What are the types of monkeys to have for pets. Monkeys that are loyal, easy to train, affectionate, easy to housebreak, as little as possible, and a monkey who you can be your best friend. A pet monkey that can and will get along with people, especially little children. I saw many pet monkeys who are like human on youtube videos raised in Vietnam. I like to get a pet monkey for the United States.

There’s a video series about several pet monkeys. Little pet monkeys are extremely intelligent and cute. They are no different than having a little kid that normally behaves. Each pet monkey has its personality. Anyone raise a pet monkey? Watch this short video. The owner of Lilly lives in Vietnam. This video will make your day. 😍

I have always liked former governor Rod Blagojevich of Illinois. However, I think Blagojevich got a bad rap. Barack Hussain Obama is one evil 😈 😳 🤣 son of a bitch crook who had a lot to do with throwing Rod Blagojevich under the bus. After 8 years in the federal penitentiary in Colorado former president Donald Trump pardoned Rod Blagojevich. Obama initiated the demise of Rod Blagojevich. Obama needs to go to HELL.

Here’s breaking NEWS from PFIZER:
PFIZER released the list of side effects of the coronavirus vaccine and the so-called outcry by the “CONSPIRIST THEORISTS” that the COVID-19 VACs was a vaccine to depopulate the WORLD is now FACT and NOT FICTION. Attached, viewers can see the long list of side effects from the KILLER COVID-19 VACCINE which includes heart attack, and blood clots. PFIZER knowingly of the fatal side effects still released the COVID-19 vaccine. Now why the CEO and upper management of PFIZER refusing to get vaccinated makes total sense. Hopefully, Robert Kennedy, Jr and his team get to the bottom of this.

Donald Trump has been officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, making him the only President to serve two non-consecutive terms. Arrangements for the ceremony, which was to take place on the West Front of the Capitol, were changed to the Capitol Rotunda because of very low temperatures outside. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office. Attendees included departing President Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Vice President Kamala Harris, Argentina’s President Javier Milei, and other foreign officials.

“There is nothing to worry about. The vans are bringing us rest encampments so that we will have tents for much-needed rest,” Zinn said. The report is always in question. The Common Price Index for December 2024 showed signals of a surge in inflation with a 0.3 percent rise. The Federal Reserve will likely keep the existing interest rates but will begin changing economy monitoring tools.
Unemployment and Job Numbers:
- The unemployment rate is stable at 4.2%, with an increase of 150,000 jobs in December.
- Growth areas include information technology and healthcare, with light drops in manufacturing.

Political Developments
Cabinet Confirmations:
- The Senate has confirmed hearings for the cabinet nominees presented by President Trump.
- The Secretary of State and Attorney General are other important positions that the two sides of the government will scrutinize.

- Moreover, during his address, he also revealed plans to remove certain civil workers and DEI programs from federal institutions and replace them with loyalists.
Legal Proceedings And Corruption
Numerous state representatives within the country are on the probe for suspected participation in infrastructure projects. To provide people with faith in the governance, the DOJ has promised to resolve these issues with utmost seriousness.
The swearing-in of President Donald Trump for the second term brings with it many challenges, like environmental issues, economic instability, and political transformation within the country. Today will be viewed as a monumental day in the history of the United States. Now, as the country succumbs to these problems, all its citizens and the authorities seek to resolve them with more diligent and stronger interagency collaboration.

I cannot drink soda, no salt, non-fatty foods, and daily exercise. i have ignored the diabetes and just went about eating regular food and treats. Jolly ranchers, ice cream, steaks, greasy burgers, tons of diet soda. Time to grow up and take health a little more seriously. Looking to develop a diet and stick to it and an exercise program and daily routine.

Google introduced new tools for website owners, including owners of social media sites and discussion forums, who want to make a higher presence of their content in Google’s search results. The algorithm changes includes Google’s prioritizing of user-generated web content over SEO-optimized junk, which has increasingly become a problem on today’s modern web. In May, Google first rolled out a new “Perspectives” search filter that would highlight posts from discussion boards like Reddit, Q&A sites like Quora and social media platforms in its search results. The feature, which first arrived on mobile, was launched to desktop users earlier this month along with other search changes.
The company also said its ranking algorithm was being updated to push more of these firsthand perspectives higher in search results so they’re easier to find.
With the new tools, Google is giving websites hosting first-person perspectives the ability to signal to the search engine how their data is structured so their content will be featured both accurately and “as complete as possible” in Google’s Search Results, the company explains.
For example, with the new ProfilePage markup, any site where creators post content will be able to showcase their creators’ profiles directly in Google Search results, including information like their name, handle, profile photo, follower count or the popularity of their content. Both Google’s Perspectives feature and its Discussions and Forums feature can make use of this type of markup.

