Hot take: Clemson can be elite when it has a generational talent at QB like Deshaun Watson or Trevor Lawrence. It’s really just a good ACC team without one. No hate to Cade a Klubnik who’s very good but not the same level.

If you are referring Lisa Cook to the DOJ for investigation but not Ken Paxton, the message is that it is clearly an effort to go after presumed enemies of Trump and not a legitimate goal of justice.

Waller is a legitimate Notre Dame football fan and had season tickets for a number of years. When is the last Fed Chair who has been a college football fan vs baseball, if ever?.
Great choice by Fed Governor Waller to make the trip for an epic college football game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Miami Hurricanes. Oh yeah, and I guess he spoke about monetary policy too

Turkey is the most recent classic case of what happens when central bank independence is lost.
Turkey is the cautionary tale. Erdogan swapped economists for loyalists and forced low rates. Result: inflation peaked at 86%, still painfully high. That’s the movie you don’t want a sequel to. Posting the full interview over on my fledgling youtube channel:.

The central bank can’t win a fight with the White House, but it can and should do a better job explaining its role.
