New Condominium Spotlight: Rose Hill
By: Albert Moy
Tags: Nomad, Condominiums, Luxury Condo, Rose Hill, Real Estate

You’ve probably heard of The Rockefeller Center, known for its shops, restaurants, ice skating rink, and especially during the holidays, the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, but do you know The Rockefeller Group who was the team behind it? Being one of the most trusted and well-known real estate developers, you would think that they’ve developed many residential buildings in New York before. Surprisingly, they never did…until now.

Meet Rose Hill. Rockefeller Group’s first-ever residential building in New York. And it’s a beauty. Rising over 600 feet tall, the magnificent 45-story condominium represents a perfect marriage of class Art Deco architecture with sophisticated homes. Not only that but fused with a full suite of amenities that’s been created for today’s modern New Yorker.

Located in the historic neighborhood formerly known as Rose Hill (and currently known as NoMad), Rose Hill will feature 123 condominium residences starting from $1,195,000 and ranging from studios to four-bedrooms. Many residences feature substantial private outdoor space, with a collection of soaring penthouses crowning the top floors of the building.

What I appreciate about Rose Hill is the wide variety of unique floor plans. Instead of creating cookie-cutter floor plans across the different floors, they thought about the current new generation of homebuyers — all with many unique wants and needs — and tailored different floor plans as different people have different needs.

As you enter the double-height lobby, you’re met with a grand black marble 8-foot fireplace, which leads to the jewel-box Blue Room lounge and landscaped courtyard with outdoor seating.

Blue Room Lounge

Walking down the spiral staircase features a fully equipped gym curated by Fhitting Room, a professional-grade squash court in collaboration with SquashRx, an expansive 50-foot pool surrounded by hand-crafted, green oxide-glazed tiled walls, and a dry heat wellness sauna.

Spanning the entire 37th floor includes a suite of building amenities of a private dining room, the Library lounge with a billiards table, and two covered terraces with spectacular 360-degree views.

Penthouse Terraces looking North up Madison Avenue

Stepping inside your residence, you’ll find rusticated hardwood floors, bronze-finished hardware, and soaring ceilings up to 11 feet high with window heights of 9 feet.

The open kitchen with Miele appliances features custom ultra-matte, dark charcoal woodwork, metal-framed glass upper cabinetry, and Calacatta honed marble countertops.

Stunning kitchen with custom ultra-matte, dark charcoal woodwork

Anchored by a custom-designed vanity, the dramatic master bath offers brass-finished fixtures with radiant heated floors in dark, veined marble.

As you expect, the level of detail and quality at Rose Hill is superb, bar none.

How to Determine if a Home is Worth Flipping
By: Shawn Boday
Tags: Real Estate Investments, Home Improvement, Business, Finance, Real Estate

An essential skill in making a house flipping profit in the real estate business is knowing how to value a house properly. For individuals who are in the industry to make profits from low purchases. Here are ways to determine worthy homes to flip.

Average Value Determination: The house post-rehab value is determined by considering the cost of the houses in the general vicinity and the price of recently sold homes similar to the post-rehab vision. The final worth after repairs is the value you use for determining the worth of the house.

Standard cosmetic rehab: A general rule to estimate repair costs is $20 for every square foot. Based on this assumption, adjustments can be made upwards or downwards depending on the individual house’s specifications. This value will help determine whether to select the house for flipping.

Transactional expenses: Purchase closing costs are usually paid by the seller and account for 0.5 percent of the purchase price. The selling closing costs range between 1–6 percent, with an additional 1 percent as attorney fees. Holding costs such as property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance costs should also be considered.

Offer price-setting- There are formulas to determine what offer price will be stated. One way is to get 70 percent of the average repair value deducting the repair costs. Another way is to subtract the repair costs, closing and holding expenses, and desired profit from the ARV to get the right offer price.

Geographical setting: Proximity to facilities such as shopping malls, transportation services, and school increases the property’s value while highways and airports decrease it. Different locales may have various school taxes, municipal and private trash collection companies with different days.

