News Story of the Day: One of the remaining tech titans to not go public is Uber. But that is all about to change, reports Reuters.
Citing sources close to the situation, the ride-hailing app is planning to file an initial public offering (IPO) next month. It could seek a valuation as high a $120 billion, even though it was recently valued at $70 billion.
This would come only days after Lyft is scheduled to file its own IPO.
Chart of the Day: Stock buybacks are hated by leftists, but this shows a grave misunderstanding of what they are (SEE: Are corporate buybacks as evil as the Democrats think they are?). That said, here is a chart that shows stock buybacks over the last 30-plus years:
Illustration of the Day: Did you hear? Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-CA) interjected herself into the NFL debate. She had this to say:
Quote of the Day: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) sat down with Stephen Colbert – and it was a disaster. Not so much for Gabbard, but for the alleged comedian. Tom Woods said it best:
She opposes the U.S. empire and has made this opposition a primary rallying cry of her campaign. This is not allowed
No longer does the left exist to question authority, if indeed it ever did. It exists to defend orthodoxies and expel dissidents.
Every mainstream outlet at this point is an echo chamber for the U.S. regime’s talking points. Even — or perhaps especially — so-called comedy.So instead of humor, Gabbard (quite unlike her opponents) was treated to relentless hostility, and the kind of fact-free talking points one might hear from Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Joe Lieberman, or any person drawn at random from the Establishment.
…
This Colbert performance reveals that the situation is worse than even I imagined. Here is how interviews would be conducted in an Orwellian dystopia.
Tweet of the Day: The left is getting scarier as each day passes. Just take a look at these comments from a prominent guest on MSNBC, who wants to take your property in the name of democracy – it sounds like the neocons who want to bomb foreign lands in the name of democracy.

Video of the Day: During the 2016 election, Donald Trump was repeatedly referred to teflon Don. It made sense. No matter what reports came out, no matter what he said, and no matter how many times he flip-flopped, nothing touched him or his campaign. Yet, that hasn’t stopped the media from continually saying his end is nigh. It’s also embarrassing for CNN, MSNBC, and the other left-leaning news networks, not only for its failed predictions for nearly four years, but they are just parroting each other.
