Dear eMBers, Your Morning Bullets are here. Let’s dig in. INVESTOR INSIGHTS – Market Update The DJIA passed the 29,000 mark in intraday trading yesterday. In fact, all three major indexes set new intraday highs. But it didn't stick. By the end of the trading day, the index was down 133.13 points, or 0.5%. It closed at 28,823.77. The S&P shaved 9.35 points to close down 0.3% at 3,265.35. The Nasdaq was down 24.57 points, 0.3%, and closed at 9,178.86. So, what slowed their roll? The US Labor Department reported the economy added 145,000. That missed their projections of 165,000. But it was still the ninth straight year of job gains.

YOUR SILICON VALLEY (LIBERAL) OVERLORDS Still not sure that Silicon Valley is full of Liberal Overlords? Well, this story should remove any doubts... Mind the Gap, a secretive group that's reshaping big-money politics in Silicon Valley, is planning to spend $140 million in 2020. Their goal? To defeat Trump at all costs. If they meet that funding goal, they'd be one of the most powerful forces in Democratic politics. And two things are clear: First, they want Trump gone.

Guns have now been formally banned in the Virginia Capitol. It's the new Democratic majority's first action on firearms. And indicates they are digging in for a lot more fights. Mind you - Virginia lawmakers have often packed heat on the floor. And you'd better believe that Republicans are objecting to the new law - loudly. And it's just the first of many. [Image]( Image Source: Wall Street Journal The legislature is expected to pass more far-reaching gun restrictions before their 60-day session wraps up. And it only began on Wednesday. Previously, only visitors were barred from bringing guns into the building. Now it will also apply to senators and delegates. Shockingly - even law enforcement officers. But lawmakers will likely find a way around it. And even if they're busted, they're immune from prosecution during the session. Governor Ralph Northam (D) is praising the policy change. But what about the people? There is an enormous gun rights rally on the calendar for January 20. It could draw tens of thousands of protesters, many of which will be heavily armed. Find out which lawmakers have no intention of quitting carrying in the Capitol. [Read more here](. Do you agree with this move in Virginia?

That's why he views the way things are playing out with Iran as a clear win for Trump. This wasn't a way to escalate a war. It may have been the only way to open the path to renegotiating and replacing Obama's dreadful nuke deal. He went as far as to call Iran's "retaliation" as "wildly de-escalatory." "That doesn't mean that Iran is no longer a major antagonist of the United States in the region or that we've ended our fights... No one should be taking victory laps here. But this is a win for Trump. And it's clear that it is." Find out what the new deal might look like. [Read more here](. CRAZY-INTERESTING OR RIDICULOUSLY-WEIRD Yesterday marked Day 1 of the 2020 Python Bowl. And it's not a football game.
