Migrant crime and carjackings ‘don’t matter to that many Americans,’ left-wing think tank VP tells Democrats

August 26, 2025 — bunkerville

The Democrats got off their summer camp with a bang.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. – As the Democratic National Committee (DNC) holds its annual summer meeting, party leaders and officials face a multitude of problems as they try to escape the political wilderness.

Well for starters, they might have thought twice about location location location. Minneapolis really? They brought out their old war horses with the same old tripe. Keep at it and we might just take the New Jersey governorship.

This is where this fine fellow is doing his thing running for Mayor. Says it all.

Meet Minneapolis Muslim Marxist Mayor Candidate Omar Fateh – Mamdomi 2.0 on Steroids

Always start with the land grab thingy. 

The New York Post reports:

Migrant crime and carjackings ‘don’t matter to that many Americans,’ left-wing think tank VP tells Democrats

Insha Rahman, the vice president for advocacy and partnerships at the Vera Institute of Justice, made the shocking statement as she framed Trump’s Washington, DC, crime crackdown as a “huge opportunity” for the Democratic Party.

“You want to talk about the crime issues voters care about,” Rahman explained to Democrats, as she shared the results of a recent poll commissioned by Vera’s political advocacy arm, showing which types of crimes respondents believe will most impact them personally.

“Don’t take the bait because most Americans are more worried about how we are going to address mental health issues, the visible homelessness that we see on streets, and how do we deal with mental health and other issues that drive the sort of random incidents that scare all of us – that’s what you should be talking about.” …

“Don’t take the bait and talk about migrant crime or carjackings or the things that actually don’t matter to that many Americans,” Rahman said.

“Don’t take the bait because most Americans are more worried about how we are going to address mental health issues, the visible homelessness that we see on streets, and how do we deal with mental health and other issues that drive the sort of random incidents that scare all of us – that’s what you should be talking about.” …

Good luck Dems.. keep at it.

The Strange Background of the Fed Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Accused of Mortgage Fraud

August 21, 2025 — bunkerville

Trump Federal Housing Director Bill Pulte issues bombshell revelation that Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook likely committed MORTGAGE FRAUD. “[Jerome] Powell must look into it or he is complicit.” “Ms. Cook: why did you designate your Atlanta Condo as your primary residence two weeks after declaring your Michigan home as your primary residence?” Another mortgage fraud investigation may be opened. Wow.

 

 

Well what another surprise. Why do you need to study in Senegal? Call for Reparations for Blacks?

Cook earned a BA in Physics and Philosophy, magna cum laude, from Spelman College in 1986 and was named a Harry S. Truman Scholar. She became Spelman’s first Marshall Scholar and went on to read Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, completing her second BA in 1988. She also took postgraduate courses in philosophy at Cheikh Anta Diop University. She took courses towards a master’s degree in philosophy at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Senegal. Cook earned a PhD in economics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1997 under the guidance of Barry Eichengreen and David Romer.[12] Her dissertation focused on the underdevelopment of the banking system in czarist and post-Soviet Russia.[9][12]

Source: Times of India.

An authority on international economics, especially the Russian economy, she has been involved in advising policymakers from the Obama Administration to the Nigerian and Rwandan governments. Her research is at the intersection of macroeconomics and economic history, with recent work in African-American history and innovation economics.[3][4] Cook is regarded as one of the few prominent black female economists and has attracted attention within academia for her efforts in mentoring black women and advocating for their inclusion in the field of economics.[5]

Cook herself now speaks five languages: English, French, Russian, Spanish and Wolof, a Niger–Congo language spoken in a subregion of West Africa.

Lisa Cook was inspired to study economics by Dr. Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander, the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in economics in the United States. Cook’s research focuses on African American history and innovation economics. Her research suggests that violence against African-Americans under the Jim Crow laws led to a lower-than-expected number of patents filed. Cook has collaborated with other economists to collate a database on lynching in the United States.

On May 10, 2022, the Senate confirmed Cook’s nomination by a 51-50 vote, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tiebreaking vote. Cook was sworn in as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in May 2022, making her the first Black woman on the Federal Reserve’s board.

