MAY 2019

PAGE RIB

***** Illinois pot growers say that if more licenses aren’t issued to growers, there could be a shortage if recreational weed is legalized. Studies show that medical cannabis demand is under reported. ** Support Senate Bill 7 to legalize recreational marijuana. It is the early stages and has not yet been fleshed out but the bare bones of it passed the committee 12-4. Let’s go!

*****With the presentation of the Peabody award, Rita Moreno will become the third PEGOT winner on May 18. She will join Barbra Streisand and Mike Nichols on that list.

***** Harvard and Yale text book writing U.S. rep in California, Katie Porter is really shaking up the congressional hearings. Go Go Go!!

***** Could Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker have a way of keeping Trump off the ballot? Are the Dems getting as creative as the GOP? Illinois is looking into forcing candidates to show the last 10 years of their tax returns or their name will not appear on the ballot.

***** Michael Shannon and Audra McDonald are the newest to play Frankie and Johnny on Broadway.

***** Watching the clueless old white politicians on the Sunday morning shows (yea, you John Barraso) makes me a little queasy. ** And I get so tired of the talking heads speaking for the ‘middle of the country’. Most of the people I know care deeply about the Mueller report. Who the fuck are they talking about? Talk about special rules for our rich President as we remember Nixon and the Clintons. Why should Scary Clown 45 get such great treatment? I am always hearing about the ‘middle of the country’ worrying about feeding our families and fixing our cars and not knowing or caring about issues in Washington. It is true that so many are living the paycheck to paycheck dream and are burdened with health care and other emergencies they can’t afford but they pay attention to the political problems of this country too. Since citizens don’t have the time or the power or money to be in Washington, they rely on those they voted for to keep each other in line. Quit letting the shady shit go on. Have some backbone and do not let things slide. Simple rule: DO WHAT IS RIGHT.

***** Word is that Somebody paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees, $200,000 credit card debt and 1.2 mil mortage. Seems like someone might own him.

***** Maria Butina was sentenced to 18 months.

***** The Man in the High Castle will end after season 4.

***** I love the way Abigail Disney is standing up to CEO’s. The points she makes are ones that the corporation heads always hope you won’t think about. Shouldn’t employees be treated fairly? If a CEO is motivated by their own bonus they are far more likely to overlook things like environmental damage, human rights violations and worker’s rights. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz agrees.

***** When will the press (local and worldwide), give equal exposure to ALL candidates that run for office, especially President? We want to be informed. I do research but not everybody does and needs it to be easily accessible. Sometimes you have to spoon feed but why is it so hard to be fair? Enough with the agendas!!! There also needs to be more places to look for local issues. I hear so many citizens that tell me they don’t know what will be on the ballot. The info can be hard to find but USA Facts helps. Check it out!

***** Four days after confirmation, secretary of interior, David Bernhardt is under investigation for ethical misconduct.

***** Rod Rosenstein is out! His good bye included praise for the Pres and thanking him for all the personal conversations!! What He is the Deputy AG. What??

***** Jordan Klepper did a great gag on comedy central with the Clintons about Hil doing the audio book of the Mueller report. Yes!!

***** The Trumps are suing Deutsche bank and Capital One so they won’t turn over financial records to congress. Aren’t these actions obstruction of congress?

***** Indivisible is getting voters and candidates to sign a pledge to make the primary constructive and support the ultimate democratic winner.

***** Thank you to Tricia Newbold who is the WH whistle blower who let us know about Trump overriding security clearances. Rumor is that to punish her they took advantage of her physical limitations and purposely put files high and out of her reach. Wow! That is right out of high school.

***** Julian Assange was taken into custody and it seems he has turned into some sort of odd Howard Hughes character.

***** Hollywood is putting on a fundraiser for Mayor Pete. The event will be co-hosted by Ryan Murphy and hubby David Miller, Matt Bomer, Jess Cagle and hubby Matt Whitney and Billy Eichner among others. Murphy also hosted Kamala Harris on April 12. Some of Pete’s major donors have been Ryan Reynolds, Jane Lynch, Mandy Moore, Bradley Whitford and James Murdoch.

***** The Webby awards have been announced. Some winners are Billy on the Street, James Corden, Schitt’s Creek, Pod Save the People and Jimmy Kimmel’s mean tweets. Best music video went to Donald Glover for This is America and The Daily won for its onald J. Trump presidential twitter library.

***** Better Call Saul will call it quits after season 6.

***** Charlize Theron and Seth Rogan star in Long Shot, a political rom com out May 3.

*****& Sara Gilbert joins season 3 of Atypical!!!!!

***** Mushroom season is here and it looks like our friend Kavin is sure bringing ‘em home.

***** The shower toga looks like a great get for the festival scene.

***** Barry has been picked up for season 3. Hell yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

***** The state of Georgia wants to make any embryo a fully legalized citizen. An embryo would count on taxes and be able to receive child support.

***** Please let the immigrant children out of their cages!

***** Stacey Abrams has a best seller, Lead from the Outside.

***** Did Harper Lee write ‘The Reverand?’ Oh how I wish I knew!!

***** When will the Bob Geldof story make it to the big screen and can Pete Davidson play him please??

***** Tuca and Bertie from Netflix looks awesome. It has to be good with stars Ali Wong and Tiffany Haddish!!

***** John Lithgow is about to release a book with his poetry about the President which will carry the title of his pet name (everybody seems to have one for Trump), Dumpty.

