Kenneth Robinson has left the $300,000 home in Flower Mound, Texas that he had lived in the past 7 months for $16, after a Texas judge ruled Monday in favor of the current lienholder Bank of America.
After the owner abandoned the foreclosure property and the original mortgage company went out of business, Robinson shrewdly submitted a $16 filing fee at the local courthouse eight months ago.
The law of “adverse possession” gave Kenneth Robinson the right to occupy the home he did not own or pay rent for.
He even wrote an eBook and created a website named 16dollarhouse.com in which he claimed he had the right to live in a $300,000 home by way of adverse possession.
“ I am successful because I can see it no other way.” – Kenneth Robinson
State of the Union and Obama’s speech discussed by Alex Jones and Gerald Celente and not settling for the lesser of two evils.
Jones wonders aloud that as the money runs out, will the minions wake up when they’ve lost everything to the greedy corporate vultures.
We’re going to get everybody in debt to our fraudulent paper [bankrupt them] then there’ll be riots, then we’ll bring even more control.
That will drive down the value of everything, then we can buy everything up.
“ They will try to bankrupt everybody just so they can consolidate everything? It’s all up to us, what ends up happening, but I don’t see this ending pretty.
They’re going to start a Big War [the First Great War of the 21st Century] – the Globalists making 40-1 bets – three million guns sold in the month of December in the US alone – Congress with a 9% approval rating.” – Alex Jones
George Michael Steinbrenner III “The Boss” was majority owner and managing partner of Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees for the past 37 years.
Steinbrenner died after suffering a massive heart attack in his Tampa home on the morning of the 81st All-Star Game.
His beloved Yankees won 7 MLB World Series and 11 AL Pennants on his watch. Known as a hands-on baseball executive, he earned the nickname “The Boss.”
In one of the shrewdest sports investments ever, Steinbrenner turned an $8.8 Million Dollar investment in 1973 into a $1.6 + Billion cash cow today.
The Boss lived and played the game of life with passion. He was perhaps the best winner and worst loser.
The New York Yankee billionaire was known for the two word tag line You’re Fired, long before the New York real estate billionaire Donald Trump.
George Steinbrenner helped to revolutionize the business of baseball by being the first owner to sell TV cable rights [MSG] now on YES network and first to drive up the prices of free agent talent.
The Yankees continue to be run by his sons Hank and Hal Steinbrenner. RIP.
The head of the Ways and Means Committee , Charles “charlie” Rangel , was hard pressed to read a written statement. It appeared to be the first time Rangel had set eyes on the prepared statement. This created only more embarrassment for himself as he insincerely apologized for failing to report investment income on his Dominican Republic beach villa vacation property in Punta Cana.
Failure to Report ; Failure to Disclose $Millions of Dollars – we have an Ethics Problem. Charlie ” I FORGOT ” Rangel. Double standard for Rangel and Geithner compared to working class stiffs.
The Democrats allow him to stay? – No Defense for Rangel to continue to hold his job as head of the Ways and Means Committee. His list of ethics investigations and tax controversies are lengthy.
” I owed my colleagues and the public , adherence to a higher standard of care not only as a member of Congress but even more as the Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee ” – Charles Rangel
