PATRIOT POST
— Pot Bill Tokes the Line on Public Safety – Tony Perkins https://patriotpost.us/opinion/65810-pot-bill-tokes-the-line-on-public-safety-2019-10-01 (FROM THE ARTICLE: And
yet, last Wednesday, in the U.S. House, more than 300 members of Congress put
their names behind a bill that would help legitimize a business that’s
destroying and endangering lives. It was the first ever vote on a stand-alone
cannabis bill, not that the name would have told you so. The SAFE Banking Act,
one of the more ridiculously named pieces of legislation in the Democratic
House, would make it easier for marijuana companies to “open checking accounts
and get business loans.” Pot companies argue that it would make the entire
market safer, since they tend to operate on a “cash-only basis” or pay sky-high
fees to the banks who are willing to work with them. Amazingly, 321 members of
Congress (including 91 Republicans) fell for this logic, which encourages banks
to get involved in the sale of what the federal government still considers an
illegal substance.)

— With Facebook’s Coming News Tab, Only Some Will Get Paid Social-media giant
plans to pay about a quarter of news organizations whose content will be
featured – Lukas I. Alpert and Sahil Patel (DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS email
subscriptions are worth at least $1,000 a year. GOPUSA ILLINOIS come out each
and every morning. Since 2004, they have included links to more than 347,000
articles and information on many upcoming events.) https://www.wsj.com/articles/with-facebooks-coming-news-tab-only-some-will-get-paid-11569852600 (FROM THE ARTICLE: The
licensing fees Facebook is offering range as high as $3 million a year for
national news outlets to several hundred thousand dollars for regional
publications, they said. The deals would be for three years. Facebook plans to
expand the number of publishers included in the program as the product
develops, the people said. The feed will become more customizable and
individually targeted, and will eventually include links from Facebook’s
local-news project “Today In.” Facebook will highlight only publishers that
meet the criteria of its news page index, which requires sites to focus on news
reporting and bars those that repeatedly share misinformation and bombard
readers with advertising. But the company, which has been accused of bias by
conservatives in the past, has been mindful to include a diversity of
viewpoints among the outlets that will be featured, one person said. For
example, while stories from Infowars won’t be included, stories from Breitbart
might appear, this person said. “We’ve been working closely with news
organizations to get this right by emphasizing original reporting and making it
much easier to find the most relevant news on Facebook,” said Campbell Brown,
Facebook’s vice president of global news partnerships. Headlines appearing in
Facebook’s news section will be chosen in some cases by a team of editors and
in others by the company’s algorithm, people familiar with the matter said. The
“Top News” section, which will feature about 10 headlines, will be entirely
curated by human editors. News in subsections, such as sports or entertainment,
and a “suggested for you” section, will be selected by algorithm. The feed
won’t include any advertising and all stories will direct readers to the
publishers’ own websites, the people said. Facebook’s curators will use a
detailed list of criteria for which stories to highlight, including promoting
outlets that were the first to report the news, the people said. Stories with
named sources might also be given priority to those that rely on anonymous
sources. Facebook is looking to expand its team of curators to about 25 people,
with some based in London, to work under Anne Kornblut, a Pulitzer Prize winner
who joined Facebook in 2015 after stints at the Washington Post, New York Times
and Boston Globe, the people said.)

NATIONAL REVIEW
— Sanders Calls for ‘National Wealth Registry’ to Enforce New Tax – MAIREAD
MCARDLE https://www.nationalreview.com/news/bernie-calls-for-national-wealth-registry-to-enforce-new-tax/ (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Sanders’ annual tax on the top 0.1 percent would apply to Americans with a net
worth of over $32 million, or about 180,000 households, and would raise
approximately $4.35 trillion over the next decade, the Sanders campaign
estimates. The Vermont senator’s plan seeks to combat capital flight and other
forms of tax avoidance through a “national wealth registry” and the addition of
“significant additional third party reporting requirements.” The proposal calls
for increased funding for the Internal Revenue Service to cover the
bureaucratic costs associated with enforcing the wealth tax. Under the plan,
the IRS will be required to audit 30 percent of the top one percent’s wealth
tax returns and 100 percent for billionaires. The tax would start at one
percent for a married couple with $32.5 million and would progressively
increase one percent for each bracket up to eight percent for those with a net
worth of $10 billion. Those rates would be halved for single individuals.)

THE HILL
— Consequential GOP class of 1994 all but disappears – REID WILSON (DIERSEN:
Democrats and RINOs used the Contract with America to get rid of GAO’s
employees who were White, male, and/or non-veteran who GAO had not promoted to
GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30,
GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently
$165,500) by age 40.) https://thehill.com/homenews/house/462705-consequential-gop-class-of-1994-all-but-disappears (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Twenty-five years ago Friday, 367 Republicans running for Congress lined up on
the Capitol steps on a clear September day weeks before the midterm elections
to sign the Contract with America. . .When the lawmakers signed Gingrich’s
contract, Republicans had no experience running the legislative branch. The
last Republican Speaker of the House, Joseph Martin, had died 26 years before
Gingrich took control. Gingrich pledged that a new way of business was coming
to Washington, seizing power from committee chairmen who had never held a gavel
themselves and making himself the most powerful Speaker in generations, a trend
his successors have followed. Gingrich “was making all sorts of proclamations,
and he was saying the presidency didn’t really matter. For a moment or two, we
thought he might be right,” said Pat Griffin, Clinton’s director of legislative
affairs at the time. “We were feeling terribly depressed, everybody was
pointing fingers at everyone else.” For the next two years, the new Republican
majority forced Democrats and the Clinton White House to react to their agenda.
Clinton, his reelection hopes suddenly in doubt, moved to compromise with
Republicans where he could and set himself apart from an increasingly unpopular
Congress — including his own party — where possible.)
