America’s corporate governance system is broken, and it’s killing public companies. Look no further than Cracker Barrel: Decades of brutal mismanagement have seen one incompetent CEO after another walk away with a massive paycheck while customers and actual shareholders take a beating.
Why does this keep happening? Because proxy advisory firms like ISS are corrupt. They blindly rubber-stamp failing boards year after year, protecting the corporate elite while burning shareholder value to the ground.
The root of the rot is index funds. There's no question that indexing one's money is a smart financial move for most people. But just because you passively index your investments doesn't mean your corporate votes should be handed over to the managers of your fund so they can play politics. Right now, passive funds hold massive, unchecked voting blocks while having zero skin in the game themselves.
It is time for a simple rewrite of the rules: We need to index the votes of index fund investors.
Passive index funds should be forced to automatically split their votes to proportionately mirror those of retail and active institutional shareholders — the people actually doing the research, risking their capital, and fighting for performance in the companies they hold shares in. No more rubber-stamping. A change like this will immediately strip corrupt gatekeepers like ISS of their toxic influence.
True accountability happens when lazy, overpaid boards actually answer to the stakeholders they represent, rather than screwing them over.
Actual, logic-driven governance when your money is passive happens when your vote passively follows the voting decisions of the actual market.
We need to stop letting passive capital protect active incompetence. By stripping index funds of their arbitrary voting power and empowering engaged investors, we will finally torch corporate cronyism and usher American capital markets into a golden age of capitalism.
Understand that they could have had this hijab niqab fashion show anywhere, but they chose to have it at the Church of England. The people behind this seek to conquer, not to assimilate. And you know what? I don’t blame them. I blame the weak people who’ve allowed it to happen.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after White female nurses were BEATEN IN THE HEAD and THROWN TO THE FLOOR...
...after a Black man who had ALREADY been found INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL for previous assaults... TWICE rampaged through a hospital!!!!!
Prosecutors quietly DROPPED the charges until a local TV station caught them and the re-filed them.
Her name is Yanira Eguileor.
On May 30th, she heard a woman scream in her emergency room.
She turned and saw a man chasing a female staffer toward the nurse's station, winding up to hit her.
Yanira didn't run away. She ran AT him.
Her words: "He was about to strike her, and I said, 'No! Don't hit her.'"
So he turned on her instead and beat her.
"He started punching me in the back of my head. He punched me a total of three times."
...then he threw her to the floor
Court records show Wenyou Rubin already had an open felony case from October 2024.
For AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON A POLICE OFFICER.
And he had already been found INCOMPETENT.
A man too mentally ill to stand trial, with a pending felony for attacking a cop, was allowed to wander an emergency room, in her attorney's words, "virtually free, almost unescorted."
AND IT GETS WORSE
Weeks after the attack, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office DROPPED the charges against him.
Their reason? They couldn't get in contact with the victims.
Yes, they said they "couldn't find" the nurses who are hospital employees.. at the hospital, where the attack happened... ON CAMERA!!!!
The charges only came back because a local TV station ran the story and embarrassed them into it.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
Every three years in medieval England, the king's men went from cottage to cottage cutting the toes off the peasants' dogs.
It was called lawing. The dog's forefoot went on a block of wood, a chisel was set across three claws, and they came off with one blow of a mallet. The Charter of the Forest, 1217, records the correct method: three claws of the forefoot, but not the ball.
A dog with three toes missing cannot run down a deer. That was the entire purpose. A third of England was royal forest, every animal in it belonged to the king, and a poor man's dog was the one piece of hunting equipment he could not be stopped from owning. So they left him the dog and took its feet.
If the inspectors found yours intact, the fine was three shillings, about a month's wages. Before 1217 they simply took your ox.
No law ever told that man he could not eat meat. The law took his bow, his dog's toes and his right to the wood, then left him entirely free to work out the rest for himself. He worked it out. He ate oats and beans, and he raised children who ate oats and beans.
That is how it is always done. Meat is never banned for the poor. It just becomes, by one sensible regulation after another, impossible to get.
Count the sensible regulations being drafted for your dinner this year.
Apparently Lockheed hired a Chinese front company to handle its logistics of the most advanced and classified airplane modules to Australia that ended up rerouted to China instead!
JUST IN: Trump announces he is forming an AI Force, modeled after Space Force, & will soon appoint an AI czar — tells “only high IQ individuals” to apply.
Why was the condo that John McAfee lived in destroyed at the same time that he supposedly committed suicide?
And why was an Israeli team flown over to clear the debris?
Ukraine is the only country in the world where soldiers are sent to the front lines with their hands handcuffed.Look at the pride on their faces—how eager they are to die fighting !
>be married

So the official story is a plane full of American military technology was being transported by an “intermediary” for Lockheed Martin from Australia to the US when it was “diverted” to HONG KONG where it was then unloaded and confiscated by (presumably) the Chinese government.
Bullshit. Total bullshit. Have you looked the flight paths from Australia to the US lately? Hong Kong is not a diversion option.
But you know what flight path has Hong Kong positioned as a route stop? Australia to Tel Aviv.
And considering they aren’t disclosing the name of this intermediary company, how much you want to bet our greatest ally is smack dab in the middle of this treachery.
