Breitbart: Josh Hawley: Energy Secretary Granholm Must Answer Why She Lied About Holding Stocks
Senator Josh Hawley has called for Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to appear before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to explain why she falsely claimed she did not hold stocks despite saying she and her husband owned individual stocks in companies her department oversees. Hawley has written to the committee’s chairman, Senator Joe Manchin, to request an oversight hearing be held into Granholm’s testimony, writing that her case is “disturbing.” He highlighted the systemic problems with energy department ethics compliance and called for a discussion on how senior officials can comply with federal ethics laws. In 2021, Granholm reportedly violated the STOCK Act by failing to properly report nine stock trades.

The New American: Starbucks Pays Big for Anti-white Discrimination. But Has Big Business Learned Its Lesson? - The New American
Starbucks has been ordered to pay $25.6 million in damages to a white former employee who was fired because of her race. The ex-regional manager was blamed after two black men were arrested for loitering at a Philadelphia Starbucks and refusing to leave when asked. However, despite several similar court rulings, woke attitudes and anti-white discrimination are still prevalent in corporate America, as well as society in general. Companies continue to create policies that benefit people of color at the expense of white employees and give preference to anti-white propaganda. The cultural wind is still against white people, and pseudo-elites continue to nurture an inherently anti-white spirit of the age. This won't change until the spirit of the age changes, but there are undercurrents of white identity politics at the polls, and there is a possibility of a rise in white nationalism.

Forbes: Will NAIC Insurance Regulators In U.S. Import Harmful European Rules?
Powerful policymakers overseeing the US insurance industry are on the verge of pushing through a disastrous rule for US insurers strikingly similar to European regulations that have played a significant role in Europe's economic malaise. The proposal could very soon hike the capital charges for equities held by US insurers to a level comparable with the Solvency II directive. The US insurance market is primarily regulated by states, and any rule the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) comes up with will likely have a substantial impact on the entire US insurance market. An insurance industry insider in the US confirms that, as currently proposed, the rule's "increased charge could apply to residual interests in private equity funds, real estate joint ventures, and other investments that have been widely held for decades by the most stable of American insurance companies."
