FACTED CHECKED. Joe Biden is not the greatest president. Actually, it is the very opposite. Polls reveal Joe Biden is worse than Jimmy Carter so it is rather of a unique accomplishment. It was an important task so therefore, I guess he does deserve a congratualtions.

Thank you Brent Norkus. Great topic. Most of Louisiana require flood insurance. Can you shop for flood insurance or you can only get it from one source which is FEMA. I am getting various different answers.

MemberDecember 22, 2023 at 8:24 pm in reply to: Solution For High Debt-To-Income Ratio BorrowersDebt-to-income ratio is the minimum debt payments divided by your monthly gross income.
Qualifying for a mortgage with a high debt-to-income ratio can be challenging, but there are several strategies you can consider to improve your chances. Lenders typically prefer borrowers with a debt-to-income ratio below 43%, but some lenders may be more flexible. Here are some potential solutions:
Increase Your Income:
Negotiate a raise or seek additional sources of income, such as a part-time job or freelance work.
Include other sources of income, such as bonuses, alimony, child support, or rental income.
Reduce Your Debt:
Pay off high-interest debts, such as credit cards, to lower your overall debt burden.
Consider consolidating debts to lower interest rates and simplify payments.
Increase Your Down Payment:
A larger down payment can make you a more attractive borrower. Consider saving more before applying for a mortgage.
Co-Signer:
Having a co-signer with a lower debt-to-income ratio may improve your chances. Keep in mind that the co-signer is taking on responsibility for the loan.
Consider Government-backed Loans:
Some government-backed loans, such as FHA loans, may be more lenient with debt-to-income ratios. Check the requirements for these programs.
Shop Around for Lenders:
Different lenders may have different criteria and may be more or less flexible. Shop around and explore various lenders, including credit unions and online lenders.
Reserve Assets:
Demonstrating that you have sufficient reserves (savings) can reassure lenders about your ability to handle mortgage payments.
Improve Credit Score:
A higher credit score can sometimes offset concerns about a high debt-to-income ratio. Check your credit report for errors and work on improving your score.
Consider a Co-Borrower:
If you have a family member or friend willing to be a co-borrower, their income can be considered to improve the overall debt-to-income ratio.
Debt Counseling:
Seek the assistance of a credit counselor to help you develop a plan to manage your debt effectively.
Manual Underwriting:
Some lenders offer manual underwriting, which allows for a more individualized assessment of your financial situation. This can be helpful if your circumstances are unique.
It’s crucial to communicate openly with potential lenders about your financial situation. Some lenders may be more understanding or flexible, especially if you can provide a strong case for your ability to handle mortgage payments responsibly. However, it’s important to be realistic about your financial situation and not take on more debt than you can comfortably manage.
Shop for lower homeowners insurance. Lower homeowners insurance premium can lower your debt-to-income ratio.

The Biden Crime Family needs to get investigated and justice needs to be done. Nobody is above the law. This is not the wild good old west where everything goes and lawlessness exist if you are a member of a crime family. Joe Biden never had a job in his entire life. He has become a multi-millionaire due to his corrupt acts using the U.S. taxpayers. All his cronies need to be brought to justice as accessories to the kingpin to an enemy of the state. Richard Nixon was nothing compared to the Biden Crime Family.

