THE MORNING RANT: More Winning in the Culture Wars at the State & Local Level
Barclays was previously identified as a potential “fossil fuel boycotter” under Texas law. The bank subsequently opted not to respond to questions about its ESG commitments, Paxton’s office said. The Attorney General’s Public Finance Division ruled that “we will not approve any public security issued on or after today’s date in which Barclays purchases or underwrites the public security or is otherwise a party to a covered contract relating to the public security.”One state Attorney General like Ken Paxton can do so much more in the fight against the woke agenda than any elected official in Washington, which is also why the RINO-Democrat alliance in Texas fought so hard to remove Paxton from office via impeachment. There were plenty of squish Republicans in Texas who would have played along with the failed impeachment too, but their constituents made it clear that if they terminated Paxton’s career, they would also be terminating their own political careers.
In a highly unusual move, Arizona utility regulators ordered their staff to draft new rules that would repeal the state's existing mandates for renewable energy and energy efficiency.Perhaps this is being reported as a ”highly unusual move” because the left isn’t used to receiving pushback to its eco-communist agenda. The reason this could happen at all is that conservative Republicans hold 4 of the 5 seats on the commission, and they are responsive to rate payers who cannot afford higher rates for unicorn-based electricity. These regulatory officers were voted into office in statewide elections. While these Corporate Commission seats are not as prestigious as the US Senate seats that Martha McSally keeps losing, they are much more important to the everyday life of Arizonans, and these four Republican commissioners have done more to defeat the anti-carbon agenda than all the Senators in Washington combined. State and local elections matter.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster ceremonially signed a measure mandating the state's retirement system to consider only "pecuniary factors" when making investment decisions. H.3690, the ESG Pension Protection Act, effectively bans the South Carolina Retirement System Investment Commission from weighing environmental, social and governance factors and orders the system to maximize the highest rate of return for beneficiaries.State and local elections in South Carolina put the legislators and Governor in office to make this anti-ESG victory happen.
JPMorgan Chase and institutional investors BlackRock and State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) on Thursday announced that they are quitting or, in the case of BlackRock, substantially scaling back involvement in a massive United Nations climate alliance formed to combat global warming through corporate sustainability agreements. The stunning announcements come as the largest financial institutions in the U.S. and worldwide face an onslaught of pressure from consumer advocates and Republican states over their environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities.Again, this retrenchment by globalist woke capital isn’t happening because of any Republican in Congress. This is happening because of conservative Republicans elected at the state level, and acting at the state level. Will the globalist villains of high-finance try to rebrand their evil agenda? Of course they will, but now they know that we are watching them, and we are ready to divest if they backslide. Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar is celebrating the withdraw of those big investment firms from the climate alliance, but he remains watchful and skeptical of them too. “Texas still skeptical about companies claiming to withdraw from ESG commitments” [The Center Square – 02/16/2024]
Hegar said in a statement on Thursday that companies distancing themselves from CA100+ is a “welcome development.” However, he remains skeptical. He explained the experiences his staff have had when talking to people in the financial industry. “We heard firms telling Texas one thing but then providing very different and often contradictory information to states like New York or California,” he said. “Unfortunately, some of that doublespeak continues in these announcements.”It is a positive development that aspiring politicians in red states have learned they can advance their political careers by going to battle against woke, anti-American corporations. The eco-communists of Wall Street cannot bluff their way through the red state pushback. Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar is more important in the culture wars than either of Texas’ senators in Washington. State and local elections matter.
The move by the board of regents follows revelations in a recent report published by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism & Policy (ISGAP) which highlighted Qatar’s relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood and uncovered "its extensive financial arrangements with Texas A&M University."Under pressure from alums and regular citizens, A&M Regents voted 7-1 to close its Qatar campus.
The Regents voted this way because they have finally learned to fear voters and angry alumni more than they fear the noisy, left-wing radicals that are so prominent in the halls of Texas A&M.
University officials noted that the scholarship potentially violates Texas’ new ban on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in state universities and colleges, according to internal messages obtained by The Dallas Morning News. A new Texas law, signed by Gov. Greg Abbot in May, requires the elimination of DEI offices and any programming based on race, color, ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation.Yes, I’m a stuck record, but this victory occurred because voters elected legislators who made it happen, and a Governor who signed the law. And most importantly, many of those elected officials who might not have wanted to vote that way did so because they knew they would pay the price at the ballot box if they betrayed their constituents. State and local elections matter.