Physical attributes: As much as the seller wants the house to stand out, it shouldn’t be so significantly marked up in features that it overshadows the neighboring houses. It will only lead to a scenario where it will be too costly for that neighborhood. The most successful house flips are those that have the most work. However, if structural issues are suspected, it would be wiser to buy a house in better condition.

Lenders- Rehab lenders give between 65–70 percent of the ARV. This factor is because an investment is made with the anticipation of making money in the end. If the lender advises otherwise, then there will not be enough equity for the investing party to make money in the end.

Do You Need a Real Estate Agent to Buy or Sell a Home?
By: Gregory Glover
Tags: Entrepreneurship, Home Buying, Business, Real Estate, Home Selling

Gregory Glover from Georgia discusses if you need a real estate agent to buy or sell your home.

Buying or selling a home for the first time can be a daunting process. Though the conventional wisdom is to hire a professional, many may question if they need a real estate agent. While it is technically unnecessary to hire an agent, there are many factors you should take into account before you decide against it.

Firstly, an unavoidable part of buying or selling a house is complicated paperwork. For those who are not familiar with the industry, this paperwork can potentially be confusing and too time-consuming. Real estate agents will complete this part of the process for you. It’s also important to consider that if you don’t have a lot of experience with the business of real estate, it’s helpful to have someone whose job is specifically to assist you. If the party from whom you are buying or to whom you are selling has an agent, and you don’t, the agent may tend to take over the transaction, leading to a worse deal for you.

If you are buying a house, there is no reason not to hire a real estate agent, as the seller will almost always pay the commission for the buyer’s agent. It may appear that if you don’t have an agent, then you would be able to save on the price of the house since the sellers wouldn’t have to pay the extra commission to your agent. However, this is not necessarily the case since the seller will often keep the extra money, or the entire commission will go to the seller’s agent. In other words, it’s unlikely to save you much, if anything.

If you decide to hire a real estate agent, make sure to choose one with plenty of experience to ensure that they can get the best deal for you. It’s also important to consider whether to hire the seller’s real estate agent; this is an excellent idea if you’re selling, but does not confer many benefits for the buyer. Agents often reduce their commission if they represent both parties, netting the seller more money. However, if you’re buying this may not be ideal, as the agent’s priority is to sell the house, not make sure you’re getting the best possible deal.

Ultimately, it’s up to personal preference whether or not you want to hire a real estate agent, although having one can certainly make the buying or selling process more straightforward.

What is a tax abatement and how does it affect me?
By: Albert Moy
Tags: Tax Abatement, Real Estate, 421 A, Property Tax

If you’ve gone shopping (or window shopping) for new condominiums before, you’ve come across a few residences that have a tax abatement. You’re probably scratching your head wondering, “What’s a tax abatement?” In short, it’s a reduction in the property taxes for the property for a period of time.

The most common one is the 421a tax abatement, which was started in 1971 to encourage the development of underutilized unused land by drastically reducing property taxes for a period of time. The time can vary from 10, 15, 20, or 25 years. Under this tax abatement (and using a 10-year exemption as an example), it gives the owners a 100% exemption from any increases in their property taxes for the first two years, and then taxes are increased by 20% of the normal tax rate every two years for the remaining eight years. This tax abatement is normally reserved for new development.

So what happens if you’re not one of the lucky ones to be in a tax abated building? There is another tax relief program that your condo or co-op may qualify for, but only if it’s your primary residence. The tax abatement is known as The Cooperative and Condominium Tax Abatement Program, which has several requirements, with the main requirement being your primary residence.

One important thing to note is that your taxes may jump significantly once your abatement ends (and it may begin to increase year after year as you approach the end of your tax abatement). Make sure you take that into consideration should you buy into a building with a tax abatement so that you’re not surprised by a significantly higher property you would have to pay.
Manhattan housing market is coming back this holiday season

Via Pinterest

Manhattan’s sales and rental markets are making up for the pandemic slowdown with some hyperactive activity in the last days of 2020.

