Despite the denials, South Africa’s banks have had enough. In recent weeks, all four of the biggest banks have severed their links to the Guptas, closing the bank accounts of the Gupta holding company, Oakbay Investments. The Guptas were furious. In newspaper advertisements, they said the banks were jeopardizing the livelihoods of 7,500 of Oakbay’s “employees and dependents.” The Zuma government swiftly responded by delegating three cabinet ministers to meet with the banks to settle the matter. It was an extraordinary state intervention in a private business dispute. And, critics said, it was further proof of the remarkable power of...

South Africa risks turning into a “mafia state”, a senior governing party official has warned, as pressure grows on President Jacob Zuma over his links with a wealthy family.

So here’s the big symbolic “screw you, Chris Christie†press conference that I thought was going to happen yesterday. Christie wants mandatory precautionary quarantines of health-care workers returning from the hot zone, so Obama’s going to show him what a hysterical overreaction that is by appearing personally with some of those workers. Who, by the way, are currently still in the incubation period. “What about science?†wondered Noah on Twitter. Just learned returning health workers that just met with President @BarackObama still within 21 day monitoring period for #ebola— Dr. Sanjay Gupta (@drsanjaygupta) October 29, 2014 Explain this to me....

SANJAY GUPTA: "...... It's not that challenging. We're not talking about some new experimental vaccine or experimental medication. We're talking about covering your skin. Cover your skin because that's how you get ebola. If you're a health care worker, taking care of a sick patient, that's the time they're most infectious, that's why health care workers do get sick -- cover your skin. ....."

Desperately spinning on behalf of President Obama’s huge lie that Americans who liked their health insurance plans could keep them, CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta told Piers Morgan on Tuesday night that it was no big deal if Americans lost their insurance plans. “I think with regard to this idea of keeping the plans... this is another example of the message really having been not properly, uh, given,” Gupta admitted. Then he went on: “The number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States is medical bills, and a large part of that is because there are really bad...

Recently, I was talking to a congressional Democrat who was fully confident that Obamacare would cease to be an effective Republican issue by November 2014. Plenty of Democrats agree; plenty of Republicans, too. This was something Ted Cruz kept worrying about, into live mics—September 2013 was the "last chance" to defund Obamacare because the law would become more popular once exchanges started and subsidies started flowing like cheap wine at your cousin Andre's wedding reception. What worried this Democrat? A healthcare.gov imbroglio lasting more than a few weeks. If that was all it took? Fine. If it took months, rolling...
