For 3rd year in a row, a new round of reports is indicating that businesses and asset managers of all types have continued to move away from the once popular Environmental & Social Governance (ESG) efforts that swept the nation a few short years ago. As pushback against "socially conscious investing" continues, the wave of success is spreading beyond just state and other government level policymakers in 2024 – following the Texas Legislature's leadership.

The Donald Trump-JD Vance Campaign quickly turned Kamala Harris’s disappointing CNN Interview Thursday Evening into a hard-hitting New Ad that highlights the nation's Inflation Crisis, a Border Crisis. and increasing levels of violence following Democrat's "Defunding of Police" efforts. And as she attempts to win over Independent & Undecided Voters, many analysts are wondering why Harris repeatedly mentioned the phrase, "My values have not changed." Said Mr. Trump, "On that, I agree... Her answer(s) rambled incoherently, and her values haven’t changed." 

Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and the Sock-Puppet Media keep telling us Americans: "Don't Worry, Be Happy." But a recent Pew Poll found that only 22% of Americans believe "the country is headed in the right direction." Another poll revealed that over 50% think "the U.S. is in recession." So why are Americans so dour? The major reason – according to one of those surveys – is, "higher costs and difficulty making ends meet." This isn't a figment of American's imaginations. So, just who is living in la la land... and who isn't?

Was the process by which Kamala Harris became the Democrat Party’s presidential nominee fair – or unfair? And after questions about how she ascended to the nomination, is Kamala Harris the best possible Presidential Candidate for the Democrat Party this year? Probably most concerning for Democrats, however – a 52% majority of 1,142 "Likely U.S. Voters" say they "disagree" Kamala Harris is the best candidate the Democrat Party could have picked this year.

With 65% of Americans saying they believe the country is 'Headed in the Wrong Direction," what new theme have Kamala Harris and her fellow Democrats adopted for their Presidential Campaign? ​​​​​​​ "Joy." Note to Kamala & Co.: If your opponent's claiming your policies are "Socialist" or “Communist,” maybe its not the best idea to lay out an Economic Agenda that can be accurately labeled as something that is "Socialist" and “Communist” – Federal Price Controls.

​​​​​​​"Low-interest loans will be made available to qualifying Texans so they can restore their Homes & Businesses from the April 26-June 5 severe storms or floods. This SBA Disaster Declaration helps Texans access the crucial financial assistance they need to continue to recover," said Gov. Greg Abbott, announcing the SBA's Home Disaster Loan, Business Physical Disaster Loan, and Economic Injury Disaster Loan efforts for homeowners, renters, and businesses in affected communities.

Since the Democrat's Palace Coup swapped Kamala Harris for Joe Biden, we’ve seen nothing but wall-to-wall, unadulterated fawning over her by the national media. And meantime, America's quietly been told she's now reversed herself on a whole slate of previous – and voter alienating positions. I say we've "been told" this because Harris hasn't announced any of it publicly, or even been asked to explain the dramatic reversals. Instead, we're just told it's the case – because “campaign officials” said so.

Nancy Pelosi said it best earlier today: “To characterize Tim Walz as ‘left’ is so unreal – he’s right down the middle. He’s a heartland-of-America Democrat.” And, if anyone knows the "Heartland of America," it’s a San Francisco Liberal like Nancy Pelosi. Life-altering inflation, grocery & gas price increases of 20+%, rampant high crime, unsafe streets where innocent mothers are violently murdered, open borders with uncontrolled illegal immigration – Kamala Harris & Tim Walz will make Joe Biden look conservative.

For Kamala Harris, it’s quickly become abundantly clear that "Weird" is her new & improved version of Hillary Clinton's infamous "Basket of Deplorables." Democrats and their 2016 Media Partners openly agreed with Hillary's assessment of Donald Trump and his supporters – until it dawned on some of their party's geniuses that insulting the customer is a Losing Strategy. How ironic is it that Kamala and others in the party's leadership have taken to calling her Republican opponents “weird” in the past few weeks?

For years now, our nation's top Democrat "leaders" & best left-wing reporters have sworn that "Joe Biden's energy, sharpness and drive would outpace those half his age." And wouldn't you know it, now those same Democrats and journalists have suddenly confessed that Old Joe is not, and never was what their lies told us – but that we should believe their praises of the Democrat Party's newest, most accomplished, eloquent and brilliantly articulate generational leader... Kamala Harris?

