“If you want something bad enough, take the steps needed to make it happen, no matter how long it takes. Sometimes you get lucky and can skip some steps, but most of the time you can’t. The secret to achieving any goal is nothing more than putting in the necessary time and effort.”

According to Medium on ‘bad enough.’
If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace and sleep for it.
If all that you dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without it.
If you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it and lose all your terror of the opposition for it.
If you simply go after that thing that you want with all your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity.
If neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gout, sickness nor pain, of body and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want.
If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it, with the help of God, YOU WILL GET IT! — Les Brown
More on is it bad enough further below. But next up is the headline promised state-by-state data for new HUD Code manufactured homes in July 2024 issued in September 2024 by the Institute for Building Technology & Safety (IBTS), HUD’s contractor for official data on manufactured housing industry production and shipments.

Part II – Additional Information and Commentary Plus the Sunday Weekly Headlines in Review
1) This may seem hard to believe at first, but the following fact is tremendously revealing. On
Acting ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner, a Harris-Biden Administration (D) official to Congressman Tony Gonzalez (TX-R) and others in Congress. My post on the Patch ranked #5 on the Google News search, as is shown below.
3) Curiously absent from that list of mostly mainstream and alternative news media outlets are left-leaning publications and news sources such as CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times, etc. See a reasonably comprehensive list of major left and right leaning media in the illustration linked here.
4) For decades, the Media Research Center (MRC) and their affiliates such as NewsBusters monitor mainstream media and report on how little (or no) time is devoted to subjects that may be a poor reflection on some Democratic or left-leaning policy, law, person, etc. Meaning, to them and others who grasp this vexing pattern, the above is no surprise. On September 28th, Alex Christy for Newsbusters reported: “only NBC found time to mention it on their Friday evening newscast. ABC and CBS, meanwhile, not only failed to cover it, but tried to spin the border situation as positive.”
ABC’s Mary Bruce omits ICE’s report that there are 13,000 illegal immigrant murderers free in the U.S. right now and instead hypes, “a drastic decrease in the encounters along the border” pic.twitter.com/c19OAzjfsQ
— Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) September 28, 2024
4) Per Cristy at NewsBusters, Bruce also hyped, “While apprehensions at the border hit a record high under the Biden administration, over 8 million. On the ground in Nogales, Arizona, Border Patrol telling us they’ve seen a notable difference since the president put new limits on asylum claims. Riding along with them on patrol, we get a firsthand look. Since President Biden enacted those new asylum restrictions back in June, they have seen a drastic decrease in the encounters along the border, 60 percent in this sector alone.”
5) Concluding her report, Bruce again promoted, “Harris here tonight is arguing that we can be a nation of laws and also a nation of immigrants. You don’t have to choose between securing the border and creating an immigration system that is orderly and compassionate.” In short, their report was little more than pro-Harris-Walz campaign propaganda. But they weren’t alone.
The next day, fellow White House correspondent MaryAlice Parks told Good Morning America, “I mean, long gone, Whit, are the days Democrats talking about wanting to decriminalize the border. This was the toughest language we have maybe ever heard from a Democrat when it comes to the border.”
Parks also recalled, “I also talked to one immigration expert that gave Harris some credit for how she talked about fentanyl as a law enforcement issue, not an immigration issue. We know that the vast, vast majority of fentanyl is actually trafficked into this country by U.S. citizens at ports of entry. Harris talked about needing to crack down on that without blaming migrants, guys.”
On Friday’s CBS Evening News, White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe likewise painted the situation as under control, “foot traffic across the entire U.S.-Mexico border is down in recent months amid Mexican attempts to stop immigrants and the Biden administration’s push to restrict asylum requests.”
O’Keefe’s colleague, Adam Yamaguchi, also reported, “While the numbers of illegal crossings has dropped significantly, it still isn’t zero. People are still crossing over into the U.S. illegally on a daily basis.”
A CBS report by Ed O’Keefe likewise ignores the 13,000 murderers report, “foot traffic across the entire U.S.-Mexico border is down in recent months amid Mexican attempts to stop immigrants and the Biden administration’s push to restrict asylum requests.” pic.twitter.com/I2k3T7xWmb
— Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) September 28, 2024
6) Imagine for a few moments, what would national or state level polling look like if every voter clearly understood that the southern border has team Biden-Harris’ fingerprints all of it via executive orders, federal spending, incentives for illegals to enter the U.S., and the like?
