Carr: Just trying to hide from Trump’s ‘reign of terror’ | Boston Herald
Carr: Just trying to hide from Trump’s ‘reign of terror’ | Boston Herald:
"Hey, he was just forging the documents Americans can’t be bothered to counterfeit.
The charge: unsworn falsification and tampering with public records.
One down, 20 million or so to go.
I got that N.H. State Police news release yesterday just after I had read yet another sob story about the reign of terror that the Trump administration is allegedly unleashing on America."

Smart Road to Parked Car: Talk to Me
Smart Road to Parked Car: Talk to Me - IEEE Spectrum:
"When cars start talking both to one another and to traffic signals, they will sometimes suffer from the cellphone user’s bane: dropped calls.
That’s because there won’t always be enough cars roaming around to serve as partners or relays.
So why not have access to parked cars?
They’re shiny, they’re rested, and they are there precisely when you need them most—when few cars are plying the roads.
Until now, most concepts for smart roads have planned to fill gaps in the chain of communication with relay stations.
You find such roadside units, as they’re called, in Japan and in parts of Europe.
The problem is, each one carries an upfront cost of around US $50,000, according [PDF] to the U.S. General Accounting Office.
Throw in maintenance and amortization and the annual cost can average $18,000.
“That’s why the U.S. government hasn’t deployed them massively,” says Ozan Tonguz, a professor of electrical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh.
Tonguz hopes to get around the weak infrastructure by wringing more networking power out of the cars themselves.
“The idea is that once people park their cars, this amenity is already there for others..."

American College of Pediatrics reaches decision: Transgenderism of children is child abuse | BizPac Review:
"The American College of Pediatricians issued a statement this week condemning gender reclassification in children by stating that transgenderism in children amounts to child abuse.
“The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality.”
The policy statement, authored by Johns Hopkins Medical School Psychology Professor Paul McHugh, listed eight arguments on why gender reclassification is harmful.
1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX”

Flashback 2012: Andrew Breitbart Declares War On CNN & New York Times
Flashback 2012: Andrew Breitbart Declares War On CNN & New York Times | Video | RealClearPolitics:
"In footage that came to light as a part of the 2012 documentary 'Hating Breitbart,' the right wing populist website's co-founder Andrew Breitbart explains his plan to attack and destroy the mainstream media, specifically CNN and the New York Times.
"The media class is the wall that we have to climb over in order for our voices to be heard," he said. "Once our voices are heard, then Democracy will happen."
Breitbart passed away suddenly in March 2012 at age 43. Stephen K. Bannon, who took over Breitbart's news website after his death, is now the top assistant to the president.
"My goal is to destroy the New York Times and CNN," Breitbart said in the video. "And not just them."
"That they would take our criticism and our acting as their checks and balances --the fifth estate on the fourth estate-- that they would correct themselves and become better citizens."
"They've chose not to go that route and I really believe and I'm committed to the destruction of the old media guard... and its a very good business model." Breitbart said. "I believe that from that something better will come."
"The media class is the wall that we have to climb over in order for our voices to be heard," he concludes. "Once our voices are heard, then Democracy will happen."

The Women's March website suggests three ways to participate in the strike:

- Refrain from shopping for the day — or if you must shop, choose small, women- and minority-owned businesses.
- Wear red in solidarity with those participating in and supporting the strike.