***** The Sultan of Brunei owns the Hotel Bel-Air in L.A. and the Beverly Hills Hotel. His country will now stone gay people to death. BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*****

***** Tim Ryan is running for President.

***** Seth Moulton is running for President.

***** Joe Biden is running for President.

***** What the hell is happening to Steak ‘n Shake??

***** What the hell is the matter with Senator Mike Lee? He makes a ridiculous presentation with a flying Reagan and all and now he says that babies may be the answer to climate change. He says we need to be free and develop. What is this gut talking about? Why are people like this getting into office?

***** There is a new podcast called Analysis of a killer.

***** Marianne Williamson is running for President.

***** Eric Swalwell is running for President.

***** The notion that Trumps twitter is like a national nanny cam makes perfect sense.

***** Can’t wait to read Seth Abramson’s, Proof of collusion.

***** The question isn’t really collusion. The redacted Mueller report is out and we now see why the team itself did not draw conclusions. All the evidence is there and a sitting President can’t be indicted…. Or can he? There are, however, multiple examples of corruption. It didn’t cost as much as other independent counsel reports because of all the fines that were charged to Manafort and others pretty much paid for it. Mueller called and wrote to Attorney General Barr and told him he created confusion with his memo and that it didn’t really tell the story.

***** In about 12 years Mueller Probe will be a cool name for a band. –Sarah Silverman

***** Federal appellate judge Maryanne Trump Barry, sister of the President has officially retired at age 82. She was put on the U.S. court of appeals by Bill Clinton. And with that, so ends the investigation into her alleged violations of judicial conduct rules because of participation in fraudulent tax schemes with her siblings in the 90’s.

***** I loved the mash up of Trevor Noah taking over the chair and interviewing Colbert on the Late Show.

***** Oliver North and Wayne LaPierre have been fighting amongst themselves at the NRA. Blackmail? Was North trying to get LaPierre out? The board is standing by the VP while North seems aligned with a public relations firm that some board members disagree with. There are many financial questions as well. Once again the NRA held its annual convention which does not allow guns. At the end of April North was forced out

***** The Universe is about a billion years younger than we thought according to astronomer Adam Riess. This is causing experts to look into rethinking dark energy and dark matter. Total mind blow!!!

***** People have taken to wearing Free Britney T’s. Her fans held a protest in L.A. to free her from the facility they believe she was forced into.

***** It seems fads lately are all about internet speak like. “felt cute ….” And etc. like that.

***** They are working on a Beauty and the Beast themed bar in Florida.

***** Seymour, Indiana recently uncovered pieces of a mastodon.

***** Mia Farrow has a cute little blue headed bird that visits here every morning. Is it Sinatra?

***** U go Grace Jones, showing us how to do it at 70!!!!!!

***** J Lo and Owen Wilson will star in Marry Me about a pop star who marries a random man in the crowd.

***** Magic Johnson resigned as President of the Lakers. The Owner and general manager were supposedly bad mouthing him.

***** The sweetest moment in the inductions on this year’s rock and roll hall of fame was the love shown for Rick Allen, the drummer for Def Leppard.

***** So twice as many companies don’t pay taxes now thanks to all the tax cuts. Some even get refunds. Scary Clown sure is making it work for the big guys!!

***** Former President of Peru, Alan Garcia shot himself before his arrest for corruption.

***** Wendy Williams and Howard Stern seem to be having a little war of words. She claims he has gone Hollywood and he called her a cunt. She has filed for divorce from this apparently nasty hubby of hers. I thought I heard her say just weeks ago that they were fine.

***** Joel McHale is in the new season of Santa Clarita Diet.

***** Has anybody checked out John Bouvier Kennedy Schlossberg ( Wow! Talk about getting the whole treatment) lately ? John F’s only grandson, better known as Jack Schlossberg , has a bright future ahead.

***** Lori Lightfoot has been elected the first black, openly gay woman as Mayor of Chicago.

***** Dave Tilley beat out John McCarty, who passed away in February, to become Spring Bay, Il. Village President.

*****Britney Spears’ Father is in ill health and Britney checked into a facility.

***** Zachary Quinto stars in the new NOS4A2.

***** It’s funny to me that when a true crime story hour begins, you never hear that he (cuz 9 times out of 10 it is the male spouse who is the culprit), was an atheist or an agnostic. No, it is always that he or the family attended church regularly or that they were close to God. This is just a pattern I have observed, totally my own thoughts. Sometimes it gets way outer limits with the Fathers who sort of run their own cult out of the house. Of course this is not a blanket statement for we see wonderful things being done in the name of the Lord. It just seems like there is a fine line where religion can be used as a way to hold their power and hide secrets. JS

***** Herman Cain and or Stephen Moore on the Federal regulatory board? Well, Herman Cain dropped out.

***** Andrew Yang is running for President. Join the Yang Gang!! He wants to free all prisoners with non -violent marijuana offenses, free healthcare for all and every adult gets $1000.00 a month.

