Tenth Circuit Rules Web Designer Must Create Site For Same-Sex Marriage

There is a new ruling out of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit that could be headed for a major showdown in the Supreme Court. The decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis could force a hitherto evasive Court to rule directly on the conflict between anti-discrimination laws and the religious clauses. I have previously written that I view these controversies as best addressed as free speech rather than free exercise cases. The Tenth Circuit decision reaffirms a growing conflict among the circuits and offers an especially strong case for the Court to consider such a major reframing of such conflicts. ....

Texas Gov Orders National Guard to Arrest Illegal Migrants at the Southern Border

"Texas Governor Greg Abbott moved Wednesday to mitigate the chaos unfolding along the US-Mexico border; requesting the National Guard help arrest people caught illegally crossing into the United States.

“To respond to this disaster and secure the rule of law at our Southern border, more manpower is needed,” Abbott wrote in the letter. “DPS needs help in arresting those who are violating state law. … I hereby order that the Texas National Guard assist DPS in enforcing Texas law by arresting lawbreakers at the border.”

Republican senators investigate possible fraud in Biden administration’s contributions to Planned Parenthood

The ten Republican senators on the Senate Small Business Committee are demanding that the Biden administration clarify the loans it is making to the multinational abortion company Planned Parenthood (PP) in violation of the relevant regulations.

PP already receives grants of taxpayer money, but it also appears to have gone overboard by obtaining at least $80 million more from the Small Business Administration (SBA), intended exclusively for the nation’s small business owners, according to Townhall on July 22.

In this regard, the senators infer that this money would have been obtained fraudulently because it can only be granted to companies that hire up to 500 employees, but PP ties at least 16,000.

Fully vaccinated people have a 990% higher chance of death due to Covid-19 than people who are unvaccinated according to latest Public Health England data

Many members of the British public have been crying into their pillows this week as the prime minister Boris Johnson announced social distancing and mask wearing will end July 19th 2021, despite a surge in alleged cases of the Delta Covid variant.

A variant which the very people campaigning for restrictions to continue are fearful of, and they’re right to be… if they are fully vaccinated.

Because the latest report from Public Health England has revealed that those who have had two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine have a 990% higher chance of dying of Covid-19 than those who are unvaccinated.

Blinken says Iran negotiating process cannot go on indefinitely

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday the negotiating process with Iran to revive a 2015 nuclear deal could not go on indefinitely, and that the ball is in Tehran's court. Indirect talks between Tehran and Washington to revive the nuclear pact, from which then-President Donald Trump withdrew the United States in 2018, adjourned on June 20, two days after the hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi was elected president of the Islamic Republic. Raisi takes office on Aug. 5.

Parties involved in the negotiations, which also include China, Russia, France, Britain, Germany and the European Union, have yet to say when they might resume. "We are committed to diplomacy, but this process cannot go on indefinitely," said Blinken, addressing a news conference in Kuwait. "At some point the gains achieved by the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) cannot be fully recovered by a return to the JCPOA if Iran continues the activities that it's undertaken with regard to its nuclear program," he said. "We have clearly demonstrated our good faith and desire to return to mutual compliance with the nuclear agreement...The ball remains in Iran’s court and we will see if they're prepared to make the decisions necessary to come back into compliance." Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the last say on Iran's state matters, declared on Wednesday that Tehran would not accept Washington's "stubborn" demands in nuclear talks and again flatly rejected adding any other issues to the deal. Gulf Arab states have asked to be included in the negotiations, and for any deal to address what they call Iran's ballistic missile programme and destabilising behaviour in the region.

Blinken also said he had discussed during his visit to Kuwait, where he met with the ruling emir, the subject of relocating Afghan interpreters. Many Afghans who worked with NATO forces fear reprisals from Islamist Taliban insurgents as U.S. troops depart.

The United States uses several military bases in Kuwait, with which it has strong relations after leading a coalition that ended Iraq's 1990-91 occupation of the Gulf state.

Report Blames Credit Suisse's "Lackadaisical" Risk Management For Failing To Act On Archegos "Red Flags"

More than four months after the Archegos blowup rattled markets and dealt a serious black eye to Swiss megabank Credit Suisse, the law firm hired by the bank to investigate what went wrong has finally released a report on its findings.