Cook supports reparations to compensate for Black Americans for being subjected to slavery and discrimination.

Why we need someone with such varied interests other than the American Economy is a question.

UN Spotlights Radical Mahmoud Khalil As Keynote Speaker at UN Education Conference

August 20, 2025 — bunkerville

The United Nations wants every girl in the world to know that the true purpose of education is to prepare for revolution. And we give the UN $18 billion for this nonsense.

  • US Contribution:
    The US is the largest single contributor to the UN, providing $18.1 billion in 2022, according to The Heritage Foundation. This includes both assessed and voluntary contributions. The UN’s total funding exceeds $74 billion, with the US being the largest contributor. 
     
    As it marks its 80th year, the United Nations is facing a major budget shortfall. The situation could worsen as the United States – the UN’s largest funder and debtor – reassesses its ties to the organization.Jul 31, 2025

I know Trump has his hands full right now,  but before his time runs out, could we please have him address the whole UN nonsense? He is the man for the job.

From  Hot Air:

UN-Backed Feminist Education Program Features Syrian Mahmoud Khalil Praising Terrorist Icon and Urging Student “Revolution”

A refresher on this Muslim fellow first: After more than three months in ICE detention, Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil returned home to the New York area after a federal judge ordered his release. NBC News’ Maya Eaglin has more.

Earlier this week, I attended Transform Education’s From Classrooms to Revolution, featuring Columbia University’s Mahmoud Khalil.

What’s troubling is that Transform Education is part of UNGEI, the United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative. Instead of focusing on education, the event promoted student “revolution” as a moral duty and necessity. 

Khalil praised PFLP terrorist Ghassan Kanafani as an inspiration, framed education as “resistance,” and lauded Columbia’s militant campus activism and mutual aid networks that supported students during arrests. He described carving protest chants into his prison bunk, hailed students as the “moral compass” of radical change, and even preached about “positive masculinity.” 

Quotes by Kanafani:

“Imperialism has layed its body over the world, the head in Eastern Asia, the heart in the Middle East, its arteries reaching Africa and Latin America. Wherever you strike it, you damage it, and you serve the World Revolution.”

Given the militancy of Columbia’s protests, it’s alarming that a women’s education program would choose Khalil as its keynote speaker.

Now I remember a time when education was presented as transformative, but the transformation was supposed to be internal to the student. Before one went out into the world to transform it, young people needed to expand their own minds, learn how to think and analyze, understand the complexities of history, and learn how to think in general. 

Khalil was famously the spokesman for the Columbia student “occupiers” who vandalized the campus and harassed Jews. His icons are Marxists, and his goal is to decolonize the West. 

How very UN of him. 

On top of it all, the very idea that the United Nations is promoting revolution is bizarre. It is, after all, an organization of sovereign nations. It happily includes some of the worst regimes in the world and even gives them spots on its human rights commissions, so it would be interesting to have the Secretary General specify exactly which countries the UN is trying to foment revolutions in.

How the Deep State Took Down Richard Nixon

August 18, 2025 — bunkerville

It turns out that Trump was not the first President that the deep state attempted to dispatch. A fascinating documentary on the take down of a previous President. Richard Nixon. A terrific interview by Steve Bannon of the author led Bunk to a couple of free great videos for the next couple of weeks over at Bannon’s website. Well documented.

Here is part of the setup:

But less than halfway through his term in office, Richard Nixon was gone.

Why? Not because of Watergate. Not because of a smoking gun.

No; it was: Secret meetings between judges and prosecutors; evidence hidden from defense attorneys; biased juries; an unaccountable prosecution force packed with political enemies, Congressional leaders who were out to get the president, and a dishonest media.

The Deep State took Richard Nixon down by unprecedented prosecutorial misconduct, withholding of exculpatory evidence, reprehensible judicial misconduct that included many prohibited secret ex-parte meetings with prosecutors, massive violations of Fifth Amendment due process rights and Sixth Amendment fair trial rights, and the one-sided dishonest reporting by ALL of the dominant media outlets of the day—CBS, NBC, ABC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time Magazine and Newsweek Magazine.

