Hearing...

Far...

Advocating the government print money without worrying about paying the bills to guarantee jobs for everyone, Medicare for all, or the Green New Deal is a dangerous approach being pushed by far-left Democrats, former Barack Obama economic advisor Larry Summers told CNBC.

"This Modern Monetary Theory, where we can guarantee jobs for everybody or have Medicare for all and just rely on money printing to finance it, I think that is quite a dangerous approach," Summers said.

Kelton told CNBC last week that the core of MMT is the idea of government-guaranteed full employment. "What we would do is effectively establish a public option in the labor market," and when companies want to hire they can dip into this pool, instead of bidding up wages for workers who already have jobs, she explained.

* This will guarantee the deterioration of the economics, culture, schools, Society, and the country all together. Yay Dems.

Spravato...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administrationon approved Johnson & Johnson's nasal spray antidepressant that is chemically similar to often-abused ketamine, marking the first advance in treating depression in more than 30 years.

The treatment comes with a boxed warning, flagging the risk for sedation and difficulty with attention, judgment and thinking, abuse and misuse, and suicidal thoughts after administration of the drug.

Spravato is a chemical mirror image of anesthetic ketamine, which is abused as a recreational party drug.

Spravato has been touted as an asset with blockbuster potential and is expected to improve investor sentiment toward the growth prospects of J&J's pharma unit Janssen, as its top-selling rheumatoid arthritis drug Remicade faces increased competitiobn from cheaper biosimilars.

Bundy...

Wrestling legend King Kong Bundy, real name Christopher Alan Pallies, has died. He was 61.

The New Jersey native, who stood at 6-foot-4 and weighed in at 458 pounds, had a dominant wrestling career, and chalked up a record-fast win versus S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones at the very first WrestleMania.

Bundy main-evented WrestleMania 2, losing to Hulk Hogan in a steel cage match for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.

Pallies played two different roles on TV's "Married With Children" — first as Peggy's brother and then as his wrestling character — and appeared in Richard Pryor's "Moving." He also had a guest spot on "Boy Meets World" and did an episode of "Weird Science" as himself. 

Bundy's wrestling name was a combination of the monster King Kong and serial killer Ted Bundy. Also of note, the Bundys in "Married With Children" were named after Pallies' dominant WWE character.

Discuss...

The US and Russian military chiefs are to meet in Vienna to discuss operations in Syria, where the US has decided to leave a residual force to protect its Kurdish allies.

Since Russia's entry into the Syria conflict in 2015, Moscow and Washington have worked out their respective areas of operations against the Islamic State group, warning each other of planned air operations to avoid contact.

The military chiefs have kept open a channel of communications despite all issues.

In August 2018, Russia sent a confidential letter, which leaked, containing proposals for cooperation to assure Syria's reconstruction and the return of refugees.

Let us hope for the best for the Syrian children.  Just a thought.

Aaugh...

House Democrats will offer a resolution  condemning anti-Semitism in response to Rep. Ilhan Omar's latest remarks on Israel.

The declaration, supported by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, comes after Omar made new remarks about Israel that critics decried as anti-Semitic. She said "political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country."

The Anti-Defamation League has demanded that House Democrats offer a resolution that makes clear every member of Congress opposes anti-Semitism.

Democrats over the weekend drafted a resolution with that message. Its text was not final yet.

Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a state of emergency for the city effective at midnight Monday night, as a massive and dangerous snowstorm bore down on the area.

He is defending his decision to declare a snow day for the city’s 1.1 million public school kids and parents who didn't go to work to babysit the kids..

Joe Lhota, “Why exactly did we close public schools?” asked on Twitter, adding a photo of CBS’ John Elliott delivering the snowfall totals ranging from 1.6 inches in Bergen Beach, Brooklyn, to 3.8 inches in Central Park.

Seven hundred city trucks with salt wondering aimelessly in the city streets to protect the Mayor's image from being embarrassed again.

The Governor and I agree ...…?

Yay...

New York- Wisconsin.

Mismanaged...

Governor Andrew Cuomo begged Amazon to reconsider its decision to back out of plans to bring HQ2 to Queens after public criticism, while in northern Virginia, the company is facing protests and calls for hearings on a similar project.

Eighteen months after the e-commerce giant launched its search for a second headquarters, the company’s site-selection plans are no less controversial.   Critics say governments shouldn’t be lavishing subsidies on Amazon, whose presence is likely to drive up housing costs, middle and low income families out of the area and increase traffic congestion for Cuomo to tax the little people.

New York civic leaders published an open letter to Amazon, promising that Cuomo will personally oversee state approval and a package of tax incentives totaling about $3 billion, and apologizing for the “rough and not very welcoming” debate that prompted the company to withdraw. Cuomo himself didn’t sign the letter, but the New York Times reported that he had made a personal pitch to Bezos in an effort to revive the deal.

The letter, signed by local politicians and executives, appeared in the New York Times just hours after protesters disrupted a networking event in Arlington, Virginia, where hundreds of local real estate professionals had paid $200 each to hear from Holly Sullivan, Amazon’s head of economic development, talk about the company’s plans for an area in Virginia that Amazon has rebranded as National Landing.

Pay to play is not OK! 

Kama Sutra...

Roseanne Barr didn't hold back on the #MeToo movement in a new interview.

The 66-year-old comedian sat down with conservative commentator Candace Owens, where she mocked sexual assault accusers and the #MeToo movement "witch hunt."

"If you don't run out the room … but you stayed around because you're like, 'I thought maybe he was going to give me a writing job,' well, you ain't nothing but a ho," Barr said after asking why women were in men's hotel rooms late at night.  

Barr and Owens compared the feminist movement to white supremacy, while Barr added that #MeToo accusers are "pretending that they didn’t go to trade sexual favors for money." " ho privilege."

Then lashed out against Sen. Kamala Harris, nicknaming her "Kama Sutra Harris."

"We all know what she did … she slept her way to the bottom," Barr said, referring to the senator's former relationship with ex-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

Barr also took shots at Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, "She should be in prison," Barr said, adding that Ford used her "white woman privilege" to avoid time behind bars. She claimed that "nothing happened" to Ford. 

"Women are encouraged to be conniving," Barr said.

"Conniving little wimps," Owens agreed.
