Col. Macgregor: Ukraine is CRUMBLING Under Putin’s Military Offensive  [34:27]     Stephen Gardner

Mar 19, 2023 – Colonel Douglas Macgregor sits down with Stephen Gardner for update on the Ukraine-Russia war. Is the war in Ukraine about to hit a turning point because I am starting to see groups like the Washington post and the New York Times finally tell the truth about the strength and condition of Ukraine’s army and the number of casualties they have suffered? Why do you say that Bakhmut has been like a meat grinder? And is it time for Ukraine to fall back, regroup, give themselves a couple days to build up ammunition, and then dig in and try and hold the line again? Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says it’s time for the United States to get serious and show Russia who is the boss. He said the US military should start shooting down Russian war planes over international water. Is this a smart move and was following Senator Graham‘s advice policy into war with Russia? Lloyd Austin says Russia is preparing for massive attacks in the spring when the mud dries out and that the United States and NATO need to rush weapons to Ukraine so that they can keep beating back Putin the Russian army. What are your thoughts on his comments?

Biden’s Bailout of SVB Saved China, Gavin Newsome, Buzzfeed, VOX and BLM   By Joe Hoft

Mar. 19, 2023 10:30 am – The Biden gang has announced that they aren’t going to bail out every bank like they did with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), only the banks they like.

STUNNING: Janet Yellen Admits Smaller Regional Midwest Banks Will Not Be Bailed Out – Only Big Banks Deemed Worthy by Biden Regime (VIDEO)

Last week the Biden gang bailed out SVB.  We reported on the connections between SVB and China’s venture capital business.  SVB was the bridge for Chinese venture capitalists to get to US dollars.

When Biden bailed out SVB depositors in full, he bailed out China’s venture capitalists.  Some of these entities backed China’s aerospace and defense ventures.

Note that Biden didn’t bail out the shareholders of SVB, only the depositors in full, who before the bank’s collapse, the 2nd largest bank in US history to fail, were only guaranteed up to $250,000.  Biden bailed out billions in account balances above this FDIC-insured amount.

Biden didn’t only bail out the Chinese venture capital sector he also bailed out numerous far-left causes that had large deposits in SVB.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, Biden bailed out the following:

Gavin Newsom

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D.) trio of wineries are clients of the failed financial institution, as is the governor himself. He has maintained personal accounts at the failed bank for years, the Intercept reported, citing a former Newsom aide. Newsom’s efforts to rescue Silicon Valley Bank’s clients could also put him on the wrong side of the law. California law prohibits elected officials from influencing official matters in which “the official has a financial interest,” Insider reported

BuzzFeed

Liberal online media company BuzzFeed revealed to investors Monday that it held $56 million in cash and cash equivalents as of the end of 2022, the majority of which was held at Silicon Valley Bank. The news capped off a not-so-banner 2022 fiscal year for BuzzFeed, in which the company weathered a net loss of $201.3 million, laid off 40 percent of its newsroom, and saw its stock price plummet by 90 percent…

Vox Media

Vox Media, the parent company of dozens of liberal news companies including VoxNew York magazine, the Verge, and Polygon, disclosed in news stories that it banked with Silicon Valley Bank before its collapse.

Unlike BuzzFeed, Vox has disclosed its financial connection to the failed bank in news stories this week. That hasn’t stopped the outlet, however, from carrying water for the Biden administration. On Tuesday, for example, it published a story mocking concerns that Silicon Valley Bank’s fixation on woke initiatives may have contributed to its demise…

Black Lives Matter

While Black Lives Matter isn’t a known client of Silicon Valley Bank, the bank’s untimely failure marks the end of a significant gravy train for the movement.

Silicon Valley Bank and its employees contributed more than $73 million to the Black Lives Matter movement and related causes since 2020, according to a database maintained by the Claremont Institute.

And there you have it.  And that is that.  Just more massive corruption from the always corrupt Democrats socialists.

