THE MORNING RANT: The Hartford Insurance is Canceling Coverage to the American Energy Institute Because It Promotes Carbon-Based Energy
The Hartford Insurance Company just notified the American Energy Institute that its insurance coverage is being cancelled because it’s the stated policy of The Hartford that it discriminates against carbon-energy advocates. This is in service to The Hartford’s radical Net Zero / DEI agenda.
I’m not engaging in hyperbole. The non-renewal notice from The Hartford to the American Energy Institute explicitly stated that, ”The reason for non-renewal is we have learned from your Facebook page that your operations include Trade association involved in promoting social / political causes related to energy production. This is not an acceptable exposure under The Hartford’s Small Commercial business segment guidelines.”
Last last month, @4AmericanEnergy received a letter from @TheHartford informing me that our insurance policy was not going to be renewed. "The reason for nonrenewal is we have learned from your Facebook page that your operations include Trade association involved in promoting… pic.twitter.com/Go7wSZeJoS
— Fmr. Rep. Jason Isaac (@ISAACforEnergy) March 7, 2025
The Hartford continues to prioritize sustainable business practices, creating value for our stakeholders and leveraging our strengths to do well while doing good.Mr. Swift’s fanatical devotion to the left’s agenda is further revealed in that same report:
The Hartford’s Chairman and CEO, Christopher Swift, is a long-time DEI advocate and is the foremost champion of The Hartford’s DEI initiatives.As for The Hartford’s radical anti-carbon agenda that is being imposed by CEO Christopher Swift, it was only seven months ago that the company released its 2024 Task Force Climate Related Financial Disclosures in which The Hartford explicitly discusses its commitment to not only going “net zero” as a company, but also being a participant in eradicating the carbon-energy industry and related businesses altogether.
In April 2022, we announced an ambition to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions for our full range of businesses and operations by 2050, in alignment with the Paris Climate Accord. Achieving our net zero ambition will depend on multiple external variables, including aggregate reporting of and adherence to measurement protocols that remain under development. Despite this uncertainty, we are committed to seeking an approach that reflects a balanced transition to a green economy – our priorities must serve both our net zero ambition and our commitment to a just, equitable and achievable energy transition…Carbon-based energy is the fuel that propels freedom and prosperity, which Christopher Swift and The Hartford have made clear they seek to eradicate. There needs to be legal and financial consequences for this malicious behavior by Mr. Swift and The Hartford. Any communications promoting this discriminatory agenda among BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street with The Hartford, as well as between The Hartford and other insurance companies, would possibly be grounds for a racketeering investigation by Pam Bondi and state attorney generals. It might also be easy to find other criminal violations including anti-trust, collusion, fiduciary negligence, and denial of civil rights. The good news is that Texas is already pushing back against The Hartford. State Senator Bryan Hughes (R) heads the “Committee on State Affairs” and he fired off a letter last week to CEO Christopher Swift regarding The Hartford’s admitted policy of viewpoint discrimination. Senator Bryan has demanded a significant amount of documentation by the end of this week, including proof that The Hartford is consistent and similarly discriminates against anti-carbon advocates and against those promoting green energy. Here is some of what was in Sen. Hughes’ letter. The entire letter is pasted further below.
It won’t be sufficient for The Hartford to say “Oops” and simply un-cancel the American Energy Institute’s coverage while continuing to go on discriminating against other energy-related customers. This is an excellent opportunity for red states to make a statement. If The Hartford faces licensing cancellation across much of the United States, and if Christopher Swift finds himself having to lawyer up to defend against The Hartford’s discriminatory business practices, executives across corporate America might start to re-think their desire to be obedient apparatchiks in service to Klaus Schwab and Larry Fink. The full letter from the State of Texas’s Committee on State Affairs is immediately below.
We are very concerned that an insurance company that does business in Texas would behave with such an antagonistic view towards energy production. In an effort to understand the extent of your discrimination, please provide the committee with the following information: • The Hartford’s Small Business segment’s guidelines;
• All other guidelines, rules, policies, or procedures relating to the rejection of any customer or potential customer based upon any viewpoint;
• All documents applying the above guidelines to reject any potential customer or to decline to renew the policy of any existing customer, including all internal communications;
• All information evaluating the relative insurable risk of companies involved in, “promoting social/political causes related to energy production” as compared to other companies;
• A list of any potential or existing customer who has had a policy declined or non-renewed based upon the guidelines referenced above;
• A list of all existing customers that are involved in social or political causes related to energy production including customers that promote “green energy” or advocate against oil and gas production and all documents related to the decision to continue to offer The Hartford products to them; and
• The identity of any employee of The Hartford and any of its companies who has any input into the decision to accept or reject a customer based upon the customer’s viewpoint.

