Give me your tired, your poor, your smuggled masses. New York City’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office is “fully booked through October 2032” for appointments to process migrants released at the southern border, according to an official document exclusively reviewed by The Post — making the Big Apple the ideal destination for migrants with dubious asylum claims and causing a massive headache to those with valid ones. The backlog means that migrants may have to wait almost a decade just to enter the immigration court process — which is beset by further delays stretching out years, sources said. “If...

On this date in 1493, Peter Dane was burned at the stake in the Baltic city of Rostock. Dane, the vicar of the church at the small town of Sternberg, allegedly sold consecrated communion Host to a Jew named Eleazar, who proceeded to destroy the pieces in a weird Jewish ceremony because Jews. From this imputation came the mass burning of 27 Jews at Sternberg in October 1492. (Eleazar himself, however, got away.) Those Jews not put to death were expelled from the Duchy of Mecklenburg, leading rabbis to pronounce a reciprocal ban against any of their people settling in...

Silicon Valley Bank on Friday paid out annual bonuses to eligible U.S. employees, BEFORE the bank collapsed and was seized, per Axios. The bonuses were for work done during 2022, and were previously scheduled to be disbursed on March 10. Axios reports some bonuses were not paid as they were also scheduled later. An FDIC spokesperson told Axios: "Without commenting on salaries, it’s our standard practice to ask retain [sic] bank employees to assist with an orderly transition as part of our resolution process." Notably, before the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, $SIVB, the CEO sold $3.57 million of stock...

proof of an American president getting paid off by our greatest strategic rival, if not enemy, is no small matter. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, said some pretty important things yesterday, appearing on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News Channel. Despite being stonewalled by Janet Yellen over release of Suspicious Activity Reports from banks about Hunter Biden’s transactions, he has gotten evidence about Biden family receipt of money from the CCP. What encourages me about his revelation is that there now are key forces within the Democrat establishment (which includes the legacy media) that...

Video creators that have been uploading to YouTube are very familiar with the over-the-top censorship at that site that has been going on for years. However, it is interesting to get the perspective of someone who has discovered this YouTube censorship perhaps for the first time. Even more interesting is that Helen Lewis of the Atlantic magazine can hardly be considered a conservative with a political axe to grind. So let us now go on a voyage of censorship discovery with Lewis in her Friday piece, "What You Can’t Say on YouTube."

In the movie The Untouchables, written by David Mamet and directed by Brian De Palma, a streetwise Irish cop named Malone tries to educate a starry-eyed fed named Eliot Ness in the ways of Chicago justice when up against an implacable, deadly opponent like Al Capone. The scene has become justly famous for this line: "“He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. THAT'S the Chicago way! And that's how you get Capone."But for our purposes here, what even more important is the exchange...

JUST IN - Trading halted for multiple U.S. bank stocks at market open.

In this article, I would like to take a journey with the reader. This journey will be the one that I took throughout my intellectual life which eventually led to my becoming a reactionary. I hope that it may serve as an example and an encouragement to emulation for those who may find themselves in similar circumstances such as I was. Pragmatic Conservatism My “ideological” journey began in my undergraduate years when I started to become politically aware. At this time, I would say that I largely reflected the politics of my parents, which were essentially Midwestern, populist, and pragmatically...

March 13 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden will deliver remarks about the banking industry on Monday morning after federal officials closed two banks, one tied closely to tech startups, over the past three days. Biden is set to speak on how his administration "will maintain a resilient banking system to protect our historic economic recovery," he said in a statement on Sunday. "I am firmly committed to holding those responsible for this mess fully accountable and to continuing our efforts to strengthen oversight and regulation of larger banks so that we are not in this position again," Biden said. Biden...

March 12 (UPI) -- Regulators shut down New York's Signature Bank on Sunday, the second bank to be shuttered in a matter of days, with President Joe Biden attempting to assuage fears over the stability of the financial system by vowing to continue efforts to strengthen oversight and regulation. Signature Bank -- a state-charted, federal-insured crypto industry lender based in New York City -- was closed by state bank regulators Sunday in an effort "to protect depositors," New York Department of Financial Services Superintendent Adrienne Harris said in a statement. According to state records, Signature Bank has $110.3 billion in...

On January 12, 2021, the bank told The New York Post that it had begun the process of closing Trump’s two personal accounts and “will not do business in the future with any members of Congress who voted to disregard the Electoral College.” Regulators shut down New York City based Signature Bank on Sunday, a financial institution which had previously cut ties with President Donald Trump following the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Signature Bank is the second financial institution shuttered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) this week after Friday's collapse of Silicon Valley...

Fox News host Mark Levin accused Democrats of “tolerating” anti-Semitism, criticizing Democratic leaders for remaining silent over Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s recent Saviours’ Day event late last month. From February 24th through the 26th, the Nation of Islam held its annual conference in Chicago, the first large-scale gathering the group has held since the COVID pandemic. During the conference, Farrakhan repeatedly castigated Jews, condemning “Jewish power” and attacking the “synagogue of Satan.” "Jewish power has all of our people - the knowledge, wisdom, and talent - afraid. But just look at what these people control. And every door...

Japan on Monday dropped its request for people to wear masks after three years, ... During a televised budget committee meeting at parliament, some lawmakers still wore masks, though Prime Minister Fumio Kishida wasn't wearing one when he arrived at his office Monday. Baseball fans who gathered outside of the Tokyo Dome hours before Monday´s games Australia-Czech Republic and China-South Korea also had on masks. They'll also be able to cheer without their masks as that ban was lifted, too. Dropping the mask-wearing request is one of the last steps Japan's government is taking in easing COVID-19 rules in public...

Alex Yenni recently endeavored to take his wife and 5-year-old son bowling with another family in Petaluma, Calif., close to their home. The plan quickly went into the gutter.Mr. Yenni, a 42-year-old advertising executive, tried to book online in advance at AMF Boulevard Lanes, where he wanted to reserve two lanes for two hours at 3 p.m. on the last Thursday of the year during winter break.The price quoted by the website, run by national operator Bowlero Corp., knocked him over: $418.90. “This strikes me as outrageous for a pedestrian family activity,” he said.

Despite skeins of bank regulations supposed to prevent another financial meltdown, Silicon Valley Bank, the country’s 17th-biggest bank, went down in flames last week. There’s plenty of blame to go around, but when a financial institution goes under, you have to wonder: where were the regulators? After all, there were more red flags than you see at a CCP convention. Consider the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the body created in 2010 after the financial crisis, which was meant to avert just this sort of collapse. The council is chaired today by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and includes 9 other voting...

Biden’s FAA pick Phil Washington knows nothing about aviation safety. "Mr. Washington, can you quickly tell me what kind of airspace requires an ADS-B transponder?” said Senator Ted Budd in a March 1 hearing with Phillip Washington, Joe Biden’s pick to head the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). “Not sure I can answer that question right now,” said Washington. Budd said the answer was a “pretty important part” but quickly moved on. “What are the six types of special-use airspace that protect this national security that appear on FAA charts?” “Sorry senator,” Washington said. “I cannot answer that question.” Budd duly...

Well, I went to the site to get my daily fix of Dilbert, and it is no longer there. I thought Scott Adams owned the URL, but now I'm guessing that the syndicate owns it.