 

Democrat Party’s Expected Arrest of Donald Trump: This Is What Communists Do When They Know They Own Elections   By Joe Hoft

Mar. 19, 2023 12:00 pm – When reporters, journalists, or your friends suggest that the Democrat Party is acting like a Communist party, it’s because THEY ARE acting like third world Communists.

This Twitter thread by Senator JD Vance says it all.

The thread starts off with the WaPo’s Josh Dawsey pushing another hit piece on President Trump, trying to explain how it now makes sense to make a misdemeanor a felony that occurred six years ago as long as it takes down President Trump.

Ohio Senator J.D. Vance responded to Dawsey’s tweet noting that Bragg’s case is garbage and that the this same District Attorney is allowing criminals to run free in New York City.  He rightly claims that these actions taken by Democrat public officials are third-world tactics.

Then Vance opines that this will cause President Trump to win in a landslide in 2024.

But why does this not scare Democrats or prevent them from acting like communist tyrants?

The reason is that the Democrats know that they are going to win the next election.  They don’t know who will win, they don’t yet know the name of the Democrat winner, they just know they will win.  [Emphasis added]

Communist leader Lenin stole elections in Russia and then after multiple elections, the election process was over.  That is what communists do.

 

Oversight Chair James Comer: Very Odd that Trump Indictment Announced Day After Biden Bank Records Released – We Have 11 More Deals to Release  (VIDEO)   By Jim Hoft

Mar. 19, 2023 10:45 am – House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) joined Maria Bartiromo this morning on Sunday Morning Futures.

Rep. Comer was asked about DA Alvin Bragg’s announcement on Friday that Presient Trump will be arrested on bogus obstruction charges involving a deal signed by stripper Stormy Daniels. The case has already been thrown out of court and Stormy was ordered to pay President Trump $300,000 for filing the junk lawfare case against Mr. Trump.

Comer said he thought it was odd that this took place THE DAY AFTER Congress released proof that the Biden family was paid millions by the China regime in secret deals not reported by the criminal family.

Comer also announced the Oversight Committee has bank records on 11 more illicit Biden family business deals.

Rep. James Comer: Well, it’s very odd that this would come out just the very next day after I revealed bank records which showed that the Biden family, the President in particular, hasn’t been truthful with respect to his family receiving payments directly from the Chinese Communist Party. So it almost looks like it’s an effort to detract, but at the very least, it’s another example of a two-tier system of justice. Look, we’ve been looking into these classified documents. We saw the FBI rated Mar-a-Largo for one set of supposedly mishandled classified documents, but yet Joe Biden had at least five different locations of mishandled classified documents, and they give him days and days to go in and clean up with his attorney. So this looks to me like it’s another example of a two-tier system of justice at the DOJ.

Comer announces more evidence against the Biden Crime Family.

Rep. James Comer: There are many more. Maria, this is one deal. We think there are as many as eleven more deals. Now, we don’t know what those deals were for… In the beginning, the White House denied having any knowledge, or the fact that their family was involved in any sort of way, shape, or form with the CCP. But now we have bank records that reveal otherwise. We don’t know what the Bidens did in return for this money. The lawyer said that it was “seed capital for a business.” We haven’t been able to find a business, Maria.

What an interview!

It all makes sense now. Joe Biden is caught red-handed making illicit and illegal deals with the Communist Chinese – so the Democrats announced the arrest of Donald Trump to change the subject. And their accomplices in the fake news media are more than happy to carry their water.

McCarthy orders House probe into whether federal funds used in ‘politically motivated prosecutions’

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s move follows Trump announcement on his Truth Social platform Saturday that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced on Saturday that he is going to direct House committees to investigate whether federal funds are being used for “politically motivated prosecutions” based on the recent reports of a possible indictment of former President Donald Trump.

“Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump,” McCarthy wrote on Twitter.

A grand jury in Manhattan, New York has been soliciting testimony from witnesses, including disgraced former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, who alleges he arranged payments in 2016 to two women to silence them about sexual encounters they claimed to have had with Trump a decade earlier.

