POLITICO PLAYBOOK

POLITICO Playbook: Trump to up the ante on asylum rules

By JAKE SHERMAN and ANNA PALMER 

07/15/2019 05:50 AM EDT

Presented by

DRIVING THE DAY

NEW … THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is readying a new DOJ/DHS rule for asylum claims at the southern border. The administration is set to begin briefing senior figures on Capitol Hill today. The administration has been eager to have Congress change asylum laws. But it appears as if the White House is taking matters into its own hands.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEK … WE ARE NOW in the last two weeks before the August recess. There needs to be a good deal of progress this week in talks between Treasury Secretary STEVEN MNUCHIN and Speaker NANCY PELOSI if there is a chance to get a budget and debt limit deal before Congress splits for the summer. It’s looking more and more likely that Congress will have to hike the debt limit without a budget deal, however, simply because there are just 8 DAYS left in session.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP doubled down Sunday night on his tweets that Democratic lawmakers should “go back and help fix” countries they came from.

WHAT HE TWEETED — @realDonaldTrump at 8:02 p.m.: “So sad to see the Democrats sticking up for people who speak so badly of our Country and who, in addition, hate Israel with a true and unbridled passion. Whenever confronted, they call their adversaries, including Nancy Pelosi, ‘RACIST.’ Their disgusting language…..”

“….and the many terrible things they say about the United States must not be allowed to go unchallenged. If the Democrat Party wants to continue to condone such disgraceful behavior, then we look even more forward to seeing you at the ballot box in 2020!”

IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTION that the Republican Party has fully become the party of the president … NOT ONE elected Republicanhas called out TRUMP for his go-home remark.

FROM 30,000 FEET — NYT’S PETER BAKER: “When it comes to race, Mr. Trump plays with fire like no other president in a century. While others who occupied the White House at times skirted close to or even over the line, finding ways to appeal to the resentments of white Americans with subtle and not-so-subtle appeals, none of them in modern times fanned the flames as overtly, relentlessly and even eagerly as Mr. Trump.” NYT

ABOUT THOSE IMMIGRATION RAIDS … “As immigrant families wait in dread, no sign of large-scale enforcement raids,” by WaPo’s Abigail Hauslohner and Nick Miroff: “The nationwide immigration raids that President Trump said would begin Sunday failed to materialize on the streets of major U.S. cities, even as his statement cast a cloud of fear that kept many families indoors.

“Immigration enforcement authorities said their plans to track down migrants with deportation orders would continue, but their operations over the weekend appeared more akin to routine actions rather than the mass roundups the president promised.” WaPo

INSIDE THE WEST WING — MULVANEY RISING: “‘His own fiefdom’: Mulvaney builds ‘an empire for the right wing’ as Trump’s chief of staff,” by WaPo’s Seung Min Kim, Lisa Rein, Josh Dawsey and Erica Werner

MORE CABINET TURNOVER COMING? — “Trump weighs ousting Commerce chief Wilbur Ross after census defeat,” by NBC’s Hans Nichols, Kayla Tausche and Hallie Jackson: “President Donald Trump has told aides and allies that he is considering removing Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross after a stinging Supreme Court defeat on adding a citizenship question to the census, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations.

“While Trump has previously expressed frustration with the 81-year-old Ross, in particular over failed trade negotiations, Ross’s long personal relationship with the president has allowed him to keep his job. And after the departure of Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, the Cabinet’s only Hispanic who resigned on Friday amid questions about his role in a controversial 2008 plea agreement with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Ross may yet receive another reprieve.

“But some White House officials expect Ross to be the next Cabinet secretary to depart, possibly as soon as this summer, according to advisers and officials.” NBC

NEW … IF YOU’VE WATCHED THE NRCC this cycle, you will notice that the GOP’s House campaign arm has focused a good deal on branding incumbent House Democrats as socialists. This is part of a strategy: They believe Democrats have veered far outside the bounds of the traditional Democratic Party, and voters are not going to stand for it. The NRCC is launching socialistshowdown.com today. It’s a ploy to try to foster primary challenges for House Democrats. The banner of the website features Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar next to Fidel Castro and Vladimir Lenin.

Good Monday morning.

A message from PhRMA:

Some policymakers want government to set prices for Medicare Part B based on those mandated by foreign countries. That means seniors may face restricted access to medicines and could wait years to get new medicines – just like they do in those countries. The International Pricing Index Model is the for Medicare.

WAPO’S CAROL MORELLO: “Pompeo grants visa to Iran’s top diplomat to visit New York but limits his movements”: “Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday night that he granted a visa to Iran’s foreign minister to visit New York primarily to meet U.S. obligations to the United Nations but that his movements will be sharply curtailed.

“Pompeo said in a telephone interview that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his delegation will be permitted to travel between U.N. headquarters and the Iranian mission six blocks away, and to the residence of Iran’s U.N. ambassador nearby. The group arrived in New York on Sunday morning. ‘U.S. diplomats don’t roam around Tehran, so we don’t see any reason for Iranian diplomats to roam freely around New York City, either,’ Pompeo said.

“‘It’s absolutely appropriate that we provide Foreign Minister Zarif and his delegation with all the rights that they are due under the U.N. headquarters agreement, and nothing more than that,’ he added.” WaPo

2020 WATCH … KNOWING KAMALA — “Is Kamala Harris a defender of the status quo or a force for change?” by The New Yorker’s Dana Goodyear

— NYT’S KATIE GLUECK in Atkinson, N.H.: “Joe Biden Decides He Doesn’t Need to Stay Above the Fray After All”: “The settings on Mr. Biden’s trip were idyllic: a speech on the banks of a river in Dover, a news conference outside of a Portsmouth ice cream shop, a house party in a lush backyard here in Atkinson. But the words suggested that the former vice president is entering a new and more confrontational phase of his 2020 campaign.

“Mr. Biden’s fresh efforts to highlight distinctions with his rivals — over issues that ranged this weekend from health care and foreign policy, to electability and executive orders — come as he seeks to move on from weeks of scrutiny of his decades-long record, and to offer a more substantive and forward-looking vision beyond his early focus on defeating the president.

“He drew some of the starkest distinctions to date between himself and other top-polling candidates on the issue of health care. Those comments earned a rare direct rebuke from Senator Bernie Sanders, who, like several other leading candidates aside from Mr. Biden, supports Medicare for All, a sweeping single-payer proposal that would all but eliminate private health insurance. In an interview, Mr. Sanders bristled at Mr. Biden’s remarks, and said some of his characterizations of Medicare for All were ‘totally absurd.’” NYT

— “Beto O’Rourke says ancestor owned slaves,” by David Siders: “Beto O’Rourke said Sunday that he and his wife, Amy, are descended from people who owned slaves. In a post on the website Medium and in an email to supporters, the Democratic presidential candidate said he was recently given documents showing that a paternal great-great-great grandfather of his owned two women in the 1850s.

“Their names — Rose and Eliza — were listed among the man’s possessions on a property log, he said. O’Rourke, a former Texas congressman, said it is also likely that a maternal great-great-great grandfather owned slaves in the 1860s. He said his wife had one ancestor who owned slaves and another who was in the Confederate Army.” POLITICO … Medium post

— “‘Stand up for what we believe in’: Only Pete Buttigieg gets standing ovation from Corn Feed audience,” by Des Moines Register’s Stephen Gruber-Miller and Barbara Rodriguez

A BIG CONGRATS — DANIEL LIPPMAN, who has been a generous colleague over the past three years since we took over Playbook, is transitioning to full-time reporting at POLITICO.

Here’s Paul Volpe’s email to the newsroom: “We’re pleased to announce that Daniel Lippman, who has been burning the candle at both ends by co-writing Playbook seven days a week over the last five-plus years while contributing a steady stream of scoops, will focus exclusively on original reporting as of July 15.

