Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Kasich.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich told Business Insider on Monday that he was "very honored" by movie star and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsing the Ohio Republican for president again in 2020.
Speaking to Business Insider while promoting his new book, "Two Paths: America Divided or United," Kasich said that he would get out of politics "for at least that year and a half" when his term as governor ends in early 2019. He was "not sure," however, if he will "come back" into politics, possibly as a presidential ...
"I love Arnold," Kasich said. "What I thought about that? I thought, 'God, I don't know what the heck Arnold is doing saying these things.' No, I love Arnold. We've been friends for a very long time. And I was very honored by it."
"Look, in terms of my political future, I don't know," he continued. "I'm going to complete my job as governor, get out of politics for at least that year and a half. I'm not sure I'll come back in, but you can't always talk about the future. ... I just don't know."
If he were to seek higher office in the 2020 election, it's not clear whether Kasich would attempt to primary President Donald Trump as a Republican or launch an independent bid. Schwarzenegger, a longtime friend of Kasich's who endorsed the governor in his 2016 presidential bid, told The Los Angeles Times earlier this...
"Kasich is an extraordinary guy," Schwarzenegger said. "He's a man of substance. He's worked in Washington, he's worked in local government, he's worked on the statewide level. He has the experience. He can see things. He has a vision."
Schwarzenegger has publicly feuded with Trump during his presidency. Trump has launched attacks on Schwarzenegger on Twitter over ratings for the rebooted "Celebrity Apprentice" on NBC, which Schwarzenegger hosted. Schwarzenegger declined to host a second season of the show, citing the baggage that went along with it.
"He's also a moderate," Schwarzenegger said of Kasich. "He's a tough Republican and very fiscally conservative, but he also at the same time loves helping people."
RENO — Nevada officials have launched a new bid to give Mark Twain recognition in the state where he assumed his pen name 150 years ago, but it doesn’t come without opposition.
The Nevada State Board on Geographic Names is again pushing a proposal to name a scenic Lake Tahoe cove for Samuel Clemens, Twain’s real name.
But it no longer maintains the inlet should be named for Twain because he actually camped there in 1861.
The board’s national counterpart rejected the request two years ago in a 5-4 vote, citing as a factor doubt about whether Twain camped at the spot.
Nevada board members now say they want to name the cove for Twain merely because of his association with Tahoe and the lack of a geographic feature in the state named for him. His book “Roughing It” put Nevada on the map and included an oft-quoted poetic phrase about the Sierra Nevada lake that straddles the California...
But Stewart, a historical researcher and former U.S. Bureau of Land Management employee, said he still believes Twain camped at the cove on Lake Tahoe’s northeast shore near Incline Village.
“Personally, I’m totally comfortable that this is the campsite, but this is not the point of this nomination,” he said.
David Antonucci, of Homewood, Calif., a civil engineer and history writer who maintains Twain camped on the California side of the lake, pledged to fight the new bid. His opposition was cited as a factor in the earlier decision by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
The national board also cited opposition by the U.S. Forest Service as a factor in its decision. But the agency has since sent a letter to the state saying it would not take a position on the new request.
While Twain wrote adoringly about Lake Tahoe, the Forest Service noted that “his legacy also is that he carelessly started a forest fire” at his camp there.
Twain accidentally started the wildfire in September 1861 while preparing to cook dinner. He and a companion staked a timber claim there, weeks after he arrived in Carson City, with his brother, Orion, then secretary of Nevada Territory. Twain later assumed his pen name as a newspaper reporter in Virginia City.
The state board will take final action on the proposal after holding hearings in January and May. The national board is expected to act on the request sometime next summer in advance of Nevada’s 150th anniversary of statehood on Oct. 31.
Earlier this month, the Nevada Sesquicentennial Commission unanimously recommended naming the inlet at Tahoe as Clemens Cove, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Four police officers were injured during clashes with haredi Orthodox demonstrators protesting in Jerusalem against mandatory conscription.
The police used riot control measures, including stun grenades and water cannons, to break up the violent demonstration on Sunday night.
The demonstration took place in front of the Israel Defense Forces recruitment center in Jerusalem. Demonstrators reportedly also threw objects at police officers and passing cars.
The riot reportedly was sparked by attempts by the military police to arrest a woman, who was at the IDF recruitment office, for refusing to enlist.
