Man Gets 33 Months For Stealing 55 Firearms – Bearing Arms

Tuesday, May 21, 2019

If there’s one legitimate gun problem in this country, it’s stolen firearms.Regardless of who they stole them from, gun thieves turn around and sell firearms to some of the worst people imaginable. They don’t care about what comes next, unlike legitimate gun dealers who will refuse a sale to anyone who appears suspicious. They’re arming other criminals, and they know it.

Like my rant about the Gooferment that fails to prosecute and punish harshly the “felon in possession” FEDERAL law with a mandatory 5 year sentence, here too, when they have a real chance to send a message, they wimp out.

Argh!

Behind the Movement to Kick Chicago Out of Illinois

Monday, May 20, 2019

So far, she has 26 county chapters that want to split the rest of Illinois from Chicago. When forming her organization, Merritt sought advice from other state separation organizations, like New California. The group, which is run by a conservative radio talk show host, advocates for the creation of a new state split from the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas “to throw off the bonds of tyranny.”

Eat your non-instant oatmeal.

Google Gmail tracks purchase history — how to delete it

Saturday, May 18, 2019

Google tracks a lot of what you buy, even if you purchased it elsewhere, like in a store or from Amazon.Last week, CEO Sundar Pichai wrote a New York Times op-ed that said “privacy cannot be a luxury good.” But behind the scenes, Google is still collecting a lot of personal information from the services you use, such as Gmail, and some of it can’t be easily deleted.A page called “Purchases ” shows an accurate list of many — though not all — of the things I’ve bought dating back to at least 2012. I made these purchases using online services or apps such as Amazon, DoorDash or Seamless, or in stores such as Macy’s, but never directly through Google.

The Evil Income Tax – LewRockwell

Saturday, May 18, 2019

It is imperative that we MUST eliminate the income tax. It is a purely a Marxist development that is destroying the world economy. The income tax has become such a tyranny that our liberty, freedom of movement, and world economic growth are all at great risk. Never before in the history of human civilization do we find an income tax.

I completely agree.

“We, The Sheeple”, in that day and age, must have been out of their minds to allow this to happen.

ADMINISTRIVIA: Testing textexpander on Chromebook

Friday, May 17, 2019

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? 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

Works!

But not in the Chrome Address Bar.

Senator Wyden Leads on Securing Elections Before 2020

Friday, May 17, 2019

Sen. Ron Wyden’s new proposal to protect the integrity of U.S. elections, the Protecting American Votes and Elections (PAVE) Act of 2019, takes a much needed step forward by requiring a return to paper ballots. The bill forcefully addresses a grave threat to American democracy—outdated election technologies used in polling places all over the country that run the risk of recording inaccurate votes or even allowing outside actors to maliciously interfere with the votes that individuals cast.

Ten Years Later—Did QE Work? – The Big Picture

Thursday, May 16, 2019

Altogether, the empirical studies of recent years suggest that large-scale asset purchases can affect real economic outcomes via a bank lending channel. Like an interest rate cut in a conventional monetary policy setting, QE can lead to additional bank lending, which in turn translates into additional economic activity.

It overlooks: (1) increased moral hazard; (2) bailed out Wall Street at the expense of Main Street; and (3) kills the retirement savings of retirees and soon to be retirees.

The only answer is to END THE FED!

Eight Questions for Russia Hoaxers to Answer After End of Mueller Probe | Breitbart

Thursday, May 16, 2019

2 – Were Obama administration officials involved in passing dossier charges of questionable political origin to the FBI or bolstering Steele’s credibility to the bureau?David Kramer, a long-time adviser to late Senator John McCain, revealed in testimony that he met with two Obama administration officials to inquire about whether the anti-Trump dossier authored by former British spy Christopher Steele was being taken seriously.In a deposition on Dec. 13, 2017 that was recently posted online, Kramer said that McCain specifically asked him in early December 2016 to meet about the dossier with Victoria Nuland, a senior official in John Kerry’s State Department, as well as an official from the National Security Council.Nuland’s specific role in the dossier episode has been the subject of some controversy for her.

Ajit Pai proposes new rule that would allow carriers to block robocalls – The Verge

Wednesday, May 15, 2019

The new rule would make it easier for carriers, like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, to automatically register their customers for call-blocking technology. As of right now, customers have to opt-in on their own. It would also allow customers to block calls coming from phone numbers that are not on their contacts list. Commissioners are expected to vote on the measure at their June 6th meeting.

Sounds like “it’s about time”.

I love how Gooferment always arrive late to the party and then claims to lead!

I’d like an option that non-contact calls get route to voice mail automagically.