“I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions,” McCarthy wrote.

 

‘Very close to winning’: Bolton says Iranian freedom protesters set to ‘bring the ayatollahs down’

Former National Security Advisor spoke at bipartisan Senate event in support of struggle against Iran’s ruling theocracy, as Amnesty International released a new report detailing regime’s violent treatment of child detainees.

Opposition protesters in Iran are “very close to winning,” former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton said Thursday at a Senate briefing in solidarity with the struggle against Iran’s ruling theocracy, as Amnesty International released a new report detailing the regime’s violent treatment of child detainees.

“Marking six months of the unprecedented popular uprising in Iran, sparked by the death in custody of Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, Amnesty International reveals the violence meted out to children arrested during and in the aftermath of protests,” the human rights nonprofit announced in a press release. “The research exposes the torture methods that the Revolutionary Guards, the paramilitary Basij, the Public Security Police and other security and intelligence forces used against boys and girls in custody to punish and humiliate them and to extract forced ‘confessions.'”

 

Manhattan DA’s Trump case rests on shaky legal, ethical ground, experts say

Ordinarily, such a charge would be considered a misdemeanor and come with a two-year statue of limitation.

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday shocked the world with an announcement that he expects to be arrested Tuesday in connection with an ongoing investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a case legal scholars have suggested has a questionable legal basis.

The investigation involves Trump’s 2016 alleged payment of $130,000 in hush money to Stormy Daniels via his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, whom he later reimbursed.

While Bragg has not announced specific charges, legal scholars such as George Washington University Professor Jonathan Turley are predicting an indictment for falsifying business records under New York Section 175. Such a charge would likely be based on Trump’s labeling his reimbursement of Cohen as a legal expense.

Trump’s attorney, Joe Tacopina has argued that Trump’s payment to Cohen was in fact a legitimate legal fee. Trump, he noted, never directly paid Daniels any money. Rather, he only paid his own lawyer for services rendered, i.e. legal fees.

 

The Federal Reserve Announces First Big Step Towards a Digital Dollar   By Kyle Becker

March 17, 2023The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States has announced that it is launching an instant payment transfer service called “FedNow Service,” which has features of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and some analysts believe is the first big step towards a “digital dollar.”

On Wednesday, within hours of our reporting that the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failures could spur renewed calls for the U.S. to implement a CBDC, the Federal Reserve announced that the U.S. is rolling out the FedNow instant payment transfer service in July.

“The Federal Reserve announced that the FedNow Service will start operating in July and provided details on preparations for launch,” the announcement read.

[Ed.:  The Federal Reserve neither ‘Federal’, nor has it any ‘Reserves’…  It’s a gang of thugs!]

 

Fed Announces Launch Of ‘FedNow’ Real-Time Payment System, Sparking Debate     by Tom Ozimek

FRIDAY, MAR 17, 2023 – 07:20 AM – The Federal Reserve has announced a timeline for the launch of its long-awaited FedNow payment service that will let banks offer customers instantly available funds and execute real-time payments, with critics flagging concerns like lack of cross-border payment processing and raising questions about surveillance.

The Fed announced on Wednesday that it will begin formal certification of participants in the FedNow system in April in anticipation of a July launch.

First announced in 2019, FedNow will allow banks to instantly transfer payments across the financial system.

“With the launch drawing near, we urge financial institutions and their industry partners to move full steam ahead with preparations to join the FedNow Service,” Ken Montgomery, first vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and FedNow program executive, said in a statement.

As banks and other financial institutions join the program, this will create a growing network with clearing and settlement features that lets businesses and individuals send and receive instant payments at any time of day.

Recipients using the system will have full access to funds immediately, making it easier to make time-sensitive payments.

Some analysts have said that FedNow could reduce demand for payday loans because customers who use the system would receive their pay immediately, without having to wait for checks to clear.