According to a new UrbanDigs report, Manhattan’s sales and leasing activity is picking up and remains elevated over the same week in 2019, an indication that the suppressed demand is being released.

The report finds the number of new sales contracts increased again for the third week in a row. The number of deals, 238, is a 26 percent increase over the same week last year. In fact, the report finds the number of contracts signed for fall 2020 has already eclipsed fall 2019.

Deal activity is increasing into the holiday season, suggesting that the typically quiet weeks of late December and early January may be unexpectedly busy. New listings continued to fall in anticipation of the upcoming holidays.

In the Manhattan rental market, new signed leases increased 16 percent over the previous week. Renters are looking for deals in the normally quiet late fall. The number of new rental listings dropped, and landlords may opt to hold some listings back for the more robust spring season.
How To Write Real Estate Listings The Easy Way?
By: Gavin Hidaji
Tags: Real Estate, Realtor, Realtor Websites

If you’re reading this… I’m going to assume you’re some sort of real estate professional. If not, you’re certainly working for one in some capacity.

This is a short guide on how to write property listings that grab buyers’ attention and get them to inquire.

The most important factor in writing listings isn’t actually the writing itself… it’s photography. If you haven’t already hired a killer photographer for your listings you should think about doing so. The old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” could not be more true when it comes to property listings.

Now for the copy itself…

The number one mistake real estate professionals make when writing listings is not knowing their audience. If you’re selling luxury properties, your verbiage needs to appeal to the kinds of people who buy luxury properties. If you’re trying to find tenants for your one-story suburban rental, you need to appeal to the kinds of people who would be looking to rent.

This concept applies to every aspect of your writing… from word count to the adjectives you choose to use.

The best (and most logical) place to start is with your headline. Your headline has two aims. The first is to grab a reader’s attention. The second is to sell the main benefit(s) of the property. Does the property have an excellent view? Does it feature a newly renovated kitchen? Ask yourself the question… “What is special about this property?”

Believe it or not… the rest of the listing should write itself. Use descriptive adjectives that appeal to your ideal buyer and highlight the secondary benefits of the property. Avoid using words that sound negative or cryptic (ex: “fixer-upper.”) If your headline is strong. The rest of the listing simply needs to mirror the headline.

Good luck!
The Ultimate Move-In Guide Pt. 2 — Unit Work
By: Tenant Report
Tags: Real Estate, Moving, Apartments, Rental Property

The saga continues

Last time we saw the full scope of switching over tenants. It was a lot, but we know you’re very capable.

This next part is fun because as you grow your landlord empire, it can be done systemically by your team.

Repairs & safety

This is where the carpentry skills of your team will come into sharp relief. If you or someone who works for you is a bonded contractor, feel free to make electrical, structural, or piping repairs yourself. Otherwise, hiring a specialist should be built into your rental costs. A burst pipe in the first week of a move-in can lose the tenant entirely, damage your reputation, and possibly cause injury.

Ideally, you have a good relationship with the leaving tenant and can send them a survey about the condition of rooms, fixtures, and exteriors. If so, major problem areas can be anticipated before you get to the property. That will save you cash!

A second look

Once your unit is painted and beautiful, photograph it. It will be useful to list similar properties, add content to your website, and prove quality in the case of a legal dispute.

If your municipality requires buildings to be checked between tenants, this is the time to do it. If you don’t know their standards ahead of time, it may cost you additional days or weeks to get up to code. A little maintenance all the time is better than a major overhaul every few years.

And lastly…

Change the locks. If you have automatic or electronic ones, you can simply change the passwords and hand out new fobs. Otherwise, it’s in everyone’s best interest to change the locks with every tenant so that future incidents have no way to transpire.

Next time, we will handle the social side. The top of the mountain is in view!
Tulum, a town made for Instagram
By: Akash Ghai
Tags: Beach, Instagram, Mexico, Travel, Real Estate

The idea of buying property can be really alluring on vacation, and its not always easy to walk away from a sales presentation in the region surrounding Riviera Maya. Especially ones concerning time share properties.

