Trump Fires Federal Reserve Governor

Original Article

Federal Reserve Chair ‘Too Late’ Jerome Powell has been a thorn in President Trump’s economic agenda. He doesn’t want to cut the rates, despite ample signs that inflation has stabilized. The tariffs have not wrecked the economy, but he remains defiant, creating immense tensions between the Fed and the White House. Powell did signal that he could cut rates in September. Now, the chance of that has increased with the firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who’s been criminally referred on suspicion of mortgage fraud

Comments:

Definitely deserved, but how long until it's stayed by some leftist black-robed tyrant??

The real story is that gutless Jerome Powell did not have the fortitude to fire her himself. Protected class (democrat) and protected ethnic persuasion

I had to google Lisa Cook and now I understand why she thinks she can just refuse to leave after being fired. Typical DEI hire who thinks she is above the law. There will be some liberal lawyer somewhere who will claim racism and some liberal judge who will say Trump can't fire her. I wouldn't care if Trump fired Jerome Powell too.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invoked a popular comic strip in an angry dissent, accusing her colleagues of being in the bag for President Donald J. Trump. The left-winger who was appointed by disgraced former President Joe Biden to fulfill his pledge to put a black woman on the SCOTUS has repeatedly shown that she lacks the intellect and temperament for the job with her emotional antics. Not that another example was needed, but Jackson served it up anyway, describing the court’s latest overruling of an activist lower court judge who blocked the ending of DEI-based grants at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as “Calvinball.”

Two people have been charged with murder for the fentanyl death of a toddler in March in Leavenworth, Kansas. “The Leavenworth Police Department arrested 40-year-old Tara Huerta on Friday. The Kansas City Police Department arrested Kenneth Hedgecock, 34, days later,” WTVM reported. The arrests occurred after a 3-year-old was found unresponsive in Huerta and Hedgecock’s apartment in March and was transported to a hospital. The child ultimately did not survive, and a May 29 autopsy report revealed the toddler died of acute fentanyl toxicity.

Representative Al Green, who has served Texas’s 9th Congressional District since 2005, will finally leave office. The Texas Legislature, led by Republicans, passed a legal redrawing of congressional maps that effectively eliminates District 9. Green, best known not for legislation but for shouting down President Trump during his address to Congress in March 2025, will be removed from office after nearly two decades of loud, ineffective, and divisive politics. Unsurprisingly, Rep. Al Green called the redistricting racist. But the only racial injustice here is the Democrat Party’s decades-long abuse of district lines to cling to power.

It appears that many of Boston's officers are quietly rebelling against the anti-ICE stance taken by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's (D) administration. According to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Boston cops are secretly providing critical information to federal immigration officials to help arrest criminal illegal aliens—a bold move that flies in the face of the sanctuary city policies pushed by Wu and other extremist Democrat mayors across the country. For years, Boston, under Wu’s leadership, has been one of the loudest advocates of the sanctuary city movement. Her administration has consistently refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, shielding illegal immigrants from enforcement efforts

We will be filing a lawsuit challenging this illegal action," Cook's lawyer, prominent Washington attorney Abbe Lowell, said in a statement.