Intrigued by the Hartford's Matt McCoy commercials about lower car insurance rates for seniors, I called. *They would not even give me a quote* unless I was already in AARP. I sputtered, "How can I decide whether your quote would save me more than the AARP dues for a year, if I can't hear what it is?"
"State law, sir."

When I first bought my business, I had all of my insurance through the Hartford. They had an agreement with my franchise and I was honestly just figuring out all of the stuff of owning my own business. After a year, I got additional quotes and found out I was paying 2-3 times what other agencies charge. Almost 4 times for workers comp. It was insane. I am glad I dropped them.

More like managed by the three witches of Blackrock, State Street, and Vanguard. They really need to be stripped of voting shares for their account holders. It should be required that they get a specific opt in from each accountholder in order to vote those shares at shareholder meetings, and for board members.
James Burnham called it the Managerial Economy where ownership has been divorced from management. Management runs it for themselves and their preferences with the stockholders be damned. Total violation of fiduciary responsibility.

Massie isn't wrong necessarily except he's ignoring the President's reasoning and helping stop the momentum we have built up. All of the sudden he wants to be principled instead of trusting the strategy of Trump . We would never had DOGE which he refers to if it wasn't for Trump.

I seem to recall The Hartford advertising on [iThe Wonderful World of Disney some sixty-five years ago. That was in the days when insurance companies touted their utter reliability and safety, and didn't advertise solely with humor. The latter is entertaining -- see the original State Farm spots with "Jake," and more than a few of the "Flo" spots for Progressive. But it doesn't tell you much about the track record of the company.

The left's infiltration into the insurance industry is by design. Insurance is a requirement for home ownership and automobile ownership. Both are "somewhat" regulated... auto insurance seems to be lax, but not if you've got a normal loan... not one of those fly-by-night deals. And, of course there's medical insurance.
The control of the insurance industry almost guarantees the left of some level of control over the public.

"Carbon-based energy is the fuel that propels freedom and prosperity"
Buck, I would argue that the least expensive energy is what propels freedom and prosperity.
I have no emotional commitment to petroleum energy, and if somebody came up with one that is better and cheaper...sign me up!
But chemistry and physics don't lie, and it is going to be very tough to create an energy source that is as dense as petroleum. I can drive my 5,000 pound SUV 500 miles on less than 20 gallons of gasoline.
Try that with unicorn farts!

Things are bleeding because the massive government spending that underwrote Biden’s presidency is being taken down. We are headed into a recession no matter what Trump states. It’s going to be a bumpy ride until we transition back to a private economy that underwrites our economy.

These are the A holes that will decide that carbon is evil and people are carbon based, so we could do with quite a lot fewer of people. For the good of the stakeholders.

Nope; same response. They told me it was *my* state's law. If anybody else has done this from another state, please post and let us know if other states demand this, or if it's just Lousy-ana.

I am of the opinion that companies, like The Hartford, should be permitted to engage in viewpoint discrimination.
They should, however, be required to disclose this fact, prominently, on all public communications along with the fact that the specific viewpoints for which they discriminate are subject to change without prior notice. They should also be banned from doing business with any government funded entity as viewpoint discrimination violates the Constitution.

One of the main reasons that Democrats have been recently sidelined is that the electorate is experiencing crisis fatigue. The fearmongering from Democrats on COVID, Climate, and Russia has finally exhausted the voting public. The Democrats are finding out that cultivating a state of fear in the populace to attain and maintain power has its limitations. Over time people get tired of hearing the same old drumbeat. The narrative wears thin and people start to see through it.

Customers have firmly rejected "green energy" products, money to artificially prop up the industry has dried up, and the political winds have shifted.
But the industry will not go gently into that good night. They will fight to the last breath. It will be a battle.

That's right — while our kids were stuck in Zoom school, we’re supposed to believe that a bunch of their classmates were apparently running multimillion-dollar enterprises. Even better, these pint-sized entrepreneurs all used Social Security numbers that didn't match their names.

