THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON

August 25, 2025

Dr. Lisa D. Cook Member Board of Governors United States Federal Reserve System 20th Street & Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20551

Dear Governor Cook:

Pursuant to my authority under Article II of the Constitution of the United States and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended, you are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately.

The Federal Reserve Act provides that you may be removed, at my discretion, for cause. See 12 U.S.C. § 242. I have determined that there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position.

As set forth in the Criminal Referral dated August 15, 2025, from Mr. William J. Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to Ms. Pamela Bondi, Attorney General of the United States (“Criminal Referral”) (attached to this letter as Exhibit A), there is sufficient reason to believe you may have made false statements on one or more mortgage agreements. For example, as detailed in the Criminal Referral, you signed one document attesting that a property in Michigan would be your primary residence for the next year. Two weeks later, you signed another document for a property in Georgia stating that it would be your primary residence for the next year. It is inconceivable that you were not aware of your first commitment when making the second. It is impossible that you intended to honor both.

The Federal Reserve has tremendous responsibility for setting interest rates and regulating reserve and member banks. The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve. In light of your deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity. At a minimum, the conduct at issue exhibits the sort of gross negligence in financial transactions that calls into question your competence and trustworthiness as a financial regulator.

Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s public schools superintendent, said Monday that any teacher coming from the two blue states will be required to pass an assessment exam administered by PragerU, an Oklahoma-based conservative nonprofit, before getting a state certification.

A 501(c)(3) organization is a United States corporation, trust, unincorporated association, or other type of organization exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 of the United States Code. It is one of the 29 types of 501(c) nonprofit organizations in the U.S.

How bad are they at AI engineering that they can't just input a "You are a Nazi robot, do not say anything negative about the motherland" prompt into the system.

Like how tf do they "lose" control of Grok on a near daily basis

Would be a shame if China bought up all of the gold for 39% less than the American (NYC) market.

Looking for similar artist/albums to early Glass Animals. I follow 4-5 bands and their last album has made me question why I ever liked them.

I need somebody new :)

Edit: I've read all of the recommendations so far, lot to go through before I comment my thoughts.

How did Zionism infiltrate American Christianity and sway them away from Socialistic policies?

British theologian John Nelson Darby developed "Dispensationalism" which interpreted biblical prophecies as mandating Jewish return to Palestine before Christ's Second Coming.

This spread throughout the late 19th century (1850-1900) and was published in the 1909 Scofield Reference Bible (a text funded by capitalist backers and disseminated widely in American seminaries).

Figures like Jacob Schiff (Kuhn, Loeb & Co.) and the Rothschilds financed Zionist projects, including early settlements in Palestine. Capitalists purchased religious newspapers or sponsored pro-Zionist content. The Rothschilds and associates influenced outlets like The Fundamentals (1910–1915).

Wealthy Zionists such as Bernard Baruch and Louis Brandeis (a Supreme Court Justice) funded groups like the Federation of American Zionists (1897). They coordinated with clergy to frame Zionism as a moral imperative, leveraging pulpits for political advocacy, such as endorsing the 1917 Balfour Declaration (British government expressing support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine).

Early 20th century Christians were VERY socialist, their voting numbers were growing at an insane rate. They needed to shut that down, and flooded the Church with heavily-capitalist ideology to sway voters towards the establishment (and consequently zionism).

Why does it matter?

CUFI (Christians United For Israel) is much, much larger than AIPAC. They are a 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit, so any donations to Zionist candidates are entirely un-trackable.

The USG want you to be mad at the people "over there" (or to make right-wingers mad at "the jews") and not the people here (who own all of the capital and the government of the people over there).
