They really think the authorities could just print a fraudulent warrant, and no one would notice?
Nine of the country's biggest banks spent five years running an outrageous campaign to cut conservatives, Christians, pro-lifers, and Trump supporters out of the financial system, and the federal government now has the receipts.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released its Debanking Review on Wednesday. Miranda Devine first broke the story in the New York Post. The 47-page report, titled "Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans," draws on a hundred thousand complaints and fifty thousand internal bank records from 2020 through 2025. It names JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank, and BMO Bank.
Every one of them hid behind the same excuse: "reputation risk."
What did these banks fear? Bad press, protests, attacks from activist outfits like the Southern Poverty Law Center, and retaliation from regulators and politicians. So they purged anyone who might draw that heat. Christian organizations lost service over their views on abortion, LGBT issues, and traditional family values. Gun makers and retailers, Arctic oil and gas, coal, detention facilities, tobacco, and e-cigarette companies all saw financing dry up.
A whole clan of Somali warlord pirates could be heading for legal trouble, as the Department of Justice has issued subpoenas to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) family, including her accused fraudster sister.
The federal probe so far has investigated Omar‘s immigration paperwork and possibly taxpayer funding fraud in connection with her late father, her brother, and her sister, so it is not surprising that her living family members are now receiving subpoenas. Part of the issue is also a request from Omar’s staff to change her birth year after she went into Congress. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro confirmed to Fox that there are multiple investigations into Omar, including for inflating net worth and immigration fraud.
A state law enforcement officer used a confidential police database to dig up information on coworkers, relatives and local officials.
The unnamed “high-ranking” officer searched the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) for the home addresses and vehicles of six other employees without a legitimate business need, California State Auditor Grant Parks’ office found in a report released Oct. 1. This follows Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s veto of a bill in Oct. 2025 that would have required public agencies to document employee searches of license plate reader data and cap how long they can keep the data.
“A high‑ranking law enforcement officer misused access to a confidential law enforcement database by looking up information about himself, his family members, agency staff, and vehicles without a business purpose for doing so,” the report stated in the Unnamed State Agency section. “We are not naming the agency that is the subject of this report because doing so may identify or lead to the identification of the individuals mentioned in the report, which would violate state law.”
Using CLETS, this officer also ran searches on a deputy district attorney, a county supervisor and 65 vehicles listed for sale online, according to the report. A family member then bought one of the vehicles.
Far-Left environmental groups sought to organize opposition to a bipartisan Senate permitting reform bill and keep their strategy from the Democratic lawmakers who negotiated it, according to a leaked transcript of a coalition call.
“We really have to have a pretty clear agreement by all parties that this is an effort to stop this bill, not to make it better,” Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said during the call.
The call, organized in part by the Sierra Club, drew 89 participants as environmental organizations debated how to respond to the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026. The legislation, introduced on September 30, was negotiated by Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) alongside Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).
The bill would overhaul federal environmental review and permitting procedures, establish deadlines for reviews and legal challenges, and provide greater certainty for projects that have already secured permits and financing. Its supporters argue that the changes would reduce delays, expand energy infrastructure, and help lower costs while retaining environmental and historic preservation safeguards.

Hartl later confirmed the transcript’s authenticity to Punchbowl and defended his remarks.
“I don’t want our strategy being relayed back to them, and now it is,” he told the outlet. “Someone on the call decided to betray all of us.”
Much of the opposition centered on provisions intended to make federal permits more durable and restrict the ability of courts and future administrations to revisit approved projects.

... During the call, an advocate with the National Wildlife Federation warned that once a project received authorization and a record of decision, the legislation would sharply restrict subsequent changes.
“Once a project is authorized and there’s a ROD, there are no changes whatsoever, period, to anything. Ever at any time ever,” the participant said, referring to a formal step in the federal environmental review process.
The legislation, however, does not simply prohibit every subsequent change under every circumstance. Its stated purpose is to provide greater certainty for permitted projects, while the sponsors describe exceptions for extraordinary circumstances, violations of law, and court orders.

What law? The occupants don’t have to let them in, but ICE can enter if they have a judicial warrant, and I believe the same goes for “jusiciasl” warrants as well.

tale...A 32-year-old transgender woman stabbed a man to death at an Avalon Park gas station after he allegedly made comments about her gender, prosecutors said, as her spouse and 7-year-old son looked on. Surveillance video allegedly showed Kelly Day stabbing 50-year-old Larry Young 13 times, pausing once to adjust her grip on the knife.
Prosecutors said Day had been mocked by unidentified people for using a women’s restroom on the evening of October 7. She later told her spouse she was “tired of all these bullies making comments about her gender,” according to the detention filing. About 7:30 p.m., while Day, her spouse, and their 7-year-old son were walking along the 1400 block of West 87th Street, Young approached and began commenting on Day’s gender, prosecutors said.
Day became “extremely angry” and began arguing with Young as her spouse tried to pull her away, but she refused to leave. Young pushed Day with his hands and walked away, crossing to the north side of the street toward a gas station.
Major banks closed accounts and refused credit to MAGA merchants, pro-life causes, religious groups, conservative organizations and sectors disfavored by the Biden administration, such as firearms, oil and gas, and private prisons, a bombshell report from the federal banking regulator has found.
The Debanking Review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) investigated 100,000 complaints and scrutinized 50,000 internal bank records to reveal how customers were "debanked" based purely on their political, social, or religious beliefs.
JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank, and BMO Bank were found to have discriminated against American consumers, citing "reputation risk" as a reason to deny service between 2020 and 2025.
Negative press, protests, criticism from advocacy groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, and reprisals from regulators or politicians were cited as the reputation risks most feared by the banks.
The 47-page OCC report, "Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans," released Wednesday, found that the nation's largest banks targeted Christian organizations over abortion, LGBTQ issues, and traditional family values.
The banks also restricted financing for "disfavored" industries such as firearms makers and retailers, Arctic oil and gas, coal, detention facilities, tobacco and e-cigarettes.
Among the examples in the report is JPMorgan Chase's payment operation, WePay, closing the account of a merchant that sold merchandise promoting President Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) brand, claiming it "promote[d] hate, violence, or racial intolerance."
The bank's internal screening system regularly flagged terms such as "MAGA," "Make America Great," and "America First" that appeared in merchants' customer profiles, websites, and transaction information. Several of the terms used to find "violations" were added after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
