There’s really nothing that needs to be said. When agencies show you their priorities, believe them. When institutions show their politicization, do not excuse it.

If the report from Axios is accurate, the nomination of communist Saule Omarova to Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is sunk.
However, this could also be viewed as an Overton window maneuver where the next radical nominated will be only slightly less communist, and thereby gain appointment.
AXIOS – […] In phone call on Wednesday, Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), all members of the Senate Banking Committee, told Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) — the panel’s chairman — of their opposition. They’re joined in opposing her by Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). (more)
Senator Mark Warner’s opposition is a little unusual. Perhaps this is a downstream consequence of the recent Virginia election. Regardless, at least this is one nomination that did not get through. So far, Biden’s economic, energy and finance policies have been disastrous for Main Street; unfortunately, that also looks like a feature not a flaw.

Under normal circumstances I would not subject anyone to a video containing the most self-centered, pontificating, vile and horrible Hillary Clinton. However, in this example it is Moonbat framework by the insufferable Rachael Maddow that needs to be seen. Keep in mind, his show is one of the most watched on the Moonbat Speaks and NoBody Cares (MSNBC) network.
Mr. Maddow introduces his point by referencing how Big Tech removed the voices of people who were critical of Vladimir Putin in the recent election.
Google, Apple, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter all removed content, and Maddow is jaw agape at the crushing blow to democracy and ‘free speech’ that such action highlights.
In framing his viewpoint – notice how the MSNBC host has to completely ignore that Google, Apple YouTube, Facebook and Twitter did exactly the same thing to any American voice who was speaking out against Joe Biden and/or questioning the results of the 2020 election. This is a perfect example of how leftists need to ignore things in order to advance their ideological points.
There’s not a single CTH reader who could not destroy Mr. Maddow in a debate, simply by staying silent and then dropping the ‘how does that reconcile‘ hammer at the end of the cognitive dissonance:
What is it that concerns you?… Maddow digs hole deeper
How is that damaging to democracy?… Maddow digs with more detail
Removal or silencing of political speech is dangerous?…. Maddow now digs with more ferocious uptalk to make her case
TRUTH HAMMER DEPLOYED – Didn’t that just happen in the 2020 U.S. election with the voices of Trump supporters banned, censored, deplatformed and removed?… Maddow ::: D’oh, crickets :::
The broader point is – professional leftists are now openly advocating for the removal of speech they do not like. When they don’t like the argument they shout racism. Essentially that’s the larger point behind wokeism. They don’t like your speech, so your speech must be defined as violence, or racism, or (fill_in_blank).
Their goal is the reason for the Facebook whistleblower propaganda that was advanced a few months ago. Leftist ideologues now want the information on the internet to be controlled by government. These people are crazy and must be ridiculed into irrelevance.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is being fearful and yet taking action despite that fear. One Australian patriot, a former soldier, shares his message of courage while protesting to support the freedom of all Australians. {Direct Rumble Link}
Joshua 1-9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
– WATCH:
.
When this madness is over, there will be a reckoning. History serves as a guide for what can be expected. The officials within government who are pushing their totalitarian dictates under the guise of COVID fear will not succeed. There will be a reckoning; of that, I am certain.
Expect to pay at least 14% more for this year’s Thanksgiving festivities, according to the American Farm Bureau. The bureau estimates that a feast for ten will cost $53.31 this year, and I would personally like to know what grocery store has such low prices; the estimate seems drastically low. The US Department of Agriculture noted that wholesale prices of 8-16 lb frozen turkeys are up 21% from November 2020. Pumpkin prices have risen 5% due to droughts in California and heavy rains leading to fungal infestations in Illinois. Green beans, a typically cheap staple, advanced 4% YoY, while cranberry sauce prices increased 2.5%. Milk, eggs, potatoes, and many other Thanksgiving staples have all increased in price. Butterball President and CEO Jay Jandrain said that turkey prices will remain elevated into 2022 due to increased feed, labor, and transportation costs. However, US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said he is confident Americans will still foot the higher bill to maintain the annual tradition.

