Another one of President Joe Biden’s cabinet nominees is being exposed as radical. Saule Omarova, Biden’s choice to lead the Office of the Controller of the Currency (OCC), is a progressive pick who seeks to ramp up the federal government’s control of banks.
Omarova recently argued for a Federal Reserve takeover of consumer bank depositing, which would change banking “as we know it,” via The Wall Street Journal: In a recent paper “The People’s Ledger,” she proposed that the Federal Reserve take over consumer bank deposits, “effectively ‘end banking,’ as we know it,” and become “the ultimate public platform for generating, modulating, and allocating financial resources in a modern economy.” She’d also like the U.S. to create a central bank digital currency—as Venezuela and China are doing—to “redesign our financial system & turn Fed’s balance sheet into a true ‘People’s Ledger,’” she tweeted this summer. What could possibly go wrong? (WSJ) Senate Republicans are sounding the alarm on yet another controversial nomination from Biden.
“Joe Biden’s nominee to regulate banks praised Soviet communism. She wants to ‘end banking as we know it.’ She’s unqualified and a terrible choice. Yet another broken promise from Joe Biden,” Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) wrote on Twitter.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) also echoed concerns about Omarova’s socialist views. Saule Omarova, Biden’s pick for the OCC, is a radical threat to our economy.
She has pushed for gov’t to have a more invasive role in banking, wants to nationalize consumer banks, and has called to “effectively end banking as we know it.” — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) September 28, 2021 Republicans have managed to torpedo a couple of Biden’s radical nominees, including Neera Tanden to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
