You’ve been reading about my concerns with ESG investing for a while now. Mutual Funds and ETFs that virtue signal about this stuff are taking their eye off the ball. If you’re in some of these fee gathering mutual funds/ETFs maybe it’s time to look for greener pastures. Andy Kessler writes in the WSJ: Larry […]

About Realism and Policy
I like this write up about Michael F. Duggan and his website, Realism and Policy. Its purpose is to provide a modest outlet to promulgate a perspective of moderate realism: Michael F. Duggan holds a doctorate from Georgetown University with a major in American History, a minor in Modern Europe, and a collateral concentration in Western […]
America’s Real Foreign Policy Expert
Michael F. Duggan of Realism and Policy tells us how USAF Lt. General Brent Scowcroft, with his moderate realism in foreign affairs, was an inspiration for creating the Realism and Policy blog. He writes (abridged): Brent Scowcroft died at 95. You didn’t have to be a Republican to appreciate his form of moderate realism in […]
Investors Hit with Tax Bills, Vanguard to Pay $6 Million
I’m not a big fan of target date funds especially in non-retirement accounts where the allocation is adjusted automatically based on your years to retirement. The stock side tends to hug the S&P 500 and the bonds have longer maturities than I’m comfortable with. In addition, the timing of the selling may not be in […]
Basilcello: an Italian Summer Escape
From Your Own Backyard: Is there is a plant/culinary herb that, hands down, evokes the feeling of summer? Well, yes, definitely Basil, a member of the Mint family. In the WSJ, Sarah Karnasiewicz writes of her “favorite boozy usage for a backyard bounty” It, she admits, is “stolen straight from the Italians: a bottle of […]
Boris Johnson a World Economic Forum Marionette?
Jordan Schachtel on LewRockwell.com writes about how Boris Johnson, once promising nationalist leader, ends his tenure as WEF-approved, ESG-compliant marionette. He writes (abridged): I can’t think of a single world leader who has done more damage to humanity, since 2019, than Boris Johnson. And yet, his reign of terror over a once great empire was not […]
Panic at CNN as Ratings Tank
Cortney Weil of Blaze Media tells us that the numbers are indeed cause for concern at CNN. She writes (abridged): The major changes CNN has made in leadership, philosophy, and structure have not yet borne fruit in the ratings, and now CNN employees are reportedly beginning to panic. A “well-placed” source at the network told […]
Mass Shootings in America: Who’s to Blame?
Paul Craig Roberts on LewRockwell.com writes about the real culprit in gun violence. He writes (abridged): The first American mass shooting was the Clock Tower shooting at the University of Texas in 1966 by an ex-Marine suffering from a brain tumor which apparently unbalanced him. Since that time mass shootings have increased in occurrence. Instead of investigating […]
More Entitled Shenanigans from Mr. French Laundry
Gavin Newsom, governor of California, is on vacation in Montana. Reportedly, Gavin’s office had been loath to disclose the location until now. Montana, one of 22 states to which CA bans state-funded travel due to anti-LGBTQ+ policies, is also likely to institute an abortion ban.
Taking Ruinous Decarbonization Policies Nationwide
Gavin Newsom has started his presidential campaign, with the warning, despite his own record of collapsed leadership, that he will “take the fight” to Republicans, reports Kenneth Khachigian in the WSJ: Days ago, 6 miles from the home where I was raised in Tulare County, the Highway Patrol arrested two suspected drug traffickers with 150,000 […]