Readers may remember that the half-dozen or so megabanks servicing Archegos apparently didn't realize until it was already too late that their prime brokerage divisions would likely be left on the hook for the fund's positions, as the entirety of the $20 billion in capital it had posted as collateral wouldn't even begin to cover the wicked margin call. Eventually, a plan to slowly unload the firm's positions quickly collapsed when Morgan Stanley and Goldman broke ranks, leaving Credit Suisse - the most exposed, and the slowest to sell - on the hook with more than $5 billion in losses.

Making matters worse (for Credit Suisse, at least), the Archegos blowup coincided almost perfectly with the collapse of Greensill, a trade-finance firm that packaged assets used to stock $10 billion in Credit Suisse "trade finance" funds, forcing the bank to gate the funds. Clients were so furious that CS has reportedly considered covering their losses as several major clients - including sovereign wealth funds - threatened to cut off all business ties with the Swiss megabank. Credit Suisse shares pulled back on Thursday after the firm confirmed the extent of the Archegos losses (though unsurprisingly its earnings report and presentation went to great lengths to obscure it). The bank's Q2 earnings report, also released Thursday morning, confirmed that it was indeed one of the worst quarters in the bank's 160-plus year history. The firm reported a nearly 80% drop in profits YoY, as it reckoned with the fallout from the twin scandals. CEO Thomas Gottstein, who held on to his job as a handful of senior executives were unceremoniously fired, pointed to the report, compiled by white-shoe law firm Paul Weiss, as evidence that CS was taking pains to learn from its mistakes.

While the report exposed incompetence in the firm's risk-management measures, it didn't find any evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

“We take these two events very seriously and we are determined to learn all the right lessons,” said Thomas Gottstein, Credit Suisse’s chief executive. “We have significantly reduced our risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure and improved the risk profile of our prime services business in the investment bank, as well as strengthened the overall risk capabilities across the bank.” The report mostly focused on the firm's failure to effectively manage risks in the prime brokerage unit, which is considered a relatively "safe" business line - until there's a blowup like this (the world saw a similar dynamic at play during JPM's "London Whale" trading fiasco). To remedy its mistakes, the firm said that after reviewing the roles played by 23 people, it had fired nine staffers, including the two heads of its prime services business, and imposed $70MM of monetary penalties on staff, including clawing back previously-paid bonuses. The cuts and clawbacks helped the bank reduce its operating expenses by a whopping 1%, it revealed.

As far as apportioning blame, the report didn't name any executives by name, though it did single out the head of equities trading and the risk managers responsible for monitoring the Archegos trades as the bank employees who were responsible for preventing the disaster. The report says they "failed to heed these signs, despite evidence that some individuals did raise concerns appropriately." More broadly, the entire prime brokerage business "had a lackadaisical attitude towards risk and risk discipline."

The 165-page report also showed that CS employees "shrugged off" Archegos founder Bill Hwang's checkered past, which included allegations of insider trading. The bank promised that this would be "a turning point" for its risk management. Because CS was worried about losing Archegos as a client, it ignored red flags. When risk managers requested that the fund post an additional $1 billion of collateral, relationship managers over at the prime brokerage desk said that "would be like asking them to move their business". "The Archegos matter directly calls into question the competence of the business and risk personnel who had all the information necessary to appreciate the magnitude and urgency of the Archegos risks, but failed at multiple junctures to take decisive and urgent action to address them," the report said. Some of the details confirmed in the report had already been reported by the press. For example, the report confirmed that Credit Suisse earned just $17MM in fees last year from its work with Archegos.

Inside Blizzard Developers’ Infamous Bill ‘Cosby Suite’

Booze, sexual remarks, and a giant portrait of Cosby are all at the center of Activision lawsuit

By Ethan Gach Yesterday { July 28 } 2:05 PM

{ excerpts }:

Former World of Warcraft developer Alex Afrasiabi and other current and former Blizzard developers

allegedly posing with a portrait of Bill Cosby at BlizzCon 2013.Screenshot: Kotaku

Since news broke last week of widespread allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination at Activision Blizzard

via a legal complaint from the state of California, many top male developers there, both current and former, have responded with shock and dismay.

But while many claim they weren’t aware of the problematic “frat boy culture” leading to accusations of sexual harassment and assault

at the hands of male Blizzard employees, comments and images shared on social media paint a different picture.

Based on photographs and screenshots of Facebook posts obtained by Kotaku, it’s clear that people beyond Alex Afrasiabi

—the man named in the lawsuit, and a long-time World of Warcraft developer

—were aware of the “Cosby Suite” mentioned in the lawsuit.

