Psaki Taunts Reddit Bros With The SEC

The Hedge Funds Circle Back

White House press secretary Jen Psaki taunted populist GameStop investors at her briefing Monday, stating that the Reddit-driven short squeeze propelling GameStop stock to new heights is “under the purview of the SEC.” Psaki also said that “congressional attention” should be paid to “market volatility,” and pledged the White House’s commitment to working with Congress on financial reforms.

The GameStop Revolution, powered by the Reddit community r/wallstreetbets, is costing Wall Street short sellers billions of dollars. The hedge fund Melvin Capital bet heavily against the beloved video-game retailer GameStop. Young men of all political persuasions were outraged, so they began investing in GameStop with record small-dollar purchases. By driving up the stock price of GameStop, the populists are hurting the hedge funders who were trying to drive the stock down. The maneuever is called a “short squeeze” and it has captured the American imagination.

Asked if the Biden White House is considering working with Congress on financial reforms including possibly increasing restrictions on short selling (something the financial class definitely does not want), Psaki looked frazzled. She made it clear that the White House is looking to the Securities and Exchange Commission to handle the matter.

“Obviously this is under the purview of the SEC in terms of their review and monitoring,” Psaki said.

The SEC has made it clear that it is looking to curtail what it calls potential “abusive activity” with regard to the GameStop revolution. Reviled hedge-fund loyalists are trying to make the case that outside investors on Reddit are somehow illegally manipulating the market. But r/wallstreetbets is not afraid of the SEC, telling the regulatory agency to “eat a d-ck.”

Psaki also cited the need for “congressional attention” to the “market volatility” issue, without endorsing any kind of progressive solutions. Elizabeth Warren, who has billed herself as some kind of anti-Wall Street champion, is now showing her true colors, scrambling to run cover for hedge funds by urging the SEC to stop “market manipulation” and foil the Reddit bros.

Psaki previously told a Bloomberg reporter that the Biden White House was “monitoring” the GameStop surge.

Meanwhile, populists on the Right and Left are banding together in an unlikely confederacy of geniuses to support the GameStop surge and keep it going. Here is Young Republican Gavin Wax in New York City railing against the elites.

“The Senate is Utterly Without Jurisdiction to Try Donald Trump” – Former Independent Counsel Ken Starr Explains Why Democrats Can’t Try Trump

No where in the Constitution or any other documents written by our framers does it mention anything about impeaching and convicting a former president.

Former US Solicitor General and Independent Counsel Ken Starr said the senate is without jurisdiction to try private citizen Donald Trump.

The House of Representatives impeached President Trump with a 232-197 vote on January 13 for ‘inciting an insurrection’ at the Capitol.

Speaker Pelosi held onto the articles of impeachment and didn’t deliver articles to the senate until after Trump left office.

Chief Justice Roberts isn’t even presiding over the senate trial – Senate Pro Temp Leahy (D-VT) is instead, which is another violation of the law.

Furthermore, 45 senators have already voted that it is unconstitutional so the trial in DOA.

Judge Starr outlined in detail why “the Senate is utterly without jurisdiction to try Donald Trump” during an appearance with “Life, Liberty & Levin” Sunday evening.

PSAKI: Biden Administration Encourages Tech Censorship, Twitter Banning Trump Purged ‘Hate Speech’

President Biden has reportedly spoken with Big Tech oligarchs to discuss how conservative speech can further be restricted on their platforms

During Monday’s White House press conference, Biden administration press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that President Biden and his team fully support Big Tech censorship of citizen’s First Amendment, stating that the administration supports the power of Big Tech monopolies to restrict “hate speech” even further.”

“This may hard to believe, but we don’t spend a lot of time thinking about or talking about President Trump here, former President Trump, to be very clear,” Psaki said in response to a question about what effect President Trump’s Twitter ban has had on the current regime.

Psaki continued, “Um, I think that’s a question that is probably more appropriate for Republican members, um, who, um, are looking for ways to support a bipartisan, uh, and whether that gives them space, but I can’t say we miss him on Twitter.”

“We’ve spoken to and [Biden] has spoken to the need for social media platforms to continue to take steps to reduce hate speech,” Psaki added.

Psaki had previously stated that voters “shouldn’t be surprised” Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was paid millions by hedge funds that she is now advising Biden about during the current GameStop stock craze:

During Thursday’s White House press conference, Biden administration press secretary Jen Psaki flippantly downplayed the potentially massive conflict of interest raised by Biden treasury Secretary Janet Yellen being paid in $810,000 in speaking fees by hedge fund Citadel LLC before refusing to recuse herself from advising Joe Biden on the Gamestop “meme stock” short squeeze, which heavily involves Citadel-owned trading platform Robinhood as well as the hedge fund itself.

You did mention, I believe yesterday, that the treasury secretary is monitoring the situation and is on top of it,” a reported stated during the press conference. “There have been some concerns about her previous engagements with Citadel and speaking fees that she has received from Citadel; are there any plans to have her recuse herself from advising the president on Gamestop and the whole Robinhood situation?”

Psaki has also drawn mockery for her overuse of the term “I’ll have to circle back with you” to avoid answering questions during press conferences.

Homeland Security Descends on Tampa Bay Ahead of Super Bowl

TAMPA, Fla. – Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) joins federal, state, and local law enforcement partners in public safety efforts in and around the Tampa Bay area for Super Bowl LV.

HSI personnel will be on the front lines of the interagency effort to mitigate the threat posed by criminal organizations seeking to exploit and profit from criminal activity through the identification and seizure of counterfeit goods and enhanced efforts to combat human trafficking.

