Long-awaited Fed digital payment system to launch in July

FedNow creates "a leading-edge payments system that is resilient, adaptive, and accessible," said Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin.

This just streamlines the existing back-end. You won't see any difference as an average person, and the government already has all your information. Any transaction you can hide now, you would still be able to hide after this is done.

So this has happened:

• FBI Says Right Wing Internet Lingo Are Signs of Violent Extremism and Racism

If you follow the link and expand the image they link, you will see that the FBI are looking at "Involuntary Celebrate Violent Extremism" the words used are terms they claim to be in common usage within the community, not that they are direct indicators of extremism. Basically an FBI style-guide for "Ok, this guy is a terrorist, but what kind?". At least, that's what I get from reading the documents, not saying that they are being fair or that they are even using them as intended.

You have a group of people who are disgruntled and nothing to lose and then you insist on poking them over and over again.
Taking large groups of huliated men and then persicuting them even more is a recipie for bad things happening to you.

In all honesty this is nothing new and the explosion of inevitable violence is what they desire. The political left gets to set dozens of bombs that kill hundreds and is rewarded with lifetime do nothing jobs. The political right is 60% informant by weight and lacks both the ruthlessness and missing morals to be any good at direct political action. They get to be prodded into some glow op or another and arrested.

No the FBI really want to be able to drop off a couple of 'right-wing' terrorists in front of a trans clinc to have them shoot it up. Just like they were caught doing at the Texas draw Mohammed event.

I doubt it. This'll end in fire for Chicago. They've fully embraced Stupid, and I don't expect them to get over it.

I fully expect the Bears to leave the city soon.

How long before the Chicago Bulls, Bkackhawks follow suit?

 

[The Whispering Monk]

Depends entirely on how their contracts with the city are worded.

Another Louisiana Democrat flips to GOP in blow to party

Another Louisiana Democrat flips to GOP in blow to party

His move follows a comparable defection in North Carolina last week when Rep. Tricia Cotham joined the GOP and handed the party a veto-proof majority in that state chamber.

Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but this seemed as good a place as any.

At some point one has to wonder, is this because they have morals or are they trying to erode ours?

Jeff Van Drew (NJ) flipped and he's been pretty reliable. Vernon Jones flipped and he's been reliable. But that chick from NC who just flipped, Tricia Cotham, ran on a platform of "raising the minimum wage, protecting voting rights and bolstering LGBTQ rights". That is how the snakes get in and water down our message.

That chick from North Carolina reportedly has been banging the Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives.

White Sox and Cubs still in Chicago for the moment.

Don't suppose you have a reference for that?

I'm well aware the FBI has done shady shit (both before and nowadays), but having a source detailing it is much more "convincing" — especially when you're looking to show normies what lies behind the curtain.

I mean the Texas state police openly questioned why there was an FBI asset that got out of the car right before the draw Mohammed attack that did nothing. Nothing ever came of it of course, mostly because only terrorists died.

Literally the first article I found on it: FBI Had Undercover Agent at Scene of “Draw Muhammad” Shooting in Texas

Again: sources, please?

I vague recall the attack you’re talking about, but I don’t have time to wad through a bunch of articles (and possible FOIA disclosures) on my own right now.


Edit:

Thanks for providing a reference. I’ll look through it soon.

My dude, it's pretty widely known. I edited with the first article I found. It was the standard nothing definite but a lot of awkward questions from state police then no follow-up.

Edited my own post as soon as I saw you edit yours.

In any case, thanks for the reference.

It was pretty wild at the time, but it's seven years old now.

Probably memory-holed by now, too, if I were to guess.

The real issue in my mind on the lack of follow up is that the attack was stopped. No mass killing, no real investigation.

All right, whatever.


Let’s go back to dunking on Biden and his cabinet of chuckleheads now:

 

[Typhonis]

Didn't Brandon declare it over some time last year but his handlers retconed it?

Don’t recall the exact date, but yeah.

Maybe they’ll backtrack on this one, too, though I’ll be pleasantly surprised if they don’t.

Farmers win one against Biden:

A federal court on Wednesday ruled that the Biden administration cannot move forward with implementing aggressive regulations redefining which water sources are protected.

I forget, how many times have the courts rules for and against Biden now?

Maybe it’s because my memory’s a bit foggy, but I don’t remember them ruling against Trump as much. Or if they did, it was primarily over “other issues” (such as immigration) — as well as various extrajudicial ways in which he was stymied.