I think some of the push-back is that some people were getting physically uncomfortable with the climate/SJW/leftist bullshit. Either they were losing more money than they wanted or it was costing them more than they thought it would to virtue signal their ideology.

"State and local elections matter."

All fine and dandy, but the "answer" is not in elections. It's in the people reaching the point of recognizing government isn't the answer, government doesn't have the answer, and indeed, government is the problem.
Better government is still bad government.

Thx Buck , great post. One of the things driving the collapse in the corporate world of DEI and ESG is the threat of shareholder lawsuits. DEI and ESG aren't profitable and are lowering the value of the shares, ergo the directors and executives should not be engaging in them. Of course the WEF prefers stakeholders aka corporate socialism which says profitablity is irrelevant versus 'goodness"

Let's keep in mind that the esg, dei and green crap folks are the same type who tried to push communism for decades. When openly pushing it they made no headway, so they resorted to subterfuge and invaded academe where it was easier to get that thin wedge in the door. Once there they pushed communism, socialism and any other bad ism they could find. This isn't over and everyone needs to be very vigilant.

Tomorrow, early voting begins in TX. I’m voting against RINOs like my State Rep. He is in office to serve TASB and the school lobby, not District 88. He must go. (He hates conservatives but man he needs their votes and his propaganda touts his “conservatism”.)

Along similar lines, private businesses can make a difference, too.
Tiny NY town loses its giant Remington factory, it's moving to "gun friendly" Georgia. Remington started in Ilion in upstate New York in 1816 and grew into a one million square foot factory. With a population of just 7,600, the factory has long been the town's main employer.
Cheaper labor. Right-to-work. Whole ny families will be destroyed.
That right there is why they are moving. it isn't about "gun friendly", it's about being able to pay people less and fire at will.
Imagine thinking you've got a job for life, and then this rug gets pulled out from under you? This is going to decimate that town. Itll be another rundown rust belt town with shuttered businesses and boarded up homes.
There's a public library. Wonder how it's funded? This is the kind of hit that hits the library hard!
The funny thing is, Remington makes hunting guns, not assault rifles. They tried AR's and handguns for a time but that mostly failed. Now it's mostly bolt action deer rifles and shotguns. Guns used in mass shootings are rarely Remington models.

Speaking of struggles, my cats and I are in a constant battle over the litter box. As soon as I clean it out, they leave a nice smelly dump on top. If I don't clean out the box for a few days, they put time and effort into burying the thing.
So it's either instant, piercing stench, or the slow, constant, dull odor.

38 Speaking of struggles, my cats and I are in a constant battle over the litter box. As soon as I clean it out, they leave a nice smelly dump on top. If I don't clean out the box for a few days, they put time and effort into burying the thing.
So it's either instant, piercing stench, or the slow, constant, dull odor.

Maybe you could clean the box more often? You flush the toilet every time you use it, No?

"Presidential scholars and historians" are leftist shitweasels who put FDR up at the top because he was "active" despite the fact that his policies extended the Great Depression by years.
Obama was regularly high up during his presidency (top five, if I remember correctly). If Biden is 14, then even they think he sucks.

Sounds like TX is in the process of turning blue-ish. I think there's a concerted effort to make that happen.
People like Cornyn would probably like that and very well may be providing assistance. Whether it's a successful transition for the state is debatable, but I think there is an effort underway to turn it.

Another great post, Buck.
Thanks for laying out the more positive political news from several states. But I, from one of those always controversial red states, greatly appreciate the following, too:
"Primary elections will be held over the next few months to choose candidates for the 2024 general election in November. I implore you to do a little research and find out which Republicans are movement conservatives, and which are just seeking office as a Republican. In red states where Democrats don’t have much of a chance in November, liberal candidates often run as Republicans and then betray their voters once elected."
Truth, but we can NEVER give up.