“He’ll be bringing his deep Rolodex and knowledge of Washington’s power players to a beat that is both vintage Daniel — harnessing his unique knack for finding out who in D.C. is doing what, and why – and vintage POLITICO. Just the last few days shows the range of Daniel’s talents: He reported out a great read on President Trump’s obsession with hand sanitizer, co-bylined a smart story with the Defense team on incoming Joint Chiefs chairman Mark Milley and joined forces with Halley Toosi for a quick look at the outgoing British ambassador. And he did this all while keeping tabs on the pulse of Playbook’s community of influential and demanding readers.

“Daniel is a generous colleague with a proven ability to generate leads and crack open sources, so we’re looking forward to seeing how he grows into his new role. Please congratulate him on his promotion.

“As for Playbook, Anna and Jake will be at the helm as always, along with Eli Okun and Garrett Ross, who will be owning the Playbookers section from now on. Daniel will still write the popular ‘Great Weekend Reads’ section on Saturdays and Sundays.” Washingtonian Q&A with Daniel on his move

— NOTE FROM DANIEL: The last five-plus years working on Playbook have been an amazing and wonderful ride, and I will always cherish this chapter in my life. It’s been gratifying to see the Playbook community grow over the years, and I love how passionate Playbookers are about their newsletter. I’m grateful to every source and reader who wrote in with tips or just feedback about Playbook. And I’m very excited for my next role at POLITICO so please send over tips and story ideas to: Daniel@politico.com.

TODAY’S OUTRAGE — “American Woman Loses Custody Battle for Daughter in Saudi Arabia,” by NYT’s Vivian Yee in Beirut: “[A]s an American woman living in Saudi Arabia, [Bethany] Vierra has navigated a punishing legal maze ever since she first asked her Saudi ex-husband for a divorce in 2017, then opened custody proceedings last November.

“Though she succeeded with the divorce, her custody battle appeared to dead end on Sunday, when a Saudi judge awarded custody of Zeina to her father’s mother, who lives with him, despite video evidence Ms. Vierra submitted to the court that she said showed her ex-husband doing drugs and verbally abusing her in front of their daughter.” NYT

FOR YOUR RADAR — “López Obrador’s cost-cutting spree is transforming Mexico — and drawing blowback from bureaucrats,” by WaPo’s Mary Beth Sheridan in Mexico City

— WSJ: “Mexico’s Economy Falters as U.S. Chugs Along,” by Robbie Whelan in Mexico City and Anthony Harrup: “Mexico is slipping toward a recession even as the U.S. economy continues to grow, the first time in 25 years that the neighbors’ economic cycles have fallen sharply out of sync.”

— AP/BEIJING: “China’s economic growth slowed to its lowest level in a decade in the quarter ending in June, adding to pressure on Chinese leaders as they fight a tariff war with Washington.

“The world’s second-largest economy grew 6.2% over a year ago, down from the previous quarter’s 6.4%, government data showed Monday. That was the weakest growth since the first quarter of 2009 in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

“Forecasters had expected China’s economy to rebound in late 2018 but pushed back that target after President Donald Trump hiked U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports to pressure Beijing over its efforts to develop advanced technologies. Now, economists say the slowdown might extend into next year.” AP

VALLEY TALK — “Peter Thiel Urges U.S. Probe of Google’s ‘Seemingly Treasonous’ Acts,” by Bloomberg’s Max Chafkin: “Peter Thiel, one of President Donald Trump’s top Silicon Valley supporters and donors, took aim at Google Inc. and the high-tech industry over the companies’ focus on global markets while brushing aside U.S. interests.

“He singled out Google for agreeing to work closely with China, trying to get its search engine back into the Chinese market, while deciding to let lapse a U.S. defense department contract that gave the military access to its artificial intelligence tools.” Bloomberg

— NOTE: Thiel is a Facebook board member. He was speaking at the National Conservatism Conference, “a new event that bills itself as being focused on Trump-era nationalism,” per Axios.

MEDIAWATCH — “Iran spy TV show glorifies hard-liners imprisoning reporter,” by AP’s Jon Gambrell in Tehran: “The Farsi caption has unfurled across the black screen of a channel of Iranian state television every night for days now, promising viewers that what they are about to witness is ‘based on a real case.’

“But the slick graphics, chase scenes and gunfights of ‘Gando’ serve a far different purpose — trying to offer justification of Iran’s detention, closed-door trial and imprisonment of Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian.”AP

— “Fallout over offensive Buttigieg article: Magazine’s owner apologizes but a sponsor cuts ties,” by CNN’s Jackie Wattles: “The League of Conservation Voters is cutting ties with an upcoming forum on climate change after the co-host for the event, The New Republic, published an ‘offensive’ article about Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.

“Gene Karpinski, LCV’s president, said in a statement Saturday that the piece about Buttigieg and The New Republic’s decision to run it ‘are inconsistent with our values.’” CNN

— Wendy Benjaminson, Bloomberg’s tax team leader, will take on the role of politics editor.

A message from PhRMA:

The United States has the only health system in the world that relies on market competition, saving the government and seniors a total of $132 billion from 2005 to 2017 in Part B medicine spending. That’s because Part B’s market-based reimbursement system, which was implemented in 2005, incorporates discounts, rebates and price concessions negotiated across the U.S. market, providing millions of seniors with access to medicines that are used to treat some of the most complex diseases like cancer and autoimmune conditions. Some in Washington want to end this and instead set payment based on the prices mandated by foreign governments that seriously restrict patient access to medicines. Why would we take that risk here in the United States? Any changes to Medicare should help patients, not hurt them. Limiting seniors’ access to lifesaving treatments based on the choices of foreign countries is the wrong prescription for Medicare.

THE FLIP SIDE

View this email in your browser Monday, July 15, 2019 Obamacare in Jeopardy Last Tuesday, a federal appeals court heard arguments “in a 2018 lawsuit [against the ACA, also known as Obamacare] by 18 Republican-leaning states claiming that the absence of a tax converts the law into an unconstitutional directive to U.S. citizens to buy a product. A lower court judge ruled in December that it did, and that the entire law must fall as a result…

[the judges]

seemed inclined Tuesday to rule that the core provision of President Barack Obama’s signature health care law is unconstitutional… It was less clear after the arguments whether the judges also would invalidate the entire health care law.” AP News

From the Left The left believes the lawsuit to be without merit and thinks the ACA should remain in place, but is divided on future healthcare policies. “Obamacare, the [challengers’] argument goes, is an intricately designed system. Lawmakers at the time of its passage believed that the law’s individual-mandate payment, a charge on those who went without health-care coverage, was a key piece of that system, compelling enough healthy people to buy into the insurance pool to keep its finances stable. Republicans zeroed out the payment in their 2017 tax-cut law, which, the challengers argue for complex but unpersuasive reasons, rendered the mandate unconstitutional. And, without the mandate, the system cannot work as its drafters anticipated, so the whole law must go…    “Yet Congress made a different call when it zeroed out the mandate payment in 2017… For the 5th Circuit to rule that Obamacare could not function as designed without the mandate — despite the fact that congressional intentions, as of 2017, were to have it function without the mandate — would require the appellate judges to replace their policy judgment for that of the policymakers in Congress, in effect to usurp the legislative function.” Editorial Board, Washington Post “It’s clear that the Trump administration and some supposedly conservative judges are doing exactly what they so often accuse liberal judges of doing: Pretending that they are legislators.” David Leonhardt, New York Times   “It’s not just that 21 million people would probably lose health insurance, or that 133 million Americans with pre-existing conditions would lose their protection… health plans could also begin limiting the total amount of financial protection they offer customers, increasing deductibles, charging higher prices to older customers, and dropping expensive categories of benefits, like prescription drugs.” Margot Sanger-Katz, New York Times   Many argue that “despite relentless Republican attacks, the benefits provided [by the ACA] — guaranteed insurance and coverage of pre-existing conditions — are now seen by many as a benefit to which they’re entitled. Moving to Medicare for those who want it is a logical next step toward a single-payer option, one that maintains choice for millions of Americans… “56% of Americans say they support full Medicare for All… [but] when voters are presented with the full details of the Sanders and Warren plans, support falls dramatically… I believe it’s critical for Democrats to maintain their advantage on health care going into 2020, and the best way to do that is to reject Medicare for All and embrace Medicare for those who want it.” Joe Lockhart, CNN   Others counter that “those who lean to the left are repeatedly castigated for embracing Medicare-for-all minus a detailed and specific outline for how it will be paid for, while Republicans are rarely challenged on how repealing the ACA will weaken the entire American health-care system as we know it. At the same time, many believe the Republicans are fighting the ACA as a show for their rabid base, and aren’t serious about taking it out. As a result, all too many can’t bring themselves to accept that Republicans might be for real, that they want to destroy the ACA, and they don’t much care about what happens

