The Fed entrenches the power of the banks without accountability inside Washington. Trump has been pounding the Fed and threatening to take away Chairman Powell's Chair for months. He is demanding sharp reductions in interest rates.

As the size and severity of the corporate crime wave surges, Congress is asleep at the switch.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent almost two years to produce a $25 million report that is a flat tire. Still unreleased in full to the American people.
What a farce and distraction this whole exercise turned out to be! Mueller's assigned subject was Trump. So, does this prosecutor demand to interview Trump, to subpoena Trump? No. Does this special investigator conclude with any legal recommendations at all? No.
