White House Defies Impeachment Process in Letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Charlie Spiering
The White House on Tuesday sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denouncing the impeachment inquiry begun in the House of Representatives as "illegitimate."
"President Trump and his administration reject your baseless, unconstitutional efforts to overturn the democratic process," the letter read.
The eight-page letter was released by the White House to reporters on Tuesday evening.
White House counsel Pat Cipollone authored the letter, which directly challenged the Democrats in Congress.
The letter read:
Your unprecedented actions have left the president with no choice. In order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the Executive Branch, and all future occupants of the Office of the Presidency, President Trump and his administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.
The White House refused to comply with Democrat demands for witnesses and documents, citing the "legal and constitutional flaws" in the process.
Speaking to reporters after the letter was released, the White House sternly lectured the House Democrats for breaking precedent by hosting an impeachment process without holding an official vote.
"For the first time in our nation's history, the House of Representatives is now purporting to proceed an impeachment inquiry against the president, without conducting a vote on the house floor," a senior White House official said in a call with reporters after the letter was released.
The official did not detail whether the president was willing to cooperate with the House of Representatives' inquiry if the vote passed.
"We don't want to speculate on what would happen in various hypothetical situations," the official said.
The letter was also addressed to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot L. Engel, and House Committee on Oversight and Reform Chairman Elijah Cummings.
White House lawyers criticized Democrats' actions in denying the president the right to cross-examine witnesses, call witnesses, and receive testimony transcripts.
"All of this violates the Constitution, the rule of law, and every past precedent," the letter read. "Never before in our history has the House of Representatives-under the control of either political party-taken the American people down the dangerous path you seem determined to pursue."
The letter argued that Democrats were using impeachment hearings to reverse the 2016 election and to influence the 2020 election.
"The Founders, however, did not create the extraordinary mechanism of impeachment so it could be used by a political party that feared for its prospects against the sitting President in the next election," it read.

Exploring COVID-19's Impact on the Kidney
October 7, 2020 | Michaela Kane
By guiding stem cells to model kidney cells, Duke BME's Samira Musah is studying how the novel coronavirus can damage the important organs
Before the coronavirus pandemic spread around the globe, Samira Musah was focused on a different disease plaguing the world's population.
In her lab in Duke University's Department of Biomedical Engineering, Musah studies human kidney disease, a disorder that affects nearly 15 percent of people. When functioning correctly, kidneys filter blood and remove waste from the body. But when kidney function breaks down, dangerous levels of fluid and waste can build up in the body, damaging the heart, brain and immune system
Musah, an assistant professor in Duke BME and Medicine, uses pluripotent stem cells from patients to design environments that send signals to stem cells, telling them to differentiate into specific cell types, like kidney cells. By determining how to create different types of kidney cells, her lab can create more complex in-vitro models that mimic the overall structure and function of the kidneys, potentially allowing them to identify early disease markers for patients developing kidney disease.
As coronavirus cases began to rise in late March and early April, Musah began seeing reports that some patients diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, were also developing kidney disease, sometimes resulting in organ failure.
"The kidneys are the third most affected organs in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Reports from several hospitals in China and the US suggest that about 70 percent of COVID-19 patients with acute kidney disease die, and those still living require renal replacement therapies."
Samira Musah
Titilola Kalejaiye prepares material for the lab so they can better understand how the virus enters kidney cells
"We don't fully understand the mechanism of this disease, or how it targets and damages the kidneys. To make things more challenging, the virus does not infect or cause COVID-19 in animals as it does in humans, so we don't have an animal model that can help answer these questions fully."
Using their stem cell-derived organ-on-a-chip model to mimic key structures and functions of the human kidney, Musah and her team, including postdoctoral fellow, set out to answer these questions by exploring what changes occur in the kidney cells after they've been infected with a synthetic version of SARS-CoV-2.
"We'll be focusing our work on exploring how the virus enters kidney cells, and we'll also check for activated immune cells," says Kalejaiye. "A recent report outlined that there is direct injury to kidney tubules and epithelia from the virus, as opposed to damage caused by an immune reaction, like a cytokine storm, so we'll use our platform to explore those ideas."
The team also hopes to use their models to help test and develop therapies for COVID-19 infection. According to Musah, most drugs fail in clinical trials because they are toxic to the kidneys. They're optimistic that their platform can speed up the drug development process and nephrotoxicity screening for COVID-19 and other diseases.
"Several research teams are exploring the possibility of repurposing some existing FDA-approved drugs to help treat COVID-19," says Musah. "If successful, our strategy could speed up this drug development timeline and potentially help improve patient outcomes."

Captain Poison (Spanish: El capitán Veneno) is a 1951 Spanish historical comedy film directed by Luis Marquina and starring Sara Montiel, Fernando Fernán Gómez and Amparo Martí. It is an adaptation of a novel of the same title by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón which had previously been made into a 1943 Argentine film and a 1945 Mexican film. The story is set in Spain during the 1840s, in the reign of Isabella II.

Synopsis
Set in 1848 during the reign of Isabel II, it tells the story of Captain Jorge de Córdoba, nicknamed "Captain Poison" for his extremely conflictive character that prevents him from being at peace with anyone. Hardened bachelor and always manifesting his aversion towards the female sex, Don Jorge suffers great humiliation when he is wounded in a street riot and is saved by the young Angustias, his mother and his servant. Due to the injuries sustained, "Captain Poison" has no choice but to spend his convalescence in that home with three women, which provokes continual outbursts of temper. However, little by little, things change when the severe soldier is impacted by the internal tragedy of the family and, of course, he will end up succumbing to the charms of the beautiful Angustias.

The facts on coronavirus aren't all scary. So why so much fear?
Alia E. Dastagir, USA TODAY
Coronavirus has the world on edge.
The outbreak is now a global pandemic, and seven weeks after the first U.S. case was announced outside Seattle, the number of people in the U.S. now known to be infected with the new strain has surpassed 1,000, with 38 dead. And the numbers keep climbing.
Coast to coast, large public gatherings and major events have been canceled. Employees have been told to work from home, universities have moved all classes online and elementary schools have closed for sanitizing. The stock market has seen meteoric crashes. Declarations of emergency are being proclaimed, and New York has deployed the National Guard to the hard-hit city of New Rochelle, north of New York City.
As the number of confirmed cases of illness grows, so too does the nation's collective uncertainty. Psychologists and public health experts say public anxiety is high, and it's largely fueled by a feeling of powerlessness.
"When we feel, 'Oh my God, there's a new boogeyman out there,' it comes with extra fear," said David Ropeik, an expert on risk communication. "When we don't understand something that leaves us feeling like we don't know everything we need to know to protect ourselves ... that equates to powerlessness, vulnerability."
Coronavirus, explained: Everything to know, from symptoms to how to prepare
The spread of the new coronavirus is not just a public health crisis. It's a global event pervading nearly every aspect of people's lives, causing them to worry not only about getting sick themselves but about Grandma's health, what to do with out-of-school kids, and how to absorb their rapidly shrinking 401(k)s.
Uncertainty about the nature and trajectory of the threat exacerbates a feeling of not being in control.
"It's a new, unknown illness, we don't know how severe it's going to be, and we don't know how concerned to be," said Lynn Bufka, associate executive director for research and policy at the American Psychological Association and an expert on anxiety, stress and cultural issues. "The idea that we can hopefully reduce transmissions through really good hand-washing feels insufficient. It's not anything new. And how will you know if you've done it well enough?"
It's why many people are rushing out to buy toilet paper, face masks, disinfectant and hand sanitizer. It makes them feel they are at least doing something, she said.
Managing the outbreak: A self-quarantine seems brutal when you're not sick – but it really is for the greater good
Part of what drives feelings of anxiety is a lack of information. The virus is new, and there remain many questions about the illness it causes. Most people haven't had it, nor do they know someone who has. Experts say that matters.
"We understand the flu, we have personal experience with it. That makes it less scary," Bufka said. "We know what to expect with something like that. As humans we can read information, hear information from others and take all that in, but personal experience makes a difference."

