"...Various observations that have been made about the huge divergence in price patterns over the last several decades include:

a. The greater (lower) the degree of government involvement in the provision of a good or service the greater (lower) the price increases (decreases) over time, e.g., hospital and medical costs, college tuition, childcare with both large degrees of government funding/regulation and large price increases vs. software, electronics, toys, cars and clothing with both relatively less government funding/regulation and falling prices..." 

As somebody on Twitter commented:

Blue lines = prices subject to free market forces. Red lines = prices subject to regulatory capture by government. Food and drink is debatable either way. Conclusion: remind me why socialism is so great again.

Klein: Evidence Mounting of Trump Tower Collusion... Against Don Jr. | Breitbart

Klein: Evidence Mounting of Trump Tower Collusion... Against Don Jr. | Breitbart:

Multiple recent Breitbart News investigations into the infamous brief meeting at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016 between individuals tied to Russia, Donald Trump Jr. and other campaign officials point to the increasing likelihood of the confab being set up as a dirty trick against Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Three Russian participants at the meeting have ties to the controversial Fusion GPS outfit, and two have confirmed ties to Hillary Clinton. The Russia collusion conspiracy was sparked by the dossier produced by Fusion GPS, which was paid for its anti-Trump work by Trump’s primary political opponents, namely Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via the Perkins Coie law firm.

Barbershop Workers Quit After California Supreme Court Ruling CBS Sacramento: 
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Some small businesses are scrambling to figure out how to stay afloat after a high court ruling.
A recent California Supreme Court decision is changing the way independent contractors are classified, and it’s already having a big impact on local shops.
May fear it will hurt millions of workers and affect businesses’ bottom lines.
The work doesn’t stop at Downtown Sacramento’s Bottle and Barlow, even if it became a one-man shop.
“I lost my entire staff,” said owner Anthony Gianotti.
He says all seven of his barbers quit after a state supreme court ruling that will change their way of work.
“It doesn’t just affect my business, it affects every independent contractor in the state of California,” said Gianotti.
...“That you cannot classify someone as an independent contractor if they offer the same service that is the primary business of the business.”

THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SHUT UP: Flashback: Obama prosecuted staff leakers, gave lie-detector test…

Instapundit  Blog Archive--THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SHUT UP: 
Flashback: Obama prosecuted staff leakers, gave lie-detector tests, ‘paranoid.’

"Should President Trump need a model to use to track down leakers inside his administration like the “anonymous” insider who challenged his authority in a New York Times op-ed, he need go no further back than the Obama administration that prosecuted leakers and shutout the media.

...Criticism of Obama’s attacks on the media and leakers did not just come in tweets and TV appearances by journalists but in an official report from the Committee to Protect Journalists, authored by former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr.

“This is the most closed, control freak administration I’ve ever covered,” said David E. Sanger, veteran chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times, in the report.

USA Today said of the report, it “portrays an administration gripped by strict policies about information flow and paranoid about leaks across all executive branch departments.”

It detailed prosecutions and even the use of lie-detectors on staffers. Some have encouraged Trump to use lie-detector tests on his staff, something he has so far ignored....

'First Man' a disgrace to patriotic Americans - Washington Times

'First Man' a disgrace to patriotic Americans - Washington Times:

A biographical film about Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk the moon — and an American, mind you — will notably, face-slappingly, leave out the triumphant moment the U.S. flag was planted on lunar soil.
The left and their hatred of historical monuments — they just can’t keep from tearing them down, can they.
This flag-plant wasn’t just an iconic moment in U.S. history. This was a day when the achievements of American greatness were on full display for all the world to see and acknowledge.
And now a movie about this Apollo 11 mission is going to whitewash that patriotic time in the golden sun?
