Biden administration officials were reportedly involved in Mar-a-Lago raid despite claiming otherwise | Fox News

Biden administration officials were reportedly involved in Mar-a-Lago raid despite claiming otherwise | Fox News:

The Biden administration involved itself in the raid of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home despite reports that its officials were "stunned" to find out about the news on social media, according to the group America First Legal, which obtained internal government documents related to the raid through a Freedom of Information Act request. "The evidence further suggests that Biden officials in the Executive Office of the President and the Department of Justice unlawfully abused their power and then lied about it to the American people," said Reed D. Rubinstein, America First Legal senior counselor and director of oversight and investigations, in a post on social media Tuesday. "This government, it seems, acknowledges no limits on its power to harass, intimidate, and silence its political opponents."

ESG: Woke to Broke

"What’s more important for a company: to make a profit, or to do “social good?”

More and more companies seem to be focusing on the latter.

But is that a good business strategy?

And, what does that mean for the economy, for you… and your bank account?

SFSU Releases Shocking Statement on Riley Gaines Assault

As RedState previously reported, Riley Gaines, a top collegiate swimmer, was assaulted and held hostage after speaking at San Francisco State University recently. Shocking videos showed the chaotic scene as police tried to rush Gaines through the hallways only to leave her barricaded in a room for three hours. Outside, militant trans activists could be heard demanding money for her release.
In the end, not a single person was arrested, and now, SFSU is praising those who attacked Gaines.
In a truly insane statement, Jamillah Moore, Vice President for Student Affairs, lauded the “protesters” as brave and in need of healing while failing to even mention the violence that occurred by their hands...

'You Just Lied': Elon Musk Leaves BBC Reporter Sputtering

'You Just Lied': Elon Musk Leaves BBC Reporter Sputtering - Julio Rosas

"Twitter CEO Elon Musk's interview with BBC North America tech reporter James Clayton became a little heated when Musk pressed Clayton for evidence of more hateful content being posted on the platform after the billionaire took over.

Clayton said he had seen a slight rise in hateful tweets on the "For You" page.

Musk followed up by asking Clayton to name a specific example, which Clayton could not.

"You see more hate speech personally?" Musk asked.
"I would see more hateful content in that," Clayton replied.
"That's why I'm asking for examples. Can you name one example?" Musk continued to ask.
"Honestly, I don't...Honestly...I don't actually use that 'For You' feed anymore because I don't particularly like it, and a lot of people are quite similar," said Clayton.
"Well, hang on a second; you said you've seen more hateful content, but you can't name a single example? Not even one?" Musk pressed. "I'm asking for one example. I say, sir, that you don't know what you're talking about. Because you can't name a specific example of hateful content, not even one tweet. And yet, you claimed that the hateful content was high. That's false; you just lied."...

Anheuser-Busch stock slips in wake of Bud Light's transsexual marketing fiasco and boycott - TheBlaze

Anheuser-Busch stock slips in wake of Bud Light's transsexual marketing fiasco and boycott - TheBlaze:

ESG-conscious executives at Anheuser-Busch may have discounted the initial backlash against Bud Light's partnership with female impersonator Dylan Mulvaney, but they are unlikely to ignore the Monday morning drop in their company's share price. The stock price for Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (BUD) closed last week at $66.34 per share. Monday morning, the price fell precipitously, opening at $64.99. As of the time of publication, the price continued to slide.

It's another liberal sickness!

The Global Great Awokening

The Global Great Awokening - BY NOAH CARL
David Rozado...has now extended his analysis to dozens of other countries, and what he finds is pretty remarkable: The Great Awokening is a global phenomenon.

In almost every country Rozado looked at, there was increase in the frequency of what he calls “prejudice-denoting terms” beginning around 2012.

As the left-hand chart below indicates, this was true even in countries like Kenya and Nigeria – where you’d assume people would be more concerned about things like poverty.

Charts taken from ‘The Great Awokening as a Global Phenomenon’.

...Perhaps the most interesting finding to emerge from Rozado’s analysis is that the big increase – the “woke hockey stick”, as I’ve named it – appears to be more or less simultaneous in all countries.

Child abuse!

Green Energy Crunch Time: Aussie Liddell Coal Plant Closes This Month

"h/t RickWill; Last winter, during a low wind deep freeze, the Aussie East Cost suffered blackouts and energy shortages. This year they’ll face the same – with 1200MW less capacity.

Labor’s electric storm: Liddell closure a ‘serious’ challenge
A perfect storm of delayed energy projects and the closure of the country’s oldest plant in 18 days has presented a “massive” future supply problem which even the state’s new Energy Minister says she is concerned about.
The closure of the Hunter Valley’s Liddell coal-fired power station on April 28 will remove 1200MW of electricity from the grid, with Energy Minister Penny Sharpe declaring “NSW is facing serious energy challenges in coming years”...

...All I can say is thank goodness we’ve got lots of wind and solar energy, they’ll really help us out if we encounter another prolonged overcast wind drought, like last winter.

No. She's not a truth teller.

SFSU praises LGBT extremists who mobbed and attacked Riley Gaines, intimates star athlete's views are 'abhorrent' - TheBlaze

SFSU praises LGBT extremists who mobbed and attacked Riley Gaines, intimates star athlete's views are 'abhorrent' - TheBlaze:

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was reportedly assaulted by a man in a dress and mobbed by verbally abusive protesters after giving a speech Thursday at San Francisco State University. Rather than denounce the violence or castigate protesters for hounding the 23-year-old All-American swimmer into hiding for three hours, the university instead extolled those responsible.

MUST READ!!-----AB isn't stupid. No one can't be this blind and likely its testing couldn't be this off. Not with this kind of visceral reaction. What happened? My mizzus nailed it.

"...New products aren't just thrown out to the public.

Millions of dollars are spent on development.

Millions are spent on test panels all across the country.
...AB isn't stupid...What happened?

ESG. (Environmental, Social, and Governance)
Our government is pushing it, our financial institutions are pushing it, international groups are pushing it.
It's not official but it's certainly fast becoming unofficial.

...ESG can cut off money in an instant if a corporation doesn't tow the WOKE line.
...WOKE go BROKE doesn't bother the Left.

...However, what is the scariest part is not the joke Busch is right now.

What is terrifying is this government and its Leftist allies in business now want a digital currency.

What this means:

The government can- and will assign different values to different groups for their " currency"
The government will be able to block " inappropriate" purchasing ( such as firearms)
The government can pick winners and losers with loans or blocks for the same reason
Above all else, they can track your purchases and spending patterns..