Even as confirmed cases of the virus increase, the more people learn, the better they'll feel.
"We've filled in some of the blanks," Ropeik said. "We know who this affects. We know how it spreads. We know who is more vulnerable and who is less vulnerable. That knowledge is disinfectant."
I keep telling people yeah i ain't afraid of the coronavirus. I'm be alright. What I forget is there are parents and grandparents who it mainly affects. The spread of this puts their health at risk and that's what scares me. Already lost my pops n i ain't tryna lose no one else.
— Yultron (@yultron) March 10, 2020
A looming threat
David Clark, a clinical psychologist and author of "The Runaway Mind," said public fear may be heightened because of "looming vulnerability."
"When a danger or threat is gradually approaching it tends to be more frightening to us, than, let's say, if danger were to appear all of a sudden," Clark said of theory. "We started out with media reports from China which seemed to be very distant to us, not a particular threat, but then over the weeks we see this encroaching, getting closer and closer to home."
Now it's in the U.S., but not necessarily in everyone's state or community. As it expands, people remain anxious about if and when it will touch their lives.
Different people, different reactions
Not everyone reacts to epidemics the same way. Some people are cautious – washing their hands for the time it takes to sing two "Happy Birthdays." Some only one round. Others are stockpiling food and medicine as if an apocalypse were imminent.
Clark says that when news is mixed, people can choose to focus on the good or the bad.
The good news is, for most people, the illness caused by the coronavirus is generally mild and the flu-like symptoms of fever and cough don't last long. The bad news is the virus is novel and highly contagious, and right now there is no vaccine. The elderly and those with compromised immune systems or chronic diseases can become very sick and in some cases die.
Whether people fixate on the good or the bad has a lot to do with who they are.
"There are people who are particularly concerned about illness, disease – they feel a heightened sense of their own mortality," Clark said. "They're paying more attention to the bad news side of the messaging and probably having a harder time processing the good news side."
The appearance of mixed messages
That bad news/good news dichotomy can make people feel as though they are getting mixed messages. Reports say most people who contract the coronavirus experience symptoms similar to the flu. Then people read stories about the National Guard helping with quarantine containment.
If the risk to most people is mild to moderate symptoms, why does it feel as if the world is shutting down?
Public health officials are "trying to tamp down the infectivity curve," Ropeik said. "Think of it like the top of a big wave. They're trying to keep it from going up too sharply. If it goes up too fast and too high, the people who need health care will be crowding hospitals all at once, making it impossible for everybody who needs it to get care."
There are elderly folks, people with chronic conditions, people with suppressed or compromised immune systems, folks living paycheck to paycheck who absolutely CANNOT afford to fall ill right now. Their lives literally depend on community members making RESPONSIBLE choices.

As President Donald Trump sought to reassure nervous Americans, some of his public statements also contradicted public health officials. He drew considerable fire last month for suggesting at a rally that the virus would take care of itself as spring approached.
"It looks like by April," he told supporters on the eve of the presidential primary in New Hampshire. "You know in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away; hope that's true, but we are doing great in our country."
This week Trump's remarks took a marked turn when he said that the epidemic "blindsided the world," that the challenge was "not our country's fault" and that a "very dramatic" stimulus was needed to stanch plummeting markets.
Coronavirus response: President Trump restricts 'all travel' from EU to US
The role of the media
Health experts say the media has an important role to play. It must dispense accurate information without being sensational, and it must avoid exploiting people's fears. A blog post from the Poynter Institute, which trains journalists, noted that saying "deadly virus" can be misleading, because the virus is not deadly for most people.
People should also limit their media exposure, experts say. They caution against reading about the outbreak obsessively and recommend getting needed information and moving on.
"The best thing is to find some trusted sources, the outlets which are providing accurate information, and be cautious about social media," Bufka said. "You don't have to be constantly seeking information."
Think it's time to mute Coronavirus. There's a thin line between being aware and living in constant fear and anxiety.
— The Rich Auntie✨ (@tiadoesvegan) March 11, 2020
Bufka says that in times of uncertainty, people should strive for emotional balance. Maintain routines. Find someone who can help check fears and concerns. Don't talk frequently to the friend who's in a frenzy about it – fear, experts say, is contagious.
We're all impacted by coronavirus. Fear. Anxiety. Paranoia. It's everywhere. I'm fighting these toxic feelings by doing at least one thing everyday that brings me joy.

Why it may be OK that everyone is buying toilet paper
There isn't any real practical reason to stock up on toilet paper, but it may make people feel a bit in control of a situation rife with unknowns. Ropeik says that's important, because constant worry may make people more susceptible to the very thing they fear. Long-term stress is known to weaken the immune system.
"The more worried we are, the more vulnerable we are to this disease," Ropeik said. "The less worried we are because we bought toilet paper, silly as that seems, the more we've reduced our fear and minimized the effects on our immune system."

