Happy New Year! Weaponized Depart of Justice

-

So, I made it through another year.  We say this sometimes out of jest, but seriously, I made it through another year.  Sometimes, I amaze myself.

The holidays were weird as we were empty nesters for the holidays and it was different.  I continue to try and capture my youthful feelings around the holidays, but it is so hard.  Pushing out the negative BS, etc... becomes exhausting.

Speaking of the negative BS - Here is a video for Jerome Powell, chairman of the Fed.  Now, before you get going on the legitimacy of the Fed, etc, this is not about the Fed, but the current drive of the executive branch to singularly control the monetary policy of the country.  And yes, no one administration or official should control the Fed (there is currently a board that is set over multiple administrations to ensure that one person or executive office can have full control).

Why is this important?  It is important to keep executive branches from artificially manipulating the financial policies of the country for short-term gain vs long-term stability policy.  You see if say some 1-term left politician decided they wanted to short-term prop up the economy to make it look as if failed economic policies were working and allowing for them (and friends) to borrow money at a lower rate (this isn't always a good thing - you can research this yourself).

Why the weaponization of justice line?  Well, watch this - read about why it came about, and think about why this administration wants control of monetary policy.  I'm going to let you think on this.  What I really want you to focus on is if Barack Obama tried to fire a member of the Fed and was pressuring the chair to do his finance bidding and then a grand jury was seated about said Fed chair when they won't - Some of you'd be up in arms.

Read and watch the below video at the Fed website.  This should be a major concern.

Statement by the Fed chair on the Fed website

Oh, and release all the Epstein files and prosecute all those sick fuckers!

 I am actually referring to my hair, but I also have a strange sense of humor.  It is funny how a beard and scraggly red hair with some white thrown in can make you look so much different. With the holidays quickly fading in the rear view, I am reluctant to let them go.  I am always happy how I am able to continue some tradition, let go of some, and add new.  Isn't that just the way all of life goes.  Some old, some forgotten, some new... Every holiday though I am struck with how little we have changed or how we ignored the warnings of the past.  I think about all the old Christmas specials and movies that deride commercialism, but not only did we not listen, we doubled down on commercialism.  Hell, we worship it. Today's cool thing and a bitch is all about the same item.  The NBA has provided this really cool location in Meta Horizon's called NBA Arena.  You can watch a game courtside and it is pretty darn cool (I know I said cool twice so y...

What's with the hat?

 You'd think I would be able to take a decent selfie by now.  I think that I am lacking the motivation to improve my selfie taking capabilities. It has been so nice to just sit outside in the AM.  Well, I don't just sit, I walk every morning, weed some items out of the flower beds, water what needs to be watered, and then I sit my ass down.  Sometimes, I even write in this bloggy thingy. Last fall, I planted 2 false sunflower plants.  One of them is still just foliage, but the other finally got a flower.  I was worried I had put it in a less than favorable location as where it is gets just about 7 hours of sun.  Depending on the plant growth, I will probably move it in the fall.  The flowers look a little less vibrant than they would if I had them in better light. And as I sit here with the sun rising to my back (the big hat shades the monitor :) ), there are so many things that I could complain about.  However, the bad items are so amazingly...
