'Socialism in sheep's clothing': Pro-market leaders combat ESG, liberal capture of corporate America
State elected leaders describe growing pushback against left's drive to leverage asset management to engineer social change via private sector.
Pro-market elected officials and thought leaders are fighting back against progressive activists' creeping capture of corporate America through the Environmental Social and Governance movement..
ESG investment strategies, increasingly prevalent among large asset management firms, seek to leverage passive investors' assets to steer corporate decision-making to promote progressive social and environmental priorities. ESG has often been compared to the "social credit" system used by China's ruling communist elite to enforce political conformity on its population.

Every region of Chile rejects Communist-drafted constitution promoted by unpopular president
Chileans were not impressed by the far-left constitution promoted by President Gabriel Boric, whose disapproval has shot past 50% since he took office in March with only 20% disapproval.
The Economist reports that all 16 regions of Chile voted against the proposal, whose 388 articles would have guaranteed Chileans more than 100 rights from "nutritionally complete and culturally relevant food" to abortion, universal healthcare and the freedom to develop their "personality, identity and life projects."
The constitution, opposed by 62% of voters, would have also imposed a 50% minimum quota for women on elected bodies and created separate governing and justice systems for indigenous Chileans. The drafting convention members were appointed by a leftist coalition that included the Communist Party.
A pro-constitution event a week before the vote featured a drag queen who "had the national flag pulled out of his rectum while his bandmates encouraged the audience to 'abort Chile,'" the Economist reported.
A Massive Economic Storm Is Already Overhead And Nobody Seems To Notice

A Massive Economic Storm Is Already Overhead And Nobody Seems To Notice
When ominously dark clouds roll in on a hot afternoon driven by a stiff wind, it doesn’t take a crystal ball to know a storm is coming. Yet the economic equivalent is already overhead, and no one seems to notice.
Many people are worried about the economy, and rightly so. Investors looking to the stock market have no sense of direction as major indices and commodity prices fluctuate violently. Potential homebuyers and existing homeowners alike are seeing the housing market in freefall. Workers can find jobs, but it is difficult to find work where the pay keeps up with inflation.
While all the above are troubling, they are not the scariest harbinger today for a worsening recession.

Control and Ignorance Are the Goals of Public Education … and Parents Are Catching On
A recent viral video from the YouTube channel Fleccas Talks showed several man-on-the-street interviews testing young people in New York City on their knowledge of basic facts. Some of the questions focused on American history and civics, while others were simple, numerical-based ones. The results were depressing, as the following samples demonstrate:
Q: “When was America Founded?” A: “Probably like … 1901?”
Q: “Do you know the capital of the United States?” A: “There’s a capital?”
Q: “How many are in one dozen?” A: “Ten?”
Q: “What’s 3 x 3 x 3?” A: “Nine?”
Democratic Socialist Lawyers

Democratic Socialist Lawyers
Doesn't matter what side you are on this is an interesting comment on our country today. And written by a lawyer.
Lawyers
As an attorney, I hesitated to forward this as it can be considered to be an indictment against my profession. But I believe there is much truth to the article below. Very thought provoking. Lawyers are adversarial and are trained to try to win at all costs. It may work in litigation but does not work well when governing our nation. Trying to win at any costs creates the polarization and hatred that now fills our country and leaves no room for common sense or legitimate debate.
Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school, although Gore did not graduate. Joe Biden (no surprise) was at the bottom of his class. Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Barack Obama was a lawyer. Michelle Obama was a lawyer. Hillary Clinton was a lawyer. Bill Clinton was a lawyer. John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer. Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer. Former Senator Harry Reid was a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Trump was a businessman. Presidents Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen. Vice President Cheney was a businessman. President Eisenhower was a 5 star General. The leaders of the Republican Revolution: Newt Gingrich was a history professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist. Ex-House Minority Leader John Boehner was a plastics manufacturer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against actor Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers. This is very interesting. I had never thought about it this way before.
The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Trump, Bush, and Cheney, or who heal the sick like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America. And so, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, we have seen the procession of official enemies grow. Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, which, in this case should be the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side. Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way to govern a great nation.
When politicians, as lawyers, begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties of our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.
Today, we are drowning in laws. We are contorted by judicial decisions. We are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big. When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.
Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.
The United States has 5% of the world's population and 66% of the world's lawyers! Tort or legal reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high.
Why Only Christianity Can Save the West… Again

Why Only Christianity Can Save the West… Again
Hellenistic thought experienced its “golden age” during the the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. This period witnessed the lives of some of history’s greatest philosophers, teachers, authors, and playwrights, and culminated with the spreading of Hellenism by Alexander the Great.
But by the end of the 1st century B.C., Hellenistic thought had been exhausted. Its creative energies had dried up; its ideas had lost their life.
As Harvard professor Georges Florovsky noted in 1957:
“The ‘ancient’ Hellenism, in fact, completed its course, and its internal limitations were spectacularly exposed. In all areas of human existence, the ‘ancient Hellenism’ found itself in a desperate impasse.”

