No. If you have a link to a video post it. But I know Cox won and the Hogan backed candidate lost. I really don't care for Hogan and didn't vote for him 2018. Hogan is a fat faggot cuck with a chink wife. He also has a fat chink daughter. I don't know anything about Cox but I won't be voting. I will wait and see what he does first before I decide to support him with a vote. We could always get stuck with the Q-ball nigger or Obammy beaner.

Baldy's coping and seething. He's supposed to be a "decency" and "respectable" Republican, by the way.


He's also not endorsing Dan Cox. I heard that Cox did try to impeach him, but it's Hogan, so based.

David Hogg escorted out of House meeting on assault weapons ban​

Spoiler

David Hogg, a gun control activist and survivor of the 2018 Parkland school shooting, was escorted out of a House Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday after yelling at Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), claiming that the congressman was repeating language used by mass shooters.

Why it matters: The committee was holding a markup on legislation that would ban the sale, import, manufacture or transfer of certain semi-automatic weapons that the bill defines as assault weapons.

What they're saying: After being escorted out of the committee meeting, Hogg said in a social media post that he believed Biggs was repeating talking points that have been found in manifestos written by gunmen who have carried out racially motivated mass shootings.

• Before Hogg interrupted the meeting, Biggs had characterized increased immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border as "an invasion," claiming that immigration was being organized, that immigrants pose a danger and a threat to U.S. communities and that it was being sanctioned by the federal government.
• "You are reiterating the points of mass shooters in their manifestos," Hogg yelled at Biggs.
• "Guess what? Those guns are coming from the United States of America. They aren't coming from Mexico," he added, referring to guns used in mass shootings.
• After Hoggs was escorted out of the committee room, Biggs suggested that he had staged "an insurrection" by interrupting an official proceeding.

The big picture: The bill, which may pass the House but is unlikely to pass the Senate, would ban semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns that have certain magazine capacities and other attachments.

• The bill comes after at least four gunmen used semi-automatic, AR-15-style rifles to kill a combined 42 people in mass shootings in the last two months, including 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last month.
• President Biden, who supports a federal assault weapons ban, signed the most significant federal gun legislation in nearly three decades into law last month after it received bipartisan support in Congress.
• It included enhanced background checks for those under 21, funding for mental health and school safety, incentives for states to implement "red flag" laws and limits on the "boyfriend loophole."

I was wondering about this and found out an article about AMLO's energetic reform, apparently the main point of this reform is to make energy production in Mexico self-sustainable and limit energy production from private foreign companies (this would include US and Canada)
"go steal somewhere else"
AMLO said about the companies that were about to get shafted by this.
So Canada and the US said this reform violated the T-MEC treaty between all 3 nations (that also covers energy production) and are threatening to come down and audit, meanwhile AMLO said the reform didn't violate the treaty and that there's nothing to fear and then playing the video of the song that translates to
"oooh how scary, look at me trembling" in a mocking fashion

I am certain AMLO (who totally isn't backed by the cartels) is just trembling at the thought of getting sternly worded letters from Trudeau and Biden. He's literally shaking he's so scared of those two.

I'm not sure if that's a poll about political popularity or a case study on how retarded the black community is.

The difference between Trump and Biden is clear as day, he would had NEVER dared doing this shit while Trump was in the throne.
He was actually criticized by Mexican media (paid by US interest of course) of being a Trump lapdog and not being confrontational enough and not telling Trump to go fuck himself, but of course once Biden got in and he started to get cocky the media started to bash him relentlessly for being confrontative when
"We are better than that and we should all be about peace and unity uwu"
Mexican media is nothing more than another arm of the Soros octopus

Getting lost in recent press briefings. I was trying to see if the white house announced anything about the ukraine chick coming but didn't find it yet. There was this exchange from earlier today that prompted me to look more into the student loan promise.

