To Melania — Prologue — Just Another Lunch “Grab ’em by the pussy.” The sentence that reverberated around the world on October 7, 2016. The quote was an excerpt from a recording that became forever known as “the Access Hollywood tape,” published by the Washington Post and aired on NBC News, a month before the 2016 presidential election. It had been recorded eleven years earlier, in September 2005, on a bus taking Donald Trump to make a cameo on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives. Now infamously, Donald told TV host Billy Bush, “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy.” When the story broke about the tape I was deeply immersed in my oldest son, Zach’s, health problems related to his life-threatening food allergies and other issues that required many doctor’s visits and therapies. My middle son, Tyler, was transferring to a new school, and my daughter, Alexi, was adjusting to hers.

  • We Understand That the U.S. Department of Labor Announced a Proposed Rule That Would “Update and Clarify” the Department of Labor’S Investment Duties Regulation
    July 26, 2020 Office of Regulations and Interpretations Employee Benefits Security Administration, Room N-5655, U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue NW Washington, DC 20210 Attention: Financial Factors in Selecting Plan Investments Proposed Regulation. Document Citation: 85 FR 39113 Page: 39113-39128 (16 pages) CFR: 29 CFR 2550 RIN: 1210-AB95 Document Number: 2020-13705 Dear Sir/Madam: We understand that the U.S. Department of Labor announced a proposed rule that would “update and clarify” the Department of Labor’s investment duties regulation. According to the news release issued announcing this proposed rule, “Private employer-sponsored retirement plans are not vehicles for furthering social goals or policy objectives that are not in the financial interest of the plan,” said Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia. “Rather, ERISA plans should be managed with unwavering focus on a single, very important social goal: providing for the retirement security of American workers.” We are writing to provide comments on this proposed rule. Background The core idea behind the work of William Michael Cunningham at Creative Investment Research is the recognition that mainstream market-based solutions do not maximize social return. This leads to an underappreciation for the value of human life. We develop market-based innovations to counter this. The elevation of “Chicago-school” economic theories has led to a focus on celebrity and money worship. These magnify and worsen the misallocation of economic resources identified above. Our development of social return investment technologies and the subsequent rise of social entrepreneurs are the methods we have used in this effort. We have radically augmented the development of new investment theories that are the key, we believe, to a higher level of human development.

Faut-il rire de ce bouffon qui s’enorgueillit de la taille de son « Bouton nucléaire », rehaussé d’une majuscule, comme il avait vanté la taille de sa virilité dans un débat télévisé de sa campagne ?

  • September 18, 2018 Democracy Reform Task Force Rep
    � -.· ,.. ..7 1, . � � SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 DEMOCRACY REFORM TASK FORCE REP. JOHN SARBANES, CHAIR President Donald J. Trump campaigned on a promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington. He vowed that as President he would take steps to break the “cycle of corruption” and end “decades of special interest dealing,” 1 and he pledged to aggressively pursue meaningful reforms to improve transparency and accountability in government. 2 But President Trump has broken this promise to the American people. Specifically, the Trump Administration has: • Made a Mockery of Ethics Law and Regulation • Promoted a Culture of Secrecy in the Executive Branch • Stacked His Cabinet with Big Money Campaign Donors • Installed a Special-Interest Revolving Door into the Trump White House • Put Big Money Ahead of the Public Interest • Turned the Presidency into a Profit-Making Enterprise • Pursued Public Policy for Trump’s Personal Benefit • Raided the Treasury to Pay for Vacation & Private Business Promotion As President Trump marks his 600th day in office, this report – the sixth edition in the Democracy Reform Task Force’s series of “100 Ways” oversight reports – lists 600 ways that the Trump Administration has broken its campaign promises. Here are all of the examples. 1 Donald J. Trump Campaign. “Trump Pledged to Drain the Swamp and Impose Congressional Term Limits.” October 18, 2016. 2 Ibid President Trump’s “Ethics” Executive Order was supposed to “drain the swamp.” As this exhaustive list shows, the Executive Order was just another example of President Trump’s tendency to overpromise and underdeliver. We have continued to witness the Administration openly flouting ethics regulations and conflict-of-interest law to an unprecedented degree.
