Damn the Bad Luck Tuesday Open Commentary

Five Times the World Did Not End

We don’t have to succumb to these authoritarian thugs.  It is possible to fight back and fight back hard.  Environmental Social Governance (ESG), Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) are all ideological tire tools to club the individual liberty of citizens everywhere.  It was deemed inevitable all of these scams against Mankind would be installed in every governing institution in the world not so recently.

CDBC has been benched if not ended.  DEI is on the run, though the Left continues to masquerade it and ESG is being aggressively and thoroughly challenged in the courts.  None of these tools are socially, or legally, acceptable now and are becoming hugely expensive legal liabilities.  The Left will never stop trying to smuggle them into proper channels, but eternal vigilance is the way.

How BlackRock And The Rest Of The ‘Climate Cartel’ Stacked Exxon’s Board With Fossil Fuel Hater

A recent House Judiciary Committee report details how America’s largest financial institutions, colluding with climate activists, imposed radical environmental policies on the American economy, subverting both our self-government and free markets. It focuses on the successful effort to insert climate activist directors on the board of energy giant ExxonMobil. 

According to the report, there is “substantial evidence of a ‘climate cartel’ of financial institutions” including the “Big Three” asset managers (BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard), several massive state pension funds, European investment firms, and the two foreign-owned proxy advisory firms that dominate the American market.

and,

But what about the Big Three’s fiduciary duty to invest solely in their clients’ best financial interests? Even lawyers affiliated with the environmental activist group Climate Action 100+ — of which both BlackRock and State Street were members — thought that “the economic and social costs” of Paris Agreement compliance “are so high” that they do not align with the fiduciary duty that asset managers owe their clients.

On the upside, the Exxon vote brought the cartel’s radical climate activism out in the open. Not surprisingly, people reacted. State legislators passed fiduciary duty legislation. Republican AGs sent letters to the Big Three, alleging that they had violated their fiduciary duties, and Tenessee filed a lawsuit against BlackRock. Eleven states filed an antitrust case against the Big Three. And now we have the House Judiciary Committee finding of “substantial evidence of collusion and anticompetitive behavior” with the Trump administration about to take office.

These lawsuits can and will cost these arrogant punks like Jack Fink at Black Rock millions, if not billions, of dollars.  So sad.

    Good morning
    At 1am I have about an inch of wet snow on the ground. It’s a lot more impressive on the ground than it is falling from the sky.
    I remember these huge flakes in snows I saw in Germany. Not so much here.

    I started a new streaming series. Season 2 has recently begun.

    It is called Rogue Heroes and it is the story of crazy British special forces black ops guys in WWII North Africa.

    Guaranteed you’ll be hooked by half way through the second episode of Season 1, gentlemen.

    Note: Great soundtrack, too. Why is it that most of these streaming series have such great music?

    There is an old privet shrub about 20′ outside my kitchen window. The branches and foliage are thick so all the little sparrows and wrens live in there or hangout waiting for bird food.

    Yesterday, in the early morning I was making coffee and noticed it was extremely quiet in our small wildlife sanctuary. I knew the hawks were out because of the snow. It was too cold for cats. All of the sudden this big old Eastern Red-tailed Hawk came diving down into the privet bush and all the little birds escaped because the dumb hawk got himself all tangled up in the dense branches and almost couldn’t get out.

    I’ve read several red-pill confessions from Big Tech guys recently. I don’t remember which one it was that said the writer at Pirate Wires kept reporting Ukrainian soldiers were wearing Swastika decals on their helmets or uniforms. All the international media would ask them to cover or remove the helmets before photos and video.

    This guy didn’t believe it until he found a mention of it buried deep in a New York Times article. This started the Tech dude into research in which he discovered he had been lied to repeatedly by the MSM. He voted for Donald Trump.

    Good Morning Hamsters,

    We’ve been stuck at 27 degrees outside since yesterday morning and had maybe an inch of sleet and snow since then. We’re beginning to wonder if our thermometer is frozen. The power grid seems to be doing its job.

    Little wrens hang around the house in their small nests when they return from looking for food. They don’t hesitate to holler at larger birds that come too close to their territory. The bigger ones give up easily.

    Our neighbors must also be staying home as advised by the weather folk since we haven’t seen anybody coming or going and no tire tracks in the snow on the road.

    Thanks to Texpat for keeping us informed about the continuing collapse of the Dems in the shadow of Mr. Trump.

    It wasn’t only high-tech weaponry. There were delays in delivering rifles and handguns, too.

    President Donald Trump signed an executive order today removing all restrictions on U.S. weapons shipments to Israel that were previously imposed by the Biden administration. The move was hailed by Israeli leaders as a significant step in safety and security for Israel.

