ROTFLMBO At the superior intellect of our red commies

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/bank-america-totaled-1-2-billion-penalties-settlements-2022 Bank of America totaled $1.2 billion in penalties, settlements in 2022 One major amount was the $354M that was part of a settlement to bond insurer Ambac Financial Group Bank of America totaled $1.2 billion in expenses for litigation and regulatory investigations in 2022. The total includes fines and settlements, according to a company filing. The cost was a big jump from $164 million recorded in 2021 and $823 million in 2020. Lawyer fees were not included. Among the major issues the company dealt with was the $354 million that was part of a settlement to bond insurer Ambac Financial Group for a lawsuit going back to the 2008 mortgage crisis. BofA also paid $225 million in penalties to regulators over employees' use of unauthorized messaging platforms, including WhatsApp. The bank was also fined $225 million over the mishandling of jobless benefits during the pandemic. The three cases totaled $800 million in combined expenses last year. . BofA did not specify what accounted for the remaining $400 million. FOX Business reached out to the company for comment

Yep, @caddieman and Shabby Wabby orange man so bad. I'm laughing at your superior intellect.

For example watch these Nothing to get concerned about here. Probably fake news or another conspiracy theory. Or maybe China is ready to take advantage of a weak President. IMG_9416.MOV

I wasn't going to comment here but I feel compelled to. Joe Biden is NOT nor has he EVER been running America. Biden is the side show designed to pull the wool over your eyes to prevent you from seeing the truth. That you are a slave. Obama is running this country and intentionally trying to destroy it. And it's working simply because no one wants to admit that we've been overrun by the most EVIL of people.

Absolutely, I don't think that video was ever meant to see the light of day. And sadly so few will ever know it exists or what is coming. Like @Pitcher I do a lot more reading now than posting. And I think I've found the 'catalyst' that will cause the FRIDAY closures of the banking system. We've all watched in fear as the current leadership of our country has been instigating world War 3 with no regard whatsoever for the consequences. Just today our government has again threatened China 🇨🇳 with severe consequences if they sell weapons to Russia 🇷🇺 I believe that on a Wednesday or Thursday China 🇨🇳 or Russia 🇷🇺 will retaliate against America 🇺🇸 in some fashion other than sanctions. And while the entire world is focused on what happened behind the scenes on Friday the banking system will close everything. While it may make the news it won't be the headline. Claiming that the attacks by China 🇨🇳 and/or Russia have caused severe damage to the Financial system. Paving the way for bailins. Now take that hypothesis and watch the video again, it's almost verbatim what they are saying.

IF YOU DON'T WATCH THIS TO THE END, YOU WILL BE SCREWED!!!!!!

TRUTH IS THE SOURCE OF GREAT HUMOR

The question everyone should be asking here is what the heck is happening in Austin that so many people are risking their lives and fighting over spoiled food? We've really have become a third world nation. Chaos in Austin amid power outages as residents seen dumpster diving at H-E-B grocery store Posts on social media led people to believe that spoiled goods tossed into dumpsters outside Austin H-E-B grocery store was 'free food' Hundreds of people were seen dumpster diving and fighting over "free food" that was discarded by an H-E-B store after a power outage on Thursday. An official in Travis County, Texas, is warning the public not to eat the food retrieved from dumpsters outside the store, which was spoiled and unsafe for consumption. Witnesses said grocery store employees were seen tossing meat and other perishable foods after a power outage at the store caused them to start to go bad, Fox 7 Austin reported. Spoiled food discarded from the H-E-B Grocery store on I-35 and William Cannon in Austin, Texas. (Travis County Precinct 4 Constable / Fox News) Deputies with the Travis County Precinct 4 Constable's Office and Austin Police Department worked to clear the area after more than 250 people were fooled into believing that spoiled food thrown away in dumpsters was "free." (Travis County Precinct 4 Constable.) But someone posted on social media that there was "free food" at the store. Soon after, more than 250 people showed up and began fighting over rotting trash, according to Travis County Precinct 4 Constable George Morales. "This is not free food!" Morales warned on Facebook. "The food is rotten and spoiled, and is unsafe to eat." Morales said that deputies with Precinct 4 and the Austin Police Department responded to roads that were gridlocked because of the misinformation on social media. Police worked to clear the area. "If you know someone that got food, let them know it is not safe," Morales said. The Mayor of Austin apologized Friday after widespread power outages stretched into a third day following a deadly winter storm that has sent city officials scrambling and unable to say when the power will be back on. "The city let its citizens down. The situation is unacceptable to the community, and it’s unacceptable to me," said Mayor Kirk Watson, a Democrat who took office in January. "And I’m sorry."

