POLITICAL THREAD

[Bill Cosby]

This is another issue that needs to be addressed and stopped. WOKE and ESG investments. The way to stop it is through the Legislative process.

This hits home to me because my local gun dealer was denied banking privileges because he was a gun dealer. Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo and other banks shut off his ability to bank. And if you run a business you know without banking you are finished. He couldn't even get a loan, not because of poor credit but because he sells guns. Lucky for him a small local bank stepped in and helped him. But he shouldn't have to beg just because he sells guns.

That will soon end. And no more "Social Credit Scores".

ESG is great. Corporations like environmental favorite Exxon Mobile get the certification, or corporate governance icon Adani Group gets the stamp of approval, but Tesla is excluded from the indexes.

The first thing the next POTUS does should be firing everyone at the SEC who was involved with pushing for reporting on ESG impact.

I saw that Blackrock opposed Exxon helping to build a new oil refinery in China out of concern for the environment. So a Chinese firm did the construction themselves and gained the know how to not need western oil co's anymore. The funny thing is... guess who is the largest foreign holder of stock in that Chinese co?...


Answer.... Blackrock!

It is being said that the local police/authorities lit the cars on fire, producing that toxic chemical cloud that's killing animals on land and in the rivers. Also, they were arresting reporters that were there filming

They should've marked those bills and tracked all of the money. You know there's a ton of it already back here in the US being spent on the next operations

He's not wrong... and spent with NO accountability:

Not long ago the Florida State pension was with Blackrock. No longer. The State Legislature pulled the plug on those folks. New legislation will stop even local governments from investing with them.

MIT has fallen behind a school in India and China in engineering. MIT was the best in the world and it's 3rd now and predicted to fall further. When schools in engineering and science start to lose sight of the mission then the whole higher education system needs to be looked at.

Can't lead in science when you're busy with propaganda, paid fake studies, and burying real scientific research. Candace Owen said it real well. There are more people in this country paying 100k for (gender studies for example) degrees and graduating college more stupid than graduates have been in the history of this country.

Can anybody explain why liberals seem to be so mentally unwell?

It's weird. JK is lefty as can be but she doesn't want to lose womens rights to trans women.... so she has to be destroyed. How ever far left they move, everyone must go that far or be cast out.

Rowling isn’t a lefty, she’s a staunch liberal. She hates lefties. Her entire worldview is about defending the status quo from radical attackers, not upending it. Look at how she wrote the slavery of the House Elves. They don’t end slavery, they don’t free the elves, the elves like being slaves and the only difference between the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ guys is that the good guys are nice to their slaves and the bad guys are mean to them. The only one trying to end slavery(the lefty) is portrayed as a bossy, annoying, know-it-all who the normal people wish would just shut up.

If a girl is transgendering to a boy she should be forced to use a urinal when urinating. No squatting on a commode lid.

If you are going to be a boy. Act like one, stand up and face the wall.

And plan on working twice as hard to pay for college and get your degree because they're no longer a minority or protected class.

Imo the way to handle esg is let the market do it's work. Any fund, investor, or company making financial decisions for any reason other than financial outcome will pretty quickly start to lose and lose big.

Let them do it. Just make damn sure they don't get a penny of government subsidy or bailout.

They'll start changing their tune really quick

I wish more politicians would answer these smart alect reporters in this manner. Throw it back in their face and show how big of a hypocrite they are.

Liberal reporters think they are so clever until you make them look like a fool. And this person left the press conference looking like a fool.

I'm guessing Central Asian Muslim (Kazakhstan, etc.). While I'm glad they have arrested the perp, I don't see any MAGA insignia so we probably won't hear anything else about this after today's news cycle.

U-Haul driver's NYC 'rampage' leaves 1 dead, 8 hurt

A man driving a U-Haul truck swerved onto sidewalks and plowed into cyclists and scooter riders in New York City on Monday, killing one person and injuring eight others before police were able to pin the careening vehicle against a building following a mileslong pursuit through Brooklyn.

apnews.com

From the article:

The driver was arrested. Police didn’t immediately release his name, but his son identified him as Weng Sor, and told The Associated Press he had a history of mental illness.

“Very frequently he’ll choose to skip out on his medications and do something like this,” said Stephen Sor, 30, in an interview outside his Brooklyn home. “This isn’t the first time he’s been arrested. It’s not the first time he’s gone to jail.”

Court records show Weng Sor was sentenced to one to three years in a Nevada prison for stabbing his brother in Las Vegas in 2015.

Stephen Sor said his father had been living in Las Vegas for the past few years. He said he didn’t speak to his father often, and was completely caught off guard when he showed up in Brooklyn in the middle of the night about a week ago.

He described his relationship with his father as “rocky,” and said his father had a history of mental illness, as well as not taking medications and acting out.

“I try to just distance, as long as he leaves us alone,” Sor said.

If they weren't all JUST politicians, more WOULD. Tired of the grandstanding and finger pointing. Love that your governor is actually doing something about it.

I told yall it's a war and we better see it as such. People need to be policing their communities and keeping an eye out for sht like this. It's likely people being paid to do this by either our gov or the same people buying and pushing out gov towards globalist rule and the destruction of our rights.

He'll get his equity when he's put six feet under and again when he faces an even greater judge. Kid needs to go to jail as an adult or he won't make it there. My nephews would've put him down and made sure he wasn't swinging for a good long while.

Figures the coward does it like that, too. Putting his hood up and taking shots while the kid is sitting. So many cowards doing that these days.

Does just the opposite of what's intended. If they have identity issues then how is a urinal a problem? The stupidity of people is growing exponentially at this point. War on all fronts.

What's a polite way to tell the gays to get off my side? I am an economic liberal but do not support nor agree with anything woke at all. Tired of 13% of our population (blacks) dictating to white people what they can and cannot say and expecting us to fall all over ourselves to ensure we do not "diss" them in whatever nutty way their culture operates in a world where they inundate their youth with horrendous rap lyrics while telling everyone else "they" are disrespected. They shoot each other in droves yet talk about being afraid of the police? That whole world is insane.

Then on the other side there is you nuts.

Men like me have nowhere to go, really. Nuts all the way around.

You think the nuts here are comparable to what you just described?

That's a fair question.

Where I draw the line and what has driven me to the point of leaving the Democratic Party is messing with kids. I strongly and think legally we need to do everything in our power to ensure children are allowed to be children and put off all the agendas until they are grown. I was furious when the right tried to introduce Creationism into schools but that pales into comparison to the garbage the left is slipping into textbooks. The gays are particularly insidious in even inundating gaming systems with their garbage. Messing with kids is a huge deal breaker for me.

I also don't know how my liberal side became so anti-free speech? It's like the whole world has turned on its head.

I have a natural competition in me and I have fought for liberal ideals and election wins my whole life, but what am I winning now?

It really is almost an impossible time to be a white male straight family man who is a liberal.

Hardest thing in the world is for me to come to terms with every single time I hear Ron DeSantis speak I really like the guy. Terrifying to me. I've never voted for a Republican in my life. I can't imagine it. It's like my whole world is turning upside-down politically.

I absolutely love his war on wokeness.

Listen. Your aversion to right wing economics, foreign policy, and presumably to some right wing values is understandable to me. That sounds like what I grew up calling liberalism.

But what liberalism has become is so indescribable that I can’t name it. Sexual anarchy, racial lunacy, Orwellian and anti-Enlightenment thought processes, and hatred of our country are now the main planks.