Murphy, 51, was caught “cuddling” with Courier Newsroom publisher Tara McGowan, 39, last Monday by the bar at the Red Hen, located just one mile north of Capitol Hill in the district’s Bloomingdale neighborhood, a source told The Post, sharing a photo of the pair’s romantic rendezvous.

After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.
The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.
In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department.
Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform.

BBC Live, 'Canada's next PM Carney vows to win trade war as Ontario plans electricity tariffs on US'
"25% surcharge on electricity exports to three US states: Michigan, New York and Minnesota, and would consider completely cutting those states off from Canadian power if the US tariffs were escalated."
Those residents' electric bills could rise $400 a month.
Not beyond cutting off electricity exports if need be.
All the states down I-95 could feel it.

106 Here's the shocking truth: During 2020-2021, the Small Business Administration handed out 5,593 loans totaling $312 million to "business owners" who were 11 years old or younger. That's right — while our kids were stuck in Zoom school, we’re supposed to believe that a bunch of their classmates were apparently running multimillion-dollar enterprises. Even better, these pint-sized entrepreneurs all used Social Security numbers that didn't match their names.

Mr.Jen and I met with our financial advisor last fall prior to Trumps election. His group predicted Trump would win, his policies would take effect and the first two quarters of 2025 would be “volatile “ advised us to just breathe, not become entangled in the day to day of the market and stay the course. This is going as expected. What is surprising is the amount of fraud being uncovered and the stubbornness of assholes like Massie.

Compare your Vanguard account to monetary growth in the US over that time. You will find that the large deficits we have ran financed by below market interest rates on T bills by the Fed has been a massive steroid to the stock market prices.
At a certain point, it all unravels as that stimulus of government deficits comes to an end. Controlled with Trump, otherwise you get rapid disassembly of the economy thanks to loss of reserve currency status and a fed government forced to immediately amputate most spending immediately.
Trump and DOGE are trying to do field surgery to stabilize the US economy before the patient (US economy) crashes. Will have some weird effects but our only option is to reduce spending massively and ramp up GDP growth in the private economy to outrun the tsunami of government debt. The economy has to grow faster than the debt does to stabilize our debt to GDP ratio.
Something similar was done after WWII as that war left a lot of debt so you had shallow recessions and some inflation due to the fedgov fiscal and monetary actions.

I think some of my 401k investments are in Vanguard products, I may have to shuffle some stuff around
Sadly, my company decided that Vanguard should be our 401k company. They also limited our investment options (for our safety) to pretty much just Vanguard stuff.

>>> 132 106 Here's the shocking truth: During 2020-2021, the Small Business Administration handed out 5,593 loans totaling $312 million to "business owners" who were 11 years old or younger. That's right — while our kids were stuck in Zoom school, we’re supposed to believe that a bunch of their classmates were apparently running multimillion-dollar enterprises. Even better, these pint-sized entrepreneurs all used Social Security numbers that didn't match their names.

This is so weird to me, because the SBA does not lend directly and the process for getting my loan was PAINFUL. There is no way I could have faked any part of it. I am curious how this happened.

Not long ago we were talking about the possibility of feralgov workers living outside of dee cee and claiming to still be there in order to get the cost-of-living benefits. Washington Nearsider said that was very unlikely because it would require multiple levels of management to sign off on the claimed location. Guess what we found next.

In a couple of cities away from me there is an expressway being built. It was first proposed in the late 90s. Shovels didn’t go into the ground until 2023. It took all that time for permits to be approved. Including multiple lawsuits by enviro groups with appeals and appeals on appeals which each take several years to wind through the courts. And in the end the expressway that is finally getting built will be much shorter and narrower (fewer lanes) than what was planned.

It's hard to underestimate just how much insurance companies drive policy in this country. And how it's a weak point of the left.
Your average consumer just thinks it collects premiums and pays claims.
Few realize that is the front for massive investment houses--they barely break even on premiums, they make profits on the investments.
Which is why I think most Red State Republicans are full of shit when they talk about going after the left:
Every single insurance company has to be licensed in their state.
E.g.: They could end tranny surgeries tomorrow by changing acceptable policy provisions via the state's insurance commission.
No new laws, no lawsuits, none of that grandstanding BS.
But all the GOPe feast at the trough of insurance companies ....