[to]

individual Americans or the entire health-care system…

“It would be one of the great ironies of all time if it were Donald Trump and the Republican Party who all but forced people to turn to the ‘socialist’ Medicare system to save health care. But it’s an irony that’s increasingly not outside the realm of possibility.”
Helaine Olen, Washington Post

From the Right The right is skeptical of the lawsuit and critical of the alternatives being offered by the Democratic candidates. “Whereas many prominent legal thinkers on the Right expressed support for the

[previous lawsuits challenging Obamacare]

, there is a dearth of prominent voices in support of the plaintiffs’ theory here. I don’t think that’s an accident. [The previous cases] were grounded in foundational aspects of conservative legal jurisprudence (the notion of limited federal power and textualist statutory interpretation, respectively). [This one], on the other hand, is a too-clever attempt at legal jujitsu that requires discarding traditional conservative approaches to standing, statutory interpretation and severability.”
Jonathan Adler, Volokh Conspiracy

Moreover, “the GOP has failed to sell their plan on health care to voters in a way that would prevent them from being blown up at the ballot box. It’s never easy campaigning on a platform that is viewed as taking away people’s stuff… while symbolically this could be a win, the GOP has failed to plan for the fallout [from] something like this.”
Matt Vespa, Townhall

“If the Affordable Care Act were to lose in court, and Congress and the president failed to agree on legislation afterward, Americans would go through the largest disruption in health-care arrangements that Washington has ever imposed… In turn, that would create a political problem for Republicans. They have long said they wish to repeal Obamacare while making sure that its beneficiaries, especially those with pre-existing conditions, have access to affordable coverage. If a lawsuit they launched succeeds in delivering the first half of that agenda, voters will expect them to deliver the second… 

“[In order to do so] either the Republicans would have to compromise with the Democrats in the end, or they would accept inaction and blame it on the Democrats for not going along with their conservative ideas. The Democrats’ case – ‘We are ready to pass a simple extension of the law and protect everyone’ — would likely go over better with voters. Republican senators up for re-election in swing states might find the pressure to side with the Democrats irresistible.”
Ramesh Ponnuru, Bloomberg

Many, however, point out that “if [Obamacare is struck down], President Trump has made clear time and again that he wants Congress to pass a replacement law that maintains guaranteed coverage for Americans with pre-existing conditions… President Trump would be waiting with pen in hand if Congress were to send him such a bill. The truth is, he had that pen in hand in 2017 when the House passed that very bill, but one down-turned thumb by a GOP Senator killed [it].”
Mike Huckabee, Fox News

Regarding alternatives, some caution that “a public option would put the country on an inexorable course to single payer. For starters, the public option wouldn’t need to cover its costs. It can’t go bankrupt—it’s backed by the federal treasury. Second, supporters of the public option envision paying doctors and hospitals at rates similar to those paid by Medicare, which are, of course, much lower than those for private insurers… 

“The consequences would be predictable. Large numbers of people would sign up for the low-cost government plan. Doctors and hospitals, forced to treat more people at below-market rates, would raise their prices for the privately insured. These insurers would pass those higher prices along to their customers in the form of higher premiums. The cycle would repeat, until everyone had fled their old private insurers for the low-cost government-run plan. At that point, the public option would be the only option.”

President Trump sees his handling of an immigration crisis, deportation roundups and fiery tweets about the border as key to mobilizing his supporters in 2020.   It’s one of the reasons he publicly championed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation arrests of undocumented migrant families before they began this weekend, ignoring the element of surprise in favor of the politics of publicly being in charge.   “They’re going to take people out, and they’re going to bring them back to their countries,” the president said last week. “Or they’re going to take criminals out — put them in prison or put them in prison in the countries they came from.”   Weekend ICE arrests of undocumented migrants were coordinated but small in number, and the operation is expected to continue this week.   “Trump can declare victory — he already scared the hell out of people,” Bill O. Hing, a University of San Francisco law professor and the director of the university’s Immigration and Deportation Defense Clinic, told The Washington Post. “There has been so much drama all over the country.”   Trump’s tough-on-immigration rhetoric, playing out over many months, has succeeded in drawing sharp contrasts with Democratic presidential candidates and members of Congress, all of whom the president describes as more aligned with “alien” lawbreakers than U.S. citizens whose taxes pay the freight.   “Where are the Democrats on this?” asked former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), a Fox News contributor, applauding the administration’s deportation raids. “When you’ve gone through the final adjudication and a judge has ordered you to depart the country, how can we not all be united in say, then you have to leave? We’re not a nation where you just ignore a judge’s order. But that’s the position Democrats are taking, and it is fundamentally wrong.”   The president’s crackdown on asylum-seekers and migrants in the United States may play to his image among 51 percent of Americans as a strong and decisive leader, but when it comes to actually delivering necessary change, managing the government effectively, keeping his promises, and being honest and trustworthy, Trump gets decidedly lower marks, according to a Gallup Poll released last week.   It’s the kind of survey that would give any incumbent president heartburn because voters — who took a chance in 2016 on a newcomer with no previous government experience and a penchant for blaming others when goals remain elusive — can gauge what a second term might have in store.   Like clockwork, Trump tweeted about his strong support among Republicans; the newest NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll found 89 percent job approval within his party. The poll also found majority support from older, white males and rural voters. But political analysts believe Trump cannot win reelection simply by appealing to that older, working-class, male slice of the electorate. The president is on wobbly footing among independent voters, women, African Americans, Latinos and younger voters. And a mere 7 percent of Democrats approve of the job he’s doing, according to the NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll..   Immigration remains a polarizing issue that cuts for and against Trump. The practice of separating migrant families and keeping migrant children fenced in disturbing government facilities for long periods is deeply unpopular with a majority of Americans, and House Democrats plan hearings today and Tuesday to drive that message home.    Friday’s news coverage from McAllen, Texas, of Vice President Pence’s visit to a hot, stinking, overcrowded detention hangar with no beds, clean clothes or regular showers for 400 men penned up for three or four weeks was described as “tough stuff” by Pence. He brought the cameras and journalists with him to see what he called “a crisis.”   Trump, however, lashed out at the news media and critics of his migrant policies. He says conditions are adequate but meant to be harsh enough to send a message of deterrence to undocumented migrants. “Tell them not to come to USA, and tell the Dems to fix the Loopholes – Problem Solved!” he tweeted on Sunday.   Pence’s tour, the president argued, showcased a “clean” but crowded detention facility for men that was “loaded up with a big percentage of criminals.” It was an assertion never uttered on Friday by the vice president or Department of Homeland Security officials who accompanied Pence and Republican senators who are members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.   The New York Times: ICE begins low-key arrests over the weekend targeting undocumented migrant families, part of a deportation operation focused on an estimated 2,000 people and expected to continue this week.   The Washington Post: Trump stirred alarm among immigrants after trumpeting mass roundups across cities. Routine enforcement operations have ensued.   Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot: Why Chicago will not assist ICE in its raids.   The Associated Press: Some churches offer targeted migrant families safe haven.   The Washington Post: Administration opens another 2,500-bed migrant detention facility in Texas.   More from the administration… White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney builds a conservative fiefdom while he lets “Trump be Trump” (The Washington Post) … Trump weighs ousting Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross following census setback ruling by Supreme Court (NBC News) … Trump is more animatedly discussing replacing Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, a change he has mulled since February (Axios) …  Here’s how Trump selected conservative economist Judy Shelton for the Federal Reserve (The Hill).

