Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson joined Fox News to rip the Federal Reserve for being more concerned with targeting gender pronouns than dangerous inflation.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson said during the June 10 edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight that he obtained a Federal Reserve memo instructing employees to dispense with “offensive” words and phrases. Carlson said these words included: “‘Founding Fathers,’ ‘man-made,’ and singular pronouns like ‘he’ or ‘her.’” Hanson was not having any of it.
Hanson explained that the Federal Reserve being woke was “characteristic of all bureaucracies, that when they can’t solve an existential problem, they always go to the trivialities that they’ve done something.” Hanson then took a sledgehammer to the Federal Reserve: “[L]ook at the Federal Reserve. You know, we may have six to seven percent inflation, right now, per annum. And we have 2.8 mortgage rates. That’s a gap. And what are they doing? They’re looking at pronouns.”

Notice how the price of gold is being hammered - 1880 down 15 just today ....
How dare (person) not recognize (persons’) work to honor inflation’s preferred pronouns!
He’s the academic we need to be our pick for the recall. Soft spoken intellectual. California’s problems are so great only someone like him can deal with the Barney Fife mentality of our electorate filled with Otis Cambell’s. Central valley resident dealing with the silicon Valley types at Stanford. A lecturer the leftists will still have to listen to him b4 they shoot off their mouths.
Anyone who tries to tell me what pronouns to use will become aware of the only pronoun I will use for them: a$$hole.
Will an English teacher now get fired for teaching pronoun antecedent agreement?
He used to be maybe still is a registered democrat.
If elected he could spend a year educating californians about the direction they’re headed. Rat assembly is overwhelming so he’ll just have to lecture and hope that it sticks until the next election.
That’s a lot to hope for !
Putting their feet to the fire:
Congressman presses Treasury secretary to disclose U.S. gold activities
From Money Metals News Service, Eagle, Idaho
Thursday, June 10, 2021
WASHINGTON -- As foreign governments reportedly accumulate gold and de-dollarize their sovereign wealth funds, a Republican congressman is asking tough questions of the U.S. Treasury about its secretive gold activities. Rep. Alex Mooney, R-West Virginia, sponsor of the Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2021 (H.R. 3526) to require the first true audit of America’s gold in decades, wrote this week to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen requesting detailed information about the U.S. gold holdings delegated to the Federal Reserve and the International Monetary Fund and posed other questions.
"According to testimony in 2011 by Mr. Gary Engel, the director of financial management and assurance at the Government Accountability Office, about 5 percent of the U.S. gold holdings were stored at the time at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He also stated that this gold is not considered "audited" and that no assaying or inventorying of that gold had occurred since at least 1986.
1. At the current time, what amount of U.S. gold holdings is vaulted at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or by the Federal Reserve using other depositories)? Also, has this gold been recently audited, assayed, and/or inventoried? If so, please provide me with a copy of any relevant reports.
2. For what purpose(s) is United States gold bullion stored at the Federal Reserve?
3. According to testimony by Mr. Engel, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York holds gold for other nations as well. Is the U.S.-owned gold stored at the Federal Reserve held in a physically segregated manner from the holdings of other nations?
4. During the 2011 hearing, Rep. Luetkemeyer referenced a report that 261 million ounces in U.S.-owned gold is part of the International Monetary Fund's reserves. At present, how many ounces of U.S.-owned gold are in the possession of the IMF or pledged to the IMF -- and where is that gold kept? Also, please describe the purpose and nature of this arrangement as well as what oversight procedures are in place.
5. How much U.S.-owned gold is in the possession of and/or used by the Exchange Stabilization Fund as part of its activities? What is the purpose and nature of the ESF’s gold activities?
6. Please provide details as to what U.S.-owned gold is currently pledged, swapped, leased, or otherwise encumbered -- and for what purposes -- including, but not limited to, arrangements involving the Bank for International Settlements, World Bank, IMF, and other financial institutions, foreign or domestic."

All a GOP Governor can do is veto legislation and get overrun by followup legislation. Arnold quit on us. He could have had the decency to support Tom Mclintock for lt. Gov. and then quit once it got too hot. Arnold like the Bushes hated conservatives but he talked a good game when talking about Reagan.
Rip away. When we’ve gotten this far into mandating non-essential BS you have to KNOW that the left has a lock on this country. Go ahead and try to resist. Unless a hundred million join us, you’ll either go to jail or lose your job.
The Fed isn't about to "fight" inflation. They are causing it in a controlled manner as a matter of deliberate public policy.
The pronouns are a distraction, but it isn't the Fed being distracted.