I totally agree with Sapna. Childhood is the best time. No worries, innocence, and the whole world on your side. Your parents and family out there to protect you.
Childhood is the period of life that typically ranges from infancy to adolescence. It is characterized by rapid physical, cognitive, and emotional development. During this time, individuals undergo significant changes and acquire fundamental skills that form the basis for their future development.
Key aspects of childhood include:
-
Physical Development: This encompasses changes in motor skills, growth in height and weight, and the development of sensory abilities. Infants go through stages such as crawling, walking, and fine motor skill development, while older children experience puberty and the associated physical changes.
-
Cognitive Development: Childhood is a critical period for cognitive growth. Piaget’s stages of cognitive development outline the progression from sensorimotor intelligence in infants to formal operational thought in adolescents. Children learn to think, reason, problem-solve, and develop language skills during this time.
-
Emotional Development: Emotional development involves the ability to understand, express, and manage emotions. Children form attachments to caregivers, develop a sense of self, and learn to navigate social relationships. Emotional experiences during childhood can have a lasting impact on mental health and well-being.
-
Social Development: Children begin to interact with others and develop social skills. They learn about social norms, relationships, and the importance of cooperation. Peer relationships become increasingly important during childhood, influencing social and emotional development.
-
Educational Development: Childhood is a time for learning and education. Formal education typically begins in early childhood and continues through adolescence. Children acquire essential knowledge and skills that lay the foundation for further academic and vocational pursuits.
-
Play: Play is a crucial aspect of childhood. It serves as a means for exploration, creativity, and social interaction. Different types of play, including imaginative play, games, and sports, contribute to various aspects of development.
-
Family Influence: The family environment plays a significant role in shaping a child’s values, beliefs, and behaviors. Parental guidance, support, and the overall family dynamic contribute to a child’s overall development.
Childhood experiences have a profound impact on an individual’s future well-being and success. Positive and nurturing environments, along with access to education and healthcare, contribute to healthy childhood development. Adverse experiences or lack of essential resources can hinder development and have long-term consequences.

The COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in various countries have undergone rigorous testing in clinical trials to ensure their safety and efficacy. The overwhelming majority of people who receive the vaccines experience only mild side effects, such as soreness at the injection site, fatigue, headache, or mild flu-like symptoms. Severe adverse reactions are extremely rare.
It’s important to note that vaccines, like any medical intervention, may have risks, but these risks are generally outweighed by the benefits of preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. The vaccines have undergone extensive testing in clinical trials involving tens of thousands of participants, and they continue to be monitored for safety as they are distributed to the public.
If someone experiences a severe reaction after receiving the vaccine, it is crucial to report it to healthcare authorities. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that the vast majority of people who receive the COVID-19 vaccine do not experience life-threatening reactions.
If you have specific concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine or its potential side effects, it’s recommended to consult with healthcare professionals who can provide personalized information based on your health history and individual circumstances. Overall, the benefits of vaccination in preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19 far outweigh the potential risks associated with the vaccines.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is generally considered a safe and effective procedure for correcting common vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. However, like any surgical procedure, LASIK does carry some risks and potential complications.
Common side effects of LASIK can include dry eyes, glare, halos, double vision, and difficulties with night vision. These side effects are usually temporary and improve over time. Serious complications are rare but can include infection, persistent dry eyes, and changes in vision.
It’s essential to note that individual outcomes can vary, and not everyone is a suitable candidate for LASIK. Factors such as age, overall health, and eye health play a role in determining eligibility for the procedure. A thorough evaluation by an experienced eye surgeon is necessary to assess whether LASIK is a suitable option for a particular individual.
Advancements in technology and surgical techniques have improved the safety and precision of LASIK over the years. However, it’s crucial for individuals considering LASIK to have realistic expectations, fully understand the potential risks, and carefully follow pre- and post-operative instructions.
Patients should consult with an eye care professional or an ophthalmologist for the latest information on LASIK safety and whether it is a suitable option for your specific situation. They can provide a more current assessment based on your individual health and eye condition.

There are two sides of coronavirus pandemic. It is a political divide between political parties. Most republicans swear to coronavirus being created by Dr. Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, and the Globalists. Democrats and Globalist think coronavirus outbreak is the real thing and belive the idea that the coronavirus is a deliberate weapon of mass destruction is a conspiracy theory that lacks scientific support. The overwhelming consensus among experts is that the virus, officially named SARS-CoV-2, has a natural origin, likely emerging from a wildlife source, possibly a wet market in Wuhan, China.
Numerous studies have examined the virus’s genetic makeup, and the scientific community widely accepts that it is a product of natural evolution. The World Health Organization (WHO), after conducting investigations, also stated that it is highly unlikely that the virus was created in a laboratory.
Conspiracy theories related to the intentional release of the coronavirus as a weapon have been debunked by reputable sources and are often fueled by misinformation and political motivations. It is crucial to rely on information from credible scientific sources and health organizations to better understand the origins of the virus and its impact. False narratives and unfounded claims can contribute to public confusion and hinder efforts to combat the pandemic effectively.
