https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/unemployment-claims-jump-highest-level-since-2017-labor-market-seasonal-2019-12-1028759209

The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits jumped by the most in two years last week, but the sharp increase likely reflected seasonal volatility.

The Labor Department said Thursday that initial jobless claims rose 49,000 to a seasonally adjusted 252,000 in the week that ended December 7. That was the highest level since September 2017 and compared with forecasts for 212,000 claims.

The rise was likely driven by the Thanksgiving holiday, which could have interfered with government estimates. In the previous week, jobless claims dropped to a seven-month low. The less volatile four-week moving average rose by 6,250 to 224,000 in early December.

"Claims are likely to remain erratic over the holiday," said Ian Shepherdson, the chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. "It's hard to enough to adjust monthly data, but weekly data around holidays which fall on different days of the week each year are impossible to adjust reliably."

More comprehensive measures have pointed to a solid labor market in recent weeks. In November, the economy added a robust 266,000 nonfarm payrolls and the unemployment rate fell to its lowest point in half a century.

Democrats, White House announce NAFTA rewrite, giving Trump a win amid impeachment scandal

https://bit.ly/36mQBci

Congress on Tuesday reached an agreement with the White House on a rewrite of a 25-year-old trade pact with Mexico and Canada, offering President Donald Trump and moderate Democrats a legislative win against the backdrop of a high-profile impeachment scandal.

The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement - or USMCA - was announced by the North American neighbors in late 2018, but the terms of it have been under negotiation on multiple fronts since then. The breakthrough this week came after US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Democrats were able to compromise on labor and pharmaceutical provisions.

"It is infinitely better than what was initially proposed by the administration," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference announcing Democratic support for the deal.

Trump made a pledge to scrap the North American Free Trade Agreement a center of his campaign in 2016, calling it the "worst trade deal ever made." He seized on the announcement early Tuesday, which came just an hour after House Democrats said they would move ahead with two articles of impeachment against him including abuse of his power in office and obstruction of Congress.

"America's great USMCA Trade Bill is looking good," the president wrote on Twitter. "It will be the best and most important trade deal ever made by the USA. Good for everybody - Farmers, Manufacturers, Energy, Unions - tremendous support. Importantly, we will finally end our Country's worst Trade Deal, NAFTA!"

The International Trade Commission concluded in an April report that the original USMCA would have a modest but positive effect on the US economy, mostly because it would reduce uncertainty for businesses and investors.

...blast scheme to 'solicit foreign interference' in 2020 race

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-intel-committee-releases-impeachment-report


The Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee released a scathing report Tuesday on the findings from its impeachment inquiry, accusing President Trump of misusing his office to seek foreign help in the 2020 presidential race.

The 300-page report comes hours before the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to begin taking up the case with its first formal impeachment hearing Wednesday morning. The report is expected to be transmitted to that committee following an evening vote and would form the basis for any impeachment articles.

"President Trumps scheme subverted U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine and undermined our national security in favor of two politically motivated investigations that would help his presidential reelection campaign," the report said.

It said the inquiry "uncovered a months-long effort by President Trump to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election."

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham swiftly hit back in a statement slamming the nature of the Intelligence Committee's inquiry and claiming it failed to prove any wrongdoing on Trump's part.

At the end of a one-sided sham process, Chairman Schiff and the Democrats utterly failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by President Trump, Grisham said. "This report reflects nothing more than their frustrations. Chairman Schiffs report reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger straining to prove something when there is evidence of nothing.

The Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., conducted extensive interviews with witnesses connected to the Trump administrations relationship with Ukraine, after an anonymous whistleblower filed a complaint alleging that during a July 25 phone call, Trump tried to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to help Rudy Giuliani investigate Democratic activities in 2016 as well as former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Schiffs committee held closed-door sessions before opening up the inquiry to public hearings, which featured testimony from witnesses including National Security Council official Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, U.S. Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland, and former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.

The report concluded that Trump withheld nearly $391 million in military aid from Ukraine, conditioning its delivery as well as a White House visit with Zelensky on a public announcement that Zelensky was conducting the investigations. It also accuses Trump of obstruction for instructing witnesses not to comply with congressional subpoenas.