Developments like these make me feel like the golden era of the town is behind us. The best plots with ocean views are taken, property prices are inflated the town has become a money machine, than a laidback beach town. Developments like these help the economy, but absolutely kill the vibe.

Early History

My host, Alex Alvarez, has been a professional diver for over 20 years. He had moved to Tulum in the 90’s when it was truly a quaint, laidback beach town. He lights up when he talks about his early days and casually mentions that he was one of the divers who discovered a 13,000 year-old human skeleton during an underwater cave expedition around the region. These were the earliest known remains of a prehistoric teenage girl who had possibly fallen in the cave and injured herself. The PBS documentary First Face of America chronicles this expedition. He has partnered with National Geographic as well

Hearing this story and Alex’s passion for diving, I was convinced to go diving with him and document a day in his life. However, his house had burned down recently and he had his own construction to supervise. “In January we can try, maybe. I advice you not to dive with a camera the first few times, most accidents recently have something to do with photography,” he warned.

I was amazed at his humility and thought I’d leave him a token for new home, a painting of an underwater cave made during my stay; it’s still in progress.

December 14–20

Last week, there were 17 total contracts signed in Manhattan at $4M and above, which was 6 less than the previous week. There were 7 contracts each for condos and co-ops along with 3 contracts for townhouses.

Although this week slipped, we have seen the fourth quarter spark a luxury market revival, with 232 total contracts signed in 2020, compared to 229 in 2019. So far, this year’s fourth-quarter volume total is $1.872B, compared to $1.784B in 2019.

The most expensive contract was an off-market deal and is one of the most expensive condominiums sold in Manhattan this year: 9C at 150 Charles Street for around $40M.

The duplex was originally purchased in 2016 for $34.433M, spanning 5,698 square feet including 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms with spectacular views of the Hudson River, along with two landscaped terraces.

The second most expensive contract was a townhouse at 132 East 70th Street, asking $9.75M. The house went through two different brokerage firms and in 2017, the townhouse had been asking for as high as $20M. The 5-story house is 20-feet wide with 7,224 square feet and an elevator. Currently, the first two floors are commercially-zoned and also needs to be renovated.

Let’s take a quick glance at the breakdown:

Day 1,436: For the second time in two days Trump plays golf despite promising to ‘work tirelessly’ for Americans
Tags: Politics, Donald Trump, Covid 19, News, Joe Biden

For the second day in a row, Donald Trump’s team added a note to his daily schedule: “During the Holiday [sic] season, President Trump will continue to work tirelessly for the American People [sic]. His schedule includes many meetings and calls.”

For the second day in a row, there was evidence of neither meetings nor calls.

For the second day in a row, Trump was actually playing golf.

Trump never put much effort into the job of president, eschewing work in favor of literally anything else. He has visited one of his own golf courses more than 300 times and one of his own properties more than 400 times during his 1,436 days in office.

But since his election loss, Trump has given up any and all pretense of even trying to appear that he is putting effort into the job of president. Americans are suffering from COVID-19 from a health-wise and financially. The incoming Joe Biden administration is trying to ease their transition into office. A “deliberate bomb” exploded in Nashville, Tennessee, a possible act of terrorism.

Trump couldn’t care less about even pretending to care. So he’ll continue to play golf and tweet baseless claims about election fraud until January 20.

Biden pummels Trump Administration for neglecting to organize online protection after an enormous hack
By: Krish Mathew
Tags: United States, Donald Trump, Cyber Attack, China, Joe Biden

On Tuesday, President-elect Joe Biden accused the Trump Administration of neglecting to organize the online protection from getting hacked, and he vowed to make genuine strides as and when he gets to work.

“This digital assault includes a grave peril to our public security. The assault was purposely completed and adroitly planned. It was performed by using innovative computerized gadgets. The assailants were effective in finding the public authority ill-equipped and napping,” Biden added.

Biden stated that the assault was having the sign of Russian digital activities and the Trump government should consider them responsible for it. His remarks came after President Trump limited the hack and asked whether Russia was behind it after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo attributed the hack to Moscow.

