Economy
- New claims for unemployment benefits tumbled by much more than expected to 787,000 in the week ended October 17, the Department of Labor said Thursday.
- The previous week’s level was revised down by 56,000 from 898,000 to 842,000. That means that last week’s figure, which was initially reported as a surprise jump in claims, was actually a decline of 2,000.
This suggests the economy—and the labor market in particular—has been stronger than previously thought. - Continuing claims, which are reported with a week’s lag, fell to 8,373,000, a decrease of 1,024,000 from the previous week’s revised level. That is the lowest figure since march.

- In a move that we’re sure Joe Biden will somehow try to take credit for if he’s elected in November, General Motors announced yesterday that the company is going to be making a massive $2 billion investment into its Spring Hill, Tennessee factory to produce electric vehicles, including its Cadillac Lyriq. It’ll also be investing $2.2 billion in a separate factory to produce its new Hummer EV.
- The Spring Hill location is going to be the third U.S. EV factory for GM, inclusive of plans in Detroit and Orion Township, Michigan. The TN plant was commissioned in 1990 to be a Saturn plant, but that brand is now defunct, according to Reuters.
- .
- GM also said it would spend $32 million at a Flint, Michigan plant that builds the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra. The company is also investing $2.2 billion at its Detroit-Hamtramck factory to set up production for its Hummer EV, which it teased days ago alongside the announcement of the investment.
- The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.8% for the week ending Oct. 22, falling one basis point from the record low set just the week prior, . The new record low stands nearly a full percentage point below where rates were a year ago. During this same time in 2019, these loans had an average rate of 3.75%.
- This was the 11th week in which mortgage rates set a new low in the roughly 50-year history of Freddie Mac’s weekly mortgage rates report. To put that in context: On average, rates have fallen to a record low roughly once every four week this year.

- Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone ripped into the Biden tax plan when he said that it was a “fraud” to suggest that middle-class Americans won’t have their taxes raised if Joe Biden is elected President.
“First of all there’s a reality, you aren’t going to get the revenue numbers by just taxing the rich,” Langone told Fox Business.
“The only way a tax increase will generate revenues is to go after the middle class. That’s where the numbers are. These people are being misled,” he explained. “It’s absolutely a fraud to suggest that the money that’s going to be needed is going to come from the rich or the super-rich.”
- the problem with going after the middle class with tax hikes is “you go after the backbone of the economy” and “we will have a bad recession” as a result.
- Biden team is well aware that the idea of generating enough revenue through taxing the rich will not work and that lower and middle-class Americans will find this out “when its too late.”

- Transcripts released show financier Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend was combative and defensive under tough questioning four years ago about her ex-boyfriend’s interactions with underage girls.
- In the transcripts, Ghislaine Maxwell repeatedly denied hiring anyone under the age of 18 for Epstein.
- “I never saw any inappropriate underage activities with Jeffrey ever,” she said.
- The 2016 transcripts were among over 2,000 pages of documents that began to be released last year after a federal appeals court began the unsealing of documents from the since-settled defamation case brought in 2015 by Virginia Giuffre. She said Maxwell recruited her at age 17 to be sexually abused by Epstein and Maxwell from 1999 to 2002.

- President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at making federal bureaucrats engaged in policymaking more accountable.
- The order is intended to address what Trump administration officials say is a concern about the growth of the federal bureaucracy and about an increasing willingness by Congress to delegate policymaking authority to executive branch agencies.
- Because of civil service protections, career federal employees essentially can make and design policy details and rules with little or no public accountability.
- “President Trump is delivering on his promise to make Washington accountable again to the citizens it’s meant to serve,” Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said. “This much-needed reform will increase accountability in essential policymaking positions within the government.”
- Trump’s executive order creates a new category of federal employees involved in policymaking—Schedule F—for the personnel in agencies that write federal rules and regulations.
- The federal government has political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the president or agency head as well as career employees who cannot be removed without a lengthy civil service process.
- The executive order gives federal agencies more flexibility and oversight over career employees in critical positions that affect policy. The new Schedule F will apply to federal employees serving in confidential, policy-determining, policymaking, or policy-advocating positions that don’t change when a presidential transition occurs.
- The goal is to ensure that federal employees responsible for making policy decisions are held accountable,

Ratcliffe: Iran and Russia Have Obtained Voter Info, Iran Has Tried to ‘Damage President Trump‘ https://t.co/8DVFoD5CTc via @BreitbartNews
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2020
- Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe stated that Iran and Russia have obtained voter registration information that can be used “to attempt to communicate false information to registered voters that they hope will cause confusion, sow chaos, and undermine your confidence in American democracy.” He also stated that Iran has sent “spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest, and damage President Trump.” And has pushed content that makes untrue claims about people casting fraudulent ballots. Ratcliffe also said that while they have not seen the same actions being taken by Russia, they have obtained voter information like they did in 2016.
- Ratcliffe said, “We would like to alert the public that we have identified that two foreign actors, Iran and Russia, have taken specific actions to influence public opinion relating to our elections. First, we have confirmed that some voter registration information has been obtained by Iran, and separately by Russia. This data can be used by foreign actors to attempt to communicate false information to registered voters that they hope will cause confusion, sow chaos, and undermine your confidence in American democracy. To that end, we have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest, and damage President Trump.

