Flotsam and Jetsam - President Trump Beards Fed Chair Powell in His Den

But first, At Hat Hair, Duane Patterson reviews Donald Trump's Winning Wednesday.  

President Trump toured the Federal Reserve buildings in Washington D.C. yesterday, much to the chagrin of Fed Reserve Chairman Powell. Sundance has the livestream, President Trump and Jerome Powell Tours the Federal Reserve Construction at the William McChesney Martin Building in Washington D.C. and President Trump Gives Impromptu Remarks Calling out Federal Chairman Jerome Powell Who is Standing Right Next to Him. At Hat Hair, Beege Welborn thinks Jerome Powell Looking a Little Green Around the Gills During Trump's Fed Tour. You ain't seen green in the face until you've seen a landlubber in 20 ft seas in a small boat. NewsMax cites Bessent: Fed Forecasts 'Politically Biased'. "The Fed publishes something called a summary of economic projections, and it's pretty politically biased," Bessent said, summarizing the projections as forecasts for one to two quarter-point interest-rate cuts this year." Certainly true, Powell is no fan of Trump's policies, and is keeping rates higher than necessary, hoping for inflation to rear it's ugly head to justify it. That said, setting the rate below inflation makes no sense; who wouldn't borrow money in that event. Matt Vespa hears an Implosion: The Reactions to This Failed Democrat Tweet Attacking Trump Were Amazing: Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh, "the Trump White House just m*rdered the Democrat Party.." Democrats/status/1948493667540316482. From Breitbart, Trump ‘Thinking About’ Ending Capital Gains Tax on Home Sales. Currently exempted, up to $250k ($500,000 for joint filers), and not changed since 1997. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair VIP, Hmm: Trump to Send New Rescission Package to Claw Back Dept of Education Funds? I'm down with that. Beege Welborn reports DoE Cancels Another POTATUS Last Minute Big Buck High Wire Act.

Somehow, Democrats continue to think they have a winning issue in Clinton confidant Jeffrey Epstein, despite polls showing it's not eating into Trump's support. Capt. Ed, BREAKING: DoJ Officials to Meet With Ghislaine Maxwell Today; House Oversight Subpoenas. Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley, "Yesterday, I was surprised to learn from a member of Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team that she has never been interviewed by either state or federal prosecutors. Despite news reports to the contrary, it appears that Maxwell may be an untapped source of information on the scandal..." Sundance, Deputy AG Todd Blanche Interviews Ghislaine Maxwell for Five Hours “Ms. Maxwell answered every single question. She never stopped, she never invoked a privilege, she never declined to answer. She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly and to the best of her ability.” Jeff Charles at TownHall explains how Senate Democrats Just Showed They Were Never Serious About Releasing Epstein Files. "After nearly two weeks of screaming about the Jeffrey Epstein files, Senate Democrats blocked a resolution that would call for the release of information related to the sex trafficker’s illicit activities." Proving they want to preserve the issue, not have the facts.

Shawn Fleetwood at Da Fed reports New Docs Contradict Top Obama Officials’ Claims Steele Dossier Wasn’t Included In Critical Russiagate Report. Paul Sperry at RCI details How the Obama Admin Turned ‘Unverifiable’ Report Into Russiagate Dynamite. "A 46-page report by the House of Representatives released Wednesday found that the source of the claim about Putin – reportedly a Russian defector living in Northern Virginia described as “anti-Trump” – merely speculated to Brennan about something he had been told by somebody else: namely, that Putin was "counting on" Trump winning." John Hinderacker at Power Line asks Who Cares What Putin Wanted? "since when do we care about Russia’s preferences in our elections? For what it is worth, I think it is highly unlikely that Russia’s leaders have ever, in the post-war era, wanted a Republican to be elected president. We know for sure that in 2008, Russia backed Barack Obama. I wrote about it at the time . . ." Austin Bay calls it Obama's Criminal Hoax: Intel Lies Damaging National Security. Beege Welborn says See? WE Weren't the Crazy Ones - Hillary Was, the Whole Time, at least if you believe Russian intelligence. 