None of the U.S. authorities expressed that Beijing was liable for the hack. On Monday, Attorney General William Barr had expressed that Russia appeared to be behind the digital assault, preferring Pompeo and restricting Trump.

On Tuesday, Biden said that when he takes office would respond in the wake of assessing the mischief brought about by the assault; notwithstanding, he declined to discuss specific reaction choices. He wishes that the United States and its partners surrender to worldwide norms of carefully direct the internet, Biden added.

The programmers abused the outsider IT contractual worker SolarWinds and progressed into some organization organizations, including those of the Commerce and Treasury workplaces. The digital break goes back to a while and was revealed in the press seven days prior.

Biden said seven days prior that his group had been educated on the hack through specialists, however, the Defense Department has held information about different issues.

The U.S. Organization has not made a proper assessment of who was behind the cyberattack, yet both Attorney General William Barr and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo implied that all signs point towards Russia.

In any case, Trump, who has since quite a while ago tried not to scold Moscow for its promptings, implied towards China for the assault.

According to authorities, the digital penetrate started in July, however, specialists accept that the hacking began months sooner. A vindictive code was slipped into updates to standard programming that screens PC organizations of the public authority.

Why I love Trump
Tags: Politics, Hate, President, Donald Trump, Joe Biden

Before I get lambasted by the readers, I just want to point out the unfortunate phenomenon of the general media. Why are the most inflammatory and controversial topics get the most views, while the actually meaningful topics get left at the side? Do we all just want to be provoked when we are in front of the computer?

Courtesy of Pixabay

This is, however, not a joke. I do love Trump, and I want him to be the next president of the United State.

He’s a racist, but Biden said “You ain’t black”. He’s a racist, but Biden voted to segregate the black students from the white. He’s a misogynist, but Biden sexually threatened women when he was the vice president. He’s a pedophile, but Biden touched kids inappropriately in front of and behind the camera. When there are accusations that can stand on either candidate, it is not about voting who can represent the majority of the country, but the less contradictory to the majority’s values. Then, why are you even supporting one side?

The majority of Sander’s voters do not want Biden as president, yet, they still vote for him solely because of “Anyone but Trump”.

Biden can be saying one thing two days ago, and the other thing after. Fracking was an example. One second Biden was supporting it, the next second he was reluctant to accept it. What is your stance? Oh yeah, whatever and wherever the wind blows. When the general perception was alright with racism, he was a racist; Now the general perception is anti-racism, miraculously, Biden was reborn in nirvana and washed away the racism.

Trump is consistent. Obnoxious or embraced, he is consistent. Just because the mainstream does not like what he does, he doesn’t refrain from further actions, he continues.

This is a video of Trump talking about how international trade is harming domestic producers for 30+ years ago. What happened when he became president? He strengthened the trade barriers to ameliorate the plight of the local production, and increase the average income of the residents of the United State. He is a racist, yet the unemployment rate hit historical lows in the black, Latino, and Mexican communities. This is why when Trump wins, his supporters celebrated his triumph; when Biden wins, his supporters celebrated Trump’s loss. I would rather have 100 die-hard fans than being the “less-bad person”.

I do not particularly like Trump as a president solely for the fact that he actively demonizes the left and people who go against him, even the republicans. However, he is consistent in his play. He won’t be wanting Pancetta in the morning, and proceed to eat Picanya in the afternoon. If he is a disgrace in polarizing his rivals, he will still be polarizing in the next 10 years. This goes the exact same way for his merits.

As a businessman, I love the quality of being consistent. This is why I love Trump.

You believed their story. You told us you did. You watched it unfold on national TV. You voted for it. Now you can learn what happened!

STEP 1:

Blame your opponent for a natural or biological disaster that is wreaking death and destruction to humanity. Double up and publish body counts every day, with “you’re gonna die!” threats. Brand your opponent a mass murderer who murdered a hundred times more people than 9/11 or Vietnam, or Auschwitz all put together.

