Corporate America Is Going Un-Woke: Reversing DEI, Sustainability Plan

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  14 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  10 months ago

“Companies were eager to undertake ESG and DEI efforts a few years ago. Now, their talk and actions are changing.”

The value of anything, including woke hype, depends upon someone buying it.  With Joe Biden's inflation eating away at the dollar, people don't want to spend money on warm, fuzzy, feel-good promises.  The commercial exploitation of 'woke' only resulted in identity creep and increasing competition...

Biden unveils $3 billion for nationwide lead pipe replacement

““Until the United States of America, God love us, deals with this, how can we say we’re a leading nation in the world?” Biden said.”

Gotta love those liberal priorities.  Joe Biden can spend $61 billion on his pet Soviet puppet and make arms manufacturers flush with cash.  Biden can wipe tens of billions of student debt off the books and safeguard lenders.  Biden can spend hundreds of billions on chips, EVs, and disposable...

MSNBC's Al Sharpton compares anti-Israel demonstrations to Jan 6: Democrats losing 'moral high ground'

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  3 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  10 months ago

“Al Sharpton suggested Democrats were losing "moral high ground" by not calling out anti-Israel protests, which he compared to the events of Jan. 6.”

Another false narrative being floated by the unbiased liberal press.  The Capitol riot on Jan. 6th attacked government.  The pro-Palestinian protests have attacked civil society.  Just like the BLM protests attacked civil society.   Biden has told us that an attack on government (especially...

Could Nikki Haley be Trump's running mate? Don't rule it out

“Nikki Haley's strong showing in Pennsylvania's recent Republican primary may give Donald Trump something to think about, even if vice presidential...”

Does the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election hinge upon who Donald Trump picks for Vice President?  Will the Republican Party allow Donald Trump the choice? Let's face it, the electorate ain't overly enthused about a second Biden term.  Kamala Harris has a natural talent for undermining...

Biden's worst-case economic scenario is unfolding at the worst possible time

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  2 Comments  •  6 Likes  •  10 months ago

“The economic growth that the administration hoped would at least outstrip inflation's increase — and reverse some of that cumulative effect — is not.”

Biden's Build Back Better was an alliterative flop.  Bidenomics became just another iteration of 'Let's Go, Brandon!'  Ordinary people on Main Street have heard these promises before.  And they can see what's over the horizon.  When tech workers are being laid off in droves then who will save the...

Sen. Whitehouse: Climate change could crash the financial system

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  2 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  10 months ago

“Climate change’s impact on insurance companies is putting the U.S. in danger of a financial meltdown, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I) told The Hill.”

Right on cue.  There's talk of more stringent 'Basel III' regulation of bank financing for climate mitigation projects and a Democrat threatens to drown the puppies.  Sen. Whitehouse likes to cite Florida and the Gulf Coast as examples of the risk of property values collapsing.  As usual, that...

'Basel III' bank rules could pose unexpected threat to Biden's green energy plans

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  10 months ago

“Renewable energy groups and congressional Democrats are raising alarms about potential harm to clean energy goals from a proposed banking regulation.”

First I've heard of this.  But the news isn't surprising.  Banks have been subsidized and bailed out by taxpayers since Bill Clinton approved the repeal of Glass-Steagall.  (That's supposedly one of Joe Biden's biggest regrets.  Hey, Joe, that vote is gonna bite you on the ass.)  

Biden says US to begin sending military equipment to Ukraine within 'hours'

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  12 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  10 months ago

“Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday "the key now is speed."”

Joe Biden openly brags that he has been lying to the American people all along.  The war materiel has been pre-positioned in Poland.  Biden could have released the stuff months ago.  Biden only wanted Congress to cover his backside.  And Biden's brag is delivered against the backdrop of...

Opinion | How Ukraine can make best use of the U.S. aid package

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  10 months ago

“The infusion of arms won't end the war. But it averts the worst possible outcomes.”

The Ukrainian aid story falls off the news cycle today after Biden signs the legislation.  Biden has gotten all the bounce he's gonna get from spending this money. Did you know the unspoken purpose of the aid package was to obtain Congressional approval for escalating the war?  As Ignatius...