7) What if every American understood that thousands of veterans are going homeless, hundreds of thousands born in the U.S. Americans are going homeless? But illegals are being housed at taxpayer expense? And that is per a Democratic administration’s HUD annual report to Congress. The election outcome could likely be quite different than the supposedly neck-and-neck race being depicted by pollsters who often say that Harris has a slight edge over Trump.
8) Due to the law of supply and demand, record levels of immigration mean record demand for housing. Democrats knew what they were doing. Who said? The number three Democrat in the U.S. House, then Majority Whip James Clyburn (SC-D). This was all economics 101. MHProNews signaled the coming inflation months in advance of official reports that confirmed it. How is that possible? Because it was entirely predictable for those who did enough reading and research across the left-right spectrum.
9) Former 17-year and award-winning CNN journalist Chris Plante, who became an award winning WMAL satirical pundit (nationally syndicated, 9 to noon ET), has often said that the mainstream media’s greatest power is their power to ignore.
Meaning, mainstream (often left-leaning) news outlets can simply act as if a story never happened. MRC and NewsBusters.org confirms that time and again and has for decades.
10) News operations can opt to not report on whatever it is that they may want to reveal for their own reasons, including something as simple as management doesn’t think a news item fits their narrative. For those who may want to think that only conservatives believe that to be true, they need to look carefully again (or for the first time) at the full-length version of Shadows of Liberty. That highly acclaimed documentary drama is made up almost exclusively of short interviews with people mostly from the political left and who are often involved in the mainstream media. But to be clear, both left-leaning and some right-leaning media can play that same game. If a news item pops up that doesn’t fit an organization’s narrative, either may downplay or ignore it. Shadows hits media from both the left and the right.
11) To Bongino’s question, “is it bad enough yet?” for Democratic supporters to question their own party’s leadership, and by extensions, their national/local candidates? It is almost unimaginable that someone would vote Democratic in 2024 if they truly understood the degree of responsibility Democrats have for crime, inflation, a lack of affordable housing, a range of regulations and tax policies that often punish smaller businesses more than larger ones, etc.
12) MHProNews has been periodically sharing that National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) produced graphic above since September 28, 2018 (see below and note the impact of inflation in just 6 years).
13) While our outreach as a Patch contributor is obviously a mainstream media effort, it has clear manufactured housing industry implications. There are reasons to believe that some of our audience are already folloowing our periodic series on the Patch, and of course, the Patch has its own audience.
14) On this date (9.27.2024), it is 37 days to November 5, 2024. According to the left-leaning Associated Press (AP): The 90-minute debate [between Governor Tim Walz (MN-D) and Senator J.D. Vance (OH-R), the running mates for Kamala Harris (D) and deposed 45th President Donald J. Trump) will start at 9 p.m. EDT on Oct. 1. It’s being moderated by “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan of CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Time will tell, but it may be even better than the Harris-Trump debate.
15) Is it bad enough yet?
‘Acting ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner said 13000 illegal immigrants convicted of murder-15,000 sex offenders entered U.S.’
More specifically:
“Your letter requests the number of noncitizens on ICE’s docket convicted or charged with a crime. As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’s non-detained docket. Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges. Please refer to the following chart.” So says part of the Immigration and Customers Enforcment (ICE) letter linked here the details and contents of which are posted below.
15,811 cases of convicted felons for sexual assault have been allowed into the U.S. under Harris-Biden ‘open border’ policies. 13,099 convicted murders have also been admitted under Harris-Biden open border policies. Thousands more are accused of those crimes, and others. “662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories [is] on ICE’s national docket” “Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges…”
16) Is it bad enough yet?
It is ludicrous if not shameful to blame Trump for Harris-Biden policies, which is what Kamala Harris is trying to do. And she may succeed, if the mainstream media keeps covering up bad news for Democrats.
17) WMAL’s Plante, a media professional from a media household, says that the corrupt media is the biggest threat to America. That is debatable, unless you count big tech as part of big media. But that nexus of big tech, big media, big corporate power, and their obvious influence with big government – that is demonstrably at the root of what is going wrong in America and has been for years. Because those forces aligned with Democrats years ago. Who says? Democrats, Democratic leaning media, and leftist billionaire George Soros funded OpenSecrets among others. That’s not to disagree per se with Plante, it is rather to point out that his one-liners may illustrate a point, but other puzzle pieces are necessary to complete the picture.
18) Among the topics this writer for MHProNews has addressed on our platforms and more recently is an article for the Patch on the methods of “deception and misdirection” also known as paltering, posturing, and projecting. Gaslighting and illusions have become common fare in the U.S. and in much, but not all, of mainstream media and MHVille.