***** The Criminal Minds cast is ending their run. I think they should get together one more time and do a sort of Agatha Christie whodunit.

***** Secretary of Homeland security, Kirstjen Nielsen is out.

***** Acting ICE director, Ron Vitiello is out.

***** Dislike the elite? Nobody is more elite that Trump. How do so many people not get that?

***** Every woman should be able to tell her truth and who knows what makes a person uncomfortable but I think Joe Biden is going thru some bullshit. I don’t agree with everything he has done thru the years but I trust Biden and think he would be a great President. I do think, however that his moment has passed.

***** Check out the behind the scenes book of Washington, ‘The Hill to die on’ by Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer. More proof that Trump just looks at everything as just a big show with his quote,“ There are ratings for everything.”

***** The Profiles in Courage award this year goes to Nancy Pelosi.

***** I have seen the pharmaceutical reps while at some recent Dr.visits, buying elaborate catered affairs for the medical staff. It is a weekly thing. They sure have some money to throw around. No wonder everybody is hooked on something.

***** Real National emergencies: The electoral college, the discrepancies between the rich and the poor which makes it impossible to achieve the American dream, climate change and healthcare.

***** The co- founder of Home Depot, Ken Langone has seen to it that medical school students at NYU are given free tuition always. YEOW!!

***** We should take a lesson from Sudan. They have ousted President Omar al-Bashir, the butcher of Dafur. The protests have led to his indictment for genocide and crimes against humanity.

***** We never stop learning: Archaeologists have discovered an extinct human species they have never known in the Phillipines that they are calling homo luzonensis.

***** Is Cody Fern teasing us on Instagram about season 9 of American Horror Story:1984?

***** Rumple Buttercup by Matthew Gray Gubler hit #1 on the NY Times bestseller list.

***** As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Tarantino’s Palme d’or win in Cannes, he is busy editing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It isn’t clear if he’ll get the film to this year’s event. Word is coming out that it is fantastic though.

***** I am a little bit sickened that the worst cooks show actually has Jimmie Walker and Tonya Harding on the same show. Can’t the world find something better for a talent like Walker?? Come on!!

***** Is Stephen Miller and Fox news really running this country?

***** R.I.P. Mildred Mercy Tomes, Christine Marie Rinehart, Sen. Ernest Hollings, Dan Robbins, Shag Sheckler, Charles Van Doren, Georgia Engel, victims of the Sri Lanka shrine and hotel bombings, Lyra Mckee, David Brion Davis, MyLecia Naylor, Shelley Lazar, Mark Medoff, Warren Adler , Lori Kaye, John Singleton, victims of the University of North Carolina shooting and Ken Kercheval.

Fake News CNN, MSNBC and MSM Can't Stop Lying

Fake News CNN, MSNBC Jump The Shark On Gun Control

Another mass shooting in the United States has, of course, made the fake news mainstream media members to lose their minds.

