, miniature electric outlets to allow placement of table lamps and a fireplace that glowed. I painted and wallpapered the rooms, added faux “tin” ceilings and installed detailed mouldings, windows and trim.It was nearly May when I finished finally finished which also happened to coincide with her birthday. I then surprised her with her birthday present…. a trip to the hobby store to pick out rooms of miniature furniture.This is the result.Edit: My granddaughters just turned three and five years of age this past Christmas. I told my daughter-in-law to tell me when she thought they were ready for a dollhouse. Once she gave me the go ahead, I spent another four months, 5 days a week for 6 to 8 hours each day, to building a dollhouse for them as illustrated in the following pictures.Everything had to be assembled. It took 9 pieces to assemble a single window and another 6 pieces to create a pair of shutters. Hardwood and “tile” floors, baseboards, “tin” ceilings and interior doors, and EVERY piece of exterior trim had to be individually cut and fitted by hand and many of these items had to be purchased separately. The shingles are individual pieces which had to be shaped and laid by hand and I had to accurately draw a grid to align them on every roof panel. The access panel on the side had to be fitted and a set of hinges installed. Interior and exterior walls had to be primed with an oil based paint (the panels are made of mdf board which would be damaged by direct application of water based paint) and two finish coats of latex paint were applied over that.My daughter-in-law wanted it to come from Santa but also wanted the grandchildren to know I built it to create memories for them later in life when I have passed on. We concocted a story that began with a letter to me from Santa. In it, he said his elves had made all the parts but ran out of time to assemble it. If he delivered it to me, could I help him out by building and painting it? I read it to my two granddaughters and my two grandsons before the unveiling and watched the younger one’s eyes get wide with amazement. Hugs and kisses followed before my wife pulled off the paper that covered it and they hurriedly ran over to play with it. To those children, I was one of Santa’s Elves that year!Here are some pictures of it beginning with ones showing it in various stages of assembly….…and the finished project. The table was created from 2) $9.00 IKEA tables, bolted together, with fake grass carpeting applied over a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood, to make easy for the children to access all rooms of the house. I attached blocks to the table tops, under the floor of the house, to prevent it from accidentally being pushed off the tables.My wife setting it up on Christmas Eve, 2019…Grandchildren on Christmas morning, 2019…Note: For those who don’t have the time, patience or might lack the ability (and who have deep pockets) factory assembled, painted models with finished interiors are available for a price of $1,500.00 to $1,800.00 depending on level of finish. Here is an example of the factory product. Note the price shown of $549.00 is for an unpainted model with an unfinished interior. I like to think I came close to equaling it.