LEADING THE DAY

CONGRESS: Nothing unites House Democrats more than actions by Trump, and that was evidenced once again Sunday after the president attacked “the Squad” of progressive lawmakers, telling them to “go back” to the countries they came from. This prompted universal condemnation from Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and moderate House Democrats despite weeks of tumult within the House Democratic Caucus.    The president’s tweets, which wrongly stated that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) are from countries outside the United States (Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, was born in Mogadishu, Somalia) brought a brief respite to the ongoing fight in the conference and allowed House Democrats to train their fire on the president. Pelosi led the way, assailing Trump for reaffirming “his plan to ‘Make America Great Again’ has always been about making America white again.”   “Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power,” Pelosi tweeted. “I reject @realDonaldTrump’s xenophobic comments meant to divide our nation. Rather than attack Members of Congress, he should work with us for humane immigration policy that reflects American values. Stop the raids – #FamiliesBelongTogether!”   Pelosi went on to retweet multiple House Democratic lawmakers who responded to Trump, including Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), as part of her response to the president. Trump was unfazed and continued to attack the progressive lawmakers Sunday night, saying that it was “so sad to see the Democrats sticking up” for them.   Despite being unified against Trump on Sunday, Pelosi is still facing the ongoing feud with the group of high-profile progressives as House members return to Washington on Monday with a smorgasbord of items on the agenda before lawmakers leave town at the end of next week for the six-week August recess.   With infighting headlining House Democrats in recent weeks amid a bitter dispute between centrist and progressive members, the House will take on a new challenge next week: passing legislation to raise the minimum wage for the first time in more than a decade.   According to Cristina Marcos, the battle splits liberals from moderates in the caucus, and threatens to further stoke simmering tensions in the new majority. While progressives want a clean bill to raise the wage on the House floor, there is expected to be a vote on an amendment backed by Blue Dog Democrats to study the economic impact of the first two wage increases outlined by the legislation.    “We should just do a clean bill, send it to the Senate, and let [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell and those people try to destroy this as opposed to us eating ourselves on it,” said progressive Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.).   Jonathan Allen: Amid “race card” allegations, Pelosi teaches Ocasio-Cortez a math lesson.   The New York Times analysis: Trump fans the flames of a racial fire.   CNN: Frightened GOP won’t make Trump pay a price for his tweet.   The Hill: House and Senate head for showdown on must-pass defense bill.

Mitt Romney (R-Utah) has taken the lead on talks in the conference. He also is coordinating closely with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, including a meeting between the three on Thursday. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is also working with Romney on a plan, something lawmakers say is necessary given how ill-prepared the GOP was to deal with the issue in 2017. Lawmakers say that’s a driving force behind talks.    “If there’s one thing we learned from the ObamaCare fight two years ago: We better be prepared in advance with more specificity as to what our plans our,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), noting that she’s talked to Romney about a possible plan.    The Hill: GOP struggles to find backup plan for avoiding debt default.

IN FOCUS/SHARP TAKES

2020 POLITICS & CAMPAIGNS: Although Democrats leveled accusations of racism against the president Sunday, some Democrats are starting to point the finger at each other as allegations of racial insensitivity are flying between 2020 Democratic contenders and House Democrats. Among other issues, the accusations are raising concerns that internecine squabbles over identity and race could tarnish party leaders and distract Democrats from their goal of making Trump a one-term president.   The racially-charged controversies, which have swirled around former Vice President Joe Biden and Pelosi among others, have also put a spotlight on the party’s generational divide. Longtime Democratic leaders are facing new scrutiny over their past records and are being called out on their rhetoric, which has in some cases offended the younger generation of liberals, leading frustrated lawmakers to say the backbiting over race has gotten out of control.    Meanwhile, Republicans are relishing watching the fight from the sidelines, describing it as the culmination of the left’s obsession with identity politics.   “It’s damaging to this party and the internal workings of the Democratic Party,” said Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.). “I can tell you it’s not helpful.”   Niall Stanage: South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg makes new pitch to attract black voters.   The Washington Post: Democrats debate how far left is too far left as they prepare to take on Trump.   Julie Pace: In Biden and Buttigieg, Democrats confront generational divide.   Dan Balz: Is Biden ready to fight back against his rivals?   > Warren goes everywhere: As Democrats across the 2020 spectrum spend the lion’s share of their time in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has adopted a different strategy as she campaigns across the country and looks ahead to Super Tuesday states.   Warren’s campaign travels have taken her many states that vote on Super Tuesday, when 14 states will hold primary contests, along with other states that are slated to vote after those primaries and caucuses. Warren has been to more than 20 states, including Alabama, Utah and Colorado, all three of which are among the 14 states voting on March 3, 2020. Additionally, she paid a visit to Puerto Rico, which won’t hold its primary until June 7, 2020.   “Every single day we organize across the country as we lay the groundwork to have a large movement of grass-roots supporters that will own a piece of this campaign and be in the fight with us,” said Chris Hayden, a Warren spokesman (The Hill).

© Getty Images     > Digital strategy: Some Democratic presidential candidates are upending the conventional playbook for online outreach, cobbling together digital operations that allow their campaigns to be more agile and push into new platforms such as specialized applications in an acknowledgement that the 2020 election will largely be waged online.    Warren’s campaign has kept its content creation and digital ad-buying operations in-house, while Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D-N.Y.) team began taking similar steps in May. Meanwhile, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has created a digital media juggernaut pivoting on live video and an organizing app designed to allow a massive community of volunteers and supporters to feed information to the campaign’s voter database (The Hill).   The Associated Press: Biden aggressively defends ObamaCare.    The Hill: House Democrats’ campaign arm raises over $29 million in second quarter.

THE CLOSER

And finally … Saturday marks the 50th anniversary of the first humans to land on the moon, when NASA’s Apollo 11 lunar mission and its astronauts held the world spellbound in 1969 and beat the Soviets in the space race. Twelve astronauts in total walked on the lunar surface, conducted research and brought moon rocks back to Earth for study as part of the Apollo program. NASA now wants to return to the moon as a workstation for manned space travel to Mars.   “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade …“ Listen to two minutes and 39 seconds of Apollo 11 history (and President Kennedy’s optimism) in a moving montage of sound, images and music HERE.   In 2019 — when the United States and France are militarizing space, China and India are probing the moon, the International Space Station has become a routine research center, and unmanned exploration is the high-tech space frontier — NASA, the Smithsonian and official Washington want to pause to celebrate America’s derring-do.    On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 to 11:30 p.m., the Washington Monument will become a full-size Saturn V rocket (through the modern miracles of optical projection), to commemorate the rocket that sent the Apollo 11 into orbit on July 16, 1969.

