In yet another mindless fake news story about fake news, NewsWeek explains how "Russia Controls the American Mind"
NewsWeek embarrassed itself with this shoddy headline story WHY CLINTON LOST: WHAT RUSSIA DID TO CONTROL THE AMERICAN MIND AND PUT TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
The all caps shouting is theirs.
Apparently, running one of his “impeach Trump” ads during game five of the World Series didn’t provide billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer enough exposure.
As we’ve previously reported, the unhinged billionaire’s ad campaign demonstrates a shocking lack of self-awareness. In the video, Steyer bills himself as an “American Citizen” and ticks off exaggerated claims about Trump, including accusing him of being “mentally unstable” and a “clear and present danger” to the American people.
Judicial Watch has just dumped a new treasure trove of FBI emails regarding Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's conflict check relative to the Clinton email investigation (for those who missed it, we reviewed all of McCabe's many scandals here: "FBI Director McCabe Subject Of Three Separate Federal Inquiries Into Alleged Misconduct: Report"). Ironically, this particular FOIA request was filed in October 2016 under the Obama administration but they apparently just "didn't have time" to get to it.
A trio of labor economists suggest that effort at work is correlated with race...
As The Economist writes, given the long history of making racial slurs about the efforts of some workers, any study casting black and Hispanic men as lazier than whites and Asians is sure to court controversy.
But, a provocative working paper by economists Daniel Hamermesh, Katie Genadek and Michael Burda sticks a tentative toe into these murky waters.
Last week, special counsel Robert Muller and his team subpoenaed the Trump campaign asking campaign officials to handover Russian-related documents. The subpoena was first reported by the WSJ on Thursday, which the source said, the campaign has already turned over 20,000 documents, and was not clear why the subpoena was issued. Mueller and his team of investigators are probing for any collusion between President Trump and ‘the Russians’ during the 2016 presidential election.