“I am proud of the efforts of HSI Tampa, the National Intellectual Property Rights Center and our public and private sector partners, who are working hard to make sure this is a safe event for everyone, despite the global pandemic,” said HSI Acting Executive Associate Director Patrick J. Lechleitner. “Large-scale events like the Super Bowl provide opportunities for transnational criminal organizations to commit and profit from illicit activity. As in years past, effective teamwork will be the key to success on and off the field. For HSI, the size and scope of the task will again be met with personnel who are prepared to successfully execute the agency’s game plan and safeguard the city from national security and public safety threats during Super Bowl LV.”

Through Operation Team Player, the IPR Center, HSI, and its partners crack down on the illegal importation of counterfeit sports apparel and merchandise. Throughout the year, warehouses, stores, flea markets, online marketplaces and street vendors selling counterfeit and game-related sportswear and tickets are identified throughout the country. The IPR Center leads coordinated efforts to target contraband that negatively impacts the economy, restricts the competitiveness of U.S. products in the global market, and poses health and safety hazards to the public.

As a global leader in the investigation of criminal organizations that commit and facilitate human trafficking, HSI also works with its public and private sector counterparts to identify and target human traffickers. Leading up to and during the Super Bowl, HSI operations identify and rescue potential trafficking victims and work to prevent illicit activity from ever happening.

Michigan’s Tyrannical, Economy-Wrecking Governor Aids CNN In Vile Propaganda Campaign To Label Dissenters Of Democrat Party’s Radical Agenda, “Domestic Terrorists”

For years, with no evidence to back up their claims, CNN has attempted to brand Trump supporters as extremists who need to be dealt with.

100 Percent Fed Up reports- CNN host Alisyn Camerota asked Michigan’s even unpopular governor, Gretchen Whitmer, about “domestic terrorism” in America, asking her if she believes “in hindsight” the protests in Michigan were a “dry run” for the Capitol Hill riots on January 6th? Camerota was referring to a group of anti-lockdown protesters who legally walked into the states’ Capitol and chanted outside of the chambers where lawmakers were discussing the lockdown orders.

With a straight face, Michigan’s unhinged Democrat governor, whose tyrannical and unconstitutional lockdowns have devasted the lives of Michigan residents, responded by blaming President Trump for the protesters who were losing their jobs and businesses because of her irrational decisions. “It was encouraged by the former White House…the misinformation…the encouragement…the normalizing of this kind of domestic terrorism.” Hmmm…good to know that protests covered by our First Amendment are considered “domestic terrorism,” by the left.

Camerota continued to misrepresent Trump supporters who have protested across America over a number of issues, most of which are related to unconstitutional lockdown orders by overreaching Democrat governors. Brushing tens of thousands of Americans with a broad brush, Camerota assured her small audience that just because “President Trump is gone,” it doesn’t mean “the extremists” have disappeared.

Biden pushes green energy agenda after campaign donations from green industry

Industry that heavily supported Biden's campaign is in a position to see significant results

President Biden has made it clear that climate is driving much of his agenda early in his administration, providing his green industry campaign donors with reason to celebrate.

Less than a month into his presidency, Biden has shut down work on the Keystone XL pipeline and banned future gas and oil leases on federal lands, pointing to a shift in energy policy that administration officials and Cabinet nominees have said are meant to yield significant economic impacts.

"Today is 'Climate Day' at the White House and – which means that today is ‘Jobs Day’ at the White House," Biden said Wednesday before signing climate-related executive actions. "We're talking about American innovation, American products, American labor."

The green industry heavily relies on government-awarded funds, and with Biden promising to lean heavily in their direction, the industry as a whole contributed more than $11 million in political donations in 2020, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The center noted that while this amount pales in comparison to the $1 billion Biden's campaign raised in total, it is still more than double what the industry had given in the past.

Biden’s campaign, in particular, received more than $3 million that had been raised by Clean Energy for Biden, which describes itself as "a network of clean economy business leaders and advocates" that looked to get Biden elected and "advance policies, technologies and investment to address the climate challenge." The group says it plans to remain active under the name Clean Energy for America. The organization’s executive council includes more than 50 green industry leaders.

According to the Washington Post, another group, known as Climate Leaders for Biden, raised close to $15 million in support of Biden through GiveGreen, a platform geared toward helping donors give toward candidates who support climate change action.

Zarif Suggests EU High Representative Borrell ‘Choreograph’ US-Iran Joint Return to JCPOA

Earlier on Monday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed Iran would be just “a matter of weeks” away from building an atomic bomb if it further strayed from its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal. However, Tehran has dismissed the claims, saying it is sworn against producing such a weapon.

During an interview aired by CNN on Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif noted that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) contains a solution to the impasse between Tehran and Washington about the latter rejoining the deal and the former returning to its confines.

CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour asked Zarif how he thought the US and Iran could escape the “Mexican standoff” situation as each nation urges the other to return to the deal first.

“There can be a mechanism to basically either synchronize it or coordinate what can be done,” Zarif said.

“As you know, JCPOA has a mechanism built into the deal: that is the joint commission. And the joint commission has a coordinator. The coordinator has two hats - it used to be Federica Mogherini, now it is [European Union High Representative] Josep Borrell - he has two hats. One hat is representative of the European Union for foreign defense policy; the other hat is the coordinator of the joint commission. He can put [on] his hat as the coordinator of the joint commission and sort of choreograph the actions that are needed to be taken by the United States and the actions that are needed to be taken by Iran,” Zarif said.