All told, a corrupt judiciary and unaccountable prosecutors violated the due process rights of Nixon and the Watergate defendants more than a dozen times. We will document all those due process violations—something that no one else has ever done in more than half a century.

This is how the Deep State took down a president — and created the playbook they’ve used ever since.

Michael Patrick Leahy, is an investigative journalist, author, radio show host, and CEO of The Tennessee Star and The Star News Network.

Here is a bit of the discussion and the film Leader. Go to the 31:00 time stamp in the video for the beginning.

Clinton Cash is another great flick.

All you need to do is enter a name and Email to catch them free for now.

Meet Minneapolis Muslim Marxist Mayor Candidate Omar Fateh – Mamdomi 2.0 on Steroids

August 13, 2025 — bunkerville
 
Add Another likely Muslim Mayor to the ranks for implementing a Marxist agenda to a major city. This time the target is Minneapolis in 2025. Another sleeper that is not getting the attention it deserves. In some ways worse than the likely Mamdomi Mayor for New York City. The city council is already about as radical as It can get.
 
The Minneapolis City Council is the legislative branch of the city of Minneapolis in Minnesota, United States. Comprising 13 members, the council holds the authority to create and modify laws, policies, and ordinances that govern the city.
 
In recent elections, council membership has been dominated by the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL). As of 2024, 12 members identified with the DFL, while four identified with Democratic Socialists of America (three members identify as both DFL and DSA).
 
So let’s see how the endorsement by the DFL of this Somali parented candidate got started off. Says it all
 
 
 
So just who is Omar Fateh?.
 
Mayoral candidate Omar Fateh of Minneapolis said in an interview that his first priority as mayor would be to protect “undocumented residents” from what he claimed was a “hostile federal government.”
 
 
Omar Fateh’s background includes:
  • Early Life: Born in Washington D.C. in 1990 to Somali immigrant parents, Fateh is a first-generation American. His experiences as a Black Muslim shaped his political views. He holds a Master’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University.
  • Public Service: Prior to the Senate, Fateh held positions at the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Department of Revenue, and served on local government advisory committees.
  • Historic Election: In 2020, Fateh became the first Somali American and first Muslim elected to the Minnesota Senate, representing District 62.
  • Senate Tenure: Serving since 2021, he has authored legislation including bills on fentanyl testing strips, free college tuition, and protections for Uber and Lyft drivers. He chairs the Senate’s Higher Education Committee and vice-chairs the Human Services Committee.
  • Political Views: Fateh identifies as a democratic socialist and progressive. His platform includes universal healthcare, the Minnesota Green New Deal, public transportation improvements, equitable education, police reform, and housing justice.
  • Mayoral Candidacy: Fateh is running for Mayor of Minneapolis in 2025. His campaign centers on economic and social justice, proposing measures like a $20 minimum wage by 2028, rent freezes, affordable housing expansion, and alternative public safety solutions. He has received the DFL endorsement.

    Sitting down with Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh

 
 
 
 
 
Matt Walsh sums it all up.

Socialist Mayoral Candidate Omar Fateh Reveals America’s Greatest Threat – White America. Just skip over the short ad midway. He goes on to discuss gratitude and the lack of it.

 

Lest we fall asleep at the switch: We are losing our cities to Radical Muslim Mayors.

Gerrymandering has sordid history as old as Constitution

August 12, 2025 — bunkerville

Nothing new with Gerrymandering. It’s been going on since the beginning of our Republic.An interesting piece now at the Washington Times on Gerrymandering and worth a read. My old homestead county in rural Pennsylvania has been essentially Gerrymandering out of existence for any representation with miles outside the county included by any number of Representatives.

One item on the list our Founders should have given some additional thought to perhaps.

Washington Times:

We’ve come a long way from the country’s first gerrymander, which involved two future presidents vying for election to the first Congress.