Turns out August 31st is when the latest student loan covid deferment ends. And even the press seems to be aware Biden is probably gonna do nothing. Most news sites are reporting what-if clickbait type stuff or bills that will go nowhere. I graduated with a degree and $25,000 in debt. I lived at home and did NOTHING but worked for a year solid to pay it all off. That was over 10 years ago, and the "go to college, it's your only option" narrative was DRILLED into my head. Now it is literally "you can work an office job making 17 bucks an hour but you will have a 300 dollar a month payment." People know this and still willingly go to college with no direction. I feel I at least had the excuse that from age 0 to 18, I was told I need to go to college to have a chance in life (As I work my blue collar job right now doing fine). I suppose we shall see how the polls go when all the college kids realize Biden lied about the loans to get elected. Some other stats about loans

Also this is actually what I wanted to post. :Islamic Content:

Kill me now. And what's this bullshit about AOC being a rape survivor? That's new. I love these progressive female politicians, they're like reading a bad fanfic. Every time they need some new shit int heir backstory, suddenly whoops, did we forget to mention that?

It's a good thing that Mexican journalists regularly get eaten like a minnow in a bass lake by the Cartel or the government.

Having a close relationship with Mexico for the past 40 years, there are some very good, true to the cause journalists. But they inevitably get whacked. Maybe American journalists could learn something here?

I don't think anyone has the illusion that Millenials and Gen Z are competent.

Some may even say the older generation actively handicapped them so they wouldn't take their power. But once again, they failed to see the consequence of that and now no one is there to step into their shoes.

There are a lot of people looking at their oncoming 60s and 70s, wondering why their children won’t talk to them. The boomers and GenXers really dropped the ball with trying so hard to hold power that they even burned their children for it. There are people that can step up to the plate, but it is hard to get said people to care anymore, due to being burned for the crime of competency.

You’re going to have a hard time getting these people to take the reins of anything, since they expect the knife in the back due to experience. The only solution is to offer them pure revenge at this point, or at the very least a guaranteed clearance of every backstabbing subordinate from the old generation.

 

[pwnest injun]

Trump "lost" in 2020 because of election fraud. It was a soft coup carried out through election fraud. The establishment GOP helped the democrats. Trump didn't lose legitimately.

Getting dicked in the ass by everyone in government, media and business simultaneously, while your allies stand by and watch, is a loss as legitimate as any other. The game isn't just what's on paper.

There's a very easy way to discern a good journalist from a bad journalist in Mexico
Is the journalist reporting narco happenings and/or politician corruption? Y/N
If yes: they are a good one and probably dead soon
If no: they are another Soros puppet

What I hate most is, it’s not their money that they are swinging around. These are pension funds, which are supposed to find nice boring investments to pay for promises made to old people, not wage ideological warfare to install techno-communism.

Blackrock didn’t earn the money they are using to distort the economy. I loathe this so much.

These fucking retards.

BlackRock Inc. is used to breaking records. The world’s largest asset manager was the first firm to break through $10 trillion of assets under management. But the bigger they are the harder they fall. And this year BlackRock chalked up another record: the largest amount of money lost by a single firm over a six-month period. In the first half of this year, it lost $1.7 trillion of clients’ money.

BlackRock management was quick to invoke the first-half market carnage when revealing the investment performance last week. “2022 ranks as the worst start in 50 years for both stocks and bonds,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink said on his earnings call.

While few firms are able to avoid what the market throws at them, some at least try to overcome it. BlackRock is increasingly giving up: At the end of June, only about a quarter of its assets were actively managed to beat a benchmark -- rather than track it seamlessly as passive strategies are designed to do. That’s down from a third when BlackRock acquired Barclays Global Investors in 2009 to
become the leading player in exchange-traded funds.

Within the equities business, the divergence is especially pronounced. Across the industry, assets have leached away from active strategies and into passive. In BlackRock’s case, around $21 billion has flowed out of active equity in the past decade, with $730 billion flowing into indexed equity. The firm’s passive equity holdings are now 10 times larger than its active business, although it does operate some active multi-asset and alternatives strategies that narrow the gap.
For portfolio managers on the fixed-income side, the evolution of the business portends an ominous future.

BlackRock’s roots lie in active fixed income. Fink founded the company in 1988 around strategies that “emphasize value creation through security selection…and are implemented by a team of highly qualified portfolio managers employing a strictly disciplined investment process,” according to the 1999 listing prospectus.