An Appeal to Christians for Home Education
I’m sorry to say this, but we live in a nation that seeks to devour children.
You probably already knew that, especially in consideration of the wickedness that has become more prevalent in recent years and taken hold of every facet of our society. There is nothing slowing down the widespread state of evil within our government, our cities, our schools, and even in some of our churches. However, over the last two years, the evil has taken a darker turn as the attacks on our children have escalated.
Consider the following realities in our country now (and please be warned: some of the links here are graphic and disturbing): Activists are now attempting to normalize sex between adults and minors. Doctors have no problem performing medical experiments on kids, and hospitals are performing hysterectomies, double mastectomies, and phalloplastys (where skin on the forearm or thigh is removed to create a non-functioning penis), on young girls.

Federal judge rules Louisville can’t force Christian photographer to shoot same-sex weddings against her religious beliefs
“The City treats the equal status of same-sex marriages as fixed. As a matter of law, it is. But today’s dispute concerns whether the government may conform speech to that development. Under the First Amendment, it may not. The freedom of speech—especially for minority views—is a core premise of our democratic republic.”

Have Chinese Spies Infiltrated American Elections?

Have Chinese Spies Infiltrated American Elections?
"After the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the continuous development of political and economic reform, all kinds of election activities will become more and more a norm. We have a senior professional team that has been engaged in election service and management for a long time, and we have the experience of overseas election internship and exchange. We can provide the most professional election consulting service and election activity solutions for all places and levels of Party committees, NPCs, CPPCCs, trade unions, overseas Chinese Federation, women's federations, Communist Youth League; villages, towns, streets, communities and units that have the need for election and evaluation of priorities.”
On a now-deleted website for the Chinese company, Jinhua Yulian Network Technology Co., the statement above was written by Eugene Yu, the Founder & CEO of Konnech Inc., a U.S. election company based out of East Lansing, Michigan.
Vulnerable House Dems strike a conservative note, distance themselves from their party

Vulnerable House Dems strike a conservative note, distance themselves from their party
Immanuel Kant said "But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents."
Do Not fall for the Democratic Socialist lie. They are still Democratic Socialist.
Congressional Democrats at risk of losing their seats in November are distancing themselves from their party’s national brand, hoping to appeal to voters with a more conservative law-and-order agenda.
These swing-state incumbents are running on a pro-police, anti-socialist platform that bucks the Democratic Party’s playbook.
As moderate Democrats in districts susceptible to flipping to the GOP, they say they know their constituents better than national party leaders.
“By and large, we are the ones who are closest to our districts,” said Rep. Chris Pappas, an at-risk New Hampshire Democrat. “It’s really important for our leadership to heed the calls of swing district members that are here each and every day.”
Labor Day Is A Celebration Of American Exceptionalism, Job Creators, And Hard Workers
September 5, 2022
Labor Day should be recognized as the holiday that celebrates not only labor, but also the ideas, job creators, and institutions central to the flourishing of the United States and its people.
For most people, Labor Day is a rather vague holiday without the clarity and meaning typically associated with other holidays. Yet in its most complete context, Labor Day should be recognized as the holiday that celebrates not only labor, but also the ideas, job creators, and institutions central to the flourishing of the United States and its people.
For starters, consider the tools brought by the colonists who arrived in the New World along the eastern seaboard that would become the United States. These were the same rudimentary tools — such as shovels, axes, hoes, and ploughs — that had been used for prior centuries. But something happened in America that sped up economic development and transformed labor output beyond what had ever happened previously in human history.

