KOMMONSENTSJANE – SLINGSHOT NEWS IS OUT OF RANGE – Part of the Fake News…

12/13/2025

Okay WordPress – you are showing your interference colors – get out of here!

Slingshot news are still living in the “dog days” of past summers.

We all remember the tool used in earlier days as a child which was called a “slingshot.” My brothers used a slingshot which he used for good to hurl at stray dogs who were chasing innocent cats in our yard and he also used it on cats if they were trying to catch the birds. This news media called Slingshot is using the same tactics by always hurling stone stories at our leader – not good ones.

Wonder if they ever wrote a story about our President that was a true reflection on what/how he is “making a difference” compared to the Democrat Socialist quagmire?

Even their name tells you a lot about their words. The definition of SLINGSHOT – NORTH AMERICAN ENGLISH

A forked stick, to which an elastic strap or a pair of elastic bands connected by a small sling is fastened to the two prongs, typically used for shooting small stones; a catapult.

Fake news is always their objective. I wonder how much are they being paid by the lefties to constantly hurl their stone stories. It is so evident.

‘He Was Good Just Because He’s Good’: Trump Shows Signs Of Mental Decline, Struggles To Give A Speech At GOP Lunch Event

During a lunch event last month for Senate Republicans at the White House Rose Garden, Donald Trump showed signs of mental decline as he struggled to give a speech that made sense. “He was good just because he’s good,” Trump wisely said. 

(My opinion is the words add up – he thinks the man has a good heart but not up to the challenge. The conclusion with the left news media is – you have to remember – all of these folks came through the “woke” era and CREATIVITY was not taught which is so sad. That is why they are so confused when the statement above threw them out of the loop to expand their mind beyond “apples/oranges.”)

(This dementia story is a fake story. They are not physicians and the story is made up. Just another DAILY CHEAP SHOT with their SLINGSHOT news.)

We all know who in the news tells the truth. Therefore, we know how to “part the waves.”

Here is another story in which the left continues repeating in their dogged news accounts. The left can’t seem to grasp that Epstein was set up – way back then – by the Democrats/FBI/Bush I (?). Don’t forget, President Trump was a Democrat and so was Epstein in those days and was a friend/neighbor of Epstein’s. Why does the left not put two and two together – rather than always using Clinton’s modern math where the total always can be whatever they want?

This is when the color of the leaves changed:

Just another day as the world in politics makes its mark.

Patience is not one of America’s best traits, as we all know.

The Socialists Democrats put us in this hole and the President has been working 24/7 digging us out of it.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Elections Have Consequences.

The left still thinks – any truth is a lie in their lying eyes. How can they stand paying for the Socialists taking over their party in New York? That is hard to swallow!

‘Elections have consequences’: Trump throws a fit over Democrats, demands they start ‘respecting’ him in Oval Office tirade

During an executive order signing from the Oval Office several weeks ago in September, Donald Trump lashed out at Democrats for opposing him and his extremist agenda. Trump demanded Democrats “start respecting what takes place at the voter booth,” bragging about his “landslide” election victory. “Elections have consequences,” he stated.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – The Christmas Miracle That Changed Banking Forever.

The Christmas Miracle That Changed Banking Forever

By Joel Litman, chief investment officer, Altimetry

After a year and a half of fighting, Al de Molina’s bid to save General Motors hinged on a Christmas Miracle…

2008 was ending, and de Molina was trapped in a three-way standoff between the lending operation GMAC, the company’s bondholders, and the Federal Reserve.If de Molina lost this fight, GMAC would fold and take down the carmaker and thousands of local dealerships with it.De Molina’s journey began in August 2007, when he became the chief operating officer of GMAC. At the time, subprime lending markets were already cracking. The worst of the global financial crisis was still a year away. But many consumer-focused companies were already feeling real pain.And few felt it more than the auto industry… and GM especially.

Like many car companies, GM had long operated two businesses…

One division (GM) built and sold cars. The other half (GMAC) financed these vehicles.When someone bought a car from GM, GMAC would purchase the car from GM. It would then give the car to the consumer, who would pay GMAC over time through an auto loan.GM received the cash up front. GMAC took on the credit risk, and the consumer drove off happy.Although GMAC had spun off from GM in 2006, the companies’ fortunes were bound together. GM still owned 49% of the lending company and relied on loans going through GMAC.You see, GMAC also loaned capital to individual dealerships so they could stock their lots with GM cars.With so many loans being written all the time, GMAC didn’t have enough cash to lend to people. So it borrowed money from the bond market that it would turn around and lend out to dealerships and consumers.The formula worked great when the economy was working.