I remember years ago a number bunch of mutual funds investing in "green only" -- and most recently"woke only" -- companies.
Investment advisors have a nice little tool on their management software that tells you the ESG scores of mutual funds.
Now, obviously they aren't intended to be used this way, but you can - by going down the list and finding funds with LOW ESG scores, remove your investments from the people who are loud and proud about hating you and wanting you dead or enslaved.
... which reminds me I need to check with mine on the list of potential new investments she was supposed to look up for me.

This can lead to extreme overcompensation or to collapse. But no matter how hard some people work to prove to themselves and others they're worth something, there's still that prime foundational message that they're worthless still screaming at them in their minds.

She's as non-viable as Biden was in 2020.
A horrible electoral history that indicated that he was dead on arrival, but able to just hold on because of sheer name recognition.
She's leading every Democrat primary poll (spit) by 30-40 points right now. That's Hillary 2016 territory (which almost didn't work because Hillary sucks and Kamala is even worse).
Essentially, Kamala is the frontrunner. Kamala could sleep for 4 years and probably remain the frontrunner. She will not sleep for 4 years, and she will probably end up tanking her own chances because she sucks.

Still reasonably cute but really only in that prime bitchy selfish way. I never understood what I found attractive about it but then I realized it's almost entirely about conquest. Like being the dude to remove Excalibur.
She probably shaved her head and became a leftist though so I prefer to think she grew up into a militant reich winger.

The Canadians tried to debunk the 225% tariffs list, saying they were negotiated as part of the USMCA and only apply once quotas is reached.
It turns out that the quotas are a minuscule proportion of Canadian demand.

A Virginia high school sprinter suffered a concussion and potential skull fracture when her competitor smashed her in the back of her head with a relay baton during their race.
Brookville High School junior Kaelen Tucker was the second leg runner for the 4×200 meter relay at the VHSL Class 3 State Indoor Championships at Liberty University on Friday.
Tucker – who had earned silver in the girl’s 55m dash earlier in the meet – was attempting to cut into lane one during a battle for second place in the front pack as she was rounding turn four.

I couple weeks back I was doing some winter camping and ice fishing in the BWCA. I'm not sure which areas that are on the fringe of the BWCA get power from Canada. It's sparsely populated. I am guessing some of those areas like Grand Portage or Grand Marais?
Posted by: Minnfidel

Last I checked years ago, a lot of that power exported comes from massive hydroelectric power plants in Quebec and some in Ontario---something like over 25 percent of the power is not needed in Canada and they really cannot export that power anywhere else. All they can do is shut down power plants which could and likely would destabilize their own grid.

He just critiques the Party's tactics from time to time. And the Party won't reward that with oxygen in a primary. He'd have to get it some other way and...he's a bad public speaker without a huge backer.

Wait until after the 2026 midterms to worry about who will be running on the Dem side. You will know soon enough as it takes about 18 months to set up a presidential campaign via fundraising, visits to key states, planting fluff pieces among the journalists, etc.
Depending on Trump's progress, 2028 GOP side has Vance as the heir apparent so Vance's fortunes are tied with Trump's. DeSantis as a darkhorse perhaps.

As many above noted, restaurants, retailers and indeed every business that serves the public can't refuse to serve someone because the business owner or CEO doesn't like a potential customer's beliefs.
....Anyone know what fed statute covers this? And if there IS one (instead of just case law), why is Hartford exempt from the requirement to serve anyone who wants to sign up?
....Of course Hartford could accomplish the same thing by quoting a premium four times the rest of the industry, so they can avoid a lawsuit by other means. But I'm just curious about the principle here.

It wasn't really the right doing that. It was that business corporate types moved left due to their miseducation at premier Ivy League colleges. Notice a lot of these true believers are white males using DEI, stakeholders, and other shit as a club to beat off challenges from others to teh CEO and board seats.
The Right has not run much of any institution since the 1950's even the GOP.

DECK CHAIRS REARRANGED: Top Washington Post columnist resigns, accusing publisher of killing piece.
A top political columnist for The Washington Post resigned today, accusing Post chief executive and publisher Will Lewis of killing her column that criticized owner Jeff Bezos’s drive to overhaul the opinion pages to focus on his libertarian priorities.
Post columnist and Associate Editor Ruth Marcus, who has worked at the paper for four decades, says she can no longer stay there.
“Jeff’s announcement that the opinion section will henceforth not publish views that deviate from the pillars of individual liberties and free markets threatens to break the trust of readers that columnists are writing what they believe, not what the owner has deemed acceptable,” Marcus wrote in a resignation letter obtained by NPR.