19) The Patch is obviously open to this writer’s politically independent perspective on national, housing, and other issues. Kamala Harris bemoans billionaires and corporate leaders who support Trump. But Harris has more billionaires and more corporate leaders who support her than Trump and Vance have. Why doesn’t much of the left-leaning mainstream media call her out for such hypocrisy? Apparently, because it doesn’t fit their corporate narrative. Media operations are routinely tied to corporations.
20) Facebook deleted the Walk Away movement account some years ago. It had thousands of testimonials of Blacks, LGBTQs, and others who had left ‘the Democratic plantation.’ Apparently, left-leaning billionaire Mark Zuckerberg couldn’t allow those millions upon millions of views to occur. It might cause still more to ‘wake up,’ smell the coffee, and leave the Democratic plantation of the 21st century. As Plante likes to point out, the Confederate States of America were Democrats. Those slave states were Democrats. Every Jim Crow law, said Plante, was enacted by Democrats. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was made up of Democrats. Who confirms those points? How about a former Black Democrat, Professor Carol Swain.
21) Former Congressional Representative Tulsi Gabbard (HI-D) carried water for Democrats for years and was the Democratic Party Vice Chair while she was still in Congress. But Gabbard dared challenge Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for the 2020 presidential nomination. Gabbard is widely credited with the fact-laced hits that caused Kamala to drop out before the first primary was held. Nevertheless, it is Harris who is the nominee and Gabbard who is outside looking in. The Democratic Party, as Plante says, isn’t democratic.
22) Bongino bluntly says that Republicans may not be the solution to all of your problems, but that Democrats are the cause of your problems.
23) Chris Plante says that “The Left is coming for your rights.”
Plante also says: “The Democratic Party isn’t” just like “Friendly fire isn’t.” Meaning, the Democratic Party isn’t democratic, an analogy to who so-called friendly fire (when your fellow soldiers mistakenly fire on you) isn’t friendly.
24) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) is vilified by the left and Democrats. But he was a lifelong Democrat, until he broke with his party over what he said was a rigging of the 2024 primary in Joe Biden’s favor. RFK Jr. isn’t just any Kennedy. RFK Jr. is the son of assassinated Senator Robert F. “Bobby” Kennedy (D), and the nephew of assassinated President John F. “Jack” Kennedy (D). RFK Jr. holds to much of Democratic Party orthodoxy on issues like abortion and climate change. But because RFK Jr. has flatly accused Democrats of being anti-free speech, anti-freedom of choice on vaccinations, of rigging the primary and handing the “nomination” over to Kamala Harris, who Kennedy points out has never earned a single primary vote. The Democratic Party thus isn’t democratic, as Plante has mused for years.
“If you want something bad enough, take the steps needed to make it happen, no matter how long it takes. Sometimes you get lucky and can skip some steps, but most of the time you can’t. The secret to achieving any goal is nothing more than putting in the necessary time and effort.”

25) If the truth being shared on this writer’s periodic series on the Patch were being shared by media and big tech across the U.S., there is no way Harris and Walz would win. Many, not all, Democrats for Congress or other offices would also go down in defeat. The fact that the election, per polls, is close with some saying Harris is slightly ahead, others saying Trump has a lead in key battleground states, is largely due to the influence of big tech, big media, and yes big government. Some absolutely must understand that Democrats are not the solution to their problems, but they believe the claims that Republicans will take away their benefits, leaving them to starve or go homeless.
Propaganda and related methods, in short, works on millions. That said, because numbers check into alternative media outlets, including this manufactured home industry leading platform, there are also millions who to various degrees ‘get it’ that the system is rigged to favor insiders. See the rigged system report among the headlines on the Patch, linked further below.
26) Back to housing. Homelessness is already at record levels under Biden-Harris. Harris cast the key votes to make the Biden agenda possible. Harris obviously covered up Biden’s cognitive issues that caused him to step down after the Trump-Biden debate.
27) If someone hates the current state of affairs in America, the choice should be easy. Vote Trump-Vance and their down-ballot supporters. You obviously don’t change the course of the country by re-electing those who brought the misery. But this is where Malcom X’s point from some 6 decades ago is still valid today. The corporate media and corporate entertainment influences are so powerful they can make the guilty seem innocent and the innocent appear to be guilty.
