    President O'Biden

    It's probably not a coincidence that Biden and the feds gave special treatment to SVB depositors. They were a "special" bank in deep blue California that did all the right things for liberal causes, including donating over $73M to BLM groups. That's a lot of money for a bank to waste on social...

    President O'Biden

    A lot of SVB assets were tied up in long term Treasury bonds. When interest rates started rising, their value was severely reduced. Very poor management resulted in failure. Now Biden has effectively lifted the $250K insurance cap for SVB depositors. They'll be paid by FDIC funds meant to cover...

    President O'Biden

    Another one bites the dust. Signature Bank - based in NY - was taken over by state regulators yesterday. "The FDIC established a "bridge" successor bank on Sunday which will enable customers to access their funds on Monday."...

    President O'Biden

    Regarding the economy in general and Biden crowing about the jobs he's supposedly created in the past two years - it's malarkey. A large percentage of those jobs are reinstated jobs where people were called back to work after the covid shutdown. Thanks to his govt spending and giveaway programs...

    President O'Biden

    Maybe - after all, it was a tech sector bank in the deep blue state of CA. It was reported on Fox Business that 94% of the money invested there was uninsured by the FDIC (over the $250K limit). There could be a lot of resulting bankruptcies if that money goes up in smoke.

    Fox News, the Dominion Lawsuit, and the Big Lie

    The end of the video shows Jacob Chansley in his most violent rampage. Too bad they left out the part where he reads Trump's tweet over his bullhorn that asks people to peacefully go home. The sad and outrageous part of this story is that Chansley's incompetent lawyer talked him into a plea...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    Although this comes from the Senate rather than the House, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham will introduce legislation to declare Mexican Cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, establishing a legal bases for taking military action against these groups. This act is long overdue, and offers another...

    Fox News, the Dominion Lawsuit, and the Big Lie

    A few random thoughts: Fox may not be reporting on the Dominion lawsuit because they're directly involved in the litigation. It could be their lawyers have told them to stay silent. Regardless, we've heard the NBC version of what's going on and the quotes from private communications between...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    One would think that politicians could agree on common sense legislation. We'll see how that works with the previously mentioned bill that would protect women's sports from the participation of transgender men. Passing this should be a no-brainer, but the majority Democrats in the House have...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    This is a prime example of a non-sequitur. We were discussing the accomplishments of the Republican majority in the House so far this year. Voter suppression (or lack thereof) hasn't been brought up at all, but is a good subject for a separate discussion. However, the actions of the new Speaker...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    The Jan6 committee was a kangaroo court from the very beginning, designed to promote persecution/prosecution of Trump supporters. There were no opposing viewpoints allowed, no cross examination of witnesses, and Republican members who would've disagreed with this agenda were kicked off the...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    How did you come to that conclusion?

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    That's the problem. The legislation already exists and Biden won't enforce it. He "...actually got rid of the migrant protection protocols, he stopped border wall funding, he gutted interior enforcement against illegal aliens, put a 100-day moratorium to ‘study’ border security protocols..."...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    For those insomniacs who need something to fall asleep with, go to House.gov to see what goes on there. However, three bills come to mind: 1. They passed a bill to cut funding for Biden's addition of 87K new IRS agents (they already have 93,654 employees). 2. They introduced articles of...

    Death by DeSantis

    I hope she's paying her fair share of taxes.

    Death by DeSantis

    It's a stretch to characterize the entire GOP party of FL with the nonsense of one renegade state representative. Both parties have their share of nitwits, and this guy is just one example.

    Death by DeSantis

    Absolutely, assuming they ever count for anything at all. This from an opinion piece by Rex Huppke, a flaming liberal DeSantis-hater if ever there was one. The Democrats must be starting to worry about DeSantis; his book just came out and is #1 on the Amazon best-seller list, and he's getting...

    Death by DeSantis

    For the group of polls for the month of Feb '23 it's most definitely a statistical outlier. Maybe it's a coincidence that that group yields the same results in its three previous polls.

    Death by DeSantis

    That's exactly right. There's a core of "Trump or nobody" fanatics who can't or won't accept the strong possibility that he may not be the nominee. On the opposite end of the GOP spectrum are the Trump haters that won't accept him if he is. The RNC better find a way to unite these factions or...

    Death by DeSantis

    Not yet anyway, but if they decide he's a threat he'll get the same treatment Trump and Kavanagh did. Lies, character assassination, bimbos erupting from nowhere making claims from high school - you name it. It's their SOP now.
