The Supreme Court Undercuts The SEC

Aug 5, 2024 | mondaq.com | David Bryant

An increasingly assertive SEC has found itself in uncharted territory, defenestrated. Since the 2008 recession and the subsequent passing of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the SEC has slowly, then not-so-slowly, ramped up its regulatory burden on the financial industry while intensifying its examinations. The Supreme Court, supported by a resolute United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, halted that momentum this year.

Don’t worry, MIA Sarge is still kicking

Sep 20, 2023 | kdhnews.com | David Bryant

I apologize that I’m not actually the Sarge — I’m his wife. And I’ve got a lot to say about his recent absence in the Fort Cavazos Herald over the past few weeks. I’m not a writer, in any way, shape or form. That’s my husband’s job, and he feels completely guilty for needing others to take up his slack. He is alive, however, and he had me taking care of him.

Just no Winter Storm Uri again, if you please. I’d like to keep my toes, thank you very much.

But today this forest “drenched in fragrance” and “swaying close to Hāʻena” has been all but lost. The iconic hala tree spirals skyward atop stilt-like roots, their leaves exploding in tropical rosettes.