In taking charge of a Pentagon battered by leadership churn, the Biden administration will look to one holdover as a source of military continuity: Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. President-elect Joe Biden will inherit Milley as his senior military adviser, and although Biden could replace Milley, he likely won't. A Princeton-educated history buff with the gift of gab, Milley has been a staunch defender of the military's apolitical tradition even as President Donald Trump packed the Pentagon with political loyalists.
UN says breakthrough achieved in Libya transition talks
The top U.N. official for Libya said Saturday an advisory committee for representatives of Libya's different regions has proposed a way forward for choosing a transitional government that would lead the war-torn country to elections late this year. The talks in Geneva, structured around the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum, have been taking place amid a heavy international push to reach a peaceful settlement to Libya's civil war. U.N. acting envoy for Libya Stephanie Williams told a news conference in Geneva that the advisory committee's members "have met their responsibility with a constructive spirit, cooperative efforts, and a great deal of patriotism."
House Democrat leading the impeachment remembers his son Trump's trial could start immediately after Biden takes powerUS politics – live coverage Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland. Photograph: J Scott Applewhite/AP Jamie Raskin, the House Democrat leading the impeachment of Donald Trump, remembered his son Tommy on Sunday and said: "I'm not going to lose my son at the end of 2020 and lose my country and my republic in 2021. It's not going to happen." Tommy Raskin, a Harvard law student who struggled with depression, died on New Year's Eve. He was 25. His father, a constitutional law professor and representative from Maryland, was this week named as lead impeachment manager for Trump's second Senate trial. The president was impeached for the second time for inciting the attack on the US Capitol on 6 January, in which five people died, to further his baseless claim that the election was stolen. Trump's trial could start immediately after Joe Biden takes power on Wednesday. Raskin discussed the impeachment on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. He was also asked about his son. "Tommy was a remarkable person," he said. "He had overwhelming love for humanity and for our country, in his heart, and really for all the people of the world. We lost him on the very last day of that God awful year, 2020, and he left us a note, which said 'Please forgive me, my illness won today, look after each other, the animals and the global poor for me, all my love Tommy.' "And that was the last act in a life that dazzled." People were asking, he said, why he agreed to take on such a senior role in the impeachment trial at such a difficult time. "First of all," he said, with a laugh, "I don't know if you've ever tried to say no to Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi about anything. She's actually been very sensitive and thoughtful but she wanted me to do it because she knows that I've devoted my life to the constitution and to the republic. I'm a professor of constitutional law, but I did it really with my son in my heart, and helping lead the way. I feel him in my chest. "When we went to count the electoral college votes and [the Capitol] came under that ludicrous attack, I felt my son with me and I was most concerned with our youngest daughter and my son in law, who is married to our other daughter, who were with me that day and who got caught in a room off of the House floor. "In between them and me was a rampaging armed mob, that could have killed them easily and was banging on the doors where they were hiding under a desk with my chief of staff, Julie Tagen. "These events are personal to me. There was an attack on our country, there was an attack on our people." Asked how he could deal with such "trauma on top of trauma", Raskin said: "I'm not going to lose my son at the end of 2020 and lose my country and my republic in 2021. It's not going to happen. "And the vast majority of American people, Democrats, Republicans and independents, reject armed insurrection and violence as a new way of doing business in America. We're not going to do that. "This was the most terrible crime ever by a president of the United States against our country. And I want everybody to feel the gravity and the solemnity of those events at the same time of course that all of us are deeply invested in President-elect Biden, and Vice-President-elect [Kamala] Harris, moving the country forward." According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four Americans under the age of 25 have considered suicide since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Raskin was asked if he had a message for people dealing with depression either personally or in family members. "We don't want to lose anybody else," he said. "We've been hearing from thousands and thousands of people across the country and if any of them are out there, thank you for your kindness to our family." He added that the family had "set up the Tommy Raskin Memorial Fund for People and Animals, which now has more than $400,000 in it, his classmates at Harvard Law School raised $5,000 or $6,000 so that the causes he believed in would keep going. "But we don't have to wait for people to die for people to listen to them. We can listen to you right now." In the US, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is at 800-273-8255 or chat for support.

Iran urged the United Nations' nuclear watchdog to avoid publishing "unnecessary" details on Tehran's nuclear program, state TV reported Sunday, a day after Germany, France and Britain said Tehran has "no credible civilian use" for its development of uranium metal. The report quoted a statement from Iran's nuclear department that asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to avoid publishing details on Iran's nuclear program that may cause confusion.
Brazilian approval of Sputnik V vaccine delayed by missing data
Brazil's health regulator is seeking further data on Russia's Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine before considering its approval for emergency use. Documents supporting drugmaker Uniao Quimica's application for emergency use of the vaccine have been returned to the company because they did not meet its minimum criteria, the watchdog said on Saturday. In a statement on the Health Ministry's website, regulator Anvisa said the request failed to provide adequate assurances on Phase III clinical trials and issues related to the manufacture of the vaccine.

Today's Cool Album of the Day (#992 in the Series) is The Waterboys, This is the Sea.
Don't worry, you could easily be forgiven if you don't! You'll know the bands associated with it though.
The Big Music was a description thrown about in the early 80's (here in the UK at least) and it was applied, mostly, to a small grouping of bands who were just starting to make an impression on the music buying public and who were all deemed to be making a similar grandiose, epic, "reaching for the sky" type music. You or I would probably just have settled for the term Stadium Rock to be honest ! Still, that's music journalists for you eh ?
And as for the bands in question, well, do the names U2, Simple Minds, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Waterboys ring any bells ? Slightly later, you could probably throw The Alarm and The Icicle Works into the mix as well.
Needless to say, none of the bands in question were much in favour of this idea of lumping them all in together like this and were at great pains to point out that the whole thing was a (music) media fabrication and that they had a lot more differences than they had things in common.
Well, I don't suppose any of that matters now, all these years later. What we're left with, as ever, is the music itself and some of it was undoubtedly great, albums like "War" (U2) and "Ocean Rain" (Echo & The Bunnymen) in particular being more than able to stand the test of time. And, standing alongside those and more than capable of holding it's own amidst such fine company, is this one This Is The Sea by The Waterboys.
"Well here we are in a special place".
He's not wrong ! A great start and the first of many highlights.
"Old England" a sort of "state of the nation" address, brutally lays bare the terrible impact that Margaret Thatcher's early 80's policies had on Britain's industrial heartlands which were by this time a far from Promised Land and had become places "where children stare, with heroin eyes". There's also time to savage the post-Falklands war jingoism which had helped sweep her to a second election victory in 1983.
The title track "This Is The Sea" is an anthem of empowerment, a message to all those who've grown world-weary and broken down. Here's Mike to let them know that it's all gonna be just fine if only they can keep the faith and a positive attitude. Which of course all sounds ever so slightly patronizing. Trust me though, it doesn't really come across that way, his passion is infectious and pulls you in, by the end you'd believe just about anything he tells you.
The songs brevity (1:48) undoubtedly helps get the point across.
And, of course, the crème de la crème..…."The Whole Of The Moon".
Not only the high point of the entire album but also of Mike Scott's entire career and one of the decade's very best singles. It's a wondrous, at times awe-inspiring, tune which simply brims with infectious energy. One of my personal all-time favourites without question, it's become a radio staple and one of the rare examples of where familiarity most certainly DOESN'T breed contempt !
And there we have it, a fine album delivered and everything rosy in the garden. Well, maybe not. Band member Karl Wallinger ( a very talented man in his own right) left in short order and went on to form his own band, World Party. They made some damn fine music in the following years.
to take a step back from the cycle, there'd been three albums and numerous tours in three years. He moved to Ireland and got inspired by the music and the craic over there and when he came back in the late 80's it was with a new sound (for him anyway), an intense blending of Rock and Irish folk music, no doubt inspired by the work of one of his great influences Van Morrison on albums like "Into The Music". And it was a return which yielded two more great albums………..but that's a tale for another time !
Mike went solo for a short while but resumed with the band name and The Waterboys are still going strong, an imminent new album promises to set the wondrous poems of W.B. Yeats to Scott's music, something he's dabbled with in the past to great success, I for one can't wait to hear it..…..…….
All songs written by Mike Scott except where noted.
I remember seeing the Waterboys play the Glasgow Barrowlands at Hogmanay (New Yrs Eve) 1989 and have to say its still one of my all time fave gigs, Mike Scott was a terrific frontman and its a pity they never really got the credit they deserved. A truly fantastic album, Trumpets being my favourite track.
So here's a group that I don't recall from 85. Thanks for the lead and great post!