AMERICAN MINUTE

View as Webpage https://www.themaven.net/americanminute/ ‌ ‌ ‌ American Minute with Bill Federer America’s First Bible printed in English language In colonial America, Bibles had to be imported from Britain as the British government strictly regulated the printing of religious materials. It was illegal to print Bibles in the English language without a license from the King. In 1663, Missionary John Elliot printed the first Bible in America at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but it was in the Indian language of Algonquin. Queen Elizabeth I, in 1589, had granted Christopher Barker the title of Royal Printer. He had the exclusive “perpetual royal privilege” to print Bibles in England. His son, Robert Barker, assumed the position of the King’s Printer with the sole permission to print the King James “Authorized Version.” Unfortunately for him, Robert Barker did not adequately proof his 1631 edition, resulting in the word “not” being left out of the commandment “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” It became known as “The Wicked Bible.” Printing of it was immediately stopped and Robert Barker was thrown into prison. By 1629, Oxford University and Cambridge University had acquired royal licenses to print revised editions of the Bible, and in 1633, so did a printer in Scotland. America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations The Revolutionary War interrupted trade between the American colonies and the King’s “authorized printers” in Britain. This caused a shortage in America of the King James Authorized Version of the Bible, which was used extensively by clergy, courts of justice and in education. In July of 1777, three prominent clergymen signed a petition to the Continental Congress: “To the honorable Continental Congress of the United States of North America now sitting in Philadelphia. Honored Gentlemen,  We the Ministers of the Gospel of Christ in the City of Philadelphia, whose names are under written, taking it into our serious consideration that in our present circumstances, books in general, and in particular, the Holy Scriptures contained in the Old and New Testaments are growing so scarce and dear, that we greatly fear that unless timely care be used to prevent it, we shall not have Bibles for our schools and families, and for the public worship of God in our churches … … We therefore think it our duty to our country and to the churches of Christ to lay this danger before this honorable house, humbly requesting that under your care, and by your encouragement, a copy of the Holy Bible may be printed, so as to be sold nearly as cheap as the common Bibles, formerly imported from Britain and Ireland, were sold. The number of purchasers is so great, that we doubt not but a large impression would soon be sold … … We are persuaded that your care and seasonable interposition will remove the anxious fears of many pious and well disposed persons; would prevent the murmurs of the discontented … would be the means of promoting Christian knowledge in our churches … Our sincere prayers shall ever be for your welfare and prosperity, and we beg leave with the greatest respect to subscribe our selves. Honored Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble servants, –Francis Alison (a founder of University of Pennsylvania & University of Delaware), –John Ewing (provost of University of Pennsylvania), –William Marshalle (Scots Presbyterian Church, Associcate Presbytery of Pennsylvania).” America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations The Chaplain of Congress, Patrick Allison, Pastor of Philadelphia’s First Presbyterian Church, brought the issue to the attention of the Continental Congress, which referred it to a Committee composed of John Adams, Daniel Roberdeau and Jonathan Bayard Smith. The Committee reported to the Continental Congress, September 11, 1777, that it had: “… conferred fully with the printers, etc., in this city and are of the opinion, that the proper types for printing the Bible are not to be had in this country, and that the paper cannot be procured, but with such difficulties and subject to such casualties as render any dependence on it altogether improper …” The Committee recommended: “The use of the Bible is so universal and its importance so great that your committee refers the above to the consideration of Congress … The Committee recommends that Congress will order the Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 Bibles from Holland, Scotland, or elsewhere, into the different parts of the States of the Union. Whereupon it was resolved accordingly to direct said Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 copies of the Bible.” That same day, September 11, 1777, Washington’s troops lost the Battle of Brandywine, retreating eventually to Valley Forge, and British General John Burgoyne’s troops were marching down from Canada. In a panic, the Continental Congress evacuated Philadelphia before action could be taken on the Bible resolution, fleeing to the City of Lancaster, then to York, Pennsylvania. On September 26, 1777, British General William Howe occupied Philadelphia. Howe expected this would end the war, as the tradition in European warfare was that when a country’s capital was captured they would surrender. The war continued, though, and in 1780 another motion was presented to Congress pertaining to the printing of the Bible by James McLene, a delegate from Pennsylvania, and seconded by John Hanson, a delegate from Maryland: “Resolved: That it be recommended to such of the States who may think it convenient for them that they take proper measures to procure one or more new and correct editions of the Old and New Testament to be printed and that such states regulate their printers by law so as to secure effectually the said books from being misprinted.” On January 21, 1781, Robert Aitken presented a “Memorial” petition to Congress to publish the Bible: “To the Honorable The Congress of the United States of America — The Memorial of Robert Aitken of the City of Philadelphia, Printer Humbly Sheweth That in every well regulated Government in Christendom, The Sacred Books of the Old and New Testament, commonly called the Holy Bible, are printed and published under the Authority of the Sovereign Powers, in order to prevent the fatal confusion that would arise, and the alarming Injuries the Christian Faith might suffer from the spurious and erroneous editions of Divine Revelation …” Robert Aitken continued: “That your Memorialist has no doubt but this work is an object worthy the attention of the Congress of the United States of America, who will not neglect spiritual security, while they are virtuously contending for temporal blessings. Under this persuasion your Memorialist begs leave to, inform your Honors that he both begun and made considerable progress in a neat edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools, but being cautious of suffering his copy of the Bible to issue forth without the sanction of Congress, humbly prays that your Honors would take this important matter into serious consideration & would be pleased to appoint one Member or Members of your Honorable Body to inspect his work so that the same may be published under the Authority of Congress. … And further, your Memorialist prays, that he may be commissioned or otherwise appointed & authorized to print and vend editions of, the Sacred Scriptures, in such manner and form as may best suit the wants and demands of the good people of these States, provided the same be in all things perfectly consonant to the Scriptures as heretofore Established and received amongst us.” Robert Aitken, a Scottish immigrant, printed The Pennsylvania Magazine, which had 600 subscribers, with Thomas Paine as editor. In January of 1776, Robert Aiken began printing the Journals of the Continental Congress. Miracles in American History In early September, 1782, Robert Aitken sent a message to Congress informing them he had nearly completed his Bible, “accomplished in the midst of the Confusion and Distresses of War.” Congress requested the Chaplains of Congress review it: “REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF CONGRESS ON MR. AITKEN’S MEMORIAL By The United States Congress Assembled: September 12th, 1782. THE Committee to whom was referred a Memorial of Robert Aitken, Printer, dated 21st January, 1781, respecting an edition of the Holy Scriptures, report, That Mr. Aitken has, at a great expense, now finished an American edition of the Holy Scriptures in English, that the Committee have from time to time attended to his progress in the work; that they also recommended it to the two Chaplains of Congress to examine and give their opinion of the execution, who have accordingly reported thereon; the recommendation and report being as follows: … ‘Philadelphia, 1st September, 1782. Reverend Gentlemen, OUR knowledge of your piety and public spirit leads us without apology to recommend to your particular attention the edition of the Holy Scriptures publishing by Mr. Aitken. He undertook this expensive work at a time when, from the circumstances of the war, an English edition of the Bible could not be imported, nor any opinion formed how long the obstruction might continue. On this account particularly he deserves applause and encouragement. We therefore wish you, Reverend Gentlemen, to examine the execution of the work, and if approved, to give it the sanction of your judgment, and the weight of your recommendation. We are, with very great respect, Your most obedient humble servants. (Sign’d) JAMES DUANE, Chairman in behalf of a Committee of Congress on Mr. Aitken’s Memorial.'” The two Chaplains of Congress at this time were: Rev. George Duffield, pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, who helped form the Presbyterian Church in the United States; and Rev. William White, rector of Christ Church, who helped organize the Protestant Episcopal Church in America and was the first president of the Bible Society of Philadelphia — the first Bible Society in the United States. Chaplains William White and George Duffield reported to Congress, September 10, 1782: “REPORT OF THE CONGRESSIONAL CHAPLAINS Reverend Doct. White and Revd. Mr. Duffield, Chaplains of the United States in Congress assembled. Report. Gentlemen, AGREEABLY to your desire we have paid attention to Mr. Robert Aitken’s impression of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament. Having selected and examined a variety of passages throughout the work, we are of opinion that it is executed with great accuracy as to the sense, and with as few grammatical and typographical errors as could be expected in an undertaking of such magnitude. Being ourselves witnesses of the demand of this invaluable book, we rejoice in this present prospect of a supply; hoping that it will prove as advantageous as it is honorable to the Gentleman, who has exerted himself to furnish it, at the evident risque of private fortune. We are, Gentlemen, Your very respectful and humble servants, (Sign’d) William White, George Duffield. Philadelphia, September 10th, 1782.” On September 12, 1782, C ongress approved of Robert Aitken’s printing of the Bible. Called “The Bible of the Revolution” it was the first English-language Bible printed in America and the only Bible ever authorized by an act of Congress: “ENDORSEMENT OF CONGRESS Honble James Duane, Esq. Chairman, and the other Honble Gentlemen of the Committee of Congress on Mr. Aitken’s Memorial. … Whereupon, RESOLVED, THAT the United States in Congress assembled highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken, as subservient to the interest of religion, as well as an influence of the progress of arts in this country, and being satisfied from the above report of his care and accuracy in the execution of the work, they recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States, and hereby authorize him to publish this Recommendation in the manner he shall think Proper. CHA. THOMSON, Sec’ry.” Robert Aitkens’ “Bible of the Revolution” is one of the rarest books. In 1940, the Rev. Edwin A.R. Rumball-Petre located 28 copies of the “Bible of the Revolution” in institutions in America and abroad, and 22 in private collections. Copies of “The Bible of the Revolution” are in the possession of the American Bible Society’s Museum of Biblical Art in New York; Houston Baptist University’s Dunham Bible Museum; and Hobby Lobby’s Green Family, who established the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. to display The Green Collection — the world’s largest private collection of rare biblical texts and artifacts. Congress’ endorsement of Robert Aitken’s Bible was signed by the Secretary of Congress Charles Thomson, who had also signed the Declaration of Independence with John Hancock on July 4, 1776. Charles Thomson, with William Barton, designed the Great Seal of the United States. When Charles Thomson retired from Congress, he spent 19 years researching and writing his “Thomson Bible,” a four-volume work containing the first American translation of the Greek Septuagint. Charles Thomson’s Bible was printed in 1808 by Jane Aitken, the daughter of Robert Aitken, who had taken over her father’s printing business when he died on JULY 15, 1802. This made America’s Jane Aitken the first woman ever to print the Bible.

