Something is very wrong with that Republican Party right ?
Don’t they have better stuff to do ?

Republican lawmakers in New Hampshire are seeking to make using ESG criteria in state funds a crime in the latest attack on the beleaguered investing strategy.

Representatives led by Mike Belcher introduced a bill that would prohibit the state’s treasury, pension fund and executive branch from using investments that consider environmental, social and governance factors. “Knowingly” violating the law would be a felony punishable by not less than one year and no more than 20 years imprisonment, according to the proposal.

True crime documentaries have been doing it for years to sell copy. Why wouldn't news commentators do it to pander to some of their demographic?

The US and UK have begun joint air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, two US defence officials told the BBC's US partner, CBS News.

The strikes are aimed at a range of targets, including radars, officials told CBS.

Previously, most of the recent strikes were aimed at individual missiles the Houthis were believed to be preparing to launch, the officials said.

Can they actually reliably target only vessels "linked to Israel"? How would they be able to do that?

The post about executive orders about gtmo has been moved to the conspiracy thread. Among other problems the exec order cited was a Trump order that rescinded part of Obama's exec order about closing gtmo, not Bidens.

They've attacked many vessels with no links to Israel, so based on that I'm going to say they either can't or they're not really trying to.

Oklahoma trying to take the lead as least desirable to state to live in, politically:

An Oklahoma Rep Filed a Bill to Have Animal Control Remove Furries From School Grounds

Following up on their wonderful transgender bill, seems like a great place to be.

Just a thought - before you propose a bill using a 5 syllable word, make sure you first know what it means.

Ho man ….
Baham !
I giggle .

Jamie Dimon , the biggest bankers in the US :

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...althy-pay-more

Quote:

Dimon Says Rich Should Pay More to Fund Low-Income Tax Cuts. Cutting taxes for lower-income Americans would improve their upward mobility, health and lives overall, and contribute to growth of the US economy — even if doing so means raising taxes for wealthier people, JPMorgan Chase & Co.

What a wreckage for baham entire economic life frame .

That was a long detour …..
No idea why you had to put trump reference in the first reply , especially from someone like u who “dislike” trump when trump wasn’t even in the subject .

Ps: u should read the article u post ……
Dimon on politic he gets clobbered.
I actually uses Dimon in what is an expert in -> the economy .