Misty Severi at JTN hears the House Intel chair accuses Obama of leading 'greatest perpetration of fraud' in history. TNP reports House GOP Finally Moves to Investigate J6 Feds and J6 Committee. Mark Tapscott at Insty, sees GRAHAM, CORNYN CALL FOR SPECIAL PROSECUTOR: "Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) are jointly calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a Special Prosecutor to assess evidence former President Barack Obama managed the Russia-gate effort to undermine Donald Trump during his first term in the Oval Office. UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Special prosecutors don’t seem that good at getting to the bottom of things." Sundance agrees, Absolutely Not – Senators Graham and Cornyn Ask DOJ to Appoint Special Counsel to Investigate President Obama and Intelligence Weaponization Against Trump. Matt Vespa hears James Clapper Did Something That Shows He's Nervous About the New Russian Collusion Docs, lawyered up. Bob Spencer at PJM wonders What’s This Russia Hoaxer Doing in Trump’s NSA? It's hard to stomp all the roaches.

A Larry video at Hat Hair, Total CNN Collapse: Media Panics As Fake Narratives Crumble. At TownHall, Matt Vespa says Oh, You Knew This Pivot on the Russian Collusion Docs Was Coming on CNN. Western Lensman @WesternLensman "CNN Nat Security Analyst Beth Sanner accuses Trump admin of by aiding Russia by disclosing intel docs: “By bringing this up again, the Trump administration is doing the work of our adversary, Russia." Of course." Matt Vespa again, Oh, You Knew the Liberal Media Was Going to Do This After the Russiagate Files Were Unsealed Sean Davis @seanmdav, "You know we all have your Signal messages trying to set up secret backchannel meetings with Christopher Steele, right? And that you were working with a lawyer for a sanctioned Russian oligarch who had hired Steele?" Quote Mark Warner @MarkWarner, "First Tulsi cooks up some insane “Obama-Russia-Hoax” conspiracy that’s a clear distraction from Epstein. Then Trump dumps weird videos on Truth Social. Then Johnson dismisses the entire House because he’s scared of an Epstein vote…"

Matt Margolis hears Biden Suffers Humiliating Blow With Paltry Advance for His Memoirs. Only $10 million. But then, again, he's not really going to write it. I'll bet AI does most of it.

PJM's Rick Moran reports Three Committees Issue Subpoenas to Dem Fundraiser ActBlue, "investigating a myriad of charges against the organization, ranging from lax procedures protecting donor information to outright fraud in accepting illegal donations from overseas." From Ace Three House Committees Combine to Subpoena the Democrats' Illegal Foreign Contribution Money-Laundering Arm, Act Blue, "Finally, we are taking out their illegal fundraising schemes one by one, from money laundered through "nonprofit NGOs" to Act Blue, which falsely files illegal foreign donations as coming from Americans (who then report, "I never donated to a Democrat in my life!")."

VodkaPundit at Insty reveals the CATCH OF THE DAY: "ICE arrests 243 criminal illegal migrants in Denver, capturing Tren de Aragua gang members, child sex offenders, human traffickers. Previously: Denver Mayor Mike Johnston grilled, threatened with jail during congressional hearing over immigration policies." At Hat Hair John Sexton reports Man Who Threw Rocks at ICE Vehicles Arrested in Mexico and Returned to the US and Dave Strom hears Karen Bass: We Need Our Slave Labor!

Dave Strom thinks Colbert Wants to Get Fired. Ace, SkyDance Media Promises to Strip the Bias Out of CBS in Both "News" and "Entertainment". "This is a real changing of the (old, ancien) guard. Is it possible that one legacy network actually realizes that as people cut the cords and abandon TV at accelerating rates it becomes even more crucial to appeal to the entire potential audience, not just the 15% of hard-left Timeline Witch Lunatics they'd rather appeal to? Could might be!" Driscoll at Insty hears ABC NEWS GETS A STERN TALKING-TO: White House Warns The View to ‘Self-Reflect’ Before ‘Pulled Off-Air.’ "As NewsBusters has documented in recent days, ABC News program, The View had made some pretty incendiary and heinous accusations against President Trump; accusing of everything from “crimes against humanity” to “treason.” The White House had apparently had enough, because in a statement to Fox News on Wednesday, the administration called out the show and warned them to straighten up before they get “pulled off-air.” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr also hinted that the administration could be scrutinizing The View." John Sexton on the Bezos Buyout: Another Washington Post Columnist is Gone. "Philip Bump wasn't the worst columnist at the Washington Post. That title will probably remain in the hands of former columnist Taylor Lorenz who wound up being ushered out after repeatedly lying to her own editors." Bob Malone predicts The Apocalypse of Legacy Media, "Change is coming, and it is good."
