An FBI dossier says that signs of ‘online extremism’ include terms such as “based,” “Chad” and “Stacy,” the use of which could end up putting someone on a watchlist.

The BOJ Is Collecting Tens Of Billions In Dividends From ETFs It Owns
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Apr 10, 2023 - 04:40 PM
By Hideyuki Sano, Bloomberg markets live reporter and strategist
Amid all the scrutiny on the massive amount of debt the Bank of Japan owns, the new governor’s stance toward the 48 trillion yen ($364 billion) of stocks it holds is coming into focus too. Those shares, held through ETFs, have acted as an overhang in the market amid speculation that Kazuo Ueda will embark on policy normalization.
The ETFs, which had unrealized gains of 11 trillion yen in the six months to September, may stay his hand though by acting as a hedge against potential losses from bonds, says Norihiro Fujito, chief investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
Also at play is the rich dividends the holdings provide, almost quadrupling to more than 1 trillion yen through September from the same period five years earlier, according to the BOJ’s earnings reports.

Still too many "damn shorts"?

SPX is still trapped inside the big range, but note we are close to that magical 4150 resistance. There is the big negative trend line that has been in place since August highs, as well as the short term channel that has been in place since March lows. Time to break out of this trapped situation sooner than later...

Ng: ‘A Man for All Seasons’ Resonates Anew for Trump Supporters Following New York Indictment
Holy Week is always a good excuse to revisit A Man for All Seasons.
The passion of Sir Thomas More (played by the great Paul Scofield) unfolds like a religious parable crossed with a legal thriller, told with a Shakespearean sense of tragic grandeur. Frequently described as a “conservative” movie — a label that has been used to both praise and denigrate it — the 1966 Oscar winner for best picture is resonating anew for conservatives following the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Is Trump our modern version of the martyred Sir Thomas More? Some pro-Trump influencers have made the connection. In the days leading to his arraignment in New York, they tweeted scenes from the movie, including More’s climactic trial in which he stands indicted for high treason after holding steadfast to his Catholic faith and refusing to acknowledge King Henry VIII’s divorce and role as head of the Church of England. In an earlier scene also making the social media rounds, More warns against abusing the law to persecute one’s political enemies.
“Yes, I give the devil benefit of the law — for my own safety’s sake,” he says, in what is the movie’s most-quoted line.

You'll never guess which state just ruled gun confiscation 'red flag' laws unconstitutional
By D. Parker
The hideous laws designed to violate almost all parts of the Bill of Rights are finally being struck down as unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court of the State of New York, the state's second highest court, recently ruled the state's so-called "red flag" law unconstitutional. These unconstitutional gun confiscation schemes go by different designations, but they are colloquially known as red flag laws. The gun-grabbing ghouls of the far left are creative in describing their operation.
Anyone supportive of individual liberty and our commonsense civil rights has been horrified at how these authoritarian abominations violate almost all aspects of the Bill of Rights. Even worse, they signal a new era in gun control and selective enforcement of the law.
Anti-liberty authoritarians started with a direct violation of everyone's commonsense civil right of self-defense by crafting gun confiscation laws without due process. But don't ever expect them to utter the C-word; they've worn out their dictionaries and thesauruses, looking for soft-sounding alternatives to the word "confiscation," even though that is exactly what is taking place. This was coupled with the evisceration of the people's right to due process, so right off the bat, they violated the 2nd and 5th Amendments without breaking a sweat.
Then just to sweeten the deal, they've executed these unconstitutional atrocities with ex parte ("from one party") proceedings, as the Legal Information Institute of Cornell Law School states:
Typically, a court will be hesitant to make an ex parte motion. This is because the Fifth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee a right to due process, and ex parte motions — due to their exclusion of one party — risk violating the excluded party's right to due process.
So the great news is that the first time you'll find out that the guns you own (or allegedly own) are to be confiscated will be at 4:30 A.M., when a SWAT team smashes in your front door. If you and your pets survive that ordeal, there is also the violation of the equal protection of the law (another aspect against the 14th Amendment).
Never being satisfied with just destroying a couple of commonsense civil rights, these laws were cobbled together with assaults on 4th Amendment rights against illegal search and seizure with that 4:30 A.M. raid. So this is "cruel and unusual punishment" (8th Amendment) against completely innocent people. Then, of course, the ex parte aspect of these laws violates the 6th Amendment "right to confront witnesses."
Then there is the lovely prospect of the process being the punishment, even if you don't own any guns. That situation would probably be far worse, since the authorities will feel obligated to tear your house apart to find what doesn't exist. Good luck getting them to pay for all the damage and putting it back together. And since one of these unconstitutional punishments can be set upon you for something you said, we'll add the 1st Amendment as well.
So there you have it: one set of laws that essentially violate most of the Bill of Rights, used against people who haven't violated the law. But that's not even the worst aspect of all of this. Unconstitutional red flag gun confiscation orders along with unconstitutional enhanced background checks and safe storage requirements signal a new era in gun control. With these new types of restrictions on freedom, selective enforcement can be the standard, with just one side being deprived of its commonsense civil rights.
Blanket bans and prohibitions used to be the norm, whereby the gaslighting ghouls would try to take all of one type of gun out of circulation. Now, while they still pay lip service to "assault weapon" bans, the mantra always seems to be the trifecta of tyranny: unconstitutional red flag gun confiscation orders, unconstitutional enhanced background checks, and unconstitutional safe storage requirements (note the common theme in all of that).
Unconstitutional controls on private property with enhanced background checks will see a push for unconstitutional gun registration. Unconstitutional safe storage requirements will require you to keep your guns in one inconvenient place, ready for quick confiscation when needed. Then, with all of that in place, all they have to do is go down the list looking for the people they dislike and confiscate their guns. They will which people are "safe," because they are loyal leftists, and whom to raid. Isn't that nice?
But now all of that is falling apart. Several rulings have finally and logically determined that red flag gun confiscation schemes are unconstitutional — in New York State, no less.
Let's hope the freedom trend continues and these laws are struck down everywhere, and we are finally rid of this threat to individual liberty.

had the same reaction- so much so...
was just speechless........

