When management consulting firm McKinsey declared in 2015 that it had found a link between profits and executive racial and gender diversity, it was a breakthrough. The research was used by investors, lobbyists and regulators to push for more women and minority groups on boards, and to justify investing in companies that appointed them. Unfortunately, the research doesn’t show what everyone thought it showed. ... Since 2015, the approach has been tested in the fire of the marketplace and failed. Academics have tried to repeat McKinsey’s findings and failed, concluding that there is in fact no link between profitability and...

uestions have been raised as to whether Gavin Newsom should replace President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee, but polls suggest the California governor would still lose to Donald Trump. Fears over Biden's reelection hopes increased following the president's performance during the CNN debate on Thursday. During the debate, Biden, who has faced concerns about his age as he seeks a second term, gave a number of incoherent and confusing responses to questions while also trailing off and not completing his sentences. Biden's voice also appeared hoarse, which his campaign team said was due to a cold. The performance...

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family at Camp David on Sunday, following a nationally televised debate Thursday that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump in November, according to five people familiar with the matter. [Snip] So far, the party’s top leaders have offered public support for Biden, including in tweets posted by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Senior congressional Democrats, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Nancy Pelosi of California, have privately...

Talk like a Federal Reserve Governor! A number of pominent cheerleaders (economists) have come out before CNN debate to claim that another Trump Presidency will generate even worse inflation than it has under Biden. Really? Before Covid struck in 2020, the last CPI YoY reading for Trump was only 2.34%. It rose to 9% YoY under Biden in June 2022. How did this happen? Federal binge spending and reckless Federal Reserve monetary policy. The Nobel Prize -winning “economists” seem to have forgotten the unprecented money printing and interest rate suppression when Covid srtuck in 2020. Of course, inflation soared after...

In his editorial New Rule, Bill delivers the TED Talk that young people who lack game need to hear.

President Joe Biden is reportedly set to discuss the future of his re-election campaign on Sunday with his family at Camp David. The development, first reported by NBC News Saturday night, come days after his disastrous debate performance. There, the commander-in-chief faced off with Donald Trump, stumbling over his words and losing his train of thought in the process. While Biden's trip to the 125-acre country retreat located in the hills of northern Maryland was planned ahead of Thursday's disastrous performance, the Saturday getaway will serve as a break in the campaign trail with his children and grand children. Any...

A major newspaper in a vital swing state has issued a shocking front page ultimatum for Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race following his 'excruciating' debate flop. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote that 'retirement is now necessary' for the 81-year-old incumbent - asking him to pass the torch to a more competent candidate. 'The unfortunate truth is that Biden should withdraw from the race, for the good of the nation he has served so admirably for half a century,' the editorial board wrote in an op-ed that appeared on the front page of Georgia's largest newspaper Saturday.

Michigan Democrats passed a sweeping $83 billion state budget, cutting teachers’ pensions and school-safety spending to fund ambitious new business projects — and more than $330 million for lawmakers’ pet projects. Thursday was a difficult day for Republicans, who “were given 45 minutes roughly to read the bill,” a 1,000+-page document, according to state Rep. Ann Bollin. **SNIP** With their extensive control of Michigan’s government bodies, Democrats are earmarking massive funds to specific businesses, as well. As state Rep. Mike Harris said, “The budget earmarks $17 million for zoos, $2 million for a boxing gym, $5 million for a theater,...

Still no sticker shock, Janet? Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was spotted stocking up on groceries on Saturday — after dismissing a question about inflation and rising food prices earlier this week. Yellen, 77, and her husband, economist George Akerlof, stopped by a Giant Food store in Washington, DC, after grabbing lunch at Japanese restaurant Raku. The millionaire couple had six security people in tow but pushed their own carts full of reusable Fresh Direct grocery bags out of the store after stocking up. Yellen — who is worth an estimated $20 million — drew criticism this week when she appeared...

Joe Biden is going to be the Democrat nominee despite initial leftist panic in the aftermath of Thursday’s debate, Trump senior adviser Jason Miller said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. Miller said it is ironic that the same Democrats and members of the establishment media who were accusing the Trump campaign and supporters of spreading “cheap fakes” — viral videos showcasing Biden’s decline — are now saying, “‘Joe, it might be time for you to move on,’ or, ‘This wasn’t too good of a look.'” “So, let’s go through some of the people in a very dangerous level...

Octogenarian President Biden has difficulty functioning outside a six-hour window of daylight, according to an alarming new report. The 81-year-old commander in chief is prone to absent-minded gaffes and fatigue outside of the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or while traveling abroad, White House aides told Axios in a bizarre attempt to spin his disastrous debate performance. During the 90-minute trainwreck of a presidential debate — which kicked off five hours after the president’s peak performance window, at 9 p.m. — Biden often appeared vacant or slack-jawed, and on several occasions froze mid-thought, misspoke, or struggled to form...

Democrats have several high-profile candidates who could step in, but no party in modern U.S. history has ever tried to forcibly replace its presidential nominee. Between the lines: The easiest way to replace Biden would be for the president to decide to withdraw from the race — g

President Biden went to a posh fundraiser at a New Jersey mansion Saturday and reportedly claimed to the crowd that his gaffe-filled, disastrous debate against Donald Trump actually converted undecided voters to his camp. The 81-year-old Commander-in-Chief made the dubious declaration at a private event at the home of New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, which his wife announced had raised $3.7 million, NJ.com reported. While Biden admitted to the small crowd that his debate performance was lackluster — prompting several major newspapers to call on him to bow out of his reelection bid — he said voters interpreted the event...

Minutes after President Biden wrapped up his shocking debate performance against Donald Trump, first lady Jill Biden rushed to his side and helped him walk offstage — while Democrats across the country plunged into full-blown panic. Later that night, at an Atlanta hotel, she praised the 81-year-old president’s efforts, creating a stunning split-screen contrast with TV anchors and pundits still stupefied by Biden’s bumbling presentation. “Joe, you did such a great job answering every question. You knew all the facts,” she said to cheers. Eight years her husband’s junior, Jill’s efforts to prop up the Biden presidency have come into...

In 524 BC, a force of 50,000 Persian soldiers travelled across the Western Desert of Egypt. Their intended target was The Oracle of Amun, however the army would not make it.
