Mike Johnson Says It's 'Unnecessary' For Trump To Release His Medical Records
While Trump previously told CBS News he would “very gladly” release his medical records, he has yet to do so. “Kamala Harris issued her medical records as a diversion because she’s desperate, because she’s sinking in the polls. “The medical records are irrelevant.”Advertisement"He doesn't require as much sleep as the average person.

CNN Tells Harris Not to Talk About the Economy
CNN has been at the forefront in pushing the Biden bad economy story in defiance of the data. It had two of my six favorite untruths about the Biden economy. Anyhow, given the work that CNN has put into trashing the Biden economy, it isn’t surprising that they would warn Harris away from talking about it. (Of course, 30-40 percent of voters will say the economy is bad out of loyalty to Donald Trump.) Given the track record of the Biden-Harris administration compared with the craziness being pushed by Donald Trump, it is understandable that backers of Donald Trump would not want Harris to talk about the economy.

Woman killed by malfunctioning ottoman bed
Helen Davey was killed when the mattress section of an ottoman bed fell on her. A 39-year-old British woman was killed when a malfunctioning ottoman bed fell on her neck and asphyxiated her, a coroner’s report said. Ottoman beds have a base that can be raised – usually using gas-lift hydraulics – to access a storage space underneath. The mattress platform on Davey’s bed fell unexpectedly, “trapping her neck against the upper surface of the side panel of the bed’s base,” Chipperfield explained. I dropped everything that I was holding and tried to lift the top of the bed off her head.

Trump’s social media stock is making an epic comeback as election nears – KION546
By Matt Egan, CNNNew York (CNN) — Former President Donald Trump’s social media company is on fire on Wall Street. Up until very recently, Trump Media & Technology Group had been in meltdown mode. Its share price dropped to a record low of $12.15 on September 23, marking a stunning 82% crash from its high. Trump Media did not announce a sudden revenue stream or a flashy new product that could explain the move. Beyond the election, Trump Media’s share price has benefited from the fact that the former president has held onto his stock.

In her 9/29 column, Althea Cole accuses Democrats of lying in their criticism of Project 2025. “I remember when it was supposedly disqualifying for a person seeking elected office to spread misinformation,” she writes.

NIST Issues New Quantum Crypto Standards for Cyberspace
Other public-key crypto standards, including the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and elliptic key cryptography, are similarly at risk. A general consensus is that quantum computers that can decrypt RSA-encrypted messages will be available in 2030. Eventually, these PQC standards will migrate into hardware implementations because that’s the lowest-cost, most power-efficient, and least expensive way to implement crypto standards. The crypto algorithms are built into the z16 computer’s HSM (Hardware Security Modules), which is a dedicated stack of crypto processors that includes a dedicated crypto acceleration processor. It’s going to take a while for more advanced implementations of these new FIPS PQC standards to become reality.

Berkeley professor, Los Angeles Times columnist speak in debate on the upcoming election
The center welcomed professor John Yoo from Berkeley Law and Harry Litman, senior legal affairs columnist at the Los Angeles Times, to the Carey Auditorium for a debate on issues relevant to the upcoming election. Both men have previously worked in multiple levels of government, including the executive branch and as clerks for Supreme Court justices. “There was more Trump prosecution, then there was a conviction, then the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, and then Trump got shot, Biden got deposed,” Muñoz said. The first topic discussed was the prosecution of former President Donald Trump and whether it was a threat to democracy. Both Yoo and Litman lamented the extreme political ecosystem under the two-party system, which has led to controversy regarding the 2024 campaign.

Explainer: 'Voting with your feet', migration to the south (of USA)
Some reasons: High tax and regulatory burdens, declining tech jobs (after post-covid spike), skyrocketing real estate prices. Weather, high traffic levels and crime only exacerbate the exodus. Texas also has a business-friendly environment, is located in central US, has low COL, light regulation, abundant energy. Texas also has high net in-migrant numbers because of its conservative republican political environment being a rare hub. Other factors are low taxes, a robust energy economy low COL and good weather in some hubs.

Florida was in the path of both storms, with Helene also hitting North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, while Milton headed for the open Atlantic. Trump has said the Biden administration’s storm response was lacking, particularly in western North Carolina after Helene.

Your guide to the presidential candidates’ views on tax policy
“We know that agenda — enhance the child tax credit, raise the corporate rate, tax high-income people.”Trump, he said, “has got a more tax cut orientation. That includes higher standard deductions, a lower top marginal tax rate, bigger child tax credits, lower estate taxes and certain deductions tailored for small businesses. The most expensive part of Harris’ tax plan would be an expansion of the child tax credit, to $3,000 per child — $3,600 for those under 5 years of age — and $6,000 for the first year. How to pay for tax cutsHarris would look to offset the loss of tax revenue by raising the corporate income tax rate to 28% and increasing the long-term capital gains and the net investment income tax for high earners. The Democrat has also proposed enacting a billionaire minimum tax and quadrupling the tax on stock buybacks — something corporations did a lot of with their windfalls from the 2017 tax cuts.