Eight days after announcing he'd end his presidential bid, Joe Biden went to Austin, Texas today to launch a Democrat Campaign against the Supreme Court – and made it clear he wants to remain in the political limelight while his party's leaders (who forced him to withdraw,) attempt to "pass the torch" to Kamala Harris. She should be none too pleased with his insistence of grabbing the spotlight away from her, but in fact has pledged to campaign on the most dangerous policy proposal by an American president since World War II.

“She covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline,” says the narrator in a 30-second TV spot that began airing Sunday in Arizona, Georgia & Pennsylvania. “But Kamala knew Joe couldn’t do the job – so she did it. Look what she got done,” the narrator adds, crediting Joe Biden's vice president for runaway inflation, high homeownership costs, and the record number of illegal-immigrant crossings that occurred on her watch. Another video released Tuesday points to her “dangerously liberal” climate & public safety policies.

After Hurricane Beryl knocked out power in Houston and its surrounding suburbs – causing widespread disruption to the nation's 4th largest city – a number of Texas Congressmen are demanding answers from the Biden White House after a funding denial from the U.S. Dept. of Energy's Secretary has become public. When asked whether he thought the denial was politically motivated, “No doubt about it. Texas is the #1 Energy State – and so Biden, they don’t like that,” said Houston-area Cong. Randy Weber.

It was a coup to hand the Democrat Nomination to Kamala Harris even though not one American voted for her in the Democrat Primary. Harris did absolutely nothing to earn her party’s nomination – yet it’s being handed to her on a Silver Platter. So much for Democrat's “accepting the election results,” and defending "our democracy” claims. There was one person who knew more about Joe Biden’s condition than almost anyone else other than wife Jill: Vice President Kamala Harris.

​​​​​​​What a small handful of Democrat Elites are doing is a last-minute bait-&-switch to evade responsibility for an administration – and its figurehead – which they elected and supported for over three and a half years. They're trying to hang on to power by desperate trickery that insults every American's intelligence, deprives them of their right to hold Joe Biden's White House and the Democrat Party to account at the Ballot Box – but "Democracy" means the people decide.

While some 70% of Americans say they have a plan to reach their financial goals in 2024, adjusting one's strategies to ensure your personal or family investments remain stable and fiscally sound is always advisable. Understanding how today's rapidly changing economy and technological advancements affect your investments play an important role. While positioning your portfolio for the structural transformations we're experiencing may seem like a tall order, here are three major themes to consider.

Earlier this year, Texas Public Utility Commission Chair Thomas Gleeson presided over a meeting focused on the ongoing efforts to improve the reliability of Texas’ electric grid. In the meeting, Gleeson said that while significant improvements have been made on reliability, more work was still necessary to ensure the long-term reliability of Texas’ power grid. “This doesn’t mean we’re done improving – we're continuously looking for ways to meet the needs of our fast-growing state,” Gleeson said.

Joe Biden's sagging support among the nation's Black Voters has set off alarm bells within the Democrat Party – and is raising hopes Donald Trump could score historic gains with one of "the backbones" of the Democrat Party's coalition. Have Black Americans felt “bullied” by Democrats while under the strain of "Bidenomics"? Are they having an “awakening” brought on by the masses of Hispanics Biden's allowing to stream across the U.S. Southern Border? Black Republicans are increasing in droves.

Don’t expect to see the same Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention this week that took the stage and was nearly shot to death in Butler, PA., last Saturday. Don’t expect to see the man who’s fought 2 Impeachments, 1 Conviction, the entire media, the Deep State, Big Tech, and societal machines that've been aligned against him for 8+ years now. Expect something different, something more. Expect a more selfless warrior who has those profound, deep-setting scars of a near-death experience.

"This agreement will encourage investment, trade, and collaboration in critical (economic) areas such as medicine, life sciences, biotechnology, energy, innovation, and so much more. As Texas and Japan drive the future of innovation, this trade agreement will provide our two peoples with the economic freedom and opportunity to thrive for generations to come. Texas and Japan are economic powerhouses set to dominate the technologically advanced future,” said Gov. Abbott.