James Madison, the future No. 4, faced off against James Monroe, the future No. 5, in a district crafted by Patrick Henry specifically to be tough for Madison to win.

 

Henry, a committed anti-federalist, wanted to deny Madison any role in Congress. He hoped to wound the new government system, which he despised.

Madison pulled out a victory and went on to shepherd the Bill of Rights through Congress.

Henry operated at the bluntest level, adding whole counties to Virginia’s 5th Congressional District and deciding which ones to leave out.

 

As technology improves, gerrymandering has gained precision to the point that it has become a dark science, reducing people to their basest political, racial or cultural beings, often in the service of a political party’s power.

Just after the turn of the century, Arizona lawmakers drew a district that tracks the waters of the Colorado River for 40 miles as it flows through the Grand Canyon. It gained no voters but served as an electoral bridge before stretching out to encompass the Hopi reservation.

That district was a nod to centuries-old animosity between the Hopi and the Navajo, whose reservation surrounds the Hopi lands. This animosity forced the mapmakers to get creative to ensure that the two reservations had different representatives in Congress.

For former Rep. Steve Israel, a New Yorker who ran the Democrats’ House campaign committee from 2011 to 2015, the most extreme gerrymander became known as “Goofy kicking Donald Duck.”

Senator Warren and NYC Mayor Candidate Mamdomi – Perfect Together

August 6, 2025 — bunkerville

Senator Warren has had numerous jokes made about her so-called lack of Indian heritage for decades of which she claimed. It often belied the seriousness of what she and her agenda was all about. We need not wonder anymore. Lost to memory for many is that back in 2020 she was a candidate for President. For a time she and Bernie Sanders were doing very well in the polls.

Of course the so called Billionaires will just head South by Southwest and kiss NYC bye bye. Wall Street? With the new technology now there is less and less reason for the companies to keep their headquarters in the city and to remain as well.

 

Bunk just wandered through some of the oldie moldies of Bunk’s past posts about her.We should have paid a bit more attention to what a true Marxist she is of what she was all about. Let us let this be a lesson not to let these Commies slide by again. Here are a portion of previous posts.

Warren Says She’s Willing To Ban Construction of New Homes in America

January 16, 2020 — bunkerville

If your new home isn’t carbon neutral, an Elizabeth Warren presidency might not let you build it. And if that means no new homes get built in the United States, the Massachusetts senator and Democrat presidential nominee says she’s fine with that.

In the fog of being overloaded with news, it is easy to miss just how radical the Democrat nominees are. We should be concerned that the two communists are either leading or close to it in some polls. What in the world are people thinking? It is now acceptable to destroy our economy on the altar of Progressive Climate Change nonsense? No drill baby drill for her. She would have us live in tents as in San Fran? It’s interesting that none of this was brought forth in the recent debate. But of course.

All of this comes after she made her millions flipping houses.

Fauxcahontas Warren flipped houses, was a GOPer, became a multimillionaire first

In her 2006 book All Your Worth, co-authored with her daughter, Amelia, Warren lists as a top myth the idea that “you can make big money buying houses and flipping them quickly.” She has made a career out of telling people how to behave in financially responsible ways, and out of creating laws that will make it illegal for them to do otherwise.

Elizabeth Warren

WesternJournal report: During her appearance on Morning Joe, Warren was asked what she’d do to “change the tide of U.S. policy on the issue of climate change” and acted as if she’d been thrown the softball of all softballs.

“That means we’ve got to be willing to do things, for example, like regulation. By 2028, no new buildings, no new houses, without a zero carbon footprint.”

And she’s coming for your car and electricity bill, too.

“By 2030, trucks — light-duty trucks and cars, zero carbon footprint. By 2035, all production of electricity, zero carbon footprint,” Warren said.

Oh, and there was also talk of some vague idea of social justice — because schemes like this always need to be undergirded with some such vague idea-

“We also need to make environmental justice really at the heart of our climate plan,” Warren said.

