Transsexual harassment.

'I wanna wee wee in your washroom cuz I feel like a woman.'

Btw, how come there aren't any girls who feel male who wanna use the boys' washroom?

Using this logic, trans-boys-who-feel-like-girls should also share the girls locker room and shower with the girls too, right?

JP Morgan Chase runs the infrastructure behind the food stamp program. So of course the Feds, whose chief exec is the Best Food Stamp President Ever, weren't going to tread hard on them.

Bankers from the last century? Cool - so where are the guys with yarmulkes?

Even if you accept that it's ok to engage in this sort of racism, it's one thing for them to depict traditional bankers as what they were - white men, mostly. It's quite another for them to fail to depict the diversity within that crowd. The evil "traditional bankers" they depict are all WASPs.

Looking at WaMu CEO Kerry Killinger's campaign contributions at Opensecrets.org (3 pages worth), you get the portrait of a spineless, corrupt CEO with no ideology but greed - he gave to Democrats, he gave to Republicans, and he gave oodles and oodles to WaMu's PAC, which did likewise.

For the most part. The guy reading the WSJ at :28 looks Jewish, but not stereotypically so.

Just think. If it had worked and all those illegal immigrants, etc., had become model American middle-class citizens, just by endowing them with mortgages, it would have meant that America really could rule the world by promising to bring universal prosperity!

Indeed, it would probably mean America ruling the world was a moral imperative. All it would take is money. Given the secret of turning the downtrodden into prosperous yuppies, who can deny that it would be evil to keep American from bringing America and the American system to everyone the world over?

And think of all the new taxpayers and customers! ROI!

Freedom for aggression, indeed.

Great reporting. This is too true to be other than heresy. The whole stinking mess is rotten to the core. But, the rest of the world is even worse so I suspect it could go on for some time.

Alan Geenspan still insists that the recession had nothing to do with the housing bubble. But he's learning. The Wall Street Journal has an article, "Alan Greenspan: What Went Wrong", Alexandra Wolfe, Oct. 18, 2013:

"I've always considered myself more of a mathematician than a psychologist," says Mr. Greenspan. But after the Fed's model failed to predict the financial crisis, he realized that there is more to forecasting than numbers. "It all fell apart, in the sense that not a single major forecaster of note or institution caught it," he says. "The Federal Reserve has got the most elaborate econometric model, which incorporates all the newfangled models of how the world works—and it missed it completely." He says JP Morgan had put out a forecast three days before the crisis saying the economy was on the rise. And as late as 2007, the International Monetary Fund also said that global risk was declining. ...

...

... Studying the results of herd behavior provided him with some surprises. "I was actually flabbergasted," he says. "It upended my view of how the world works."

...today he realizes the full impact of emotions and instincts on markets."



Well, that's just great. Now he learns about it! Where do we get these guys, again? And why do we give them so much power? And weren't chumps like him "taken to the bank" by those who did understand how the world works but needed "cover"?

Steve, sorry to follow-on on an off-topic comment, but since you allowed it ...

Using this logic, trans-boys-who-feel-like-girls should also share the girls locker room and shower with the girls too, right?

Of course, there is a campaign going on whose aim is to have the hoi polloi convinced that if a boy/man feels he is girl, the he is a girl/woman, and woe to the non-believer.

If you doubt they won't manage to convert the majority, you're seriously mistaken.

The next step, say in a couple of years, will persuade us that if a 20, 40, or 60 something feels like a teenager at heart, who are we to prevent sex between 2 teenagers, one 14, the other 54.

You said back in the V-Dare 2009 article you link to that banks like to use architects to puff their physical appearances up.

Totally true.

I learned this at a fairly young age. For about a year and a half, my mother dated an engineer who worked for St. Louis-based Bank Building Corporation (officially "Bank Building and Equipment Corporation of America"). That was one of the several things about his job that he taught me. He and my mother broke up not long after the business filed for bankruptcy in '90.

This is amazingly insightful and clearly there result of years of clear thinking about this issue. It reminds me of an Agatha Christie detective gathering everyone in one room at the end and explaining how the crime was committed.
You even explain how you were on the wrong track and then suddenly looked at the other side of the coin and it all came together.

Imperial County. This is the 1968 results on the election and many liberals or leftist have complain that the OC is very racists in fact going back to 1968 it voted less for Wallace than did Imperial County. Imperial County had a lot more Mexicans compared to Orange in 1968 since it was farm area. However, today its majority Mexican about 80 percent, so probably the results would be different. Liberals have overemphasized racist and the least racists counties in 1968 where the Bay Area and La since they voted only over 5 percent for Wallace. Today La is know for hate crime more than its neighbors because of Mexicans and Blacks hitting on each other.

The whole point of redlining was not lending to people with bad credit scores and these areas were easily identifiable. The whole point of CRA was missed by Shelia Blair.

1. There was a huge amount of bank consolidation in the 1990's to the early 2000's, so 29 acquisitions isn't all that unusual (there used to be lots of vary small banks with 8 or ten branches and that's it).

2. The lowering of lending standards was not a result of government policy, the CRA had been around for years: it was the result of culture change not policy change.

CRA helped lead to the acceptance of lower lending standards for home buyers, which ultimately became industrywide. It was not the direct cause of the bubble - most subprime loans were issued by mortgage lenders unaffected by it - but without it, there would have been no housing bubble.

Was redlining just about bad credit scores, or was it about not lending in areas where property values were destined to slump, undermining the bank's collateral?

Except that Clinton's lesbian Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said that she was going to use the law to force banks to make bad loans because that is a function of government.

Or maybe it just took awhile for "community organizers" (otherwise known as "extortionists") to figure out how to use CRA to their advantage. RICO existed for more than a decade before the government figured out that it could use it against anti-abortion protesters.