It's already started

God help us if this thing has an EMP. Of course our resident liberals would be happy to see America thrown back into the stone ages, go ahead Shabbs neg away.

These types of events will escalate rapidly and it will end in disaster. New Jersey Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour shot dead outside home in 'despicable criminal act' Sayreville Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour found dead inside vehicle outside apartment with multiple gunshot wounds A local councilwoman in New Jersey was killed during a shooting outside her home Wednesday evening, according to officials. Sayreville Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour, a Republican, was 30 years old and described by Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick as "dedicated member of our Borough Council who was truly committed to serve all of our residents." A 911 call reported shots fired around 7:22 p.m, the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office said. A female, identified by New Jersey Globe reporter David Wildstein as Dwumfour, was found dead in her vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds. "This is an active and ongoing investigation anyone with information or surveillance footage of the area is asked to call Detective Rebecca Morales of the Sayreville Police Department at 732-727-4444 or Detective Michelle Coppola of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office 732-745-3477," the prosecutor's office said. Kilpatrick called the shooting a "despicable criminal act." A Facebook account for Detective Juan Rodriguez and Pastor Doctor Nelia Rodriguez also reported that Dwumfour was killed. "We are so heartbroken to announce that our friend, Councilwoman from Sayreville, part of our HRC (Human Relation Commission), our personal friend, a woman of God Eunice Dwumfour was [murdered] tonight in Sayreville," the couple wrote. They added, "She was an amazing friend, a woman who loved God. We were just at our HRC meeting January 5th 2023 and I just saw her this morning at the store. I remember saying to her I see you at the HRC meeting tomorrow, not knowing tonight was going to be the end of her life. I can't stop crying. She was 30 years young and full of life."

I've been watching the Silver and Gold ratio for several years now. When I first saw it Silver was at $4500 to 1 and Gold was at $35,000 to one. A few months ago I noticed that both ratios began falling. Then today I see this. Does anyone have an idea what is going on? source U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK

My first thought exactly. Everytime I hear of a complete lockdown I just shake my head. For Starters, after the events of the last two and a half yrs I would not say is nothing is impossile. Nevertheless, the logistics of such an attempt would become a total dissaster for the poor souls ordered to implement it. America is a nation with over 4 million privately owned firearms and filled with more that 250 million citizens that have been pushed to the very brink of hysterya by the morons running the show. I personally would not wish to see such an attempt as it would turn this country into a bloodbath to rival the civil war. As a Marine, I know a thing or two about this. At any one time there are less that 5 million men and women in all the branches of the armed forces. And what you are suggesting is that They will not only have the ability to forcably lock down and nation of more that 330 million but that they would all be willing to attempt it. And I GUARENTEE you that will NOT be the case. Not only the lives of people fighting for food and heating fuel but the souls of the men and women who would attempt to enforce such a thing. Even if Brandon called in support from his Chinese friends to help the results would be the same, a bloodbath in the streets.

Saddly, I agree with CL. Unless the military balls up and honor their oath, nothing will come of this.

