New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James's office this week, expressed concerns about the company that posted former President Donald Trump's $175 million bond. Trump posted the sum on Monday as part of a New York civil fraud case against him. The original sum was markedly higher at $464 million, though the New York appeals court last month reduced it to the $175 million amount. James's office, however, indicated Thursday that it had doubts about Knight Specialty Insurance Company and demanded either it or Trump prove the firm could afford to pay the sum. "Defendants or (Knight) shall file a...

Diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, was the hot thing in corporate America a few years ago. Now: not so much. Why it matters: The business community, long averse to political risks or controversies, backed away from DEI programs over the past two years in the wake of widespread attacks from lawmakers, high-profile rich guys and conservative activists like former Trump aide Stephen Miller. The big picture: Companies that never cared much about DEI, or that fear lawsuits over programs, are using the moment to back away. Others are sticking with these efforts but doing it quietly. Between the lines:...

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., recognized as the country’s largest producer of fresh eggs, announced on Tuesday that it has temporarily suspended operations at one of its major facilities located in Parmer County, Texas. This drastic measure comes in the wake of a detected outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

This action represents about 3.6% of Cal-Maine Foods’ total flock as of early March 2024, marking a significant loss for the company and the egg industry as a whole.

The left is collectively wetting itself because Donald Trump is promising, to the horror of the regime media and the garbage ruling class, to fight anti-white racism, which is one of the several kinds of bigotries that the leftists love. They also like racism against Asians and Jews and against anybody else who’s conservative regardless of race, but the point of this isn’t to highlight Democrat hypocrisy. Democrats are not hypocrites because you have to believe in the principle that you are ignoring to be a hypocrite, and the Democrats don’t believe anything they say about racism. They are for...

French President Emmanuel Macron's push to deploy troops to Ukraine could yet prove the first domino of an official NATO military presence in the war-torn country, even while Russia's grinding frontline assaults and nationwide bombing campaign continue. The French leader said in late February that "nothing was excluded" with regard to officially putting NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine, though his American and German allies were quick to explicitly, and repeatedly, exclude that possibility. Macron has subsequently maintained his position, even garnering backing from eastern NATO states. This week, the commander of the French ground forces said his troops...

Despite ominous polling data showing former President Donald Trump holding leads in key battleground states, there are strong indications that President Joe Biden is still polling well among the important 3 A.M. mail-in ballot demographic. Democratic strategists expressed confidence that this crucial voting block, which played an important role in his 2020 victory, is still firmly in President Biden's corner, leading many insiders to believe that November's presidential election will turn out differently than current battleground polls indicate.
