First Republic Bank Reportedly On Verge
Of Collapse
Posted By: Imright, 4/28/2023 7:42:14 PM
Federal regulators are preparing to seize control of San Francisco-based First Republic Bank, according to multiple reports, as the institution appears on track for a possible collapse in one of the biggest banking busts in American history. Reuters first reported Friday afternoon that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is expected to swiftly take the bank under receivership, following a stock crash. The share price for First Republic’s stock declined some 43% on Friday alone to close at $3.51 following deep selloffs earlier this week—the stock is down around 98% from its 52-week high.

Among the many media gloaters over the Fox News-Dominion defamation settlement, The New York Times seems to be gloating the loudest.
But this gloating strikes some history buffs as highly hypocritical.Can Cubans who – back in 1959 – went blue in the face warning the U.S. State Department and CIA that Castro was a closet-Soviet-asset and communist sue The New York Times for defaming them as crooks and liars?
Surely their case (the Cuban blue-in-the-faces) has been vindicated much more starkly than Dominion’s.
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (R-NY) is in a weak position to cobble together his own debt ceiling plan as moderate Senate Republicans “are very comfortable” backing the House GOP’s conditions around raising the debt ceiling.
House Republicans passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act – estimated to save nearly $5 trillion over the next decade – on Wednesday without any Democrat support. The bill marked a significant development in the debt ceiling standoff
A huge ball of fire is raging in Crimea after a suspected Ukrainian aerial drone strike hit a major fuel depot in the heart of an annexed naval port Sevastopol today.
Footage showed a fireball with huge flames and a mushroom-like black cloud from a major fire triggered by two explosions in Cossack Bay, in the Crimean Peninsula.
The blasts came at 4:20am and 4:21am local time (2.20am and 2.21am UK time), and appear to be the latest attempt by Ukraine to strike at Russia's naval firepower base in the annexed peninsula.
National Public Radio, otherwise known as NPR, has faced a lot of challenges over the last several weeks, including the backlash to their false claims about transgender “women” athletes and their strength levels, Twitter CEO Elon Musk correctly labeling their account “state-affiliated media,” and the layoffs of 100 or so staffers, which led to some pretty uncomfortable woke Zoom meetings in the aftermath.But though the struggle has indeed been real for NPR, one thing that has no doubt given them comfort through all of it is knowing they have the full backing of the Biden White House which,
Anheuser-Busch is receiving calls from the transgender community to double down publicly on their support of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
Anheuser-Busch, the company that makes Bud Light, Budweiser, Busch Light, and a variety of other beers, is being pressured to reaffirm further support of the transgender community after the company faced right-wing backlash for hiring Mulvaney as a brand ambassador last month.

The White House Correspondents' Association Dinner is asking attendees to take a same-day COVID-19 test and email the negative results after last year’s event was viewed as a superspreader.
When the dinner resumed after a two-year pandemic-related hiatus in 2022, a more stringent testing requirement was put into place, but multiple guests subsequently contracted the virus nevertheless.“Guests should conduct a home rapid test on the day of the dinner and send the results before heading over to the Hilton,” this year’s guidance reads.
An estimated 600.000 patriots demonstrated in Jerusalem in favor of the conservative government Thursday as left-wing radicals were arrested for attacking economics minister Nir Barkat in Tel Aviv.
Patriotic NGOs Im Tirtzu, Regavim and others had called for a “Million Man March” on the day after Israel’s 75th birthday to show support of the right-wing government’s attempts to clean up the Justice System, which has been highjacked by far-left activists.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich spoke at the demonstration outside the Knesset:
President Joe Biden starts his day with a workout and caps it off with a phone call to son Hunter while, sandwhiched in between, are a national security briefing, staff meetings, events, day trips and whatever else the day may bring.
The president's schedule has returned to the spotlight amid a new report claiming aides struggle to get the 80-year-old to do evening or morning events.
Biden literally carries his schedule around with him on a long white notecard, checking off items with a black pen as he moves through the day.

ABC News edited anti-vax comments made by Democratic presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. out of an interview that aired Thursday night.
Kennedy officially launched his longshot presidential bid last week from Boston, taking on Democratic President Joe Biden.
The son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy is an environmental lawyer but for more than a decade has also become one of the country's most prominent anti-vaxxers - falsely linking jabs to autism.
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and state lawmakers reached an agreement to phase out natural gas hookups in new buildings beginning in 2025, a first-of-its-kind state law designed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and transition to cleaner sources of energy.
Hochul said Thursday she reached a handshake deal with lawmakers on the agreement, which was included in New York’s fiscal 2024 budget. Though the budget stops short of an explicit ban on natural gas appliances, it will ban natural gas hookups in most new residential and commercial buildings under seven stories beginning in 2026.
By 2029, that will extend to larger industrial and commercial properties as well.
Elon Musk took to Twitter Thursday to express his opposition to “gender transition” for minors, adding that he considers the term “cisgender” to be a “slur.”
Citing a Swedish study observing “gender affirming care,” which showed that cosmetic “transition” does not reduce propensity to suicide, Musk claimed his position on the controversial procedure on minors is that “we should wait until an individual is mature enough to make their own decisions before other adults make permanent, serious physical changes to them.”

