Bank of America could collapse in 2024 – Take a look
Bank of America, a cornerstone in the American financial landscape, is now under intense scrutiny. With a series of troubling financial reports and industry upheavals, the question on everyone’s mind is: Could 2024 be the year this banking giant collapse?
The bank’s net income nosedived over 50% to $3.1 billion, compared to $7.1 billion a year earlier. While some may brush this off as a rough patch, the numbers speak volumes about deeper issues. Revenue, too, took a hit, falling to $22.1 billion against the expected $23.74 billion. This isn’t just missing the mark; it’s a financial red flag waving in the face of investors and analysts alike.

The U.S. economy could face ‘a perfect storm’ if Basel III Endgame goes into effect. Here’s why
The capital regulation plan known as Basel III Endgame will increase capital requirements by 20% or more for the eight largest U.S. banks. This is an excessive move, considering the tripling of high-quality capital for these banks over the past 15 years. Higher capital requirements, as noted by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, raise the cost of–and reduce access to–credit.
The plan will certainly compound the burden of higher post-pandemic interest rates, particularly for those with lower incomes. Americans will have a harder time getting a loan, securing a mortgage, or saving for their retirement or a child’s college education.

Number of animals illegally killed in Utah dropped, but citations rose in 2023
KSL Comments - In northern Utah there were not any animals big enough to shoot. Our fish and game really messed up. They should have fed the deer and elk. Instead of managing animals so we have some in the future, all they care about is money. We lost 50 per cent of the elk and yet they issued cow elk permits. The herds, especially deer will be at least 10 years to come back if ever. I hope if the snow gets deep very fast the fish and game feed to elk in the Coalville area so the elk don't get killed on the freeway this year… I've lost any faith or trust in our DWR. Now we have documented wolf populations in 3, possibly 4, surrounding states DWR has failed to do anything regarding wolves- so much for protecting our deer and other wildlife.

Mr. Yeh said that the CCP may focus on the remaining countries in central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caribbean, which need cash and aren’t aligned with U.S. values.

Texas National Guard Uses Riot Shields to Protect Themselves Amid Biden Border Crisis
