Biden was hell bent to “get” Christians yet Biden appointed as a prestigious Reserve Board member, DEI box checker, Lisa DeNell Cook, whose entire academic career was found to be fraudulent:
<><>faking research data,
<><>outright plagiarism,
<><>lying on her resume

More recent reports of an investigation into Lisa Cook do not concern her dishonest flawed academic record. Instead, they focus on mortgage fraud allegations made in August 2025 by a Trump administration official.

These new accusations differ from past criticisms of her academic work, which were largely raised by commentators and politicians during her 2022 Senate confirmation process.

Mortgage fraud investigation into Cook (August 2025)
Source of allegations: Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, referred the matter to the Department of Justice.

The claims: Pulte accused Cook of misrepresenting her primary residence to obtain favorable mortgage loan terms on properties in Michigan and Georgia. A DOJ official confirmed the matter “requires further examination”.

President Donald Trump amplified the allegations on social media and called for Cook’s resignation from the Federal Reserve Board.

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

Past academic controversies (2022 confirmation)
During her 2022 Senate confirmation, the validity and relevance of Cook’s academic work was questioned.
Senator Pat Toomey claimed Cook was “unqualified to fight inflation” and accused her of being “hyper-partisan” based on her past tweets. Critics accused Cook of “careless scholarship” or “academic misconduct” for focusing on race in economics.

Other economists, including her thesis advisor, defended Cook’s credentials. They noted the importance of her research on the impact of racial violence on innovation.

Cook’s response: During her confirmation hearing, Cook addressed the attacks. She stated, “I know I have been the target of anonymous and untrue attacks on my academic record”.

These people get in a position of power and think that they are above the law. It reads like New
York Tish James, Part Deux. And it looks like they both use the same hair straightener.

Nope. It doesn’t.

Because the socialist prigs at NAACP don’t use it in a derogatory way to refer to their organization.

It was used in the post up thread in a pejorative way given the sentiments that poster has written previously.

And you’ll notice that President Trump never mentioned her color. To him, she’s just a corrupt… American.

Which is how she should be referred to.

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

Why is her color even an issue.

It's the main reason she had the job. The other being she is a she.

Lots of blank posts coming up as caught and grayed out by my Firefox extension. No sense checking to see who, as it’s usually the same posters.

Now if you have the winning Powerball numbers - email me! LOL!

Dirtbags come in all colors, genders and sizes. They get fired summarily all the time. The operative word here is dirtbag. She could have been male and white. She just happens to be a}a woman and b) black. She could have been male and white. But she was still remains a dirtbag and thus subject to being fired summarily.

"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. It was widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries in the U.S. to refer to African Americans, but it carries the weight of segregation and discrimination.

Sounds like our Commie buddy Furry is keeping a list of wrong-thinkers, Macho MAGA Man...

Wonder if you're up for "public shaming"?

Every person in government with the words “Biden-Appointed” attached needs to be fired!
