Biden’s “say anything” strategy in practice…

Biden

What makes news…

The wages of woke stupidity. Confused people, bad judgement, bad decisions, bad business.

As losses mounted, Silicon Valley Bank doubled down on woke investments and left-wing rhetoric

There may have been larger trends in various markets that hurt SVB, but it was bad management that caused the failure.

Who Killed Silicon Valley Bank?

“…Apparently no one at the firm perceived any risk from the Fed raising interest rates…

…Was there regulatory failure? Perhaps. SVB was regulated like a bank but looked more like a money-market fund. Then there’s this: In its proxy statement, SVB notes that besides 91% of their board being independent and 45% women, they also have ā€œ1 Black,ā€ ā€œ1 LGBTQ+ā€ and ā€œ2 Veterans.ā€ I’m not saying 12 white men would have avoided this mess, but the company may have been distracted by diversity demands.

Management screwed up interest rates, underestimated customer withdrawals, hired the wrong people, and failed to sell equity. You’re really only allowed one mistake; more proved fatal. Was management hubristic, delusional or incompetent? Sometimes there’s no difference…”

Life among Democrats – U.S. Senate edition…

Who’s Running America?

“…Last week the Senate Democrat majority was hospitalized with Senator John Fetterman dispatched to a psych ward and Senator Dianne Feinstein, who doesn’t seem to know where she is, hospitalized for shingles. Fetterman and Feinstein didn’t let being hospitalized slow them down and went right on co-sponsoring bills even though the former had to be hospitalized because he couldn’t take care of himself and the latter no longer recognized colleagues…

…The New York Times claims that Senator Fetterman ā€œruns his Senate operationā€ from a psych ward. Photos have been released of him vaguely looking at pieces of paper. No satirist could have come up with a bleaker metaphor for the country than that one of the Senate’s deciding votes has been hospitalized in a psych ward for his own safety, but is still running everything…

…The Times, in the great tradition of the three phases of a liberal scandal (1. denial, 2. minimization, 3. announcing that it’s the new normal), told its readers that ā€œin the Senate, a staff-run institution even in the best of times, that is hardly atypical. It is not unusual for lawmakers to be told by members of their staff, sometimes after the fact, what bills they are co-sponsoring.ā€…

…If Fetterman were to die tomorrow, the New York Times might inform us that apart from a legal technicality, his staff is marching on in his absence and occasionally showing up at his gravesite to briefly display a piece of upcoming legislation to his tomb. And for many people doing business with the late Senator Fetterman’s office, the senator’s existence is irrelevant.

Not only does the Senate Democrat majority consist of the D.C. staffers in two offices trying to work around the elected officials whose names are on the door, but the Senate’s proudest son is sitting in the Oval Office (when he’s not vacationing every other day in Delaware) and appears to have trouble completing sentences or remembering that his son didn’t die in Iraq.

Who’s actually running the White House? More of the same folks who are running the Senate.

Questions like these are not meant to be raised. Anyone who objects to legislation being cosponsored from a psych ward is a cruel ā€˜ableist’ bigot mocking a sick man’s disability. Asking how functional Biden is risks accusations of ā€˜ageism’ or discriminating against stutterers. Politics can be ugly and cruel, but you also can’t hide mental incapacity forever behind victimhood…”

What beauties…

How wrong-headed is Joe Biden? Watch this.

Stupid. We live in the age of stupid.

At the intersection of woke stupidity, California Democrats, and education…

West Coast, Messed Coastā„¢: The Left’s Unconstitutional Assault on Guns

“…As you are well aware, this is among the most confused and Leftist areas of the country. Confused because Washington, Oregon, and California have made themselves sanctuaries for all manner of lawbreakers by letting criminals out of jails and prisons, reducing penalties for felonies, and even redefining felonies down to misdemeanors in the name of equity. You are not allowed to smoke tobacco on Seattle’s bus system, for example, but Fentanyl smokersĀ can fire up without fear. Leftists defund the cops and then make it harder for citizens to protect themselves.

When the crime rates predictably go up, these same Leftists blame legal gun owners. As one West Coast, Messed Coastā„¢ reader wrote me, ā€œHow come they call it cartel violence when it’s south of the border, but it’s gun violence here?ā€ Better PR.

Illegal aliens, drug-addicted-tent-dwellers, abortion seekers, and underaged children who are secretly brought to their states for trans surgeries and puberty blockers, all have the protection of government… unlike legal gun owners…”
