I'm looking at retirement in the next couple of years, so I switched to mostly cash a few weeks back.

The last time we saw anything this idiotic was Smoot-Hawley. At least that was voted on by Congress, so the perpetrators could be gotten rid of in a couple years. Now that Congress has inexplicably ceded that authority to the president, we have 4 years of this idiocy.

Isn't that what a blacklist is? Now that the word is out on Dr. Liu, it'd take a pretty brave outfit, which surely seem to be in short supply these days, to engage her as a speaker now.

It's a Hollywood blacklist redux. How long before we revive HUAC?

"Are you now, or have you ever been, in opposition to the war in the Palestinian territories?"

The string "uncertain" occurs 34 times in that Fed report. If we want the government to be "ran like a business" as DJT's supporters so often say, I'd say creating uncertainty is the last thing the administration would want to create. That's just me spitballing, however.

Does that guy ever sleep?