28) Let’s circle back to the Google screen grab shown earlier. By simply monitoring the news on the radio while working on another project, this writer for MHProNews heard the initial report aboutActing ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner, a Harris-Biden Administration (D) official, to Congressman Tony Gonzalez (TX-R) and others in Congress. By keeping it focused, and publishing rapidly, my post on the Patch ranked #5 on the Google News search, as is shown below. While the hunch wasn’t a guarantee that it would be page one on this Google News search, that is how it ended up. As noted, the post was kept very simple. It provided the full text of the letter with an intro and wrap up. See that among the Patch headlines in review further below.
29) So, this isn’t as simple as ‘fake news.’ It is also cherry picking news, framing news that is reported in a certain way, and that includes others being selective about how news is or isn’t reported about modern manufactured housing. From the Blue Orca Capital report linked further below for the headlines for the weekly recap is this key line.
The allegations involving and against [Sun Communities CEO Gary] Shiffman have received minimal media coverage.
One of those few places online that much (not all, the Blue Orca report does break some useful and insightful ground) of the allegations regarding Gary Shiffman is found is on MHProNews. See that among the headlines for the week in review. Precisely because we dare cover items that others in MHVille do not report at all, or when they do, they do so in a biased fashion that benefits insiders, is it any surprise that MHProNews is the runaway #1 platform for “Industry News, Tips, and Views Pros Can Use.” © Of course not. Curious minds want to know. Left-leaning Bing’s AI powered Copilot has confirmed several times that apparently none of our rivals that we have critiqued about their claims has dared to respond publicly. Thus, we are the apparently unchallenged dominating source for news and cogent, expert views. When this writer appeared for a Frank Rolfe guided tour bus trip, Rolfe spotted me, and introduced me as an ‘industry celebrity.’ One may wonder if that same introduction would be made by Rolfe today?
Don’t miss the postscript.

Postscript (Part III)
If you are an employee, a manager for an insider firm that is not happy, or a small to mid-sized business owner, pay close attention to this screen grab from this morning on left-leaning MSN. “Financial guru Grant Cardone recently expressed skepticism about the traditional American Dream of homeownership, arguing that it is more of a financial burden than a benefit. In his view, the symbols of middle-class prosperity, such as cars, homes and college education, are hindering wealth accumulation.” That may or may not be Cardone’s authentic thinking. While it is possible that some may for a time benefit from renting, the number one form of intergenerational wealth building in the U.S.A. for a century has been home ownership. This is not the first time, nor will it likely be the last time, that MHProNews or MHLivingNews will have to address this sort of likely agenda driven propaganda.
Recall that during COVID19, MHProNews featured the following. This wasn’t a conspiracy theory, it was straight from the World Economic Forum and their then Twitter (now X) feed.
“It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness” is a proverb that means it’s better to take action on a problem than to just complain about it, said left-leaning Google’s AI powered Gemini. Some attribute it to a Chinese saying. It is the motto of the Christophers. It was spoken by Eleanor Roosevelt.
Some might think this writer was slow on the uptake of what was going wrong in MHVille. To some degree, there is truth to that notion. But after a few years at MHI, it became obvious that they kept doing and saying the same things over and over again, with the emphasis or the current ‘action’ alert changing perhaps, but the overall thrust remaining the same.
All the while, consolidation of the industry continued while the industry continues to underperform during an affordable housing crisis. Nor can MHI insiders effectively deny it, because some of their own members have essentially said the same things in their investor relations packages.
When MHProNews dared publicly call out MHI’s staff leadership for apparently deliberately misleading their own members in an emailed message, with those MHI staff leaders at the time being President and CEO Richard “Dick” Jennison and EVP Lesli Gooch, that was a bridge too far for some. Later, MHProNews publicly called out Clayton Homes, 21st Mortgage Corporation, and others for their apparent role in what was later deemed by other researchers to be apparent antitrust violations.
Media in the ideal present facts. Expert opinions and analysis can help guide people’s understanding of facts, evidence, and reality.
Our nation is being herded by insiders in a certain direction that routinely benefits them and routinely is contrary to the interests of the vast majority of Americans, regardless of their skin color, gender, beliefs, or political views. The mainstream media and big tech are often part of that process. Who said? How about leftist award-winning journalist Glen Greenwald? Interesting that Greenwald was once celebrated by the left and now is considered persona non grata because like Kennedy, Gabbard, Swain or others who have left the plantation he holds views that are not in lockstep with the insiders messaging and agenda.
Is it bad enough yet? If more Americans understood what is actually occurring, the threats to themselves, their families, friends, and loved ones, this upcoming election would not be close at all.

Changing events and dynamics can change the timing of any report on MHProNews or MHLivingNews. That noted, there is yet another special report tentatively planned for tomorrow (Monday) morning. Don’t miss it. ##
