“Many people have come to realize that there’s something very strange and unnatural about big corporations all walking lockstep to push the “latest thing.” Real life just doesn’t work that way. There must be some kind of leverage used to create this unnatural situation.” – Ron Paul

Top FBI agent resigns amid claims he shielded Hunter Biden from probe: report

Posted on August 30, 2022 | Comments Off

Thibault, a 25-year-veteran, had already been on leave for a month after the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), started raising concerns about whistleblower claims that the FBI had obstructed its own investigations into the first son.

A top FBI agent at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings.

Timothy Thibault, an FBI assistant special agent in charge, was allegedly forced out after he was accused of political bias in his handling of probes involving President Biden’s son, sources told the Washington Times on Monday.

Lockdown was an extreme and unprecedented response to an ancient problem, the challenge of epidemic disease. It was also something else. It marked one of the gravest governmental failures of modern times. In a remarkably candid interview with The Spectator, Rishi Sunak has blown the gaff on the sheer superficiality of the decision-making process of which he was himself part. The fundamental rule of good government is not to make radical decisions without understanding the likely consequences. It seems obvious. Yet it is at that most basic level that the Johnson government failed. The tragedy is that this is only now being acknowledged.

Nasdaq’s diversity rule for corporate boards faces legal challenge

Posted on August 30, 2022 | Comments Off

The National Center for Public Policy Research challenged the rule. The conservative think tank said the Nasdaq plan runs afoul of the Constitution by promoting discrimination and effectively forcing corporations to “speak” in violation of the First Amendment by disclosing personal details of board members.

Affirmative action opponents are not targeting just colleges in the battle against racial and gender preferences in law. Companies are emerging as another front in the battle.

A federal appeals court heard a challenge Monday to the tech-heavy Nasdaq stock exchange’s mandate that its largest listed companies must meet diversity standards on their corporate boards.

The challenge is advancing as the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments this fall over the role of race in admissions decisions for Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. It is one of the most anticipated cases of the upcoming term.

The “Board Diversity Proposal” requires Nasdaq-listed corporations to maintain and disclose a certain number of minority members — or else be delisted. Among the companies on the exchange are Apple, Meta and Tesla.
