GOOD CAUSE EVICTION LAW

 Effective April 20, 2024, the Good Cause Eviction Law provides tenants in unregulated housing with enhanced protections. Landlord must now demonstrate "good cause" to evict a tenant, refuse rent renewal, or impose excessive rent increases. A rent increase exceeding 8.82% is considered unreasonable unless the landlord can justify it in court.

Common example of "good cause" for eviction include non-payment of rent, violation of a substantial term of a lease, creating a nuisance, or substantial damage to the property. It is important to note that the law applies to tenants in unregulated rental housing who lived in their unit at least 30 days, but there are exemptions for certain situations, such as owner occupied building with a few units.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR MENTALLY ILL REPEATED CRIMINALS' MURDERS

 The murder of a Ukrainian refugee girl on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina by a homeless African-American man boggles the mind of an average person. But here we go again; another mentally ill person, with a thick rap sheet, allowed to freely roam the streets of American cities. I have watched personally last year the trial of Danny Penny in Manhattan's Criminal Courthouse charged with homicide of a homeless African-American man, Jordan Neely. Danny Penny, the good Samaritan and former marine, who restrained Jordan Neely while he was threatening passengers of New York City F subway train, was charged with homicide and had to undergo criminal trial for his good Samaritan deed. As is the case with the Charlotte killer, Jordan Neely also had a thick rap sheet, and was a known mentally disturbed person, allowed by the criminal justice and mental health system to be released and freely roam the streets of a big city. Yet, it was Danny Penny, an architecture student and a former marine, who was treated by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg as a criminal. From the testimonies of the witnesses, the passengers of the car of the F train who were threatened by Jordan Neely, it appeared that Danny Penny should have never been charged with homicide. The real guilty are those who allow the repeated criminals with mental issues to be released and freely roam the streets and trains of big cities. The video showing the attack on the innocent and quiet Ukrainian refugee girl, coming home from work at pizzeria in Charlotte is truly shocking. The fact is that one of the major contributing causes to the criminal acts perpetrated by repeated criminal offenders, with mental health problems, are democrats and the lenient criminal justice policies executed by their District Attorneys, exemplified by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg who was able to get creative in concocting the criminal charges against Donald Trump, yet that creativity somehow escapes him when dealing with repeated criminal offenders, whom he releases to the streets.

DEMOCRATS LOSE CREDIBILITY SAYING NO TO EACH OF TRUMP'S SUCCESSES

 It was a great week for Trump Administration. Supreme Court said no to universal injunctions being issued by local district federal judges, which were stopping on a national level execution of President Trump's policies, as I described in more detail in one of my earlier articles. The stock market reached yesterday the all-time high and the recession is nowhere in sight, as the mainstream media and the Democrats predicted since the implementation of Trump tariffs program. The illegal border crossings through the southern border for the month of May were reduced to zero, and there was no passing of new law needed to accomplish that, as former President Biden claimed when he was the chief law enforcer.  President Trump finally received a pledge from NATO countries, except for Spain, to raise their military spending in the coming years to 5% of their GDP, which at this time was achieved only by the U.S. and Poland. And the most important, the U.S. pilots, with help of Israelis in preceding days, set back Iran's ability to make nuclear bombs for many years, it seems, not months, as the mainstream media and the Democrats would like as to believe. 

It is clear now to all of us the Democrats, as well as mainstream media, are always looking for something to attack President Trump with. They have no programs, no ideas, no position, no goals. They only try to find something to attack President Trump with, to show that he is a failure, or that what he did is not a success.

TRUMP DELIVERS AGAIN, ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND NEW JOBS IN APRIL

 By reading New York Times or listening to mainstream media you would think that the U.S. economy under Trump is a disaster, the country in ruin. Yet, the market. yet the economy does not care about the mainstream media doomsday narrative. An impressive number of 177,000 new jobs was added throughout the United States in April. Moreover, the stock market has regained whatever it has lost earlier. Yet, I was not able to find on the front page of New York Times any of the above news, as apparently, they do not agree with the New York Times narrative od doomsday the Trump administration is apparently bringing with its economic policies. And that southern border, impressive results obtained without any new legislation. Look, Joe Biden and learn how to take care of things from the man who talks the talk and walks the walk! Or go back to your basement...

WHAT GOES AROUND, IT COMES AROUND

 Letitia James, New York Attorney General, rode on a high horse when on February 17, 2024, greeting New York Supreme Court Judge Engoron's ruling, ordering Donald Trump to pay $354.9 million in penalties and banning him from business in New York State, she said to the cameras, "No one is above the law...". The real estate experts in their majority were of the opinion that Judge Engoron grossly underestimated the value of Mar a Lago property, hence the ruling was very suspect at the least. Letitia James and Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg, in his criminal action against Trump, needed some creative charges and creative justice to get Trump but it appears now that to get Letitia James Trump might not need to stretch anything because apparently Letitia James perpetrated plainly mortgage fraud as well as she "abdicated" her office by establishing her primary residence in the state of Virginia, pursuant to Newsweek story. It appears that 2 months before filing action against Trump, Letitia James amended her own records as part of a real estate transaction. A document signed on August 17, 2023 shows that she intended to change her residence to Norfolk, Virginia. She apparently stated on the mortgage application: "I HEREBY DECLARE that I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence". Newsweek reports that the existence of the evidence was first reported by Sam Antar of the White Collar Fraud Blog. A separate land record stipulates that Letitia James and the co-applicant, her cousin Shamice Thompson-Hairston, "to occupy, establish and use" the Norfolk home as "their principal residence" within 60 days and to keep it their "principal residence" for at least one year. Apparently, Letitia James did not do what she declared in her mortgage application what evidences the mortgage fraud. Pursuant to New York Post, the Trump Administration , in particular, The U.S. Federal Housing Finance  Agency, referred Letitia James, NY Attorney General, for potential prosecution over the alleged mortgage fraud. It seems that we all are sinners, only Jesus Christ was perfect. So, all the politicians, before you start to speak from a high horse, examine your sins, as we all should.

THE DOGS BARK, BUT THE CARAVAN MOVES ON!

 So much noise from the Democrats, known for talk, not the walk, and from the mainstream media, about the tariffs and the markets falling down. They all want soooooo badly President Trump to fail...But we all know that Rome wasn't built in a day. So, President Trump will keep the course, and the investments and jobs will be brought back to America. Full speed ahead!

TRUMP IS CONSISTENT IN HIS ECONOMIC MESSAGE

 On June 26, 1996, while speaking in U.S. Congress, the Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi demanded raising of tariffs as well as reciprocity of tariffs. She was demanding then of the President of the United States "do something about this U.S. China trade relationship that is a job loser for the United States." Now, Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats decry raising of tariffs by President Trump. Apparently, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats constantly change their opinions. In 1988, while appearing on Oprah Winfrey show, a young businessman Donald Trump decried trade imbalance with Japan and other countries and demanded that the United States be done with it and that those countries dumping their goods in the United States share the profits with the America. Trump did not change, as it happens constantly to the Democrats, and now when he can, he is doing something about the trade imbalances and lost jobs to Asian and other countries. Also, the Democrats and majority of the mainstream media sound alarm because of Wall Street dip in the stock value, yet it is obvious that stock valuation has nothing to do with profitability of the company. The Democrats and the media, by inflating the specter of financial crash, attempt to stop Trump Administration from remaking of the American economy.
