Bidenomics at work....agin.

Republic First Bank, a regional lender based out of Philadelphia, became the first bank failure of 2024 on Friday when it was shut down by Pennsylvania's bank regulator and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) seized control of the operation.

The FDIC quickly made a deal for Fulton Bank to buy Republic First's assets, but one expert on financial regulatory reform and bank failures says the collapse could be a harbinger of things to come.

"This bank failure indicates that additional failures will occur and will range between smaller community banks and larger banks," said Joseph Lynyak, a banking attorney at Dorsey & Whitney, regarding the seizure of Republic First by U.S. regulators.


"The cause is twofold: higher-cost deposits exceeding the yield on low-yield treasury securities and similar investments held by banks, and the deteriorating commercial real estate market and commercial real estate loans," said Lynyak, who specializes in bank receiverships and failures.

James Carville’s message to young voters opposed to Biden: ‘F–k you’
By Victor Nava

Democratic strategist James Carville had choice words for young voters on Sunday, warning that “little f–king 26-year-olds” unenthused about President Biden will have “no rights left” if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 election.

“So, I hear this a lot,” Carville said. “‘James, young voters are just not into this. It’s two candidates, one’s in their 80s, one is almost in their 80s, they’re concerned about things that Washington politicians, and you just can’t blame them for – ‘Oh, s–t. F–k you!”

“Are you watching what is happening in the Supreme Court?” the former Bill Clinton adviser fumed in the video, posted by podcast purveyor Politicon. “If you’re 26, do you see what they’re doing? First of all, they’re gonna take every right that you could possibly have away from you.”

Carville went on to rail against conservative justices on the Supreme Court, accusing them of being “illegitimate whores” and deriding the high court as an “illegitimate organization” as it considers Trump’s presidential immunity claim.  ...
Sounds like he has dementia.

Ex-NSA employee sentenced to 21 years after selling classified documents to FBI agent posing as Russian agent

A former employee of the National Security Agency was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison Monday for selling classified material to a person he believed to be a Russian agent.

The individual that Jareh Sebastian Dalke thought was a Russian official was actually a covert FBI agent.

Dalke, who pleaded guilty last year to six counts of attempting to transmit national security secrets to a foreign agent, will spend 262 months behind bars for the espionage attempt.

“This was blatant. It was brazen and, in my mind, it was deliberate. It was a betrayal, and it was as close to treasonous as you can get,” US District Judge Raymond Moore said at the 32-year-old Colorado Springs man’s sentencing hearing, according to the Associated Press.  ...

“This defendant, who had sworn an oath to defend our country, believed he was selling classified national security information to a Russian agent, when in fact, he was outing himself to the FBI,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

“This sentence demonstrates that that those who seek to betray our country will be held accountable for their crimes,” he added. ...
Ooh, tough talk from Garland.
