Policy expansion to allow ICE to use ‘expedited deportation’ anywhere in the US

Wednesday, July 24, 2019

The Trump administration has finalized a plan that will allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to rapidly deport illegal aliens by bypassing immigration courts in situations where an illegal alien is unable to prove that they have been present in the United States continuously for at least two years. “The Department of Homeland Security will publish a notice in the Federal Register Tuesday that aims to use the department’s full statutory authority to employ ‘expedited removal’ to a wider range of undocumented immigrants who cross the border illegally,” Politico reported.

Rats infest LA, other CA cities as state restricts poison | The Sacramento Bee

Wednesday, July 24, 2019

The rats were winning.

There were so many earlier this summer outside the CalEPA building in downtown Sacramento officials had to close its outdoor playground out of fear state employees’ kids would catch rodent-borne diseases.

To fight back, building officials set out a controversial type of rat poison whose use may soon be banned statewide by the California Legislature. The poison didn’t stay out very long once word got out the state’s top environmental regulators were using a poison widely condemned by California’s powerful environmental groups.

I think that the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah has completely lost their minds.

Will they be hosting the next “Black Death” plague?

At some point, will sanity return to the “Golden State”?

I’m not so sure.

A Bank With $49 Trillion in Exposure to Derivatives – LewRockwell

Monday, July 22, 2019

We know that Deutsche Bank’s derivative tentacles extend into most of the major Wall Street banks. According to a 2016 reportfrom the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Deutsche Bank is heavily interconnected financially to JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America as well as other mega banks in Europe. The IMF concluded that Deutsche Bank posed a greater threat to global financial stability than any other bank as a result of these interconnections – and that was when its market capitalization was tens of billions of dollars larger than it is today.

As I said after the last “crisis”, isn’t “too big to fail” really “too big to exist”?

Seems like the corporate tax code could be used effectively to mitigate this risk.  For example, a balance sheet that is bigger than the Federal budget is subject to a 5% excess tax.  And, no one can get a W2 for more than the President gets. How about that executives get 20 year non-transferable non-optionable corporate bonds for their compensation more than the President?  (Guess they’d have to be sure the Firm survives long enough for their bonds to pay off!)

Corporations are creations of the Gooferment and can be treated badly like this.

Oh, and yes, no “campaign contributions”!

NBC News — or NBC propaganda?

Monday, July 22, 2019

Alternatively, NBC could provide time to policy experts from the conservative think tanks or from journals of opinion like The New Criterion, National Review, First Things or City Journal. To be fair, the network should allow each advocate similar amounts of air time and in the same format.

It’s propaganda!

How about getting Joe the Plumber to do the interview?

Of course, they may have to bleep the “Are you @#$%^& kidding me?” that I’d expect from him.

Posting a negative review online can get you sued – CBS News

Monday, July 22, 2019

“A SLAPP filer doesn’t go to court to seek justice; they are just trying to silence or harass or intimidate a critic of theirs,” Mascagni said.Some states have laws against SLAPP lawsuits, but there is no federal anti-SLAPP statute.Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Commission began cracking down on businesses that put gag clauses in their consumer contracts in violation of the Consumer Review Fairness Act.

They came after the progressives and I said nothing because I am not a progressive, then they came for the conservatives and I said nothing, for I am not conservative, then they came for etc. and so on and I blah, blah, blah.Finally they came after me and there was no one left to speak up for me.

Seaside Heights Officials Decry ‘Disgraceful’ $100 Private Parking Lot Fees | Lavallette-Seaside Shorebeat

Thursday, July 18, 2019

Seaside Heights council members didn’t hold back at their first meeting since the July 4 holiday, when both officials and visitors began seeing private parking lots in town charging up to $100 for one day’s worth of parking.”To charge this kind of money and chase people away is a crime,” said Co

​Here we go again with politicians and bureaucrats determining what’s good for us all.  If a lot owner wants to charge 100$, let them.  I doubt that they’ll succeed with that ​business model.  Especially when there’s free parking at the bay.  Just let the invisible hand of the free market supply discipline.  It can do it faster, cheaper, and better than any Gooferment Diktat.  Argh!

Matt Drudge’s ‘Future’ Is Now Realized, And That Has Legacy Media Enraged.

Wednesday, July 17, 2019

But, the rulers of legacy media think that they have a monopoly on truth. They believe they should decide who is a journalist and who is not. Citizen journalists are disdained by the legacy media from places like CNN, NBC, and MSNBC. Thus, the legacy media’s response to the summit has been one of smears and ugly insults, even potentially dangerous doxxing. This is because the legacy media now understands that their influence over the American people is all but dead thanks to the internet.  President Donald J. Trump’s election,  to colloquially put it, whacked the mainstream media upside the head. Now, they are taking vengeance on anybody who supports him.

Sorry but he’s correct.  The legacy media is akin to the “walking dead”.  Every time, another member of “We, The Sheeple” turns to the inet for “news”, they take another “cut” as in “death of a thousand cuts”.

If I was the boring old WSJ, I’d figure out how to take “micropayments”; rather than insisting on overpriced long subscription.  Another thing the old new papers are doing is “99¢” teaser rates.

Instead of the WSJ paywall, I’d have WSJ “story vending machine”.  When a non-subscriber comes up to read an article of interest, give them the first paragraph free and offer the rest for a fraction of cent. (That’s why micropayments are critical!) 1¢ = 0.0000010 of a bitcoin. (₿ * (10 ** – 6))

Think of it like a coin-operated newspaper kiosk.

I know I’d use such a technology.

Ex- Obama Officials Admit NYT’s Tubman $20 Hit Piece Was Fake News

Wednesday, July 17, 2019

Last month, Breitbart News debunked the New York Times’ attempted hit piece, which framed Mnuchin as deliberately delaying the release of the Tubman $20 in order to avoid an embarrassing conflict with President Trump. The Times based its report on a conversation with an anonymous employee of the bureau, who claimed to have seen a digital image of the redesigned bill.

AR-15 Not For Home Defense? Tell This Florida Man That

Tuesday, July 16, 2019

AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File Usually, when the headline contains the word “Florida Man,” you expect to see something ridiculous. The adventures of Florida Man have reached legendary status and are the stuff of mockery, though Floridians would rather their fellow residents show some restraint.

Source: AR-15 Not For Home Defense? Tell This Florida Man That

*** begin quote ***

A 61-year-old man found himself up against four armed attackers, all younger than him, and the anti-gunners don’t think that’s the time to use an AR-15? He was disadvantaged in every other way possible. His best course of action was to at least have them outgunned as best he could. Even so, he was still wounded.

*** end quote ***

AR15’s are the PERFECT weapon for home defense.  ANY weapon is the PERFECT weapon as long as you have one.  And, it’s not in an inaccessible gun safe or the ammo stored far away.  Sigh!