Q: Can I customise a Fixture in an XUnit constructor for use with Theory and AutoData? Here is what I am trying to do:
public class MyTests
{
    private IFixture _fixture;

    public MyTests()
    {
        _fixture = new Fixture();
        _fixture.Customize<Thing>(x => x.With(y => y.UserId, 1));
    }

    [Theory, AutoData]
    public void GetThingsByUserId_ShouldReturnThings(IEnumerable<Thing> things)
    {
        things.First().UserId.Should().Be(1);
    }
}

I would expect the  IEnumerable<Thing> things parameter passed into the test to each have a UserId of 1 but this is not what happens.
How can I make this so?

A: You can do that by creating a custom AutoData attribute derived-type:
internal class MyAutoDataAttribute : AutoDataAttribute
{
    internal MyAutoDataAttribute()
        : base(
            new Fixture().Customize(
                new CompositeCustomization(
                    new MyCustomization())))
    {
    }

    private class MyCustomization : ICustomization
    {
        public void Customize(IFixture fixture)
        {
            fixture.Customize<Thing>(x => x.With(y => y.UserId, 1));
        }
    }
}

You may also add other Customizations. Just keep in mind that the order matters.

Then, change the test method to use MyAutoData attribute instead, as shown below:
public class MyTests
{
    [Theory, MyAutoData]
    public void GetThingsByUserId_ShouldReturnThings(IEnumerable<Thing> things)
    {
        things.First().UserId.Should().Be(1);
    }
}

Balloon Jacket for Bike Riders!!
Concept of air bags is common in 4 wheelers where it will inflates when something terrible happens. Bike riders till now is dependent on helmets itself, but helmets alone cannot guarantee your life in major accidents. For this reason the concept of air bags is remodelled to a new design named 'Safety Sphere'. Biker must wear this suit while riding. When any accident happens, it will inflates into a sphere ball with in fraction of seconds providing safety on the spot. On the flip side, this concept did not explain the situation of the rider after the sphere is formed. He might roll down the streets!!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will miss the Nintendo Switch's March launch, according to one report.
Emily Rogers, a blogger who has been proven correct on Nintendo Switch rumours in the past, first reported the news from "multiple sources," while Eurogamer says it has also heard the much-anticipated Zelda title will not be available come the Switch's release.
If true, this would place the game's release around mid-2017, which unless the Switch is also delayed would come after the console is in the hands of the public.
Nintendo's most recent estimate for Breath of the Wild's launch was simply "2017," while the Switch is confirmed to be coming out in March the same year. Many had assumed the Zelda title would release alongside the new console, as it had previously been delayed multiple times and was confirmed to be releasing simultaneously on Wii U and NX (later revealed as the Switch). Fuel was added to the fire when Link amiibo were rumored to be launching March 4, 2017. It remains to be seen whether Breath of the Wild's simultaneous Wii U / Switch launch will also be affected, or even if the rumor is true at all.
GameSpot has contacted Nintendo for comment; we'll update if we hear more.

