Wall Street’s Appetite for ESG Plummets
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/21/2024 1:12:54 AM
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

Federal agents seized materials from the home of new NYPD interim commissioner Tom Donlon on Friday, less than two weeks after New York City's previous police commissioner resigned.
Donlon confirmed Saturday night that the FBI searched his Upper East Side home a day earlier. Two sources familiar with the investigation told NBC New York that materials had been seized as part of the search.
News 4 was told that the search appeared to be in relation to Donlon's past work in national security, pre-dating his recent appointment atop the NYPD. One source said federal investigators were looking into whether he improperly stored any classified documents or sensitive materials
It's a heck of a thing, to be in a line of endeavor that may not only place one's self in danger but also one's family. That is, nonetheless, the position former (and, we can hope, future) President Donald Trump finds himself in today. In an interview airing Saturday evening, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade spoke with the former President, who, in the wake of two assassination attempts, is worried about his family.
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade’s brand-new interview with former President Donald Trump will be appearing exclusively on "One Nation," Saturday night. In the interview, Trump candidly responded to whether he worries about the safety of his family:

One of the things that is most challenging for Kamala Harris is how to paint herself as a "change agent," when she's part of the Biden-Harris administration. Most Americans find that the administration has been a failure, and don't want four more years of it. So, what does she do when she is the effective incumbent?
Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are bizarrely trying to paint former President Donald Trump as the incumbent, and themselves as the "new way forward." It's basically trying to turn reality on its head. She can't afford to be clear about their own radical policies;
Democrats are losing their advantage over Republicans regarding requests for mail-in voting in the 2024 presidential election, according to recent data.
A chart created by Eric Daugherty, the assistant news director with Florida’s Voice, showed that in Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Democrats were experiencing a downward trend in the number of requests for mail-in ballots compared to the same time in 2020.
Daugherty’s chart cited Michael Pruser, a writer with DecisionDeskHQ, and John Couvillon, the founder of JMC Analytics and Polling, as sources.

Democrat presidential appointee nominee Kamala Harris went on the campaign trail to Madison, Wisconsin, Friday night and took the stage at the Alliant Energy Center, and if you went there looking for endless giggling, gaslighting, and more "Kammy From the Block" accents, you weren’t disappointed.
Try not to wince as you hear the vice president try to prove she is a woman of the streets: I remember when former MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews “felt this thrill going up” his leg when listening to Obama in 2017. Well I felt a sharp pain in my stomach when I listened to this total inauthenticity from Kamala Harris.
The pain only intensified when I
CNN commentator and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said Friday on CNN’s “The Source” that former President Donald Trump was “on edge” after two assassination attempts.
On Wednesday, while speaking at a rally in New York, Trump said, “I thought this was a wise guy coming up. This guy, I’m getting ready. You know, I’ve got a little bit of a yip problem here. Right? That was amazing. I was all ready to start duking it out.”
Guest host Boris Sanchez said, “He describes it as a ip moment. He seems to flinch when he, out of the corner of his eye, sees some movement and

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.
Guess Who's Buying Firearms Now?

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.
“While some members of the advance team were very diligent, there was complacency

Vice President Kamala Harris‘ husband, Doug Emhoff, claimed during an interview this week that it was unfair for people to criticize his wife’s performance over the last three and a half years because she was not the president.
Emhoff made the remarks during a softball ABC News interview Friday morning on “Good Morning America,” which came just days after the network’s debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump that was extremely biased against the Republican nominee.
Co-anchor Michael Strahan asked Emhoff if he thought it was fair that his wife was being criticized for the numerous failings
In what could be a massive game changer in the 2024 presidential election, the union representing workers from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has endorsed Kamala Harris.
In a press release this week, the National Treasury Employees Union which represents workers of the Internal Revenue Service confirmed that the decision had been taken “after extensive research into the candidates’ records regarding the federal workforce, and consultation with NTEU members and chapter leaders across the country.” (X) “When it comes to treating federal employees with respect, valuing their service, and investing in their work, Kamala Harris is the clear choice,”
Author and constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley sounded the alarm on Hillary Clinton's "chilling" suggestion that Americans who share disinformation should be arrested. Turley addressed the former secretary of state's controversial remarks on free speech during "America's Newsroom," warning that the global effort to stifle free speech has reached U.S. shores. JONATHAN TURLEY: I talk about her in my new book, ‘The Indispensable Right,' and how she's been one of the outstanding voices in the anti-free speech movement. Her views on free speech are quite chilling. What's interesting is that for years, the left has been trying to get people to embrace censorship, but it's hard

It’s a shame what’s going on in Springfield, Ohio. [Snip] They’re eating dogs. They’re eating cats. [Snip] It’s been thoroughly debunked, but since when does truth matter when you have the backing of the triumvirate of political treachery: Trump, his running mate and Ohio’s Republican senator, J.D. Vance, and Republican Bernie Moreno, who is trying to unseat Ohio’s other senator, Democrat Sherrod Brown. [Snip] In MAGA-land, focusing targets on brown-skinned immigrants can be a dangerous game. [Snip] All because of a politically advantageous lie, promoted largely by a man out on bond.
Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted CNN’s invitation to debate Donald Trump for a second time ahead of the November election — despite the latter’s insistence that he doesn’t see a “need” to face-off again.
“The American people deserve another opportunity to see Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump debate before they cast their ballots,” Harris-Walz campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said Saturday.
“It would be unprecedented in modern history for there to just be one general election debate. Debates offer a unique chance for voters to see the candidates side by side and take stock of their competing visions for America.
During an interview with Bloomberg on Friday, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) declared that “you can’t compromise on women’s right to choose. I don’t think that you can compromise on the fact that we’ve got women who are in danger of dying because doctors are afraid of the government coming in and getting between them and their patient.” And opposed a compromise on a ban on abortion after 15 or 16 weeks because “many of these cases are very complicated and often involve parents who really want to have children, but have extraordinary complications. This is an issue that should be left to women and their doctors.”
While Kamala Harris has taken a page from Biden’s basement campaign by hiding from the media, except when it is a fawning interviewer, like Oprah, the odds seemed slim she would agree to another presidential debate against Donald Trump.
The New York Post reports, however, that Harris has agreed to CNN’s invitation to a second debate on October 23.

If we told you they were UOCAVA votes, would that mean anything to you?
Does the average American citizen even have a clue what the acronym ‘UOCAVA’ stands for?
If you don’t know what the acronym UOCAVA stands for, you should because it could very well be the key to how Democrats plan to steal our upcoming election from President Trump and pro-America candidates running for seats up and down the ballot.
There’s going to be a (large) percentage of readers whose eye will roll at this headline: You don’t listen to Sean Combs… or P. Diddy… or Diddy… or Puff Daddy… or whatever he’s calling himself today.

Janet Jackson has claimed that Kamala Harris is not black - and that the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee has a white father.
Jackson, 58, made the shocking assertion in an interview with The Guardian, when asked on her feelings about the United States having its first female black president.
'Well, you know what they supposedly said?' the singer answered. 'She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.'
'Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.'