Then make up lies about it every day, or make some “mostly true” statistics read like the end of the world. Blame it all on your opponent. Pound away on the story that “help will not be coming” … no cure until next year. Get everyone to agree.

Hire some college professors to act like authorities and doctors to carefully explain why help will not be coming unless they vote for YOU. Get friendly celebrities, to rant and rave about the end of the world if you don’t get elected, and how you’ll save everyone after the elections.

Presto. Everyone votes for you because they don’t want to die, and they certainly won’t vote for that guy! They believed all the crap you spread. By the time the truth starts coming out, you’ve already won, and your media friends just simply bury the truth. Boom.

What’s Next for U.S.-Israeli ties?

Over at The Hill, Larry Haas has a good article on U.S.-Israeli ties.

Here’s one paragraph:

Perhaps, too, Biden recognizes what recent events have confirmed: Israeli-Palestinian peace never was the key to broader Arab-Israeli peace. To its chilly peace deals with Egypt and Jordan, Israel now has warmer and potentially broader deals with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. These Arab nations are driven by the economic and military benefits of engaging with Israel, and by the fears they share with it over a threatening Iran.
Jim Carrey as Joe Biden SNL has Stopped; will Anyone Replace?

Jim Carrey as Joe Biden SNL has stopped, but the question is that will anyone continue this role?

It seems that Jim Carrey has quitted playing Joe Biden’s role on SNL. He tweeted on Saturday to announce that he will no longer impersonate Joe Biden’s role, which he played during the first six episodes of the sketch comedy show’s 46th season.

“Though my term was only meant to be six weeks, I was thrilled to be elected as your SNL President…comedy’s highest call of duty,” Jim Carrey wrote on Twitter. “I am just one in a long line of proud, fighting SNL Bidens!”

Jim hasn’t appeared in SNL’s last two episodes, and neither has Alec Baldwin, for that matter, who portrayed Donald Trump over the previous four seasons, as well as the beginning of Season 46.

SNL hasn’t shared any news about the role ending or continuing. During the last episodes, former cast member Maya Rudolph had been making the impression of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Jim Carrey as Joe Biden SNL has Come to an End

Jim Carrey’s impersonations of Joe Biden included a 13-minute opening sketch, him tousling with Baldwin’s Donald Trump, working with Rudolph’s Harris, or being supplemented by Heidi Garnder’s Dr. Jill Biden.

Jim Carrey, who lives in Los Angeles, traveled to New York City for six “Saturday Night Live” episodes.

After the election is certified and even Joe Biden selected his communications team, now is the best time for the popular series to find a new Biden. Critics haven’t been in love with Jim Carrey’s mugging-heavy take anyway.

With Biden’s four-year run as president, it would make plenty of sense to have a fixed cast member adopt the high-profile job.

“Saturday Night Live” airs at 11:30 p.m. on NBC. This week, Kristen Wiig has returned as host. Dua Lipa will be the musical guest.

Who Should Replace Jim Carry?

Now a question arises here; Who Should Replace Jim Carry?

Jason Sudeikis?

John Mulaney?

Jack Nicholson?

Or what if Leslie Nielsen was still alive?

Jason Sudeikis used to play Joe Biden’s role on SNL. Now he lives on the west coast. If Jason Sudeikis returns to play Biden, he and Wiig may also reprise their “Two A-Holes” characters. Fingers crossed.

Sudeikis is the co-creator and star of the Apple TV+ series “Ted Lasso,” a surprise hit.

John Mulaney has also previously played Joe Biden on “SNL.” Mulaney has a regular gig in the same building as “Saturday Night Live’s” Studio 8H. He is now a staff writer on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

Jack Nicholson could have some free time on his hands if there weren’t any in-person Lakers games for the foreseeable future.

Imagine if Leslie Nielsen was still alive! With his overconfident, gaffe-prone old white guy would be absolutely the best choice for Biden.

Will Donald Trump Leave?

