The FCC Did NOT Vote To Roll Back Net Neutrality | The Daily Sheeple

The FCC Did NOT Vote To Roll Back Net Neutrality | The Daily Sheeple
The Federal Communications Commission’s 2-1 vote Thursday on “Restoring Internet Freedom” was not a repeal of net neutrality regulations as many are reporting.
....Thursday’s vote does not immediately repeal 2015 regulations passed under President Obama’s FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.
The vote initiates a notice of proposed rule-making, during which time industry stakeholders, advocates and the general public can submit comments to the FCC.
The 2-1 vote fell down party lines, with freshly appointed Republican Federal Communications Commisions Chairman Ajit Pai and Republican Commissioner Mike O’Rielly voting in favor of the measure.
Democratic Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, the daughter of Democratic South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, voted against the measure.
In 2015, under former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler, the FCC reclassified broadband internet access service as a utility under Title II of the Communications Act, which gave the FCC stronger oversight authority.
Known as the 2015 Open Internet Order, the new rules established three “bright line rules” that prohibits internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking legal content over their networks, slowing down internet traffic, and prioritizing traffic from websites that are willing to pay to promote their web content over competitors.
Pai has long argued that the 2015 FCC decision to impose Title II utility-style government regulations on internet service providers (ISPs) was misguided and unnecessary.
“These utility-style regulations, known as Title II, were and are like the proverbial sledgehammer being wielded against the flea—except that here, there was no flea,” he said Thursday...
...Opponents of the 2015 order argue that the rules could lead to heavy-handed government interference that hurts business and in turn, hurts consumers. Those same opponents applauded Pai Thursday."

Judge Throws Out Clock Boy's Discrimination Lawsuit: Lacked 'Any Facts' To Justify Case | Daily Wire:

"Clock Boy" Ahmed Mohamed added another chapter on Thursday when a federal judge threw out the boy's discrimination lawsuit against the City of Irving, Texas, saying the plaintiff "does not allege any facts from which this court can reasonably infer that any [Irving Independent School District] employee intentionally discriminated against Ahmed Mohamed based on his race or religion.""

Life Among the Ants - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Life Among the Ants - Hit & Run : Reason.com
"In the late 1940s and early '50s, GM chief Alfred P. Sloan funded a series of anti-communist cartoons.
(The story behind the films is convoluted, but the compressed version is that Sloan's foundation gave grants to Harding College, an Arkansas-based Christian school, which then paid former Disney animator John Sutherland's studio to make them.) 
One of the shorts is Albert in Blunderland, a 1950 attack on the planned economy. 
It presents communism as an anthill society—literally, with actual ants.

While just about everyone involved in funding this film hailed from the political right, the cartoon was clearly aimed at a union-friendly working-class audience; it defends independent trade unions and warns that state factories will be able to impose harsh speed-ups with impunity. 
In a precursor of sorts to the Hard Hat Riot, it ends with a blue-collar worker beating up a socialist:

(For past editions of the Friday A/V Club, go here. I haven't featured any of the Sloan/Harding/Sutherland films in the A/V Club before, but their 1948 effort "Make Mine Freedom" has turned up elsewhere on this website.)

DELINGPOLE: 'Penises Cause Climate Change'; Progressives Fooled by Peer-Reviewed Hoax Study - Breitbart

DELINGPOLE: 'Penises Cause Climate Change'; Progressives Fooled by Peer-Reviewed Hoax Study - Breitbart:
"Gender studies is a fake academic industry populated by charlatans, deranged activists and gullible idiots.

Now, a pair of enterprising hoaxers has proved it scientifically by persuading an academic journal to peer-review and publish their paper claiming that the penis is not really a male genital organ but a social construct.

The paper, published by Cogent Social Sciences – “a multidisciplinary open access journal offering high quality peer review across the social sciences” – also claims that penises are responsible for causing climate change.

The two hoaxers are Peter Boghossian, a full-time faculty member in the Philosophy department at Portland State University, and James Lindsay, who has a doctorate in math and a background in physics.

They were hoping to emulate probably the most famous academic hoax in recent years: the Sokal Hoax – named after NYU and UCL physics professor Alan Sokal – who in 1996 persuaded an academic journal called Social Text to accept a paper titled “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity”.

