That’s how an article from the San Francisco Chronicle labels the new law. It’s been a rough start to 2020 for many workers in California. The new year brought the implementation of California’s new gig law, Assembly Bill 5 (AB5). Designed to target the gig economy, specifically companies such as Uber and Lyft that rely on an army of independent contractors to provide the company’s services to customers, AB5 will have broad-reaching effects upon gig work in California.   If companies are forced to reclassify more workers as employees, a huge swath of independent contractors will be laid off to...

This is the first episode of Guilini's video series on the corruption he uncovered while doing legal defense for Trump. It begins with Impeachment which now is dated as that is history. It continues into corruption and man is it compelling. There are currently 4 episodes with more promised to follow. The revelations are stunning and extremely well supported. It is no wonder that Rudy was a great litigator.

Former US Rep. Joe Walsh is ending his uphill challenge against Donald Trump for the 2020 Republican presidential nomination, after suffering a crushing loss in the Iowa GOP caucuses in which he received only 1% of the vote. "I am ending my candidacy for president of the United States," Walsh told CNN's John Berman on "New Day." "I got into this because I thought it was really important that there was a Republican -- a Republican -- out there every day calling out this president for how unfit he is." Walsh, a conservative, said he will do whatever he can...

The New York Times’ 1619 Project — a curriculum that makes the fantastical claim that a primary cause of the Revolutionary War was the colonists’ desire to protect slavery — has been adopted in 3,500 classrooms across all 50 states.For this reason, some of the nation’s most renowned historians have called for The Times to correct this and other factual errors.The Pulitzer Center, which is partnering with The Times to promote The 1619 Project, recounted in its 2019 annual report, “Good journalism, innovative educational resources, and deep community engagement are absolutely essential to bridging the divisions that threaten to rip our democracy apart.

Perhaps the New York Times "conservative" columnist David Brooks might want to consider gettting out of the prediction business. His rate of correct prognostications has approached the zero mark ever since President Donald Trump was elected. In fact, just three days after the 2016 election, Brooks predicted that Trump "will probably resign or be impeached within a year." After more than three years since that prediction fail, Brooks' prognostication record remains at about the same laughable level. We need go back only a couple of weeks to January 23 to laugh at his latest bold observation that "Joe Biden Is...

• Since a fever is a primary symptom of the novel coronavirus tearing its way through Wuhan, China, the city has ordered its 11 million residents to report their body temperatures to health officials daily. • The aim, according to a notice issued Thursday, is to "completely cut off transmission at the source." • In the event that a person's body temperature is abnormal, a team will be sent to investigate further. If a person refuses to comply, local law enforcement authorities will intervene. All 11 million residents of the central Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel...

"Saints . . . who are in Philippi" (Phil. 1:1). As you give toward the needs of others, God will supply your needs. Perhaps more than any other New Testament church, the Philippian church was characterized by generous, sacrificial giving. Their support for Paul extended throughout his missionary travels and was a source of great joy to him. In addition to money, they also sent Epaphroditus, a godly man who ministered to Paul during his imprisonment (Phil. 2:25-30; 4:18). Paul was selective about accepting financial support from churches because he didn't want to be a burden or have his motives...

“With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life" (Proverbs 7:21-23).

"To safeguard everyone's health and safety and comply with government virus prevention measures, we urge you not to return to Shenzhen," Foxconn wrote in a text message sent to employees. "We'll update you on the situation in the city. The company will protect everyone's work-related rights and interests in the duration. As for the happy reunion date in Shenzhen, please wait for further notice."

Appearing Wednesday on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-UT) conviction speech made him emotional and added that he would like his children to be like the Utah Republican.

[Before I begin, to our Rush Limbaugh, let me join countless millions of others in expressing my heart-crushing sadness over hearing you tell us of your cancer diagnosis. It cannot be overstated how dearly you are loved and how fervently we are praying to the Lord for a healing miracle for you, as well as strength, comfort and peace for you and Kathryn. We need you, and we love you.] Describing it as disgusting does not quite capture the evil, upside-down situation we've watched in our nation since before President Trump was elected. The Democrat power structure, which includes more...

Employers added 225,000 jobs in January and the jobless rate was 3.6%, signs that the U.S. labor market is positioned to fuel economic growth in 2020. Wages increased 3.1% from a year earlier, a touch higher than December’s annual rise of 3%. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had forecast job growth of 158,000, an unemployment rate of 3.5% and year-over-year wage growth of 3.0%. January’s robust payroll gain points to a continued healthy labor market in a U.S. economic expansion now in its 11th year.

I’ve never understood Mitt Romney. I’ve admired him, even warmed to him. The post-election documentary Mitt presents Mitt Romney as a man who is high in conscientiousness; he chases after the tiniest litter in his presence. It shows a winning self-effacing side of the man; it shows him admiring his father more than himself. In that film, he takes the slings and arrows of public life with some grace. He’s been on the right side of various controversies in his Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was, by everyone’s accounts, a sterling business partner who worked...

WASHINGTON -- Former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh ended his Republican primary challenge to President Donald Trump on Friday, abandoning an effort that faced long odds and financial struggles from the start. “I’m suspending my campaign, but our fight against the Cult of Trump is just getting started. I’m committed to doing everything I can to defeat Trump and his enablers this November.” Walsh said in a tweet. Walsh had cast his ballot for Trump in 2016 and declared he would be “grabbing his musket” if the Republican Trump lost to Democrat Hillary Clinton. But Walsh eventually soured on Trump, deriding...

The partisan impeachment of President Donald Trump finally passed, mercifully, like a kidney stone, with Democrats grimacing helplessly during acquittal in the Senate on Wednesday. It's over. The cable news networks loved it because they love a show but there was no real drama. Americans knew for months how this would turn out. They knew Democrats didn't have the votes in the Senate. It was all about targeting select Republican senators in the next elections. The people turned off this farce of Democratic Impeachment Theater long ago. Americans aren't as dumb as some politicians think they are. They paid attention...

WASHINGTON - U.S. job growth accelerated in January, with unseasonably mild temperatures boosting hiring in weather-sensitive sectors, indicating the economy will probably continue to grow moderately despite a deepening slump in business investment. The Labor Department’s closely watched monthly employment report on Friday, however, showed the economy created 514,000 fewer jobs between April 2018 and March 2019 than originally estimated. The biggest downgrade to payrolls over a 12-month period since 2009 suggests job growth could significantly slow down this year. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 225,000 jobs last month, with employment at construction sites increasing by the most in a year...

U.S. hiring topped expectations in January, as the economy added 225,000 jobs, beginning the decade on a stronger-than-expected note. The final payroll number of 2019 surged past the estimate of 160,000 from economists surveyed by Refinitiv, who also saw the unemployment rate holding steady from December's 3.5 percent. It marks the 112th month of straight gains.

President Donald Trump said Thursday that the U.S. at his direction has conducted a counter-terrorism operation in Yemen that killed Qassim al-Rimi, an al-Qaida leader who claimed responsibility for last year's deadly shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola, where a Saudi aviation trainee killed three American sailors. Al-Rimi is a founder of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. The affiliate has long been considered the global network’s most dangerous branch for its attempts to carry out attacks on the U.S. mainland. Trump said the U.S. and its allies are safer as a result of his death. “We will continue to protect...