But the Biden bull stock market story isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Most of the gains in the market have only made up for the miserable returns in Biden’s disastrous first two years in office when stocks lost almost 15 percent of their value. In other words, for the most part, the last 14 months have simply made up for the lost ground during the 2022 rout in stocks.

I bought a contraption, some years ago. The videos made it look like a breeze (sorry). It wasn't. The thing would clog, muck would stick to the tongs... and the cheap plastic bin was worse than just picking up the stuff myself (with a scoop, I'm not a philistine).

Sounds like TX is in the process of turning blue-ish. I think there's a concerted effort to make that happen.
People like Cornyn would probably like that and very well may be providing assistance. Whether it's a successful transition for the state is debatable, but I think there is an effort underway to turn it.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at February 19, 2024 11:22 AM (Q4IgG)
There is, and has been, a massive effort to return Texas to the blue camp. Thus far, though, we seem to continue to get redder.

In red states where Democrats don’t have much of a chance in November, liberal candidates often run as Republicans and then betray their voters once elected.
This is a real problem in my state. A perfect example is that rino bastard Boozman. And Tom Cotton isn't much better. Would love to replace both.

The evidence of Texas turning blue is always some massively well funded (99% from out of state) challenger who gets within striking distance after spending a hundred million dollars on a campaign while the rest of the ticket goes very solidly red.
Like the year Beto lost only by 5 or so to Cruz while Abbott won his gubernatorial race by 16.

We had 3+ years of real prosperity, low inflation, low prices, a border as secure as it's been, no foreign wars, relative and increasing peace in the middle east, no Russian aggression, no Chinese aggression, relatively safe and secure streets, etc. What's not to like??

I absolutely agree. the left will rant about him being a homophobic, racist, antisemite,demagogue and no reporter ever asks for an example. No matter how many times Charlottesville is debunked, Ds still believe that Trump is a Nazi.
It is impossible to argue with a leftist because there is no rational basis for their beliefs.

Cotton statement released on January 6, 2021:
“Last summer, as insurrection gripped the streets, I called to send in the troops if necessary to restore order. Today, insurrectionists occupied our Capitol. Fortunately, the Capitol Police and other law-enforcement agencies restored order without the need for federal troops. But the principle remains the same: no quarter for insurrectionists. Those who attacked the Capitol today should face the full extent of federal law.
It’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence. And the senators and representatives who fanned the flames by encouraging the president and leading their supporters to believe that their objections could reverse the election results should withdraw those objections. In any event, the Congress will complete its constitutional responsibilities tonight.”
Not his finest moment, but this was long before we really knew what had happened on J6. But sure, let's get rid of one of our best.

Those who attacked the Capitol today should face the full extent of federal law.
It’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence. And the senators and representatives who fanned the flames by encouraging the president and leading their supporters to believe that their objections could reverse the election results should withdraw those objections. In any event, the Congress will complete its constitutional responsibilities tonight.”
Not his finest moment, but this was long before we really knew what had happened on J6. But sure, let's get rid of one of our best.

Some guy named Sig Sauer is stirring up trouble!
With a first name like Sig, what do you expect? We used to have a next door neighbor with a dog named Kimber and another across the street with a dog named Remington. If I ever get another dog, maybe he'll be named Sig.

What is everyone's beef with Trump's presidency? I don't get it and nobody ever actual explains it.

It's the old Juan Williams line - "Oh there's just too many things to mention!" Okay - well go ahead, we've got time. Then every dumb point gets refuted.

Eisenhower, who won WWII
Reagan, who won the Cold War, and
Grant, who won the Civil War
I declare the list to be stupid, asinine, ill-conceived, and therefore invalid

In defense of lowering Grant on the scale: his presidency wasn't great. He didn't win the Civil War as president.
His presidency was marred because he was an outsider that the Republican Party felt like they didn't need to deal with in order to get what they wanted, lying to him about how they would support him in private conversation, and then undermining him through Congressional action. Also, his cabinet kind of sucked.

To be honest, TX isn't the only red state the left wants to flip. The want all of them blue. But there are some states, like FL and TX that are "crown jewels" for the radicals they'd really love to flip.

