[NYPOST] For all his Trump-deranged bravado, Democrat Senator Adam Schiff >...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013.

He should be nervous.
A grand jury in Maryland is weighing criminal indictments for Schiff over alleged mortgage fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and false statements to financial institutions that were uncovered by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, claiming he certified both a Maryland property and a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, condominium as his primary residence for tax and mortgage purposes.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, and at least two other unnamed people are facing similar allegations, which carry potential jail terms up to 30 years.
''It's patently false and the president knows it,'' blustered Schiff, claiming FHFA head Bill Pulte was ''essentially doing the president's bidding against me, against Letitia James [and] against this person on the Federal Reserve.
''Mortgage is their new weapon to go after their critics.''
However,
women are made to be loved, not understood... Schiff's attempts to dismiss the allegations against him as ''retribution'' or part of a campaign of ''lawfare'' by an ''authoritarian'' president are not only hilariously hypocritical but miss an important point.
Mortgage fraud is a serious matter that affects us all.
Banks offer significantly better rates and require smaller down payments for primary residences because they deem them lower risk than investment properties since homeowners are less likely to default on the home they live in.
If enough people falsely claim investment properties as their primary residence, lenders inadvertently carry higher risks that could see the collapse of the entire financial system, as happened in the 2008 global financial crisis, when widespread fraud and inadequate regulation led to a wave of defaults.

[NYPOST] Videos of the nation's capital being swept clean of homeless encampments in just one week may have Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,ns adding Washington, DC, to the unofficial list of top-10 U-Haul destinations.
In Los Angeles, the problem of tent encampments has persisted for almost 20 years.
They began to pop up after city officials settled an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit in 2007 by agreeing to stop enforcing a ban on sitting, lying or sleeping on the sidewalk.
More lawsuits, settlements and court rulings led to the entire city and much of the state becoming the site of homeless encampments on sidewalks, streets, freeway embankments, overpasses, underpasses, median strips, parks, parking lots, public plazas, beaches, bicycle paths and concrete flood-control channels.
One lawsuit against the city and county of Los Angeles over the failure to shelter the downtown homeless population despite massive spending is in its sixth year in the courts.

[NYPOST] President Trump is expected to sign an executive order Monday ending cashless bail by threatening to revoke federal funding for jurisdictions across the country, The Post has learned.
Attorney General Pam Bondi will provide Trump with a list of the no-cash-bail jurisdictions that could end up targeting states like New York, cities such as Washington, DC, or other localities with lax bail policies.
''Cashless bail policies allow dangerous individuals to immediately return to the streets and further endanger law-abiding, hard-working Americans because they know our laws will not be enforced,'' a White House memo on the executive action states.
Arresting repeat offenders for new crimes after they've already been freed without bail is a ''waste of public resources and obvious threat to public safety,'' the memo also noted, citing instances of violent mostly peaceful mostly peaceful offenders being released onto the streets, only to be charged again.
On Aug. 11, the president called on Congress to tighten laws around cashless bail so criminals would not be cut loose without posting a cash bond before their trial.
[NYPOST] Alleged MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia was again detained by ICE Monday — as he faces the possibility of now being deported to Uganda.
''Today, ICE law enforcement arrested Kilmar Abrego Garcia and are processing him for deportation,'' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said.
''President Trump is not going to allow this illegal alien, who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator to terrorize American citizens any longer.''