FBI: Lincoln Project Never Trumpers Peddled Iranian Disinformation Meant To Help Biden
- After the press conference, the Lincoln Project deleted its recent tweet, which claimed, “The Proud Boys are attempting to scare voters away from the polls.”
- “Media did exactly what Iran knew they would do. They assumed fake ‘Proud Boys’ e-mails were real, then used them to attack Trump, ent.
- Following the announcement, mainstream media reporters, including PBS White House correspondent and MSNBC contributor Yamiche Alcindor, continued peddling the Iran line:
- Ratcliffe also noted that Iran is disseminating other content, including a video indicating that people, including people overseas, could cast fraudulent ballots. “This video and any claims about such allegedly fraudulent ballots are not true,” he said.

Laptop connected to Hunter Biden linked to FBI money laundering probe
The FBI’s subpoena of a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden came in connection with a money laundering investigation in late 2019, according to documents obtained by Fox News and verified by multiple federal law enforcement officials who reviewed them.It is unclear, at this point, whether the investigation is ongoing or if it was directly related to Hunter Biden. Multiple federal law enforcement officials, as well as two separate government officials, confirmed the authenticity of these documents, which were signed by FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson. Wilson did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment. One of the documents was designated as an FBI “Receipt for Property” form, which details the bureau’s interactions with John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of “The Mac Shop” who reported the laptop’s contents to authorities. The document has a “Case ID” section, which is filled in with a hand-written number: 272D-BA-3065729.
“The FBI cannot open a case without predication, so they believed there was predication for criminal activity,” . “This means there was sufficient evidence to believe that there was criminal conduct.” Another document, obtained by Fox News, was a subpoena sent to Isaac to testify before U.S. District Court in Delaware on Dec. 9, 2019.

- A whistleblower CEO and Biden insider, Tony Bobulinski, released a public statement on Wednesday evening backing up the reporting of the New York Post from last week and claiming that he personally witnessed Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden discussing business deals with his son, Hunter Biden.
- Bobulinski’s statement also seemingly authenticates at least one of the bombshell emails obtained by the New York Post, purportedly from Hunter Biden’s laptop retrieved from a computer repair store in Delaware. The statement also contradicts claims from some Democrats that a Russian disinformation campaign is at the center of the burgeoning scandal currently engulfing the Biden campaign in the final days of the election.
- Bobulinski said in a press statement he released Wednesday night:
- My name is Tony Bobulinski. The facts set forth below are true and accurate; they are not any form of domestic or foreign disinformation. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and offensive. I am the recipient of the email published seven days ago by the New York Post which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine.
- According to Bobulinski, the use of the term “the Big Guy” in one such email was a direct reference to Joe Biden himself.
- In that email, originally published by the New York Post and subsequently by several other outlets, there was a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people involved in a business deal with the now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. Fox News described the email in a report citing an anonymous source confirming that the “Big Guy” was Joe Biden:
- The email includes a note that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.” A proposed equity split references “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” with no further details.
- Bobulinski’s statement would be the first on-record confirmation of this from a source in the Biden universe. Bobulinski said:
- What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family. I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to ‘the Big Guy’ in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other ‘JB’ referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother.

Hunter Biden business partner calls email ‘genuine,’ says Hunter sought dad’s advice on deals
Tony Bobulinski said he does not believe Joe Biden’s claim that he did not discuss his son’s business dealings
Tony Bobulinski, who was listed as the recipient of an email published by the New York Post that appeared to detail a business arrangement involving a Chinese company and members of the Biden family, has confirmed that the email is “genuine” and provided more information regarding the Bidens’ role in the deal.
The email includes a note that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.” A proposed equity split references “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” with no further details.
“The reference to ‘the Big Guy’ in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden,” Bobulinski said in a statement to Fox News.
Bobulinski said he is the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, which he explained “was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family.” He said he was brought on as CEO by Hunter Biden and James Gilliar, who was listed as the sender of the email.
Bobulinski went on to say he does not believe Joe Biden’s past claim that he and Hunter did not discuss his son Hunter’s business, claiming that Hunter “frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals.”
“I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line,” Bobulinski said.
“The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist controlled China,” he added.
Bobulinksi also said that he believes that the Chinese involvement in the deal was “political or influence investment” on their part, and that “Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese.”

You miss a key factor about tax hikes. Whenever tax hikes are implemented, they may not be a direct increase to the middle or lower income classes but they will pay it nonetheless. Corporate tax hikes are paid for by raising taxes. The bottom line for any business will not be negatively impacted. This is true of small and large companies alike. So it may not be a direct tax increase but we will pay it anyway.