Trump wants to stay in the White House

Although Georgia did not go for Donald Trump in the presidential election held in November 2020, Trump insists that the results should be turned around to make him the winner. Joe Biden has been certified as the winner in Georgia, where there is a Republican Governor and a Republican Secretary of State. Other Republican officials have declared that Biden won and Trump lost. Trump will not accept defeat although it is clear that he did not win. He seems to think he can change the votes in several states. Biden is the President-elect of the United States.

The vast majority of followers of Trump seem mostly to not be Republicans in the sense of the old GPO. They are Trumpists. The Republican Party has become the party of Trump to a large extent. Some of the old time Republican leaders are appalled at what Trump has done to their party. The masses of rural Republicans who are “poorly educated” as Trump calls them and likely less well off financially have rallied around Trump. His political rallies have been attended by thousands of these people cheering loudly for Trump as they don their Trump attire. Republican members of Congress have also been loyal supporters of Trump.

There have been people who have said that Trump will not leave the White House. Although his wife may be anxious to get back to some sort of normal life in Florida (even though the neighbors don’t want them there), Trump wants to stay at the White House. There is no way he can do that, but he still insists that he won the election.

It seems like Trump thinks he can run again in 2024 and win. His opponents think that is not a possibility because they think he should be in prison by then or that he will have dementia. Some Republicans insist that he deserves to be prosecuted for his crimes. His followers still stick with him steadfastly.

Trump going into a quiet retirement is unlikely. He likes to be in the limelight although he has stayed out of it considerably (except for his many tweets) since the election. He seldom says anything about the coronavirus pandemic which is ravaging the United States with so many positive cases of the virus and deaths by the thousands each day.

The transition to the Presidency of the United States for Joe Biden has not been smooth so far due to Trump’s actions. Trump needs to leave.

For some reason, I don't expect from Biden much better translation of his public health strategy into categories of common sense. Scientists and doctors, in general, are awful politicians (remember Assad or Ardzinba), and vice versa.

So you better begin to look for a more coherent bashing incantation now as Trump is ready to close up shop.
Joe Biden, convener of the free world?

Even during the four years that Donald Trump inhabited the White House, the US president was occasionally referred to as the “leader of the free world”. It was a habit, a lazy one, still occasionally indulged in by the western media, even though Mr Trump was clearly and defiantly not leading the world, free or un-free. (If anything, he was being mis-leading, conflating fact with fiction, truth with lies, honesty with dishonesty and all the rest of it.)

Anyway, the term “leader of the free world” belongs to the Cold War era and basically refers to the western bloc and its allies (free or not).

I’ve always thought “leader of the free world” was a rather ridiculous term. As the millennium neared its end, it became increasingly ludicrous and then when Mr Trump took the helm, it became a joke. Trump’s America was patently unfit to lead and had no manifest desire to do so anyway. The “free world” too was a bit of a myth — where, on the map, was it be found? Countries that were still part of the free world were no longer as liberated from fear and doubt as in years past.

So the term “leader of the free world” is ripe for retirement. But what, if anything, should take its place? As an accomplished and evocative writer (and former leader of the free world) it is fitting that Barack Obama has come to the rescue.

On a recent episode of ‘ Pod Save the World ‘, a political podcast laid on by Mr Obama’s former aides (Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor) Mr Obama suggested that America must re-invent its engagement with the world.

“At least during my presidency what was still true,” said Mr Obama, “and I think this is what was lost during the Trump presidency and I think will be a necessary challenge for the Biden/Harris administration to confront — we still set the agenda” at summits and so on.

He continued: “And if we didn’t set the agenda, nobody else had the combination of technical skill, bandwidth, diplomatic experience, relationships, trust and power to be able to stitch together various interests to arrive at something like a Paris accord.”

Ok. That was then. What happens now?

In a multipolar world, said Mr Obama, the US can’t walk into a room and demand everyone fall into line. Instead, it has to understand the interests of the key players, lead by example, and play the roles of “convener, agenda-setter, persuader.”

So America’s 46th president, Joe Biden, can be convener of the free world then?

Sounds about right.
