Scott interviews David Henderson about the threat to the U.S. posed by China's growing stature as an economic powerhouse. In general, Henderson thinks that such concerns are overblown, citing the real economic figures behind the trade relationship. In particular, he explains the way that losses from outsourcing tend to be concentrated to a few employees in a specific industry, whereas the (much larger) gains to are spread out over a whole population of consumers.

9/4/20 Trevor Timm on the Vindication of Edward Snowden
Trevor Timm discusses an important new ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which says that the NSA's mass data-gathering program, famously exposed by Edward Snowden, was illegal all along. It also came out during the court proceedings that not a single act of terrorism was ever prevented by the program.

Rest In Peace Kevin Zeese
The great peace activist and writer Kevin Zeese died this morning. He apparently had a heart attack last night. This is a terrible loss for our movement.

Kevin was a good man. https://twitter.com/medeabenjamin/status/1302611748613238784 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei4rdIFLfgA

IDF Prison Guard Jeffrey Goldberg, Who Lied About Iraq-AQ Ties in 2002, Says Trump Isn’t Patriotic Enough
I hate Donald Trump so much I'd like to shoot him out of a howitzer. But the liberals. They're worse. I am honestly even considering voting GOP in the fall just to say f- you to them. They can take their Russiagate hoax and their Commissar Goldberg smears and shove 'em.
Cop Kills Man
For holding a pen. Then -- you'll be surprised -- the government all came together to conspire to protect the guilty murderer. They even went and got knives from the kid's kitchen to try to get witnesses to say they saw one. You know, attempting to suborn perjury, a crime; to bear false witness against the slain, a deadly sin. Your security force.