The report also alleges that Trump intimidated witnesses through statements he made about Yovanovitch, Vindman, Charg dAffaires for U.S. Embassy in Kiev William Taylor, and Jennifer Williams, special adviser for Europe and Russia in the Office of the Vice President.

Trump has denied wrongdoing and said his call with Zelensky was perfect, while maintaining there was no such quid pro quo tying aid to investigations. One key witness, E.U. Ambassador Gordon Sondland, alleged a clear quid pro quo involving a White House meeting and a "potential quid pro quo" involving the aid -- but also acknowledged he never heard those conditions from Trump directly.

Zelensky has also denied there was any pressure put on him or any talk of a quid pro quo between the two leaders, but he did recently criticize the decision to delay the aid.

...inquiry

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/02/politics/house-republican-response-impeachment-inquiry/index.html


Republicans have given a full-throated defense of President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine in a report published Monday that rejects the Democratic allegations that the President abused his office or committed any other impeachable offense.

House Republicans prepared the 123-page report defending the President ahead of the release of a Democratic committee report that's expected to lay out charges likely to form the basis for potential articles of impeachment.

"The evidence presented does not prove any of these Democrat allegations and none of the Democrats' witnesses testified to having evidence of bribery, extortion, or any high crime or misdemeanor," according to a copy of the report reviewed by CNN.

The Republican report does not acknowledge any wrongdoing surrounding the central allegations in the impeachment inquiry, putting forward a narrative that's likely to be used by congressional Republicans and the White House in their fight against the Democratic impeachment push. The report largely ignores or downplays testimony from career officials who raised serious questions and concerns about the conduct of the President and some of his top aides.

The Republicans argue that Trump's concerns about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter were valid, that Trump withheld a meeting and US security aid as he sought proof that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was a "true reformer," and there was no quid pro quo as Trump did not pressure Zelensky on the July call between the two Presidents, despite Trump asking for a favor.

"The President's initial hesitation to meet with President Zelensky or to provide U.S. taxpayer-funded security assistance to Ukraine without thoughtful review is entirely prudent," the Republicans wrote. "Ultimately, President Zelensky took decisive action demonstrating his commitment to promoting reform ... President Trump then released security assistance to Ukraine and met with President Zelensky in September 2019 all without Ukraine taking any action to investigate President Trump's political rival."

The Democratic report, which will be voted on Tuesday, is all but sure to have a conclusion 180-degrees apart from their Republican counterparts.

President Donald Trumps intervention in the case of a Navy SEAL is raising questions about the presidents role in military justice.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper says Trump ordered him to stop a disciplinary review for Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher. He was acquitted of murder in the stabbing death of a captive in Iraq but convicted of posing with the corpse.

Trump previously restored Gallaghers rank, which had been reduced in his military jury conviction.

Democratic Sen. Jack Reed says Trumps involvement in the military justice system is inappropriate. Retired Navy Adm. James Stavridis tells The Associated Press he worries about a chilling effect on special forces willingness to report illegal behavior.

TopicGoogle has changed its political ad policies
Crystal_pony
11/22/19 2:22:58 PM

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/22/tech/google-facebook-political-ad-targeting/index.html


In announcing new limits on political advertising Wednesday, Google took aim at an issue that a growing cross-section of business leaders, government officials and researchers say is a threat to democracy.

The problem they've identified is the ability of political advertisers to finely target vulnerable groups of internet users with misinformation skewing their view of reality while the rest of us are none the wiser.

Google's changes seek to clamp down on that potential for abuse. Moving forward, Google said, political advertisers on its platform will be able to target their communications by age, gender and ZIP code but not by voter affiliation or by using information based on public voter records.

But the decision raises broad questions about what types of targeting are acceptable, what is beyond the pale and how bad actors could continue trying to game the system.