We had auto insurance with The Hartford. Last August we were rear-ended on I-20 (in Texas, no less). The Hartford did absolutely NOTHING to locate the owner of the uninsured vehicle (who apparently had loaned it to a couple of her friends). We had to replace our car.
So their reprehensible customer service is just another reason to dump them, in addition to their reprehensible politics. And we did. Fuck The Hartford.

Hindustan Times, March 10, 2025, 'Zelensky To Make This Ceasefire Offer To US At Saudi Talks; Will Trump And Putin Accept? Details'
Zelensky is under mounting pressure as Trump’s military aid freeze forces Ukraine into a desperate peace offer. Reports claim Kyiv is set to propose a partial ceasefire with Russia at high-stakes U.S. talks in Saudi Arabia. Trump has demanded a ‘real’ peace plan before resuming support—has Zelensky finally caved? Will this ceasefire change the course of the war?

414 Walsh's breakdown came in the Iowa Caucuses, 2016. He decided that he would be a great candidate, put his name up, went down there and made a speech - and was completely broken when he got booed off the stage by the delegates.
He has hated MAGA votes with a passion ever since that moment.

Thanks for the laughs. I never knew that particular spicy story. May his butthurt last long and be as wide as the crack in his facade.

He's the only non-Muslim leader trying to stop Big Gay.

I'm not sure what they have left besides stupid psy ops.
The real Joe Walsh had dementia, leftism, or was it both, I can't remember.

I mean, "Fauxcahontas" is a lot more apropos, since she's faking it, anyway.

My guess is Ukrainian hacker groups. Z man is not happy with Musk and Trump.
Posted by: whig
If so, then Musk should tell Zelensky privately to have it stopped or Star Link will be cut off.
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoith at March 10, 2025 11:19 AM (VofaG)
No, Musk should tell Z to knock it off or he won't turn Star Link back on.

the EU is trying to set up a European army through money printing, which will be difficult since they really don't have much left to work with. I have heard speculations that the actual goal is to collapse the EU economics to hide the sovereign default, and bring in a single EU central bank and currency.
I have also heard speculation that a true European army will last about as long as it takes for the German and Polish contingents to start arguing over where to put the fork in place settings, and escalate from there into open warfare.

415 Somebody should get to the real source of funding for The Bulwark ...and the infamous Institute for the Study of War...
Posted by: runner
DataRepublican did that. Basically, at least for the Bulwark, Krystol got AID money laundered through several foundations including the Rockefeller Foundation.
think the Institute of War had direct contracts with the State Dept and DoD under Dem administrations probably coupled with under the table subsidies from AID and CIA. Not surprising as Robert Kagan is the husband of former Asst Sec of State and PITA Victoria Nuland. ISW is a family grifting affair anchored by Victoria's official duties/contacts with the Color Revolution assholes.

> not publish views that deviate from the pillars of individual liberties and free markets
What's truly amazing is that she seems to take as a given that those are BAD things.
Yet more evidence for the claim that Marxism is an evil cult religion, not a political or economic philosophy.

It would be really horrible if electric companies that provide services based on carbon based technology could stop providing their services to the corporate infrastructure of companies doing this kind of discrimination. Let them use their own green solutions to run their businesses.

My portfolio, it bleeds
Posted by: The Unvaxed and Unmasked Ranger
No doubt I've left money on the table but I buy companies I believe to be fundamentally strong and whose goods/services are likely to be needed/wanted in the future and then I hold them.
This allows me to ignore the day-to-day fluctuations in the market, particularly when it's likely to be manipulated by nefarious forces to promote angst amongst the populace.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at March 10, 2025 11:20 AM (ExV1e)
The people screaming about the sky falling (i.e., recession) had nothing to say about high inflation (food costs have doubled in 4 years), a sluggish economy, war (Ukraine) and a military debacle (abandoning billions of dollars worth of weapons in Afghanistan), and all the other wonders of a "Biden" administration. It's all bull$h!t designed to drive you crazy.
