Insurance bills higher? Must read this!!-----HEADLINE: “The shadow nonprofit’s push for ESG”, By STONE WASHINGTON
“ ESG policies thus often amount to a system of burdens and restraints on free enterprise, in order to appease an array of left-leaning political interests.” - Stephen Heins
Since 1871, NAIC’s stated purpose has been to professionally support the roughly 11,000 state insurance regulators in maintaining stable insurance markets. Yet, in recent years, NAIC has moved beyond its mission to stealthily foist environmental, social, governance (ESG) requirements onto state insurance entities...
- NAIC does not pay taxes nor report an annual 990 form detailing the source of its funding and financial activities...
- NAIC can ignore FOIA requests for information about its operations, while imposing standards that skirt notice and comment requirements in rulemaking.
- NAIC’s regulatory impact is vast.
Its recently adopted “residual interests” rule has the potential to “hit American insurers even harder than Solvency II,”... a devastating European Union policy that has “resulted in
- higher insurance premiums for European consumers and businesses and a
- shortage of long-term insurance policies.”...
This controversial framework has allowed NAIC to advance policies that transform the entire insurance industry without proper transparency or accountability...
Exactly as Adolf's goons terrorized their countrymen.-----Beyond accountability: How the left finds release in an age of rage
“We should replace our piece of crap Constitution.” - Jonathan Turley
Those words from author Elie Mystal, a regular commentator on MSNBC, are hardly surprising from someone who previously called the Constitution “trash” and urged not just the abolition of the U.S. Senate but also of “all voter registration laws.”
But Mystal’s radical rhetoric is becoming mainstream on the left, as shown by his best-selling books and popular media appearances.
There is a counter-constitutional movement building in law schools and across the country...
But Mystal’s radical rhetoric is becoming mainstream on the left, as shown by his best-selling books and popular media appearances.
There is a counter-constitutional movement building in law schools and across the country...
- It is part of the “righteous rage” that many of them see as absolving them from the basic demands not only of civility but of legality.
- They are part of a rising class of American Jacobins — bourgeois revolutionaries increasingly prepared to trash everything, from cars to the Constitution...
Of course, it is not revolution on the minds of most of these individuals. It is rage.
Rage is the ultimate drug.
Rage is the ultimate drug.
It offers a release from longstanding social norms — a license to do those things long repressed by individuals who viewed themselves as decent, law-abiding citizens.
- Across the country, liberals are destroying Tesla cars, torching dealerships and charging stations, and even allegedly hitting political dissenters with their cars.
- Last week, affluent liberal shoppers admitted that they are shoplifting from Whole Foods to strike back at Jeff Bezos for working with the Trump administration and moving the Washington Post back to the political center...
- Members of Congress such as Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) have called for Tesla CEO Elon Musk to be “taken down” and said that Democrats have to be “OK with punching.”...
The one thing the American Jacobins will not admit is that they like the rage and the release that it brings them.
From shoplifting to arson to attempted assassination, the rejection of our legal system brings them freedom to act outside of morality and to take whatever they want...

The deep state cabal that LIED about Hunter Biden's laptop | Blaze Media:
House Republicans have uncovered documents revealing that the FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop story wasn’t “disinformation” but rather used Big Tech to snuff out the story.
“The FBI wasn’t just quiet about the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election, they actually told their own people not to talk about it,” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” reports, noting that a top FBI lawyer even issued a gag order on an agent who accidentally confirmed the story’s validity.

Thoughts About China Attacking Taiwan... By Dan Zoernig
I think China will attack Taiwan at some point in the near future. 
Near future is a relative term, of course, because it could mean anything from next weekend to five years from now.
- But they are sending all the right signals and doing all the right things to foreshadow their intentions.
They want that island badly, and they're probably not going to go away without trying to take it.
At least as long as Xi is still breathing.
So, I guess the first question I have is, "Why didn't they do it while Biden was president?"...

This makes sense!-----Here's When Canada Will Cave on Trump's Tariffs Matt Margolis
I have no doubt that Canada will cave to Trump on tariffs.
The question is: when?
The question is: when?
“Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary expressed confidence that the ongoing trade tension between Canada and the U.S. would eventually lead to a resolution, and he even predicted when...
O’Leary emphasized the importance of distinguishing between the “noise” of political rhetoric and the underlying “signal” that points toward economic cooperation...
O’Leary emphasized the importance of distinguishing between the “noise” of political rhetoric and the underlying “signal” that points toward economic cooperation...
- O’Leary argued that a combined economic effort between the U.S. and Canada could pose a significant challenge to China. “If you combine those economies… it would be much stronger against China if there were no tariffs between Canada and the United States,” he said.
The logic behind this argument lies in the historical and economic interdependence of the two countries. According to O’Leary, Canada’s economy has been deeply tied to the U.S. for over a century, with 75% of Canada’s output sold to the U.S. for more than 120 years...
- O’Leary predicted that Canada will wait until after Canada’s upcoming election, which is set to take place in about five weeks, before caving to Trump on tariffs...
Sharia law incoming? Radical Islamists building 402-acre Muslim compound in Texas | Blaze Media
Sharia law incoming? Radical Islamists building 402-acre Muslim compound in Texas | Blaze Media:
The state of Texas is now investigating the project for Fair Housing Act violations, because the project was clear about the preference of selling only to people of the Muslim faith, which is not legal.
The compound has also been sent a cease-and-desist letter from the Texas Funeral Service Commission for allegedly operating an unlicensed funeral home.
“But there’s another issue at hand here,” Gonzales says. “And that is whether or not this compound plans to enact Sharia law, because of course, Sharia is directly from the Quran, which is the Muslims' religious book.”

- As it often happens, it appears that they were wrong.
Daily Mail reported:

Paid for by NGOs funded by...who??!!-----"These protests today are not organic. All 1300 of them have been preplanned by the same six Democrat led and funded NGOs.
Insurrection Barbie on X: The resistance is made up of a professional agitator class / X 
These protests today are not organic.
All 1300 of them have been preplanned by the same six Democrat led and funded NGOs.
The resistance is made up of a professional agitator class, whose only purpose is to engage in destabilizing and Marxist revolutions.
That is what they learn how to do and that is what they implement.
- None of these people have any idea what they’re even protesting or what the pre-printed signs they are required to carry mean.
- Their purpose is to psych you out and make it seem like the whole country is not behind this president and his agenda, but that is a lie.