Worse, they still haven't learned that despite starting out with public sentiment on their side, due to their inability to cover the issue with anything approaching objectivity, that public support quickly melts away. Last year Russia was all the rage. CNN and MSNBC, their reporting with images of Donald Trump being hauled out of the White House in handcuffs, their coverage dancing in their heads, reflected that insanity. At the time Trump's approval numbers were barely reaching 30%. But over time, despite their ignoring facts, it turns out the only collision with Russia was Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. Now Donald Trump's approval numbers are hovering near 50%. A remarkable turnaround considering the Big three, plus MSNBC and CNN refuse to give President Trump any credit for anything good happening in America. Time and time again MSM overplays their hand, and their lies and lack of objectivity inevitably come around to bite them on their ass. The #MeToo movement - MSM tried to push it off as a Republican problem. They touted their 19 sexual accusers against President Trump. But slowly their stories turned out to be nothing but typical Liberal lies. After Lisa Bloom, the media whore lawyer who represented most of these accusers was outed trying to negotiate 6-figure deals with Anti-trump companies to pay off these accusers, the bottom fell out of the MSM agenda. Trumps Tax reform - MSM let Democrats run wild on air. The Tax cut was made to look like the public would receive nothing. No companies would ever pass on their tax break to employees. And the biggest lie of all CNN, and MSNBC claiming 80% of Americans won't even see a tax break. The lies were so prevalent, Trump tax break was only supported by 31% of the people. Once the Tax break took effect and the truth caught up to the MSM lies, people knew they were taken for an MSM ride. Today the tax cut approval stands at 52% and rising. This list goes on and on but you get the picture. Instead of accurately reporting facts, MSM completely screws the pooch with their lies. While it takes time for the truth to reveal itself, the truth will ultimately prevail. Parkland Shooting Amid the aftermath of last week's massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where a gunman killed 17 people, press members went into full-on retard for Gun Control, Anti-NRA and even worse in their coverage of this horrific event. MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace really lost her mind. She agreed with New York Times columnist Bret Stephens' reference to the "so-called" right to bear arms in the Second Amendment, and it should be repealed immediately. Wallace then insanely claimed that the only reason MSNBC was even covering the Parkland Shooting was "Because all the victims were white" CNN's Don Lemon called the idea of having an "open mind" about arming teachers "stupid," and network commentator Van Jones said many people view the National Rifle Association as villainous as the Ku Klux Klan. Van Jones even went so far as to retweet an already debunked story that the Parkland shooter was trained by the NRA. MSNBC's Katy Tur spread her fabricated lie that Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R.) was "too busy" to meet with students calling for gun-reform measures at his Tallahassee office. Later, Tur reported that Scott was at a funeral for one of the victims of the shooting, hence his absence. But despite being shown a total lie, Ali Velshi and other MSNBC host tweeted out a the same misleading claim about Scott that was shared tens of thousands of times. CNN's Chris Cuomo and CNN ass kissing apologist Brian Stelter claimed that Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, along with Gov. Scott were"Too Scared" to appear on CNN. Ted Cruz responded to both of the morons showing pictures of him being interviewed on CNN. Chris Cuomo always the jackass then claimed he was talking about "HIS" show. That Cruz was scared of facing him. Ted Cruz made Cuomo look like the pathetic loser he is, when the Senator responded 'Not only am I not afraid, There has never been a Human Being that was afraid to face Chris Cuomo.' MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle asked Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) to "step up and be a human" in criticism of his support for gun rights, and she also thanked a Florida Democrat for introducing an assault weapon ban in the State House. "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski touted the Australian "buyback" gun-control program on their show, and MSNBC panelist Eddie Glaude said that gun culture is rooted in a "toxic masculinity" and a "myth" about the idea that Americans could protect themselves. CNN host Brooke Baldwin tried to claim that the White House was trying to hide because their morning briefing didn't start on time. She went off into an unhinged tirade crying "You can't hide from us, start the press briefing and answer our questions." Baldwin also went off on a Florida Republican who voted down having a debate on the proposed assault weapons ban, yelling at him to stop using his talking points. The MSM having politicians like Bernie Sanders on to claim this was the 18 school shooting in 2018, a complete lie that BluePillSheep reported on last week. Or the AP's claim that the shooter was a white supremest. ABC's "Good Morning America" host Robin Roberts could not believe the words "gun control" had not yet been spoken by President Donald Trump. MSM also attacked anyone who asked legitimate questions of these high school students. MSM attacked Ben Shapiro labeling him a disgusting human being. All because he said 'Yes, you survived a horrific attack and I thank God he saw you through this, but how does that experience make you an expert on Gun Control or an AR-15?" The CNN Town Hall Anyone watching that scripted show would have thought it was on par with the Kardashians. The town hall CNN had for the survivors, teachers, and families of the Parkland mass shooting was billed as a rally to ask questions about gun reform. But the CNN scripted show was nothing more than a Liberal lynch mob having a Anti-NRA, gun-control rally. CNN Jake Tapper sat there like a statue, not doing much of anything but letting the mob run the show. There was little to no decorum and the kids, adults, and CNN who cried for a week telling Republicans "When will you sit down and debate this topic?" Now just screamed their talking points to those that came there to sit down and have an honest discourse. Surrounded by a full house and Senator Marco Rubio and Dana Loesch representing the NRA standing before them. Instead of asking a legitimate question. They made statements and performed a "Gotcha interrogation." These kids who asked would ask politicians why were you accepting "blood money" from the NRA, compared Rubio to a school shooter and suggested NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch does not care about her children and called her a murderer. Hours after the rally ended multiple witnesses started to come forward claiming CNN supplied the students with questions. They also didn't invite, nor want any students who were Pro-NRA, or Pro-Gun to the rally. In other words, CNN only wanted to hear one side... their side, and nothing else mattered. The Truth Will Prevail CNN and MSNBC hardly reported the fact that over three dozen times the Broward Sheriff department visited the house of the killer. In every visit they did nothing. They did not take him away, did not report the situation to the state, did nothing to report that he acted mentally unstable. Worse they did nothing to take his guns away. Yesterday, The Broward sheriff had to confess that the deputy assigned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Scot Peterson, a school resource officer from the Broward County Sheriff's office, waited outside the school building without ever going inside. He was armed and could have saved some of the lives lost, but he didn't even bother to try. Instead, he waited in the parking lot pissing his pants. Once again with the public completely on the side of gun control. CNN, MSNBC and the big three reported lies, distortions, and falsehoods and this will ultimately wipe away all the support they had. The CNN rally was nothing but a farce. Those sympathetic kids came off at the rally like spoiled little twits. Sheriff Israel looking looked like a 'blame everyone but myself' buffoon, and after yesterday's news looks even more buffoonery. The one person who came out of that rally with more respect was Dana Loesch. She was simply spectacular. She stayed calm, cool. and collective. She did an incredible job trying to answer the questions put forth to her, despite being surrounded by so much hate and anger. Loesch never lashed out, never raised her voice, she simply answered the questions honestly. As the public becomes more aware of the facts, public support that the MSM had enjoyed will quickly erode, as it usually does. MSM every few months proves one old saying is as true today as it ever was "If one does not learn from history, then you are doomed to repeat it." Read the full article

