'Wake up, gentlemen', world's top bankers warned by former Fed chairman

Here's part of Saturday's Chris Hayes report on organized smear tactics out of WS and banking sectors. I think certain democratic pols and strategists are wrestling with this as well (second link). Their response has not been as overt, but they seem nervous, nonetheless.

Washington, D.C., swamp is being drained as promised, look no further than the Federal Communications Commission and intrepid new Chairman Ajit Pai. For eight long years, the Obama administration circumvented our deliberative democratic process to impose laws via administrative fiat and his infamous "pen and phone." And no agency illustrated that malfeasance more than the FCC, where former Chairman Tom Wheeler in particular rammed through partisan policies and midnight regulations of dub ...

By GRETCHEN MORGENSON Published: July 16, 2010 KUDOS to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, overseer of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the crippled mortgage finance giants. While some in Washington have continued to coddle the big banks even after they drove our economy into the ditch, this agency seems serious about recovering money for taxpayers by holding bad financial actors to account. The agency announced last Monday that it had issued 64 subpoenas to a throng of unidentified financial ser ...

The official, who spoke to Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah, says that the Germans received two written warnings, one on September 19 and the other on October 1, about Amri's radical Islamic beliefs.

Just got the memo from my company with regard to parts of the country where they will not take employees - and they're either where the minimum wage has been raised (like Seattle) or states that impose other gargantuan regulations on small businesses. There will also be strict limits on how much people can work, and there will be no overtime. There have been a number of studies about the impact of mandatory increases in the minimum wage. It's impossible to summarize these studies, ...

could be facing criminal charges for unmasking the names of Trump transition team members from surveillance of foreign officials. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said earlier that he had briefed Trump on new information, unrelated to an investigation into Russian activities, that suggested that several members of Trump's transition team and perhaps Trump himself had their identities "unmasked" after their communications were intercepted by U.S. intellig ...

Separately on Tuesday, another official said that when Mr. Rahami was captured during a shootout with the police, he was carrying a notebook that contained writings sympathetic to jihadist causes....... ...

A version [1] [1] of this story was co-published with The Washington Post [2] [2]. A series of internal investigations over the past decade warned senior BP managers that the company repeatedly disregarded safety and environmental rules and risked a serious accident if it did not change its ways. The confidential inquiries, which have not previously been made public, focused on a rash of problems at BP's Alaska oil-drilling unit that undermined the company’s publicly proclaimed comm ...

The problem is much deeperand far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptomof what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should notblind anyone to the vast confedera ...

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell reacts: “Barack Obama lied to the American people – repeatedly and with a straight face – every time he insisted that those who like their current healthcare could keep it under Obamacare. And he’ll keep lying to the American people because the liberal media refuse to hold him accountable. “NBC News, whose own reporter found the language in Obamacare proving Obama knowingly lied to the people for over three years, gave this bombshell r ...

It's collapsing and those who love it can't see it happening.The Republicans are going to repeal ACA...in fact, they have already started the process BUT they are goin ...

If any liberals are looking at this, don't disregard the website because it's conservative. It's just where I got the first link to the story. The second link is at another website which appears to be atheist. The first video is an ABC station coverage and the second is a recording of the judge during the trial. Basically, an American judge has ruled that a Muslim has the right to beat up anybody who offends them. By the way, the judge is Muslim. Welcome to Sh ...

We're going to a wake tonight for a friend who died unexpectedly. He leaves behind his wife and two small children. I was thinking of writing out a check to include in the card but everything I've read lately says this is a no-no. I know his wife doesn't make much so I'd really like to help out any way I can but I don't want to offend anybody. I was wondering what others normally do with sympathy cards at a wake. Thanks. ...

(Reuters) - The world powers' interim nuclear accord with Iran coupled with U.S. President Barack Obama's call for political reform in Gulf Arab countries has rattled Washington's traditional allies in the region.

But they are also taking matt ...

Will try to make a long story short. I love my MIL. We get along great. She comes to visit every couple of months and stays for the weekend. She has had some serious drug/alcohol problems in the past (in remission for 3-4 years), but 2 years ago had an actual suicide plan. She has had several psych admissions, is heavily medicated at times, but seems fine lately, and is under psych care. Occasionally she has said about my 3-year-old, "When he is older and ...
