FIRST on #FridayNightZillow, a West Vancouver modern megamansion. Hopefully the eye candy will put a smile on your face.
$14.88M Canadian. Heated driveway. Not quite sure how to describe this INSANE decor but it pops! zillow.com/homedetails/10…
I guess when you are in Canada the thought of six fires burning is ... luxury? I can't tell if these are real fires or TV screens. #FridayNightZillow
I normally don't like white kitchens but I like this one. Interesting backsplash. But is the fridge a smidge too close to the oven? #FridayNightZillow
Pretty sweet basement. This is a party house. The theater is a little too distracting for my taste. #FridayNightZillow
Sometimes the best room in the house is ... the staircase? #FridayNightZillow
I sure hope this pool is heated, because Canada. Meanwhile, "features include a private Gondola from the street entrance for guests" #FridayNightZillow
You can get an even bigger 5BR Victorian in Canton, PA for just $195K!🔥 Presently used as a law office and looks like it's in good shape though you might need to figure out the A/C situation. 5BR, 2BA, >3K sf. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/23…
You can get a cool, updated Midcentury Modern house in Jacksonville for $850K. >4K sf. Indoor pool. Sort of a Brady Brunch feel. I love the updated kitchen and the lounge chairs. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/22…
Somebody finally groks that you shouldn't have to crane your head up to see your TV. But I think they should have sprung for a $500 70" model on Black Friday instead of whatever this is. #FridayNightZillow
Indoor pool with ... escape hatch? Groovy. #FridayNightZillow. I'd upgrade the chairs to Polywood or similar.
One of the better church conversions I've seen. $829K so it's not cheap. Bright and cheery unlike most. Delightful bathtub. Florida on #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/58…
Cute stone Tudor cottage in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with Lake Winnebago views and a 2-car garage for, checks notes, <$200K? (!!!) What am I missing? #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/13…
$489K buys you a tasteful family retreat in the Poconos. I hope the coffee table conveys. Antler decor though is not my thing. Sadly, still no wine glass bathtub despite my nationwide search. Seems like you could Air B&B this easy. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/13…
The house itself is pretty nice. Dream kitchen, library. But really, it's the views. #FridayNightZillow
Another awesome Midcentury Modern house with an updated kitchen, great windows, courtyard. quirks. Westerville, Ohio. $795K. Open house is tomorrow. I could totally live here. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/45…
LOVELOVELOVE this design: "In 1970 Louis P. Benua created a design that allowed him to see his children without hearing them. Two parallel wings with walls of glass overlook a central courtyard garden, and are connected by a glass corridor." #FridayNightZillow
One wing of the house has the bedrooms, the other the entertaining area. Just brilliant. Much better than forcing people to go up and down stairs all day. #FridayNightZillow
If you want to read more on the vampire home, it's owned by Kat Von D and has plenty of history. Was also featured in "Cheaper By the Dozen." I guess I'm now a Kat Von D fan? #FridayNightZillow Via People: people.com/home/kat-von-d…
Romance! I hope you enjoyed this edition of #FridayNightZillow. Special thanks to my wife and sister-in-law for finding most of the homes tonight, and for readers who sent in vampire house, the Westerville house and more.
Two years ago, Congress considered banning 18-20 year-olds from buying AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles after the Uvalde massacre, and some Republicans were briefly open to doing so but ultimately blocked including a ban in the bipartisan gun bill signed by Biden.
Then-Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law raising the age to buy guns in his state to 21 after the Parkland massacre, but then opposed doing the same for the nation as a US Senator. He told reporters it was easier to do it at the state level.
McConnell actually enacted a law one day to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. But he didn't want to talk two years ago about a proposal to raise the age for buying rifles.
Soaring cost estimates for extending Trump tax cuts set up a crucial 2025 fight:
*CBO puts tab at $4.6 Trillion over next decade
*Fight comes with US debt far higher than 2017, interest costs ballooning & Social Security cliff looming...
w/@chrisjcondon bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
*Trump wants more tax cuts, along with massive new tariffs — aka a tax on imports — that would raise consumer prices but offset at least some of the cost.
*Biden wants to extend breaks <$400K a year paired with higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
If past is prologue, Congress will again play Santa Claus. With a few exceptions, Congress has repeatedly increased spending and cut taxes since 2001.
Tonight's #FridayNightZillow is kicking off with a *House of the Year* contender. It's amazeballs! We just need to crowdfund $2.795M. We get 9,825 square feet of sheer madness on 36 acres in gorgeous Plymouth, Minnesota! I love it!!! INSANE sinks, WEIRD art, WILD ceilings, AMAZING kitchen, views, colors galore, a pond, a party shower and much, MUCH more. Several of you sent me this gem! 🧵 zillow.com/homedetails/51…
This is a Sink! #SinkZillow #FridayNightZillow
This is a Sink! #SinkZillow #FridayNightZillow #OMG
Three words: OLD. JAIL. INN. Time to retire and move to Rockville, Indiana! Just $445K buys us 10BRs, 6BAs, and a licensed wine bar in the basement! Welcome to #FridayNightZillow! Follow along for an epic collection of funky homes. zillow.com/homedetails/12…
"What happens in jail stays in jail" lol. Jail-bar pillows are a nice touch. #FridayNightZillow
One of the scarier things I've seen on Zillow. Let's hope this is a prop and not an actual electric chair. #FridayNightZillow
Ozempic can be produced for less than $5 a month, a new study found, but Danish company Novo Nordisk charges Americans $968.52. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Bernie Sanders insisting the company charge Americans no more than it charges Canadians for the same drug.
Ozempic pricing page. Many people get discounts on this price, or have insurance companies (ie premiums) or taxpayers pay the bill. novopricing.com/ozempic.html
McConnell helped nix:
Roe
Campaign finance reform
Individual mandate
Medicare dental & vision
Dream Act
$35 insulin cap
Minimum wage hike
Flag burning amendment
Making Election Day a holiday
Public option
SCOTUS filibuster
Pro Act 1/6 Commission
Oil export ban
Cap&trade
Tax hikes
Vast majority of laws since 2007 have had either the acquiescence of McConnell or his outright support, with notable exceptions, like the Affordable Care Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, Obama stimulus, Biden Covid relief, Dodd-Frank, Lilly Ledbetter, USA Freedom Act, Paygo.
One way to look at McConnell is that he has often had the role of editor of Congress. Empowered by the filibuster and his conference, he had a key veto point in Washington; spending, taxing and legislating had to pass through his filter.
