Silicon Valley Bank Pledged Nearly $74 Million To Black Lives Matter Causes

Published

Silicon Valley Bank might have been able to make good on $74 million promised to customers had it not pledged the money to leftist causes.

According to a new database by the conservative Claremont Institute, the collapsed bank donated or pledged to donate nearly $74 million to groups related to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Will Hild, the executive director of Consumers’ Research, told The Federalist that SVB’s failure on the heels of its left-wing activism “is yet another indication that SVB was focused on woke virtue signaling instead of protecting their customers’ deposits.”

“Time after time we see the same pattern: companies that are the most concerned with ESG scores and woke politics do the worst jobs serving their customers,” Hild explained. “The rest of corporate America should learn from SVB’s failure now, before they are the next company to make headlines for comically poor management.”

Public reports published on the company’s website offer a window into the bank’s leftist corporate apparatus that prioritized Wall Street’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards over its fiduciary duty to shareholders.

Two months after racially charged riots led to the most destructive outbreak of American political upheaval in more than a century, the bank joined the chorus of corporate firms touting their commitment to so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

“Innovation is global and is touching every aspect of our lives, which is creating even more need for inclusiveness of ideas and approaches,” read a report from August 2020. “We are

Elon Musk Predicts Kamala Harris Will ‘Shut Down’ X If Elected President

Published

on

X owner Elon Musk predicted on Monday that Kamala Harris will weaponize the Justice Department to shut down the free speech platform if elected president this week. The moment came during the SpaceX founder’s appearance on comedian Joe Rogan’s podcast.

During the interview, Musk referenced the U.K.-based “disinformation” group known as the Center for Countering Digitial Hate (CCDH) and its attempts to, as the billionaire described, “push[] … advertisers to boycott [X].” As my colleague Tristan Justice previously reported, CCDH is “integral to the left’s dystopian censorship regime” and colluded with NBC News in 2020 “to pressure Google into demonetizing The Federalist and Zero Hedge.”

Musk said that “some of the boycott[s]” against X are “starting to lift,” and predicted that “most” of them will go away if Donald Trump is elected president. He further noted that the boycotts “will get stronger” if Harris wins and that her administration would “shut down [X].”

“There’s no way that the Kamala puppet regime would allow X to exist,” Musk said.

When pressed by Rogan on how he thinks a Harris administration could accomplish such a feat, the Tesla CEO suggested they could “sic the DOJ” on X by citing so-called “misinformation.”

“They’ve had this whole thing about like hate speech, misinformation, whatever, except that they’re the ones pushing the misinformation,” Musk said. “But that doesn’t stop them from filing massive lawsuits and using the DOJ.”

As an example, Musk cited how the DOJ is currently suing SpaceX “for not hiring asylum

The Best Thing For America Would Be A Donald Trump Blowout

Published

on

If Democrats had their way, Donald Trump wouldn’t be anywhere near the presidency again. So wrote MSNBC’s Hayes Brown on the eve of the 2024 election’s final day. But Trump is near the presidency — perhaps by decisive margins — and Democrats are apoplectic.

The “biggest contributor to the unease that millions of Americans have felt as Election Day approaches,” Brown wrote, is “that there is any tension about the outcome at all. The 2024 election should not be anywhere near as close as it appears, not with Trump’s name on the ballot for the third straight election.”

Brown is right that the election shouldn’t be close, but he’s wrong about why.

The best thing for the country would not be a big or small victory for Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and their phony “unity” schtick. It wouldn’t even be a razor-thin Trump-Vance win. The best outcome for the health of our nation — and democracy — would be a landslide victory for Donald Trump.

Just Deserts

First, and most importantly, America needs a decisive victory to communicate to Democrat leaders, media propagandists, bureaucratic tyrants, violent rioters, Big Tech censors, race hustlers, and rogue three-letter agencies that their underhanded and often illegal actions will not be rewarded with electoral victory.

No, Democrats don’t deserve to win after waging unprecedented lawfare against their political opponents, from the former president to peaceful pro-life protesters. They don’t deserve to win after turning federal agencies into a Democrat get-out-the-vote hydra. Or after lying about the integrity of

Joe Rogan Endorses Trump After Discussing ‘Most Compelling Case For Trump You’ll Hear’ With Elon Musk

Published

on

Popular podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan endorsed former President Donald Trump on the night before the election after a conversation with business magnate Elon Musk.

“If it wasn’t for him we’d be f-cked,” Rogan said of Musk in a post on X. “He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.”

“For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump,” Rogan added.

The endorsement comes after Rogan had both Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, on his show for lengthy interviews. He apparently tried to get Vice President Kamala Harris on the show as well, but indicated that her campaign had tried to preemptively neuter the interview by limiting the time and scope.

“I view this election as a turning point, like a fork in the road of destiny that is incredibly important,” Musk said. “You know, I’ve not been politically active until this election. And the reason I’ve been politically active this election is because I think if we don’t, if we don’t elect Trump, I think we will lose, we will lose democracy in this country.”

“What I’m saying is like, this election is the last chance to preserve democracy in America. Mark my words,” he added. “Everything they accuse Trump of, they are guilty of. And if Trump doesn’t win, this will be the last real election in America.”

Rogan and Musk marveled at the many hoaxes levied
