Half of America’s banks are potentially insolvent – this is how a credit crunch begins - Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

"The twin crashes in US commercial real estate and the US bond market have collided with $9 trillion uninsured deposits in the American banking system. 

Such deposits can vanish in an afternoon in the cyber age.

• Almost half of America’s 4,800 banks are already burning through their capital buffers...

Recognize the challenge, fix it! Or forever lose!-----Unrigging Our Elections - The American Mind

Unrigging Our Elections - The American Mind - Mark and Mollie Hemingway

• Republicans need a serious counter-offensive if they want to stand a chance.
• It might not matter whom Republicans run for president in 2024.

"America’s propaganda press traffics in disinformation. 

Its Big Tech oligarchs censor news and information helpful to conservatives, while elevating biased news and information that helps the Left. 

And its election systems have been overrun by privately funded groups that run Democratic “get out the vote” campaigns to traffic ballots into ballot boxes. 

We catalogued this particularly complex problem in Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections.

• Instead of election day, we now have an “election season”...

Soft Selling Assault - The Hugh Hewitt Show

"From Texas comes the story of a high school where some students formed a mob that beat the Vice Principal to the point of hospitalization.  Yes, hospitalization…

Here’s the quote:

“Three or four other kids jump in on her and just pummel her to the ground, and they are kicking her and pulling her hair,” the teacher said.

The victim’s family says she was left unable to talk after the attack and was suffering from excruciating head pain...

Now the story is, in the end, about the teachers complaining to the media that the school is not protecting them.  It would certainly appear that is true...

"JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon finally said the quite part out loud when he suggested in his Annual Letter to CEO’s that there must be a coordinated alignment by government, corporations, and non-government organizations (NGO’s) to implement what he describes as practical policies to expedite the move to a transitioned, net-zero world. 

For Dimon, this includes using eminent domain to confiscate private property...

• ...All while ignoring the reality that by moving toward such a world, America and other western democracies would necessarily become more dependent on China, America’s most sinister economic adversary...
• Because of the quantity of rare-earth elements that China controls, a dependence on China to produce the energy and products of a net-zero world would bind American investors to an antithetical Communist regime that hates individual liberty and seeks to harm America. 
• Forcing a move to technologies whose inputs America does not control, to create a society investors do not want, risks the economic sustainability that used to be a foundation of sound corporate investing. 
• A transitioned, net-zero world therefore is not possible if liberty, economic stability, and democratic institutions are to remain pillars of American society...

She's a scumbagette!-----Liberal SCOTUS Justice Caught in Scandal That Blows Up Recent Left-Wing Attacks

Liberal SCOTUS Justice Caught in Scandal That Blows Up Recent Left-Wing Attacks
"There’s one certainty in politics. 

• If a Democrat is accusing a Republican of doing something, it is the Democrat who is inevitably actually doing it.

That dynamic played out again Wednesday after a major revelation about Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor called into question all the recent left-wing attacks on Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch...

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to recuse herself from multiple copyright infringement cases involving book publisher Penguin Random House despite having been paid millions by the firm for her books, making it by far her largest source of income, records show.

In 2010, she got a $1.2 million book advance from Knopf Doubleday Group, a part of the conglomerate. In 2012, she reported receiving two advance payments from the publisher totaling $1.9 million...