Several demonstrators also were reported injured.
If Warren Buffett Loves Wells Fargo So Much, Why Is He Selling the Stock?
Berkshire Hathaway has unloaded more than 60 million Wells Fargo shares in recent years. What does it mean to investors?
Since news of Wells Fargo's (NYSE:WFC) fake accounts scandal broke, Warren Buffett has been asked several times whether he still thought the bank was a good investment. At Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B) most recent annual meeting in May 2018, Buffett was even asked by a shareholder at what point enough ...
Not only has Buffett repeatedly defended Wells Fargo as a good long-term investment, but he's even gone so far as to say that he thinks it will do quite well in the years ahead. Also, in May, Buffett told CNBC that he thought Wells Fargo would outperform the other big U.S. banks over the next decade.
Despite Buffett's positive comments about the bank, Berkshire sold nearly 10 million shares of Wells Fargo during the third quarter, but that isn't the whole story. The company has been gradually selling millions of Wells Fargo shares for some time now. Here's a look at how the Wells Fargo investment has shrunk since t...
Since it started reducing its Wells Fargo position in 2016, Berkshire's ownership has gone from more than 506 million shares to the current level of 442.4 million. That's a reduction of roughly 13%. However, it's not because of the bank's scandals or any other negative reason.
The reduction in Berkshire Hathaway's Wells Fargo investment is for one reason only: to keep Berkshire's ownership stake comfortably less than 10% of the bank's outstanding shares.
Why 10%? I won't go into too deep a legal discussion here, but to make a long story short, owning more than 10% of a bank comes with significant regulatory headaches. In a nutshell, holding 10% or more of a company's shares creates a presumption of control, and because banking is such a highly regulated industry, it's ...
To be perfectly clear, Berkshire is allowed to own more than 10% of Wells Fargo. An investor can own more than 10% but less than 25% of a banking institution by issuing a commitment to remain a passive investor. In fact, Berkshire applied to the Federal Reserve in 2016 for permission to increase the stake beyond 10%.
However, Berkshire quickly decided that owning more than 10% of Wells wasn't in its best interest. As Wells Fargo buys back shares, Berkshire's percentage ownership automatically increases over time even if it doesn't acquire any additional shares. That's why the company chooses to gradually sell chunks of its Wells Fa...
Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that Wells is buying back shares aggressively this year, presumably to take advantage of its depressed valuation. So investors should expect this gradual selling to continue, and it may even accelerate because of Wells' increased buyback rate.
Sure, it's easy to jump to conclusions by simply reading Berkshire's SEC filings (or an article about what the company bought and sold) and assume Buffett is losing faith in Wells Fargo. This is especially true for the most recent quarter -- Berkshire added shares of rival banks JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and oth...
However, don't read too much into the sale. If anything, I'd interpret this as a bullish call on Wells Fargo. Buffett is plowing billions of dollars into the banking sector and still chooses to maintain a near-maximum stake in Wells.
However, I'm not saying that Wells Fargo is a great investment right now, and I've written before that there are certain unanswered questions that make me hesitant to invest, even at the current valuation. Rather, the bottom line is that if you're a follower of Warren Buffett's stock moves, it would be the wrong interp...
There are two factions. You can label them with the same banana sticker banana sticker if you want, they're all lying sacks of sh*t, but there are two factions. When you walk into the House of Representatives or the Senate and walk down the center aisle on your right will be the Republicans. On your left will be the De...
The left–right political spectrum is a system of classifying political positions, ideologies and parties, from equality on the left to social hierarchy on the right. Left-wing politics and right-wing politics are often presented as opposed, although a particular individual or group may take a left-wing stance on one ma...
I see your point that we have two "Parties of Order", but the Democratic Party is still the "Party of Movement" towards equality. I'm just thinking that the farther left on the spectrum you are then the faster you want to movement to be.
I agree Gregor. There are two factions of the right. One faction serves the professional, credentialed class. The other serves the high net worth income individuals, religious zealots and racists.
I would disagree with your statement that the Democratic party is still the party of movement towards equality, except with sexual orientation issues. Economic inequality, the promotion of meritocracy, and the abandonment of Labor rights are all Hallmarks of the center right political orientation of the democratic part...
