Including pronouns in email signatures and on business cards is now an option as part of a 2019 team member policy update. Team members in the U.S. can voluntarily choose to indicate how they should be addressed, with a reference such as “Pronouns: They/Them/Theirs,” “She/Her/Hers,” or “He/Him/His” within their internal- and external-facing communications. Wells Fargo joins companies like Accenture and IBM in updating company policies with more inclusive language in mind. The company’s Equal Employment Opportunity and anti-harassment policies include gender identity and expression language as well. “Everything about our Team Member Handbook, and similar policies, is meant to support...

This fall, Congress’ top legislative priority is tax reform. President Trump, along with the “Big Six” (Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, National Economic Director Gary Cohn, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady) recently released a new framework that lays the groundwork for tax reform. Most notably for CVS Health, the framework would lower the corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent. This would help CVS Health create new jobs and invest in new technologies to improve care outcomes and access....

Some GOP, conservatives, and liberty lovers this election season have convinced themselves that they can simply opt out by throwing their vote to some 3rd party or writing in their preferred primary candidate who lost to salve their wounded egos. They say that they don't like Clinton or Trump and that even if Clinton is corrupt that Trump is more dangerous because he soils the virginity of conservatism or some such fanciful thing as if we have not supported many candidates that were far from conservative purists. I've personally supported every Republican candidate for President since I was voting age save one...

Is the air going out of Hillary Clinton’s post-convention bounce? The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online White House Watch survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows the Democratic nominee with 43% support to Donald Trump’s 40%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson picks up eight percent (8%) of the vote, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein trails with two percent (2%). Four percent (4%) like some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Last week, the first weekly survey following the Democratic national convention, found Clinton with 44%, Trump at 40%, Johnson at...

Fresh off of Trump’s West Virginia primary victory, bitter CNN “Pundit” S.E. Cupp went off the rails. The political commentator ranted as she was apparently offended that “Trump is saying he doesn’t need us” and calling Trump Supporters “Fringy Alt-Right…. Racist and Bigoted”

Now that the political Revolution that is Trump has manifested itself in the reality of the vote in both South Carolina and Nevada the agents of the political status quo are out in force. They are all busy constructing straw Trumps to knock down. They are recycling old stories that have already failed to defeat Trump. They are adamantly asserting their purity to a conservatism that somehow allowed them to vote for Dole, McCain, and Romney (the proud grandfather of Obamacare).

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A second city on Tuesday withdrew its invitation for Rhode Island's "Dancing Cop" to direct holiday traffic because of his activism against the Black Lives Matter movement. The retired officer responded by blasting the head of the Providence NAACP and threatening to sue his detractors for defamation. East Providence Mayor Thomas Rose called Tony Lepore on Tuesday morning to tell him city leaders did not support his planned performance, Lepore said. A City Council vote that had been scheduled for Tuesday evening was canceled. Lepore, who retired from the Providence Police Department in 1989, has been directing...

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV)-- On Thursday night, former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore said he is "considering" a run for president. Gilmore made the announcement during the JMU College Republicans Banquet. "I'm considering it (running for president). The question is, 'Is it possible?'," Gilmore said in his speech. Video of the speech can be found on the right side of this article. "Jeb Bush has a great name and a lot of money," he explained, when talking about the challenges of running in the 2016 race. "I guess we've arrived at a point in American history and the American republic when you...

After numerous negative stories portraying Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu's wife Sara as a wicked witch, the Jerusalem Post has published a flattering interview conducted by bestselling novelist Naomi Ragen portraying her as a loving mother and professional woman despite all recent reports. The interview took place moments after the State Comptroller report was released and was conducted in the Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem. While waiting for Netanyahu, Ragen compared the furniture in Netanyahu's home to her neighbor's, writing that her neighbor's "furnishings are nicer, certainly newer." Sara Netanyahu has been frequently portrayed as a vindictive Imelda Marcus/Marie Antoinette, targeted...

Senior members of the Likud party – including, some say, even the most senior of them – are keeping their fingers crossed for President Barack Obama. They hope that he won’t fall ill, that he won’t fly off to some distant continent, that a cat won’t get his tongue, and that he won’t become suddenly faint-hearted about the escalating confrontation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As in the well-known joke about the sadist and the masochist, the Likudniks are eager to continue being pummeled by Obama directly or by his secretary of state or by his national security adviser. They’ve...

Former Arizona county sheriff Richard Mack, a fierce opponent of Obamacare and a leader in the "constitutional sheriff" movement, is struggling to pay his medical bills after he and his wife each faced serious illnesses. The former sheriff and his wife do not have health insurance and started a GoFundMe campaign to solicit donations from family and friends to cover the costs of their medical care. "Because they are self-employed, they have no medical insurance and are in desperate need of our assistance," reads a note on Mack's personal website. Mack, the founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers...

Long Island's Rep. Peter King said Friday he had run out of patience with the House Republicans who are bent on defunding the Homeland Security Department to protest President Barack Obama's immigration executive orders. "It's wrong politically because we'll be blamed for shutting down the department," said King (R-Seaford). "It's wrong morally because we are putting American lives at risk to satisfy a political imperative." That cliff -- the expiration of funds for DHS as of midnight Friday night -- was avoided with Congress' late action. But it was just hours away when 52 conservative Republicans and 172 Democrats voted...

There's a lot of blurring that happens with the Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly jobs report, the splashy release that drives headlines about the unemployment rate and (recently at least) the gains in the job market. One example is that the figures are seasonally adjusted, to offer a comprehensible baseline month-over-month instead of always having to explain that employment always spikes in June and at the end of the year. It's blurry in a more important way, too. Reporting that unemployment in January was at 5.7 percent (a tick upward from December's figure) tells us a lot about the economy....

... The book’s title is Mr. Harari’s reminder that, long ago, the world held half a dozen species of human, of which only Homo sapiens—thee and me—today survives. The trajectory of our species, Mr. Harari says, can be traced as a succession of three revolutions: the cognitive revolution (when we got smart), the agricultural revolution (when we got nature to do what we wanted), and the scientific revolution (when we got dangerously powerful). Humanity, Mr. Harari predicts, will see one more epochal event. We will vanish within a few centuries, either because we’ve gained such godlike powers as to become...