With traditional commercial advertising, marketers can't easily pick and choose who sees their ads. Of the many millions tuning into a nightly newscast, only a handful may be interested in buying a car yet to reach that group, a car maker must pay to show the ad to everybody. But on the internet, that same brand can make its ad budget go further by targeting only those it believes to be the likeliest buyers based on their income, interests or demographics. These insights are often collected from businesses that traffic in data, but can just as easily be gleaned by monitoring consumers' search histories, entertainment habits and other behaviors.

That capability is what has turned Google (GOOG) and Facebook (FB) into businesses accounting for as much as two-thirds of the online ad market. Digital ad spending is set to overtake the traditional ad business for the first time this year, according to research firm eMarketer.

But the same innovation that supports vast swaths of the digital economy, applied to politics, may now rank among the biggest dangers to a free society, experts increasingly warn.

"Microtargeted political ads fly below the radar," Ellen L. Weintraub, chair of the Federal Election Commission, told CNN. "Political disinformation and lies flourish and transparency and accountability suffer when an advertiser can whisper a million different political messages into a million individual ears."

In a blog post Wednesday, Google said it has never allowed political advertisers to engage in "granular" targeting in the way that direct mail campaigns have for years, slicing and dicing Americans by neighborhood, income and household size. Google's latest changes make its political ad targeting options even less specific.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/21/politics/senate-government-shutdown-deadline/index.html


President Donald Trump signed a short-term funding bill on Thursday to avert a government shutdown hours before funding for the federal government would have run out, according to a White House official.

The move allows lawmakers and Trump to work for another month to come up with a deal on funding the government. The deadline to avoid another government shutdown is now December 20.

Earlier on Thursday, the Senate passed the short-term funding bill by a vote of 74-20. The House had passed the bill earlier in the week.

As of Wednesday night, Senate Republican leaders were still working to relieve objections on their side of the aisle to components of the month-long continuing resolution to keep the government operating past the deadline when funding expires.

The holdup forced Senate leadership to abandon efforts to have a vote on the bill late Wednesday, according to a Senate Democratic leadership aide. An agreement to hold a vote on Thursday was later reached.

"Nothing is easy," Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the GOP Whip said on Wednesday, before adding that he was hopeful concerns about the bill would resolve as the deadline approaches Thursday and the threat of a shutdown becomes more real.

The push to keep the government funded comes as the House is in the midst of contentious and high-profile public impeachment inquiry hearings as part of an investigation into Trump by House Democrats that has led to an escalation of partisan tensions on Capitol Hill.

Against the backdrop of the impeachment inquiry, lawmakers have not yet reached bipartisan agreement on the 12 regular annual appropriations bills needed to fund the government. The passage of another stop-gap measure will allow for more time to negotiate.

Congress already passed a short-term funding extension earlier in the year -- at the end of September -- that set up the impending funding deadline this week.


Why haven't that made a long term resolution?

Also surprised Trump didn't veto this just to get the dems to stop the impeachment.

Nancy Pelosi just stated that it is dangerous to let the voters decide Trumps fate. @FoxNews In other words, she thinks Im going to win and doesnt want to take a chance on letting the voters decide. Like Al Green, she wants to change our voting system. Wow, shes CRAZY! tweeted Donald Trump Tuesday.

Well, not exactly. Trumps tweet quotes a Fox News reporter summarizing Pelosis position, not the speakers statement verbatim. Left-wing Twitterverse, of course, was immediately able to jump all over the presidents clumsy wording and act as if the substance of his contention was wholly untrue. It wasnt.

In her Dear Colleague letter pushing back against Republican anti-impeachment talking points, Nancy Pelosi wrote this: The weak response to these hearings has been, Let the election decide. That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because the President is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections. Is he?

If a Republican had suggested that a presidential election was a dangerous notion, he would have triggered around-the-clock panic-stricken coverage on CNN and a series of deep dives in The Atlantic lamenting the conservative turn against our sacred democratic ideals.

What Pelosi has done is even more cynical. Shes arguing that if Democrats fail in their efforts to impeach Trump and, I assume, remove him from office then the very legitimacy of the 2020 election will be in question before any votes are cast.

