You can be the best of the best mortgage loan originator, mortgage sales manager, mortgage branch manager, or mortgage company owner but without customer leads, what good is it. You can be a doctor with the cure to cancer but if nobody knows about it, what benefit does it have to society. You can graduate from Harvard, Yale, or Stanford Law School and have interned for Supreme Court Justices and be the best litigator in the world but without clients, you will not make descent money and may be eating Ramen noodles eveyday. However, you ever see those commercials in the wee hours in the mortgage from ambulance chancer attorneys? The lawyers that advertise they can get you millions for your injuries? Well, most of those lawyers are law school graduates who barely graduated and took them three, four, five times to pass the BAR exam and get licensed. But those lawyers are the ones that are making millions because they know how to market. Whether from organic traffic from the search engines, paid Google Ads, or television infomercials, they are marketing genius and are reaping the rewards due to reaching out to their audiences. That is how organic traffic through Google and search engines is key for loan officers and real estate professionals.

In this eLearning FORUM, I will cover how I started my mortgage website and the learning curve of my website to go viral. I am now counting nothing but organic traffic for my team of loan officers and am able to help other loan officers interested in getting organic traffic for their loan origination business. Nobody helped me while I was growing my online mortgage loan origination business so I want to give the community back by sharing my road to learning on my own through trial and error. This eLearning Forum on how to generate organic traffic from the search engines will be a series on what I had to go through, the hurdles I encountered, and the challenges that I am still facing. I created an online business marketing platform through Viral Website Developers and the Great Content Authority FORUMS (GCA FORUMS) where me and my digital marketing and technical team can offer a few select mortgage and real estate professionals a pilot program to expand my business model in an expedited system where you are able to get organic leads without paying in a fraction of the time it took me. When I first started my career as a full time mortgage loan originator, in April 2012, I tried everything possible to get leads. I cold called realtors, accountants, financial planners, and attorneys. Nothing gave me instant gratification so I explored buying leads. The very expensive leads were successful but cost $500 to $1,000 per lead. I could not afford that kind of money, therefore I purchased dollar leads. Boy was that a clustermess and stressful. I was calling these dollar leads to get yelled at from people without jobs and 400 credit scores getting called loser, get a real job, and many other humiliating names. I decided I wanted to be like Zillow and develop my own website. I created my own website on January 3rd, 2013 and went to work. I purchased my domain from GoDaddy and had a website company create a mortgage website with my newly purchased domain. To this date, I have never purchased a mortgage lead since I created and launched and started my website on January 3rd, 2013. The reason I started my website.

I did not know much about technology nor generating organic leads to originate loans. However, I set my mind that was what I wanted to do and started on my journey. I hired multiple so called SEO experts and none were successful. These so called SEO experts are nothing but fortune tellers and normally just want your money the only thing they are great at is talking out of their ass’s. From the time I created and started my website, I must have re-started my website from scratch at least 20 times or more. I knew that content was king so I started with posting content seven days a week. One thing I did not realize was that duplicate content was penalized by Google and the search engines. I then had to scratch all that and trash whatever I posted and get back to the drawing board. I started writing original content and my website started getting some recognition from Google where after six months I was getting a few leads a week where I was able to originate two to three loans a month. It started to work. I did not have a team and all I needed was a few loans a month to make a living. Religiously, I was posting new content daily and my organic unique daily visitors was increasing. During the tenure of owning and operating my website, I always seeked help, hired free lancers, and sought ways of improving daily unique visitors to my website. One thing you need to realize is that nobody will help you increase organic traffic because they consider you as competition. I will go over step by step on my mistakes and the process on developing how I am able to have a team of loan officers, support, operations, and marketing staff from mainly having a large online presence with digital media marketing and social media platform. I will discuss what Viral Website Developers has to offer. We are not website or online tool sales. We are open minded in partnering up with select mortgage professionals in expanding our online platform through Viral Website Developers where it will be a win win for our affiliates, subsidiaries, and partners. By learning what I have gone through, you can have your one-stop online mortgage business including organic lead platform in the fraction of the time it took me. It took me more than ten years to perfect my system. My team at GCA Mortgage Group generated $250,000 million dollars in 2021 with 14 states. The company we were in had high rates on government and conventional loans with only three non-qm wholesale mortgage lenders. 90% of the volume we did in 2021 were from organic leads from the search engines and we did not purchase a single lead. Now, we are at NEXA Mortgage since February 24th, 2022 with 48 licensed states including Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. There is not reason why team GCA Mortgage Group should not be able to generate one billion in annual production through branch provided organic traffic. We are hiring independent loan officers wanting to have their own branch, and select loan officers who want to be tied to a branch at GCA Mortgage Group. For loan officers who are either sponsored by a member of Gustan Cho Associates or are a member of our branch, you will have the benefits of learning our unique organic lead production system and become an owner operator of the one-stop shop mortgage platform. Stay tuned. We will cover more content on this topic.

