Wells Fargo Fires 5,300 Employees
And they did it all on their own.
On Thursday, federal regulators said Wells Fargo employees secretly created millions of unauthorized bank and credit card accounts — without their customers knowing it — since 2011.
The phony accounts earned the bank unwarranted fees and allowed Wells Fargo employees to boost their sales figures and make more money.
“Wells Fargo employees secretly opened unauthorized accounts to hit sales targets and receive bonuses,” Richard Cordray, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said in a statement.

Inflation Punishes the Stupid and the Entitled
“In other words say the government didn’t spend/lend $1 trillion annually on education and left it up to people to pay for it privately? What if Obama wasn’t taking another $700 billion of working people’s money to pay for the health care of the parasitic classes? What if you didn’t have every government guarantee backing up the housing industry? That would damn well take away 75-80% of the money flooding these markets and prices would drop by the same. People fret saying, “Well how can we pay for college/healthcare/housing/retirement/etc. without government help!?” but they fail to realize it’s government money that is precisely driving these costs up. If you simply took away this money (be it college, the stock market, healthcare, etc. etc.) prices would drop dramatically because there’s be TRILLIONS less in money chasing those same fixed amount of degrees, doctors, houses, and stocks.”
Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors
Armstrong considered Huffington “a critical element to HuffPost . . . and her name is a key [intellectual property] asset,” he wrote at the time. But his memo to the board also, in retrospect, reveals that Huffington had overshot in the performance projections that she presented to AOL. In 2010, the site generated nearly $31 million in revenue but made a profit of less than $1 million. In 2011, Huffington expected to double revenues, to $60 million, and profit was expected to balloon to $10 million–no doubt helping to justify the purchase price, which was still more than 30 times Huffington Post’s projected profits. Armstrong seemed convinced by Huffington’s prediction that her business would explode in the coming years. She projected the company’s revenue and profit would surge to $115 million and $36 million, respectively, in 2012, and increase to $203 million and $73 million, respectively, in 2015.

The line-ups for health treatment has grown to 18.3 weeks, double since 1993. Not enough money in our medical system. A powerful lobby doesn’t want you spending your own money on treatment, better you to stay sick for months to protect the “system”. Just like the only other country in the world that forbids private health care….. Communist North Korea.

“In 2022, if not before, Bavaria will face difficulties with its electricity supply,” Mario Mehren, Chairman of the board of Wintershall, said at the German Energy Congress in Munich. “At this time, when the last German nuclear power plants in Bavaria are taken off the grid, there will be an electricity generation shortfall of up to 4 gigawatts. Renewable energies cannot replace that, at least not at affordable and responsible prices.”

Allahu Akbar!
The owner of a car found near Notre Dame cathedral on Saturday containing several gas cylinders is on an intelligence services watchlist of people suspected of religious radicalisation, police officials say.
The Peugeot 607, which had no registration plates, contained seven gas cylinders, one of them empty on the front passenger seat. The car owner was taken into custody but later released, one judicial official said. […]
There was no detonating device present in the car, which was parked on Quai de Montebello, on the left bank of the Seine and just metres from Notre Dame cathedral, one of Paris’s many popular tourist attractions. Documents written in Arabic were found in the car.
Those crazy madcap jokers.
Here, Tell These People Something They Don’t Know About Me
If you haven’t noticed, our side has been losing consistently since 1988. We can win midterms, but we do nothing with them. Call ours Hannibalic victories. After the Carthaginian’s famous slaughter of a Roman army at Cannae, he failed to march on an undefended Rome, prompting his cavalry commander to complain: “you know how to win a victory, but not how to use one.” And, aside from 2004’s lackluster 50.7%, we can’t win the big ones at all.
Because the deck is stacked overwhelmingly against us. I will mention but three ways. First, the opinion-making elements–the universities and the media above all–are wholly corrupt and wholly opposed to everything we want, and increasingly even to our existence. (What else are the wars on “cis-genderism”–formerly known as “nature”–and on the supposed “white privilege” of broke hillbillies really about?) If it hadn’t been abundantly clear for the last 50 years, the campaign of 2015-2016 must surely have made it evident to even the meanest capacities that the intelligentsia–including all the organs through which it broadcasts its propaganda–is overwhelmingly partisan and biased. Against this onslaught, “conservative” media is a nullity, barely a whisper. It cannot be heard above the blaring of what has been aptly called “The Megaphone.”
Second, our Washington Generals self-handicap and self-censor to an absurd degree. Lenin is supposed to have said that “the best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” But with an opposition like ours, why bother? Our “leaders” and “dissenters” bend over backward to play by the self-sabotaging rules the Left sets for them. Fearful, beaten dogs have more thymos.
Third and most important, the ceaseless importation of Third World foreigners with no tradition of, taste for, or experience in liberty means that the electorate grows more left, more Democratic, less Republican, less republican, and less traditionally American with every cycle. As does, of course, the U.S. population, which only serves to reinforce the two other causes outlined above. This is the core reason why the Left, the Democrats, and the bipartisan junta (categories distinct but very much overlapping) think they are on the cusp of a permanent victory that will forever obviate the need to pretend to respect democratic and constitutional niceties. Because they are.
[…]
The sacredness of mass immigration is the mystic chord that unites America’s ruling and intellectual classes. Their reasons vary somewhat. The Left and the Democrats seek ringers to form a permanent electoral majority. They, or many of them, also believe the academic-intellectual lie that America’s inherently racist and evil nature can be expiated only through ever greater “diversity.” The junta of course craves cheaper and more docile labor. It also seeks to legitimize, and deflect unwanted attention from, its wealth and power by pretending that its open borders stance is a form of noblesse oblige. The Republicans and the “conservatives”? Both of course desperately want absolution from the charge of “racism.” For the latter, this at least makes some sense. No Washington General can take the court–much less cash his check–with that epithet dancing over his head like some Satanic Spirit. But for the former, this priestly grace comes at the direct expense of their worldly interests. Do they honestly believe that the right enterprise zone or charter school policy will arouse 50.01% of our newer voters to finally reveal their “natural conservatism” at the ballot box? It hasn’t happened anywhere yet and shows no signs that it ever will. But that doesn’t stop the Republican refrain: more, more, more! No matter how many elections they lose, how many districts tip forever blue, how rarely (if ever) their immigrant vote cracks 40%, the answer is always the same. Just like Angela Merkel after yet another rape, shooting, bombing, or machete attack. More, more, more!
This is insane. This is the mark of a party, a society, a country, a people, a civilization that wants to die. Trump, alone among candidates for high office in this or in the last seven (at least) cycles, has stood up to say: I want to live. I want my party to live. I want my country to live. I want my people to live. I want to end the insanity.
“… charge the cockpit or you die.”

The latest kick in the pants to the Malthusian doomsayers is a bumper global wheat harvest. Defying not only the Club of Rome doomsayers, but also the climate Chicken Littles who have been warning about damage from rising temperatures to world agriculture, food production is booming even as meteorologists call July 2016 the hottest month ever.