New York Rangers Prospects
2017 NHL Draft Grades: New York Rangers
By Joseph Fortunato@JoeFortunatoBSB Jun 26, 2017, 12:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: 2017 NHL Draft Grades: New York Rangers
Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
The past two years I've taken the day after the draft to come up with my person draft day grades for the New York Rangers. In case you want to see how this has worked in the past, here's what my past two were:
Here are the 2015 grades.
Last year I loved Sean Day, Tarmo Reunanen, and Ty Ronning. Day and Ronning both exceeded expectations last year, and Reunanen always was going to need a little time to develop, so I'm giving myself a great grade here.
I liked Tim Gettinger and Tyler Wall. I did very well here, too.
I did not like Gabriel Fontaine. Still think it was an overage reach, and still don't see a path to the NHL for him. So yeah, I'm giving myself a passing grade.
What I'm trying to tell you if that I am a genius and you should take these grades to the bank.
As a reminder: These grades take into account a few things: Where the Rangers were selecting, who they actually selected, who was left on the board, assumed value/risk, and whatever else I feel plays a role in the selection.
While not part of the draft itself, coverage of the Derek Stepan trade that led to the Rangers getting the 7th overall selection in the draft can be found here.
Selecting Lias Andersson in the 1st Round (7th overall) (Coverage here) (Bonus coverage here)
Analysis: The New York Rangers had a top-10 pick for the first time since selecting Dylan McIlrath in 2010, and a first round pick for the first time since they selected Brady Skjei in 2012.
There was an enormous expectation for the Rangers to make a mind-blowing pick here, especially considering what it cost to get this selection in the first place. What the Rangers did was play the fairway, rather than trying to drive the green. (For non-golfers, the Rangers played it safe.)
Here's a little background on why this particular move wasn't as foolish as some people seemed to think it was (from our bonus coverage):
Now, it's not the biggest deal in the world to reach a few picks for a guy you really like. But in a draft where it seemed like moving down was preferable to moving up, and with the Rangers being devoid of a second and third round pick this year? Yeah, moving from 7th to 14th or 15th in order to earn an extra second round pick might have been smarter.
Right after his selection, however, it was rumored the Los Angeles Kings (sitting at 11) were hot and heavy for Andersson, and the Rangers obviously weren't sure they'd be able to fall back and still have him around, so they grabbed him at 7th.
I can tell you with relative certainty that the first round played out in a way that led to this move. The Rangers were very interested in Elias Pettersson, but he was taken 6th by Vancouver. Cale Makar was one of their highest rated defenseman and he was taken 4th overall. When your top of the card players are being selected, it changes the strategy a little.
Andersson is one of the few players in this draft with a plethora of professional experience. Unlike these other kids being selected out of juniors, Andersson has played two years in the SHL as a teenager. He's slated to play for Frölunda next year (yes, that's where Henrik Lundqvist came from) which is one of the best developmental spots in the world.
Were there players with potentially more upside on the board when the Rangers selected? Yes, and there's really no debating it. However, Andersson is considered to be a "sure thing" in terms of being a top-six player in the NHL. As some scouts put it: He's not going to be the best player on your team, but he can be a top-line guy.
Also, Andersson had an explosive second half of the year in the SHL. There's plenty of evidence to suggest he was a late bloomer, and his early season struggles (again, in the second best men's hockey league in the world as a teenager) saw him fall a few notches. He has a ton of international experience for Sweden, and has next year to continue to hone his skills before making the jump to the NHL.
Although it is worth noting that some scouts believe he could make a push for a longer stay in camp this year — which I think is saying something.
Alex Nunn's scouting report:
18-year old Andersson is one of 2017's safer draft picks, right on the border of being NHL-ready. As a top-six pivot with offensive and defensive responsibilities for HV71 this season, Andersson showcased his quality at both ends of the ice en-route to a national championship. He's a strong skater with soft hands, excellent IQ, and an endless motor who likes to keep it simple. Andersson is the kind of guy a coach can lean on to score key goals, win faceoffs, kill penalties, and take tough assignments. He hounds the puck relentlessly and uses his deft touch to finish chances around the net. Not a high-upside guy capable of dazzling crowds, but a tremendous team player that fans are going to adore.
Selecting Filip Chytil in the 1st Round (21st overall) (Coverage here) (Bonus coverage here)
Analysis: If the Rangers went safe with the 7th overall selection, they made a really smart gamble at 21 -- even if there were safer picks on the board.
The first thing to know about Chytil is that he won't be 18 until September. That should impress the hell out of you when you realize he played in the Czech professional hockey league this year, notching 8 points in 38 games on a bad team. In their fight to avoid relegation (which they did) he went 1-1-2 in the two playoff games.
Internationally his numbers are even more impressive; sporting a 6-7-13 scoreline in 19 U18 games for Czech as a 17-year-old. In the U18 WJC he had five points in as many games and centered Czech's top line. For The Czech U18 in the Hlinka Memorial he had a 2-1-3 scoreline in four games.
From our bonus coverage, here's some of his younger stats against a higher age group:
As a 15-year-old: Chytil recorded 30 goals and 18 assists for 48 points in 25 HC Zlin U16 games. He was so dominant that he was moved to the U18 level where he notched nine points in 19 games.
As a 16-year-old: Chytil scored 28 goals and added 22 assists for 50 points in 30 HC Zlin U18 games. That year he also notched seven points in 20 U17 international games.
Was this a risky pick? Yes. His rankings are all over the board from the 28th best prospect by Hockey Prospect, to the 31st best by TSN/McKenzie, to the 11th best EU skater by NHL Central Scouting, to 64th by ISS Hockey, or 70th by Future Considerations.
You might notice the grade is very high, and it's because the Rangers strategy in the first round was brilliant. They went safe with seventh, and took the insane upside at 21. I'm buying into the fact that at 17 Chytil was overlooked by a lot of teams when he shouldn't have been. And it's clear the NYR scouted the Czech Republic hard this year.
Michal Sedláček is a Czech-based hockey writer who actually covered HC Zlin (where Chytil plays). He'll be helping us out in coverage this year, so make sure to give him a follow on twitter. (Full disclosure, English is not his first language so I've cleaned up a little of his scouting report.)
Filip Chytil comes from Zlín, a small town in the Czech Republic and the town where Roman Hamrlik was born and played. He made a big step this year, starting to play again men last August in friendly matches. At the time he made that jump he was only 16 years old. He played great at the Hlinka Memorial and played very well in preseason. So the coaches gave him the chance to play in the Czech extralig. He became a fan favorite among fans quickly because of his style of play nice. In my eyes Chytil plays the game a little like Auston Matthews. He is very strong on the puck and is a good skater. Chytil said he often watches Matthews and McDavid. These two players are his idols.
I think if he plays in the Czech league for another year it will be for the best. Because Zlín is not such a good team he'll likely be a key player and get a chance to continue his development. The coaches will probably give him a lot of time on the ice and play him as the first or second line center. And he's still very young, only turning 18 on September 5th.