Just respectful and the best to all on this day.

PS..........
Someone I know had a pretty hairy near miss in traffic...
it genuinely was a bad situation....
now even still more than 20 minutes after
this "CHILD of the MOST HIGH GOD" was so shaken
they had tears in their eyes, was goddaming the naughty over and over....
and literally still shaking.....from it..........
bit my tongue which wanted to say
But you would've gone to be with Jesus....!!!
and ended all your suffering here!!!
oh yes, it would've definitely been an ending of life here
had it happened....to the detriment of most of those involved
including a head on with a fully loaded Tractor Trailer rig on
a blind curve........
No gratefulness for having survived the near miss....
it was a situation where you just listened and kept your mouth shut....
which is why am reminded of it on this day....
The Fear of Death had quite overcome that person.....
and the message of today....is well.....quite the opposite.......
If you're gonna say you're a Christian.....
you need to really be one.....in ALL facets of being one...

especially compassion.....cuz that's what's most important......
according to Paul who was Saul......
and not be judgmental and condemning of others...
kinda doubt 1st Century Christians were that way......
mebbe it was a good thing they didn't have bibles to hit people over the head with

Billionaire Investor Moves Headquarters Out Of Blue State Over New Law
by ProTrumpNews Staff Apr. 8, 2023 5:30 pm
Fisher Investments announced it was relocating its headquarters from Washington state to Texas.
The announcement came after the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that a capital gains tax was constitutional.
Fisher is one of the largest employers in Clark County, Washington with around 1,800 employees working for them.
KGW reported (3/28/23):
Read: One Way To Keep Your Family Fed In A Crisis
Fisher Investment is relocating its headquarters from Camas to Texas after the Washington State Supreme Court ruled Friday that a capital gains tax is constitutional.
In a one-sentence news release on Friday after the ruling, Fisher said, “In honor of the Washington State Supreme Court’s wisdom and knowledge of the law, and in recognition of whatever it may do next, Fisher Investments is immediately moving its headquarters from Washington State to Texas.”
…
Fisher is one of the largest employers in Clark County with around 1,800 employees. Despite moving the headquarters, Fisher told KGW it will not close its Camas office but some staff will transfer to its office in Plano, Texas. The company says it currently has 1,200 employees in Plano. Ken Fisher, the firm’s executive chairman who founded Fisher Investments in 1979, lives in Dallas.
In a 7-2 vote on Friday, the Washington State Supreme Court upheld a tax for the state’s top investment earners that passed in 2021. It collects a 7% tax on profits made from stocks, bonds and other high-end assets in excess of $250,000 for both individuals and couples.
He joined Stuart Varney to discuss why he left.
Fisher said that the move was not about tax but “about law.”
VIDEO (partial transcript below)
From the video above:
“Ken Fisher: If they can do this to the law, which is clearly a bizarre reading of the law, I mean this is a legal thing, not a political thing, If they can do this to the law they can do any other crazy thing and the fact is if you wanna call murder petty theft it doesn’t make it petty theft and no business outta wanna be subject to ruling on that kind of basis.”
Fox News reported:
Ken Fisher, the billionaire investor and chairman of Fisher Investments, made it clear on “Varney & Co.” Wednesday that the reasoning behind his latest business decision isn’t so much about politics or taxes, but rather law and order.
“We’ve got lots and lots and lots of states that have capital gains taxes on the left and on the right. California on the left at the highest, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, on the left Illinois,” Fisher told host Stuart Varney. “You can go left, right, capital gains tax isn’t so much. This is about law. [Let me] be real clear. This is about law.”
But Fisher argued Washington’s new “excise tax” is hiding its true identity as a capital gains “income” tax.
“The fact of the matter is, it’s an income tax. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts, flies like a duck, it’s probably a duck,” Fisher said. “But if it’s got the DNA of a duck, it is a duck. And calling a duck a kangaroo doesn’t make it one. It makes the court one.”

‘Spy Kids’ Star Alexa PenaVega on Talking a Teen Mom Out of Abortion and Leaving Hollywood: ‘We Didn’t Want to Raise Our Kids in LA, It was God’
Actress Alexa PenaVega, the star of the Spy Kids movie series, says God inspired her and her husband to leave Los Angeles behind. Now, still and working actor, she’s not only a proud believer in the pro-life movement, she even helped a young woman decide to chose life over having an abortion.
PenaVega spoke of her pro-life positions in an interview with podcaster Christine Yeargin to whom she relayed the amazing story of saving a baby whose life was on the edge of being aborted.
PenaVega told Yeargin “I honestly believe that you either believe in life as life as a whole, and you see babies, whether babies are in the womb or outside of the womb, as life or you don’t. And… once life begins — that is a whole baby. That is a beautiful life, and for me, I will do whatever it takes to protect that.”
