DEI: In another case of ‘Didn’t Earn It’ Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Board member Lisa DeNell Cook’s entire academic career has been found to be fraudulent. From faking research data, to outright plagiarism, to lying on her resume - Cook is in charge of our monetary policy.

She was born in 1958 in Brooklyn. There's not much info about her childhood. She's never been married, no kids, possibly an angry lesbian. We'll never know if she received any special treatment at the schools she attended. Her BA degree was in liberal arts from a college that is part of the City of New York University. She got her law degree from Howard University, which is an historically black college, but does accept people of other races. She has an MPA from Columbia University. She initially worked for the Legal Aid Society, but the remaining time, she has worked in government positions. She's one of those blacks who got her nose in the door early, working for Gov. Mario Cuomo, then prostitute-lover Eliot Spitzer. And she's been living off the taxpayers of NY, ever since.
Thank you for link. Excellent article.
Very timely.
It’s a solid article I post in relevant threads.
Unfortunately, relevant threads keep happening more frequently…
D.E.I. The surest way to Destroy any Enterprise is to put Incompetents in charge.
But maybe destruction of the enterprise is the real reason Leftists and Communists are eager to promote unqualified minorities to positions of power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American philosopher, poet, and patriot. Many of the points of wisdom he wrote in his Essays of the mid-19th century ring remarkably true today. Here is one of my favorite passages -- a beautifully crafted metaphor which shows the long term destruction of society that D.E.I. brings with it:
An apple-tree is a stupid kind of creature, but if this treatment is pursued for a short time, I think it would begin to mistrust something.
And if you should take out of the powerful class engaged in trade a hundred good men, and put in a hundred bad, or, what is just the same thing, introduce a demoralizing institution, would not the dollar, which is not much stupider than an apple-tree, presently find it out?
The value of a dollar is social, as it is created by society. Every man who comes into this city, with any purchasable talent or skill in him, gives to every man's labor in the city, a new worth. If a talent is anywhere born into the world, the community of nations is enriched."
Thx for the insightful quote.
That sums it up well.
Sure, using modern CSS styling is efficient, but for FR it would introduce security risks. Even still, if you put in the effort to learn the old way of coding HTML, it works perfectly fine, and you can pat yourself on the back for what you accomplished in a world that has lost its patience.
Nice job :-)
Nice Pocono. You're right - horrendous - and time consuming but fun on a limited phrase like DEI...Thanks pundit.
notice she is not openly attached to a spouse that we can easily find. she is giant, she is ugly, oh and her giantess, is also very repulsive and fat...
guessing she is a LESBIAN or Bisexual, with a fluid lifestyle like leticia james... and so many others. in the democrat party... those are all resume enhancers, along with the skills to cook the books in order to steal more readily.
intersectional victim, black, woman, lesbian?, feminist, childless... if she were only also a muslim, but alas.
Biden appointed Federal 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
In March 2022, Biden’s nominee for the Federal Reserve, Sarah Bloom Raskin, withdrew her name from consideration amid intense opposition from Republicans and a key moderate Democrat.
The opposition was primarily focused on her views on climate change and her prior work for a financial technology company, not on her academic qualifications. The criticisms raised against Sarah Bloom Raskin during her confirmation process centered on several issues:
Republicans and fossil fuel industry groups opposed Raskin’s nomination because she had argued that financial regulators should consider the risks that climate change poses to the economy. Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, joined Republicans in opposing her, citing her statements as a concern for the “all-of-the-above energy policy”.
Republicans also criticized Raskin for her role on the board of the fintech company Reserve Trust, which secured a master account with the Federal Reserve after she reportedly intervened on its behalf. They questioned whether she used her previous government connections for the company’s benefit after leaving her position as Deputy Treasury Secretary. Raskin denied any wrongdoing.
No Allegations of Fake Academic Credentials: There were no credible allegations that Raskin had faked her academic qualifications. Her educational background, including a degree from Amherst College and a J.D. from Harvard Law School, was not disputed during her confirmation process.
Outcome of the nomination
Raskin’s nomination was ultimately derailed by the combination of Republican opposition and Senator Manchin’s refusal to support her.
Faced with a boycott from Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee that stalled the process, she withdrew her nomination on March 15, 2022. President Biden, in a statement, called the attacks against her “baseless”.
More recent reports of an investigation into Lisa Cook do not concern her 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, Republican senators and conservative commentators questioned the validity and relevance of Cook’s academic work.
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”.
Guessing she is a LESBIAN or Bisexual, with a fluid lifestyle like leticia james... and so many other democrats....... all resume enhancers, plus the crooked skills to cook the books to steal more readily.
Cook:fat, ugly, her gigantic size is very repulsive, nails and hair done, big boobs ...an intersectional victim, black, woman, lesbian?, feminist, childless, hiding her marital status... if she were only also a muslim, but alas....
A “box-checker” to the max........you nailed it perfectly.