About his stats in the Czech league ... These numbers are not so amazing, but he played great. He had a great chances, showed a good skill and created passes for his teammates. This year he made a big and fast jump ahead. I think he has great potential to become a good NHL player.
(It's worth noting here that his professional team is not a good one, which probably hurts his numbers a little as well. The upside there is he's not fighting for a key role, since he'll have a shot to take on a bigger role here.)
Although still a little raw, Czech forward Chytil has everything in his arsenal to be an impact forward at NHL level. He's smart, high-skilled, and an excellent skater. Chytil carries the puck with confidence, instigating aggressive scoring plays and making quick, precise decisions on-the-fly. He knows when to hold back and when to commit, using his speed and footwork to buy himself more time if necessary. The 17-year old plays a bigger game than his frame would suggest too; Chytil hustles back hard and helps out defensively, never afraid to work for it against bigger players in the defensive zone.
Trading the 102nd selection to San Jose for the 123rd and 174th selections (Coverage here)
Analysis: Devoid of a 2nd or 3rd round pick, and noticing the market for trading up was too hot to handle, Jeff Gorton traded the 102nd pick for two more selections. After the third round, these picks are truly lottery tickets. The best thing you can do is get more of them, especially in the later rounds. No issues here.
Selecting Brandon Crawley in the 4th round (123rd overall) (Coverage here)
Analysis: Reaching for overage players is fine in the later rounds, but in this draft more than others there were a plethora of players who were free falling. Projected second and third round talent fell all the way to the final names being called, and with the 123rd overall selection the Rangers could have gotten themselves one of those falling names.
Crawley is 20-years-old playing in the OHL, which means I take some of the "loves the physical play" and "really pushed guys off the puck this year" with a grain of salt. At 20, he should be doing that, since he's playing against teenagers. His defense is something that's been his calling card, and he had 114 penalty minutes last year, so he's not afraid to get rough and tough. As much as that can be a red flag to warn of a guy with a temper, he only had 10 penalty minutes in 14 playoff games, so it's clear he can keep things in check when it matters. (His past three seasons in the OHL have seen massive dropoffs in PIM from regular season to playoffs.)
For what it's worth, Corey Pronman seemed to have his eye on Crawley:
NYR selects Brandon Crawley. One of my fav sleepers. Older defenseman, but always looked effective when I saw London.
— Corey Pronman (@coreypronman) June 24, 2017
It's not so much that I mind taking the risk on him, but I do mind when they took the risk on him. There were much better players to take here, and Crawley would have been around deeper in the draft.
Selecting Calle Sjalin in the 5th round (145rd overall) (Coverage here)
Analysis: Where I thought Crawley was a reach selection, Sjalin was outstanding value at 174th overall.
Akin to Chytil, Sjalin isn't turning 18 until September, so the fact that he played last year in the third division of Sweden hockey shouldn't be troublesome to you. He also really impressed on the national levels this year, as seen below by Blueshirt Banter foreign corespondent Alex Nunn:
Calle Själin's a good left-hand defenseman. Always dependable for Sweden at U18 level last season. Contracted to Leksand 2017/18. #NYR
— Alex Nunn (@aj_ranger) June 24, 2017
Agree 100% on this. Själin bailed Westerlund out A LOT at international level. #NYR https://t.co/IG64VdxSjs
He's contracted to play in Allsvenskan next year (think of it as the AHL of the SHL), and as a very young 18-year-old the experience is going to be great for him. He was ranked 199th by Hockey Prospect and 163rd by ISS. NHL Central Scouting had him as their 44th best European skater. Despite that, I really like the value here, and like Chytil I think his age played a role in some of those rankings.
Själin is a reliable two-way defenseman. Unspectacular but solid, the 17-year old left-hand shot was a standout blue line option for Sweden during the U18 World Juniors this year, where he propped up partner Filip Westerlund. Själin keeps it simple and doesn't tend to over complicate things at either end of the ice. He's a good skater who plays smart and can impact a game in all three zones. Should make the step-up from Division 1 to Allsvenskan next season with Leksand.
Selecting Dominik Lakatos in the 6th round (157th overall) (Coverage here)
Analysis: Lakatos fit the mold of most Rangers picks this year; causing both a "who the hell?" reaction from Rangers fans and him being an older player. The difference? Here the Rangers grabbed an overage who is playing professionally in Europe.
Lakatos -- like Andersson — caught the Rangers' eyes because of an explosive surge at the end of his season. In 44 games in the Czech League he had 20 points, but then come the playoffs he recorded 13 points in 16 games. At just 20-years-old, his developmental opportunities with men in a pro league seems to have gone a long way with the Rangers.
At this point in the draft, I like the risk. Yes, there were continued falling talents who the Rangers kept passing on, but at the very least they got a guy who has been surging upward and has professional experience.
Also, this fits my rule about overages: you're going to risk an overage, take a guy who is playing against men rather than someone who is playing against lower age groups.
Here's a video of all eight of his playoff goals this year, from Alex:
Here are all eight playoff goals by #NYR sixth-round selection Dominik Lakatoš from this past season. Consistent theme. pic.twitter.com/2pNbglGycJ
Selecting Morgan Barron in the 6th round (174th overall) (Coverage here)
Analysis: Barron is a Cornell commit who had outstanding pre-college numbers. The problem? He did so in a much lesser league.
For St. Andrew's College (a prep school) the 18-year-old had 50 points in 46 games. But when the season ended and he played five games in the USHL with Sioux City he recorded no points. Now, that's not an attack on him — going to a new team let alone a new league can wreak havoc with a player's groove — but it's something to keep an eye on. The ECAC has gotten far more competitive in college ranks, and Cornell isn't the worst place for him to go learn to round out his game.
The good news is that he did dominate the lesser leagues, finishing his CAHS career with 122 points in 104 games.
The reason for the lower grade is because (again) with falling talent he was a bit of a reach. For what it is worth, his overall ranking was a little all over the place. Hockey Prospects had him at 158th overall while Future Considerations had him at 219th. Central Scouting gave him the 98th overall ranking for NA skaters.
Selecting Patrik Virta in the 7th round (207th overall) (Coverage here)
Analysis: This deep in the draft you take your risks. Virta is 21-years-old, and thus a triple-overage, but he's playing in a pro circuit and had a breakout year this season.
Like Andersson and Lakaos before him, Virta had a great second half and finished his Liiga season with a 5-1-6 scoreline in six playoff games. His U20 numbers were outstanding in Finland (75 points in 43 games) and he has played the past two years in the top Finnish ranks of Liiga.
Again, far more "sure thing" falling names were available, and the Rangers did grab another overage, but at the very least they took a guy who is an overage in a pro league. There is a very positive growth trend in his numbers (he went from 2-2-4 in 33 games two years ago to 14-12-26 in 49 games last year) and his playoffs were obviously on another level.
I don't love passing on some of the players the Rangers did, but I see the attraction to Virta.
21-year old Virta plays a fast-paced game, utilizing good wheels and a quick shot to cause problems around the opposition net. He finds open areas well and does not hesitate to get the puck away quickly in and around the slot. Strong on his skates and a solid forechecker, Virta made his breakthrough with Liiga club TPS this past season and should continue to take on more responsibility in 2017/18 as a team-mate of Rangers' 2016 draft pick Tarmo Reunanen.
There you have it. See you all next year!