    During former president Joe Biden’s administration, restrictions were placed on certain arms transfers to Israel following international concerns over the use of advanced U.S. weaponry in conflicts with Gaza. Vice President Kamala Harris, reportedly pushed for tighter scrutiny of military aid to Israel. This led to delays and limitations on high-tech arms deliveries, including precision-guided munitions.

    Additionally, Trump signed a sweeping order overturning 66 of Biden’s executive orders and 12 of his presidential memorandums, including the February 1st, 2024, Executive Order 14115, which targeted Israelis living in Judea and Samaria whom the Biden White House designated as “extremist settlers.”

    The U.S. has provided Israel with a written guarantee that Jerusalem can resume its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip if negotiations for the second and third phases of the ceasefire agreement fail, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told JNS on Tuesday.

    U.S. President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden have provided Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with an official missive confirming that “the State of Israel will be able to return to the war on day 43” if talks fail during the 42-day first phase of the agreement, Smotrich said, speaking at a meeting of his Religious Zionism Party in the Knesset in Jerusalem.

    This guarantee was also given to Netanyahu during phone calls with Trump and American government officials, the finance minister said, adding, “These two things together create an American guarantee allowing us to return to war.”

    I stayed up to watch “The Help” last night – such a good movie. Slept late, and then this morning’s rosary took longer than usual. (I’m getting rid of that wire, it’s not worth the headache.) Rested the back on the couch while “Red Dawn” ended, so now finally at the computer, looking out of my windows to admire the pretty snow.

    I was just wondering what next year’s pecan harvest will be like. It’s been pretty poor the last few years. Will snow encourage more production?

    The local news station that I usually listen to has complete, wall-to-wall coverage of the weather. I can give it to you in five seconds: “It’s flippin’ cold, there’s ice and snow, most everything is closed, stay inside until it melts in a day or so.” I mean, really. It’s like the ridiculous hurricane coverage. The weather ain’t gonna change much in the next hour – do something other than “OOOOoooohhh! White stuff!” over and over and over and over and over…

    Anyway, off to the C&C, it should be delicious.

    C&C: Open the Drains

    Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! And what an exciting and amazing Tuesday it is. The last 12 hours has been a whirlwind of late-night executive sessions and a monumental amount of work behind the scenes. He’s actually doing it! He’s draining the Swamp. It is happening. It’s practically a whole new country, America 2.0, a long overdue upgrade.

    *****

    President Trump is like a nuclear-powered Energizer Bunny. Clang! Clang! Clang! He and JD Vance began the day yesterday by taking their oaths…A long day followed…signing executive orders at the Capitol, and headlining another rally, where he signed even more orders. I’m not sure he even stopped to use the bathroom. Then Trump ended the day by going back to the Oval Office to sign even more executive orders, taking reporters unscripted questions between each one.

    He just kept going and going and going.

    But…but…but…he’s old! I mean, like Biden old! Right? It ain’t age, honey, it’s mental and physical agility. My grandpa was totally with up until the last few months of his 94 years. He could’ve whipped Sleepy Joe ten years ago. Except Grandpa was dead. But you know what I mean.

    Trump signed so many orders that corporate media can’t keep up….

    A Jerusalem Post sub-headline summarized, “The overall picture emerging from Trump’s first day and his overall doctrine is that he wants to reverse what he sees are mistakes from the last four years.”

    The sub-headline was partly right. For instance, Trump signed orders exiting the U.S. from both the Paris Climate Accords and the World Health Organization. Buh bye. Again. He stripped 52 top “national security officials” of their security clearances,….for their election-interfering lies about Hunter’s laptop. Trump restored Mount McKinley’s original name. He deleted the entire federal DEI office and ordered the government to recognize that “sex” and “gender” are synonymous.

    Restoration.

    Winning. It is fabulous.

  39. Tedtam Avatar
    Tedtam

    More C&C:

     That list gets nowhere close even to accounting for just reversals. Trump also signed another order expressly reversing 78 different Biden executive orders and memoranda. He canceled the “CBP One” app that allows migrants to apply for asylum with one-touch ordering, fueling tearful coporate media interviews with illegals whose free cell phones stopped working at 12:01pm.

    And Milley’s portrait has been removed. I hope it was burned. Or hung in effigy.

    And is anyone catching these liberal tears for their coffee?

    Apart from “reversing the mistakes from the last four years,” Trump also turned an executive freeze-ray on large swathes of government, including all foreign aid, all new regulations, all new refugee admissions, and all non-emergency hiring, until his Administration can get its arms around things. I’m not sure anything like that broad, operational suspension of government has ever happened before during peacetime. It will throw a monkey wrench into any resistance.