Biden’s Wartime Speech Thursday Against America
September 3, 2022
Biden’s Wartime Speech Thursday night:
Ladies and gentlemen, Despot Joe Biden attacked America
and everything good about America last Thursday night. Some have called it “The Speech from Hell”. The speech reminded me of one given by
presidents in time of war to address America’s enemies. This was a speech by an American President
and his Administration at war with America, it’s values and principles.
As John Locke teaches
us, “Therefore, whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the
property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power,
they [the officials of government] put themselves into a state of war with the
people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience, and are left to
the common refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and
violence. Whensoever, therefore, the legislative shall transgress this
fundamental rule of society, and either by ambition, fear, folly, or
corruption, endeavor to grasp themselves, or put into the hands of any other,
an absolute power over the lives, liberties, and estates of the people, by this
breach of trust they [the government officials] forfeit the power the people
had put into their hands ... and it devolves to the people, who have a right to
resume their original liberty, and ... provide for their own safety and
security.”
The Biden Administration and the Democratic Socialists
have moved down the dark path that John Locke describes so vividly to “destroy”
the God-given rights of life, liberty, and property guaranteed by the
Constitution of the United States.
The Democratic Socialists have proven themselves to be
the agents, harbingers and supporters of “dreadful darkness” as shown by their very
words and deeds.
Let’s remember that in wartime, when one side is
losing, and knows they are losing, they step up the rhetoric against their
enemy accusing them of doing what they themselves are doing. At this time, the Democratic Socialists are losing,
and they know it. And they know that we
know that they are losing.
Neal A. Maxwell, 1978:
Decrease the
belief in God, and you increase the number of those who wish to play at being
God by being “societies supervisors”.
Such “supervisors” deny the existence of divine standards, but they are
very serious about imposing their own standards on society.”
To show they are losing and know it, how many polls do
your see anymore. That’s right, very
few. There has not been one poll concerning
the Inflation Reduction Act (Socialists Constitution Act). Why?
Because the American people know it was based on lies and a sham from
the start. After the Chipmakers bill, a
couple of polls came out and the public weren’t in favor of those lies
either. Right now, about all the polls
you see are trying to convince you that the Democrats are winning and will be
re-elected in November. These are propaganda
polls at their best.
Immanuel Kant said:
“But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil,
whether it be told with good or bad intents.”
Democratic Socialists are running scared right now. Their message is to attack the opposition
accusing them of their own deeds and corruption. Listen to their rhetoric folks. They have “No Principles or Values” to stand on.
The Democratic Socialists will be campaigning, on what
they believe, to be successes in the last 18-19 months. Their ideal of success if far different than
the success Americans have known for the last 246 years. The Democratic Socialists ideal of success is
the destruction of the United States of America and the complete abolishment of
the U.S. Constitution. Their complete success
is when a “New World Order”
is in control of America and Americans.
All of their policies and idealism that has been put into place since January
20, 2021, has been to accomplish that very goal.
But Americans are having nothing to do with this ideology
anymore. Americans have seen the darkness
permeating from the Democratic Socialists and have decided and are deciding to
put out that “dreadful
darkness”.
Americans are Standing Up and Speaking Up against the “dreadful
darkness”. Parents are fighting back
against Perverted school boards and winning.
The “dreaded
darkness” calls them “domestic terrorists” and put them on lists. When school boards were called out for their
anti-American acts and attacks on children, the school boards sued the parent
or parents to keep them away from the schools.
The public school system is seeing millions of students leaving that
public system and going to other educational systems.
Groups are forming all over America to “Stand Up and Speak Up” against
this “dreadful darkness”
that is attacking America’s core Values.
We The People are saying ‘NO MORE”. Enough is
Enough.
Groups have formed to return the U.S. Constitution
back to the school classrooms. Groups are forming
to empower women to be stronger wives and mothers. Groups are forming to help fathers be a
strength to their families. Christian,
Jewish, Muslims, and other faiths are forming Interfaith Groups to strengthen
their neighborhoods and communities.
Good Americans and Citizens are showing their true capacity of Charity
to help the needy and poor. There are millions
and millions of good deeds accomplished every day in America that the “Propaganda Media” doesn’t
want you to hear.
The heart and spirit of America is still strong and
becoming more and more willing to “Stand Up and Speak Up” for what is right and good.
We the People who believe in truth, right, our
Creator, the greatness of America and the Constitution, must now, without
hesitation, be bold in our actions to "Stand Up and Speak Up" to overcome the
philosophies of tyranny and anarchy.
There will be some very sobering days ahead for us. To overcome these challenges, we as citizens
of America will need to exercise our faith, reach out in mighty prayers, and
remain loyal to America. The greatest
challenge is to keep America strong and free.
If we desire for our way of life to endure, we need to keep society
strong, our economy strong, and our faith in our Creator strong. We the People are the ones who will keep the
American hope alive for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
May God Bless America!

Many Americans fear their children and grandchildren will ultimately lose their constitutional freedoms.
Our children deserve to fully understand their God-given rights and ought to have the passion and the will to defend them.
The 917 Society Constitution Program to honor and celebrate Constitution Day is now available in all 50 states in 2022. We have reached out to over 27,000 Middle School Principals to let them know about our free program for their students that is provided by our generous donors.

Modern Americans have long since forgotten the heated and sometimes violent debates which took place in the thirteen colonies between 1775 and 1776 over the issue of morality. As Franklin wrote: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”

Brigham Young:
“Will education feed and clothe you, keep you warm on a cold day, or enable you to build a house? Not at all. Should we cry down education on this account? No. What is it for? The improvement of the mind; to instruct us in all arts and sciences, in the history of the world, in the laws of nations; to enable us to understand the laws and principles of life, and how to be useful while we live.”