Sokal’s paper – comprising pages of impressive-sounding but meaningless pseudo-academic jargon – was written in part to demonstrate that humanities journals will publish pretty much anything so long as it sounds like “proper leftist thought;” and partly in order to send up the absurdity of so much post-modernist social science..."

Legalized marijuana turns Colorado resort town into homeless magnet | Fox News:
"The picturesque town near the New Mexico border, once a vibrant, upscale community dotted with luxury hotels, is being overrun by panhandlers – thanks, in part, to the legalization of marijuana.
The town suddenly became a haven for recreational pot users, drawing in transients, panhandlers and a large number of homeless drug addicts, according to officials and business owners.
Many are coming from New Mexico, Arizona and even New York.
“Legalized marijuana has drawn a lot of kids here from other states and the impact has not all been good,” said Marinseck, 58, while holding a cardboard sign asking for “help.”
Several people holding cardboard signs could be seen along the streets of Durango now.
Some just ask for marijuana, or imply that’s what they want with a photo of a green pot leaf.
But it’s not just pot users being drawn to Durango.
“[The] city really started freaking out when they started seeing needles in the streets” said Marinseck, a self-avowed former hippie..."

Limbaugh: Where Are Comey's Memos From Meetings With Obama? | Fox News Insider:

"Rush Limbaugh questioned whether the American people will get to see former FBI Director James Comey's memos from meetings with President Barack Obama.
The radio host was reacting to the report from the New York Times, which cited memos written by Comey claiming President Trump pressured him to end the investigation into Michael Flynn.
Congress is now vowing to subpoena the memos and have Comey testify publicly following his firing by Trump.

"If the FBI director's been keeping memos on meetings with everybody and he doesn't run the Department of Justice. I mean, we're not talking about J. Edgar Hoover here, or are we?" Limbaugh asked."

Journalists' brains function at a lower level than average, study says - Business Insider
"Journalists' brains show a lower-than-average level of executive functioning, according to a new study, which means they have a below-average ability to 

• regulate their emotions, 
• suppress biases, 
• solve complex problems, 
• switch between tasks, and 
• show creative and flexible thinking.

The study, led by Tara Swart, a neuroscientist and leadership coach, analysed 40 journalists from newspapers, magazines, broadcast, and online platforms over seven months. 

The participants took part in tests related to their lifestyle, health, and behaviour.

...The results showed that journalists' brains were operating at a lower level than the average population, particularly because of dehydration and the tendency of journalists to self-medicate with alcohol, caffeine, and high-sugar foods..."

Chicago Public Schools to borrow $389 MILLION to avoid ending school year early | EAGnews.org
"CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools plans to borrow $389 million to make it through the current school year, money officials hope to pay back with overdue state aid payments.
The borrowing will be expensive because of the district’s junk bond rating, and would only serve to avert a financial crisis until next fiscal year, when CPS will face another massive budget deficit, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Chicago Chief Financial Officer Carole Brown said the board will vote Wednesday on a plan to borrow $389 million to help cover a $721 million payment to the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund. 
...District officials are banking on funds from a new $250 million pension property tax levy this summer to cover the rest.

Tim Scott Revives Police Body Camera Legislation

Tim Scott Revives Police Body Camera Legislation:
"WASHINGTON -- Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is seizing on National Police Week as the right time to re-introduce his legislation to help all departments get outfitted with body cameras for officers.
Scott began his push for the grant program in 2015.
The senator grew up in North Charleston, S.C., where Walter Scott, no relation, was running from police after a traffic stop that April and was shot in the back.
The officer, Michael Slager, was fired and pleaded guilty this month to federal civil rights charges in exchange for state murder charges being dropped.
There was no body camera footage of the shooting, but it was captured on a cell phone camera by a bystander.
Scott intensified his campaign for body cameras after Freddie Gray, a young man in Baltimore who suffered a fatal spinal injury in police custody, died in April 2015.
No officers were convicted in his death.
...At least one study shows that public complaints against officers wearing body cameras fell by almost 90% and that officers’ use of force decreased by 60%," he wrote.
...“Our nation has experienced too much pain and heartache from tragedies that could have been more clearly explained if body cameras were in use."...

U.N.'s Global Warming Fraudsters Are More Interested In Climate Cash Than Climate Change | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:

"Just when you think the climate change lunacy couldn't get any worse, the U.N.'s climate-crats up the ante. Meeting in Bonn, Germany, for yet another unneeded climate conference, attendees are now demanding $300 billion a year more to help less-developed nations cope with anticipated climatic warming. Are they kidding?

