  2. Media=trash.

    Now they’re going back to change stories to include Biden’s 7th grandchild, now that he’s finally acknowledged her. Yet they still haven’t corrected all their false Russia, Russia, Russia BS that they gave themselves awards for writing even though it was all lies. Weird, right?

    Revisionist trash.

    “The story became one of palace intrigue due to the anonymous 911 call, the location of the Obamas at the time of the incident, and the former president’s injuries at a golf course not long after the event. He was sporting bandaged hands and a black eye. It might be a coincidence, but the drowning has sparked many conspiracy theories and accompanying fact-checks, which don’t mean anything. The liberal media destroyed the ‘fact check’ beat when weaponizing these pieces against the Trump presidency.”

  12. “Blackrock is the 800lb gorilla of Extra Scammy Goodness”

    https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2023/08/02/blackrock-is-the-800lb-gorilla-of-extra-scammy-goodness-n568667

    “When you have too much money, too much influence, and you know you’re too damn smart to just let the peasants live their lives without your dictatorial benevolence tipping the scales in the direction you want their lives to be lived, sometimes…you out-clever yourself. You get too cutesy by half in your arrogance.

    Blackrock has that problem.”

    “It’s an argle-bargle scam to end-run states who are starting to watch Blackrock closely.

    …Wiser states will legislatively mandate disclosure of investment-stewardship meetings and make it clear that pressuring companies to support ESG or other ideological objectives over profits is itself a breach of fiduciary duties, even if informal.

    In any event, it is very unlikely that red states will allow BlackRock to use its so-called Voting Choice ruse as a shortcut around its fiduciary obligations. Legislators, attorneys general, and state financial officers are following these issues closely. And as the elected stewards of their states’ (and taxpayers’) investments, they are holding BlackRock and other ESG supporting firms accountable.

    Actually, Blackrock has a Larry Fink problem. Fink is one of the seven original founders of the firm, and he is now the CEO and chairman of the firm he helped create in 1988 – its guiding light, you might say. Fink’s visionary light burns with a globalist passion to shape the world in his idealized version, and, as his firm has managed to accrue significant investments (read: control) of every major corporation on the planet, he has the leverage to do so.

    Oxfam Research -“says that 82% of all earned money in 2017 went to those 1%.”

    BlackRock, Vanguard & State street owns the majority of stocks in Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Facebook, AT&T and many, than other institutional investors. Which makes them first mover advantage. BlackRock has invested $170 billion in U.S. public energy companies (2021) and $85bn investment only in coal companies.

    All three combined $20 trillion in managed assets is the equivalent of more than half of the combined value of all shares of companies in the S&P 500 (about $38 trillion). And That’s larger than the gross domestic product (GDP) of every single country around the globe, except for China and the United States.

    Bloomberg calls BlackRock “The fourth branch of government”, because it’s the only private agency that closely works with the central banks. These firms were right of Federal Reserve which helped in time of 2008 housing crises to clear the mess.

    All that financial muscle powering an engrained WEF mentality? It’s led to Blackrock using that heft to force the woke social engineering changes they want by pressuring firms whose assets they manage, regardless of where those firms’ board or management stood on the issues.

    …Large asset managers integrate ESG objectives into their investment approaches in one of two ways. The first is through dedicated ESG or sustainability funds, which systematically exclude or underweight securities in disfavored sectors such as fossil fuels, tobacco and firearms. These funds represent a small portion of total assets under management—less than 6% as of last year in BlackRock’s case. If dedicated ESG funds accurately disclose their policies and the ultimate capital owners are informed of them before making investment decisions, there’s no legal problem. People are free to use their money to promote any social causes they like.

    The second and more prevalent way that asset managers promote ESG is through “stewardship,” which refers to proxy voting and shareholder engagement. The largest asset managers use stewardship to promote ESG principles in all their portfolios, including non-ESG index funds.

    In 2022, large asset managers including BlackRock voted in favor of implementing racial-equity audits at companies like Apple and Home Depot notwithstanding that the companies’ boards recommended against doing so. Similar examples abound with large asset managers imposing emissions caps, ESG-linked executive compensation and board diversity mandates across corporate America. Many capital owners strongly disagree with these objectives even though their money was used to support them.

    The problem for their plans to reshape society by rejiggering the workplace to fit their template was that the populace in general was waking up to “woke.” People have not liked a thing they’ve been seeing. DEI programs were bad enough, but the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standing of a company determining investing vice fiduciary principles became a rallying cry for conservatives and a nascent anti-woke movement. In August of last year, 19 Republican attorneys general wrote a well-publicized shot-across-the-bow to Fink and Blackrock concerning the firm’s handling of their states’ pension funds. Were the demands of supporting unicorn farts taking precedence over pensioners’ security?”

  13. This most recent indictment means that in discovery, election officials from the key states will be subpoenaed. Based on the evidence, reasonable doubt about the integrity of the 2020 election will quickly come to the forefront, and it will be abundantly clear who actually won the election. A blessing in disguise…

  14. An incident to file under “Try that in a small town”

    A woman from the humane society was helping some folk turn over a dog. She left her keys and purse in the car in Grangeville. A forty something from Montana stole it. Deputies located the car in Kooskia and did a traffic stop. Montana took off running. Four people saw him go and took off after him. Ran him until he turned himself in to a deputy. He called the officer, officer approached and asked why he was all sweaty and out of breath. He told the deputy he was the suspect they were looking for. The pursuers were fifteen, fourteen, and two thirteens. One had picked up the guy’s hat and offered to return it. The guy told him to keep it. Deputy said it was part of the description and needed to stay with the guy. The boys then offered the guy a cupcake they had purchased just before the pursuit and carried the box of cupcakes as they ran.

  15. He’s right and it’s not the first time he has sounded the warning. Yet there are those who refuse to believe it…

    They’re coming after you — and I’m just standing in their way,” Trump said. “The ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the Biden administration’s weaponized Department of Injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country,” he said.