January 26, 2023 3:32pm EST GDP report reveals ominous Great Depression warning sign not seen since 1932 Thursday's GDP report shows that real disposable income has fallen off a cliff By E.J. Antoni FOXBusiness The latest numbers from the Bureau of Economic Analysis show that the U.S. economy grew by 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, and 2.1 percent for 2022. While the White House was quick to take credit for the state of the nation’s economy, they might want to think twice. This latest report should have alarm bells ringing, not trumpets sounding. That’s because economic growth is slowing down. Even the areas which contributed positively to gross domestic product (GDP) are not necessarily signs of prosperity. For example, business investment grew at only 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter, but that was almost entirely inventory growth. Nonresidential investment, a key driver of future economic growth, was up just 0.7 percent. Meanwhile, residential investment fell off a cliff, dropping 26.7 percent as consumers were unable to afford the combination of high home prices, high interest rates and falling real incomes. No wonder homeownership affordability has fallen to the lowest level in that metric’s history. But the growth in inventories, which accounted for half the GDP growth in the fourth quarter, is not a good sign, either. It is the result of businesses being unable to sell off existing inventories at current prices. Liquidating that inventory at discounts will mean lower profits, a further drag on future growth. video GDP data better than expected in Q3 Q3 GDP data beats estimates. FOX Business' Cheryl Casone with more. Another positive contributor to the GDP number was net exports, which is simply exports minus imports. But the gain here resulted from a slowdown in international trade — hardly a sign of wealth for Americans. Instead, imports are simply falling faster than exports, which shows up as an increase in GDP. To see why, imagine your hours have been cut back at work. You’re now earning $100 less a week, so you decide to reduce your weekly spending by $105. Your budget then shows a net increase of $5 left over at the end of the week. Your earnings are like exports, your spending like imports and the overall change to your budget is like net exports. FOX Business host Stuart Varney argues Biden's economic remarks are a 'distraction from his document fiasco.' So, even though you are worse off, just going by the change to your budget, you appear to be better off. That is exactly what happened with net exports in the GDP report. To keep up with inflation, consumers are depleting their savings and burning through the "stimulus" checks they received during 2020 and 2021. Credit card debt continues growing, while savings plummeted $1.6 trillion last year, falling below 2009 levels. video Final GDP reading confirms US economy entered recession in spring Fox Business' Cheryl Casone and Fox News contributor Michael Goodwin discuss the economy shrinking .06% in the spring on 'Mornings with Maria.' As consumers continue depleting cash reserves and borrowing costs are rising, the growth in consumer spending will keep slowing. Since that accounts for roughly two-thirds of GDP, this doesn’t bode well for the economy. Just how much pain is the consumer feeling? The average family has lost about $6,000 in annual purchasing power under Biden because prices have risen so much faster than wages. Higher interest rates have increased annual borrowing costs by $1,400, so that the average family effectively has $7,400 less in their annual budget. But that’s just the average. Someone trying to buy a median priced home today will have a monthly mortgage payment that is 80 percent higher than when Biden took office. That means spending an extra $9,500 a year for the same house. It’s no wonder people are financially strapped and taking on second or third jobs in this economy. Meanwhile, federal nondefense spending grew 11.2 percent in the fourth quarter, another example of politicians feeding the federal budget while starving the family budget. If you’ve ever driven a car that ran out of gas, you may have noticed the engine rev up right before stalling out. That seems to be what we are witnessing with the economy — an engine running on fumes, about to stop. video Harvard economist Jason Furman shares his economic outlook for 2023, focusing on recession fears, the Federal Reserve’s agenda and geopolitical factors. The last thing America needs is more taxing, spending and regulation by the federal government. Instead, we need to follow the winning formula laid out by President Ronald Reagan and Fed Chair Paul Volcker, which brought the economy back from stagflation. Reagan scaled back government while Volcker stopped the monetary manipulation and allowed interest rates to seek their natural level. Let’s hope we don’t have to relearn that lesson — because the tuition at the school of life isn’t cheap. E. J.

