I take this piece of shit, oops, news as something that is expected. Nothing unusual or spectacular. This is Singapore, remember. It is good that the 3 top WP exco members and elected MPs take it in their stride, knowing that this is inevitable. Now the good news and the bad news.

The bad news is that the 3 WP MPs would be disqualified from the next GE, as sure as the sun shall rise. Everyone

More than 42 per cent of
Hongkongers want to emigrate because of the ongoing social unrest,
according to a recent survey by Chinese University, compared with around
a third of respondents who gave the same answer in December last year.

‘Basically, what Singaporeans ought to do is to “wake up” from their
slumber of letting others determine their lives. If they are unhappy
about the haze and irresponsible forest fires in Indonesia, speak up and
do not suffer in silence or waste time on pseudo rallies. Turn up at
Hong Lim Park, if you have to. Go there to do real protest about real
issues. If you are fed up with the

After a series of zigzags, Utah is about to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. At least 10 red states have done the same, but Utah’s experience may be a bellwether showing how far the Trump administration will let states go in customizing Medicaid, the joint federal-state health care program for the poor.

Utah voters approved Medicaid expansion last November, by a 53% to 47% margin. But after the state’s Republican-dominated legislature convened in January, it scaled back the voter-approved measure. Instead of covering childless adults making up to 138% of the federal poverty level — the standard in the ACA and the ballot initiative — Utah lawmakers wanted to cover only those making up to 100% of the poverty level.

Legislators also wanted to add a work requirement — even though courts have thwarted that in other states. They wanted Utah to “lock out” beneficiaries who intentionally received services to which they weren’t entitled — and to allow state Medicaid officials to remove them without a court finding. And they wanted Utah to be able to cap enrollment if it ran into budget problems.

“When President Trump took office in 2017, he promised the American people that he would clean up Washington’s regulatory overreach. He pledged to make government accountable to the people. And he has made good on his promises by driving the largest deregulation effort since President Reagan took office over 30 years ago,” Acting White House Management and Budget Director Russ Vought writes for Fox News. Yesterday, the President took another important action: He signed two executive orders that will protect “Americans against secret or unlawful bureaucratic interpretations of rules and guards against unfair or unexpected penalties for non-compliance.” Click here to read more.

“How are middle-income Americans doing two and a half years after President Trump took office? Better than ever,” Grover Norquist writes in Fox Business. Real median income is up $4,114 since President Trump took office. “From the first day of George W. Bush’s administration to the last day of Obama’s the median income increased about $1,000.”

While the far-left media keeps hoping for a recession, “the hard data, which refers to actual numbers about the economy such as unemployment and retail sales, continues to reflect economic strength,” Fred Imbert reports for CNBC. “The U.S. unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low in September while retail sales grew more than expected in August.”

“The day after the 2016 presidential election, the Democrats began talking about impeachment. They haven’t let up since. The fact that they stated their intent to pursue impeachment before Trump was even in office reveals that they are motivated by hatred,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) writes in The Daily Signal.

“Ivanka Trump, daughter of President Donald Trump and advisor to the president, will be visiting Kansas City along with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, for a child care roundtable” today, KMBC 9 News reports. “Part of the goal is to discuss improving access to child care for working families.”

Ukrainian MP Andriy Derkach revealed on Wednesday that former Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 from Burisma Group for lobbying activities, citing materials related to an investigation.

Via Interfax:

Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials.

Derkach publicized documents which, as he said, “describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr.” at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine’s press center in Kyiv on Wednesday. –Interfax

“This was the transfer of Burisma Group’s funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services,” said Derkach.

With the U.S. and China in the midst of a new round of high level trade talks, this Thursday marks 22 months since tariffs were launched and the trade war began.

Far from being “easy to win”, the trade war has lasted far longer than most analysts in the mainstream and alternative media predicted. In past articles, I have warned that the trade war itself is probably not meant to be won at all; rather, it is a massive distraction and a convenient scapegoat as global banks set the implosion of the Everything Bubble in motion. I continue to stand by this assessment, which is why I think it is unlikely that the current talks with China will accomplish much of anything.

This conclusion runs in stark contrast to all the hype we heard in the investment community in September. The way stock markets levitated, one would have thought a deal was assured. Never underestimate the power of blind optimism, I suppose. I believe there are a very limited number of end games to the meeting, none of which will result in an actual “deal”. However, it’s important to understand the dynamics at play here.
