PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jerry Brown is Positive . California Gov. Jerry Brown (D)  delivers  his  final State of the State address in Sacramento on Jan. 25. Democrats who want to replace  him  are aiming even further left in a state already known for its liberal politics. (Pool/Reuters)
Here in the self-labeled âstate of resistance â the political debate is being pushed further left without any sign of a Republican renaissance to serve as a check on spending and social policy ambitions. Even some Republicans are concerned about the departure of Gov. Jerry Brown (D)  who proved to be fiscally cautious after inheriting a state seven years ago in deep recession.
âYou are going to be talking about Democrat-on-Democrat crime  for the most part â said Bill Whalen  a research fellow at Stanford Universityâs Hoover Institution. âWhat also is certain is that the next governor is going to be more progressive than Jerry Brown.â
In his final State of the State address on Jan. 25   Brown  said California is âprospering â a nod to a growing economy that is the sixth-largest in the world.
But in an interview after the speech   Brown  said that âdoes not mean all Californians are prospering â and  he  made a distinction between the coastal âconsulting classâ and rural laborers whose âculture of working with their handsâ is disappearing.
âThe state is more divided â  Brown  said. âAnd itâs divided this way right across the country.â
 Brown  said  he  is uncertain whether  he  will endorse in the race to succeed  him   even though Newsom also is a Bay Area Democrat who  on climate change in particular  supports the governorâs policies. Some of  Brown âs transportation initiatives  including a high-speed rail project from Los Angeles to San Francisco that is bursting its budget  remain in question.
âI donât think the people of Tulare County or Modoc County want to hear from  Jerry Brown  on who to vote for. Maybe the people in Oakland would  I donât know â  Brown  said. âIâll decide what to do based on 45 years of campaigning in this state.â

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Anthony Scaramucci is Neutral . (CNN)  Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci  suggested that John Kelly is handling the fallout from the Rob Porter scandal poorly by trying to "cover it up."
"The cover-up is always worse than the crime "  Scaramucci  told David Axelrod in an upcoming segment of "The Axe Files " a podcast from the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN.
"I would say  'Jeez  you know  I knew about it. I was going to give the guy a pass because he told me it wasn't true and I apologize to the American people for that. He's been let go and I'd still like to keep my job "'  Scaramucci  explained. "That's what I would do if I was General Kelly. "
Scaramucci  said if  he  were the White House chief of staff   he  wouldn't say  he  "didn't know about it when ( he ) knew about it or try to cover it."
"We're in a society now where everyone's going to find out everything anyway "  he  noted.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Melania Trump is Neutral . President Donald Trump lashed out with fresh anger about the intensifying Russia probe over the weekend  accusing Democrats of enabling a foreign adversary to interfere in the 2016 election and attacking the FBI as well as  his  own national security adviser.
In a defiant and error-laden tweetstorm that was remarkable even by  his  own combative standards   Trump  stewed aloud about the latest indictments brought by special counsel Robert Mueller against Russians for their elaborate campaign to denigrate the Democratic presidential nominee  Hillary Clinton  and push voters toward  Trump .
 The president  seized on Mueller's evidence of the expansive scope of the Russian influence efforts to claim that the indictments exonerated  him  and proved there was "no collusion." But the special counsel's investigation of possible complicity between Russia and the  Trump  campaign is continuing  as is the examination of whether  Trump  has sought to obstruct justice.
In a string of 10 Twitter messages — which began after 11 p.m. Saturday and ended around noon Sunday  and which included profanity and misspellings —  Trump  opened a window into  his  state of mind  even as  Trump 's representatives at a global security conference in Germany advised jittery allies to generally ignore the president's tweets.
 Trump 's latest attacks built on remarks last week in which  he  misrepresented the evidence revealed by Mueller.  He  tweeted falsely  "I never said Russia did not meddle in the election."  He  blamed President Barack Obama's administration for doing "nothing" to stop the intrusion.  Trump  rebuked national security adviser H.R. McMaster for publicly saying the evidence of Russian interference was "incontrovertible."
And  he  held the FBI responsible for last week's devastating shooting at a Parkland  Fla.  high school that left 17 dead.  Trump  tweeted that the bureau was committing so many resources to the Russia probe that it missed "all of the many signals" about the shooter.
One topic  Trump  avoided in  his  missives was punishment of Russia.  The president  did not spell out how  his  administration might seek to retaliate against the Russians or how it may try to protect the U.S. electoral system from continued attacks  which the nation's intelligence chiefs warned last week should be expected.
In fact   Trump  blamed the various domestic investigations into Russia's intrusions — as opposed to the interference itself — for sowing discord in America.
 The president  tweeted Sunday  "If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord  disruption and chaos within the U.S. then  with all of the Committee Hearings  Investigations and Party hatred  they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!"
 Trump  sent the messages from  his  Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach  Fla.  where  he  was ensconced for two days.  He  spent much of the time watching cable news  venting to friends about the Russia investigation and complaining that it has been driving so much press coverage  according to people who have spoken to  him .  The president  also surveyed Mar-a-Lago Club members about whether  he  ought to champion gun control measures in the wake of last week's school massacre in nearby Parkland  telling them that  he  was closely monitoring the media appearances by some of the surviving students  according to people who spoke with  him  there.
The White House is under siege for its handling of domestic abuse allegations against former staff secretary Rob Porter  which in turn has drawn unwelcome attention to its security clearance process and the tenuous status of senior adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner. Two of  Trump 's Cabinet secretaries — David Shulkin at the Department of Veterans Affairs and Scott Pruitt at the Environmental Protection Agency — are under scrutiny over taxpayer reimbursement for their luxury travel.
Meanwhile  salacious new accounts of  Trump 's alleged extramarital affairs have created headlines. The New Yorker on Friday detailed a former Playboy centerfold's claim of a relationship with  Trump  and reported that the publisher of the National Enquirer had paid the model $150 000 to buy the rights to her story. Also last week   Trump 's longtime personal lawyer  Michael Cohen  said that shortly before the 2016 election he had used his personal funds to "facilitate" a $130 000 payment to a porn star who goes by the name Stormy Daniels and had alleged a sexual relationship with  Trump .
Rick Wilson  a Republican strategist based in Florida and a  Trump  critic  said the president's tweets read to him like "a cry for help."
After visiting victims of the Parkland shooting and first responders at an area hospital on Friday evening   Trump  did not leave Mar-a-Lago until Sunday evening  skipping  his  usual rounds of golf at  his  nearby course in what aides described as a decision to show respect for the 17 people killed in the school massacre.
Instead   Trump  spent  his  time watching television  talking with friends and tweeting  aides said  breaking up that routine Sunday for a meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan  R-Wis. On Saturday night   Trump  dined with talk show host Geraldo Rivera and the president's two adult sons  Donald Jr. and Eric.  First lady Melania Trump  also in Florida for the weekend   did not join  her  husband in the dining room  according to two attendees.
The first blamed the FBI for the shooting.  He  wrote after 11 p.m. Saturday  "Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the  Trump  campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!"
