The Republic is dead II

Question: What is the Constitution for?
Answer: To limit the power of the federal government.

The federal code contains something like 5,000 criminal statutes and describes an estimated 30,000 regulatory violations that can be treated as crimes.

The founders would be aghast.

#NeverTrump Stupidity

Enabling the Hildabeast to win the White House just because Trump isn’t conservative enough or you worry about his shoot-from-the-hip style is stoopid.

“You’re signing up for four to eight more years of unending social aggression from the left, discarding your one chance to actually do a god-damn thing about it…”

She won’t sell the White House, she’ll rent it

Bye, Bye Internet

Yes, it still seems to be working. Far as I can tell. Not that I’ve ever had that many visitors to Ye Olde Abode. But I don’t expect to be affected much.

It’s the future that could be scary. Just ask Mark Grabowski, an internet law prof at Adelphi U. on Long Island, NY. He’s not confident it will turn out well at all.

“There is currently nothing prohibiting ICANN, post-transition, from eliminating or transferring what are essentially the Web addresses for U.S. government and military websites. A company owned by or located in Russia or China could end up managing whitehouse.gov, fbi.gov or army.mil. Losing control of these web domains would put our nation’s security at risk.

“Another concern is transparency. Publicly available databases, which show who owns what domain name and how to contact them, could disappear. Companies and law enforcement rely on these to resolve infringement and cybersecurity issues, and eliminating access would have a severe effect on businesses’ ability to protect themselves.”

Most of bye, bye Internet pieces are sanguine about it. No biggie. Grabowski’s is not.

Bring out your dead!

The old cry of the black plague cities will have a whole new meaning as the presidential election nears. The ruling class’s Democrat enforcers can’t help themselves. This is how they’ve always won elections.

To paraphrase someone I can’t recall offhand: My mother never voted for a Democrat until after she died.
