If you go to the St. Louis Federal Reserve web site they have a nice explanation about what it is exactly that the Federal Reserve does: https://www.stlouisfed.org/in-plain-english/history-and-purpose-of-the-fed
I have to give them credit, at least they put it in English we can all understand, but there's still no missing the BS.
I quote from their web site: "Before the Federal Reserve was founded, the nation was plagued with financial crises. At times, these crises led to "panics" in which people raced to their banks to withdraw their deposits. The failure of one bank often had a domino effect, in which customers of other banks rushed to withdraw funds from their own banks even if those banks were not in danger of failing. Banks needed a source of emergency reserves to prevent the...
Politics
Thank You, Stacy Abrams.
When you think that politics has reached it's lowest level in America
the politicians find a way to prove us wrong. Joe Biden said in his campaign that a vote for him would give every working American $2000.00( which turned out not to be the exact truth). But on Sunday a news article was released that said that her " Stacy Abrams" Political Action committee was going to donate $1.4 million dollars to pay medical bills for the "Poor", affecting 63K people in Georgia. Might I remind the people of Georgia that she lost the last Gubernatorial election by about 50K votes ? If this is not Gerrymandering (IE. Vote buying) then what is? She said and I quote " I am going to take the state surplus money and distribute it to all the poor people in Georgia...

OPEN LETTER TO THE EDITOR OF ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE
September 5, 2022
Using my Labor Day Effectively – by Susan O’Rourke
This letter is in response to an article written by your columnist, Tim Dickinson, dated September 1, 2022 regarding Christians being involved in politics in the United States of America.
Mr. Dickinson shows his disdain for what he terms “Christian Nationalists” – a notorious tactic of the left of labeling people. Our definition, of what appears to be a derogatory term against patriotic Christians, is that a Christian should stand up against the evil that is perpetrated by the government upon all people, no matter their faith. We do so through prayer. A patriot who is a Christian believes Almighty God has authority over any nation and, ultimately, His will...

After listening to your "Saving The Nations's Soul" speech last night I was sickened to admit we now have a bully dictator as a president who wants to persecute anyone and everyone who disagrees with you. Your self-serving policies designed to buy or steal votes for upcoming elections. (ie. student loan "forgiveness" is your most recent example of buying votes). IMO, I would call this "Veiled Bribery". This is an insult to every hard-working family who saved for years to put their kid through college since you now make them pay your bribe so complete strangers will vote for you! Why didn't you make the universities with multi-million dollar endowments cancel the loans and take a tax deduction?
But getting back to your loud speech... The truth is that if you gave that same speech...

Dear Fellow Citizens,
Many moons ago I worked one year for the IRS here in Florida when Democrats used to wear the white hats and we all cursed the criminal war-mongering empire of George Bush and Dick Cheney. Some things have changed but not the IRS which has for at least for 5 decades, has been used as a political weapon to specifically target outspoken dissidents, political opponents, protest organizers, and off course whistle-blowers and witnesses of government crimes. This massive corruption persuaded me to work elsewhere or sooner or later, I would be compelled to participate in it.
To be clear, a signature of a single IRS CID, Audit, or Collections agent can and will cause the following to happen within 48 hours;
* Freeze or seize all your personal and business bank...

Notre nation est plus ancienne que celle de tous nos envahisseurs. Nous les avons tous combattu et chassé, un par un, pour reprendre notre étendard et poursuivre la construction de notre nation. Hélas! Notre dernier colonisateur a été le plus dévastateur ; il a tout fait pour effacer la mémoire de notre peuple en l'arrachant à ses racines, en brulant et en dérobant son histoire, en attaquant ses croyances et en détruisant sa culture. Il ne s'est pas contenté que de cela, mais il a empoisonné une nation avec son venin colonial, il a réduit un peuple instruit en le transformant en un sous homme et le classer en indigène durant l’occupation.
Après de longues et dures années de combats sans répit et un grand tribut de martyres, de veuves et d’orphelins, notre vaillant et vigoureux peuple a...

The Honorable Philip D. Murphy
Governor of New Jersey
State House
PO Box 001
Trenton, New Jersey 08625 Re: Abortion Law
Dear Governor Murphy:
When I was a little girl, I loved Bible class and I remember being delightfully captivated when first learning of the story surrounding the birth of Our Savior, Jesus, on Christmas Day and the journey that Mary and Joseph made when there was no room at the inn. Poor and homeless (as some mothers-to-be are today) our Blessed Mother lovingly accepted poverty and placed the infant Jesus, our God and Redeemer, in a manger in a stable in Bethlehem. That same excitement and joy of Jesus’ birth that I...

It might be worthwhile to consider from whom this opinion comes. I find it easier and more comfortable to describe what I am not. I am not a woman, not a lawyer, not a republican, not a democrat, not religious, not poor, not a member of a protected class, and not someone under the age of 70.
I was surprised with the court decision but as a believer in the strength of our governmental experiment I thought it important to read the decision including importantly, the dissents. I admit to not having yet completed the reading and investigation it requires.
The decision and its dissents are to some degree both correct. The reconciliation of those seeming opposing viewpoints should and can be reconciled.
Rather than protesting the result, I would recommend a more sweeping and...

To the Paychex Executive Team:
Today is a very scary day for many of your employees. There has been a never-ending assault on minority rights, and today that assault took a drastic escalation. We ask that you take a public stance on these matters, to prove true to the company values of integrity, to take a stand for the respect and dignity of all your employees, and work in partnership with us to be accountable for our actions (or lack thereof) and work to improve not only the lives of your employees, but the lives of many other minorities that desperately need support in these dire times.
Signed,
Katė Tiana Wootel (The Spectral Kittie Collective)
