It took until 2013 for this CNN headline, however: Tawana Brawley starts paying man she falsely accused of rape in 1987.
And since 2011, NBC and Comcast have kept Al Sharpton on the payroll, likely as both self-protection and as payback for supporting their merger.--Posted by Ed Driscoll at 8:16 pm

We've finally found something politicians and reporters have considered important enough to keep secret for decades

We've finally found something politicians and reporters have considered important enough to keep secret for decades:

Reporters should be digging deep into this slush fund, but they seem to have as much interest in that as they do in who killed Seth Rich and why. "

Image result for free clip art Scratching Head"It's just that I have trouble putting this into practice. God forgive me. The problem is that the Left's arguments are often so convoluted, absurd, and self-defeating that I couldn't take them seriously if I tried. And I have tried. But when I follow one of their philosophical threads to its logical conclusion, I discover that the thread has no conclusion. It suddenly splits in another direction, and another, and another, and when I step back all I see is a tangled web of contradictions. What choice do I have but to be dismissive? All that one can do with nonsense, in the end, is dismiss it."

Why Ajit Pai's decision killing Obama's net neutrality FCC regulation is good

Why Ajit Pai's decision killing Obama's net neutrality FCC regulation is good:
"...Net neutrality’s dubious value is made obvious by the misleading way Democrats and many news outlets reported the decision.
“F.C.C. plans net neutrality repeal in a victory for telecoms,” wrote the New York Times.
Missing from the headline or lede was that the decision was a loss for Netflix, Amazon, Google, and other corporate giants that provider content.
This is the Democratic line. 
By portraying deregulation as a bonbon for Big Business, and concealing the hit taken by some of the biggest businesses (see above), these partial accounts avoid debating the issue on its merits and dwindle into demagoguery, where they are comfortable.
This is an established pattern with net neutrality.
When the FCC voted in 2015 to impose net neutrality rules, the text of the relevant order wasn’t published until after the vote.
...Net neutrality regulation also effectively outlaws competing business models, which are good for customers and the economy as a whole.
Competing business models allow experimentation, and this leads to providers serving customers better by meeting their needs more precisely.
Consider the possibility of Internet “fast lanes.”
As telemedicine becomes an increasingly important part of healthcare, wouldn’t you want your surgeon to be able to buy access to an express lane in which a network was allowed to grant privilege to certain data over others?
That is, AT&T should be allowed to provide a service in which data bytes flowing between an operating room and a surgeon take precedence over bytes of 100 dudes Googling to find out whether Jennifer Lawrence is married.
...The FCC’s move last week will leave Internet business models to compete in the marketplace rather than competing in smoke-filled rooms for the favor of regulators..."

If GPS Failed, We’d Be More Than Lost - cetusnews

If GPS Failed, We’d Be More Than Lost - cetusnews:
"North Korea and Russia pose increasingly serious geopolitical threats to the U.S. and its allies. While these rogue nations possess nuclear weapons and formidable conventional forces, they have also used unconventional methods like hacking to attack government institutions and private companies.
Add another target to the list of concerns: the Global Positioning System.
Built primarily for the U.S. military, GPS is now used by civilians across the globe.
Smartphones, personal navigation units, and air-traffic control all rely on it.
They’re part of modern life, constantly performing trivial and critical functions all over the country. Fifteen of the “18 Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource sectors” in the U.S. are GPS-reliant, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Temporary, local GPS failures have already proved chaotic.
A truck driver in New Jersey used an illegal but easily acquired GPS jammer to prevent his boss from tracking him. 
As he drove past Newark Liberty International Airport, his jammer blocked air-traffic control signals. No one was injured, but someone setting out to do deliberate harm could pose a security risk in the future.
As troublesome as a minor threat is, what if GPS as a whole were attacked?
The detonation of a nuclear device high in the atmosphere—and the creation of an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, that would follow—present the most likely threat to the satellites that underpin the system.
See the source imageIn September 1962, a nuclear test conducted by the U.S. accidentally destroyed a British satellite and streetlights in Hawaii, demonstrating the potential devastation of an EMP.
Anything that requires precise timing would be affected because GPS satellites serve as global timekeepers.
The loss of clock synchronization across the world would cause the internet to stall and financial transactions to cease.
Our ability to monitor and forecast the weather would be hobbled, too.
Even if America’s adversaries are not capable of pulling off such a feat, Mother Nature certainly is. In 1859, a ferocious solar storm known as the Carrington Event shot charged particles from the sun toward Earth.
 If it were to happen again today, experts believe that satellites all over the world could be destroyed. NASA warns that they can’t be protected.
The U.S. would be wise to stockpile communications satellites to replace the ones the sun obliterates.
A better option is to build a land-based navigation system..."

Climate Change Advocates Attack Capitalism | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

Climate Change Advocates Attack Capitalism | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Environmentalism: Every once in a while, environmentalists will let slip that the goal of fighting climate change can't be won unless capitalism is first defeated.
The fact that there's no evidence to support the claim doesn't seem to matter.
Image result for ussr environmentThe latest to make this case is Arizona State University fellow Benjamin Fong in an Op-Ed published recently by the New York Times, headlined "The Climate Crisis? It's Capitalism, Stupid."
"It should be stated plainly: It's capitalism that is at fault," he writes.
Or, what he later calls "the rampant stupidity of capitalism."
The answer, he says, is a "democratic socialist society."
Fong isn't the only one making this claim. Naomi Klein's 2014 book titled "This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate" argues that the planet is doomed unless the world abandons "free market" ideology.
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of climate change policy wasn't just to cut CO2 emissions, but "to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution..."

Cokie Roberts: Oh, We All Knew To Avoid Getting in An Elevator With Rep. Conyers - Christine Rousselle:
"Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Cokie Roberts made a startling admission: "every female in the press corps knew" to avoid being in an elevator with Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), and has apparently known about this "for years."
Conyers has been accused of multiple instances of sexual harassment and has stepped down from the House Judiciary Committee.
Despite the allegations against him, major players in the Democratic Party have defended Conyers and will not say that he should resign. 
Pelosi even referred to the embattled congressman as an "icon."

Sounds like Flint MI scam-----Puerto Rico Doesn’t Want Reform - WSJ

Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority employees fix power lines in San Juan, Oct. 19.Puerto Rico Doesn’t Want Reform - WSJ:
"It has been 10 weeks since Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico.
The devastation was fierce.
Yet it cannot explain why almost half the generating capacity of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (Prepa) is still down.
Credit for that goes to Congress, which in June 2016 passed the Puerto Rico Oversight Management and Economic Stability Act, a k a Promesa.
It opened the door to debt defaults that violate the Puerto Rican constitution and U.S. law.
As is always the case when the rule of law takes a back seat to politics, it has fueled chaos.
Prepa blames its disastrous post-hurricane decisions on a shortage of cash.
Yet in the immediate aftermath of the storm, a group of Prepa bondholders offered the company fresh debtor-in-possession financing that included a swap of $1 billion in existing debt for $850 million in new bonds and $1 billion in new cash.
Puerto Rico rejected the offer...
...Now Mr. Rosselló is asking for $94 billion in aid from Washington for reconstruction costs.
But he’s refused to implement furloughs and pension cuts mandated by the Promesa board. "
