World’s Leading Banker: The U.S. Establishment
Has Failed
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/9/2024 12:29:06 AM
Americans have “legitimate frustration” over migration and economic opportunities, “and I agree with them,” said Jamie Dimon, the billionaire chairman and chief executive officer of the world’s biggest bank, JPMorgan Chase. In his 2024 annual letter to shareholders. Dimon condemned the nation’s establishment for failing to protect the American dream, economic dynamism, and economic opportunities for ordinary Americans: From my point of view, our highly charged, emotional and political domestic issues are centered around 1) immigration and lack of border security and 2) the fraying of the American dream, particularly for low-income and rural Americans who feel left behind

Even some Senate Democrats are rejecting parts of Joe Biden's radical environmental agenda.
The Senate passed a resolution on Wednesday voting down an important aspect of the Biden administration's efforts to force the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
In a 53-47 vote, Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, and Jon Tester of Montana joined Republicans in blocking a rule aimed at reducing the number of gas-powered cars on America’s roads. Independent Sen. Krysten Sinema also supported the measure. Politico reported:
The regulation from the Federal Highway Administration, Reg. 2125-AF99, required state transportation planners to calculate greenhouse gas emissions
Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Wednesday on CNN’s “King Charles” that former President Donald Trump has “created chaos and suffering in our country that is unimaginable” with his Supreme Court picks who overturned Roe v. Wade.
Booker said, “Donald Trump put on the Supreme Court people that he said his main litmus test was the overturning of Roe v. Wade. That has created chaos and suffering in our country that is unimaginable. The states where you can literally put a bounty out for a woman if she’s trying to get abortion care or states like Arizona where they are reverting back, getting back to a law when slavery
Former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden by two points in North Carolina, according to a recent poll.
A poll conducted by Quinnipiac University between April 4 and 8, 2024, found that Trump had a slight advantage over Biden among North Carolina voters.
The poll, which surveyed around 1,401 self-identified registered voters, had a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points. Out of those surveyed, 48 percent said they would vote for Trump, while 46 percent said they would vote for Biden. When asked who they would vote for if the choices also included Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Older women are particularly vulnerable to and can potentially die in heat waves.
This is a fact, and I will not dispute it.
What to do to alleviate the heat causing all the distress is the issue. There is plenty of room for disputation and some very loose play with facts.
As I age, I like what is commonly referred to as "air conditioning." When it's not warm enough to engage that system, I rely on other time tested, relatively energy efficient, and remarkably effective little miracles known as "fans." They are usually ceiling-mounted, but we do have a couple tower models to sweep the

Hamas has indicated it is currently unable to identify and track down 40 Israeli hostages needed for the first phase of a ceasefire deal, according to an Israeli official and a source familiar with the discussions, raising fears that more hostages may be dead than are publicly known.
The framework that has been laid out by negotiators says that during a first six-week pause in the fighting, Hamas should release 40 of the remaining hostages, including all the women as well as sick and elderly men. In exchange, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners would be released from Israeli prisons.

I reported earlier on Joe Biden's confusion, having to read off notes, and looking like he was having a "Weekend at Bernie's" moment while meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. That was followed by a press conference with the Japanese prime minister for a few questions. He was almost an hour late for that. When he finally showed up, Kishida appeared to respond to questions like a normal leader. Biden, meanwhile, had the teleprompter. But even with that, he had trouble. He also made a weird comment, encouraging Kishida: "Don't stay in North Carolina."
Hours after Arizona’s supreme court declared on Tuesday that a 160-year-old abortion ban is now enforceable, Republicans in the state took a surprising stance for a party that has historically championed abortion restrictions – they denounced the decision.
“This decision cannot stand,” said Matt Gress, a Republican state representative. “I categorically reject rolling back the clock to a time when slavery was still legal and we could lock up women and doctors because of an abortion.” First passed when Arizona was still a territory, the ban only permits abortions to save a patient’s life and does not have exceptions for rape or incest.

Former President Donald Trump said Arizona has gone too far after the state's top court upheld a near-total abortion ban dating back to1864.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Mr Trump said he thought the ban would quickly be "straightened out".
The law bars abortion from conception, except to save a mother's life.
His remarks come two days after he released a statement saying abortion rights should be left to US states, sending a mixed signal.
In the video statement posted on his social media platform Truth Social, Mr Trump also took credit for the US Supreme Court's 2022 ruling that overturned Roe v Wade, the landmark decision that protected
It's been a long time since the release of a political film excited me enough that I actually wanted to see it in a theater rather than wait for its appearance on HBO or Starz.
The last time I was moved to attend a political film in the theater was 1977's "Network." As a populist fable, "Network" scored with its combination of the comic genius of Paddy Chayefsky and brilliant acting by some of the film industry's biggest stars.