That was apparently a nickname for Afrasiabi’s BlizzCon 2013 hotel room, and seemingly a reference to the name of previously convicted rapist Bill Cosby.

Solidarity and tension on display during employee walkout at Blizzard HQ

July 28, 2021 | By Bryant Francis

Today Activision Blizzard employees gathered in front of Blizzard Entertainment’s headquarters in Irvine, CA.

The gathered employees had returned to their offices not to resume work after the pandemic,

but to protest the company’s response to a lawsuit filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.

Dozens of employees gathered alongside Blizzard’s gates, voicing anger at the company’s dismissal last week

that the State of California’s lawsuit was “meritless.”

Ubisoft staff back Activision Blizzard protests, decry 'ingrained culture of abusive behavior'

July 29, 2021 | By Chris Kerr

Ubisoft employees have voiced their support for protesting Activision Blizzard developers and called for more accountability

and action to combat "a widespread and deeply ingrained culture of abusive behavior" within the games industry.

As reported by Axios, almost 500 current and former Ubisoft workers signed a letter criticizing the Assassin's Creed publisher,

Activision Blizzard, and other industry-leading companies for allowing toxicity to take root and flourish through seemingly

willful inaction.

The letter was released as Activision Blizzard employees staged a walkout at Blizzard Entertainment's headquarters in Irvine, CA,

to voice their anger at the company's dismissive response to a lawsuit filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.

Yields Rocked By Surprise Apple Bond Issuance

Last Friday, JPM's Nick Panigirtzoglou asked a question: just how illiquid is the Treasury market - still viewed by many as deepest, most liquid market on the planet - and whether the recent rollercoaster in bond yields was first and foremost a function of growing Treasury lack of liquidity (spoiler alert: a lot).

Fast forward to today when we got the latest stark example of this illiquidity, when in the unofficial launch to buyback season, shortly after the disappointing GDP report which sent yields sliding, Apple announced a four-part, back-end loaded debt issuance offering of paper due 2028, 2031, 2051, and 2061 which clearly took the bond market by surprise today, with the result a sharp re-steepening of the Treasury curve and 10Y yield spiking by 2bps to session highs.

Bloomberg confirms that this move was largely rate-locks (i.e., buyers hedging rate exposure) with payers at the back-end of the curve in the U.S. swaps market in London linked to the slog of corporate issuance.

How big is the offering? Therein lies the rub: according to Bloomberg's Alyce Anders, market chatter is that the Apple deal could be in the $6 billion to $8 billion range. In other words, as little as $8 billion in offsetting TSY hedging (i.e., shorting) can move the most liquid benchmark paper by 2bps. This is a striking collapse in liquidity in a market that clearly can barely absorb any volume without moving the entire market!

Some statistics: the last time Apple issued a benchmark deal was Feb. 1, 2021 with a $14 billion six-part offering, the technology behemoth’s largest bond offering since it brought $17 billion in 2013. The February order book peaked at $33.7 billion, 2.4 times the deal size. In any case, with a TSY market this illiquid, and only set to get worse as traders hit the beach, beware any sudden reversals should the market be hit with any unexpected developments which see a sharp move in yields. And speaking of buybacks which the proceeds from Apple's bond offering will most likely be used for, earlier this week BofA noted that while corporate client buybacks have picked up over the last three weeks amid the start of earnings season, buybacks this year still haven’t returned to ‘normal’ (preCOVID run-rate):

*Despite a strong start in 1Q21 (4Q20 earnings season) as many corporates reinitiated buybacks, the pace slowed last quarter in 2Q (1Q results season), with buybacks ~50% below 2Q19 levels and nearly 70% below those levels when normalized by S&P 500 market cap (cover chart). Companies doing the largest buyback programs have recently been outperforming, perhaps amid greater scarcity vs. the pre-COVID years when buybacks largely underperformed.

*Three sectors have dominated buyback activity this year: Tech, Financials and Consumer Discretionary. But Discretionary is the only one of the 11 sectors where buybacks have eclipsed 2Q19 levels.

And now that Apple has given the all clear, expect the next push higher in stocks to come not from retail investors but from companies themselves.

Robinhood stock jeered in its public debut

Stock opened flat with the IPO price, then dropped below it.

Robinhood Markets Inc., which has disrupted Wall Street with its no-fee trading app, was jeered in its public debut on Thursday, as the stock quickly fell below its reference price.

