The three largest American asset managers’ interest in pushing environment, social, and governance (ESG) policies has plummeted, according to a Thursday report.
BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard’s support for environmental shareholders proposals dropped significantly. State Street said it supported only six percent of environmental shareholder proposals in the first half of the year and only seven percent of social ones, which is a drop compared to 2023.
Vanguard said in August it did not back those resolutions, and BlackRock said it voted for four percent of the ESG proposals

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are running neck and neck in typically blue Virginia, according to a poll.
The University of Washington’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies poll, published Friday, shows the candidates are tied two in a two-way race among registered voters, while Harris has razor-thin edge with likely voters. Each garners 45 percent of the 850 registered voter respondents’ support in a head-to-head matchup. Three percent prefer someone else, and four percent are undecided. Two percent would not vote, and one percent refused to answer.
Harris leads Trump narrowly, 48 percent to 46 percent, among the 756 likely voters sampled.

Kamala Harris and/or her handlers may have more reason to brag about gun ownership. Harris clearly wants to outrun her rhetoric in 2019, when she called for "mandatory buybacks" of so-called assault weapons -- which amounts to flat-out confiscation. Back then, Harris called for "executive action," including all legally owned long-barrel firearms that liberals consider too scary: Since then, Harris has tried to emphasize the fact that she herself owns a gun and that she doesn't oppose the 2nd Amendment. Not only does she own a gun, Harris told Oprah Winfrey in her live interview this week, she'd be happy to plug anyone who broke into her home:

What was your first clue, geniuses?
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their foreign-policy team spent the last eleven months of handcuffing Israel in its war after Hamas' October 7 massacre and atrocities. For the past nine months, the Biden-Harris administration and other Western nations have demanded more and more concessions from Benjamin Netanyahu for a cease-fire and a hostage deal, painting him as the main obstacle to peace.
Now, according to the Wall Street Journal, it's slowly dawning on the Biden-Harris team that terrorists lie and have no real interest in a "two-state solution." First, however, we have to get through some it's-Israel's-fault excuses:

PHILADELPHIA — Eight years after Donald Trump shattered the Blue Wall, some Democrats worry he could do it again.
Most polls show Kamala Harris tied or leading Trump in the critical battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin after a commanding performance at the debate. Party leaders are projecting confidence publicly. But on the ground, jittery elected officials, strategists and allies are quietly pointing to warning signs for the vice president.
The Teamsters withholding an endorsement from Harris this week — after internal polling showed most respondents backing Trump — is sparking fresh concerns that the GOP nominee could have higher-than-expected support among union members

Breakdowns in communication with local law enforcement impeded the Secret Service’s ability to competently address the first attempt on former president Donald Trump’s life at a Pennsylvania rally in July, according to a preliminary report released Friday.
Secret Service acting director Ronald Rowe, who replaced Kimberly Cheatle following her resignation due to fallout from the attempted assassination, laid the blame on complacent Secret Service agents, who he vowed would face unspecified consequences.

Qualcomm approached Intel about a takeover in recent days, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Intel shares rose 8% on the report. The deal, if it were to happen, would be one of the largest technology mergers in years. Intel has a market cap around $96 billion.
It would cap off a dire stretch for Intel. The company's stock had its biggest one-day drop in over 50 years in August after the firm reported disappointing earnings. Intel stock is down 53% in 2024 as investors express doubts about its costly plans to manufacture and design chips.
Qualcomm and Intel compete in several markets,

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly confirmed the location of the new headquarters for X, formerly known as Twitter, in Central Texas after announcing the move from sunny California to temperamental Texas earlier this year. Company executives quietly filed paperwork to secure a space for X in Bastrop, just about 34 miles east of Austin, according to court filings obtained by Forbes. Bastrop is also the home of other Musk ventures, including SpaceX, the Boring Company, the Boring Bodega and a new X safety support center.
Forbes reports that the company has been updating incorporation documents to show the new Bastrop address, and lawyers for Musk on Monday, September 16, requested

We've been doing a lot of coverage of the 2024 race, but even though Joe Biden was shoved off the campaign, he's still occupying the office of the president, which is concerning given the condition he's in.
He seems to have largely disappeared from view except for occasional outings since he withdrew. Maybe they're hoping to do what they can to hide him through the election. But on Thursday, someone made a mistake and let him out to speak at The Economic Club in Washington, D.C.
Letting Biden out to talk about the economy is never a smart idea. You never know what he might say. In this case,

Kamala Harris finally did an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists on Tuesday. As my colleague Jennifer Oliver O'Connell explained, it was far different from how they treated former President Donald Trump when they interviewed him; they treated her with kid gloves.
That being said, she still had trouble, and she couldn't even give straight answers to obvious questions like are Americans better off under Biden-Harris than they were four years ago. Of course she couldn't give an honest straight answer to that question, because we all know what the honest answer would be. No.

Axios has a story about the Harris/Walz strategy of avoiding media interviews and press conferences, and the obvious question is not whether it is fair to the American people, but rather "could it work?" Fairness and politics rarely mix, so there is no point in whinging about the strategy. It may annoy you, me, and the political obsessives, but if it works, then it works. I get upset about the lies and hoaxes because they are flat-out corruption that the media should be pointing out, but Biden's basement strategy worked for him and perhaps Harris's arms-length strategy will work for her. Axios' analysis lays out the numbers,
