September 11, 2024 | Kamala’s Phycological Warfare & Eating Cats & Dogs

    COMMENT #3: Thank you for your interesting feedback on the debate; I was also very surprised at how well Kamala performed. She appeared calm and collected.

September 11, 2024 | The Florida State Sunshine Bank: How a State-Owned Bank Can Protect Free Speech

Fifteen years have passed since the Occupy Wall Street movement focused attention on the inequities and hazards of large Wall Street banks, particularly those risky banks with trillions of dollars in derivatives on their books. “Move your money” was the obvious response, but what could local governments do?
