• How did Maisy Biden get into UPenn?

    Joe made the call.

    and now Joe Trumpets, “Today, for too many schools, the only people who benefit from the system are the wealthy and the well-connected. The odds have been stacked against working people for much too long.”

    Give Maisy the boot....and I'll believe you.

    Maisy?

    That sounds like a southern slave owning plantation white supremacist name.

    It's a privilege of the wealthy and powerful.
    Admissions should be based on merit and potential.

    "James A. Nolan, the Penn admissions officer ... interviewed Trump and
    ushered his application through the vetting process, which he says he
    did at the behest of Trump’s older brother, Fred Trump Jr. Nolan grew up
    in Queens and had been friends with Fred since high school in the
    mid-1950s. During an interview at his apartment on Washington Square,
    Nolan told me he spent a lot of time in those days at the Trump
    McMansion in Jamaica Estates, which he described as “very big, with lots
    of bedrooms” and blackface lawn jockeys lining the approach. Both
    friends planned to enroll at Penn, but only Nolan got accepted. Ten
    years later, Nolan was working in Penn’s admissions ­department — he
    would later become director of undergraduate admissions — when Fred
    called in a favor."

    It could be 100% liberal professors without changing the fact that the

    And that elite is conservative.

    "[Trump's] inner circle was every bit as much a part of the American
    elite as its opponents—Steven Mnuchin (Yale ’85), Ben Carson (Yale ’73), Wilbur Ross (Yale ’59), Stephen Schwarzman (Yale ’69), Jared Kushner (Harvard ’03), Steve Bannon (Harvard ’85), Mike Pompeo (Harvard Law
    ’94), and, of course, Trump himself (University of Pennsylvania, ’68). Trump’s inaugural Cabinet had more Harvard alumni than Obama’s. In the aftermath of January 6, many of the strongest supporters of the
    stolen-election theory have been Ivy League graduates. Ted Cruz
    (Princeton ’92) was one of the first to challenge the election’s certification, and Kayleigh McEnany (Harvard Law ’16) actively spread
    fraud claims as the president’s press secretary.

    If you can't recognize the domination of progressives at almost all (
    Dartmouth and Princeton excluded) of the elite Ivy League Universities,
    then you are a COMPLETE MORON. Progressive elite Ivy league grads are
    running a wide swath of corporate America.

    A wide swath of corporate America is definitely not

    Hoover Institution. Done. And perhaps you missed my intro of "just for instance" which indicates I know they were selected as examples. Also,
    too, Trump v Obama was a quote. I am a bit concerned you think a
    discussion of the Ivy League is weakened if it includes schools other
    than Harvard.

    Meanwhile, how do you explain the SCOTUS billionaire sugar daddy system
    if not an expression of the conservative moneyed elite exerting influence?

    count, it’s more than 60 percent. Likewise, graduates from Harvard are more likely to enter finance and consulting than all other career paths."


    Princeton is one of the least liberal leaning of the Ivy League schools
    along with Penn and Dartmouth. But still leaning left.

    In your rotting putrid mind, thee is no such thing as "woke"
    or a woke company. Relax and get yourself a Ben and Jerry's
    Change is Brewing ice cream cone, while you think this over.
    The former owners of Ben and Jerry's are liberals. Unilever is not
    liberal or "woke" no matter how much marketing refers to happy buzzwords
    like 'natural' or 'sustainable.'

    Apparently, there is no force known to humanity that can induce the Sackblot to explain what "woke" means and why it bothers him so much. I'm inclined
    to accept that he fell under deShittius's spell and now spends 12 hours a day trying to scratch the "mind virus" out of his clattery skull.

    He'll explain sometime after someone compliments him on his umpteenth
    Abbott and Costello pronoun joke.

    Breyers ice cream is so awful, that even some flavors of it can't even legally be
    declared as ice cream.

    There's probably something like it in small brands or local shops, but
    it's sad to see a product degraded and disappear.

    The Texas 'national' brand, Blue Bell, has a Buttered Pecan:

    INGREDIENTS

    Milk, cream, skim milk, sugar, pecans (pecans, cottonseed oil, salt),
    high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, artificial flavor, cellulose gum, vegetable gums (guar, carrageenan, carob bean), salt, caramel color,
    annatto color, artificial color (includes yellow 6).

    A suspicious set of ingredients. There's also the brand history of
    listeria to consider.

    Take a gallon container of cheap store brand ice cream and set it out to melt. Then put it back in the freezer to reconstitute it.
    What you get is about an inch thick hardened substance
    resembling hardened bathtub caulk.

    Do the same thing with a pint of Haagen Dasz or Ben and Jerry's
    What you get is a fully reconstituted edible tub of ice cream of the same volume as before.

    As far as ingredients of a quality ice cream, having egg in the mix is a good sign.

    Jeni's is the higher quality brand showing up here. Don't know if "Brown
    Butter Almond Brittle" is an equivalent, but with temps near 105 for at
    least the next week, I might give it a try.

    Brown butter is delish. It's the basis of Pepp Farm Bordeaux cookies.

    Brittle suggests bits of toffee mixed in. Yum.

    For the last few years, the fastest growing segment of the global
    financial services industry has been ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds.

    Here’s how it works: one of several ratings firms uses its own
    proprietary formula to rate how well a company is responding to
    environmental, social, and governance risks. An environmental risk might
    be: will the county where you’re locating your data centers have
    sufficient water supply in coming years? A governance risk might be:
    have you filed all the proper disclosures?

    Fund managers like BlackRock then gather highly rated companies into ESG
    funds, which are sold to investors as socially responsible. Hundreds of billions of dollars flow into ESG funds every year.

    Note that there’s a bit of a shell game at the heart of the enterprise.
    What customers and investors generally think is that a company gets high
    ESG ratings because it goes above and beyond in those areas, that it is
    trying to “do well by doing good.” But in reality, high ESG ratings
    simply mean that a company is responding to material risks — maximizing
    its profits, as public companies are bound by law to do...

    So investors get to feel like do-gooders and big companies are rewarded
    for carrying out their legal obligation to assess risks to their
    business. There’s not much social benefit to the whole thing, but
    everyone feels good and green and happy.

    Except now there’s a problem: Republicans bought it. The whole sales
    pitch — they believe it. They believe that companies in ESG funds are
    going out of their way to do social and environmental good … and they’re furious about it.

    Over the past year or two, an enormous, billionaire-funded backlash
    against ESG has consumed the GOP, leading to multiple congressional
    hearings, hundreds of proposed state bills, and red-state treasurers
    vowing never to do business with woke lefty activist funds like [checks
    notes] BlackRock.

    End quote.