The highly anticipated initial public offering priced overnight at $38 a share, at the bottom of the expected pricing range of between $38 and $42 a share. Robinhood raised a net $1.89 billion in the IPO, after underwriting discounts and commissions. The initial indication of where the stock might open was at $42.00, 10.5% above the IPO price, but expectations declined steadily as time went on.

The stock’s first trade was at $38.00 at 12:24 p.m. Eastern for 11.4 million shares, or flat with the IPO price.

It received a quick initial boost, rising to an intraday high of $40.25, before investors backed off. The stock was recently trading at $34.56, or 9.0% below the IPO price.

With a total of about 835.7 million shares outstanding after the IPO, the company was currently being valued at just below $29 billion, compared with expectations of up to $35 billion when IPO terms were first set.

The disappointing debut comes on a day in which the Renaissance IPO exchange-traded fund IPO, 0.11% edged up 0.2% in afternoon trading, while the S&P 500 index SPX, 0.56% gained 0.6% toward a record high.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/critical-race-theory-biden-administration-russ-vought-investigation

EXCLUSIVE: Russ Vought, a former top Trump administration official, on Wednesday demanded the Department of Education hand over documents that could show who was involved in promoting a radical critical race theory group in official government guidance.

Vought, who is the president of the Center for Renewing America (the advocacy arm of his conservative think tank) and the former chief of the Office of Management and Budget, filed a Freedom of Information Act request for a number of communications regarding the Abolitionist Teaching Network. The Department of Education included a link to a guide the radical group developed in a handbook intended to help public schools reopen and spend American Rescue Plan funding.

"The American people deserve to know who at the highest levels in the White House pushed this radical, racist group into reopening guidelines for our schools," Vought told Fox News in a statement.

"It's extremely troubling that Biden's Department of Education promotes a group that accuses children of 'spirit murdering' other children based on their skin color," Vought continued. "This Administration has made an Olympic sport out of State Sanctioned Racism and it's about time the curtain gets pulled back."

ANTI-CRITICAL RACE THEORY PARENT BLASTS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR PROMOTING ABOLITIONIST TEACHING NETWORK

The Abolitionist Teaching Network's materials, including the guide the Department of Education linked to, incorporates language associated with critical race theory, Fox News previously reported.

"Abolitionist Teachers" should "[b]uild a school culture that engages in healing and advocacy. This requires a commitment to learning from students, families, and educators who disrupt Whiteness and other forms of oppression," the guide states, for example. It also discusses the "spirit murder" of people of color.

The group’s co-founder and board chair, Bettina Love, said during a webinar: "I want us to be feared."

After Fox News revealed the connection to the Abolitionist Teaching Network, a Department of Education spokesperson said "it was an error" to include the link.

But at least two top department officials have links to Love, Fox News previously reported.

The department’s second-in-command, Cindy Marten, hosted Love for a training seminar while the deputy secretary headed the San Diego Unified School District. The school system paid Love $11,000 for the gig, records show.

Marten wasn’t confirmed until after the handbook was published, though she was nominated months prior.

How bout those sealed indictments

TOP DEMOCRAT INDICTED: NM House Majority Leader Charged with Embezzlement — Total May Top $954,000

The New Mexico House Majority Leader is in serious trouble after being charged in a massive embezzlement scheme.

Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton may have embezzled upwards of $954,000 dollars in a racketeering, laundering and illegal kickbacks scheme.

The New Mexico Democrat was the eventual recipient of up to 60% of the government contracts with Robotics Management Learning Systems LCC, a D.C. based company.

KOB.com reported:

Law enforcement agents have executed search warrants at the home and business of state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton.

According to a filed warrant, she is under investigation for racketeering, money laundering and receiving illegal kickbacks.

In April, newly-appointed Albuquerque Public Schools Superintendent Scott Elder submitted a letter to the New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas referencing “Suspected Violations of Governmental Conduct Act and Procurement Code.”

According to the warrant, every invoice issued by Robotics to APS was for an even dollar amount, no cents, and in unchanging amounts over the years. Most were reportedly for $40,000. In all, APS paid Robotics more than $5.3 million.

Rep. Williams Stapleton is also directly involved with four companies that received payments from Robotics: The Charlie Morrisey Center for Creative Assitance Inc., the Ujima Foundation, S. Williams and Associates, and local restaurant A Taste of The Caribbean.