By the way, that $300 billion is in addition to the $100 billion that the world's governments have already promised to deliver under the Paris Climate Agreement. So now they're asking for a total of $400 billion a year in climate welfare for the developing world. No sane government would sign on to such a scam. Which of course means that most of them probably will."

After Mueller, Trump Critics Worry: Maybe There’s No Scandal - The American Interest

After Mueller, Trump Critics Worry: Maybe There’s No Scandal - The American Interest: 
"Eli Lake is right: The DOJ’s appointment of widely-respected former prosecutor Robert Mueller to lead the special inquiry into the Trump campaign’s potential collusion with Russia is a reprieve for a Trump Administration in crisis—a reprieve that it will almost certainly squander, but a reprieve nonetheless.
How do we know? 
Because the responses from Trump’s most dogged critics on the Russia question betray a kind of anxiety about the Mueller appointment—an anxiety that the no-nonsense law enforcement wise man will lower the temperature in Washington without actually uncovering enough damaging material to bring down the President.
Take, for example, Josh Marshall declaring that while he has confidence in Mueller to identify and expose any criminal activities undertaken by Trump or his associates, he won’t be able to prosecute the real Trump-Russia wrongdoing: a labyrinthian “conspiracy” which may not even involve any illegal behavior.
It is critical to understand that the most important details we need to know about the Russian disruption campaign and the Trump campaign’s possible collusion with it may not be crimes.
Indeed, I would say that the crimes we’re likely to discover will likely be incidental or secondary to the broader actions and activities we’re trying to uncover..."

Government Pays Debt Collectors $40 For Each $1 They Retrieve

Government Pays Debt Collectors $40 For Each $1 They Retrieve:
"The U.S. government pays professional debt collecting agencies, on average, nearly 40 times the value of what they collect, according to joint research released Tuesday from the Consumer Financial Protections Bureau and government filings.
The federal government is annually dolling out an average of $1 billion to debt collectors to retrieve borrowers delinquent debt, Bloomberg reports.
Of course, it is American taxpayers, not the government, that are shouldering this hefty sum.
Currently, the government is particularly interested in retrieving outstanding student loan debt.
Student loans are one of the most common and largest forms of borrowing in recent years, as families still hold to the belief that a college education is the necessary for achieving the “American Dream.”
The total value of outstanding student loans eclipses $1.3 trillion in 2017.
Nearly 8 million Americans holding some $137 billion in federal student loans are at least 360 days delinquent on their payments.
That figure is roughly equivalent to the number of people who lost their homes after the housing market collapse of 2007..."

"A Partial List Of What Trump Has Been Able To Accomplish Since Taking Office Despite The Media, The Left and The Republican Establishment Trying To Take Him Down

Side note: Please name two things Obama accomplished in his 8 years that made this country better. And don't say, got Bin laden.

Since President Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017, he's been under endless attack by the media, the left and the establishment republicans. In many ways, they are all in the same. But this hasn't stopped Trump from getting many things done on his own.

If these accomplishments are not familiar, that’s because 99 percent of the media are a de facto arm of the Democratic National Committee and the far-left fringe, and are so terminally distressed by the fact that Trump won the presidency that they obstinately refuse to report what by any objective standards is the news.

This is because....

They’ve been pushing leftist values for well over a half century and are unable to admit that their anti-Trump, pro-Hillary message was an utter and complete failure.

They are part and parcel of the vast, contaminated, rancid, crooked, pay-for-play, corrupt swamp that candidate Trump promised to drain, and President Trump is now draining.

The man they mock––for his syntax and phrasing, style of governing, unpredictability, and so-called contradictions––has both confounded and trumped them at every turn.

This is why they remain fixated on the fairy tale of a Trump-Russian connection. 
They have nothing else––as in nothing!

"Our nation can’t be so obsessed with Trump that it misses one of the last poisonous acts of the Obama administration — yesterday’s formal release of Chelsea Manning (Bradley Manning legally changed his name to Chelsea in 2014). The man broke faith with his brothers-in-arms, broke faith with his country, and put lives at risk. Yet he has the gall today to go on a Twitter and Instagram spree (complete with posed pictures) celebrating his unearned liberty. Oh, and he’s still being applauded by the likes of Amnesty International and others as some sort of heroic “whistleblower.”"