“The launch reflects an important milestone in the journey to help financial institutions serve customer needs for instant payments to better support nearly every aspect of our economy,” Tom Barkin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the FedNow Program’s executive sponsor, said in a statement.

The system will have the capacity to support various types of transactions: consumer-to-consumer, consumer-to-merchant, merchant-to-merchant, and bank-to-bank.

Fed governor Michelle Bowman said last year that FedNow could offer some of the same benefits as a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and thus weakening the case for the adoption of a CBDC, which is, anyway, years away in the United States.

During congressional testimony in early March, Fed chair Jerome Powell was asked by a lawmaker whether there’s an advantage to the FedNow payment system over a CBDC or stablecoins that also tout faster payment services.

“A CBDC is going to be years in evaluation,” Powell replied.

“And I think we can get this into the hands of the public very quickly, and we’ll have real-time payments in this country very very soon.”

 

“I’m Telling You, He Did It”: Seymour Hersh Blames Biden For Nord Stream Attack   by Paul Joseph Watson 

FRIDAY, MAR 17, 2023 – 02:11 PM – Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh told the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that Joe Biden made the decision to blow up Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines because he saw being a war president as giving him a better chance at re-election.

Last month, Hersh published a report asserting that the pipelines were destroyed by the US as part of a covert operation.

According to Hersh’s sources, the explosives were planted in June 2022 by US Navy divers under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise and were detonated three months later with a remote signal sent by a sonar buoy.

One source told Hersh that the plotters knew the covert operation was an “act of war,” with some in the CIA and State Department warning, “Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.”

Last week, the New York Times reported that a “pro-Ukrainian group” had sabotaged the pipelines, using a team with as few as six people involved in the mission, contradicting previous assumptions that only a state would have had the resources to carry out the operation.

According to Hersh, referring to Biden, “He did it. He did it, I’m telling you, he did it,” adding, “The Biden game is to wait it out and never say yes.”

The journalist claimed that Biden wanted to escalate the conflict in order to position himself as a war president.

Numerous leaks have reported Trump will be charged next week in New York City in the Stormy Daniels case where he has been accused of paying Daniels as part of a confidential settlement before the 2016 election to buy her silence over her unfounded accusation of an affair.

Trump posted a two-part Truth:

Soros-Funded New York City DA Alvin Bragg Meets with NYC Law Enforcement to Discuss Logistics for Arresting President Trump on Junk Stormy Daniels Charges   By Jim Hoft

Mar. 18, 2023 8:00 am – Corrupt New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg received $1 million from Soros in his election for NYC DA.

As a result, New York City saw a rise in crime from 2021 to 2022.  The overall index crime in New York City increased in September 2022, by 15.2% compared with September 2021.

But crime can wait, DA Alvin Bragg has bigger fish to fry.  The corrupt Soros-funded DA is going after President Donald Trump.  And he is using Stormy Daniels as his means to get the former president.

Almost one year ago this month the 9th Circuit Court issued a final ruling in the case brought against Trump by disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti and Stormy.  Daniels was ordered to pay President Trump $300,000 in legal fees.

But suddenly Bragg has somehow rinsed off this case and he is going after President Trump again using the washed-up stripper.

FOX News reported on Friday that final preparations are being made to arrest Donald Trump next week.  The persecution of Donald Trump never ends.

 

Economic Study: 186 US Banks Are in Trouble and at Risk of Insolvency – May Collapse Like Silicon Valley Bank    By Jim Hoft

Mar. 18, 2023 10:45 am – From the Wall Street Journal – Economists are now estimating that 186 US banks may be prone to the same risks as Silicon Valley Bank. This number is likely higher as the pressures that regional banks are facing are ramping up.

This number comes from a recent economic study published on March 13.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told the US Senato on Thursday that not all uninsured deposits would be protected in future bank failures, ONLY those banks that pose systemic risks. Regional banks will get screwed.

The Biden regime is picking winners and users and it will be the Biden regime that forces a run on the banks.

Steve Bannon read part of the report on Friday’s War Room show on Frank Speech.