64 Sounds like TX is in the process of turning blue-ish. I think there's a concerted effort to make that happen.
People like Cornyn would probably like that and very well may be providing assistance. Whether it's a successful transition for the state is debatable, but I think there is an effort underway to turn it.

I'm celebrating President Benjamin Harrison who was from Indiana. His house, Grouseland is in Vincennes Indiana near Vincennes University (the oldest college in the state). I attended VU and lived on campus but never did visit the house. I've been to the George Rogers Clark memorial many times but have never visited Grouseland.
I think we will be going to the Spirit of Vincennes Rendezvous this year and might have to make time to visit the President's home.
The girl spawn will be attending VU in the fall. Today she is celebrating sleeping.

Speaking of struggles, my cats and I are in a constant battle over the litter box. As soon as I clean it out, they leave a nice smelly dump on top. If I don't clean out the box for a few days, they put time and effort into burying the thing.
So it's either instant, piercing stench, or the slow, constant, dull odor.

Had been waiting for 100. (I never understand all of the rules.) Anyway, two things:
#1. The President and The First Lady arrive at the White House, today, this AM.
And some of the Horde mentioned FDR as ranked as a top President:
#2. FEBRUARY 19, 2024, Statement from President Joe Biden on the Day of Remembrance of Japanese American Incarceration, HOME, BRIEFING ROOM, STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
On this day in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the forcible incarceration of over 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent – half of whom were children. It was shameful. Families were separated. Communities were torn apart. People were stripped of their dignity. And the unconstitutional and unconscionable policy was even upheld by the Supreme Court.

Elric Blade — There was an article linked at RCP this morning. A real lefty who was writing for his fellow travelers warning that there are lots of normies who don’t hate Trump and look back fondly on his presidency as good times economically. This guy said: we lefties better realize that reality and address it or he’s gonna win again. Some on their side know… this was a guy who admitted he was depressed for all 4 years of Trump’s term

In the face of injustice, 33,000 Japanese Americans stepped up and courageously served in the U.S. military during World War II. They demonstrated loyalty and patriotism. We honor those service men and women, as well as the legacy of civil rights leaders like Fred Korematsu, Minoru Yasui, Gordon Hirabayashi, and Mitsuye Endo, along with every Japanese American who organized and worked to right a wrong. Their sacrifice, their resilience and their belief that civil liberties and freedom must be vigorously defended inspire us today.
I decided to run for President to restore the Soul of America. To confront racism, xenophobia, and hate in all its forms. To strengthen and preserve our democracy. We remember the tragic legacy of Executive Order 9066 – and the trauma it inflicted – by reaffirming the Federal Government’s formal apology to Japanese Americans.

Ohio Senate primary on March 19th, winner faces current Dem. POS Sen. Sherrod Brown.
State Sen. Matt Dolan,
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose,
and businessman Bernie Moreno
Moreno is endorsed by Trump. I'm leaning towards LaRose, he's more polished than Moreno, but I still have doubts about an elected politician. Dolan would be another Tillis or similar.
Polls show a near dead heat among the 3, and all three being narrowly edged out by Brown. Same polls show Trump leading outside margin of error over Biden.
Brown has ads showing how he worked with D's and R's to save steel jobs in OH. After all this, I still don't get how some voters could mark Trump and Brown. Idiots.

Was gonna respond on last thread, but willow time.
Anyway, that was an interesting time in Hollywood with factions pulling in different directions. WB, for instance, simply didn't want to cut themselves off from the German market, so they did things like all but eliminating mention of Dreyfus' Jewish heritage in The Life of Emile Zola. On the other end was Chaplin who made The Great Dictator which ended with a plea to fight Hitler all but directly.
In David Fincher's Mank, it's a small plot point designed to shit on Louis B. Mayer (head of MGM) and make Mank into some kind of secular saint.

The fire in France occurred at a storehouse in the town in Viviez in Aveyron, and residents were told to stay indoors by authorities.
Locals were ordered to keep their doors and window closed as the thick smoke engulfed the town. No injuries or deaths were reported.