Although the firm also launched the first US-domiciled bond ETF in December 2002, it didn’t catch on the way stock ETFs did. In BlackRock’s case, $280 billion has continued to flow into active fixed income in the past 10 years. Fixed income is the biggest slug of what’s left of the firm’s active-management businesses — it had $954 billion of actively managed bond funds as of June 30, compared to $393 billion of actively managed stocks. Passive has grown, but it’s only 1.5 times bigger than active in fixed income – a much smaller gap than in equity.

All that may be about to change. The collapse in bond markets this year has shaken money out of active fixed-income funds. BlackRock saw clients pull more than $20 billion during the first half of the year in a rout that has seen over $200 billion leave the industry. Some of that is rolling into passive funds, in particular ETFs, where BlackRock is picking up more than its fair share. So far this year, it has gained $39 billion of new money in ETFs and $25 billion in other indexed strategies. The shift toward passive that started in equity is now accelerating in fixed income.

Until recently, bond ETFs were viewed with suspicion. Back in 2015, investor Carl Icahn, sitting alongside Fink on TV, called BlackRock “an extremely dangerous company.” His rationale was that the firm’s ETFs embed illiquid bonds in unsuitably liquid wrappers. “They are going to hit a black rock,” he said.

Yet during the panic of March 2020, when bond markets froze, ETFs performed efficiently. They moved to a discount to the value of the underlying bonds, but that didn’t lead to a fire sale of the securities. Rather than transmitting stress, bond ETFs absorbed it while providing investors with much-needed liquidity. This real-life stress test validated the structure, and now that bonds are sagging, money is flooding across.
On his earnings call, Fink explained the benefits. He observed that investors are using ETFs to quickly and efficiently gain exposure to thousands of global bonds and recalibrate their portfolios. “The challenges associated with high inflation to rising interest rates are attracting more first-time bond ETF users and prompting existing investors to find new ways to use ETFs in their portfolios,” he said.

For now, BlackRock’s fixed-income portfolio managers are mounting a solid defense. Unlike their colleagues in equities, their performance has been relatively strong. In the first six months of the year, the funds they oversaw declined by 10.6%, marginally better than the firm’s fixed-income ETFs. According to the company, about half of taxable fixed-income assets are performing above their benchmark on a one-year view, compared with about a third of traditionally managed equity assets.
But if fixed-income follows the path of equities, the divergence between passive flows and active flows will only grow. “This is the early days of a major transformation of how people invest in fixed income,” said Fink last week. “We expect the bond ETF industry will nearly triple and reach $5 trillion in AUM at the end of the decade.”

By then, BlackRock could be a lot larger but its fortunes will remain firmly tied to the markets.

Some investment sperging:

These ESG funds are seeing huge outflows as investors are bailing. This shit just isn’t making money.

You know what’s making me a LOT of money right now? Long energy stocks. When I listen to the earnings calls, the energy companies are all saying the same thing:

“We can pay of ALL our debt in three years at these prices and buy back all our stock. It would be foolish to invest in equipment and exploration in this political environment. As shareholders, expect special dividends.”

This is bad for society and having the lights on/ affordable gas, but great for my savings.

The ESG bros are trying to starve the capital out of hydrocarbons. But remember: if the mining/energy companies can’t get money from banks or hedgies, they will get it from consumers.

It kind of reminds me of the Russia situation. They are trying to “cancel” Russia while they still need her energy and agriculture outputs. Are the big boys really going to infinitely lose money in garbage green companies while the retail investors clean up on energy companies?

This war on reality has many fronts.

You're full of shit. I've raised four kids, I'm 67. And they have great lives and own homes and have successful careers and are making grand babies, the oldest of which just graduated from high school.

Please explain how I "burned" any of them. I raised them in reality, not being given asspats and trophies just for participating. They are successful and productive and enjoying life because they were raised to be so. And maybe as a slighter influence, they knew dear ol' dad would put his boot firmly up their respective asses if they didn't.

So in being nice and inclusive and all that DEI shit I have to deal with daily in my job, fuck you. How many children have you raised to adulthood?