Elizabeth Warren promises illegals commisson to investigate US crimes against them

July 15, 2019 — bunkerville

We have a Presidential candidate no less threatening the very thin blue line of patriotic men and women. Those men and women who for some reason are still willing to risk life and limb keeping the angry hungry hordes from over running our country. Disregard this at our peril. This is scary dude stuff. She has a fairly good chance of becoming the Democrat Presidential candidate.

Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren promised a crowd of supporters on Saturday that on her first day in the White House, she would create a commission to investigate “crimes committed by the United States against immigrants.”

…..

“On my first day, I will empower a commission in the Department of Justice to investigate crimes committed by the United States against immigrants,” she declared at the leftist Netroots Nation conference.

In an outrageous, sweeping attack on the good people working Border Protection missions during the current Democrat-fueled immigration crisis, Warren broad-brushed baseless accusations that are making life for them more dangerous and difficult.

According to Warren’s published plan … “President Trump has weaponized deportation in ways that are costly, ineffective, and designed to maximize pain. It’s time to end this cruelty — and refocus on true threats to public safety and national security instead.”

Referring to an “obsessive focus” on border enforcement, Warren wrote: “And under Trump, it has become increasingly abusive. We should repeal this criminal prohibition to prevent future abuse.

As president, I will immediately issue guidance to end criminal prosecutions for simple administrative immigration violations; end Operation Streamline, which subjects migrants to mass prosecutions; and refocus our limited resources on actual criminals and real threats to the United States.

Fauxahontas Warren spent weekend in China trying to cause heap big trouble

April 2, 2018 — bunkerville 

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is in China for Easter weekend, speaking with dignitaries in Beijing about her reservations regarding President Trump’s actions on the world stage and collective concerns about Sino-American trade relations.

Warren, a Democrat whose name has been floated as a 2020 Trump opponent, talked trade policy with Vice Premier Liu He, Defense Minister Wei Fenghe and another Chinese official named Yang Jiechi, according to Reuters.

“This has been a chaotic foreign policy in the region, and that makes it hard to keep the allies that we need to accomplish our objectives closely stitched in,” Warren said.

She reportedly accused Trump of trying to “take the legs out from underneath [the American] diplomatic corps,” which “Fox & Friends” discussed may have been a reference to the president’s firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

“You can’t but help see this through a political prism,” Griff Jenkins said. “She is trying to go overseas and undermine our significant and very important negotiations.”

Marxist Muslim Ugandan NYC Mayoral Candidate Mamdani Now Only Single Digits Behind Cuomo

May 29, 2025 — bunkerville

Fast talking good looking Mayoral Candidate Mamdani for NYC, belies the truth of his agenda for the city. He was wise enough to rid himself of any foreign accent from Uganda. The attacks on Cuomo are starting in earnest. This is a race to be watched in earnest.

An update on Bunks Covid. My rocket ride with Covid seems to have taken a turn for the better and I am starting to see a light at the end of this nasty tunnel. Last week I had thought it had broken, but got stuck in a relapse. Thanks for all your prayers and concern. Still a long way to go.

Let’s update the NYC Mayors race.

From the New York Times:

The ballot order has been randomly chosen, and you almost have to wonder if the lottery balls were momentum-weighted. Atop the ballot will be Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman who has quickly risen to second place in public polls. The front-runner, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, will be listed sixth. Does ballot order matter? It didn’t seem to in 2021, when Aaron Foldenauer nabbed the top spot, and the eventual winner, Eric Adams, was listed ninth.

What, if anything, surprised you as you pulled together the data?

Well, Mamdani’s numbers are obviously pretty eye-popping. It’s not just that he has a lot of donors, or that he’s raised a lot of money — he’s also managed to reach voters in seemingly every corner of the city. There are neighborhoods where almost everyone who made a donation to any campaign donated to Mamdani. Like in Bushwick, there were a total of 785 donors who gave to Democrats, and 692 of them were Mamdani donors.

Four years ago we have his selling point of Rent Control for the city which no doubt is appealing with its high housing costs.

