Trudeau is a monster and I don’t use PayPal. But, it does give one pause to reflect on how much of our lives are in the hands of people who may tolerate us at best and absolutely loathe us at worst. And if you don’t quite trust your bank anymore, there is a solution. And it is coming from one of the most unlikely of sources.
Country music singer John Rich of Big and Rich fame is starting a bank. It is called Old Glory Bank, and you can get started at the website. Larry Elder and Dr. Ben Carson
...
a neurosurgeon who was under the delusion that being brilliant qualifies him to be president....have also joined Rich in the effort.
Rich told John Solomon, "People are getting their credit cards turned off if they go to the wrong protest or if they make the wrong social media posts. They’ve weaponized our bank accounts basically, at this point. There’s a whole group of real patriotic Americans who just believe in freedom of speech, and they wanted to create a new platform for regular Americans to be able to do their business." Elder said "We offer full online banking services. So those of you who were threatened with having your accounts shut down or you’re with banks that have threatened to have others shut down and you don’t like the values of your bank, there’s a home for you at Old Glory Bank."
The really great thing about what Rich, Elder, and Carson are doing is that it is quintessentially American. They looked at the state of affairs and said, "To hell with this, we’re starting our own bank." It reminds me of a situation in the town I lived in during my radio days. The owner of the local newspaper died. The paper was bought and then subsequently staffed by some of the most odious left-wing reptiles that had ever slithered out of the primordial ooze of a student union. One of the residents decided that he was sick and tired of his town, his neighbors, and the oilfield being trashed by this group of post-pubescent gremlins and started his own paper. It gave the other paper a run for its money, so much so that the narcissistic gargoyles were asked to seek employment elsewhere. I’m guessing they started blogs.
