President Trump on Monday evening fired Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook amid mortgage fraud allegations.

“Pursuant to my authority under Article II of the Constitution of the United States and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended, you are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,” President Trump wrote in a letter to Lisa Cook.

“I have determined that there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position,” Trump added as he cited housing regulator Bill Pulte’s criminal referral on Lisa Cook for mortgage fraud – specifically occupancy fraud.

Is it just me or does the “Well…Bye” cowboy always look like he’s wearing a red track suit with white stripes running on his shoulders and going down his arms?

I know it’s from Tombstone. I know he’s sitting in a white chair. I’ve seen the movie. But that particular still from it always hits me as weird that way.

I must have been born in the South circa 1800, because Colored man or woman, was interchangeable with Negro. Black was actually a slander. That is why they have the NAACP... National Association for Advancement of Colored People.

Because the left will come out in droves if the first black woman in that position is fired. Watch BLM start showing up to hold rallies and protests. If she was a white woman, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal to the activists. It’s disingenuous for you to ignore the fact that race matters in a situation like this.

Condoleezza Rice was dishonest about Iraq's WMD, and used all her persuasion skills to facilitate W's expensive illegal war, which led to a power vacuum promptly occupied by Iran. The basis of her argument was Iraq must have WMD because Iraq was not happy about her WMD investigators being there. Rice was just doing her job covering for her boss, but any semblance of honesty went out the window. Her fraud cost Americans lives, and $3 trillion dollars, which made even Bernie Madoff blush. How's that for dishonesty?

The President’s power to fire a Fed Governor is limited and would likely face legal challenges.

12 USC 242 states that a Fed Governor “shall hold office for a term of fourteen years… unless sooner removed for cause by the President.”

There will probably be a legal challenge on the "for cause" element. An alleged crime for which the FED Governor has not been charged, tried or convicted would be argued as not meeting the requirements of the "for cause" element.

"Cause" could be inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office; but mortgage fraud would not seem directly related to the office, or the terms and conditions of employment.

There would also likely be a complaint for violation of due process rights, such as notification and a right to respond.

(These colored gals do it to themselves. No one forced her to falsify her mortgage applications.)

There’s been a lot of them doing it lately. They think they’re invincible and won’t get caught.

It's 2025, not 1800.

You are using terms that are outdated.

(The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is an American civil rights organization formed in 1909 as an interracial endeavor to advance justice for African Americans...”
The only acceptable usage of that term is when you are referring to that particular organization.

The term is now considered obsolete and offensive in modern English.)

Made official by who? Don’t forget there’s the United Negro College Fund.

So instead of discussing the charges against Page, we’re focusing on the words used to describe her race. It’s a typical tactic of leftists to hijack the conversation in an attempt to bury the lede.