SOURCE: americasfreedomfighters.com On Friday evening, new emails were released from the Obama-era FBI, and they show that bureau was far more concerned with covering up crimes than it was upholding justice. Last summer, while Hillary Clinton was under investigation for having an illegal email server, her husband Bill tracked down and had a secretive meeting with then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the tarmac at an Arizona airport. At the time, they had hoped nobody would ever learn about the clandestine meeting, but a patriotic member of one of their security details leaked news of it to the local press, and just like that it became a national story. Coincidentally (there's no such thing as an actual coincidence), Hillary Clinton would be exonerated from her crimes by disgraced FBI Director James Comey just days later. Meanwhile, as news of Lynch's meeting with Bill spread like wildfire across the nation, there was a concerted effort by the FBI and Justice Department to run 'damage control' and downplay the meeting as much as they possibly could. Last night, emails between top Justice Department and FBI officials regarding the infamous encounter were released, and they're not good for the bureau's credibility, at all. According to the Daily Wire, the emails are from a span of a few days, and they show how the FBI and Justice Department carefully crafted talking points - talking points that are all redacted in the released emails - to explain away the meeting as if it were nothing, even though it was really something huge. The emails, spanning from July 1-3, 2016, contain correspondence among various DOJ officials to the leaking of the impromptu 30-minute meeting between Lynch and Clinton that the AG insists was merely a personal chat about their grandchildren and recent travels, but what many continue to suspect had something to do with the ongoing investigation of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Comey's press conference in which he announced that he would not request Lynch to pursue charges was on July 5. Katie Pavlich of Town Hall has more: A series of emails show one FBI official, whose name and email are redacted, fuming over leaks to the media about the meeting and what happened on the tarmac. The official received an email from a 'layman' alleging a local Phoenix police officer who may have talked to a reporter 'sounds like a security threat.' Officials went back and forth about finding out if the officer was SWAT or simply worked the motorcade and that 'at a minimum' he should never work another detail again. One asked if local law enforcement assisting the FBI on motorcades should sign non-disclosure agreements in the future. Another official called an Observer article about the meeting, with details about how President Clinton got to Lynch's private plane, 'infuriating.' It's worth noting that demoted FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who was the lead investigator into Hillary Clinton's private server, was also included in the emails. Other officials include Comey and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. Of course, what's actually 'infuriating' is the fact Lynch and Clinton thought it a good idea to have a secret meeting to begin with. But thanks to the FBI and Justice Department becoming highly politicized under the leadership of Comey and Lynch, both agencies cared not about true justice and finding the truth for the American people, but instead making sure to cover up the crimes of their Democrat overlords.

POLITICO Playbook: TAX REFORM happening in 2017

Good Saturday morning. OK, WE WERE WRONG. We said tax reform probably wouldn’t happen in 2017. It will. It’s a significant legislative victory for PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, SPEAKER PAUL RYAN and SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL. Republicans tell us that they have to spend 2018 selling these tax cuts to the public, and hope that people feel the impact before the elections.

AROUND THE TAX HORN …

Story Continued Below

— BRIAN FALER, SEUNG MIN KIM and COLIN WILHELM: “The legislation would cut both business and individual taxes as part of the biggest tax revamp in 30 years. It is poised to be carved into law next week when Congress sends it to President Donald Trump for his signature. … House Speaker Paul Ryan told Republican lawmakers on a phone call that the House will vote on the plan Tuesday, before the Senate, according to a person on the call. …

“Along the way, lawmakers have been willing to accept things that, in the past, would have had them at each other’s throats. They’re settling for a much higher top individual income tax rate — 37 percent — than many wanted, and their plans to expand the child tax credit would effectively excuse millions of low-income people from paying federal income taxes. …

“Brady acknowledged that fixes would be necessary after it becomes law. ‘I can’t imagine any major undertaking like this that doesn’t require technical corrections in the future,’ he said.” http://politi.co/2BvK3fO

LOBBYISTS are already banking on the need for fixes to drive 2018 revenues. Multiple downtowners have said that companies hired them as a last ditch effort once the Senate bill passed and that their clients are ready to double down on a separate bill next year.

— “As a Must-Pass Republican Tax Bill Headed for the Finish Line, Rubio Saw an Opening,” by NYT’s Sheryl Stolberg: “A longtime champion of the working class, Mr. Rubio had tried in vain to secure a more generous tax break for lower-income Americans as Congress embarked on a sweeping rewrite of the federal tax code. On Thursday, with the hours winding down on a final version of the bill and a frantic push to pass it along party lines in a narrowly-divided Senate, Mr. Rubio took a stand: He threatened to vote no unless House and Senate negotiators expanded the child tax credit.