Joe Biden's ex-chief of staff has blamed Kamala Harris's poor approval ratings on 'racism and sexism'.
Ron Klain, who stepped down as the president's top aide in January, said her critics were guilty of prejudice towards the 58-year-old former senator from California.
The long-time Democratic political consultant said in an interview on Thursday that Harris 'takes a lot of grief unjustifiably.' 'I do think sexism and racism are part of the problem, no question about it,' Klain said.

Biological Men from Playing Against Women
is a ‘Crime’ 34 replies
Phoenix Mercury player Brittney Griner spoke to the media as the WNBA prepares to kick off its 2023 season, and at one point in the discussion insisted that it is a “crime” to prevent biological men who claim to be transgender women from playing against natural-born women.
Griner, who is more famous for having been arrested and imprisoned in Russia on drug charges than playing basketball, was asked about the various states that have begun moving to outlaw men playing sports as women.
This should be embarrassing, even for a seriously self-centered politician so filled with hubris and visions of grandeur that he cannot see anything except his own magnanimity. Alas, for the Narcissus Top Gov and the branding organization behind him, no scale of hubris exclaimed is excessive enough.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in Israel Thursday, doing the obligatory indulgency tour all Republican presidential candidates must undertake before they officially announce. During his pre-planned events, DeSantis took credit for moving the U.S-Israel embassy to Jerusalem.

Egypt has accused Netflix of misrepresenting history by casting a Black woman to play Cleopatra, its most famous historical figure, in a new series. “Queen Cleopatra,” which is released May 10, features Adele James in the lead role, a casting decision that the streaming giant says is “a nod to the centuries-long conversation about the ruler’s race” but which officials in Cairo have dismissed as “blatant historical fallacy.” The government statement issued Thursday marked an escalation in a feud that has sparked demands for the show's cancellation, amid a broader debate over representation in popular culture. The eight-episode docu-drama is
Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.
Carlson’s current contract runs through December 2024, and as of now three sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that executives at the network are trying to keep Carlson on contract and not release him until after the 2024 election. The shocking decision to cancel Carlson’s top-rated weeknight program came just days after the network shut down its top-rated weekend program with host Dan Bongino. What follows here is an insider account from people actually in the know

As Fox News moves leftward, CNN, the sick man of cable news, just aired a segment that would hearten any alienated FNC viewers that happened to catch it. Is this a portent of things to come?
The New York Post reports on the confrontation that must have shocked Randi Weingarten, the head of the AFT who this past week falsely claimed to a congressional committee that she had fought every day to reopen schools, when, in fact, she and her union were the major force keeping them closed. A paid CNN commentator, Scott Jennngs, delivered the truth bomb.
A troubling societal issue called "transableism" is attracting attention these days.
Transableism is a newer term for BIID, or "Body Integrity Identity Disorder," in which a person actually "identifies" as handicapped.
BIID has been relabeled to transableism to align with today's trans community, according to some. The point of "changing the identifier" from a psychiatric condition (BIID) to an advocacy term (transableism) is to "harness the stunning cultural power of gender ideology" to the cause of allowing doctors to "treat" BIID patients by "amputating healthy limbs, snipping spinal cords or destroying eyesight," according to Evolution News and Science Today

Dylan Mulvaney has already cost Bud Light what is assumed to be millions of dollars (17 percent drop in sales), but he’s not done causing chaos yet.
The transgender “influencer” entered into the broader public eye after Joe Biden invited him to the White House back in 2022. Think about that. A president who hasn’t done a challenging interview since he took office found time to receive softballs from a grown man who pretends to be a prepubescent girl.
But I digress. Mulvaney has been propped up by corporate America despite only claiming to be a “girl” for a little over a year.

While I’m not fond of “unpack” in this usage, there’s a lot to unpack in answering the headline question.
Yes, Kamala Harris is arguably the most unqualified person in history to serve as vice president. Even worse, given the reality of 80-year-old Joe Biden’s mental decline, her ill-advised selection in 2020 puts the Democrat Party in a precarious position with respect to the 2024 presidential election.
As conservative columnist Kristin Tate told Fox News Digital, “Kamala Harris is one of the most unlikable and uninspiring public figures in modern political history.” The approval rating of the Cackling Queen of Word Salads™ hasn’t surpassed 40 percent since her first year in office,
