Another article on the two Democrat candidates for senator in Georgia. For anyone thinking helping them win by donating funds, read this first. This article says a lot about the candidates and, by implication, the Democrat Party as a whole.
Anybody who believes Raphael Warnock is a reasonable person and his past comments have been mischaracterized should read this
This a draft version of a speech i hope Biden will give immediately after the Electoral College votes. It is simply unacceptable that, in our country, the legitimacy of a presidential election can be called into question. After I get comments from you, I will revise this speech to come up with a final version.
The Democrats and virtually the entire media are complaining that Trump is attempting to delegitimize Biden’s election. And, we shouldnt do that; its bad for the country. They’d be more credible if they hadn’t done the same thing repeatedly.
This anonymous essays defines the term “gaslighting” and gives a number of examples Think of other examples for yourself.
Stakeholder Capitalism is morphing into “woke” capitalism and it is a terrible idea. Mr. Abela does a good job in defining why that is the case. Obviously, I agree with him.
This article from the WSJ is a good introduction in explaining what stock buybacks are, and the pros and cons of utilizing them. It is very even-handed in explaining what proponents and detractors believe. If you want to know the arguments, this is a good read. What it doesn’t do, and should have done, is take on the argument directly and explain clearly why and how stock buybacks actually help the economy grow. In sum, detractors say buybacks reduce investments in growth opportunities and make shareholders richer, as opposed to paying workers more. In fact, companies have money for buybacks because they do not have good opportunities for investment in their own companies. Rather than simply building cash reserves, which create no economic benefit, companies return the excess cash to shareholders by increasing share value. Shareholders can than take that return and invest it more productive activities. Its a win-win.
There are large gaps in the status between blacks and other Americans. Many blame these differences on bias across almost all institutions, processes and businesses. Heather MacDonald utterly destroys their thesis with data and facts. The gap is not due to bias, it’s due to a skills gap. Efforts to solve the problem by treating the problem as bias related will only continue to divide the country and maintain the gap.
What the press hailed as a unity speech by Biden was actually a very divisive one, again raising the issue of “systemic racism”, a flaw attributed to President Trump and all his white supporters. Why “systemic”? Because no one can actually point to an individual who is making decisions because of racism. And, if its systemic, its the fatal flaw in all white people. Heather nails the double standard in his speech and in the reaction to it.
This is an outstanding review of a truly terrible book by Robin DiAngelo that has become a best seller. The book purports to describe the sources of systematic racism in our country and how whites should change to reduce or eliminate the racism within them. Coleman Hughes does a masterful job of skewering her thinking, her logic and her prescriptions. I do not urge you to read the book. This review will tell you what she says so you can hold your own if any misguided progressive brings it up and you may be better able to understand why the racial divide is only getting deeper..
