  1. So your ability to buy a home, subsidized by “free” American citizens, is based upon who you sleep with and who you don’t. How is this constitutional, not that that has any meaning in VT.

    • 💯 unquestionably blatantly unconstitutional. Not to mention plain old ugly racism. Par for the course for modern day Democrats.

  2. Another way to view this is “predatory lending.” “Predatory lending is any lending practice where the borrower is taken advantage of by the lender. Predatory lenders impose lending terms that are unfair or abusive. This predatory practice is often committed against victims who are elderly or low-income.” They just changed it up to include race-based or non-citizen status.

    Let’s look at the borrower’s ability to pay and maintain a house (in Chittenden County) long term based on the term of the mortgage, value of the property, and ever increasing added costs. Much like the housing collapse in 2008, borrowers are set up for failure by loosey-goosey lending, real estate hucksters, and non-profiteers looking to set up unsuspecting fools to take the bait. Sooner or later, the house will be forfeited and the equity fund goons will scoop it up for pennies on the dollar. It’s the new and improved, repackaged fraud.

    $25,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of debt the borrower just swallowed and will have to swim hard and fast or sink like a stone. From the WCAX story “This is our American dream,” Avila said.” American dream all right – you have to be asleep to believe it.

  3. Don’t ignore the ‘big story’ on this list.

    ‘Students step into school budget battle by stepping out of class.’

    This is yet another example of the outrageous indoctrination occurring in our public schools. These kids are convinced that it’s better to bankrupt their parents and neighbors than to cut the budget and layoff teachers – as if those are the only alternatives.

    Note the key sentence in this WCAX report.

    “Meanwhile, no cuts were made to school administrators or their staff.”

    Hence, I’ll take this opportunity to reiterate the 2024 Agency of Education (AOE) report previously cited. There are 161 administrators in the AOE with $51 Million to manage its $2.557 Billion budget. That’s more than $300,000 per administrator.

    “The task of weaning various people and groups from the national nipple will not be easy. The sound of whines, bawls, screams and invective will fill the air as the agony of withdrawal pangs finds voice.” – Linda Bowles, Washington Times, December 20, 1994

    • Postscript:
      In 2021-22 there were more than 37,000 full-time equivalent employees in Vermont’s public schools (from AOE administrators to superintendents to teachers to bus drivers) servicing approximately 73,000 K through 12 students. Do the math… if you can.

    • This must be a recent Vermont Legislator/Agency of Education seminar, don’t cha think.

      Kind of explains how our government administrators are operating these days.

      And yes, if we didn’t have a little humor, …. well, you get the idea. 🙂

    • This is a big problem. The powers that be were so successful brainwashing higher education students, they moved on to k-12 to gain absolute political, economic and social control over the future generations. Schools indoctrinate children to show nothing but contempt for their parents and our current societal norms. Schools have no place radicalizing children to protest against their parents, who are protecting their financial sovereignty of their families.

    • I pondered this decades ago. I was in “ADAPT”, the radical arm of the disability rights movement. What if people simply rea;ized that as “leadership” they could simply extort what they wanted by holding demonstrations, protests, blockages?
      And, of course, the old trick of stating that if there is a problem and it isn’t approached exactly as they do, then those who won’t fall into line don’t really want to solve the problem.

  4. Please quantify qualification standards for black, indigenous or “people of color”. Who qualifies? Says who? Seriously. We are a nation of mixed genetic backgrounds. If this question cannot be answered, i would encourage everyone to apply regardless of melanin level. If you are denied, demand documentation as to why. Where applicable file litigation. I fear this is more virtue signaling policy that likely is unconstitutional violating the civil rights act. If so, it is nothing short if racist.

    • Like Vermont’s homeless benefits, BIPOC will be based on the “honor system”, and will be bestowed upon anyone who “identifies as” BIPOC. Who would dare be so racist to dispute a person’s claim?

    • Though my parents hail from Czechoslovakia, I consider myself a “Person of Color.”
      I’d say, “Heart of Oak.” So, who do I see about getting my $25.000.00 loan, that I’m told might be forgiven soon? That would be like “Free Money” right?

    • The $25,000 “grant” is washed to the bank or lender. Why not encompass the $25k into the price, the processing fees, the title insurance, attorney fee, the appraisal, commission, etc. It’s in the bank’s kitty anyway and forgiven by the government – whoo hoo! It sounds wonderful to those who don’t understand how fraud and money laundering actually works. The unsuspecting borrower is now saddled with a large debt regardless as well as compounding expenses for 20-30 years at 6-7% interest – many of us got that raw deal regardless of our color. Here’s your sign!

  5. CVU students are sheep, like all VT public school kids. Keep voting NO and force the district to cut the top-heavy fat. Keep folks that work with kids everyday, look to cut those that don’t. There are PLENTY that could go. Start with the five DEI employees in the CVU district…what do they do all day everyday at Central Office??

    • Ayup! Every student who protested should be forced to take a mandatory course on government taxation.

      I’ll be voting no today.

  6. BIPOC: Black, INDIGENOUS, and People of Color

    I suspect that you could easily force them to give you this loan with just the definition of indigenous; “originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native” and the reality that White is all colors and Black is the absence of color: https://www.tourboxtech.com/en/news/is-black-a-color.html, which is why they seperate them in the name itself.

    Now that I’ve given you the knowledge to get the loan, who here is going to force them to give up the loan?

    Any albinos in the room, just to make it a more “colorful” point?

  8. Definitely unconstitutional. A white should ask for a loan and sue when denied.

    • Isn’t “white” a color?…or rather a combination of ALL colors. As pasty as my skin is this time of year, it is still darker than “white” though…therefore aren’t we ALL People of Color?

  9. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