Hamas rejected on Wednesday President Joe Biden’s plan for a temporary cease-fire in Gaza as the terrorist group plans on putting forward its own demands for ending the war.
Negotiators from the U.S., Israel, Qatar, and Egypt were discussing a plan to halt the war in Gaza for six weeks to facilitate the exchange of 900 prisoners held in Israel for 40 of the hostages Hamas continues to hold in captivity, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Hamas is demanding a permanent end to the war in Gaza and Israel’s full withdrawal from the area in exchange for the remaining hostages captured during the mass

An independent review of gender-related medical care for minors submitted Wednesday to the U.K.’s National Health Service found that previous studies on the topic are of “poor quality” and there is “very limited evidence on the longer-term outcomes” associated with medicalized transition.
“This is an area of remarkably weak evidence, and yet results of studies are exaggerated or misrepresented by people on all sides of the debate to support their viewpoint,” Hilary Cass, who led the review, wrote in the introduction. “The reality is that we have no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of interventions to manage gender-related distress.”

I often make the distinction between liberals and Leftists.
I understand why many people think I am too generous in doing so because liberals often fly cover for or implicitly coddle the antics of Leftists, but there is a genuine difference. Liberals tend to think the antics of Leftists are a stupid distraction but fear that criticizing them would give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Conservatives do that, too. Look at Laura Loomer as exhibit one. We have our share of loons, the big difference being that they have less power over our Party and our movement than the Left does over Democrats.

Freshman Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggested that black Americans should be exempt from paying taxes as a form of reparations but then said it might not work because of the black people who are “not paying taxes in the first place.”
Crockett, who recently made headlines for perpetuating the debunked myth that U.S. border patrol officers “whipped” Haitian migrants, was giving an interview on “The Black Lawyers Podcast” when she brought up the idea.“I don’t remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity,” the progressive congresswoman recalled to host Jehan “J” Carter of the proposal she saw — apparently from an unnamed famous person.

During an interview with Univision that took place last Wednesday and aired on Tuesday, President Joe Biden said that the White House is “examining” if he has the power to unilaterally shut down the border and that while “some have suggested I should just go ahead and try it, and if I get shut down by the court, I get shut down by the court,” “we’re trying to work through that right now.”
Interviewer Enrique Acevedo asked, “Have you made a final decision on taking executive [action], in terms of what you want to do at the border, that includes the power to shut down the border, as it was suggested?”
President Joe Biden's reelection campaign on Wednesday unleashed a new organizing weapon in their arsenal, in an effort to rally LGBTQ+ support for their campaign.
Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez described LGBTQ+ voters as a secret weapon for the upcoming election.
'LGBTQ+ voters are a force to be reckoned with,' she said in a statement to the Advocate. 'They were critical to our victory in 2020, and they will be critical to winning again this November.' The campaign drafted new messaging to appeal to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer voters, urging them to unite behind the 'Out for Biden-Harris' program.
Joe Biden sat down for a one-on-one softball interview with Democrat-friendly Univision.
Biden attacked the Second Amendment during his interview and told Univision host Enrique Acevedo that he used to teach law school.
“I used to teach the Second Amendment in law school … From the very beginning, there were limitations. You couldn’t own a cannon!” Biden said.
Of course, the Univision host did not push back on Joe Biden’s lies.
Robert De Niro was pictured working on the limited Netflix series Zero Day in his native New York City on Tuesday.
The two-time Academy Award winner, 80, was clad in a navy blue blazer over a button-up blue checkered shirt with a navy blue tie with diagonal stripes, as he toted files in his hand.
De Niro, who welcomed daughter Gia Virginia last year with his girlfriend, martial arts instructor Tiffany Chen, 45, rounded out his ensemble with khaki pants and eyeglasses with black frames.The actor plays the role of former President George Mullen in the limited six-episode series,
In 1998, San Francisco installed the latest cutting-edge technology to run the train network: floppy disks. A quarter of a century later and the city’s transportation agency is still using the same system.
People under the age of 30 might not know what a floppy disk is; an archaic way of storing data (think USB stick). But the workers at San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) sure do as they are still using obsolete tech to automate the movement of light rail vehicles. (snip) The SMFTA uses five-inch floppy disks to automatically control trains inside the subway.
The consumer price index accelerated at a faster than expected pace in March, pushing inflation higher and likely dashing hopes that Federal Reserve will be able to cut interest rates anytime soon.
The CPI, a broad measure of goods and services costs across the economy, rose 0.4% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 3.5%, or 0.3 percentage point higher than in February, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a 0.3% gain and a 3.4% year-over-year level.