I will continue this forum in the coming days.

I drink and I smoke!

Hey, I bet you just got a visual of me! Ha! But what I mean is, I drink great wine and I smoke food on a smoker. What? Let me explain.

I live in Northern California and LOVE eating outside during the spring, summer, and fall. A few years ago, my husband, a licensed general contractor, built me an outdoor kitchen. My love for this kitchen is deep! However, the grill he installed scared the living daylights out of me. I was literally afraid to use it, and my husband, busy with work, didn’t have time to grill. So, I found a school—yes, a BBQ school. We signed up for classes and spent a weekend in San Francisco, CA, learning all about grilling, using that intimidating grill, and getting creative with our summer meals. Then, there was a segment on smoking. Hmm, I thought I wouldn’t want to do that, but since it was part of the course, we gladly learned about it.

This is where things took a turn—I became OBSESSED with smoking food. I mean, really obsessed! So guess what? We came back home and bought a Traeger smoker! And guess what I do more than grill now? Yes, you guessed it—I smoke!

As a sommelier, I love pairing wines with food, and I find it super fun and interesting to pair smoked foods with wine. Does anyone else smoke? Let’s talk!

The Curse of the Sopranos

Most everyone has seen the Soprano’s, one of the greatest television shows ever. I was a late comer to the Sopranos when it started in 1999. I was working nights and didn’t have HBO. My sister in New York would call me and tell me about this new mafia comedy set in New Jersey. Of course I knew Jersey mobsters growing up, they differed from New York mobsters. Now, rasicm comes in all shapes and sizes. I was writing for a local newspaper and I was the food and wine editor. Some other writers, who studied journalism were on the staff. They never paid me any mind until the Sopranos, each Monday morning when the discussions should have been about current events, turned to discussions about the TV show, which I had never seen. Always asking me what do this mean, or what does that mean. One question which took me a while to figure out was, what does, “Maname?” I would answer I don’t know what you mean. Then one day I figured it out, “Madonna Mia.” Mother Mary or my mother was the answer.

My sister would still call and ask if I saw the show. I still never saw it. Yes, I am a New York Italian. Not all of us were in the mafia. If you want to piss off and Italian, put ice in your wine, and ask him about the mafia. We all knew who they were growing up. Suddenly, I was looked at as a once member. I tried to dispel this theory, but to now avail.

My sister would call and say have you seen the show and finally I did. It’s a friggin comedy! And the funny part all the ‘boys’ were comics in real life. I remember drinking with Ralph Gigante and he made me pee my pants. I recall when I was treated unfairly in a neighborhood business deal Ralpie spoke on my behalf. He said watch this, we walked into the shop of the unfair person took one look at Ralpie, “The Beast.” and cowarded on the floor pleading, “don’t tell Vinny, please!” The intimidation was a comedy act, like the Sopranos.

I was really perceived as a New Jersey mobster, I would say, “I’m from New York ,” it didn’t make a difference. Fast forward to 2008, I return to New York armed with incomparable wine knowledge. No New York restaurant would hire me, I was too New York and represented the mob. This was difficult to overcome. I was home and I didn’t fit in. Fast forward once again to 2022. My financial advisor shows up at my home one afternoon with real bad news. The first thing he says is, “don’t hit me, but I lose 20 percent of your investment, “please don’t hit!” What the fuck! I think, he’s watching too many Soprano shows. Yes, I am intimidating, I’m big with broken fingers from boxing, and I’m Italian! Now I get it! Okay lets fast forward one more time to 2023. My wife and I at the deli counter ordering cold cuts, that’s what we call them,not sandwich meat, cold cuts. I ask the deli man for a half pond of capicola. My wife asks what’s that, and I answer ‘gabbagoul.” Looking shocked she says, “that’s what Tony Soprano eats!”

