ESG Undermines Social Welfare

September 5, 2024 David Brady Jr.

ESG has become a buzzword for both the American Left and Right. For the Right, it is just a Trojan horse for progressive social attitudes to sneak into business.

March 15, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Silicon Valley Bank was woke and went broke. It was obsessed with arbitrary equity and diversity in its people, not so much its portfolio. A message that has not landed on deaf ears.

January 15, 2023 Steve MacDonald

BlackRock® invests other people’s money and a lot of it, but not everyone is happy about how. Its commitment to “Environmental, Social and Governance” (ESG) has become an albatross around the company’s neck.

First Old Glory Bank (No ESG BS) and Now ProLife Bank

December 26, 2022December 26, 2022 Steve MacDonald

In early December, we reported on Old Glory Bank. Not #Woke, no ESG, and no BS. Banking for ordinary people. Well, the idea’s been catching. Based in Dallas, Texas, but available worldwide, ProLife Bank would “honor God’s wealth and inspire change in our world.”

Say Hello to Old Glory Bank. It’s not #Woke, No ESG, and No BS.

December 9, 2022December 9, 2022 Steve MacDonald