In 2007, though, it was a recipe for ruin…

GM’s sales would fall 17% in 2008… and 29% in 2009. As people stopped buying cars, GMAC wrote fewer loans. That meant it collected less interest income.It also meant less money for dealerships, which now struggled to pay back the loans they used to stock their lots.Consumers stopped buying… dealerships couldn’t pay their debts… and frozen credit markets meant GMAC couldn’t refinance its debt. The ripple effect threatened the end of a 100-year-old auto giant.Enter Al de Molina…De Molina wasn’t an auto-industry vet. But he knew finances. Prior to joining GMAC, de Molina spent 17 years at Bank of America, where he spent a year as CFO in 2006.He expected to parachute in, clean up GMAC’s operations, and move on.

But what was supposed to be a quick fix turned into anything but…

GMAC lost more than $2.3 billion in 2007… and was on track to lose $7.2 billion in 2008.By the time de Molina took over as GMAC’s CEO in March 2008, he realized the only way to save GMAC – and the thousands of dealers that relied on it – would be to turn the lender into a bank.Becoming a bank would allow GMAC to raise deposits and make it eligible for the government’s emergency bailout funds.It was a huge undertaking… And de Molina had nine months to make it happen.

On December 16, legendary market veteran Marc Chaikin is officially sounding the alarm on the U.S. stock market… and will reveal the No. 1 step to take with your money BEFORE January 1 to protect yourself and prepare as hundreds of stocks could soon suffer swift, brutal sell-offs. The last time he issued a warning like this, the average investor went on to lose up to 44% of their portfolio in the months that followed. Before it’s too late, learn more here.

As one market veteran is now warning, if you want to protect yourself from the chaos surrounding the AI bubble – and potentially triple your money – you need to make this ONE move before January 1, 2026.

GMAC was in a race against time. If the company didn’t secure cash by the year’s end, it would break loan covenants, potentially pushing it toward bankruptcy.With GMAC out of commission, GM and its dealers would fail. More than 85% of North American GM dealers would lose access to vital funding.

De Molina’s first challenge was to convince GMAC’s two shareholders to reduce their stake in the company…

Investment firm Cerberus Capital Management had to drop its 51% share to 33%. GM had to cut its stake from 49% to less than 10%.This was the easy part.The bigger challenge – GMAC needed a big injection of equity from somewhere.The Federal Reserve required banks to have specific amounts of cash or equity based on their outstanding debts. GMAC had too much debt and not enough equity or assets.By the fall of 2008, Lehman Brothers had collapsed, and private markets were closed… especially to companies facing bankruptcy. So a cash injection was off the table.It had one path to survival. The Fed told GMAC it needed to convert 75% of its $38 billion in bonds into equity. That was its only chance to qualify as a bank and save its business.But GMAC bondholders didn’t want to convert their bonds into shares of a failing company. GMAC argued that without the conversion, bondholders could lose everything.In the end, the Fed blinked.

On Christmas Eve, the central bank approved GMAC’s transformation into a bank… even without action from bondholders…

GMAC later said that it had converted only $21.2 billion worth of bonds into equity, about 52%.But that was enough. The newly minted bank ultimately received more than $17 billion in bailout funds by the end of 2009.GM eventually went bankrupt. But de Molina’s ability to keep GMAC afloat meant thousands of GM dealerships could stay open as the carmaker worked its way out of bankruptcy.Today, GM is once again one of the largest auto companies in the U.S. And GMAC is still around too, only it goes by the name Ally Financial (ALLY).Ally remained a full-fledged bank – with one catch…From its start, Ally had the institutional know-how and a solid foundation of borrowers. But it didn’t have a network of physical branches like traditional banks.

Rather than trying to play catch-up with legacy banks, Ally embraced its position…

It became one of the first fully digital, branchless banks.Companies like Ally have changed the rules of banking. No longer do banks need fancy lobbies and smiling tellers to attract new customers.Instead, they rely on user-friendly, comprehensive banking apps that can handle all of a customer’s money-related needs.Today, a solid banking app isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s a necessity. It doesn’t matter if you’re a tiny regional player… or a financial giant. Tech is non-optional in today’s banking industry.And the businesses that embrace it should outperform the rest.Let’s jump in.
