Nets Barely Cover Obama’s Internet Regulations

Nets Barely Cover Obama’s Internet Regulations.

This should concern you a whole lot more than if your Samsung TV is spying on you (though that is a cause for concern).  This isn’t just about milking taxes and fees out of the public – and make no mistake, it is you that will be paying this, not your ISP.  This is about the government controlling what is out on the internet.

Republican FCC Member Warns Net Neutrality Is Not Neutral – #tcot

Republican FCC Member Warns Net Neutrality Is Not Neutral – Breitbart.

The only spot in which I don’t quite agree with the article is that I think controlling speech is the first priority of the rules, not the tax-rape of country.  The taxes and fees will be the blunt instruments that enable control of the message.

New FCC Regs Hidden From Public | #tcot

Congress looking into White House’s role in FCC’s net neutrality regulations | Fox News.

The Fox News title shouldn’t be the title of the article.  I gave it the correct title.  The real story is that the FCC is hiding the regulations from the public until after they vote on it.

Gov. Scott Walker ‘very interested’ in 2016 presidential run #tcot

Folks, you need to watch this interview.  This is the man I’ve long considered the best candidate conservatives could ask for in the 2016 election.  I just was never certain he’d run until now.

I’ve found it fun to follow the proggy blogs about Walker.  I’ve never seen the level of pure bile poured out as is toward him.  They treated Palin nicer.  That in itself tells me this guy has the ability to win.  The spewing I’ve seen reflects an almost abject fear of the man.

But is that fear justified?  Well, let’s consider… Continue reading

Yep.  So much for free speech in France.

Speech for me; none for thee.

GOP lawmakers face pressure from base to target ObamaCare – or else #tcot

GOP lawmakers face pressure from base to target ObamaCare – or else | Fox News.

The base must keep up the pressure.  Even the lawmakers who are our allies actually need pressure from the base if they are going to do something.  There is immense pressure to stop them and it requires both there willingness and our active participation in the process if we are to succeed.

One amusing part of the article is where the professor quoted is trying float excuses Republicans could use to ignore the public.  It sure didn’t take long before we heard the lame “We can’t do much, after all we don’t have the Presidency,” excuse.

Gee.  We only control both houses of Congress and have a balance, if not a slight edge in the Supreme Court.  Plus a huge lean in governors and state legislatures.  Let’s not forget the number of skittish Democrats who managed to stay in office and don’t want to be drug down by this President.

My advice to Congress?  Pay attention to the election results.  That includes the Primaries.  Congress is intended to be a check and balance to the executive.  That was the specific intent of this last election.  Right now you have the pressure based on support to do what you were elected to do.  Do not let that turn into the pressure of our wrath.

McConnell keeps Senate late; final Keystone vote slated for next week #tcot

McConnell keeps Senate late; final Keystone vote slated for next week | Fox News.

Maybe there is some hope for Mitch after all?  On of the funniest things in this article is that the Democrats are complaining about not having time to read the amendments to the bill.

This???  Coming from the bone-heads that brought us Obama care.  And about amendments that they, themselves, have put forward.  They know very well what’s in those amendments, since they were the source of them.  It sure didn’t take Fox News much effort to tell us what was in them, so they have no excuse.

This is nothing more than an attempt to try and shield Obama from being in the position of having to decide if he has the cahones to stand entirely on his own and veto it.

Police are using new radar that can track you inside your home

The end of privacy?

Police are using new radar that can track you inside your home | Fox News.

Well this has all kinds of 4th Amendment issues.  That God the judge said it requires a warrant to deploy this technology.  But how is this privacy issue any different than snooping on a phone or email?