The problem with racism is that the book IS judged my its color. Some parts may be true. One time my daughter was having a problem with a guy she worked with in California. Me living in Florida told her, “you know I’ll be on the next flight out, just to talk to him.” And I add, “tell him where I was born and show him a picture and ask him, “do you what to meet my dad?”

The guy never bothered her again. My own daughter was scared of my appearance, but she knew better, she knew me.

Please don’t fear me, and please don’t piss me off.

I’m not sure where to post this, religion, pets, or hobbies.

Sex before marriage is a sin, unless you do it doggy-style, all dogs go to heaven.

I may have been destined to become a concert pianist. After all, I began my piano lessons at age 7, like my two older sisters. Piano playing was a prerequisite for the Catholic school we attended. A nun, Sister Stella had a sister who was also a nun at St. Anthony of Padua in lower Manhattan; her name was Sister Catherine Marie. Sister Stella, who was in her 80’s, small and ornery, had the difficult task of teaching us. My love of music was put on the back burner after I realized the pain and agony involved in learning. A wooden ruler would grace your knuckles for every sour note, not like the piano was ever properly tuned. The fear of striking the wrong key would resonate through my body. I would begin to sweat, and I already stuttered, which didn’t help. By the time I was eight, my knuckles were raised with callouses. I was the envy of the martial arts world.

My earliest memory of nuns was when I was in the first grade, standing in line after lunch, waiting to go back inside the classroom. The kid behind me didn’t appreciate his lunch, or maybe he was scheduled for a piano lesson and threw up on my pants. He vomited all over the back of me. The nuns felt this was not part of their job description to clean me and began to yell at me. What did I do? They called for my older sister, who was in the 8th grade, to come down and clean me up. I was crying, stuttering, and everyone was yelling at me. That day I learned every curse word in the book; my sister was muttering them under her breath.

As I have mentioned, I stuttered, and I was a big kid, so I sat in the back of the classroom. Because I stuttered, I was made fun of, and the nuns who were teaching me thought I was either an idiot or I couldn’t see well. But they didn’t move me to the front of the class. Instead, they told my parents I needed glasses. Duh? Glasses to cure stuttering! I started wearing reading glasses when I was 55; to this very day, my distance vision is great. Funny, back then, whatever a nun would suggest, my parents, and all parents, would blindly follow.

I wasn’t particularly bright. Since I stuttered, I never raised my hand to give the answer. One day I knew the answer; I raised my hand. I am beaming with information this time, “Sister, Sister, Sister.” She ignored me and said, “John, what’s the answer.” As John searched his heart and soul for the answer, my insides were bursting, and I yelled out the answer. No one knew I even had a voice; I did, and I wanted to answer. When I bellowed out the answer, the nun turned to me and said, “Is your name John?” I was sent to Mother Superior’s office. Mother Bettina was not a force to be reckoned with. She was 90 if she was a day. You knew you were in deep trouble when she rolled her sleeves up. I always wondered what was up their sleeves? She kept a metal ruler handy, not wood, metal, probably because the wooden rulers cracked after so much use. If you failed a test by 10 points, that meant ten cracks on your open palms to make up the difference in your grade. If you still failed, they didn’t give you back the points, just the pain. My knuckles were sore, and my palms were beet red; I could hardly hold a pencil. That yelling out in class got me ten cracks, and I knew the answer! What a way to teach.

My sister Joanne was left-handed. The nuns constantly tried to correct this; they thought being left-handed was a problem. Ironically, my sister became a Sister herself. I never thought nuns were human; I thought they had wheels for their feet like robots. Then one day, their habits were adjusted for more comfort. Imagine my surprise!! Oh, my, they have hair and feet! I then realized they were human.

I am a 1970 Cherry Red Chevy Camaro Convertible that has been stored in the back of a garage from the day I was purchased new. I cost $3,000 back in the day, the dream car of most red-blooded American boys. The young man who purchased me died in Vietnam later that year. The sadness I felt when I heard the news was overwhelming. He took me out only once, with his girlfriend, for a drive with my top down and four on the floor. We were the envy of everyone. It was a wonderful ride with James and Cathy; I can still hear their laughter. James had a hardy laugh. He thought about returning to his girlfriend and me with hopes of starting a new future. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always turn out the way we plan. I wonder what happened to Cathy?