Though most liberals have long declared the 2016 contest contaminated, as far as we know, absolutely nothing not even the most successful foreign efforts in interference or meddling damaged the integrity of the election results. Notwithstanding the belief of over 60 percent of Democrats, precipitated by breathless and often misleading media coverage, not one vote was altered by Putin, nor was a single persons free will purloined by a Russian Twitter bot or Facebook ad.

And, contra Pelosis implication, whatever you make of Trumps request from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Bidens shady son, not one voter will be restricted from casting a ballot for whomever they please in 2020. In truth, voters will know more about the inner workings of Trumps presidency than they have about any other administration in memory. Maybe they care, maybe they dont, but thats not up to Pelosi.

Rather than safeguarding the integrity of our elections, Democrats have corroded trust in them. Post-2016 calls for increased control over speech on the Internet, for instance, pose a far greater danger to American freedoms than anything our enemies at the Kremlin could cook up. And if the contention is that the only truly legitimate election is one that is free of any attempts to mislead voters, as seems to be the case, then we might as well close up shop. Because the presence of unregulated political rhetoric is a feature of a free and open society. We will never be able to, nor should we aspire to, limit discourse.

It shouldnt be forgotten, either, that this habit of injecting doubt into the electoral process is nothing new. For the past 20 years (at least), Democrats have shown a destructive inability to accept the fact that a bunch of voters simply disagree with them. If its not dark money boring into their souls, its gerrymandering, special interests, confusing ballots, voter suppression, crafty Ruskies or the Electoral College. Democrats cant lose on the merits. Someone, somewhere, has fooled the Proles into making bad decisions.

The House of Representatives is expected to vote on Tuesday to approve a short-term funding bill in an effort to avert a government shutdown before funds expire later in the week.

The push to keep the government funded comes as the House is in the midst of contentious and high-profile public impeachment inquiry hearings as part of an investigation into President Donald Trump by House Democrats that has led to an escalation of partisan tensions on Capitol Hill.

The stop-gap legislation, known as a continuing resolution, that the House is set to vote on will extend funding through December 20, setting up another spending deadline on the eve of the winter holidays. The current deadline for funding is Thursday, November 21

The expectation is that if the House and Senate both pass a funding bill, the President will sign it.

"With a government shutdown deadline just days away, this continuing resolution is necessary to keep government open as we work towards completing the appropriations process," House Appropriations Chairwoman Nita Lowey, a New York Democrat, said in a statement.

Lawmakers have not yet been able to reach bipartisan agreement on the twelve regular annual appropriations bills needed to fund the government, but the passage of another stop-gap measure will allow for more time to negotiate. Congress already passed a short-term funding extension earlier in the year -- at the end of September -- that set up the impending funding deadline this week.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced on Monday that the House would vote on the funding bill on Tuesday.

"We must use this additional time to fully fund the government before the end of the year," he said.

Dr. Sean P. Conley, physician to the president, used a memo released by the White House late Monday night to refute speculation that Trump had suffered from chest pain or another serious issue that led him to suddenly depart the White House by motorcade on Saturday afternoon.

Conley wrote in the memo to the press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, that Trump was not treated for any urgent issues. He said Trump's visit to the medical center was for a regular check-up and that scheduling uncertainties kept the visit off the record.

Trump did not undergo any specialized neurologic or cardiac evaluations, Conley wrote. He said he would continue to check in on the president, including a more comprehensive examination after the New Year.

Primary preventative medical care is something occurs continuously throughout the year," Conley wrote, "it is not just a single annual event

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/17/democrats-listen-obama/

The New York Times reports former president Barack Obamas remarks at a gathering of liberal donors:

While Mr. Obama did not single out any specific primary candidate or policy proposal, he cautioned that the universe of voters that could support a Democratic candidate Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans are not driven by the same views reflected on certain left-leaning Twitter feeds or the activist wing of our party.

Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision we also have to be rooted in reality, Mr. Obama said. The average American doesnt think we have to completely tear down the system and remake it.


