"Sustainability" investments became popular a few years back.
So-called experts said companies shouldn't just focus on profit. They should put more effort into being "nice."
Funds pushing ESG (environmental, social and governance) were all the rage.
Giant investment firms like BlackRock pressured companies to hire more women and minorities. CEO Larry Fink announced, "All investments are going to be looked through sustainability."
But "sustainability" is a mostly meaningless word.
Parnassus claimed it helped meet UN sustainability goals of "nutrition" and "sanitation" by investing in U.S. Foods and Clorox.
Starbucks phased out plastic straws while adding lids that used more plastic.
BP rebranded itself as "Beyond Petroleum." Wisely, it mostly invested in petroleum.

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld apparently had enough of co-host Jessica Tarlov’s shenanigans about the second Trump presidency and the slew of executive orders that have virtually undone everything Joe Biden did over the past four years. In 36 hours, an entire presidency was revoked. Tarlov asked Gutfeld about birthright citizenship, which led to Gutfeld unleashing an epic tirade against liberal America being incapable of understanding this moment.
First, on the immigration questions, Gutfeld aptly noted that you don’t need to like everything in a restaurant to like the establishment. That’s the typical authoritarian tendency of the Left—you must like or comply with everything they say, including candidates.

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) As I am fond of reminding my brilliant readers, I have been a Republican activist for over 40 years now. Yes, it's a bit of a flex — my ego does need to be fed — but I mostly bring it up to provide context for anything I write or say about either of the two major political parties.
The Democrats of 2025 are not the same kinds of people I've known throughout my activism career. They began to take a turn for the worse in late 2008 and really hit the gas on the Awfulmobile in late 2016. A casual observer

President Biden’s pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci may protect the former National Institutes of Health official from immediate criminal prosecution, but some critics say he is not completely out of legal jeopardy and that public sentiment might still condemn the man who became known during the COVID-19 pandemic as “Mr. Science.”
In the days before Biden offered the pardon to Fauci, along with other critics of Donald Trump, some experts who have followed Fauci’s career and handling of the pandemic, as well as members of the Trump transition team, reiterated their assertion that Fauci perjured himself on several occasions during the pandemic

How stupid are Democrats? Better yet, how stupid do they think you are?
As I type this, various left-wing politicians and their press allies are trying to create a narrative that Elon Musk gave a "fascist salute" while speaking at President Donald Trump's victory rally on Monday. Did that happen? Of course, it didn't happen, but that didn't stop everyone from PBS News journalists or Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) from spreading the lie. (X) So what's the real story? Musk, who has publicly spoken about having autism, was awkwardly gesturing toward the crowd while saying, "My heart goes out to you." He wasn't giving a "nazi salute."

One of Donald Trump’s first acts as president was to commute the sentences of or pardon nearly every single Jan. 6 prisoner, setting them all free. But multiple prisons and halfway houses have resisted complying, with the D.C. gulag holding multiple prisoners hostage and refusing to release them.
Trump’s historic order commuted the sentences of about a dozen individuals and pardoned “all individuals convicted of offenses related to event that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” It ordered that those “currently held in prison are released immediately.” But the thugs who have so abused and trampled the rights of the J6ers

With less than 20 minutes before his term in office expired, the head of the Biden crime family preemptively pardoned his three siblings: James Biden, Francis Biden, and Valerie Biden Owens. He also pardoned his in-laws, John Owens and Sara Jones Biden. This was in addition to the pardon that the family boss had previously conferred on his son, Hunter Biden. I’m referring, of course, to “President Biden.”
“Biden” also preemptively pardoned General Milley, Dr. Fauci, and the members of Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 House Committee.
Among the January 6 Committee members pardoned by “Biden” is Rep. Jamie Raskin. As House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer cruelly recalled, “Raskin once claimed

As you likely heard already, on Monday, Trump withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing the organization’s “mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, and other global health crises, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.”
Trump also cited the fact that the United States contributes a disproportionate amount of money to the WHO: “In addition, the WHO continues to demand unfairly onerous payments from the United States, far out of proportion with other countries’ assessed payments. China, with a population of 1.4 billion, has 300

In two earlier pieces for Townhall (here and here), I’ve sounded warnings for the Biden administration: Unless something changes, President Biden will be ranked as among America’s worst chief executives. And this is not only according to the Constitution’s job description, a measure conservatives might use to assess presidents. It also is true according to indicators left-of-center academics employ to raise the rankings of presidents whose policies they like and suppress the rankings of presidents they don’t like.
Like nearly all deficient presidents, Biden served only one term. He is now mercifully gone. But his actions during his final days will cement his low rating.

I for one have not yet grown tired of all the winning. And I suspect our readers have a second wind for more, too. Especially when this win means we all get to stay in the game rather than have the federal government shut us down.
The win this time came at the Department of Homeland Security, which is days away from getting newly appointed Secretary Kristi Noem installed. Word has reached DHS that the new sheriff is in town anyway, and this one plans to put an end to government censorship via politicized "fact checks." The acting DHS head has put an end

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order requiring most federal employees to return to work in person full time, a move that is likely to spark backlash and legal challenges from unions.
WHAT DOES TRUMP'S ORDER DO?
Trump directed the heads of all federal agencies to "take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements" and require employees to report to "their respective duty stations" full time. The two-sentence order says the directive "shall be implemented consistent with applicable law."
CAN TRUMP PROHIBIT FEDERAL EMPLOYEES FROM WORKING REMOTELY?
It depends. The president has broad authority over the federal workforce, including the power to tell agencies to stop allowing remote work for employees

All of Joe Biden's preemptive pardons for the worst political malefactors in recent years are an insult to the rule of law, but one in particular sticks in my craw: Mark Milley.
Why?
I expect bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci to be ass-covering snakes with a lust for power and disdain for accountability, and I am confident that he will burn in hell and be remembered as the mass murderer that he is.
I expect politicians like Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and the sc*mbags of the January 6th Committee to be liars who would sacrifice their souls for an extra minute on TV and an additional campaign dollar.
