More than 80 Democratic lawmaker have called for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump from office, but supporters of that effort now include Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor Greene. It’s an almost unthinkable long-shot, requiring buy-in from J.D. Vance, most of Trump’s cabinet and two-thirds of both branches of Congress. The burden is higher than impeachment, but it keeps gaining support. Top political scientist Norm Ornstein, who backed the effort in an essay in The Contrarian titled “Break Glass.” explains why he believes the time has come.

House Democrats, intensifying their push this week for President Trump’s Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, allowing for his eventual removal from office. Those calls, following the President’s message this week, that the Iranian civilization would die, if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened. Friday, Rep. Jamie Raskin upped the ante, calling on the President to take a cognitive exam and provide a detailed report on his physical and mental health. But invoking the 25th Amendment is not that simple, with more on it’s history, basis, and the implications of President Trump actually, though unlikely, being removed, Micah Ohlman and Courtney Friel are joined by KTLA Law and Politics Analyst Jessica Levinson.

Vice President Vance, speaks to reporters after a marathon day of negotiations with Iran, said no progress was made toward a peace agreement, which he added was “bad news for Iran.”
Coming amid a 14-day ceasefire in the war, Vance called the 21 hours of negotiations with the Iranian delegation, mediated by Pakistan and held in its capital Islamabad, “substantive.”
“That’s the good news,” he continued. “The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America. So, we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.”
Vance did not offer specifics about what offers were made or rejected, but said Iran refused to make an “affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon” or “seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.”https://youtu.be/aqTt28naaaM?si=kI6DqUaWRB_QN_Ce

Punch the Long Hair Japanese Macaque is 7 months old and extremely intelligent. Punch was abandoned when he was born by his mother. All the other monkeys in the zoo Punch is staying at was extremely mean to him. However, the two zoo keepers were Punch’s guardians and Dad’s. Punch waits for the zoo keepers to feed the rest of the monkeys and climbs up on their leg and clings to them. Watch the attached video shorts.

Annual compensation for mortgage processors with in-depth knowledge of obstacles involved with any of the following files: FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional, and Non-QM Loans, is estimated to be between $60,000 and $80,000. People with this type of knowledge, experience, and product background are considered “experienced to senior” levels because they are the employees most directly responsible for closing intricate, high-margin loans.
While certain general mortgage processors hover around the $50,000 mark, with many in the mid-$40,000 range, and some performers in the $60k-$70k range with increased seniority, this is not the case for all processors. Those processors who are considered “senior” and possess 5 years or more experience, along with an in-depth understanding of the required products and have an outstanding track record, will typically be found in the mid-$50,000 to high $60,000 range, and a few will be in the $70,000 range with a base salary plus bonuses. Given your processor’s capability to manage the more challenging FHA, VA, USDA, and Non-QM Loans, it is only fair to categorize them more akin to a senior or specialized processing role rather than an average retail processor.
The most commonly used payment models are straight salary, salary + bonus, and contractor-style payment. Processors are receiving salary offers in the range of 55,000 to 70,000, and possibly higher, for team leaders. The easiest to understand is a straight salary, and team leaders give a bit more. Stability is also an upside, but a team lead is unlikely to get more than a salary’s worth of work. If the company’s volume decreases, the team lead’s salary stays the same, which is a fixed cost for the company. Lastly, contractor models offer you a certain payment for each loan you close. This also means higher per-file payments. Income is, however, much more variable, which is not suited for many people but is more suited for those who are okay with a job with fluctuating pay.
For a brokerage like yours, particularly one with a blend of government and non-QM loans, the framework that typically makes the most sense is a solid base salary, per-file bonuses, and possibly straightforward volume tiers. Competitive base salaries for strong, seasoned processors would fall in the $60,000 to $70,000 range, and for a processor that is your “go-to” for difficult FHA, VA, USDA, and non-QM transactions and is pivotal to getting the pipeline closed, you could justify $75,000 to $80,000. That base salary is protective during slower months, and it is enough to retain top-quality employees.
You can add a bonus based on the number of files per closed loans. A good example of file bonuses would be a range of 100 to 150 dollars per VA/FHA/USDA/conventional file, and 150 to 250 dollars per complex loans, which would include bank statement, DSCR, or non-QM. This demonstrates to your processors that you appreciate the extra effort and shows that you understand the added time, risk, and problem-solving that goes into the more difficult files. Monthly bonuses also work. An example of this would be 500 dollars for 15 closed loans, 750 for 20, and 1,000 to 1,500 for 25 or more. This lets you set a clear target for the processor and align your costs with your revenue while remaining predictable on a per-file basis.
In a brokerage context, I would not advise providing a straight salary for someone at this level. Typically, a strong base plus per-file pay, with increased pay incentives for more complex files and volume tier options, works best. This type of structure balances the stability of income with performance motivation, protects your margins in leaner months, helps attract and retain a top-tier processor, and rewards them directly for the quantity and complexity of loans they close with you.

There’s absolutely 💯 no doubt that silver’s upward move has strong momentum and it’s not rocket science silver price per ounce will exceed $1,000 an ounce

Silver price per ounce is $116.00 and going strong.

Silver has turned the negative drop and is on the upswing at $115.00 an ounce. From what I am hearing the mom and pop silver holders are liquidating their silver like crazy. However, after they sell their physical silver, the price of silver keeps on going up. Many sellers of silver at $70.00 are really regretting it and some are having severe marital problems because one of the married couple convinced the other to sell