    /snip

    Finally, before we get to the good part, another fascinating development is worth noting. In the hours following Trump’s swearing in yesterday, the Senate was working. It voted to confirm former Florida Senator Marco Rubio as Trump’s Secretary of State, dynamiting the disgraceful Antony Blinken out of the job. Senate committees also advanced Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense) and John Ratcliffe (CIA Director).

    And Trump began draining the swamp, by implementing Schedule F. Thanks, Vivek, for making this suggestion well-known during his campaign:

    … The draining started with the federal workforce. First, Trump implemented “Schedule F,” an idea that came too late during his first term, which makes it much easier to fire underperforming federal employees.

    He is also ordering federal employees to actually show up for work!! What a concept! And probably a rude awakening for many of them. Mr. C. points out that DC traffic is probably chaos, as folks try to figure out where their offices are.

    More on the swamp draining (SD):

    Behind the headlines and apart from the executive orders, a deep-state massacre has begun to unfold, a government-wide reorganization the New York Times hyperbolically labeled “a Day 1 blood bath.” Pink slips went out to over a thousand political appointees embedded throughout the bureaucracy, including an assistant director here, a handful of managers there, all four judges on the immigration court, and so on.

    Speculation: Was Trump serious about redirecting the 88K new, armed IRS agents to help with all of those illegals at the border? I would love that!

    Mr. C. credits the Heritage Foundation for all of their groundwork in preparation for inauguration day. Having a list for the changes and pink slips ahead of time means Trump could wade into the swamp and find the drain plug without hesitation. The “Project 2025” had always targeted the clearnig of the swamp.

    What we’re witnessing is the ripened fruit of the much-maligned ‘Project 2025’ that we’ve heard so much progressive whining about. Project 2025 was always designed to drain the swamp. That’s why the Left was so scared of it and maligned it so publicly.

    Look I am sorry you think me a Debbie Downer, but we walk on thin ice when we do not consider the word of God,

    While people are saying, “Peace and security,”
    This phrase reflects a false sense of safety and complacency among people. In the historical context of the Roman Empire, “peace and security” was a common slogan, as the Pax Romana promised stability and order. Biblically, this mirrors the warnings of false prophets in Jeremiah 6:14 and Ezekiel 13:10, who proclaimed peace when there was none. It highlights the danger of trusting in worldly assurances rather than in God.

    On to the Jan 6 hostages, using Trump’s term:

    The Washington Post ran its version of the story under the headline, “Trump pardons almost all involved in Jan. 6 riot, commutes remaining 14 sentences.” First, note WaPo’s use of the word “riot” and not “insurrection.” The sub-headline added, “Trump ordered those still incarcerated to be released immediately from federal prison.” And releases did immediately start last night, with many political prisoners streaming out of the federal jails and overjoyed family members posting on social media.

    Trump, et al, had always hedged on the blanket pardon, so this complete pardoning action took many by surprise. All but 14 were pardoned, and those remaining 14 had sentences commuted, and pardons are pending as they are investigated more completely.

    … Trump’s proclamation yesterday granted a “complete and unconditional pardon” to anyone charged or convicted for any offenses related to the January 6th protest. The total —that we know of— is nearly 1,600, — but it was broad enough to include people the DOJ hasn’t found yet, which will be a great relief for a whole lot of folks.

    I don’t know about y’all, but I felt like I could breathe a little more freely once the oat was taken.

    Trump had returned Hamas hostages and hostage families on stage with him at one point, with yellow scarves. This was as he mentioned the J6 hostages – he was making a harsh comparison:

    … With the Hamas hostages standing in the same frame, Trump called our J6 political prisoners “the January 6th hostages.

    In other words, Trump compared our J6 prisoners to the Hamas hostages.

    Think about the scathing significance of that harsh comparison. The Hamas operatives who captured the innocent civilian hostages were war criminals, barbaric terrorists and rapists.

    In other words, Trump compared Democrats to Hamas terrorists.

    It was quietly and skillfully done and it was easy to miss. But it was there. And it was obviously conceived in advance and executed with precision, as was the rest of the swamp-draining Trump unplugged yesterday.

    I’m not sure Washington has ever seen anything like this. They will be completely discombobulated today, and if anything, it looks the most like Trump’s Team has plans to accelerate. The Resistance may never catch its balance.

    Mr. C. points out that one favor the meat puppet did for Trump was to set precedent for big, comfy, blankety pardons:

    Here’s another white-hot take for you: Joe Biden deserves some of the credit for these terrific, broad J6 pardons. As you know, Biden pre-emptively pardoned human cockroach Fauci, the entire evidence-destroying J6 Committee, treasonous General Mark Milley, and Joe’s whole Biden Crime Family — and that final group was pardoned mere minutes before noon yesterday when Biden’s term officially ended.