Evidence suggests that she was eventual recipient of 60% of the APS money — $954,386. Investigators are looking into additional payments that were redirected into her personal bank accounts.

State Democrats said they were “shocked and dismayed” with the allegations against their crooked cohort.

China could play a constructive role in Afghanistan if it helps secure a political settlement between Kabul and the Taliban, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.

Washington’s most senior diplomat remarked on Thursday that Beijing’s involvement in the war-torn country could be a “positive thing” if it helped to work towards a “peaceful resolution of the conflict.”

Taliban representatives traveled to China earlier this week to hold talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi about the political and military situation in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of US-led coalition troops from the country.

Beijing has signaled that it sees the Taliban as playing an important role in bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan. A spokesperson for the militant group said China was not interested in interfering with internal issues, but, instead, wanted to help restore peace in the country.

Commenting on the talks, Blinken insisted “no one” wanted to see a military takeover of the country by the Taliban, or the restoration of the group’s extremist Islamic emirate. He urged the Taliban to “peacefully” return to the negotiating table to bring an end to the nearly 20-year conflict that began with the US invasion of the Central Asian nation in October 2001.

China’s Foreign Ministry has stressed that it seeks to pursue a policy of “non-interference,” adding that the withdrawal of US-led forces from Afghanistan revealed Washington’s foreign policy “failure” in the country.

Afghanistan has seen a sharp uptick in violence since the US military’s exit from the country. The Taliban now claims it has gained control over a large portion of the country amid an aggressive military offensive that has seen numerous districts fall to the group.

Although the US is on track to complete its full withdrawal from the country by the end of August, the Pentagon has vowed it will continue to provide air support to Kabul as it battles the Taliban for territory.

Evergrande sued by China state-owned builder over $62m bill

China Evergrande Group has been sued by a state-owned construction company over nonpayment of 401 million yuan ($62 million), underscoring the liquidity crunch at the world's most indebted property developer.

Huaibei Mining Holdings, which is majority-owned by Anhui Province's state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, said on Thursday it had filed a lawsuit on July 26, claiming the outstanding bill and penalties from a unit of Evergrande. The companies entered into a construction contract in November 2018 and part of the bills were overdue despite reminders, Huaibei Mining said. Evergrande's unit Liuan Hengda Zhiye "refused to pay [the bills], citing they do not have the money," Huaibei Mining said in a statement filed with the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Evergrande's bill was the largest single uncollected account receivable last year for Huaibei Mining. The 401.26 million yuan claimed is about 12% of consolidated net profit for 2020. "This is a normal contract dispute and the company is currently taking legal action," said an Evergrande spokesperson late Thursday, without elaborating. The company abandoned plans on Tuesday to declare a special dividend after a backlash from investors and banks.

Evergrande, which has $301 billion in total liabilities as of the end of 2020, has been fending off concerns over its financial health since March last year. Worries about the fate of the company considered a bellwether for China's leveraged property sector have intensified this month after rating agencies cut their credit ratings, banks in Hong Kong and China clamped down, and a city in Hunan halted sales on projects. While Evergrande has not defaulted on any bonds, some of its units have missed payments on bills payable this year. The company had 158.8 billion yuan in cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2020, against 335.5 billion yuan of borrowing due over the following 12 months, according to its last annual report. It has met all bond repayments for the year but faces over $6 billion in offshore maturities in 2022, with most of it due in the first half.

While the company is asset-rich and can raise funds by listing units, selling stakes in subsidiaries such as property management and electric vehicles, and offloading land, its weak access to funding is leading to significant risks in its ability to "execute the debt reduction plan," S&P Global Ratings said on Monday as it cut its rating by two notches. "Evergrande's liquidity is fragile and heavily reliant on renewing short-term banking facilities and trust loans, continued access to trade payables and robust contracted sales to generate cash flow," Fitch Ratings said in a note after cutting its score to CCC+ from B-. Evergrande is closely tracked by regulators, investors and rating agencies concerned about the potential for contagion across China's $50 trillion financial system. Despite the group's claims to be making progress with debt reduction, outstanding liabilities grew last year, as a decrease in so-called interest-bearing liabilities such as bond and bank loans was more than offset by a rise in bills payable to suppliers.

Evergrande shares ended the morning session in Hong Kong 3.3% higher. Its shares touched a four-year low earlier this week and have slumped 41% so far this month. The company's bonds are trading at record low levels.
