‘I’m Not Surprised’: Biden Suggests Putin Could Be Behind Plane Crash Killing Wagner Boss

President Joe Biden said on Aug. 23 that he wasn’t shocked to learn that the Wagner Group chief, who revolted against Russian President Vladimir Putin in June, was on a plane that crashed near Moscow.

The president, who had just finished a Pilates class in Nevada while on vacation, reacted to the news with a mix of skepticism and humor.

When speaking to reporters, he recalled his previous remark.

“You may recall, when I was asked about this by you, I said, ‘I’d be careful what I rode in,’” President Biden said as he sipped his banana-blueberry smoothie.

“I don’t know for a fact what happened, but I’m not surprised.”

A private plane carrying Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Wagner Group, a prominent Russian private military company, crashed northwest of Moscow on Aug. 23. Russian state media confirmed that all 10 passengers on board died in the crash, which occurred in the Tver Oblast region. Some speculate that Russian air defense systems were responsible for shooting down the plane.

When asked if Mr. Putin could be involved, President Biden responded: “There’s not much that happens in Russia that Putin’s not behind. But I don’t know enough to know the answer. I’ve been working out for the last hour and a half.”

He made these remarks while on vacation with several family members at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. According to the White House, the president took a “Pilates class followed by a spin class.”

Mr. Prigozhin launched what some experts called a failed coup attempt against the Russian president in June, before the Kremlin announced his departure for Belarus.

Mr. Putin called Mr. Prigozhin a traitor during the insurrection and threatened to punish him and the group. Later, however, a criminal case against Mr. Prigozhin was dropped.

BlackRock turned down record number of climate proposals amid inflation, ESG pushback

BlackRock says it assesses climate proposals based on its role as a fiduciary to its clients.

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, voted against the vast majority of shareholder proposals related to climate and social issues during the 2022-2023 proxy voting season, the company reported Wednesday.

Overall, BlackRock turned down 742 of the 813 proposals it voted on and 373, or 93 per cent, of the social and climate proposals it faced, according to the company's 2023 Investment Stewardship report published Wednesday morning and shared with FOX Business.

The trillion-dollar asset manager explained that it has seen a higher number of low-quality shareholder proposals, largely due to federal guidance issued by the Biden administration in 2021.

"We observed a greater number of overly prescriptive proposals or ones lacking economic merit,"Joud Abdel Majeid, BlackRock's global head of investment stewardship, wrote in the report. "Importantly, the majority of these proposals failed to recognize that companies are already meeting their asks."

"Because so many proposals were over-reaching, lacking economic merit, or simply redundant, they were unlikely to help promote long-term shareholder value and received less support from shareholders, including BlackRock, than in years past," she continued.

The report noted that BlackRock saw a record number of shareholder proposals, especially those related to environmental and social issues, during the proxy voting season, which took place during the period between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023.

The company said there was an uptick of 34% year-over-year of environmental and social votes. Last year, the company saw a 130% jump in such proposals.

BlackRock said in the report that the higher number of such proposals could largely be attributed to guidance published in November 2021 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) broadening the scope of permissible proposals to include those that address "significant social policy issues."

At the time, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler applauded the guidance, saying it would "provide greater clarity," while Republican SEC members and lawmakers blasted it for creating more confusion.

The change, BlackRock said in its report, effectively enables more shareholder proposals, including ones that are lower quality, to appear on company ballots.

The company specifically stated numerous proposals did not clearly "identify an issue associated with a material risk that could undermine a company’s ability to deliver durable financial returns."

And most of the climate and social proposals failed to acknowledge the "improvements companies have made to their disclosures and practices."

“Who the F*ck Do You Think You Are?” – Trump Supporter Harrison Floyd Indicted by Legal Scholar Fani Willis for Speech Crimes – Body-Slammed Chris Wray’s FBI Agent During Home Visit

Trump supporter William Prescott (Harrison) Floyd was indicted last week by legal scholar Fani Willis in Georgia for speaking to Ruby Freeman after the election.

Floyd who was a leader of Black Voices for Trump and Kanye West’s publicist Trevian Kutti, spoke with Ruby Freeman after the stolen 2020 election and encouraged her to go with them to the police station where they spoke with her under the watchful eye of police officers.

This was enough to get the two indicted. It is now illegal to speak to election workers who were caught on video shoving stacks of ballots through voting machines at least three times apiece.

On Wednesday the mainstream media reported that Harrison Floyd body slammed an FBI agent during a visit to Harrison’s home. Floyd screamed at the FBI agent, “Who the f*ck do you think you are?”

We all know that Harrison’s real crime was supporting Trump.

Now he will be trotted out for his show-trial in front of legal scholar Fani Willis.

The Washington Post reported:

A Trump supporter indicted last week in Fulton County, Ga., for allegedly harassing an election worker was charged earlier this year with attacking an FBI agent working on the Justice Department’s parallel investigation of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

The arrest of Harrison William Prescott Floyd III, which has not been previously reported, offers new information about the breadth of the federal probe led by special counsel Jack Smith, who has charged former president Donald Trump for allegedly attempting to obstruct Joe Biden’s election victory.

It could also complicate any bail agreement for Floyd in Fulton County, where District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) has said he and the 18 others indicted on state-level charges last week — a group that includes Trump — must surrender by Friday or risk being arrested.

Floyd, 39, also known as Willie Lewis Floyd III, is a little-known player who helped run Trump’s 2020 campaign outreach to Black voters. An online member profile and Q-and-A posted by the University Club of Washington in November 2021 describes him as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran whose assignments included roles as a machine gunner, combat marksmanship trainer and martial arts instructor.

If we find a fundraising page for Harrison please post it in the comments or email it to our tips address.
