Good-enough news

Well, I had been hoping for some great news to post to the blog this morning, but it’s not as great as I was hoping for. Still, it’s better than nothing.

If you’ve been following this blog throughout the 5th Gen war, you know that during the lockdowns, I basically lost everything and had to declare bankruptcy.

I used to lease (great!) cars from Honda, but when the last lease was up, I was in bankruptcy and wasn’t allowed to lease a car because I had abysmal credit. So, this 2022 Honda Civic (that I’ve had for the past 2 years), I had to purchase and it was really expensive because of my bad credit.

And now that I’m working part-time in senior care, I don’t make a whole lot of money, and the Civic was blowing through all my savings.

THEN! Honda got in touch with me on Tuesday and wanted to buy back my 2022 Civic, because of the shortage of good used cars. Yay! And they were going to be able to arrange another lease for me on a new 2024 Civic instead — for less money. Yay!

And that did indeed happen last night — after 3 often agonizing hours of them trying to get me the best deal. (Honestly, I love that Honda dealership, gang. I’ve been going there for 7 years and they always do everything they can to help me get what I need.)

At 8PM last night, they finally came over to me and said; “Okay, we’ve got good news!”

So, at 10AM, I’m going back into town to pick up my brand new 2024 Honda Civic sedan. And it’s a lease. Yay. And it’s less money than I’ve been paying for the last 2 years, yay — but the bankruptcy is still an issue, so it’s not a whole lot less than I’ve been paying for the last 2 years.

But it will indeed help. So on we go. This is what my new car looks like:

OOOPS!! Sorry. This is what it looks like!! Very much like my current Civic, actually, but a slightly different color.

Okay.

Well, not much news today.

Before I forget, Phil re-scheduled last night’s live for tonight at 9PM Eastern. Confirm here later.

This was a great substack post from the Absolute 1776 crew.

From Stormy Joe Patriot:

“A “September 17th” To Remember

[…] Q explained to us that the Southern District of New York (SDNY) would be very important in the future. In a 5-day period we had:

9/12 Harvey Weinstein is brought up on new charges.

9/16 Sean “Diddy” Combs is arrested for sex trafficking.

9/17 Ghislaine Maxwell had her appeal denied.

None of this is a coincidence. Have a listen to the press conference to hear how serious these charges are and how the ongoing investigation will lead to others.[..]”
