WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Donald Trump has established a sizable lead over President Joe Biden in the White House race since the two candidates debated last week, according to separate opinion polls published on Wednesday by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Biden vowed to stay in the 2024 presidential
race during a call with campaign staff on Wednesday and sought to reassure top Democrats on Capitol Hill that he is fit for reelection, despite his halting, shaky debate performance last week. The New York Times and Siena College poll showed Trump, a Republican, building a 6 percentage...

[Catholic Caucus] “Before the Egghead Fell Off the High Wall and Shattered into a Thousand Pieces”: Charlier on GrilloThe devotional map of the late 19th century depicts the Holy Mass as the center of the unity of the triumphant, struggling and suffering Church. As in heaven, so also on earth.If Andrea Grillo
were a professor at a German theological faculty, we could confidently put his interview to one side—irrelevant drivel, like most of what is produced by theology professors. But although he would fit very well into the German environment, his position as a liturgy teacher at a papal university...

The retirement Catch-22
Wall Street wants boomers to work longer. But nobody wants to hire them.

Business insider ^
| 18th June 2024 | Ann C Logue
In the coming years, the retirement-age population will balloon to its largest size yet, drawing down Social Security funds, overwhelming retirement homes, and leaving a labor shortage in its wake. Larry
Fink, the 71-year-old CEO of the asset-management behemoth BlackRock, offered a two-part solution to the looming retirement crisis in his annual March letter to shareholders. In order to avoid economic catastrophe, he argued, people should save more money and work longer. "What if the government and the private sector treated 60-plus year-olds as late-career workers with much to offer rather than people who should retire?" Fink wrote. The current...

Wall Street firms part of ‘climate cartel,’ colluded to curb emissions: House report
|

NY Post ^
| 6/11/24 | Ariel Zilber
A “climate cartel” made up of left-wing advocacy groups and Wall Street firms have colluded to force American companies to reduce carbon emissions, a congressional committee charged in a scathing report Tuesday. The interim report is the first of its kind produced by the Republican-led Judiciary Committee in the House since it
launched an investigation in late 2022 into whether corporate efforts to tackle climate change violate antitrust laws. It accused business groups and advocacy organizations of “muzzling corporate free speech” and “handcuffing company leadership” through “ever-escalating pressure tactics,” which included “taking out” directors at firms that are deemed “recalcitrant.”...

Over the past year, we’ve heard the Biden Administration brag about how many “new jobs” it was supposedly created; the only problem is those positions did not benefit Americans. Since July 2018, there has been no increase in employment for native-born workers in the U.S., according to data from Wall Street.

Morning Joe Furiously Attacks Wall St. Journal Article on Biden's 'Slipping' Mental Acuity

With Joe Scarborough leading the charge, today's Morning Joe mounted a furious attack against yesterday's Wall Street Journal article, "Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping." The article really was nothing much more than a recapitulation of what is obvious to anyone who has observed Biden in recent times. Although
he has his relatively cogent moments—notably during this year's State of the Union—Biden suffers "senior moments" with such regularity that the Free Beacon has been cataloging them every week -- now at Week 96 and counting. Joe Scarborough, soccer fan that he is, committed an horrendous own goal in...

• Reporter says he witnessed illegals 'posing for selfies and pictures in front of our border wall, as if it's a tourist attraction, or a great background for their Tiktok or Instagram.' Cameras captured illegal aliens taking photos and selfies along the US-Mexico border wall after unlawfully crossing into the country, completely
unconcerned with exploiting the open border.“[They’re] coming in with no fear of deportation, no fear of removal,” reported Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin.

Disturbing footage shows a terrified autistic 19-year-old desperately asking cops to listen to him before he hit his head repeatedly and died in custody. Isaiah
Trammell, was taunted, belittled and threatened by nine guards as he begged for his medication at the Montgomery County Jail in Ohio in March, 2023. In surveillance videos obtained by The Columbus Dispatch, officers are seen telling the autistic man he was 'ridiculous,' 'embarrassing' and 'acting like an a**.' Trammell was strapped into a restraint chair twice and threatened a third time if he did not calm down. Unable to calm himself, Trammell proceeded to...

Billionaires are putting their influence and money behind Donald Trump, a wave of support that is helping the former President narrow his fundraising gap with President Joe Biden. The latest example came last week with the news that Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, after years of keeping his distance from Trump, is now
a supporter. A collection of familiar GOP names announced their support for Trump in recent months. They include figures like Robert Bigelow and Nelson Peltz. Both have donated to Republicans for years. Both distanced themselves from Trump after Jan. 6. Both are now back on board. Robert Bigelow,...

There's damage all over the Greater Houston area after a thunderstorm brought powerful wind and heavy rain. At
least four people were killed, Mayor John Whitmire said, and he urged everyone to stay off the roads and stay safe.

The Green Energy Wall Can't Arrive Quickly Enough

We are fast approaching something I have called the “Green Energy Wall.” The “Wall” consists of some combination of real-world obstacles, partly cost and partly physics, that will inevitably end the quest for emissions-free “net zero” electricity generation well before the goal of zero emissions is reached. I
first identified the approaching Wall in this post in December 2021, and remarked that it was “gradually coming into focus” in this follow-up post in November 2023. Everyone who pays attention and is capable of doing basic arithmetic knows that the we are approaching this Wall, some jurisdictions much faster than others....

Wall Street Journal: Biden’s Migration Spikes Interest, Mortgage Rates

Breitbart ^
| 05/12/2024 | NEIL MUNRO
President Joe Biden’s policy of mass migration is forcing up housing inflation, so pushing up interest rates and mortgage rates, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Housing prices should have dropped amid the recent supply of new apartments and homes, but have “not behaved the way we thought it
would,” said Austan Goolsbee, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.. “I still think it will, but if it doesn’t, we’re going to have a hard time” bringing inflation back down to the target of 2 percent, Goolsbee told the Journal for a May 11 article.

John Leguizamo Says ‘Build-the-Wall’ Trump Is Swaying Latino Voters Because ‘We Don’t Give a Flying - About Immigration’

THE WRAP ^
| May 6, 2024 | Sharon Knolle
John Leguizamo thinks that Democrats take Latino voters “for granted” — and that it could come back to bite them in November’s presidential election between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Speculating how Trump, who campaigned in 2016 off a “build the wall” platform along the U.S.-Mexico border, could sway the Latino
vote in 2024, the comedian and “Daily Show” guest host admitted Monday that “we don’t give a flying F about immigration.” “It looks like the Democrats are in trouble and you might be thinking, how is this possible Donald Trump is winning Latinos?” Leguizamo said while guest hosting...