“It was a dramatic moment, as those on Capitol Hill and beyond wondered if Mr. Rubio was grandstanding, bluffing or both. But for Mr. Rubio, it was a natural extension of the promise he believes the Republican Party had made, and was in danger of abandoning, to look out for the little guy. ‘If you look at all the benefits that are flowing,’ particularly to multinational corporations, Mr. Rubio said in a telephone interview, ‘it was important to be able to go back and do more for working families.’” http://nyti.ms/2BxFHVi

— “Why Democrats failed to tank tax reform,” by Elana Schor and Heather Caygle: “While stripping people of health insurance strikes at a visceral human need, a debate over taxes tends to bog voters down in wonky details. Meanwhile, Democrats struggled to break through a media environment crowded with an intensifying Russia investigation, a wave of sexual harassment scandals and a fight over young undocumented immigrants. And while liberal grassroots activists sought to bring pressure to bear on GOP swing votes, the Republican Party held together this time, desperate for a major legislative victory after a year in total control of Washington.” http://politi.co/2BxkpHx

— WAPO’S DAVID LYNCH: “Trump promised ‘America First’ would keep jobs here. But the tax plan might push them overseas”: “The legislation fails to eliminate long-standing incentives for companies to move overseas and, in some cases, may even increase them, they say. ‘This bill is potentially more dangerous than our current system,’ said Stephen Shay, a senior lecturer at Harvard Law School and former Treasury Department international tax expert in the Obama administration. ‘It creates a real incentive to shift real activity offshore.’” http://wapo.st/2CK0vqI

— THE PAUL STREET JOURNAL: “A Tax Reform for Growth: The GOP bill will spur investment and make the U.S. more competitive”: “Republicans have been promising to reform the tax code for decades, and Speaker Paul Ryan deserves particular notice for years of intellectual and political spadework. The House campaigned on tax reform with its Better Way agenda, and Donald Trump made it a 2016 theme. This bill fulfills that promise.” http://on.wsj.com/2CmmG58

— NEW YORK REP. LEE ZELDIN announced he would vote against the final package. Last night, Steve Bannon campaigned for him. So much for Bannon being Trump’s biggest cheerleader on the outside! Zeldin will vote against his top legislative priority.

AMY WALTER on PAUL RYAN in the Cook Political Report — “Paul Ryan Is More Than A Policy Wonk”: “Most of the focus on what a Ryan-less House would look like centers on the legislative and intra-party repercussions of his departure. Not as much attention has been paid to Ryan’s significant investment in the political infrastructure of the party, and what it would mean for House Republicans to lose that. Known more for being a budget guru than a Rep. Tom Davis-like political savant, Ryan has nonetheless built something of a shadow party to help defend and define House campaigns for 2018. His SuperPAC – Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) – spent more than $40 million in 2016. That is a little more than half of what the NRCC’s independent expenditure arm spent ($73 million) in the 2016 cycle. This year, CLF says it plans to spend $100 million, much of it on an aggressive field and data operation that is already up and running in 17 of the most vulnerable GOP-held congressional districts. …

“There’s nothing all that unusual about a House Speaker or House leader being a prodigious fundraiser. It is a significant part of the job. House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi has retained her base of power, say many Democratic insiders, thanks to her fundraising prowess. However, we’ve never seen a Speaker this involved in the nuts and bolts of campaigning and messaging in ways that bypass the official party apparatus.

“This isn’t to say that Ryan has ignored the House campaign committee. The Speaker has transferred more than $30 million to the NRCC. Even so, for House Republicans up in 2018, they may be more indebted to Ryan’s early investments in their campaigns than they are to the official party campaign committees.” http://bit.ly/2CAbYsR

REMEMBER: The government needs to be funded by Friday night.

SMILES AT THE DSCC — “On Trump turf, GOP still seeks North Dakota Senate candidate,” by the AP’s Tom Beaumont and James MacPherson in Bismarck, North Dakota: “In North Dakota, where Donald Trump won in a landslide last year, Republicans’ lone Senate candidate is a little-known state lawmaker — and potato farmer — from a remote town closer to the Canadian border than the state capital. While established Republicans and business leaders in other states Trump carried are running to topple Democratic senators, the GOP is struggling to land a big name in North Dakota to run against Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in 2018.

“The slow start has raised some worries that the GOP is ceding the early advantage to the well-funded Heitkamp in a place seemingly ripe for Republicans’ quest to expand their majority yet surprisingly central to Democrats’ effort to hold them off. She is one of 10 Democrats seeking re-election next year in a state the president carried. ‘I’m not sure that our party fully grasps or understands the magnitude of a campaign against Heidi Heitkamp,’ said former Gov. Ed Schafer, a Republican. ‘We’re acting like we’re overly confident of a win.’” http://strib.mn/2AD39gr

****** A message from the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates: The UAE and the US are partnering to create economic growth and jobs for people in both countries. For eight years in a row, the UAE has been the top market in the Middle East and North Africa for US exports. http://politi.co/2y8BB0m ******

ON OMAROSA … — NYT’S KATIE ROGERS and MAGGIE HABERMAN: “‘As the only African-American woman in this White House,’ Ms. Newman said in the ‘Good Morning America’ interview, ‘I have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people. It is a profound story that I know the world will want to hear.’ Ms. Newman has not elaborated, other than to say that she had been trying to raise ‘grave concerns’ about an issue that would ‘affect the president in a big way.’ Former and current White House officials said they were uncertain what she was referring to. But she has rejected one suggestion: that Mr. Trump holds racist views.