I had a phone screen with the HR rep and then a phone screen with the hiring manager. The hiring manager gave me a really positive vibe though the role he was describing was not the same as the listing. He asked me when I could start and quoted a potential salary so it felt very promising. I then went for an in person interview and everyone I met with was very nice and I again felt like things were going well. However a few days later I was told I did not get the job. The reason I was given was experience level they were looking for someone more senior than me. Experience level should be screened out by HR not after two phone screens and an in person interview. I even asked in my interview if there was anything that they were looking for that I did not have and was told no. Clearly I was either lied to or people were not on the same page as to what the role was supposed to be. Either way seems like I dodged a bullet.

What Will President Address in His State of the Union? Here are Some Good Guesses
Posted 11:12 am, February 5, 2019, by CNN
WASHINGTON, DC — When Trump gave his State of the Union address last year, he was coming off one of the highest points in his presidency. He had just signed a huge tax cut into law and removed the Obamacare mandate penalty. Both the House and Senate were controlled by Republicans, and he was enjoying some of his highest approval ratings as president.
Tonight, Trump is delivering his address in the wake of the longest government shutdown in US history. The House has been taken over by Democrats, funding for the border wall is still off the table in negotiations, he remains hounded by the Robert Mueller investigation, and his approval rating remains around 40%.
According to one senior administration official, the theme of Trump's speech is "choosing greatness." Topics are set to include the economy, immigration, trade, healthcare, and foreign policy. "It's going to be a speech that's going to cover a lot of territory," Trump told reporters last week.
As a pre-SOTU guide, we've taken a look at the President's recent rhetoric and the facts around the topics he may touch on.
Immigration and The Wall
More than anything else, the issues of immigration and border security have consumed Trump's first two years in office. Here's a look at some recent talking points and whether they're true.
"You don't bring trucks of drugs through the checkpoints. You bring trucks of drugs by making a right 20 miles, and a left into the country. …they bring massive amounts of drugs, and they do it because there's no barrier."
Trump said this in an interview with the New York Times last week, and according to Drug Enforcement Administration and Customs and Border Protection data, it's incorrect.
Trump made a similar claim last week when he announced a potentially temporary end to the government shutdown. But, according to data from the DEA and the CBP, this is not true. In fact, in the DEA's 2018 National Drug Threat Assessment the agency reported that marijuana was the one drug where the majority coming across the southern border came in the US between ports of entry. "Unlike other illicit drugs," according to the analysis, "the majority of marijuana smuggled into the United States occurs between the ports of entry on both the northern and southern borders." For example, the CBP seized 67,292 pounds of methamphetamine at legal ports of entry and 10,382 pounds by Border Patrol agents in between ports last fiscal year.
"The wall will also be paid for indirectly by the great new trade deal we have made with Mexico."
We can't see how. The President made this claim during his immigration speech last month. Here's what we found:
Trump long ago abandoned his 2016 campaign promise that Mexico would pay to build a wall. Instead, he now makes the case that Mexico will "indirectly" pay for the barrier, thanks to the potential increase in tax revenue generated by his replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement. (See more on these trade agreements below.)
But the new deal hasn't yet been ratified by Congress, where Democrats have expressed opposition. And even if the new United States Mexico Canada Agreement ends up raising tax revenue, there's nothing earmarking that money for a wall. Income and corporate taxes are general revenue that would have to be appropriated by Congress.
Another way trade could bring money into the Treasury is through tariffs — which are paid by American importers when they buy foreign goods. But like the original NAFTA, the new deal aims to keep trade between the three countries largely tariff-free.
"Every day, Customs and Border Patrol agents encounter thousands of illegal immigrants trying to enter our country."
This isn't quite right. The claim also comes from Trump's recent speech on immigration, and it's one he's thrown around before. We took a look:
Available Customs and Border Protection data shows a total of 396,579 people were apprehended by the US Border Patrol for fiscal year 2018 at the southwest border, which would mean an average of 1,087 each day — hardly the "thousands" that Trump purports. The numbers differ each month. The highest number of apprehensions was in September, with a daily average of nearly 1,400.
Apprehensions are still well below historic highs. In the early 2000s, for example, annual apprehensions routinely topped 1 million. After hitting an historic low in 2017 of around 300,000, apprehensions increased in fiscal year 2018 to nearly 400,000.
The President also expressed concern about what he called "a growing humanitarian crisis." There's been an uptick in unaccompanied minors and families approaching the US-Mexico border, many of whom are seeking asylum. Deteriorating conditions in the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras) are among the reasons that some have decided to make the journey.
In 2016, nearly half of the people apprehended at the US-Mexico border came from these three countries, compared with roughly 10% in 2010, according to Homeland Security Department data.
"Our backlog in the immigration courts is now far greater than the 800,000 cases that you've been hearing back over the last couple of years."
Trump made this claim during his speech on immigration during the government shutdown last month, and — as we found at the time — it's true:
The nation's immigration courts have been faced with a massive backlog. The number of pending cases stands at 809,041, according to Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, which tracks immigration court data.
The government shutdown made that worse, as only courts that handle detained dockets (the cases of people who are in immigration detention) were allowed to proceed. A report released by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse last month found that an estimated 42,726 immigration court hearings had been canceled as a result of the shutdown. It's unclear when they'll be rescheduled.
Terrorists and the southern border
In our fact check on Trump's border wall, we examined claims from the administration around terrorists and the border. Here's what we found:
For months, Trump has raised the specter of "terrorists" crossing the US-Mexico border. He brought this up repeatedly before the 2018 midterms when a caravan of migrants, primarily from impoverished Central American countries, marched through Mexico toward the US border.
These claims were debunked at the time as exaggerations and speculation. Though they've made a comeback this year. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was fact-checked live on Fox News when she said "nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is at our southern border."
DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielsen tried to massage the narrative with a series of tweets: "The number of terror-watchlisted encountered at our Southern Border has increased over the last two years. The exact number is sensitive and details about these cases are extremely sensitive."
Recent reporting revealed that the actual number encountered on the southern border is nowhere near the staggering 4,000 figure. An administration official told CNN that only about a dozen non-citizens on the terrorist watch list who were stopped at the US-Mexico border in fiscal year 2018. That is a tiny fraction of all known or suspected terrorists who tried to enter or travel to the US in that timeframe.
Additionally, a State Department report from 2016 said there was "no credible information that any member of a terrorist group has traveled through Mexico" to sneak into the United States.
"I cannot think of a single example of a terrorism case where somebody came over the southern border to infiltrate the United States," said Peter Bergen, a CNN national security analyst who has tracked hundreds of terrorism cases. "It's sort of a non-problem."
Bergen noted that the most notorious case of a terrorist apprehended at the US border is the "millennium plot," when an Algerian citizen with ties to al-Qaeda was arrested at the US-Canada border in December 1999. He hoped to blow up Los Angeles International Airport.
Trump continues to cite the strong US economy (particularly robust job numbers) as evidence of his success in the White House. He's paid particular attention to the impact the economy has had for minorities, continuing to note that unemployment numbers for Hispanics, Asian-Americans, and African-Americans are at record lows, as he did last fall:
"Hispanic American, African-American and Asian-American unemployment all recently achieved their lowest rates ever recorded in the history of our country."
This is essentially true, but the numbers have ticked up in recent months. CNN fact checked this claim last year, noting up front that it's not really possible to determine whether these rates are the lowest in history because the available data simply doesn't go back that far. That said, Trump is essentially right on all three counts, since all three measures are the lowest since they started being recorded. The Hispanic unemployment rate reached its lowest point on record in July, at 4.5% and has since increased to 4.9%. The rate for African-Americans reached its lowest point on record in May, at 5.9%, and now stands at 6.8%. The rate for Asians also reached its lowest point in May, at 2.0%, and has since increased to 3.1%.
Most Americans working, ever
Trump likes to claim that more people are working now than at any point in the history of the United States.
As we noted in our 48-Hour Fact Check from October of last year, this is essentially true, though it's been true for a while now. Employment has been growing steadily since the bottom of the recession in 2010, and it now stands over 150 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's well above the pre-recession peak of 138.4 million from January 2008, which was regained in May 2014, when the number of working Americans hit 138.6 million, according to payroll data. As a share of the total population, however, employment remains a touch below its all-time high in 2000.