His parents never got over their loss, and I was a painful reminder of their loving son. So, here I sat for 50 years. The parents thought many times of selling me. However, I was the last thing their son bought before being deployed. Both parents have passed, and my future is questionable. There are no grandchildren to pass the car on to, so I am being sold at an auction. I hear I’m worth a pretty penny.

James, my original owner, has a brother, Tom, who will handle the auction and the proceeds. He has mixed feelings about selling me. He’d rather keep me, but the old house and garage are being sold, and I have nowhere to go. The burlap tarp that covers me in the garage has kept me rust-free. I long to be started and hear the roar of my 350 cubic inches V8 engine with 375 horsepower. I need to blow out my carburetor and breathe life into me once again. I can go from zero to sixty in seven seconds and hit a quarter-mile in fifteen seconds at ninety-four miles per hour; not too shabby!

It will be a closed auction with bids submitted quietly. The highest bid will not necessarily win me. Tom is requesting a letter to accompany the silent bid. Tom wants me to go to a nice, caring family that will keep his brother’s memory alive. He doesn’t want me to be sold to a spoiled kid who will race me and never maintain me. I do not want to be pimped out with spoilers or painted racing stripes. I am a classic and should remain so!

Tom has received dozens of letters with bids; it will take some time to read and figure out who is who. One bid was $80,000! Can you believe that? However, the letter didn’t sit well with Tom; they wanted me for Hollywood. I’m from South Carolina; why would I want to go to Hollywood? They want to paint and repaint me according to the needs of the movie and race me in car chases. Tom declined the offer. Another bid was almost as high as $75,000, but the letter was from a rich guy who wanted to give me to his son for graduating high school. I don’t want any privileged kid owning me. High school kid, racing me with his pals, I don’t think so.

After reading a dozen or more letters, Tom was getting frustrated with the responses. One letter was totally absurd. They offered $3000, my purchase price. Are you serious! I’m worth 20 times that. Tom didn’t even read the letter; he just discarded it with the rest of the letters he felt didn’t meet the bill. Foolish man; he was 50 years old, not too well off with money, and wanted me, really? What use would he have for me, just showing off as he went through his mid-life crisis?

Another letter was a sob story of how a guy had the same car back in the day and felt he needed this car because it was owed to him. Tom had it with all these phony letters. He placed them all in a box and put them on my front seat. Where was I going? What was my future?

One letter fell from the box, it was the offer for $3000, which Tom never read. I noticed an old black and white photo of a young girl and baby boy. The boy’s name was James. Tom didn’t make the connection, well, not yet, anyway.

The silent auction went according to schedule, all the letters were read, and Tom was just about to make his decision when he noticed an older woman in the back of the room. She was accompanied by a man. I’d say the man was about 50 years old. Tom peered into the eyes of both of them and began to cry. The auction was momentarily stopped so Tom could compose himself. Tom raced back to me and opened the box of rejected letters. He rifled through the letters, and the black and white photo fell out. He stared hard and deep at the picture, the boy resembled his brother James, and the young girl was Cathy! His mind raced with thoughts of 50 years ago. Could this possibly be Cathy and his nephew!

The auction resumed, and Tom made his decision on who would take me home. He read the letter that he once quickly discarded:

Tom,

You may not remember me, I was James’ girlfriend Cathy back in 1970, and this is his son, James. My love for your brother never ceased. I kept my secret long enough. I didn’t want to burden your family. They were grieving too much. We were in love. The only time James and I road in the car was that one time. We vowed our love that day. I was three months pregnant when I heard he was killed in Vietnam. I was so lost that I even thought about an abortion. I needed a memory of my true love and kept his son. There is nothing left for my son to remember his dad. I’m an old lady now and raised James Jr. by myself. I’m not looking for money, just a memory.

Thank you,

Cathy

Tom began to cry. He was in total shock. He ended the auction by stating: We found the buyer! Everyone left after hearing who won. A frail woman was led by a middle-aged man to the podium from the back of the auditorium. Tom hugged and kissed Cathy as well as his nephew.

He gladly handed the keys over to her and refused the money for me. “This is the home for James’ Camaro.” As they opened my doors to enter and started to drive away, I felt I was born again; I could feel this spirit of James. I could almost hear his hardy laugh. He was alive within all of us.

