Highlights: China s strategic objectives: [W]hile I don t think that Beijing seeks to install the clone of the Chinese Communist Party in every country around the world, it doesn t want a system that confines or undermines Beijing s ability to achieve what it wants to do. So it s much more for them about themselves and that the rest of the world needs to get out of the way as opposed to making the rest of the world look like them. Beijing s ideological drive: It s really convenient for us to want to think that the communism of the Communist Party, the Soviet Union, has been relegated to the dustbin of history and that are our friends in Beijing have learned that that s not the way to go.

Washington mdash; The Justice Department filed a federal lawsuit Thursday accusing Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation of illegally monopolizing the live entertainment industry to the detriment of concertgoers and artists alike.In a 128-page civil suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, federal officials allege that Live Nation has illegally thwarted competition and unduly burdened consumers in part through its ownership of Ticketmaster, which effectively gives it control over much of the market for live entertainment.Justice Department officials said Thursday they are seeking structural changes to how the company does business, which could include breaking apart the two entities.

NEW YORK ndash; John McCain hung his final presidential debate performance on an Ohio plumber who campaign aides never vetted. A day after making Joseph Wurzelbacher famous, referencing him in the debate stanley cup almost two dozen times as someone who w stanley cup ould pay higher taxes under Barack Obama, McCain learned the fine print Thursday on the plumberrsquo not-so-tidy personal story: He owes back taxes. He is not a licensed plumber. And it turns out that Wurzelbacher makes less than $250,000 a year, which means he would receive a tax cut if Obama were elected president.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that affirmative action in higher educationis unconstitutional, arguing that the race-conscious admission policies of Harvard College and the University of North Carolina violate the Constitution. Both programs lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping, and lack meaningful end points, Chief Justice John Roberts said in the majority opinion. We have never permitted admissions programs to work in that way, and we will not do so today. In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote that the majority opinion contradicts the vision of equality embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment. The court cements a superficial rule of colorblindness as a constitutional principle in an endemically segregated society where race has a stanley tumbler lways mattered and continues to matter, Sotomayor said.In response to the court s decision, Harvard said in a statement that it will comply with the new ruling, but stanley cup that it will need to stanley cup navigate how to preserve and uphold its essential values.

According to figures from the University of Florida, over 67 million mail ballots have been requested and over 34.4 million have been returned as of Sunday morning, Nov. 3While voting by mail has become more common since the pandemic, a few recent mishaps have shaken some voters faith in the system.

And, in 2000, then-Texas governor George Bush won a very nasty battle in South Carolina after John McCain hammered him in New Hampshire.The state is positioned to play an important role in the GOP nomination once again this year, but it may be more a catalyst than firewall heading into contests in Florida and Super Duper Tuesday.