Obama did not need to specify a candidate. The Democratic primary has been convulsed as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) rolled out a gargantuan Medicare-for-all plan funded by massive new taxes, premised on the destruction of the private health insurance industry and major changes in the way providers are paid, and that rolls in comprehensive immigration reform. While Obamas warning might apply equally to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and to ideas such as decriminalizing illegal border crossings, his admonition certainly has most immediate application to Warren, who has risen to the top of the polls in part by emphasizing bold transformation in almost every area of policy.

Obamas warning is buttressed by recent swing-state polling showing winnable voters are wary of abolishing private health care or legalizing undocumented immigrants trips across the border. The Blue Wall Voices Project found that in four key Midwest states, Majorities of [swing] voters view a ban on fracking (54%), a national Medicare-for-all plan (62%), and stopping border detainments of people coming into the country illegally (71%) as bad ideas. In the same study, self-described Democrats show higher levels of support for these policies.

US President Donald Trump has said he is in "very good" health after completing "phase one" of his annual physical examination.

The White House confirmed he underwent an exam and some laboratory tests on Saturday at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington.

The visit was not in the president's public schedule, and no details of the tests have been released.

It comes 10 months after an annual exam found him "in very good health".

In a statement, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said the latest tests were prompted by a "free weekend" in the president's diary, and that Mr Trump remained healthy and energetic without complaints.

"Further speculation beyond the extensive and honest info I put out is wholly irresponsible and dangerous for the country," she added in a tweet.



People don't randomly see doctors for physical exams... hmmmm

MSNBC analyst Claire McCaskill said President Trump used "his fat thumbs" to try to intimidate former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch in real time on Twitter during an analysis of the impeachment hearings Friday afternoon.

The comments came as Yovanovitch testified Friday that she felt threatened when she learned President Trump had brought up her service in Ukraine on a July call with the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"I was shocked and devastated," she told the House Intelligence Committee. "It was a terrible moment."

"The president is not staying in the shadows for this bad act, but rather he's out there today with his fat thumbs tweeting to try to intimidate her real time," McCaskill told host Nicolle Wallace.

"I'm so proud of her," the former Missouri Democratic senator continued. "And every woman in America who has fought in a male-dominated career should cheer for this woman today; her guts, her accomplishments and the fact that she's the one that stood in their way."


Good she's still staying semi-relevant.

It seemed like the moment Paul Jamushian had been waiting for his whole life.

On Oct. 29, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 405 to 11 in favor of a resolution to recognize the killing of 1.5 million Armenians more than a century ago as a genocide. Quick approval by the Senate appeared possible.

But the 80-year-old Jamushian, whose parents survived the slaughter by Ottoman Turks, will have to keep waiting.

Politics had once again intervened this time the incursion by Turkey into northeastern Syria last month and a White House visit Wednesday by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

I feel like I got played, said Jamushian, who lives in Fresno. It makes me angry.

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), who has coauthored resolutions to recognize the Armenian genocide since 2006, requested the unanimous consent of the Senate on Wednesday to pass the latest attempt.

The United States Congress cannot stand idly by and let the truth of genocide be silenced, he told fellow senators. We must commit ourselves to learning the painful history of the Armenians as we seek to build a better world for our own and future generations.

Thats when Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who had joined Erdogans meeting with President Trump, objected and blocked the request, arguing that senators shouldnt sugarcoat history or try to rewrite it.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, is to blame for Thursday's school shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, Calif. after he stalled federal legislation that could have prevented the tragedy, claimed Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y.

"What I hear from parents is they're mad as hell and they are frustrated that the people in [D.C.] aren't doing anything. And I want parents to know I hear that," Maloney told MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."

"Youre right to point out that 100 feet that way [from where I'm standing] is the House Chamber where multiple important pieces of gun safety legislation have been passed," Maloney went on. "A couple hundred feet that way is the Senate Majority Leader's office where he has bragged about being the 'Grim Reaper' and killing all of those bills, without putting them on the floor, without coming up with his own version."

It just sickens me that people continue to attack Gavi. Perhaps you would like to attack another person who's walked away from the site, maybe that will make you feel better too.