    People were understandably infuriated by the Biden pardons. But they should also recognize that Biden’s unprecedented pre-emptive pardons also made Trump’s universal, pre-emptive J6 pardons politically possible. Indeed, it’s not just these pardons. Over the last four years, Biden busily destroyed many so-called “political norms” —with corporate media cheering him on— which now makes draining the swamp more politically possible.

    It’s actually quite remarkable how helpful Biden’s horrible presidency is turning out to be.

    Just as God can take the horrible and hurtful and use it to His ends, Trump can take a page from that book and do the same. Goose, meet gander. And suck it.

    Biden’s pardons made the J6 pardons politically cheap. After what Biden’s done, the media doesn’t want to get into trying to compare and contrast the two sets of pardons. Corporate media is cunning enough to recognize that argument is a quagmire and a slough of the first order.

    And about that rat Fauci pardon – it ain’t over yet:

    Please recognize that this Fauci thing isn’t over, not by a long shot. His pardon has some legal problems. There may be other ways to get at him. But I’m about to make a very unpopular argument, so get ready: I don’t care that much about Fauci’s pardon. He is spry, but he’s eighty-four years old. Even if he were legally and properly charged, he would still be in his nineties by the time the appeals were done and so forth. They’d never lock him up, if he lives that long.

    Mr. C. points out the Fauci may be pardoned – but his co-conspirators did not! All of those NIH folks who clammed up so they could make their millions, the EcoHealth snakes, etc.

    …. And they all need jail cells. In a perverse way, Fauci’s pardon clears him off the deck, exposing the next crime layer down, a layer including the people who actually did the dirty work. With the human cockroach out of the picture, rightly or wrongly, we can now pursue Fauci’s many co-conspirators, who are just as guilty than he is, if not more so. And there are a lot of them.

    …not even one day into the new Administration— we can already see the levels of swamp water beginning to sink.

    Ready or not, here it comes.

    I’m ready. Been ready.

    Vladimir Putin:

    Speaking of peace with Ukraine, Putin said in the hours immediately following Trump’s swearing-in: “The goal should not be a temporary ceasefire, a short-term pause for regrouping forces and rearming to continue the conflict later, but a lasting peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people and nations living in the region.”

    Those words don’t exactly jibe with Putin’s Biden-era dismissals of Ukraine’s sovereignty and right to exist as an independent nation.

    Most all the snow here has evaporated.

      Snow is holding fast here on our yards so far despite no leaves on the many trees and the temp at a cold, windy 37 degrees. Pastures with taller grasses are showing the most green places. The sparkles on the snow in the sun is lovely to behold. Snow on our roads is not deep enough to warrant plowing and likely will be gone tomorrow.

      Still very few neighbors outside going someplace or just walking around.

    My yard is saying, “Snow? What snow? You cra-cra?”

    Our yard is still mostly blanketed with white, with stalks of grass poking through. I’ll be interested to see how much is left tomorrow.

    I predict that there will be little if any frozen patches on the roads tomorrow. I think all the bridges and overpasses I might cross have already been treated anti-ice stuff.

    Still snowing here, since 11 AM and we have a pretty good covering. I don’t know enough about to to measure snow but I think we may have 3″-4″ I say that because it looks like 6″ or so to me.

      All you need is a 12-inch ruler or a yard stick depending how tall the mound is. Stick it down into the tallest part of the snowbank and see where the measuring stick’s top stops in it. Presto.

        Thanks, that was the way I was going to do it but I didn’t know if that was accurate.

    Here is a picture shot from the back door but the snow is so white you can’t see the end of the porch. The cheap phone over compensated. The snow comes all the way to the back wall and the boards are covered so you can’t see the joints.

      On or near the Eastern Seaboard, you eventually get real snow whether you want it not. Just because you’re near the Gulf doesn’t make you immune either.

    I just watched Bret Baier interview Oracle’s Larry Ellison, Softbank’s CEO and Sam Altman the AI guru and it was amazing. They have just completed building the largest computer man has ever built in history in the state of Texas. Phenomenal.

    DC jails are holding back on releasing the J6 political prisoners. Send in the Nat’l Guard tomorrow morning to rescue all who are still in prison/jail/detention.

    Lil Dawg went out to do her business and couldn’t deal with the deep snow that came up to her belly. She gave it her best shot and made 5 separate trips slogging out through the snow, so I bundled up and got the leaf blower to blaze a trail and it worked pretty good but what a wet mess that was. This was about dark after the snow had slowed down but by the time Dawg went out again it had filled up about half way.
    Oh and I stick a yard stick into the snow in several places and at dark it showed 6″ but it has snowed a little since then.

    I’ll add that in the big snow of 73 we got a little over a foot of snow, drifts to 3 feet. That was the first time that it snowed in Miami or so they said.
