Wall Street bankers are plotting a new national stock exchange in Texas - promising lighter regulation than in New York. Backed by BlackRock and Citadel Securities, the Texas Stock Exchange in Dallas would go up against the Nasdaq and the NYSE and bid to attract global companies. It has raised about $120 million and plans to start trading next year provided it gets the OK from the Securities and Exchange Commission The TXSE, as it is known, wants to tap into companies worried at the increasing rules and compliance costs at the two New York exchanges.

I don't know if this actually part of the "Texit" plan, but having your own stock market seems like a necessary component if Texas were to become independent....

Letting BlackRock get involved is a serious, serious, deadly error. BlackRock is a far left, globalist, rotten company. They WILL sabotage this at some point, guaranteed.

Wishing the Best for Texas! Agree that Blackrock is crooked..... perhaps the TX people can use Blackrock's money to get their exchange going, then once they're up and running, they can make Blackrock toe the line...... I know, wishful thinking. We'll just have to wait and see how it turns out. On the other hand, anything that distributes some of Noo Yawk's ill-gotten gains to the rest of the USA is a good thing.

This is HUGE, regardless of whose money starts it rolling. NY has had a monopoly on stock exchange development and the left has exploited it. It's also slowly stifling it, as the left always does with over-regulation and fees. Talk about killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Go, Texas, go! (And nice move, NY, going after Trump, to let investors know that any of them could be next...)

Read no further than the second paragraph. How can it be "anti-woke" if it's promoted by the inventors of "ESG," the infamous Black Rock (Larry Fink)? What I don't see is whether Black Rock is putting their own money into it, or if they expect the State of Texas, hence taxpayers, and conservatives to fund it? I'm not yet buying it.

Larry Fink the CEO (former?) CEO of Blackrock is the king of woke, DEI, and ESG. It's also been behind the suppression of the stock prices of oil and gas companies, that are doing far better than other companies, but whose stock prices are terrible. I detect a trap.

Despite President Joe Biden touting his economic “accomplishments,” a new report reveals that there are more foreign born workers in the United States than American workers. New Bureau of Labor Statistics data released this week found that there are 637,000 non-American citizen workers in the country. On the contrary, nearly 300,000 native-born Americans lost their jobs. Economist E.J. Antoni told The Federalist that the government has added a significant amount of jobs that are primarily only held by foreign born workers, leaving Americans struggling to look for jobs.

I was about ten years old when I first learned about Joan of Arc, the 14-year-old peasant girl who, against all odds, led the army of France against the British in the Hundred Years War. I had checked out from our school library a little cloth-bound book (A Candle in the Sky) that told her story, and I must have read it a dozen times, she so fascinated me. Her audacity, her courage, her unwavering faith was both inspiring and horrifying to my young mind. I am now aged well beyond that point, and she still haunts me. On May 30th of 1431 Joan of Arc was burned at the stake.

"Your captives will not be released unless our prisoners are freed," the video added.Israel rescued four hostages held by Hamas in a hostage-freeing operation in central Gaza's al-Nuseirat on Saturday which killed 274 Palestinians.

Old Joe was at it again this weekend. The failing Democrat told reporters he has known Vladimir Putin for 40 years. Putin was a KGB agent 40 years ago in 1984 and did not have a public presence. Putin is 71-years-old. He would have been 31 when Joe says they met each other. It didn’t happen. The New York Post reported: President Biden claimed Thursday that he has “known” Vladimir Putin “for over 40 years” — despite Russia’s president having served as an undercover KGB intelligence officer through the entire 1980s.

Biden allegedly could not remember signing that order, and suggested Johnson was mistaken.

NATO is mapping out “land corridors” to enable US troops and other allied forces to reach the front lines quicker in the event of a broader European ground war with Russia. The move follows warnings from NATO leaders earlier this year urging Western governments to prepare themselves for a full-blown war with Russia sometime in the next 20 years. The newly established troop expressways would see American soldiers landing at one of five designated ports. They would then be deployed along pre-established routes depending on how a potential attack by Moscow would play out, NATO officials told The Telegraph.

All of this goes away under a Donald Trump administration. Why? Because he doesn’t want to hear anything negative being said about him.

In a daring feat masterfully executed, the Israeli Defense Force rescued four of the hostages in Gaza. Most touching of all was the rescue of Noa Argamani, whose mother is dying of brain cancer, who had prayed she’d be reunited with her daughter before she died. The hostages had been held by private citizens in two separate apartments 200 feet apart within the central market of Nuseirat in Gaza and the rescuers had to stage a difficult simultaneous operation to free them. They operated under heavy fire from Hamas and local citizens.
