Basically, it will be a felony for any Congressional candidate (for example) to accept campaign contributions money from outside his or her Congressional district. Similarly Senatorial candidates may not accept money from outside their state. And, possibly most important, Presidential candidates may not accept money from outside the United States.

Food freedom flourishes in states where government regulators simply get out of the way. The proof is in the pudding – the and cakes and the bread and the raw milk.
According to a recent Forbes article, hundreds of local business have sprouted up across three states that have passed food freedom laws in recent years without a single report of foodborne illness.
Food freedom laws exempt small food producing businesses from onerous regulations and licensing requirements. These businesses can sell directly to the consumer from a home, farm or ranch, as well as at farmers’ markets and roadside stands.
Wyoming enacted the first such law in 2015. The expansive law even allows poultry farmers with fewer than 1,000 birds to sell chicken and turkey, along with products made from their birds. It also authorizes the sale of raw milk, rabbit meat and most farm-raised fish.

Anyone else find that they can “predict” the future, but are powerless to change it.
I call it the “Delphic Oracle” problem.
*** begin quote ***
The Delphic Oracle was the most influential religious site in the ancient Greek world. Speaking from a tripod in a crypt under the temple of Apollo at Delphi, the priestess called the Pythia acted as a medium for the god, and spoke the divine prophecies while in a state of trance or possession.
*** end quote ***
When people ask the Oracle a question, they got a cryptic answer and the heard what the wanted.
Sometimes when people pose a “problem” to me, I give them my best answer. And then they go off and do what they want.
Often, I can foresee the consequences of choices — no great skill to “foresee” a disaster from an “obviously” bad choice — but it’s frustrating that you can’t prevent the disaster.
Argh!
Maybe the solution is to just stop “advising” or “predicting” and just say “no opinion” or some other weasel words or platitudes.

Right to Choose Communications Services Provider” ordinance (also known as Article 52) that hinders a payola scheme cooked up between big cable companies like Comcast and landlords. In just a few short years since its enactment, a great number of apartments in San Francisco have at least four options for broadband service, including affordable gigabit fiber service. Fearing that other cities would follow suit, a whole range of associations and corporations that represent landlords and the cable industry pushed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) hard to block these local efforts. For a federal agency tasked with promoting competition, it shouldn’t be a close call to simply ignore these groups. But that is not what the FCC plans to do next month.

Walker made these statements just days after the 2016 election, in a confidential video recording that was leaked to Breitbart News.

Did she forget who created what she’s calling “concentration camps”?
Yup, BHO44.
Did she forget who started separating “children” from their “families”?
Yup, BHO44. In his defense, it appears that these are not “families” but children are rented to provide cover for the invasion.
Did she forget who started dumping muslim “refugees” in Wisconsin?
Yup, BHO44. And, now they are voting just like the D’s wanted all along.
These “refugees” are taking over the USA and it’s not going to be pretty or good for the USA.
And, with respect to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez AKA AOC, the word “insipience” comes to mind. (It was used on me when I was in Manhattan Prep.

Manhattan Community Access Corp. v. Halleck
The court held that Manhattan Community Access Corp., the private nonprofit corporation runs public access television channels in Manhattan, is not a “state actor” and is therefore not subject to the First Amendment. Libertarians will agree that the private property rights of the corporation overrule any standards mandated by the government.

The power of the sword, say the minority …, is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for The powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every terrible implement of the soldier are the birthright of Americans. —Tench Coxe, Letter to the Pennsylvania Gazette, 20 February 1788

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn
