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.

Why I did not watch the debate

For one thing, I knew I could get the juicy details off the Web without bothering to waste ninety minutes of my life, much of it listening to Harpy Hillary lie her way through an obfuscating forest of mildewed cliches.

Another reason is that I didn’t expect the so-called moderator—an NBC drone who would only pretend to be objective—to treat Trump fairly and from what I’ve read so far he didn’t. He sucked up to the Harpy at every opportunity and he even out-Candied Candy Crowley contradicting Trump a few times. He became the third debater. He ought to be ashamed. But he already works for NBC.

But primarily I know who I’m voting for and it’s not Queen Cankles—whom it is being said looked drugged up with a vapid Miss America smile and probably was wearing a wire—and her scummy husband The Groper. Nothing she says or, for that matter, whatever Trump says is going to change my mind.

As James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal put it, all Trump had to do was prove himself to be sane. And the polls are already doing it for him. The Hildabeast had to prove herself trustworthy and she couldn’t possibly do that in ninety minutes. Especially not when decades as a lying, crooked pol and the wife of a lying, crooked pol have proven otherwise to all but her most diehard supporters.

Althouse, who did watch, said: “Overall, I’ll just say that was very unpleasant and I’m glad it’s over. I switched it off without stopping to listen to any of the spin.”

And Mr. B. who watched some of it in between doing his homework: “You were right, it was boring.”

Why the Obama Economy Sucks

It’s not just the taxes that could have been lowered to give the poor economy a boost. It’s the constant pressure on business to spend its money elsewhere than on employment.

“In sum, consider President Obama‘s overall regulatory record: 624 major rules (as of this writing) and on track to approach 650 major regulations, 31 percent more than his predecessor. Regulators have added more than $760 billion in net costs since 2010, with 485 million in net paperwork burden hours….”

Black Activist to Obama…

In response to his whine about taking it personally if blacks don’t vote for you-know-who.

“…The enthusiasm level for Hillary Clinton in the black Community in Florida is swimming with the Tidy Bowl man. Trust me, as it currently stands, folks will not be standing in line for hours to vote for her.”

Brutal reviews for Clinton’s campaign book

Campaign books generally are boilerplate boring. Obama’s was awful and made it obvious someone else wrote his Dreams From My Father. Even before his Chicago sidekick Bill Ayers confessed to doing it.

But Grandmaw? Even the reviews are brutal mockery. Hint: 83 percent of 614 reviews are one star. Example follows.

“Pre-ordered an autographed copy but had to return it after this week’s announcement as I was worried it was contaminated with pneumonia bacteria. I didn’t want to end up exposed to the illness like her grandkids in Chelsea’s apartment she was playing with on 9/11 after she collapsed, or the little girl she was hugging in the street afterwards.

“Thought about ordering the Kindle version but I thought it might open my device up to being hacked by communist countries. I wasn’t too surprised to see Tim Kaine on the front cover giving the traditional National Socialist salute, I felt it fitting. Strongly recommended for those who believe the USA isn’t anything special and should be more like the peaceful utopias of North Korea, Iran, or Cuba.”

Read a few more, if you’ve got nothing better to do.

UPDATE:  Amazon tried to make this more palatable to ? someone, Democrats I suppose, by deleting most of the one star reviews. Didn’t work. Reviewers started clicking on five stars while leaving sarcasm like this: “I bought this thinking it would be a how-to book. I wanted ‘How to set up your own Foundation for fun and profit.’ Also, would like to have seen a chapter on ‘Ten easy steps to setting up your own secure server in a bathroom,’ wrote Elaine.”

The Clinton phony charity

Yeah, we all know the Clinton Foundation is a criminal operation, taking in foreign an domestic big bucks for pay-to-play influence and helping Slick and the Hildabeast and their beloved Chelsea pad their expense accounts.

But it’s nice to see actual numbers applied to their scam.

Just 5.7 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s massive 2014 budget actually went to charitable grants, according to the tax-exempt organization’s IRS filings. The rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and ‘other expenses.’”

Even in the world of phony charities that spend less on charity than they do on expenses, this has to be something of a record. Stronger Together, her campaign slogan, takes on a whole new meaning, eh?
