Red Wave: Florida Flips Multiple ‘Woke’ School Boards from Liberal to Conservative

Florida flipped multiple woke school boards from liberal to conservative on Tuesday.

Conservatives in Florida are fighting back against the left’s mission to brainwash children.

The left is trying to force CRT, transgender propaganda and pronouns on young school kids.

The good guys won tonight.

“We saw massive election victories all throughout the state of Florida tonight,” 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky told Breitbart News Tuesday. “It shows the desire of parents and residents across the country for some normalcy in our education system, and that means pushing against transgender ideology, critical race theory, critical gender ideology, and equity which destroys merit in education.”

“The 1776 Project PAC hopes to take these successes across the country,” he said.

Sarasota County

“All three of our endorsed candidates in Sarasota County, Florida have WON their elections.” 1776 Project Pac announced on Tuesday night.

“We just flipped the school board from a 3-2 liberal majority to 4-1 conservative.”

Congrats to Bridget Ziegler, Robyn Marinelli, and Timothy Enos.

Based on what I’ve seen uncovered in the past week and a half since all The Pit researchers started digging into the Konnech info: When the FBI went digging into this they uncovered a massive scandal implicating the DOD and several intel/5 EYES intel agencies in either deliberately handing this open door into our elections to the CCP or they did it accidentally from incompetence.

Either way, the FBI was looking at a massive scandal that would implicate top DOD officials and Intel agency officials. They were faced with two options: pull the lid off this Pandora’s Box and pursue it where ever it led OR make it go away by flipping it on the whistleblowers who brought the Konnech data to them, Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote. You’ll NEVER guess which option the FBI brass decided on….

Fed Balance Sheet Shrinkage Kicks Into High Gear In September

The Fed began shrinking its balance sheet in June (at a pace which for various reasons many have found to be too slow but in reality is just as fast as had been expected, as we will explain tomorrow) and plans to double the pace at which it reduces its securities portfolio in September. And while there are ample reserves and liquidity for now, many prominent Wall Street strategists have warned that the Fed will have no choice but to end its QT much earlier than expected. (Because they also ponder the very same question..to whom will this (the non-maturing ones) be sold to-when the system shows up with over $3B to sell to the NYFRB and it only takes a much smaller portion of it-yesterday and today combined $890m-it is a completely legitimate question)

Fed to roll off as much as $95bn per month from September. The Fed allowed $30bn of Treasury and $17.5bn of mortgage-backed holdings to mature in June (and what is NOT mentioned is that regardless of who owned them they would have matured-that they own it and can call it QT is totally disingenuous imo) In September, the Fed will double that amount, increasing the caps or run-off amounts to $60bn per month for Treasuries and $35bn per month for mortgage-backed securities. The impact on yields, if any, has been overshadowed by macroeconomic concerns and volatile rate-strategy expectations. For now, the primary channel for monetary policy remains the fed funds rate.

2019 taught us that the Fed needs to maintain a flexible approach to its balance sheet policy. The size and pace of shrinkage should be tied to both economic performance and to controlling short-term rates that are intricately tied to its fed funds rate policy, such as repo rates for secured overnight lending. (And they are still 'parking' over $2T just in the reverse repo facility alone-not to mention the Securities Lending Facility is inching back up to $50B nightly as well see cap #1 and 2 (cap #1 from yesterday cap #2 is from today and completed already and today's Reverse Repo will be just as high)-bought $445M of MBS yesterday and today as well as the Securities Lending at $44.950B-and this had gotten back down into the low $30B level but now back up towards $50B just as the 'selling' is about to be purportedly begun as they say it has-but give them credit they said they would do it but as mentioned it remains to be seen if they do-and keep in mind that if you really wanted to crash the bond market this is how you would do it-show up with a supply that would never have a chance of being absorbed-thus spiking yields hard)

(they also gave an extension to the 1 year Bill and some smaller amounts-yesterday and that was $648m of those on top of the normal daily "Lending" Ops-see cap #3 under 'Extension') https://www.treasurydirect.gov/instit/annceresult/press/preanre/2022/R_20220222_3.pdf

The yellow amount at the bottom of cap #2 is what has "rolled" off and as already mentioned this would have habbened regardless of who owned it -$12,943,984.7')

Fed balance sheet liquidity for financial institutions at $5.5tn. In 2017-2019, the Fed’s balance sheet run-off shrank bank reserves held at the Fed from a peak of $2.36tn to $1.39tn in September 2019 when repo markets turned disorderly and broke out of the Fed’s desired rate corridor. Today, the Fed has over $5.5tn in reserves including $3.3tn of bank reserves held at the Fed and $2.2tn in the Fed’s overnight reverse repo programm that was created during the most recent expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet. (Digital 0s and 1s)

Consensus foresees slightly more than $2tn in balance sheet reduction: the Fed is expected to sustain its $60bn per month reduction of Treasury holdings until the end of 2023. After that, the pace of reduction may slow and cease by spring 2024. The Fed may independently sustain reductions of its MBS portfolio throughout 2024. Eventually, the Fed will need to buy Treasuries again to offset the reduction: the $64 trillion question is when.

