Breaking News: Trump’s Treasury Department is lying about its own analysis of the tax bill - News Paper

Gambar
Kinda fishy, don’t you think? It doesn’t involve an inappropriate tweet or casual racism, but Alan Rappeport’s scoop about the Trump administration lying about its own internal analysis of the Republican tax plan deserves to go down as one of the most shocking stories of 2017. And the mild-mannered headline “Ahead of Vote, Promised Treasury Analysis of Tax Bill Proves Elusive” doesn’t come close to doing it justice. Here’s the issue. For months now, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has been saying that his team will release a “dynamic” analysis of the Republican tax plan that will reveal its growth-boosting effects to be so incredible that they put deficit worries to rest. On September 28, he even said that his in-house analysis indicated the bill would reduce the deficit by $1 trillion rather than increase it. That’s never seemed remotely plausible to me, but it’s clear that a lot of Republicans on Capitol Hill are counting on something in that neighborhood coming true to make t...

Breaking News: 5 women have now alleged sexual misconduct against Sen. Al Franken - News Paper

Gambar
One more came forward Thursday. Another woman has accused Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) of sexual misconduct, bringing the total number of women who have come forward with allegations against the lawmaker to five. CNN’s MJ Lee reports that Stephanie Kemplin, an army veteran, says Franken groped her breast during a photo op that took place while he was on a USO tour in 2003. "When he put his arm around me, he groped my right breast. He kept his hand all the way over on my breast," Kemplin told Lee. She said the touching lasted five to 10 seconds and that “it was long enough that he should have known if it was an accident.” A spokesperson for Franken issued a statement saying that Franken has taken “thousands of photos” and “never intentionally engaged in this kind of conduct.” But three other women have also come forward to say that Franken inappropriately touched them during photo ops. And another, Leeann Tweeden, says that Franken forcibly kissed her and then groped her whil...

Breaking News: How sexual harassment might make the gender pay gap even worse - News Paper

Gambar
One economist found that women received a pay bump in fields with higher rates of harassment. But “danger pay” isn’t the whole story. Sexual harassment in offices, newsroom, movie studios, and the halls of Congress has exploded in the media consciousness in 2017, but it’s most certainly not new — or rare. In the last decade, researchers have examined how often sexual harassment happens ( frequently ) and how effective tools are aimed at preventing it ( not very ). But relatively little research exists on how sexual harassment in the workplace affects salaries. But one study suggests that there is a connection between the two. Joni Hersch, an economist and professor of law and economics at Vanderbilt University, published a study on women’s pay and sexual harassment in 2011. She found that women employed in workplaces where sexual harassment is common earn a bit more than they would in jobs with a lower risk. Elise Gould, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, assessed ...

News Today: 17 Warning Signs About Matt Lauer NBC Blatantly Ignored

Gambar
The "Today" host had a documented history of disturbing and sexist behavior. NBC News  announced  on November 29 that it fired  Today  host Matt Lauer after “a detailed complaint” was filed about "inappropriate sexual behavior that took place during the 2014 Sochi Olympics.” The complaint also noted that Lauer’s “alleged behavior continued in the workplace after the games.” Lauer has a  well-documented history  of disturbing and sexist behavior that should have served as a warning sign to management long before this recent investigation took place. Here are just a few examples: According to  The New York Times Magazine , Lauer was part of “the boys’ club atmosphere behind the scenes” at  Today , which Curry said “undermined her from the start” and was partially responsible for pushing her out in 2013. In 2012, former  Today  host Katie Couric  told  Andy Cohen that Lauer’s most “annoying” trait was that he ...

My Samsung Grand 2 keeps booting to Recovery Mode! Help!

Hello Redditers, My Samsung Grand 2 started doing some funny business like lowering volume by itself, showing that the headphones are connected although their not, and that's about it. I decided to factory reset it, and one week later it is still showing the same screen every time I boot it up. I have tried every single way of recovery but they all didn't work. Here is what I did: I removed the battery, I turned it off normally, I turned it off removing the battery, I booted it clicking some buttons like volume down, and I have tried connecting it to my computer(It didn't detect the phone). Thanks. Submitted November 30, 2017 at 08:17PM by MeqDial http://ift.tt/2zEDu6j
