Biden's lead over Trump is the steadiest on record

Sep. 8,  (CNN)New CBS News/YouGov polls reveal that former Vice President Joe Biden maintains his grip on the 2020 race for president.

Biden's up 52% to 42% over President Donald Trump among likely voters nationally, and he has a 50% to 44% edge over Trump in the key battleground state of Wisconsin as well.

Biden's 10 point and 6 point advantages are the exact same they were when CBS News/YouGov polled the contests before the party conventions.The polls are reflective of a race that barely budges even after two conventions, protests and unrest in some cities over police brutality and as the nation navigates the coronavirus pandemic. Indeed, the stability of this race is record breaking when looking at polling dating back to 1940...     more

'Cacophony of chaos': why the US election outcome is more uncertain than ever
Recent polls gave conflicting signals in race complicated by crises of public health, economic recession and racial injustice

Sep. 6 - ...The miasma of uncertainty was apparent over the past week when a batch of polls and burst of campaigning gave conflicting signals. Some observers were adamant they showed Biden holding on to a solid lead of seven or eight percentage points, higher than Clinton’s at the same stage, and praised him for displaying both empathy and steeliness in a series of speeches. “5 reasons Biden’s odds of victory look better than ever,” ran a headline in New York magazine on Thursday.

Others, however, detected a shift in momentum and polls tightening, especially in swing states. “Of course Trump can win,” ran a headline in the Washington Post. Film-maker Michael Moore wrote: “I’m warning you almost 10 weeks in advance. The enthusiasm level for the 60 million in Trump’s base is OFF THE CHARTS! For Joe, not so much.” There was panic that Biden has been thrown on to the back foot by Trump’s demand for “law and order”.

The sense of lost bearings is compounded by less traditional metrics, ranging from social media activity – Russian meddling and all – to anecdotal counts of campaign signs in voters’ front gardens to some pandemic-induced tactical wild cards. The Politico website reported last month: “Trump’s campaign knocks on a million doors a week. Biden’s knocks on zero.”

Overshadowing it all are the cascading crises of public health, economic recession, racial injustice and a president waging asymmetric warfare in his willingness to say or do anything to retain power...     source

The economy still has a mountain to climb, but it’s digging itself out faster than expected
Households, businesses are figuring out how to cope with coronavirus


Sep. 5 - Is the economy half-full or half-empty? That’s the burning question after a surprisingly upbeat U.S. jobs report for August.

The expiration of federal aid for the unemployed at the end of the July and the still-spreading coronvirus were supposed to put a big dent in the economy last month. But so far the evidence is thin.

To be sure, the pace of the recovery has decelerated. The U.S. is regaining jobs at a slower pace several months after the economy reopened, consumer spending has softened and businesses are still hesitant to invest.

Yet the economy is still expanding and looks likely to continue to do so. More people are going out to eat, states such as New York are easing coronavirus restrictions, schools around the country are trying to start back up and businesses are getting creative in making their premises safer for customers and employees alike.


“The big picture is that even in the face of a summer flare-up in virus cases, the U.S. economy managed to soldier on reasonably well,’ said Douglas Porter, chief economist of BMO Capital Markets.

The coronavirus hasn’t gone away and there’s still no cure, leaving many businesses in the lurch. Restaurants can’t fully reopen, brick-and-mortar retailers are bereft of traffic, airports are mostly empty, hotel rooms are largely unoccupied and the major sports leagues are either playing in bubbles or sharply limiting attendance. Life is far from normal...    source

U.S., Taiwan agree to promote alternatives to Chinese supply chain

Sep. 4 - Taipei, Sept. 4 (CNA) The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) have agreed to work closer together to restructure the global supply chain and make it more resilient, in an apparent attempt to avoid overreliance on China, especially in the ICT and medical sectors.


The agreement was made public in a joint statement issued on Friday by the AIT, the de facto U.S. embassy in Taiwan, and TAITRA, a Taiwanese government-supported trade promotion organization.

According to the statement, the partnership will focus on encouraging partners to bring supply chains closer to home or situate them in like-minded economies, and ensuring that supply chains are secure and free from political coercion...     more

This Labour Day, remember the workers who died because of Donald Trump's deadly pandemic response

Sep. 3 - From windows and rooftops through the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions around the world cheered essential workers on the frontlines who daily risked contracting this highly contagious disease. Janitors, grocery store workers, drivers, warehouse workers, letter carriers, food delivery people, teachers and transit workers, along with the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff caring for patients, all became heroes as the worst pandemic in a century swept the planet. Thousands of these frontline workers died.

As we celebrate Labor Day, traditionally marked by cookouts and beaches followed by the return to school, we should honor these fallen heroes -- by wearing masks, social distancing, and fighting for a science-driven course correction to this country's catastrophic pandemic response. President Donald Trump must invoke the Defense Production Act, making hundreds of millions of free masks and tests available, coupled with contact tracing, isolation and quarantine...     more

DHS's Wolf: Trump admin 'working on' Black Lives Matter charges
Team Trump will take seriously the possibility of a perceived domestic security threat, but only if it fits into their ideological predispositions.

Sep 1 - ...Fox News' Tucker Carlson pressed the acting Homeland Security chief on possible criminal charges against "the leaders of antifa and BLM." Wolf said he'd spoken directly to Attorney General Bill Barr about this, adding, "I know that they are working on it."

The acting secretary added that the Justice Department is “targeting and investigating the head of these organizations, the individuals that are paying for these individuals to move across the country.” Asked about punishing protest "funders," Wolf went on to say, “Again, I would say that again the Department of Justice, who has the lead in all of those investigations, are certainly moving as quickly as possible."

A few hours earlier, Donald Trump stood at the podium in the White House briefing room and declared, "The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice are announcing a joint operation center to investigate the violent, left-wing civil unrest."

The president, naturally, made no reference to right-wing violence...     more

China ramping up nuclear arsenal and missile forces to rival US, Pentagon says

Sep. 2 - China is building up its nuclear and missile forces and mobilising vast resources to rival the Pentagon, the US Defense Department said in its annual report on Chinese military power, which concluded that the country's armed forces in some areas had eclipsed the US military.

The report, released Wednesday (NZ time) by the Pentagon, comes as the US military shifts its focus from Middle East counterinsurgencies that have dominated its operations for two decades toward a possible future conflict with China and Russia, in what defence leaders have dubbed "an era of great power competition."

China's armed forces, the Pentagon said, not only are acquiring sophisticated new technology and weaponry but also are overhauling their organisational structures, as China aims to complete a military modernisation by 2035 and establish a "world-class military" that can rival or exceed that of the United States by 2049.

Beijing's goal, the report says, is then to leverage its new military might to achieve its foreign-policy objectives in the Western Pacific and to assert itself globally...     more

President Donald Trump defended the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, saying the 17-year-old 'probably would have been killed' by an angry mob if he hadn't fired at them with the illegal gun he was carrying. 'He was trying to get away from them I guess, it looks like, and he fell on then they very violently attacked him,' Trump said in response to a question from DailyMail.com on Monday.  'It was something that we are looking at right now and it's under investigation, but I guess he was in very big trouble. He probably would've been killed. It's under investigation,' he added.