The President has spent a lot of time touting the resurgence of manufacturing jobs, as he did during an interview with the New York Times last week:
"We've created over 500,000 manufacturing jobs, and the previous administration lost 200,000 over eight years."
This is true, but it needs context. By the time former President Barack Obama left office, there were some 190,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than existed at the start of his administration. But that doesn't tell the whole story. The US was in a deep recession when Obama entered the White House in January 2009, and the manufacturing sector was shedding tens of thousands of jobs a month. But the losses stopped by early 2010. Over the next six-plus years, manufacturing jobs rose by more than 800,000.
Under Trump, the pace of growth is certainly faster. During his first two years in office, the economy has added more than 470,000 manufacturing jobs. (According to Market Watch, the manufacturing job growth from August 2017 to August 2018 was "the best 12-month stretch in 23 years.")
The reason for this result is likely multifaceted. Oil prices dropping, healthy job numbers nationwide, and deregulation are all often cited reasons for the uptick. However, the decline in vehicle sales paired with uncertainty around trade might harm these numbers. Also, while the number of manufacturing jobs continues to increase, the total is still below its pre-recession level.
Steel Boom
Trump has also loves to tout the resurgence of the US steel industry
"New and expanded [steel] plants are happening all over the U.S. We have not only saved this important industry, but created many jobs. Also, billions paid to our treasury. A BIG WIN FOR U.S."
This is a bit misleading. Since Trump took office, some mills have restarted, gone through renovations and been expanded. But it's important to note that the vast majority of this work was planned years before Trump took office, according to industry analysts.
Last year about 11,000 jobs were added to the steel industry, but the total number is still lower than it was four years ago. It's unclear, too, how many jobs will continue to be added, given the efficiency of automation and the continued progress of current tech.
Since his last State of the Union address, Trump has enacted billions of dollars in tariffs and also renegotiated the NAFTA trade deal. He is likely to touch on both tonight.
When Trump talks about tariffs, he often talks about the amount of money that is now pouring into the US Treasury. He tends to give the impression that money is being paid by foreign companies. But that's not really what's happening. Instead, most of those tariffs are being paid by US companies that import those foreign goods. The real question is who bears the cost. Often, US companies will pass it onto the consumer by raising prices, while other times a company will reduce compensation or employment internally to offset these higher costs. In some instances, the Chinese supplier might take on the burden of the tariff by reducing its prices in order to maintain its price advantage in the US.
Trump is trying to realign trade so that US products become more competitive with their cheaper Chinese alternatives. That will likely require a long-term adjustment of the US industrial base. In the short term, US consumers and companies will most likely end up bearing the cost of the tariffs. The Tax Foundation said last year it expects the tariffs to lower GDP and wages, and cost American jobs, hitting lower- and middle-income households the hardest.
New NAFTA
Trump touts his trade deal with Canada and Mexico as a big win, but the new agreement isn't drastically different from the existing North America Free Trade Agreement. NAFTA already eliminated most tariffs on goods traded between the three countries.
While many parts of the original deal would remain intact, the new deal — known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement or USMCA — does include a brand-new chapter on digital trade. It also would create restrictions on auto manufacturing, requiring more of a vehicle's parts to be made in North America and by workers earning at least $16 an hour in order to remain tariff-free. The deal also opens up Canada's dairy market to US farmers.
The USMCA needs approval from both chambers of Congress before it can go into effect. Its passage is no sure thing, as Republicans and Democrats have expressed concerns.
Trump's isolationist agenda has been fast-tracked in recent months, particularly as he has promised to withdraw troops from Syria.
"We have won against ISIS."
Trump made this claim in a video on Twitter posted in December. But a recent report from the Pentagon's Inspector General and the Worldwide Threat Assessment released last week paint a different story.
"While U.S.-backed Syrian forces have continued the fight to retake the remaining ISIS strongholds in Syria," the Inspector General's report states, "ISIS remains a potent force of battle-hardened and well-disciplined fighters that 'could likely resurge in Syria' absent continued counterterrorism pressure."
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats noted to members of the Senate Intelligence Committee that ISIS "has returned to its guerrilla warfare roots while continuing to plot attacks and direct its supporters worldwide."
The Inspector General's report also says "ISIS is regenerating key functions and capabilities more quickly in Iraq than in Syria, but absent sustained [counterterrorism] pressure, ISIS could likely resurge in Syria within six to twelve months."
Victories against ISIS should not be understated, but suggesting that they have been defeated is not accurate.
As he prepares for a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Trump continues to praise the Communist dictator and the progress the two have made toward nuclear disarmament. After the first summit in June 2018, Trump tweeted "there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea." His intelligence chiefs disagree.
Last week, US intelligence agencies warned that North Korea "is unlikely to give up all of its WMD stockpiles, delivery systems, and production capabilities."
When Trump announced in May 2018 that the US would be pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, he cited the potential for Iran to build nuclear weapons as one of the primary reasons.
The US intelligence community believes Iran is continuing to comply with the deal and is not currently working on creating a nuclear device. The report notes that Iranian officials have threatened to abandon parts of the deal if they don't start seeing financial benefits.
The topic of healthcare has taken a back seat recently, but Trump is likely to touch on a few key issues tonight.
The President often claims credit for lowering drug prices — one of his key campaign promises.
It's true that his administration has focused on the issue. Since unveiling a 44-page blueprint last May, the Department of Health & Human Services has rolled out several proposals aimed at lowering drug costs. But overall, it hasn't moved the needle much. Experts say most of the efforts would have marginal impacts.
However, the agency has floated two more significant ideas: The first would ban drug makers from providing rebates to pharmacy benefit managers and insurers, while the second would set Medicare's reimbursement level for certain pricey drugs based on their cost in other countries, which is typically far lower.
Trump continues to lambast drug makers on Twitter for raising their prices, most recently at the start of the year.
Sixty drug makers kicked off 2019 by raising list prices on nearly 300 medications, according to an analysis by Rx Savings Solutions. And more drug manufacturers are expected to quietly follow suit in coming weeks. Companies do appear to be tempering their hikes. The average increase was 6.3%, down from nearly 9% a year ago, taking into account different dosages of the same drug.
One thing that the Trump administration has accomplished is approving a record number of generic drugs, which typically have lower prices.
Sources familiar with the speech confirmed to CNN that early drafts included Trump calling for an end to HIV outbreak in the US by 2030.
Previously, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS set a goal to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. In its report, the UN estimated that "new HIV infections have been reduced by 47% since the peak in 1996" worldwide.
Organizations and programs focused on HIV/AIDS prevention cite financial constraint as one of the primary roadblocks — along with education and a reduction of the current stigma — on the way significantly reduce the number of outbreaks. It's unclear what plan the administration might have to reach this potential 2030 goal.
During our 48-hour Fact Check of the President last year, we examined several claims Trump made around opioids in the US.
"The total amount of opioids being prescribed has decreased by nearly 20% in a very short period of time. Very proud of that."
Reputable studies back this up, but it didn't happen under Trump's watch. A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that there was an 18% drop between 2010 and 2015. And according to the American Medical Association there was a 22% drop between 2013 and 2017. These trends largely predate the Trump administration and much of the drop has been attributed to changes in prescribing regulations and guidelines.
"Over the past 20 months, our Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Services fraud strike force targeted a combined $3.3 billion in waste, fraud and abuse related to the unlawful distribution of opioids. That's by far the most ever."
In the past two years, the Department of Health and Human Services uncovered $3.3 billion in Medicare and Medicaid fraud but it wasn't all related to opioids. Some of the fraud related to illegal kickbacks and false bills for unnecessary medical procedures. That said, HHS did blacklist nearly 900 doctors and nurses "based on conduct related to opioid diversion and abuse," meaning they can't participate in federally funded health care programs.
"We have secured $6 billion in new funding to combat opioids, the most money ever received in history."
He's right. Congress allotted a record $6 billion over two years to combat the opioid epidemic. Previously, the 21st Century Cures Act, which Obama signed in December 2016, directed $1 billion over two years to states to fight the nationwide opioid epidemic.
