"I don't know anything about that," says Donald J. Trump,
whenever he's trying to back away from some failed plan. Now, he "doesn't know anything about Indiana," because that trick didn't work.
Feh!

She read the new restrictions (fascist demands) of the government, said to me this morning that she will never, ever go to a country with those conditions.
“It is unfortunate that the nation’s largest banks thought these harmful debanking policies were an appropriate use of their government-granted charter and market power. While many of these policies were undertaken in plain sight and even announced publicly, certain banks have continued to insist that they did not engage in debanking,” Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould said in a statement.
“Going forward, the OCC will hold banks accountable for these actions and ensure unlawful debanking does not continue,” Gould said.
The agency said its review remains ongoing and that it plans to hold the banks “accountable,” including potential referrals to the Justice Department.
The OCC issued a press release yesterday announcing the results of its preliminary investigation into nine banks regarding their practices of restricting, cutting off, or imposing extra burdens on certain customers. Donald Trump and many of his prominent supporters have suffered financial censorship in recent years, as have companies and whole industries despised by leftists.
The banks under investigation are U.S. Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank, and BMO Bank. They are the largest banks under OCC supervision, according to the press release.
Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould said, “The OCC is committed to ending efforts – whether instigated by regulators or banks – that would weaponize finance. Although our work continues, the OCC is today providing visibility into the debanking actions against customers and lawful businesses taken by the nation’s largest banks to ensure public awareness, and to halt these harmful and unfair practices.”

At least one bank, of which the name was not provided, restricted certain industries because they allegedly represented “activities that, while not illegal, are contrary to [the bank’s] values.” This included firearms, oil and gas, tobacco, coal mining, private prisons, and digital assets. In other words, the bank actually admitted to rejecting the customers because of ideological differences.
...
Donald Trump, his family, his attorney John Eastman, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell are among the famous victims of debanking. Holding the banks accountable is a free speech effort.
Thats nice.
Anyway...
Me? I'm sick of the attacks on men and masculinity by those that men and masculinity have benevolently made so comfortable, that they feel entitled to attack their own benefactors.
Show some gratitude.
Restrictions, you say? Be specific on what exactly is fascist.
Chicago Suburbs to Face Tighter Rules to Stop COVID-19: Pritzker
Gov. J.B. Pritzker imposed tighter restrictions designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus in suburban Chicago amid a sustained surge in COVID-19 cases that has shown no sign of slowing down.
The strict rules will take effect Wednesday in Regions 5, 7 and 8, which include Will, Kankakee, Kane and DuPage counties as well as the far southern tip of the state, Pritzker said Monday.
The coronavirus pandemic has continued to rage in those parts of the state during the past two weeks, when Pritzker imposed the first level of restrictions, which included a ban on indoor dining.
“The virus is winning the war,” Pritzker said.
Pritzker blamed the worsening state of the pandemic on residents who are not wearing masks, washing their hands and keeping 6 feet of distance from those who are not members of their households.
The governor also called on local officials to enforce the rules — calling it “good politics” while acknowledging that it would incense a vocal minority.

Not in the mood to look up the draconian arbitrary rules further by the deep Blue Democrat states during the height of the Chinese Wuhan Red Death, but I think y'all get my point.

A certain tourism loss
I can attest to this. A very close friend who has three dogs, only thought about visiting nephew and family in Philly. I volunteered to stay at her house.
She read the new restrictions (fascist demands) of the government, said to me this morning that she will never, ever go to a country with those conditions.
Mark this down for one (very white) woman who won't set foot in the USA.
