** [link removed] CHAMPION MESSAGE ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

"Charities are not bound up in red tape and bureaucracy like government agencies, although they can become bureaucratic. That is part of the attractiveness of giving locally to smaller organizations."

- Patrice Onwuka, IWF senior policy analyst ([link removed])

** Media Amnesia: There's Already An All-Female White House Senior Press Team ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. That’s what the media is apparently attempting with its latest claim about presumed President-elect Joe Biden bravely shattering a glass ceilingby nominating the "first" all-female White House senior press team ([link removed]) . Beyond the fact that an all-female White House senior press team is hardly “diverse,” Americans don’t have to leave their living rooms to see why this claim is false. Every top communication official representing President Trump and the White House on their TVs is a woman. Despite receiving hardly any acknowledgement, the Trump Administration already accomplished that “first” for women.

** Early Gift for Workers: Big Holiday Shopping Season Is Expected ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The gloominess of the coronavirus pandemic may not dampen the holiday shopping season and that’s good news for unemployed workers.
Amidst a new wave of government-imposed restrictions over the next few weeks, consumers are not expected to allow the grinch of coronavirus to steal their holiday cheer. The National Retail Federation (NRF) just released its annual holiday sales forecast ([link removed]) .

** Who Benefits the Most From College Debt Forgiveness? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Biden is eyeing some form of cancellation of student loans. There are numerous ways student loans could be forgiven ([link removed]) . It's true that college loans are holding a lot of people back and no doubt preventing them from taking advantage of low-paying jobs that provide valuable experience. But are students more deserving of debt relief than, say, struggling parents paying off an automobile loan?

** Is the PRO Act Good for Women and Workers? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris claim to stand for women and American workers. As part of that effort, they advocate for Protecting the Right to Organize Act (the PRO Act), which would do to the entire country what the infamous AB5 law did in California. However, is this law actually good for women and American workers?
[link removed]
If the PRO Act became law, it would undoubtedly leave millions of the nation’s 57 million freelancers unemployed, perhaps indefinitely.

** Should Pharmacies Be Held Liable for the Opioid Epidemic? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
For years, politicians looking for good publicity and an easy source of funding have used novel legal theories to go after the makers of FDA-approved prescription opioids. Recently, the Trump administration has threatened to sue Walmart, which operates more than 5,000 in-store pharmacies, for filling legal opioid prescriptions written by doctors licensed in their states. Pharmacies, of course, neither make opioids nor sell them on their own initiative. Who, if anyone, should be held legally responsible for the opioid crisis?

** Dr. Fauci’s Strange Linkage Between Opening Schools and Closing Bars ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Anthony Fauci has a new rallying cry—open the schools, but close the bars and restaurants. If the data indicates that the spread of COVID-19 among children is not very big, how will their going to school significantly affect bars and restaurants? Is Dr. Fauci simply advocating for another shutdown of bars and restaurants, regardless of school openings? We should not make bars and restaurants the fall guys for school re-openings.