Here are some key facts about Nevada: Nevada is a state located in the western United States. Its capital and largest city is Carson City. Major cities include Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, and North Las Vegas. Nevada is the 7th largest state by area but one of the most sparsely populated. Most of the state’s terrain consists of desert and semi-arid landscapes. It is part of the Mountain West region of the U.S. The Mojave Desert covers much of southern Nevada. Nevada is best known for its gambling, entertainment and tourism industries centered around Las Vegas. Other major industries include mining, logistics, and renewable energy. Notable geographic features include Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park, and Great Basin National Park. Native American tribes have inhabited the area for thousands of years. Nevada became the 36th state admitted to the Union in 1864. Top institutions of higher education include the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the University of Nevada, Reno. Let me know if you need any other details about the history, culture, economy or attractions in the state of Nevada. Gambling in Nevada: Nevada is famous for its legalized gambling and is considered the gambling capital of the United States. Here are some key points about gambling in Nevada.

Gambling was legalized in Nevada in 1931, when the state passed a law allowing gambling establishments. This move helped bolster Nevada’s economy during the Great Depression.

Las Vegas is the gambling mecca, home to lavish casino-resorts like the Bellagio, MGM Grand, Caesars Palace, and the Venetian. The Las Vegas Strip is an iconic destination for gambling. Reno is another major hub for casinos and gambling, known as “The Biggest Little City in the World.” In addition to slot machines and table games like blackjack, roulette and craps, Nevada casinos offer sports betting, poker rooms, and racebooks for betting on horse races. Nevada’s lenient regulations on gambling have allowed the state’s casinos to experiment with new games and gambling formats over the years. Gambling tax revenues are a critical part of Nevada’s economy and state budget. In fiscal year 2022, gambling taxes provided over $1 billion to state coffers. While Nevada is famous for its mega casino-resorts, there are also many smaller local casinos and gambling halls across the state. Native American tribes have also opened casinos on tribal lands in Nevada in recent decades. So in summary, legalized gambling, pioneered in Nevada, has become a pillar of the state’s identity, economy and tourism draw.

How does homes for heroes mortgage loan program work?

Inquiry removal is NOT as easy as it was in the past. Most of the time, the credit bureaus are requiring a police report to prove identity theft. I have attached a letter below that sometimes works to remove some inquries. Remember, inquiries stay on the credit report for 24 months, but only lower the score for 12 months. Also, there is no score impact when the number of inquiries is under 5 for a particular bureau.

Many borrowers think that your are set home free after a conditional mortgage loan approval. This is normally the case but not always so. I have seen many mortgage loan denials after a conditional loan approval. What a conditional loan approval means is when the mortgage underwriter feels the borrower qualifies for a mortgage loan but need to comply with the list of conditions the mortgage underwriter states. Once a mortgage processor submits all conditions, the underwriter can come back with additional conditions on the of the conditions of the first conditional loan approval. This is the stage of the mortgage process where a mortgage underwriter can drive everyone crazy including the loan officer. I have seen mortgage underwriters condition the dumbest things over and over again. It may be that the underwriter had a bad day. Here is a blog that was updated about the mortgage process after the conditional loan approval:

Mortgage Process After The Conditional Approval

The mortgage process after the conditional approval is clearing conditions for the CTC, which means the lender is ready to fund the loan.

I really like the idea of a one stop shop training and organic lead generation website through Viral Website Developers. When will it be available and for who is this platform available? Can anyone enroll for the software? Someone told me that it was only available for loan officers who are at Gustan Cho Associates branch. How much will it cost and is there a contract?

Unbelieveable the number of politicians and famous people on the pedophile list of Jeffrey Epstein. What is going on with this world. Is our society full of evil? Is Satan the new normal? Are there any more morals in today’s society anymore? Are politicians all corrupt? Are the good guys too shy to speak up? If Gillaine Maxwell is in jail why aren’t other pedophiles in jail or at the very least charged? Is cheating at the voter polls, coming out with fake economic numbers, fake news, and hiding the truth the new normal? Are we going to keep printing money and dilute our dollar where we make a laughing stock of our dollar? Nobody wants to buy our treasuries and bonds. Other nations consider our treasury junk and a joke where it has no more values. The good guys need to speak out and form a coalition and fight for truth, justice, and the survival of our great country. Take over evil and get rid of satan. liars, cheaters, and fake news. Get real news back. Get Americans to trust our country and people. Get the world to trust us again and get our great country back.

Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time. While climate variability is natural, much of the recent observed changes are due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like carbon dioxide and methane. This phenomenon is also commonly referred to as global warming or anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change. Here’s a broad overview of its causes, impacts, and the response strategies:

Causes of Climate Change

1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) for energy, deforestation for agriculture, and industrial processes contribute to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere.
2. Land Use Changes: Deforestation not only releases the carbon stored in trees but also reduces the planet’s capacity to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
3. Agriculture: This sector contributes significantly through methane emissions from livestock and rice fields, and nitrous oxide from over-fertilized fields.

Impacts of Climate Change

1. Temperature Increases: The most direct effect is the rise in global temperatures, leading to heatwaves and disrupted weather patterns.
2. Ice Melt and Sea Level Rise: The increase in global temperatures has led to the melting of ice caps and glaciers, contributing to rising sea levels, which can cause coastal erosion, increased flooding, and threaten coastal communities.
3. Ocean Acidification: CO2 absorption is making the oceans more acidic, affecting marine life and ecosystems, particularly coral reefs and shellfish populations.
4. Extreme Weather Events: There is an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heavy rainfall.
5. Impact on Biodiversity: Climate change is altering habitats and threatening species with extinction, disrupting natural ecosystems.
6. Socioeconomic Effects: Impacts include threats to food security from decreasing crop yields and the loss of livable land, which could lead to displacement and climate refugees.

Responses to Climate Change

1. Mitigation: This involves reducing the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, either by reducing sources of these gases (e.g., the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, or transport) or enhancing the sinks that accumulate and store these gases (such as the oceans, forests, and soil). Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric systems generate electricity with little or no pollution and GHG emissions.
2. Adaptation: Involves making adjustments in ecological, social, or economic systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli and their effects or impacts. It aims to reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts, allowing societies to manage risks and damage while taking advantage of potential opportunities.
3. International Agreements: The Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), signed in 2015, is one of the global efforts where countries committed to limiting global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels through nationally determined contributions.

Personal and Community Actions

• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Adopting more sustainable practices in daily life can significantly reduce one’s carbon footprint.
• Energy Efficiency: Using more energy-efficient appliances and vehicles, upgrading insulation in homes, and using public transport can reduce individual GHG emissions.
• Support/Advocate: Supporting policies and leaders who prioritize climate actions and sustainable practices is crucial. Community-level actions can amplify individual efforts.

Addressing climate change requires coordinated global actions but also hinges on national, local, and individual efforts. The collective engagement in mitigation and adaptation measures is essential to effectively manage and hopefully overcome this global challenge.

Joe Biden and his administration are planning a climate emergency in the coming days or weeks. The Democrats are panicking because of the low approval rating and are cornered on what they can do to cheat their way to get reelected. Americans should expect more crisis, climate emergency Lock downs, wars, riots, pandemics, or natural disasters

Gas prices surpassed $7 dollar per gallon at one Bay Area California gas station . The economy in the United States is so shakey and unstable that the entire world is laughing at us.

There are many conflicting questions about the type of people that become cops and police impersonators. I heard kids who were picked on in high school become cops. Cop impersonators are those who could not become POST certified to become cops or could not pass the background investigation

When it comes to insurance policies, insurers need to make sure they’re covering their bases. One of the ways they do this is by conducting insurance inspections and ensuring that the policyholder meets their underwriting criteria.

An insurance inspection, whether conducted by the insurance company or a trusted third-party inspector, is a comprehensive review of a property or asset. It meticulously determines its value, condition, and potential for risk. The results of this diligent inspection provide the insurer with a clear understanding of the risk associated with the property or asset, enabling them to offer the most appropriate coverage and premiums.

Meeting underwriting criteria is a crucial factor in getting approved for an insurance policy. Underwriting criteria are the set of guidelines insurers use to determine a policyholder’s eligibility. This includes factors like the individual’s credit score, age, occupation, and health status.

For example, if you’re applying for a life insurance policy, the insurer will want to know your age, whether you smoke, and whether you have any pre-existing medical conditions. Based on this information, they will determine your risk level and offer you an appropriate coverage plan.