From an earlier post:

Socialist NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani leads a protest against the arrest of Newark’s Mayor for storming an ICE facility. Zohran Mamdani has said that migrants are “residents” of wherever they live and that “we will protect you.”

To say this candidate is a Socialist is being kind. Flying under the radar is this foreign Marxist Muslim Mayoral candidate that not enough attention is being given. Zohran Kwame Mamdani was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda.

The New York City primary Mayoral race is June 24. It is a jungle primary where voters select the top five candidates so anything can happen. As goes the Primary I suspect goes the General election. After all it is NYC.

Just a few weeks away. Mamdani is only single digits away from taking out Cuomo. Part from an earlier post.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda. Why am I not surprised? So far the race is shaping up for the leaders to be Cuomo, Progressive Landers and the Mamdani the Socialist. Cuomo is looking better, or rather, the last best hope. As of now there are seven candidates. It’s a jungle primary with the voter ranking the top 5 candidates. A few weeks to go until the primary election. Here is the Mamdani bio….

…. Taking that lesson with him, he went on to co-found his college’s first Students for Justice in Palestine chapter and later organize across the country with different progressive organizations seeking to win national elections as well as expand healthcare coverage. As life took its inevitable turns, with detours in film, rap, and writing, it was always organizing that ensured that the events of our world would not lead him to despair, but to action.

Zohran is proud to be the first South Asian man to serve in the NYS Assembly as well as the first Ugandan and only the third Muslim to ever be a member of the body. For too long, communities such as these have been left out of our state’s politics and priorities. Zohran will seek to amplify the voices of the preferably unheard across both the district and the state for as long as he remains in office.

Source

So this Muslim foreigner thinks he has a good chance now at being the Mayor of New York City. The latest>

Here is a clip in his early career.

Zohran Mamdani is one of a handful of democratic socialists who will join the state Legislature next year. He joins us to talk about his plans for when he takes office in January.

Good luck NYC.

The Supreme Court, Jerome Powell Fed Chair and Trump – Why we have Much to Fear

May 23, 2025 — bunkerville

First a quick update on Bunk’s Covid…. I am starting to make some progress and still a good way to go. More about that at a later date, but thanks so much for all the prayers and best wishes.

Our intrepid Mustang who comments and posts occasionally spurred me on in a note of concern regarding the latest Supreme court ruling yesterday.

The three liberal members of the court dissented from the decision by six conservative justices, which keeps Wilcox and Harris off their boards as their lawsuit challenging their terminations is pending.

While Thursday’s decision does not explicitly bar Trump — or any other president — from firing a Federal Reserve board member, it suggests that any effort by a president to do so would face strong resistance from the Supreme Court as currently constituted.

A federal district court judge in Washington, D.C., had enjoined Trump from removing both women from their respective boards. An appeals court later upheld that order. More at CNBC

With Moody’s recent downgrade of the U.S. Credit Rating which did not take any hit during Biden’s term with the outrageous spending spree, one has to wonder what truly is going on with our financial system. Back in the day when I was in better form I had more interest in this topic. So I figure why not haul out a few oldies for a bit of an insight on the machinations of the Fed and why Trump may know and have a lot more concern than we are aware of. Drum roll please:

Looking back at Bunks Box of Gold, this nonsense started under Obama. Who else?

Is the Federal Reserve violating the U.S. Constitution’s separation of powers in its new purchases of $600 billion worth of U.S. Treasuries? Is the Fed engaging in an unconstitutional monetization of the   U.S. Congress’ out of control spending spree that is really a bridge loan to fiscal insanity?

Germany, China, Russia and Brazil are attacking the Fed’s move. President Barack Obama is now defending the Fed in his overseas trip to India. Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin demanded that the Fed “cease and desist” on its bond purchases. Wall Street experts are now starting to call the Fed’s moves an end run around the legislature.

And even Fed chairman Bernanke has criticized such extracurricular activity on the part of central banks in the past.

Watching closely in the wings are the Congressmen who want a full-fledged audit of the Fed, including Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), who said he will push to examine the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions if he takes control of the Congressional subcommittee that oversees the central bank, as expected, in January.