I am paying off all my credit card debt in the next few days and was wondering if anyone knows how long that will take to reflect on my credit scores? I used the FICO simulator, and according to my existing revolving debt ($5400) and current FICO score (658), if I pay it all off, it would change my score to 718-738.
I want to buy a college graduation present for myself and would like to walk in the door in the best possible position.
Has anyone any advice or information to share? -
Time flies, and everyone wants to limit the wasteful. The time they spend going to the wrong source for research on buying a home and getting approved for a mortgage. Over 80% of our clients at Gustan Cho Associates are borrowers who could not qualify at other mortgage companies due to the lender’s overlays or because the lender did not have the best mortgage loan option

I will be quick to lay out my situation, and I am curious if there are any FHA Manual Underwriters who can do loans in Phoenix, AZ. I’m still working with my broker now but it’s been several months and
still no closing. I’ve refinanced FHA in the past with no issues, and this time, it almost feels like the banks are not approving these loans, even though they are advertising historically low rates.
1. I have had stable employment for two years, coming up in August. With my existing employer, my employment type changed from 1099 to a W2 in April 2019.
2. I have never missed a mortgage payment nor applied for COVID-related deferments.
3. My DTI isn’t the best, but my income has increased since the last time I did an FHA refinance several years ago. My FICO is over 680.
4. The purpose of the refinance is to merge my primary and secondary (HELOC) into a fixed low rate. I do not know what the max LTV ratios are but I’m pretty close to the max if it is 80%. However, I can bring cash to close if required.
5. Increase in income, stable employment, no missed payments on my mortgage EVER, and Quicken denied my refinance and would not tell me why a week before closing. I told them I’m never doing business with them again. I tried working with Northstar, Interactive, and now United Wholesale Mortgage, and it’s been literally three months and still no closing.
Is there something going on with FHA refinances right now that I’m not aware of? United said they are working on a manual underwritten FHA refinance but I have gotten absolutely no feedback in a week and am beginning to think the deal may be dead. If I don’t hear an update by the end of this
week, I’m going to pull it and place it somewhere else, unless there is a reason why this can’t be done that isn’t being disclosed to me.
Am I missing something here? Do I just have the worst luck in the world or is there a bigger problem brewing?
How long does a manually written FHA refinance typically take? If you feel you can do a manual FHA refinance, please contact me. DO NOT WASTE MY TIME WITH CONVENTIONAL AS I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WON’T GET APPROVED.

Absolutely 💯. I am a strong believer of positive criticism and not compliments. That’s how you learn and get better. A lot of people can’t take criticisms. With compliments most people take it to a new arrogance level. However, compliments are well served for people who deserve compliments. Kevin DeLory and Eddy G Perez Jr. Deserve respect and compliments for setting the foundation of EPM. There’s a reason why a mortgage company produces great employees like Christian Sorenson. It’s folks like Christian Sorenson that make a great company. It’s due to a strong foundation. Great leadership makes a great company and differentiates from the mediocre competition. Competition never sleeps. Thanks for everything you do Mr. Perez and Mr. DeLory. Giving us loan officers the opportunity to do tough loans gives the dream of homeownership become a reality for hard working Americans. You guys are the true silent heroes who are appreciated and not taken for granted. Love all your inspirational videos, sir. Don’t stop being you. Never try to miss Mr. DeLory’s videos no matter how hectic my day is.

I built a manufactured home from ground up in 2017. Beautiful home, with garage on concrete foundations on five acres. You cannot tell it is a manufactured home and more like a custom stick built home. This is the scenariou:
1. Aprraisal came in at $210,000.
2. I needed a $225,000 appraisal.
3. Now I am over debt to income ratio.
4. Credit Scores: Middle FICO is 660
5. Wanted to pay off outstanding debts including cars with the proceeds of the refinance.
6. Got a conditional loan approval at $210,000,
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to make the cash-out refinance work? I cannot add a non-occupant co-borrower because it is an FHA loan and HUD does not accept non-occupant co-borrowers on cash-out refinace. I cannot get a piggyback 80-19-10 because all non-QM and traditional mortgage lenders in the United States do not allow second mortgages or HELOCs on manufactured homes. It would have to go conventional loan if there was a second mortgage lender that would allow a second mortgage on manufactured home? Any ideas would be so very much appreaciated.