“‘Donald Trump is racial, but he is not a racist,’ she said on ABC’s ‘Nightline.’ ‘The things that he says, the types of pushback that he gives, involve people of color. These are racial exchanges.’ ‘Yes, I will acknowledge many of the exchanges — particularly in the last six months — have been racially charged … Do we then just stop and label him as a racist? No.’” http://bit.ly/2k3VvVW

— DATA DU JOUR: “Black conservatives reel after Omarosa resigns,” by Boston Globe’s Astead Herndon and Annie Linskey: “[H]er sudden absence also casts a fresh spotlight on the startling lack of racial diversity in Trump’s administration. … African-American representation is especially thin among the ranks of roughly 125 ‘commissioned officers’ within the White House, high-ranking staffers designated as assistant, deputy assistant, and special assistant to the president. There are only three black staff members with the commissioned officer rank … The White House would not provide a list of those black staffers. The list does include Ja’Ron Smith, a midlevel black staffer, who was promoted this week to be special assistant to the president.” http://bit.ly/2BhA5w7

HMM — “Executive at Consultancy Hired by E.P.A. Scrutinized Agency Employees Critical of Trump,” by NYT’s Eric Lipton and Lisa Friedman: “A vice president for [Definers Public Affairs], Allan Blutstein, federal records show, has submitted at least 40 Freedom of Information Act requests to the E.P.A. since President Trump was sworn in. Many of those requests target employees known to be questioning management at the E.P.A. since Scott Pruitt, the agency’s administrator, was confirmed.

“Mr. Blutstein, in an interview, said he was taking aim at ‘resistance’ figures in the federal government, adding that he hoped to discover whether they had done anything that might embarrass them or hurt their cause. ‘I wondered if they were emailing critical things about the agency on government time and how frequently they were corresponding about this,’ he said. ‘And did they do anything that would be useful for Republicans.’” http://nyti.ms/2CEWiEr

— “CDC gets list of forbidden words: fetus, transgender, diversity,” by WaPo’s Lena H. Sun and Juliet Eilperin: “The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation’s top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including ‘fetus’ and ‘transgender’ — in any official documents being prepared for next year’s budget. Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are ‘vulnerable,’ ‘entitlement,’ ‘diversity,’ ‘transgender,’ ‘fetus,’ ‘evidence-based’ and ‘science-based.’” http://wapo.st/2k2Wo15

SEND IN YOUR PITCHES! – “Kushner’s legal team looks to hire crisis public relations firm amid Russia probe,” by WaPo’s Josh Dawsey: “Senior White House official Jared Kushner and his legal team are searching for a crisis public relations firm, according to four people familiar with the matter. Kushner’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, has quietly called at least two firms … The inquiries have occurred in the past two weeks … In a statement, Lowell confirmed he was looking for a firm that would handle media for all high-profile clients that receive attention from the press. … ‘My law firm and I are considering hiring an outside consultant to handle the time-consuming incoming inquiries on the cases in which I am working that receive media attention,’ Lowell said in a statement … ‘This inquiry from you about whether I am doing this is a good example of why we need one.’ … At least one firm, Mercury Public Affairs, passed up the opportunity to work with Kushner’s team, people familiar with the discussions said.” http://wapo.st/2AXWSjG

COMING ATTRACTIONS — “Trump lawyers set for key meeting with special counsel next week,” by CNN’s Pamela Brown, Evan Perez, Gloria Borger and Kara Scannell: “Trump’s private lawyers are slated to meet with special counsel Robert Mueller and members of his team as soon as next week for what the President’s team considers an opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of the next steps in Mueller’s probe, according to sources familiar with the matter. While the lawyers have met with Mueller’s team before and might again, the sources believe the upcoming meeting has greater significance because it comes after the completion of interviews of White House personnel requested by the special counsel and after all requested documents have been turned over. Mueller could still request more documents and additional interviews.

“No request to interview the President or the vice president has been made, sources tell CNN. But Trump’s team, led by John Dowd and Jay Sekulow, is hoping for signs that Mueller’s investigation is nearing its end, or at least the part having to do with the President. Their goal is to help Trump begin to emerge from the cloud of the ongoing investigation, several of the sources explained. The sources acknowledge that Mueller is under no obligation to provide any information and concede they may walk away with no greater clarity.” http://cnn.it/2BkntUW

DRIP DRIP — “Nine more women say judge subjected them to inappropriate behavior, including four who say he touched or kissed them,” by WaPo’s Matt Zapotosky: “The new allegations — which span decades and include not just those who worked for [Alex] Kozinski but also those who encountered him at events — bring the total number of women accusing the judge of inappropriate behavior to at least 15. One recent law student at the University of Montana said that Kozinski, at a 2016 reception, pressed his finger into the side of her breast, which was covered by her clothes, and moved it with some ‘deliberateness’ to the center, purporting to be pushing aside her lapel to fully see her name tag. Another lawyer said Kozinski approached her when she was alone in a room at a legal community event around 2008 in downtown Los Angeles and — with no warning — gave her a bear hug and kissed her on the lips.” http://wapo.st/2kyGPxJ

