\nThe first rule of redacting documents: Use scissors. Rule 1A: Failing that, use a black-ink marker heavy enough to actually cover up the redacted text. Andrew Gillum’s campaign didn’t pay attention to either rule and inadvertently exposed a $15,000 cash infusion just prior to a trip to Costa Rica that he took with a lobbyist, in records that were supposed to show that Gillum paid his own way.<\/p>\n
\nGavin Newsom wasn’t born rich, but he was born connected – and those alliances have paid handsome dividends throughout his career.<\/p>\n
\nIn August, during the last program we did for our VIP subscribers, the four of us ventured predictions for the 2018 elections. All four of agreed that the Democrats probably will win the House. John, Scott, and Steve agreed that the Republicans will retain control of the Senate. I said there is a substantial chance, approaching 50 percent, that the Democrats will capture the Senate too.<\/p>\n<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n

\nDespite the overall failure to achieve their stated goals, the now concluded Bangkok climate conference actually made some progress – they all agreed to jointly attack the USA for not providing all the climate cash and free technology transfers demanded by delegates.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n

\nSeptember 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day. I used to call the annual event “Invisible Suicide Prevention Day” because it is so often ignored in major media.<\/p>\n
\nThe Delaware primary results notwithstanding, the hard-left flank of the Democratic party has been on the march, successfully toppling several so-called centrists. This means that single-payer health care – popularized as “Medicare for All” by Senator Bernie Sanders – is going to become a major issue in the coming election.<\/p>\n

\nChina appears to be getting less bang for its R&D buck than other countries. Data on patent applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty show that for every $1 million in R&D expenditure, China generates 0.08 patent applications — that\u2019s less than half the OECD average, and below Japan, South Korea and Germany. Research by Bloomberg Economics suggests that\u2019s partly because a dominant state presence means that more efficient private-sector firms are crowded out, limiting potential for future growth.<\/p>\n
\nSeems like old times, or at least that’s how this will be seen in South America if true.

\nSo much for bombshells today. Not only did Cory Booker’s “Spartacus moment” fall flat, so did the one strategy that might actually have derailed Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. And in large part, both failed for the same reason – that legal analysis of a subject is not at all the same thing as expressing a policy choice.<\/p>\n
\nSen. Cory Booker called himself “Spartacus” Thursday morning during the Senate Judiciary hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh after releasing documents that were confidential to the committee and not intended for public release.<\/p>\n
\nTwitter announced Thursday that it “permanently suspended” Alex Jones and his show InfoWars from their platform, as well as Periscope.<\/p>\n