The bank reserves and reverse repo program together need to shrink by more than $2tn in order to achieve total balance sheet reduction of $2tn, reduction which would lift the effective fed funds rate back toward the Fed’s interest on reserves (IOR)- (eventually the reverse repos will become repos and that will create a flood of FIAT-based $ as the US Treasuries come flying back in and they give them cash-that is not going to end well for us). If it continued to rise far above the IOR, the Fed’s standing repo facility would be activated and balance sheet reduction might be reversed, as in 2019. The sensitivity of rates to the volume of reserves in the system is lower (flatter curve) than in the 2017-19 episode

Items to monitor (and we know all the metrics they use are a complete fabrication and have been for decades)

1. Economic performance: this is linked more to rates but also the total size of the balance sheet. Weaker economic performance would first bring a halt to rate hikes, but then could slow or end balance sheet reduction.

1. Overnight rates moving outside the Fed’s corridor: the Fed wants to exert strong control over rates through its setting of the interest on reserves (IOR), the fed feds rate and repo rates. Abrupt changes could prompt adjustments in the IOR relative to the fed funds rate target and possible changes to the balance sheet policy if market rates become more volatile.

2. Relative holdings and specific liquidity issues: there is a concern about illiquidity in the Treasury and mortgage markets that could prompt changes in the Fed’s balance sheet strategy. Specifically, the Fed has raised the possibility of outright selling of mortgage-backed securities. The reason is that prepayments or maturities of these securities are largely determined by the borrower. Reducing its holdings by allowing maturities or pre-paid debt without rolling over might be slower than desired. Additionally, over time the Fed wants its portfolio of securities to be primarily Treasury holdings. We do not expect changes in its current roll-off strategy but are monitoring this. In 2024, we expect the Fed to initially slow the reduction of its Treasury holdings before halting the reductions. Eventually, the Fed should buy Treasury securities to offset reductions of the MBS holdings.

There are obviously arguments to be made of how they do this and disagreements as to what that actually looks like-but the bottom line is that they are massively manipulating these markets-especially the Mortgage Backed Securities portion in an effort to contain those rates so they can try to start the selling-which will fail spectacularly imo-but if it all was as good as (((they))) say it is why are they involved in creating so many of the results this way?-Regardless of the mechanics of any argument they shouldn't even be there in the first place

Judge poised to allow help for disabled Wisconsin voters

A federal court in Wisconsin is poised to allow voters with disabilities to receive assistance when returning their ballots this fall, despite state law ruling that cast doubt on such assistance and state law suggesting it is not allowed. Judge James D. Peterson said Wednesday that he expects to issue an order by early September that cites federal protections under the Voting Rights Act for disabled voters to receive assistance. Peterson said he wanted the order to be in place ahead of the November election. He said under current law, every option for voters who cannot return their own ballot "would result in some sort of injury."

Wisconsin governor calls for tax cut as rival tours Kenosha

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers proposed a $600 million annual tax cut on Tuesday — an election year proposal that Republican legislative leaders rejected as a "vote-buying ploy. Evers announced the proposed cut at the same time as his Republican rival, Tim Michels, was touring Kenosha on the second anniversary of sometimes violent protests over a police shooting. Michels has made Evers' reaction to the unrest in Kenosha a key plank of his campaign against the Democratic incumbent.

Economic Activity today: Housing and GDP forecast changeSummary of Mortgage Purchase Applications data and mortgage rates, GDPNOW (Atlanta FED) revised down, mortgage delinquencies rise but serious delinquencies drop..this is because moar have started to be late, Home prices drop most since 2011

MBA: Mortgage Applications Decrease in Latest Weekly Survey

Mortgage applications decreased 1.2 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending August 19, 2022.... The Refinance Index decreased 3 percent from the previous week and was 83 percent lower than the same week one year ago. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 1 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 2 percent compared with the previous week and was 21 percent lower than the same week one year ago. Mortgage applications continued to remain at a 22-year low, held down by significantly reduced refinancing demand and weak home purchase activity. Last week’s purchase results varied, with conventional applications declining 2 percent and government applications increasing 4 percent, which is potentially a sign of more first-time homebuyer activity. The average purchase loan size continued to trend lower, as purchase activity at the high end of the market is weakening,” said Joel Kan, MBA’s Associate Vice President of Economic and Industry Forecasting. “Mortgage rates increased for all loan types last week, with the benchmark 30-year fixed rate jumping 20 basis points to 5.65 percent – the highest in nearly a month.