Although Article I of the Constitution specifically gives Congress the power to “borrow,” “coin” and “regulate” money, a little understood section of the Federal Reserve Act, section 14(b)(1), does let the Fed buy Treasuries in the open market — and under the Act the central bank can buy foreign debt, too. But that act, put in place in the early part of the 20th century, was meant for smaller bore purchases to help the government build bridges and roads–not the massive intervention planned now. Fed historians fear the central bank is now pushing the envelope of the Federal Reserve Act. For more on the section, click here.

Now here is more to set your teeth into.. Great graphs to help understand what is going on..

Federal Reserve is Wrecking the Banking System- Looks like printing money constantly is really working!

November 17, 2023

The Fed used to be profitable and send billions of $$$ per year to the US Treasury to help pay for the budget. Because of reverse repos and interest on reserves, now the Fed pays commercial bank $700 million PER DAY to keep the system from falling apart. It will be a long time before the Fed is profitable again, if ever. Quote E.J. Antoni, Ph.D.

This isn’t some random crypto coin, meme stock, junk bond, or 3rd world country’s currency – it’s the losses at the Fed. The people with a money printer somehow managed to lose money. Billions of dollars…

Before you gray over thinking this is beyond you understaing this scheme, the Heritage Foundation does a nice piece for us average Joe and Bettys on what these graphs really mean to you an me. Why we should care. The ultimate Ponzi scheme, and it is worth the time. Keep reading

So is the Supreme Court is going to say that this gal cannot be fired?

Mary Daly’s career trajectory: drops out of High School, works at a donut shop, gets GED, goes to college, becomes enamored with leftist prof teaching Marxian economics, becomes San Fran Federal labor researcher, ingratiates herself with Janet Yellen, who keeps promoting her first openly gay Fed/ prez/CEO.  Her background is in the study of economic equality

Mary Daly, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco chief who failed to see major red flags at failed Silicon Valley Bank, was inspired by Marxian economist Gene Wagner, who she said “has mentored me my whole life” Talk about moral hazards: The lesbian activist protege of Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was more concerned with regulating culture than regulating banks. Also a BLM activist.

Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran Prez Mary Daly turned a blind eye to Silicon Valley Bank. President and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco since October 1, 2018. She serves on the Federal Reserve’s rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee on a rotating basis.

Former DC Attorney General Ed Martin Warns ‘DOJ Much Worse Than People Think’

May 15, 2025 — bunkerville

The once temporary DC US Attorney Ed Martin, who the GOP decided was too much of a danger to themselves thus was dispensed, gave a masterful interview with Tucker Carlson. Totally riveting. Former Judge Jeanine Pirro is his temporary replacement and all I can say is she has a mighty big task ahead. You will understand why the GOP had to get rid of him. Why Senator Tillis took the hit. More importantly, he gives the background to the J6 nonsense as well as the undisclosed pipe bomber story.

Zero Hedge sets it up:

Ed Martin, a senior official in the Trump administration’s Department of Justice, is warning that corruption within federal law enforcement is far more severe than the American public realizes. Martin, who holds the roles of Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney, made the comments during an interview with Tucker Carlson.

When asked by Carlson whether the DOJ is worse than people believe, Martin went further, declaring, “I think it’s worse than incompetence.” However, he urged that importance of following the facts and not getting ahead of investigations, saying, “The only way forward is not to describe what I think of the motives but to expose over and over again what’s happened. If you expose what happened and the truth gets out, then accountability is possible.”

Martin went on to praise Bongino’s efforts, noting, “He is going hammer and tongs at this stuff.” The Trump DOJ official acknowledged the complexity of pursuing accountability, saying, “You can’t arrest everybody in the first month, but you got to get this going.”

Martin then described the issues facing the DOJ as “much, much worse than people think.”

Bunk notes if you can’t sit down for all of it in one sitting, start at the beginning and go on with ” Why Would Republican Senator Thom Tillis Want to Destroy Martin?” A good start in the interview below.