Yesterday, drove past a near-new subdivision out east of Queen Creek. Nearly every home (which all looked nearly alike) had arrays of solar panels on the roof. Futility aside, those things are ugly. And the poor bloody taxpayers are paying for them.

Several sources have identified Shannon Cortez Gooden, 38, as the deceased suspect in the shooting today that killed 2 Burnsville police officers and a fire medic. He petitioned to have his gun rights restored in 2020 in relation to a 2008 felony assault conviction.
He was just a fine young man trying to get his life back together when police officers wrongfully attempted to deliver justice by framing him for crimes he couldn't possibly have committed, again.

Ann Richards left office in 1995. There are those who act as if Texas has been a Republican stronghold for centuries. All states are eminently flippable, and the "you should move to a red state like mine" line has made monkeys of some estimable personages.
Most of us move when our corporations transfer us, or a family needs to be close together. We do our internet best to put a bold revolutionary face on that.

Hey remember when the media went ape shit over the KC Super Bowl parade shooting? Whatever happened to that story.
Oh yea, the suspects taken into custody are two black kids and an illegal alien.
The media is nothing more than an extension of the deep state.

Daniel Williams, come pick up your junk.
For more than six months, a parade of unsolicited Amazon packages — large and small, cheap and expensive, free or fraudulently billed — have arrived at John DeFiore’s rural Woodside home, addressed to a mysterious Mr. Williams.
“It’s like the Twilight Zone,” said DeFiore, 61, an electrical engineer who is meticulous about his online shopping habits and credit card use.
“We don’t want any of this stuff,” he said. “It’s not ours. We have everything we need.”

Washingtons, Adams, and Lincoln. My top 3.
Yes, voting at the state level and below is crucial. At the federal level? Meaningless.
Congress is completely useless. USINT (or Deep State if you prefer) has more power and authority than Congress, and there is no political will to change that. With the other two branches fully captured and illegitimate, nothing at the federal level matters.

What is everyone's beef with Trump's presidency? I don't get it and nobody ever actual explains it. I get it that many people -- including on this site -- don't like him personally. I'm not here to debate that.
What I'm talking about is his presidency. We had 3+ years of real prosperity, low inflation, low prices, a border as secure as it's been, no foreign wars, relative and increasing peace in the middle east, no Russian aggression, no Chinese aggression, relatively safe and secure streets, etc. What's not to like?? Even if you hate the guy personally, wasn't even leftwing Democraps' lives better under Trump??
Posted by: Elric Blade at February 19, 2024 11:37 AM (iFTx/)
That last year was a doozy, though.
Most of the disingenuous people put the blame for the entirety of that year on Trump, to support their claim that he was a failure.
I put blame on him for (as he often did) getting rolled by the bureaucrats and pushing the dangerous vaccine, but he clearly isn't a failure simply for that.

#2. FEBRUARY 19, 2024, Statement from President Joe Biden on the Day of Remembrance of Japanese American Incarceration, HOME, BRIEFING ROOM, STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
On this day in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the forcible incarceration of over 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent - half of whom were children. It was shameful. Families were separated. Communities were torn apart. People were stripped of their dignity. And the unconstitutional and unconscionable policy was even upheld by the Supreme Court.

What is everyone's beef with Trump's presidency?
I have no beef with the prosperity and peace. My complaints?
1. He didn't lock Hillary up (not that I ever believed he would).
2. His applause line about the MFM being the enemy of the people ended up as a stupid, sick joke.
3. He got completely steamrolled over Kung Flu.
I have other complaints, but those are my top three.

>>> That last year was a doozy, though.
Most of the disingenuous people put the blame for the entirety of that year on Trump, to support their claim that he was a failure.
I put blame on him for (as he often did) getting rolled by the bureaucrats and pushing the dangerous vaccine, but he clearly isn't a failure simply for that.

If you haven't read Mencken sum up Lincoln, and especially the Gettysburg Address, you should:
"that government of the people, by the people, for the people,” should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. What was the practical effect of the battle of Gettysburg? What else than the destruction of the old sovereignty of the States, i. e., of the people of the States? The Confederates went into battle an absolutely free people; they came out with their freedom subject to the supervision and vote of the rest of the country—and for nearly twenty years that vote was so effective that they enjoyed scarcely any freedom at all. "

President Warpspeed owns the blame for preventing you from suing Pfizer for a heart that's 3 sizes too big.
He certainly owns the blame for allowing the election to be stolen.
Honestly, he was/is a typical Northeastern liberal. He isn't Hillary, but he enabled her, enriched her, rubbed elbows with her.
I'm glad you're fine with it. I'm not. And my attitude toward him didn't make him fail.

