That's a quote from this video. One guess who they were talking about.

They are showing his rally in Detroit right now and the debate issue has completely flipped the coverage. He is getting all the camera time and Trump is suddenly not.

He is doing good this rally too and playing up the underdog and sympathy and going after Trump. He keeps it up and can not ever have a repeat of the debate, he just might do a 180 on how this race is doing because finally, America is seeing him. And not Trump.

Here you go.

What do you guys think of this list? I thought his confusion of kamala/trump and zalenski/putin could have at least been an honorable mention.

• The share of renters who believe that they one day will be able to afford a home, fell to a record low 13.4%, according to a New York Federal Reserve survey released Monday.
• There's not a lot of good news on the renting front, either. Respondents expect rental costs to increase by 9.7% over the next year.

The dream of home ownership has gotten even further away for renters, with higher housing costs and elevated interest rates standing in the way of the American housing dream, according to a New York Federal Reserve survey released Monday.

The share of renters as of February who possess hopes of "residential mobility," or the belief from renters that they one day will be able to afford a home, fell to a record low 13.4% in the central bank's annual housing survey for 2024.

That's down from 15% in 2023 and well off the 20.8% series high back in 2014.

Pessimism about future prospects comes amid a confluence of factors conspiring against the likelihood of renters being able to transition to home ownership.

For one, some 74.2% of renters viewed obtaining a mortgage as somewhat or very difficult, which the New York Fed said has "deteriorated substantially" from the 66.5% level in 2023 and 63.1% in 2022.

Moreover, mortgage rates have remained high by historical standards. A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage now carries an average 7.22% borrowing rate, the highest since late November 2023, according to Freddie Mac.

Housing affordability has improved little, with the median price in February at $388,700, the highest since November, according to the National Association of Realtors. The NAR's housing affordability index was at 103 in February, down slightly from January but still at elevated levels with average monthly housing payments at $2,040.

Survey respondents expect housing prices to increase 5.1% over the next year, nearly double the 2.6% expected rate in February 2023 and above the pre-pandemic mean of 4.2%.

Despite prospects for the Fed to cut interest rates before the end of 2024, respondents think mortgage rates are only going to go higher. The outlook for a year from now is that borrowing costs will be 8.7%, and 9.7% in three years, both survey records.

There's not a lot of good news on the renting front, either. Respondents expect rental costs to increase by 9.7% over the next year, up 1.5 percentage points from last year's survey and the second highest in series history.

The results come a week after the Federal Open Market Committee voted to hold benchmark interest rates steady while indicating that there has been "a lack of further progress" in its efforts to bring the annual inflation rate back down to 2%.

Futures market pricing is indicating that the Fed will begin lowering rates in September, with a another cut likely to come in December.

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!

It's funny that the app once used to secretly track kids is now used by those same kids to keep in contact with their friends.
We never tracked our kids but they have the app now and track all their friends. Apparently it's a thing with this generation.

I was refreshing myself on the 1992 election, the first I was old enough to follow when I was younger. Ross Perot ran as a 3rd party and got shut out of electoral votes but he still got almost 20 million people to vote for him. That was good for almost 19 percent of the vote.

We knew terrible vs terrible was a long time coming in 2024. This replay has been setting up for over THREE YEARS. Plenty of time for a 3rd party to run a real campaign, but no one has. Your extremists on both sides will still vote D or R to oppose the other team, and that's not going to change anytime time soon, but my god there has never been more of a time to snatch votes from reasonable people that can see how ridiculous the choice is. Seriously, what gives? Is there some illuminati shit and they got to any challengers before they could arise and said they'd be taken out if they tried?

I really did forget how many votes Perot actually got and I was stunned when I looked it up. Substitute Biden and Trump for Bush and Clinton and imagine what happens in '92.

Time for Hamas to lay down their arms and surrender and end this war.

Mohammed Deif (believed by many to be the chief architect of the Oct. 7 attack) and a second Hamas commander, Rafa Salama, were the targets.

The strike took place inside the Israeli-designated safe zone.

The free story from the AP (updated 15 minutes ago, at 7:56 AM CDT, July 13, 2024):

In the fall of 2014, Andrew Wilson took a front-row seat in Ken Ono’s number theory class at Emory University in Atlanta. Wilson was not only double majoring in applied math and physics, he was a walk-on member of Emory’s swim team. Ono took an interest in Wilson’s ambitions. “We thought that together, maybe we could use our interest in mathematics to help him improve as a swimmer,” Ono said.

Ono, who typically studies abstract patterns in numbers and special functions called modular forms, began collecting and analyzing acceleration data from Wilson and other Emory swimmers to identify and quantify their weaknesses. “It got to the point where I could just see what an athlete was doing without actually watching them swim,” he said.

Within two years, Wilson won a national collegiate championship; he would go on to earn a gold medal at the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo. By then, Ono had moved to the University of Virginia, where he worked alongside Todd DeSorbo — the head coach for both UVA swimming and the U.S. Olympic women’s swim team. Ono will join the Olympic team staff in Paris later this summer as a technical consultant. “I feel like we’re all in this together, trying to make something new,” he said.

Quanta spoke with Ono about how he has used mathematics to help swimmers make it to the Olympic stage. The interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

So how successful has your program been?
The results speak for themselves. A bunch of our people went to the Olympics in 2021. At the most recent world championships, every female American gold medalist in individual events was a UVA athlete. Kate Douglass showed up here at UVA a few years ago, swimming the 200-meter breaststroke in two minutes and 30 seconds. Now she’s the American record holder, with a time of two minutes, 19.30 seconds. She just broke the U.S. Olympic trials’ all-time record, and she’s a favorite to win the Olympics this year.

Nine UVA athletes, including Kate, just became U.S. Olympians — one-fifth of the U.S. team! Gretchen Walsh won the 100-meter butterfly, setting the world record. Paige Madden got second in the 400-meter freestyle, right after Katie Ledecky; Paige is now a two-time Olympian.


Ken Ono has helped analyze and improve the performance of some of America’s best swimmers, combining his enthusiasm for math and sports.

And there’s no hard feelings about the recent denials….