New Orleans Calls Barry Coverage a Disaster Following severe flooding from Tropical Storm Barry, Louisiana residents are calling out the national media coverage for overhyping the damage and not giving credit to their preparation. NBC weatherman Al Roker said residents should “make plans now” too evacuate. The Bayou Brief took issue: “It’s a bad idea for people in New Orleans to listen to Al Roker instead of the actual experts on the ground in Louisiana, and it’s an even worse idea for people like Al Roker to imply, as he did, that they have a better understanding of the situation than Mayor LaToya Cantrell or Gov. John Bel Edwards.” Other networks weren’t safe from criticism: “Both CBS and CNN have emphasized the possibility of Barry being a bigger rain event than Katrina. But rain didn’t cause the city to flood; levee failures did. If New Orleans is decimated by a slow-moving tropical storm, it will have absolutely nothing to do with the reason Al Roker thinks. Ironically, the flash flooding that occurred on Wednesday- more than seven inches of rain in an hour- ended up proving the city’s pumping system is performing well, which should be reassuring and not a reason to panic.” On Saturday night, coverage of Barry died down as the media experienced its own crisis — a power outage in New York City! Greg Gutfeld of Fox News had the tweet of the night: a blackout takes precedence over a hurricane. as they say in real estate: location, location, location.— GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) July 14, 2019 The hipster thing to do was to enjoy the outage.  ICE Begins Coordination in Enforcing Immigration Laws On Friday, President Trump said, “It starts on Sunday, and they’re going to take people out, and they’re going to bring them back to their countries, or they’re going to take criminals out — put them in prison or put them in prison in the countries they came from.”  The Washington Examiner reported: “The raids are in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco. ICE was also expected to carry out raids in New Orleans but that has been postponed as a result of Tropical Storm Barry. In the days leading up to the raids, multiple Democratic members of Congress shared statements trying to help those who are fearful of being deported. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her party to spread the “know your rights” campaign during a closed-door whips meeting, according to Politico. “An ICE deportation warrant is not the same as a search warrant. If that is the only document ICE brings to a home raid, agents do not have the legal right to enter a home. If ICE agents don’t have a warrant signed by a judge, a person may refuse to open the door and let them in,” said Pelosi, reading from prepared remarks at her weekly press conference.” On Saturday, an “antifa” activist showed up at a Tacoma, Washington detention center with a rifle, flares, and Molotov cocktails with the mission to cause arm to ICE officers and the center. Last year he was in an altercation with officers during an “antifa” protest when he wrapped his arms around an officer’s neck and was arrested. From The Seattle Times: “Early Saturday morning, that man, Willem Van Spronsen of Vashon Island, returned to the Northwest Detention Center, the holding facility for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, this time armed with a rifle and incendiary devices, according to Tacoma police. Police said Van Spronsen tossed lit objects at vehicles and buildings, causing one car fire, and unsuccessfully tried to ignite a propane tank. Officers were called by an ICE employee who saw the rifle. Soon after they arrived, officers reported “shots fired,” said Tacoma police spokeswoman Loretta Cool, although it is unclear who fired first or if Van Spronsen fired at all. The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office classified his death as a homicide.” Black Friday in July? Apparently, all marketers got together and have turned mid-July into a mass-shopping event. If you partake in Amazon Prime Day, Nordstrom’s Annual Sale, Target Deal Days or any of the other Black Friday in July sales, check out these articles first. Shopping Tips For the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (YouTube) Prime Day’s Best Sellers by Year (New York Times) 5 Things to Avoid on Prime Day (New York Times) Don’t Miss These Black Friday in July Sales (RetailMeNot) What I’m Reading This Week I just finished the delightful but bittersweet Calypso by David Sedaris and now I’m on to Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig. From the description: “Everyone’s lives are touched by mental illness: if we do not suffer from it ourselves, then we have a friend or loved one who does. Matt’s frankness about his experiences is both inspiring to those who feel daunted by depression and illuminating to those who are mystified by it. Above all, his humor and encouragement never let us lose sight of hope. Speaking as his present self to his former self in the depths of depression, Matt is adamant that the oldest cliché is the truest—there is light at the end of the tunnel. He teaches us to celebrate the small joys and moments of peace that life brings, and reminds us that there are always reasons to stay alive.” A Case of the Mondays 7-year-old boy saves sister who was having a seizure from drowning in pool (CNN) Tucker, my favorite Golden Retriever, reviews different foods (YouTube)

Sevnica, Slovenia, the First Lady’s hometown, unveiled a statue in her honor. The abstract statue is a tribute to her inaugural look.

In Fashion Notes this week, John Binder highlights the fabulous retro 1940s look Melania wore when she arrived back in DC last week. From Fashion Notes:

“Melania Trump strutted across the White House lawn in a tea length white Ralph Lauren shirt dress that wrapped at the bodice to create a v-neck, fastened with a matching white leather belt. From the garment’s collar to its pleated skirt, this look has the 1940s — where women often wore menswear-inspired blouses tucked into pleated skirts with pumps — written all over it.”

So chic! I found a few similar dresses: Free People Love of My Life Midi Dress from Nordstrom, $108  A beautiful print with similar style — Cream Shadow Stripe & Floral Print Wrap Dress from Unique Vintage, $68 A similar Ralph Lauren version — Floral-Print Jersey Dress from Macy’s, $89   Mondays with Melania is a weekly feature that highlights what the First Lady is doing and wearing.