There is no left wing political party being seated anywhere in congress with the exception of Sanders chair in the Senate.
I'm watching the Ojeeda run in the reddest of the red district in the country with fascination since they tried to take him out with brass knuckles, NWP.
And there isn't going to be. But the Democrats can be nudged left sometimes.
Those are the parameters we have to work within.
It's never been easy for the left. Just ask Fidel or Che.
That's not how it was supposed to turn out.
I had to think awhile before responding to your statement Gregor.
On the surface it sounds simple enough.
It very clearly reflects the attitude of the establishment right wing Democratic Party. Narrowing the scope and range of possibilities for politics to provide real change to the sharing of resources and reducing the suffering of ordinary Americans all the while enriching its donor class. It reminds me of Thatcher's 'th...
I don't know where the idea comes from but it is shared by a good deal of people. In an odd way it seems to be a congenital blind spot for neoliberalism. It was beaten by it's very opposite political challenge from the ultra right. They have embarked on the decades long political project of pushing neoliberalism forwar...
That tantilizing idea has been finally realized with the unforeseen insurgent Trump. He managed to capture the darker imagination of what's possible by using a mixture of stolen left ideas, xenophobia and racism.
His polar opposite, Corbyn, ignited the imagination of what's possible and won a tremendous victory.
On either side of this presupposed, narrowed range of imagination are victories of the exact opposite of what your sentiment supposes. A perpetual running game when it's apparent that the field is wide open for a pass.
I understand the right wing grift of Neoliberals that are in the game. It's where the money is and it's thier job to con the left into voting for them.
It's the voters who keep insisting on the running game as the only one that we can and should expect that has baffled me.
Your wrong about a left wing not getting seated. It will be small but it's a start. May be to late but after massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue, [censored] the running game. Start throwing some long bombs down the field.
The right is very much getting what it wants. Neoliberalism is a con.
A good example of the co-option of the left by the right wingers going on in California. It's the same con that's worked from Clinton to Obama.
Find some one with some progressive street cred from once upon a time in their early life, show them the money and possibility of generational wealth, once loyalty is confirmed, send them out and run them against a true progressive left candidate.
Everyone's complaining about the fraud and grift of trump. Crickets to the charade being repeated in the right wing Democratic Party.
I'll go on the record that the high salaried young tech YIMBY workers that the right wing candidate in this race is courting will go libertarian, once they've made their nut, and flatter themselves with a phony self determination success story and finally go full blown Nazi in later mid-life. All their horrible ideas a...
I realize though that we may not have a chance to realize that outcome.
because a few will be elected this year? Keep an eye on them and you'll see just how quickly they are forced towards the middle. They'll be collared, leashed, and trained to stay in their place. Maybe they'll team up with Bernie to write bills that will be ignored.
Fidel went full authoritarian, Che was killed for his trouble.
I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee.
Wether the freshman left sniffs the air and wanders off to where the money is remains to be seen. I'm sure some will. The rest of the Democratic Party has done that so, yeah, it's probable a few will.
The point was, since Bill Clinton, the right wing of the Democratic Party has gone for the money. In return they have used the language of the left but have carried out policies and objectives of the right. That's not hyperbole, simply historical record.
Supporting the very institution that has brought about the conditions of facism is some kind of something. I'm not sure what. Especially when there's an alternative.
My guess is it will have to get much worse and far more dangerous before a real left populist movement can get a shot. Were going to relearn some very hard stuff with nukes and looming environmental catastrophe thrown in for fun.
I guess until then, there is not alternative.
I've beat this to death and will shut up now.
My guess is it will have to get much worse and far more dangerous before a real left populist movement can get a shot.
YES! The scales have finally fallen from your eyes! It took The Great Depression to create the circumstances that made FDR's New Deal possible. Until this Trumpian Dystopia unravels all we can hope for is to nudge the Democratic Party to the left.
I don't say this because I'm a Centrist or that I support centrist views. I say it because it's a goddam fact whether you and I like it or not. New job and wage reports are out...More new jobs than predicted, wages have gone up. Trumpism appears to be working.
Like everything else Trumpian it's a lie and it's temporary. But it's not an environment conducive to important leftward change. We continue to give the Republicans all the rope they need to hang themselves(they will) and we continue to nudge the Democrats leftward in tiny increments.