1) replied to someone complaining that Obola was ranked higher than Grant
2) listed a bunch of reasons to downgrade Grant
did not explicitly use the words Obama was a better president than Grant. I stand corrected..

[]iI will most likely vote for David Trone (D)ummy over Lockdown Larry Hogan for Senator in Maryland. IF Hogan wins he'll be an annoying figure on CNN and MSLSD for the next 4 years. No thanks, I'd vote for the devil before I'd vote for Hogan
You're right, that's exactly what he'll do. You know what else he'll do? Caucus with the Republicans, which means we keep power out of Chuck Schumer's hands. I'll take that trade. It isn't like MD is eventually going to elect another GOP senator if we just hang tough.

The only chance for any Republican to get elected in MD is Hogan. I don;t care if he is a RINO, it will make no difference if there is a D in the seat except and this is a huge except, the majority gets to determine the make up of committees. It is not 51-49% split on committees. Whether legislation reaches the floor depends on it being read out of committee. Thhis is huge. As well as determining the Senate leadership and McConnel's days are over.

Honestly, he was/is a typical Northeastern liberal. He isn't Hillary, but he enabled her, enriched her, rubbed elbows with her.
I'm glad you're fine with it. I'm not. And my attitude toward him didn't make him fail.

I guess I'm "fine with it" as the alternative (Biden's handleers) is worse.
"Not a failure" doesn't mean "the best presient evah!!!" However, even with his faulures, he's likely the second-best president in my lifetime.

We're going to need to invent a time machine and go back to somewhere around 1963 (maybe earlier) to avoid becoming a dictatorship.
We definitely were by the mid-70s

We literally already have that. The dictatorship of the administrative state.

Sure, but with a stolen election, we also have an installed dictator running our modern feudal dictatorship.
Change my mind.

always, the rich started the war that cost us so much. My father's grandfather left his tobacco farm and fought for South Carolina even though he didn't own any slaves at all.

Yes at that time it was loyalty to your State that was the reason to fight. So much so that Lee chose to fight for the South.
That tells me the confederacy wouldn't have lasted long if it had survived the war.

TJM, I think that the candidates running in Red states and the excellent potential candidates running against weak Ds can change the dynamic pretty dramatically and adding an R from a solidly blue state can only help push in the right direction. R's have a huge advantage this year as there are way more D senate seats up.
A minority of conservative voices in the R delegation in the Houose seems to have made some progress.
I have some hope.

Excellent point. It's not just that we get one more Senator, it's that they have one less, from a very blue state.

The Ides were not always on the 15th. Sometimes they were on the 13th.
In March, July, October, May,
The Ides are on the fifteenth day
The Nones the Ninth, all else besides
Are two days less for Nones and Ides
I thank you, Lola Morrison (my Latin teacher in high school).

I was willing to give him plenty of credit for the first 3 years, but it's not how you start, it's how you finish. For me, he'll always be the man who presided over the death of the republic.

Yeah? Because only if you're actually being dragged off into the night are you suffering under a dictatorship?
Do European countries have freedom? They can be jailed for speech, but most of the time people say what they please.

Re scrutinizing GOP primaries: At the moment, there are 57 Reps and only 5 Dems in the WY House of Representatives. There are only 23,000 registered Dem voters left in the entire state, so you KNOW that some of them became Republicans to prop up Liz Cheney in her losing 2022 re-election primary bid. And thus, a some of those 57 reps are really Dems in disguise. Like Dan Bongino says, some Reps are really Dems, but no Dems are really Reps.

One of my alma maters opened a campus in some Middle Eastern hellhole, I don't recall which. This mad frenzy of universities to rush over there and bend over for them disgusted me when it started. Glad to see at least one Board of Regents thinks better of it.
