Dave Boyer The Washington Times, Mar. 19, 2023 “The banks’ troubles have been blamed in part on the Fed’s rapid series of rate hikes, which reduced the value of their long-term debt.” Fears that another interest rate hike will hasten more bank failures will loom over the Federal Reserve’s meeting this week after a study found […]

Paul Sperry NY Post, Mar. 17, 2023 “SVB’s board is packed with Trump-hating Hillary, Biden and Obama donors obsessed with “equity and diversity.” Wokeness has replaced competence and merit across the banking sector, and San Francisco Fed Chief Mary Daly is the poster child of this pernicious trend. A protege of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and short-list […]
Jason Zweig WSJ, Mar. 17, 2023 “Even as rules have proliferated and bailouts multiplied, the U.S. stock market has suffered four crashes of least 20% since the year 2000.” Don’t panic. That’s the message financial regulators are sending—and it is barely working. In the past week, U.S. authorities promised to back uninsured deposits at the failed Silicon Valley […]
Allysia Finley WSJ, Mar. 19, 2023 “Why shouldn’t Silicon Valley have to bear some pain as the central bank corrects the ultra-loose monetary policies that enriched its technocratic class?” Imagine a bank in Houston that caters to the oil-and-gas industry.

Tom Basile Washington Times, Mar. 17, 2023 “Twenty years on, we owe it to our military, our civilians and ourselves as we face new threats together to take a more honest look at the successes of the War on Terrorism and our mission in Iraq.’ This week marks the 20th anniversary of the beginning of our […]
Gerard Baker WSJ, Mar. 20, 2023 “The promulgation of the WMD fictions, the Abu Ghraib horrors, the catastrophically inept initial occupation and administration—all undid in a matter of months the post-Cold War authority and heft the U.S. had earned over decades.” Some of those who supported the invasion of Iraq 20 years ago this […]
Simona Foltyn Boston Review, Mar. 15, 2023 “… the government’s role in the August clashes deserves closer examination, not least because prime minister Kadhimi was Washington’s man in Baghdad.” Abbas stood in front of the state television station when the first bullet whizzed by. The thirty-something had been deployed there alongside hundreds of other soldiers […]
Huaisal Saeed Al Mutar The Free Press, Mar. 21, 2023 “For all that, for all the chaos America, for all the dislocation, for the grief that will never leave me, I don’t harbor any ill will toward America.” My eldest brother, Samir al Mutar, was born in August 1980. He was a talented computer engineer […]

Alwaght, Mar. 5, 2023 “The presence of the members of the Hamas political office in Damascus indicates the return of relations with Syria to what it was before.” Amid broadening insecurity and clashes between the Israelis and the Palestinian groups in various parts of the occupied West Bank and only a week after Naqab […]
Yoav Limor Israel Hayom, Mar. 16, 2023 “This policy of engaging in transnational activity has been a characteristic trait of Hamas policy in recent years.” There is broad consensus within Israel’s intelligence community that the upcoming festival of Ramadan, due to commence in exactly one week’s time, will be even more volatile than usual […]
Tony Badran Tablet, Mar. 8, 2023 “Providing the Palestinians with guns and bullets, and the training to use them effectively, appears to be the point of the Biden administration’s plan.” While the Biden administration has been busy encouraging and funding the Israeli protest movement against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed judicial reforms, it has also launched a far more potentially […]
Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Mar. 16, 2023 “The desire to commit suicide among the [Muslim] residents of the West Bank is unprecedented, and the state of resistance in the West Bank is excellent. So is the state of national unity in the face of the occupation.” Sometime on March 11 […]