ScottRasmussen.com Launch – Check Out My All New Website No Images? Click here   Good morning,The top four issues concerning voters at this time are Health Care (18%), Immigration (16%), The Economy (15%), and National Security (9%). The number citing health care as the top concern is down two points from a month ago while immigration has gained three points. There was no change in the others.Among Republicans, the economy and immigration are both seen as most important by 24%. National security ranks third among the GOP at 14% while health care is rated most important by 9%.As for Democrats, healthcare is seen as most important by 28% and nothing else comes close. Immigration and the economy are each rated most important by 10% of those in Nancy Pelosi’s party. Nine percent (9%) name environmental issues as number one.Independent voters have a more mixed assessment. Health care (15%),  Immigration (15%) and the economy (13%) are all pretty close on the priority list.On the issue they personally consider the most important, 36% of voters trust Democrats more than Republicans while 35% place more trust in Republicans.Thirty-nine percent (39%) of voters nationwide rate the U.S. health care system as good or excellent. while 26% rate it as poor. Despite skepticism about the health care system, 68% say their own insurance coverage is good or excellent and 72% of voters rate the medical care they receive in such positive terms.Forty-one percent (41%) of voters believe increased competition between health care providers is more likely to improve the quality of medical care than more government regulation. Twenty-five percent (25%) take the opposite view and 34% are not sure. By a similar margin, voters also believe competition would do more to reduce the cost of care.Additionally, 48% believe new technologies will have a bigger positive impact on health care than new government policies. Twenty-nine percent (29%) take the opposite view.These attitudes have generally held steady over the past year. Voters consistently express a preference for more choice and less politics in health care. Insurance coverage that restricts choice is considered “junk insurance” by a solid majority of voters. These preferences are part of a broad recognition that Americans have more power acting as consumers than voters.Finally, on the night President Trump dropped his bid to add a citizenship question to the U.S. Census, 63% of voters believed that it was an appropriate question to ask.  To provide context for those numbers, we asked 1,000 Registered Voters whether a number of other census questions were appropriate.83% believe it is appropriate for the census to ask about the number of people living or staying in a home on April 1, 2020.70% think asking about the name, sex, age, date of birth and race of each person in the home is appropriate.61% are okay with the census bureau asking about the relationship of each person to a central person in the home.54% say it’s appropriate to ask whether each person is of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin.53%  are comfortable with asking whether the home is owned with or without a mortgage, rented or occupied without rent.34% think asking whether couples living together are in a same-sex or opposite-sex relationship is appropriate. On this question, a majority (53%) say it is inappropriate.Thank you for your interest in our work,Scott     Stay Informed Up To The Minute and Share ContentDeeper CurrentsScott Rasmussen offers his personal insight, analysis, and opinion on current political races, issues, and controversy.

MEET THE PRESS

From NBC’s Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann

FIRST READ: Here’s the most important number for Trump’s re-election bid

Notice a common number – or thereabouts – in the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll?

• Trump’s percentage against Joe Biden in a hypothetical matchup: 42 percent

• His percentage against Bernie Sanders: 43 percent

• His percentage against Elizabeth Warren: 43 percent

• His percentage against Kamala Harris: 44 percent

• His job-approval rating: 45 percent.

And just to expand on this exercise, Trump’s job rating exactly a year ago in the NBC/WSJ poll was – you guessed it – 45 percent.

Ditto his job rating in the exit poll for the 2018 midterms

REUTERS/Carlos Barria

It’s a reminder of how constant Trump’s numbers are, despite the always-changing news cycle …

…how similar Trump’s ballot numbers are to his job rating …

and how perilous his political standing is given the overall state of the U.S. economy. 

Incumbent presidents, especially those not facing a real primary challenge, have a baked-in advantage getting to focus on a general election for four years, instead of the four to five months the opposition gets.

And as we saw in 2016, a person can still win the electoral college by getting just 46 percent of the popular vote.

But don’t lose sight of just how unpopular the president of the United States is – and has been.

Ugly tweets

And if you’re wondering why the president of the United States remains unpopular – given the humming economy – look no farther than his tweets over the last 24 hours.

On Sunday morning, he fired off a vicious and racist tweetstorm apparently aimed at Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, saying they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

All four congresswomen are U.S. citizens and all but one (Omar being the exception) was born in the United States.

And this morning, Trump doubled down on his attack.

But you also want to know why close to 90 percent of Republicans approve of Trump’s job, the ONLY sitting GOP member of Congress whom we saw take issue with Trump’s tweet was Chip Roy of Texas, who still called for the defeat of those Dem congresswomen.

Is Ross going to be tossed?

It sure looks like Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is being set up as the fall guy for Trump’s Census defeat/retreat from last week.

“President Donald Trump has told aides and allies that he is considering removing Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross after a stinging Supreme Court defeat on adding a citizenship question to the census, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations,” Hans Nichols, Kayla Tausche and Hallie Jackson write.

“Ross is one of the original members of a Cabinet that has seen historically high turnover, but his exit would mark the first departure of an agency head that Trump knew well before entering politics.”

“Trump and Ross met — and bonded — through Trump’s Atlantic City casino hotel bankruptcies in the 1990s, with Ross representing some of Trump’s creditors.”

2020 VISION: Biden takes aim at Medicare for All

NBC’s Marianna Sotomayor reports that the Biden campaign today is releasing its plan to build on and protect the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

And here’s Biden in a campaign video: “I understand the appeal for Medicare for All. But folks supporting it should be clear: that it means getting rid of Obamacare. And I’m not for that.”

More Biden: “I know how hard it was to get that passed. I watched it. Starting over makes no sense to me at all.”

And: “I knew the Republicans would do everything in their power to repeal Obamacare. They still are. But I’m surprised that so many Democrats are running on getting rid of it.”

Don’t be surprised if we get a response from Bernie Sanders at his rally with unions and hospital workers in Philadelphia at 2:00 pm ET.

Sanders also is planning a big Medicare for All speech on Wednesday.

By the way, our NBC/WSJ poll tested whether voters favored or opposed “a single-payer health-care system in which all Americans would get their health insurance from one government plan that is financed in part by taxes.”

All voters who favor it: 44 percent.

All voters who oppose it: 49 percent.

On the campaign trail today: Joe Biden, Cory Booker, John Hickenlooper and Amy Klobuchar speak at an AARP/Des Moines Register forum in Des Moines, Iowa… Julian Castro, Michael Bennet and Kirsten Gillibrand also stump in the Hawkeye State… And Bernie Sanders holds a rally in Philadelphia.

DATA DOWNLOAD: And the number of the day is… +1

+1 

That was Barack Obama’s margin versus Mitt Romney in the August 2011 NBC/WSJ poll – taken in the aftermath of the debt-ceiling fight with Congress.

Obama had the support of 46 percent of registered voters in that national poll, while Romney got 45 percent in that hypothetical general-election matchup.

Compare that with President Donald Trump’s deficits – at nearly this same point in time – versus Joe Biden (-9), Bernie Sanders (-7), Elizabeth Warren (-5) and Kamala Harris (-1) in the latest NBC/WSJ poll.

By the way, Obama ultimately beat Romney by 4 points in the 2012 general, 51 percent to 47 percent.

TWEET OF THE DAY: Meet 8 year-old Scout

THE LID: Father, the sleeper has awakened

Be sure to check out the pod from Friday, when we looked at the popularity of single-payer/Medicare for All – with the help of the sci-fi movie “Dune.”

ICYMI: News clips you shouldn’t miss The Washington Post writes that Mick Mulvaney is building “an empire for the right wing” as chief of staff.

Despite warnings, it appears that major large-scale deportation enforcement raids aren’t materializing yet.

Peter Baker writes in the New York Times of Trump’s decision to “throw a match” on the nation’s racial tensions over the weekend.

Beto O’Rourke says his family’s ancestors owned slaves.

And support for impeachment is falling, according to our latest NBC/WSJ poll.