Insurance inspections and meeting underwriting criteria go hand in hand. Insurers use the information gathered from a property inspection to determine the risk level of the asset, which in turn helps them determine the premiums they will charge. Similarly, underwriting criteria help the insurers understand the risk level of the policyholder, which plays a significant role in determining the policy’s cost.

In conclusion, insurance inspections and meeting underwriting criteria are not just processes; they are opportunities to be an active participant in your insurance coverage. They help insurers understand the risks associated with the property or asset they are insuring and the individual they are covering. As a policyholder, your transparency and provision of accurate information are key to ensuring you’re getting the coverage you need.

Our dear friend and colleague at Gustan Cho Associates decided to make her new home in the mortgage industry at Loan Factory, a mortgage brokerage licensed in multiple states. Besides Loan Factory, Wendy Lahn also joined a second mortgage brokerage firm Loanworks. I did not realize that it was allowed to be licensed with more than one mortgage company but I guess I was wrong. Wendy is an attorney by education, a loan officer, and a real estate broker so I can have her explain the compliance end of being licensed with more than one mortgage broker.

Last November Google Algorithm Updates, Google stated AI does not hurt but helps Google rankings and we can use AI content from ChatGDP and other artificial intelligence systems.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge, often referred to simply as the Key Bridge, is a prominent bridge located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. It spans the Patapsco River, connecting the neighborhoods of Baltimore City with Anne Arundel County. The bridge was named after Francis Scott Key, who wrote the lyrics to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the national anthem of the United States. Construction of the Key Bridge began in 1972, and it opened to traffic in 1977. It is a vital transportation link, carrying Interstate 695 (the Baltimore Beltway) across the river.

As of my last update in March 27th, 2024, there were reported incidents of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsing and being done intentionally by a ship navigated by a Ukrainian Ship Captain. There have been many developments since then and Maryland Governor Westmoreland’s asshole is puckering because first thing out of his month is it seems that is was an accident with no foul play. Why would he even say that in such an early stage of the investigation. I would recommend consulting recent news sources from reputable media neworks for the latest information.

The Maryland Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse was a black swan event per former Army General Michael Flynn says Clayton Morris, previous host of WEEKENDS ON FOX NEWS and now the host and owner of REDACTED NEWS. What is a Black Swan Event asks Clayton Morris? A black swan event is a term used to describe an unpredictable event that has significant and widespread consequences. Coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book “The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable,” these events are characterized by their extreme rarity, their severe impact, and the tendency for people to rationalize them in hindsight as if they were predictable.

The term “black swan” originates from the belief in Europe that all swans were white, as all historical records confirmed this, until the discovery of black swans in Australia challenged that assumption. Thus, a black swan event represents a surprise that has a major impact and is often explained or rationalized after the fact, despite the fact that it was not anticipated beforehand.

Examples of black swan events include the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. These events were highly unexpected, had profound effects on society and the economy, and were difficult to predict using conventional forecasting methods. Michael Flynn is a retired United States Army Lieutenant General who served as the 25th National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump from January 20 to February 13, 2017. Born on December 24, 1958, in Middletown, Rhode Island, Flynn graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 1981 with a Bachelor of Science degree in management science.

Flynn’s military career spanned over three decades. He served in various positions, specializing in intelligence and counterterrorism. Notably, he served as the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from July 2012 to August 2014. Flynn’s tenure at the DIA was marked by controversy, including clashes with the Obama administration over his management style and views on radical Islam.

After retiring from the military in 2014, Flynn became involved in politics. He emerged as an outspoken critic of the Obama administration’s foreign policy, particularly regarding its approach to combating terrorism. Flynn became a close advisor to Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign, advocating for a more aggressive stance on national security issues.

Following Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election, Flynn was appointed as National Security Advisor. However, his tenure was brief and marred by controversy. He resigned from his position after less than a month amidst allegations that he misled Vice President Mike Pence and other administration officials about his communications with Russian officials before Trump took office.

Flynn’s legal troubles continued after leaving the White House. In December 2017, he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the presidential transition period. However, in May 2020, the Department of Justice moved to dismiss the charges against Flynn, citing misconduct by the FBI.

Throughout his career, Michael Flynn has been a polarizing figure, admired by some for his military service and strong stance on national security issues, while criticized by others for his controversial statements and actions. His biography reflects a complex mix of military service, political involvement, and legal controversies. Expect more man made natural disasters happening in the coming weeks and months because the Democrats are definitely panicking.
