WASHINGTON — At Nativity grade school, we grew up steeped in the lore — and gore — of martyrs. For their brave deeds and words, these men and women were stoned, crucified, beheaded, stripped of all their skin, shot with arrows and cooked alive on a red-hot griddle. So I’m a little surprised my siblings would somehow put Donald Trump in those martyrs’ sainted company. My sister and brother, disturbed by Trump’s constant chaos and slashing insults, saw their hopes for Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley evaporate. I called my Republican sibs Friday to see if hearing the word “guilty” ring out 34 times in a New York courtroom had finally severed them from Trump; they are, after all, children of a police detective.

My 100-year-old father is about to marry a 75-year-old woman who is a three-time widow. My siblings are going, but I’m heartbroken by what I fear this union will do to our father and our family. I don’t see how I can put on a phony smile and hug a three-time black widow as she marries No. If you’re worried that his health is declining in his 101st year because he isn’t exercising as much, see if there’s a way that you might be able to help with this. Yes, they’re worried that someone is making a bad decision, but they also feel hurt that their perspective hasn’t been properly valued.

☆ ‘Moonshine’ Review: CW’s Knockabout Nova Scotia Dramedy

Peter MacNeill in ‘Moonshine’ Photo: Michael Tompkins/Entertainment OneThe kernel of the conflict stirring the mixed nuts of “Moonshine” is that hippies had kids. Ken and Bea Finley-Cullen ( Peter MacNeill and Corrine Koslo ) have for years operated the ever-so-ramshackle Moonshine lake resort in fictional Foxton, Nova Scotia, where they reared their barefoot brood and watched them grow into various varieties of delinquency. Statistically, one of the many kids was bound to turn out “normal,” and the rest of the sibs resent her. It is a clever concept for a dysfunctional family dramedy, despite its echoes of “The Munsters.”

☆ In the Market: Why US regional banks are doomed to a doom loop
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Paritosh Bansal | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

REUTERS/Brian SnyderMay 15 (Reuters) - Banking regulators have been pushed by market volatility in recent weeks into doing things that they haven't really wanted to do, like letting the largest U.S. bank get even bigger. Take the case of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC), one of the main banking regulators. These banks provide credit to vast sections of the U.S. economy, and deposit flight has forced them to pull back on lending. They have provided banks with lifelines that give them enough cash to meet deposit withdrawals, for example. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Saturday that nearly all banks had access to sufficient liquidity but pressure on earnings may lead to some midsize bank deals.

☆ Why the US needs regional banks
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-14 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

But those mega-banks lack the dexterity and regional specialization that small businesses crave, which is partly why Corporate America and policy makers alike are worried about the continued turmoil among regional banks. In just two months, a spark of panic has turned into a conflagration that has put America’s regional banks on notice. All of those banks share a status in common as a “regional” or “sector-specific” lender. By definition, regional banks are more specialized and focused. Without raising the cap, Hockett argues, we risk letting the Wall Street banks gobble up their smaller competition when those regional lenders fail.

☆ Exclusive: US regulators worried about uninsured deposits before March crisis
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Douglas Gillison | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Officials had yet to do the same for regional banks, some of which had grown to considerable size and complexity, said Gruenberg. One member, Timothy Mayopoulos, who within months would quickly be named chief executive of Silicon Valley Bank after it failed in March, queried regulators about dealing with regional banks' high proportion of uninsured deposits. Banking regulators have come under criticism since March for failing to stave off the crisis triggered by a run on Silicon Valley Bank, most of whose deposit base was uninsured. The Fed and FDIC are expected to release reports on Friday on their supervision of Silicon Valley and Signature Bank. The meeting was the first since the creation of the panel more than a decade ago to consider policy responses to failures in the middle-tier of large financial institutions.

☆ Here’s what the SVB report will (and won’t) include, according to top former Fed official

Randal Quarles, former vice chair of supervision at the Fed, told CNN in an exclusive interview that he doesn’t expect the report to uncover any smoking guns. For instance, SVB was able to opt out of holding capital against its unrealized investment losses. Cole Burston/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesIn Quarles’ view, returning to the pre-2019 requirements “would not have made any difference” in preventing SVB from failing. The real issue that the Fed’s report should address, he said, is why SVB’s uninsured depositors were so quick to flee. That’s why Quarles said he didn’t hear about the red flags Fed officials identified when he was vice chair for supervision.

☆ Bank of America said to buy Signature Bank, tweets Ackman
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

March 17 (Reuters) - Bill Ackman in a tweet on Friday said Bank of America (BAC.N) is going to acquire Signature Bank (SBNY.O) on Monday, without citing the source of information. "I am hearing that @BankofAmerica is going to buy Signature Bank on Monday. loadingHowever, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters that Bank of America is not interested in buying Signature Bank. Signature Bank did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. State regulators closed New York-based Signature Bank on Sunday, the third largest failure in U.S. banking history, two days after authorities shuttered Silicon Valley Bank in a collapse that stranded billions in deposits.

☆ Investors implore the government to step in after Silicon Valley Bank failure
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-11 | by ( Matt Rosoff | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Big names in Silicon Valley and the finance sector are calling publicly for the federal government to push another bank to assume Silicon Valley Bank's assets and obligations after the financial institution failed on Friday. But the vast majority of SVB's customers were businesses that had more than that on deposit at the bank. As of December, more than 95% of the bank's deposits were uninsured, according to regulatory filings. Investors are concerned that these failures could reduce confidence in the banking sector, particularly mid-sized banks with under $250 billion in deposits. "This was a hysteria-induced bank run caused by VCs," Ryan Falvey, a fintech investor at Restive Ventures, told CNBC on Friday.

Once upon a time, you couldn’t talk about sex in polite conversation, much less on television. In the too-cleverly titled “School Spirits,” Madison Nears ( Peyton List ) has a not-untypical problem: She’s dead. The circumstances are a mystery— the mystery in this eight-episode season based on a graphic novel by Nate Trinrud , Megan Trinrud and Maria Nguyen . At first, she travels the hallways of Split River High School not knowing why she’s being ignored, then realizes she can’t be seen, or heard—not by the living. Search parties continue to scour Split River for Maddie, but the rescue effort is fast becoming a recovery mission.

☆ Canadian regulator raises banks' domestic stability buffer to 3%

OTTAWA, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The amount of capital that Canada's biggest lenders must hold as a stability buffer will rise to 3.00% from 2.50% of risk-weighted assets on Feb.1 in response to increased economic uncertainty, the country's financial regulator said on Thursday. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) said persistent inflation and rising interest rates along with political tensions had exacerbated vulnerabilities. "Systemic vulnerabilities remain elevated – with some, namely Canadian household indebtedness and asset imbalances, edging upwards – as well as the results of recent stress tests," it said in a statement. An OSFI review had shown that the buffer continued to serve to ensure "both systemic stability and the resiliency of D-SIBs (domestic systemically important banks)," OSFI's Chief Risk and Strategy Officer Angie Radiskovic said in the statement.
