Nancy Pelosi is a badass MF and I want her to be Speaker
I see no benefit in the Speaker of the House visiting Taiwan other than the signals intelligence we gather from the Chinese response. It is an escalation of the Pivot begun by Obama and carried forward by Trump. Human error in this setting could be catastrophic. The cost-benefit analysis does not support this visit.

What is an “Elite”?
Elites Theory of Democracy (tldr - cannot trust the voting majority to do the right thing)). https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/democracy/#ElitTheoDemo Neoliberalism provides another approach to the “problem” of the majority making “bad” voting decisions (tldr: corporations should make decisions traditionally left to government (privatization). https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/democracy/#ElitTheoDemo

Very well done. The cinematography is outstanding. The original soundtrack music (Mogwai) fits perfectly. One episode left.

IG Cuffari needs to go - now - and the AG must investigate his actions. This is not his first transgression: https://www.pogo.org/letter/2022/04/pogo-calls-on-president-biden-to-remove-dhs-ig-joseph-cuffari- January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance
The Five Eyes arrangement has been around since 1943. It's a well-known secret. As for the data, Snowden revealed there are efficient search tools for immediate decision-making situations (think: ticking clock scenarios). Hell - these are official actions.by public servants. There is no expectation of privacy. The messages should have been saved. This is just a redundant tool to recover them. No need to disclose the source of the backed-up files. Get them to the DOJ and Congressional Oversight Committees. Problem solved.- January 6th Committee Hearings Thread of Dominance

Investigating an attempted coup certainly appears to be a proper reason to use the data passively collected by our intelligence community. There was (and is) a clear and present danger.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
PCE came in hot. No basis for Fed to begin dovish pivot with PCE data. UMich is next data point ahead.- CPAC 2019
CPAC hosting Nazis. Color me surprised. Orban, Stephen Miller and Majorie Taylor Greene are scheduled to speak. A regular who’s who of white nationalism.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
When interest rate hikes rise to the level that make mortgages unaffordable, people will need apartments.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Damn nihilist.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

Recession is determined by the NBER. The NBER defines “recession” as: GDP “estimates” are often revised: NBER will make final determination after GDP numbers are finalized. More importantly, the economy of the US (and the world) is slowing. The Fed is intentionally slowing the US and world economy to fight inflation (via rate hikes and reducing its balance sheet). The Fed is willing to risk recession in order to defeat inflation. Everything else is politics - and not a proper topic for the 6th Street Journal. Take it to the Cloak Room.- Markets still falling like whoa
Market counting on a Fed Pivot. I don’t see it.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Recession is inevitable unless the Fed pivots. I don’t believe the Fed can pivot with its objective of 2% inflation. The tools to defeat cost-push inflation unfortunately disproportionately hit Main Street with fierce pain.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Fed pivot from restrictive rate hikes will not occur until 6% unemployment rate if history is any guide.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
World recession + strong USD = Bullet with butterfly wings- Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress? Oh you mean Marjorie!