We have recent familiarity with FBI connections as they pertain to high profile criminal cases; specifically cases with a framework of domestic terrorism {Go Deep}. Against that backdrop, the Daily Mail is now reporting that Darrell Brooks was arrested and convicted in 2007 for a bomb plot against a Nevada casino.
Via Daily Mail – The man accused of murdering five after mowing them down in his car during a Wisconsin holiday parade was previously convicted for threatening to bomb a casino, DailyMail.com can reveal. Darrell Brooks, 39, was busted in March 2007 for calling in a bomb threat to the $43-per-night Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada. (read more)
We already know Brooks had a lengthy 20-page rap sheet of previous criminal conduct. However, the question being raised is: would the FBI have Darrell Brooks on their radar after the events in Nevada?
Unfortunately, it would not be a surprise to discover Brooks was a lone wolf and also a “known wolf”. There is a pattern of the FBI having contact -of varying degrees- with domestic terrorism events and the suspects who carry out such attacks. The fact that Brooks was released from prison just prior to the Wisconsin Christmas parade attack is enough to make the cynical senses tingle.
The FBI was fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed their plot. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists, specifically Tasfeen Malik, and were monitoring her phone calls and communications before her and Syed Farook executed their attack killing 14 people and leaving 22 others seriously injured. The FBI took no action. The FBI knew Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad Alissa before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action.
The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and was tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action.
Consider the case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil in Garland, Texas in 2015. The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, the FBI took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.”
Remember, shortly before the 2018 mid-term election, when Ceasar Syoc – a man living in his van – was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices“? Remember how sketchy everything about that was, including the childlike perpetrator telling a judge later than he was trying to walk back his guilty plea because he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create.
Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched? And we cannot forget the January 6th DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort. Have we forgotten the Atlanta “Olympic Park Bombing”, and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard Jewel?
Then, there’s the entirety of the FBI conduct in “Spygate”, the effort against Donald Trump using FBI resources; the coverup operation using the Mueller/Weissmann special counsel using 50 investigative FBI agents; the 13 FBI agents assigned to evaluate a NASCAR racetrack garage door pull-down rope; the FBI involvement with the Hunter Biden laptop that went nowhere; the disappearing Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner laptop –in the known custody of the FBI; and the missing investigation of the Awan brothers.
So yeah, when it comes to a lone wolf driving purposefully and with malicious intent into a Christmas parade, suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious…
While the world is trying to imprison people who are not vaccinated, here Biontech owners and staff will not be vaccinated themselves for “safety reasons.” While 5 million dead worldwide out of 7.8 billion, this is by no means a disease that has warranted destroying the world economy. This is for climate change and the Great Reset. The blind following of government commands without any independent thinking is very serious.
It is a depressing reality, but around 73% of Americans will die with debt, according to a 2016 poll by Credit.com. The average amount of outstanding debt at the time of the report was an alarming $61,554.00 per person. Around 68% of those studied had credit card debt, 37% had mortgage debt, and 6% died with student loans. US household debt has spiked significantly since this survey was taken, and at least three in four Americans will die without the ability to pass on their lifelong earnings to their kin. Survivors likely will not need to pay off the debt as creditors will confiscate any available assets.
Let’s not forget that dying in the land of the free is anything but free due to death and estate taxes. Americans feel more optimistic about the situation than they should — only 30% of Americans polled during a 2017 survey believe they will die with outstanding debt. Credit card debt was once an indication that people were living well beyond their means, but with the accelerated cost of basic living necessities, the gauge is less plausible. This is one of the many reasons why financial literacy is absolutely crucial to maintain financial independence throughout life. It is possible to rise above debt, but most do not. As inflation continues to wreck every sector, it is of the utmost importance that people budget and allocate funds appropriately.
However, inflation will also reduce the out-of-pocket revalue of previous debt. This survey appears to be based on the presumption that everything remains equal. The greater risk will be the hike in state and local taxes, in additional to federal.
Ever since 1927, when the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in a failed attempt to help Europe, which still ended up defaulting in 1931, Keynesian economics succeeded in brainwashing the analysis of how people look at the central banks. Where the 1927 G4 attempt to lower rates in the US was intended to deflect capital back to Europe, smart capital began to smell a rat, and they were correct. The capital inflows to the United States intensified and aided in creating the 1929 bubble high just as the 1989 Japanese bubble aided by capital inflows.
Then there was the G5 in 1985 that stupidly tried to lower the value of the dollar to reduce the trade deficit. They were clueless that at the same time, that would devalue US assets by 40%, which resulted in the 1987 Crash. You cannot lower the value of the dollar to sell more goods without also lowering the value of everything in your country. They don’t teach that in economics class because the government is supposed to be all-powerful.
Now people claim the entire rally is because the Fed has been engaging in QE since 2008. They claim the Fed has inflated the assets and the entire movement they attribute to the Fed’s actions. This is no different than the commands from Fauci to wear masks when at the beginning he stated that masks do nothing. There are people who wear a mask when driving alone in a car because they are incapable of independent thought. This is the same problem – as Stanley Milgrim called it, blind Obedience to Authority.
Post-Great Depression, the analysis became MARXIST. Oh, the Fed will raise rates because they do not want us to buy assets so the stock market should drop. But the Fed raised rates all the way into the rally until COVID. That did not prevent the rally. Yet analysts continue this brainwashed analysis that raising rates is bearish for the market.
Now they claim that, oh, it’s QE. They never look at the system as a whole, which includes international capital flows. The Fed failed to produce inflation while engaging in QE between 2008 into 2019. They ignore that, just as the global warming crowd ignores everything before 1850. If the Fed issued $1 trillion and buys in US Treasuries, I hate to tell you, but it has ZERO impact. Why? Because debt today is simply cash that pays interest.
Once upon a time, you could not borrow against government debt. Thus, it was deemed non-inflationary as long as it could not be used as money. Today, you post bills as collateral to trade futures. The old theories no longer exist in this new strange world we live in. Hence, all the QE was merely swapping the debt for cash.
Then it all depends on who is actually the seller of the debt to the Fed. If China sold its debt for cash, then the dollar went offshore and the domestic money supply never increased. There is a lot more to this game than the simplistic analysis that leads to brainwashing the financial community and investors. I know. I have been one of the few international advisers dealing with people on all continents.

At first I thought this was a parody of news media outlooks. However, once I saw the article [ABC News] I realized it was not a spoof; it’s very real.
The San Francisco news desk of ABC7 actually has a position called “race and social justice reporter” who claims the term “looting” is a politically and culturally incorrect way to describe the looting that has been taking place over the past several days. However, I’m not exactly sure of the journalist’s qualifications for reporting, because he also claims not to be able to see the race of the people doing the actual looting. WATCH:
… In order for the ideological leftists to continue advancing their insane ideology, they have to pretend not to know things. Race and social justice reporter Julian Glover is certainly proving that point by pretending not to see who is doing the robberies.
