So three banks have failed over the weekend and 28 more have suspended trading indefinitely. Charles Schwab took a 20% hit today and the DOW dropped to 31,800.
But O'Joe assures us all is under control and taxpayer monies are not going to be used to bail out Silicone Valley Bank.

My wife seized control of the TV remote control and tuned into the Oscars. Then the friendly folks at MSN put an article about the emcee's jokes about last year's violence between The Fresh Prince and Chris Rock, which included this poll:

NEWS POLL

Do you think there should or should not be jokes made about the 2022 incident where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars?

  • There should be
  • There should not be
  • I'm not sure
  • Other / No opinion

In Pursuit of Power

Open Thread Image.jpg

Biden has expanded his powers by declaring a "National Emergency" over the Ukraine proxy war. It only took his signature. Whatta democracy! Clayton will explain his expanded powers in a clip below the fold. Meanwhile we have the US ambassador in China declaring the US as the major power in the region as we sell more weapons to Taiwan. There's also been more fall out from the "lockdown files" as it has become obvious the pandemic was used as a power grab. So we see individuals, nations, and corporations all pursuing ever more power and control.