Foreclosure Starts Pull Back in July, Holding Well Below Pre-Pandemic Levels, While Early-Stage Delinquencies Edge Slightly Higher

Black Knight reported Wednesday that the national mortgage delinquency rate was up to 2.89% in July-driven by a 4% increase in early-stage delinquencies – but remains just 14 basis points higher than the record low set in May of this year. Seriously delinquent loans 90 or more days past due declined in July. Black Knight's July 2022 mortgage data published Wednesday also showed foreclosure starts dropping 25% from June for a total of 17,700 foreclosure starts. According to the U.S. Census Bureau the median sales price for U,S, homes hit $439,400 in July. Prepayment activity dropped by another 18% in July and is now down by 67% from the same time last year as rising rates put downward pressure on both purchase and refinance lending

The National Association of Realtors reported Aug. 19 that housing is in a recession, with sales down almost 6% in July and down by 20% compared to a year ago.

In the continued energy saga of the Japanese have no choice news two things: payments will be changed to Rubles if the sanctions get 'stickier'-they will-really if they said you have to pay us in Papua New Guinean kina they would still be in that project and Mitsubishi buys into Sahkalin-a no brainer when this all kicked off months ago-how's that 'Rona doin' Kishida-San?

Russia asks Sakhalin-2 customers to pay in rubles if sanctions halt dollar use

Russia is telling customers of its Sakhalin-2 LNG plant in the country’s far east to pay in rubles or other currencies if sanctions lead to issues with payment in U.S. dollars, in the latest twist around the reshuffling of the project’s operator.

Buyers must use alternative currencies — including the ruble, euro, yen or British pound — if payment in dollars, as set in contracts, can’t be processed, according to documents seen by Bloomberg. The demand adds complexity for customers of the Sakhalin-2 project, mainly in Japan and South Korea, as they assess changes that Russia is proposing for deals from its oldest liquefied natural gas facility. The operator of Sakhalin-2 is reorganizing amid sanctions targeting Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, the global need for LNG is soaring, with Russia curbing pipeline supplies to Europe and countries stockpiling ahead of winter. Earlier this month, Russia set up a new operator, Sakhalin Energy LLC, after Moscow requested the transfer of the company from Bermuda to a new Russian entity, citing risks to the country’s interests and economic security. As part of the changes, customers were asked to pay Gazprombank JSC as a preferred bank. Prior to that they were asked to make other amendments, such as to the supplier’s entity name and address in their contracts. Gazprom PJSC owns just over 50% of Sakhalin Energy, while Gazprombank is the lending arm of Russia’s gas exporter.

The latest move around the currency obliges buyers to make “reasonable endeavors” to mitigate the risk of breaching sanctions, the documents show. Sakhalin Energy and Gazprom didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment outside of normal business hours. The Japanese government said Tuesday that it will maintain sanctions on Russia while working in tandem with other Group of Seven nations. The war in Ukraine is set to enter its seventh month with no end in sight. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has instructed ministers and senior ministry officials to craft measures that address the hikes in energy prices prompted by the ongoing war.

Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters after that meeting that Kishida has instructed him to continue Japan’s “diplomatic responses,” including imposing sanctions. The countries have also vowed to phase out their dependence on Russian energy resources.(rotsa ruck on that one-you aren't even close with the Tunisian stuff so you are stuck with this for the foreseeable future)

Mitsubishi set to join new Sakhalin-2 Russian operator

Trading house, along with Mitsui, responds to Tokyo's call to ensure LNG supply. Mitsubishi Corporation is set to issue a notice that it will participate in the new operating company for Sakhalin-2, a resource development project in the Russian Far East, Nikkei has learned. In August, Russia transferred operation of the project to a new company, forcing Japanese participants Mitsui & Co. and Mitsubishi to decide whether they would continue their investment. Mitsui has also decided it will announce its continued participation in Sakhalin-2. Both companies are expected to announce their plans by the end of the month while closely watching developments in Russia.

10,000 Ukrainian refugees expected to arrive in NYC: immigration official

About 10,000 Ukrainian refugees are expected to arrive in New York City after fleeing the deadly Russian invasion of their country, the city’s top immigration official said Wednesday.

Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Manuel Castro revealed the eye-popping number while speaking to reporters at the Port Authority Bus Terminal following the arrival of five buses carrying migrants sent north by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