— “The two expat bros who terrorized women correspondents in Moscow,” by Kathy Lally in WaPo: “Twenty years ago, when I was a Moscow correspondent for the Baltimore Sun, two Americans named Matt Taibbi and Mark Ames ran an English-language tabloid in the Russian capital called the eXile. They portrayed themselves as swashbuckling parodists, unbound by the conventions of mainstream journalism, exposing Westerners who were cynically profiting from the chaos of post-Soviet Russia. A better description is this: The eXile was juvenile, stunt-obsessed and pornographic, titillating for high school boys. … The eXile’s distinguishing feature, more than anything else, was its blinding sexism — which often targeted me.” http://wapo.st/2k4NsZh

FIRST PERSON – “Trent Franks rescinded my internship when I wouldn’t come to his house,” by Melissa Richmond in WaPo: “After … interviews, the congressman’s office offered me a summer internship focusing on his Judiciary Committee work. Several weeks went by. Then something unusual happened. The congressman called me on my cellphone — from his cellphone — late on a Sunday night. He mentioned that his family wasn’t home and asked me whether I could come over that night for a ‘final one-on-one interview’ with him. I was stunned.

“Senior members of his staff had interviewed me weeks before and offered me the position. After speaking with my family, I called the congressman back and told him I didn’t feel comfortable going to his house. In that case, he told me, the internship offer was rescinded.” http://wapo.st/2Buz4n0

— @RepAdamSchiff: “I’m increasingly worried Republicans will shut down the House Intelligence Committee investigation at the end of the month. Here’s why” — his Twitter thread http://bit.ly/2CnQChs

FOR YOUR RADAR — “U.S. setting stage for solar trade war with China,” by Emily Holden: “An unreleased White House document offers the strongest hint yet that the Trump administration is laying the groundwork for punitive tariffs on Chinese-made solar power equipment — a step that would promote the president’s ‘America First’ trade agenda while sharply increasing the costs of solar power in the U.S. The prospect of such tariffs, which President Donald Trump could announce in January, has deeply alarmed the U.S. solar installation industry. It warns that it could lose tens of thousands of jobs if the cost of solar spikes, slowing the booming growth that sun-powered energy enjoyed during the Obama administration.” http://politi.co/2CGY8Vh

VALLEY TALK — “Uber Hacked and Surveilled Rivals, Alleges Ex-Manager in Letter,” by WSJ’s Jack Nicas and Greg Bensinger: “In June 2016, Uber Technologies Inc. contractors trained by the [CIA] allegedly spied on another firm’s executives and sent live video to then-Chief Executive Travis Kalanick in the company’s ‘War Room.’ That summer, an Uber contractor allegedly began using hacked phones and ‘signal-intercept equipment’ to collect data about phone calls between Uber’s opponents, politicians and regulators.

“And several months later, Uber employees allegedly hacked into a rival’s systems and collected ‘the license, name and contact information’ of all of its drivers—information allegedly delivered directly to Mr. Kalanick. These allegations are among the claims made by a former Uber official in a 37-page letter delivered in May to management that paints the ride-hailing firm as a paranoid company with a sophisticated intelligence apparatus designed to gain an edge on rivals and trick regulators.” http://on.wsj.com/2jbj5zv

BEYOND THE BELTWAY — “Progressives hunt down one of the last conservative Democrats,” by Illinois Playbooker Natasha Korecki in Chicago: “Powerful interests are lined up against him. Outside spending groups are forming to advocate for his defeat. National political figures have endorsed his opponent. And that’s just within Democratic Congressman Dan Lipinski’s own party. Lipinski, one of the few remaining conservative Democrats in Congress, is under siege from the left, battling for his political life against progressives who are teaming up to replace him with a candidate far more in line with liberal orthodoxy.

“That candidate, Marie Newman, a businesswoman and former marketing consultant, already has high-profile endorsements from feminist icon Gloria Steinem and New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand — an unusual show of opposition against a fellow Democratic congressional incumbent. Newman has also received a rare joint endorsement from a handful of influential progressive groups: NARAL, MoveOn.org, Democracy for America, Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Human Rights Campaign. While Lipinski is accustomed to drawing primary challenges in his Chicago-based district, he’s never before been targeted with so much local and national firepower.” http://politi.co/2j5UvzL

BUSINESS BURST — “Boeing, Airbus Sales Imperiled as Trump Administration Formulates Iran Plan,” by WSJ’s Felicia Schwartz and Ian Talley: “The Trump administration is advancing a strategy that could derail efforts by Boeing Co. and Airbus SE to sell hundreds of jetliners to Iranian airlines, U.S. officials said. The two aerospace giants have lined up deals over the past 15 months that have been left in limbo as the White House reassessed its Iran policy and has threatened to walk away from an international nuclear deal if Congress and European partners don’t address concerns, with only a handful of Airbus planes so far delivered.

“Any effort to scuttle these deals, by accident or design, could have far-reaching consequences, both for the nuclear accord and the jet makers. Under the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran agreed to curb its nuclear program in exchange for significant sanctions relief, and supporters of the accord fear it would fall apart if Iran doesn’t see the benefits it was promised.” http://on.wsj.com/2BkLBGX

****** A message from the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates: The UAE is a major investor in the US. UAE FDI in the US totaled $26 billion in 2016 – in sectors ranging from financial services, to transportation, to consumer products. That means jobs for thousands of Americans and liquidity for capital markets across the country. The UAE and the US are united in prosperity. http://politi.co/2y8BB0m ******