REALCLEARPOLITICS

07/15/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Presented by Charter Communications: Netroots Pitch; ‘Crisis’ Mode; Carter’s Malaise By Carl M. Cannon on Jul 15, 2019 08:20 am Good morning, it’s Monday, July 15, 2019. Forty years ago today, as inflation raged, high interest rates choked the U.S. economy, and an oil embargo by OPEC generated record-high fuel prices, the president of the United States felt the need to address the American people. His popularity plummeting, Jimmy Carter wanted to talk about what he saw as the underlying ills sapping American strength even more than the sour economy. The result was destined to be known as the “malaise” speech. I’ll have more on Jimmy Carter’s much-maligned rhetorical gambit in a moment. First, I’d steer you to  RealClearPolitics’ front page, which presents our poll averages, videos, breaking news stories, and aggregated opinion columns spanning the political spectrum. We also offer original material from our own reporters and contributors, including the following: * * * Few 2020 Dems Pay Respects at Netroots, Where Warren Reigns. Phil Wegmann reports on the progressive gathering held over weekend in Philadelphia. TV News Highlights Immigration, But It’s a “Crisis” Only on Fox. Kalev Leetaru has this analysis of data from the TV news archive.  “Red Summer” of 1919: America’s Forgotten Racial Stain. On the centennial of the riots that took place nationwide, Jack Beyrer examines what happened — and why those events are little-remembered. Trump Advances American Kidney Health. Joe Grogan and Abe Sutton write that an executive order will benefit 30 million Americans suffering with renal disease. Controlling Costs Is the Defining Health Care Issue. In RealClearPolicy, James Capretta asserts that the debate regarding “Medicare for All” vs. a free market system misses an overarching point. Mac Pro Shows Business Is Way Too Fast for Politicians. In RealClearMarkets, Allan Golombek explains why Apple is unswayed by the administration’s trade policy toward China. Why You Probably Shouldn’t Recycle Plastic or Glass. RealClearScience editor Ross Pomeroy argues that cost and the environmental degradation produced by the recycling process makes landfills a better option. Universities Lack Transparency Regarding Foreign Gifts. In RealClearEducation, Rachelle Peterson highlights a growing concern. * * * To this day, Jimmy Carter’s loyalists will remind you that on July 15, 1979, the 39th U.S. president never uttered the word “malaise.” This is true, although it’s probably also accurate to say that this short-hand description was as good as any. It certainly seemed to fit the mood in the White House, and even in the country. The July 4 holiday that year was epitomized by lines at gas stations that stretched for blocks. Holed up at Camp David, Carter was scheduled to give a prime-time July 5 speech on energy policy — the third of his presidency — but it was abruptly canceled with no explanation. Ten days later, Carter emerged with a speech that was about more than an energy crisis. It was about what he called “a crisis in confidence.” “After listening to the American people, I have been reminded again that all the legislation in the world can’t fix what’s wrong with America,” the president told the nation. “So I want to speak to you first tonight about a subject even more serious than energy or inflation. I want to talk to you right now about a fundamental threat to American democracy.” That threat, in Jimmy Carter’s telling, was “an erosion of our confidence” that undermined the “social and political fabric” of America. “Too many of us,” Carter continued, “now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns.” He wasn’t wrong, exactly. It’s just that this was a pretty high-handed tone for a president to take with Americans who couldn’t find work or pay the family bills and were stuck in a gasoline rationing lines at a time of double-digit inflation. The following year, Americans voted with their feet, to use an expression from that time, retiring Jimmy Carter involuntarily from elective office and replacing him with a sunny Californian who stood on the steps of the restored west front of the U.S. Capitol and offered a different prescription: “Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength,” Ronald Reagan proclaimed at his inauguration. “We have every right to dream heroic dreams.” Jimmy Carter could never quite fathom why the “malaise” speech is remembered so unkindly. As recently as 2012, in an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, Carter insisted that initial reaction to the speech was positive. It wasn’t until his 1980 primary opponent Ted Kennedy (and, later, Reagan) started mischaracterizing it that the public turned against it, Carter told Morgan. This revisionism isn’t altogether wrong. The malaise speech itself got some good reviews. The White House was inundated with positive letters, and Carter’s job approval rating went up briefly. It was what came before and after that solidified Carter’s reputation as a hapless leader. After he had canceled the July 5 speech without explanation, the Washington gossip mill was rife with speculation about the president’s health. One rumor had it that he’d left the country. Then, two days after the speech Carter abruptly demanded the resignations of all 12 members of his Cabinet and top members of the White House staff, telling them archly that he’d decide which ones to accept. In the end, he fired half the Cabinet and several top aides. This inexplicable action struck voters as panicky and it eroded any goodwill Carter had earned by trusting the American people enough to talk to them from the heart. In my view, it changed how people thought about the July 15 speech. Voters didn’t need Ted Kennedy or Ronald Reagan to tell them how they thought. Coupled with the firings, it now sounded to many Americans as though Carter was blaming the voters he was supposed to be leading. Over time, this morphed into a conventional wisdom that the “malaise” speech is what doomed his reelection chances. But being tin-eared politically isn’t the same thing as being wrong. After playing a clip of the controversial “worship self-indulgence and consumption” passage, Piers Morgan enthused to Carter, “You were right then and you would be right to say that today, wouldn’t you?” That kind of cheerleading is to be expected in modern journalism, but Morgan was hardly alone. Scapegoating the citizens for his own shortcomings is an unattractive thing for a president to do, but Jimmy Carter’s larger point — that materialism is not enough to nourish the human spirit or solve all problems — cannot be dismissed lightly. Two decades later, a prominent Reaganaut who worked to defeat Carter gave the man his due. “The ‘malaise’ speech was bad politics,” Peggy Noonan told me in 2000. “But it wasn’t bad thinking.” In that 2000 election cycle, both presidential nominees seemed to concur with Carter’s views about over-reliance on materialism. “Ordinary Americans have decided to confront the fact that our severest challenges are not just material, but spiritual,” said Democratic Party standard-bearer Al Gore while discussing faith-based solutions to social problems. “There is a better way.” “Our country must be prosperous, but prosperity must have a purpose,” George W. Bush told the American people. “The purpose of prosperity is to make sure the American dream touches every willing heart. The purpose of prosperity is to leave no one out — to leave no one behind.” Carl M.

Comparing the 1976 election to 2020 Posted: 14 Jul 2019 10:48 PM PDT As we all know, the best thing about hindsight is that it is always 20/20. In 1976, I made the one big political blunder that I will live up to. I helped elect Jimmy Carter as 39th president of the United States. Actually, it all started out positively but very quickly slid downhill on a […] The post Comparing the 1976 election to 2020 appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Mr. President, at least let someone read your Tweets before sending them Posted: 14 Jul 2019 08:47 PM PDT I gave up long ago on hoping the President would stop Tweeting his opinions on everything. Sometimes he scores, but more often than not his Tweets are fodder for the press that hates him and the Democrats who despise him. Today was one of those days following a set of Tweets many are labeling as […] The post Mr. President, at least let someone read your Tweets before sending them appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

ICE raids should be unannounced, widespread, and ongoing Posted: 14 Jul 2019 08:09 PM PDT Today was ICE raid day in nine cities across the country. I shouldn’t know that. You shouldn’t either. Most importantly, illegal immigrants with active deportation orders shouldn’t know it, nor should the Democrats and progressive activists working to thwart the efforts of ICE. When the dust settles, I can almost guarantee the “millions” of deportations […] The post ICE raids should be unannounced, widespread, and ongoing appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Conservatives would be wise to keep AOC in the news Posted: 14 Jul 2019 02:36 PM PDT Before the 2018 midterm elections, there was a general consensus among those in a conservative chat group I run that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would become the face of the Democratic Party. We were correct. Where we were wrong is in thinking this would be a bad thing. I personally thought a young, energetic millennial would be […] The post Conservatives would be wise to keep AOC in the news appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Brandon Straka’s #WalkAway video sets the stage for steady doses of truth Posted: 14 Jul 2019 01:35 PM PDT Former Democrat Brandon Straka is not very popular on the left. He represents the dissemination of an existential threat to radical progressives everywhere. What he’s spreading is the truth, and coming from someone who was formerly a media- and education-indoctrinated leftist, it holds plenty of clout. When he formed the #WalkAway movement, it was an […] The post Brandon Straka’s #WalkAway video sets the stage for steady doses of truth appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Let’s have that ‘conversation’ about guns and why we’re never giving them up Posted: 14 Jul 2019 12:52 PM PDT #GunPrideMonth is the perfect time for a calm, rational discussion about the true causes of violence. Our friends on the national socialist Left love to bring up the issue of guns in the context of a ‘serious crisis’. Tying to make it seem as Corey Booker falsely claims that there is a mass shooting every […] The post Let’s have that ‘conversation’ about guns and why we’re never giving them up appeared first on Conservative Christian News.
