"a bit of praise, a bit of cash a bit of tongue and dumb donnie would sign off on pretty much anything." It's too bad Zelenskyy didn't offer him some prime property for Trump Tower Kiev.

You should listen to the man who authored Dodd-Frank Message 34221544 "Frank, who chaired the House Financial Services Committee in the wake of the global financial crisis and wrote sweeping new rules enacted in 2010, most recently served on the board of New York’s Signature Bank, which regulators shut down Sunday. From his front-row seat, he blames Signature’s failure on a panic that began with last year’s cryptocurrency collapse — his bank was one of few that served the industry — compounded by a run triggered by the failure of tech-focused Silicon Valley Bank late last week. Frank disputes that a bipartisan regulatory rollback signed into law by former President Donald Trump in 2018 had anything to do with it, even if it was driven by a desire to ease regulation of mid-size and regional banks like his own." ==== The problem is(as Joe Biden said this morning) the folks running these banks either don't know how or just don't care.

Biden's plan to fix all the problems with US intel...? More woke +++ US Intel Agencies Need To Focus Intensely On 'Diversity, Equity, Inclusion,' Intelligence Chief Says Monday, Mar 13, 2023 - 09:20 AM Authored by Joseph Lord via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), During a hearing of the House Intelligence Committee last week, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines expressed the need for intel agencies to focus more intensely on “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Avril Haines, head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), testifies during a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing about worldwide threats, on Capitol Hill in Washington on April 14, 2021.

Haines took the opportunity to make comments about the need for the intelligence community (IC) to hire more minorities on the basis of their race. Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.) addressed the issue of “workforce development” in questioning to Haines. Citing earlier comments from David Petraeus, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency, Carson contended that minorities were underrepresented in the IC. “What are your organizations doing to improve diversity when it comes to recruiting and retaining your workforces?” Carson asked Haines and the other panelists. “Does the IC need to devote more resources to professional development? How do you all plan on tackling those very apparent issues?” “I think there is no question that we have to do better on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility,” Haines replied promptly. Haines pointed to recent budget requests in which her organization had requested more funding to carry out “more intense efforts” to increase the presence of minorities in the IC. “I think you’ll see in our budget requests and our proposals in all of the work that we’re doing that … we see this as an area that we need to focus more intense resources and efforts,” Haines said. She specifically noted the lack of Hispanic and Latinos among the leadership of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