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/market-goes-haywire-dozens-nyse-trading-halts-open-after-technical-glitch Market Goes Haywire With Dozens Of NYSE Trading Halts At The Open After "Technical Glitch" BY TYLER DURDEN TUESDAY, JAN 24, 2023 - 11:25 AM Update 2 (11:15am ET): The NYSE says it is continuing to investigate the “technical issue” that caused wild stock swings at the market open Tuesday as dozens of large-cap stocks suddenly plunged or spiked during the broken opening auction. According to the New Jersey-based New York Stock Exchange, "impacted members may consider filing for Clearly Erroneous or Rule 18 claims" adding that "In a subset of symbols, opening auctions did not occur. The exchange is working to clarify the list of symbols." * * * Update (9:52am ET). According to the NYSE, as of 9:48am, all systems are back to normal, although that is an understatement in a market where nobody knows what the correct opening price is! We are still waiting for the NYSE to give a detailed explanation of what caused this latest "broken markets" episode. While it is still unclear what was the "technical glitch" that sent the world's biggest companies into a multi-trillion market cap rollercoaster, Bloomberg reports that "a wave of sell orders targeting financial services stocks swept across American equity exchanges at the open of trading Tuesday, sending companies including Wells Fargo & Co. and Morgan Stanley to brief but sharp plunges from which they mostly quickly recovered." Santa's note; This is strangely similar to what happened last yr in the Nickel Market. And if further shows without question that NOTHING in the financial system is legit. The powers that be are not going to let go of the reigns ever. Nevertheles, I believe that they are going to break everything and loose control of it all. That may be accurate, it's not comprehensive as virtually every NYSE-listed stock was slammed at the open, only to rebound powerfully before tumbling once more. Indeed, as noted below, other impacted stocks included the likes of Walmart, McDonald’s and Exxon. These stocks saw drops of at least 12% before they were halted. Their moves have now rebounded to less than 1% in either direction. Separately, at least 40 S&P 500 Index stocks were hit with trading halts. “It’s a little concerning,” Oanda senior market analyst Ed Moya told BBG. “These are not your typical meme stock, easily manipulated companies, these are Morgan Stanley, Verizon, AT&T, these are some of the giants.” Tuesday’s transactions occurred in New York Stock Exchange-listed securities and took place on virtually every trading platform, including ones overseen by CBOE Global Markets and private venues reporting to the Finra trade reporting facility. The start of trading in most American stocks involves a complicated but usually routine process called the opening auction, designed to limit volatility resulting from orders for shares that pile up before the start of the regular session. In it, a computer balances out supply and demand for a particular stock by establishing an opening price that can be viewed as the level that satisfies the largest possible number of traders. Santa's question; How is this not manipulation? How is it legal? “We don’t have all the details yet, but what it looks like is that some stocks opened and were automatically or were erroneously triggered for limit up/limit down, which threw them into a halt status,” said Jonathan Corpina, senior managing partner at Meridian Equity Partners who typically works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. “All of our phones are lighting up,” he said. “We’re trying to field calls from our customers and try to explain to them what happened, what’s going on and relay as much accurate information so they understand what’s happening. But as of now, things are still unfolding.” * * * It has been a while since we had a market-wide break. Something snapped at exactly 9:30:00 am ET this morning when stocks opened for trading, only... they didn't, as instead hundreds of NYSE-listed stocks were immediately halted for trading after breaching circuit breaker limits... ... which among others saw giga-caps such as Exxon, Morgan Stanley, Verizon, AT&T, Nike, and Wells Fargo tumbling as much as 11%... ... while McDonalds traded down to $236.42 before rebounding to $268.32 - a $55 billion swing in market cap in seconds - before being almost immediately halted. While it is unclear what the "technical glitch", as CNBC called it, in question was many stocks had abnormally large moves when stocks opened for trading, which triggered the resulting volatility halts. It took several minutes for the circuit breakers to be lifted and for trading to return to something resembling normalcy although nobody knows if these prices are accurate or still affected by whatever glitch halted trading

These freaks are not just EVIL, they're insane.

HUGE Thanks, @bigwave The forgoing is exactly why I began this thread. So are we to believe that all these monsters are robots or just paid actors? And who is the Antichrist running the show? As stated, "once the heard accepts forced vaccinations they will accept anything". This is not speculation, this is historical. HItler used similar techniques in the 30s. And though most of the sheep won't admit it, the Nazi party never died. Both world wars were propaganda with the main intention being, "thinning out the heard". Modern medicine, if you can still call it that, is based in a pharmaceutical solution. With the main intention of,"thinning out the heard". They want you to die. It's as simple as that. It's little different than if someone broke into your home and began shooting you and your family. But like sheep to the slaughter most go willingly to their deaths. Being lulled by the propaganda machine and it's entertainment branch. Listening to demon controlled fools confuse us with sexual perversions and pronouns. Never willing to do what it takes to end the control that EVIL has on the world.
