The FTC's Antitrust Radicals Are Rebuked Again in Federal Court

A federal judge last week rejected the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) attempt to block Meta's acquisition of virtual reality (V.R.) company Within Unlimited. According to Reuters, an FTC official said the agency had not decided if it would take the case before an in-house administrative law judge. While the FTC was stymied in its efforts, it's worth examining the legal theory the FTC deployed to stop the acquisition. The FTC argued that if Meta did not purchase Within Unlimited, the tech giant might one day create its own VR product to compete with the startup. The government argued that it had a legitimate interest in fostering future competition by blocking the deal. Click ...
Seattle Crime Report: “Defund the Police” Comes Home to Roost

Without saying so out loud, the latest Crime Report published by the Seattle Police Department (SPD) reveals the natural consequences of the Marxist-backed “defund the police” initiative. Following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, Seattle suffered from Marxist thugs and revolutionaries who instigated riots, protests, and lootings. In 2021, Seattle’s City Council cut the budget of the SPD by 17 percent — one-sixth — setting in motion the inevitable rise in crime. Click for Full Text!
Biden’s SOTU: Old Wine in New Bottles

In the wake of President Biden’s second State of the Union address, most of the mainstream media’s attention, as usual, was directed at the gaffes and the drama: The President mistakenly called Senator Schumer minority leader! How dare Marjorie Taylor Greene call the president a liar! Did you see Mitt Romney and George Santos trading insults? And why did the First Lady kiss the Second Gentleman on the lips? In comparison with the usual Capitol Hill theatrics, the GOP response, delivered by Iowa governor Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, was sedate and to the point. But it was also substantially correct: Behind Biden’s bumbling, avuncular, superficially conciliatory persona, the agenda ...
Federal Appeals Court Rejects Rent Control Challenge, Says Government Has Wide Powers To Regulate Land Use

A federal appeals court has ruled that the government hasn't necessarily taken a landlord's property when it forces him or her to operate at a loss while renting to a tenant he or she never agreed to host. That's the view of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, which yesterday struck down a challenge to New York's rent stabilization law brought by two landlord associations that argued that limits on rent increases and evictions passed in 2019 were so strict, they were an effective seizure of their property.

Biden's Claims About Universal Pre-K Are Malarkey

During President Biden's State of the Union address this Tuesday, he called for expanding access to preschool for American 3- and 4-year- olds. In doing so, he made a startling claim about the effectiveness of preschool programs, stating that "children who go to preschool are nearly 50 percent more likely to finish high school and go on to earn a two- or four-year degree, no matter their background they came from." However, such dramatic evidence in favor of preschool—especially the public "universal pre-k" programs Biden has consistently advocated for— is spotty. This is particularly true when trying to give public preschool credit for positive ...
House Oversight Committee Is Fighting Twitter Censorship the Wrong Way
Post Date: 2023-02-08 22:11:20 by Charles_Byrd

The House Oversight Committee held a hearing Wednesday with the purpose of "Protecting Speech from Government Interference and Social Media Bias." Given the disturbing and unprecedented steps taken by federal agencies like the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control to limit free expression on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites, this would appear to be a legitimate subject for government oversight. Unfortunately, the approach taken by the Republican House majority—haul tech executives before Congress and attack them for being the victims of government pressure—is both counterproductive to the goal of defending free speech online, as well as a galling ...

The global super-rich love to warn us about climate change. They love to preach about all the things we’ll need to give up and all the sacrifices we should make. But they also love to travel in private jets and live in lavish mansions by the sea. They emit orders of magnitude more CO2 than the average person. So what explains this mismatch? Is there more to it than just hypocrisy? Click for Full Text!

The officer who pulled Tyre Nichols from his car before police fatally beat him never explained why he was being stopped, newly released documents show, and emerging reports from Memphis residents suggest that was common. The Memphis Police Department blasted Demetrius Haley and four other officers as “blatantly unprofessional” and asked that they be stripped of the ability to work as police for their role in the Jan. 7 beating, according to documents released Tuesday by the Tennessee Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission.

Will the Russia-Ukraine struggle escalate and lead to a third world war? Most national leaders say it won’t. But other nations, including the United States, continue supplying weaponry to Ukraine. While most watchers of world affairs express worries about such aid from a supposed noncombatant, President Joe Biden and most U.S. civilian leaders have repeatedly stated that the U.S. favoritism to Ukraine will not lead to a world conflagration. But on January 27, 2023, four-star General Mike Minihan, the leader of our nation’s Air Mobility Command, sent a memo to the forces under his leadership that began with his wish — “I hope I am wrong.” The general continued, ...

Crisis Pregnancy Centers Labeled 'Anti-abortion' by AP

The Associated Press issued new guidelines advising its reporters not to use the terms "crisis pregnancy center" or "pregnancy resource center" but to refer to centers that offer pro-life counseling and support as "anti- abortion." Reporters should "avoid potentially misleading terms such as pregnancy resource centers or pregnancy counseling centers," because "these terms don't convey that the centers' general aim is to prevent abortions," according to the AP's Abortion Topical Guide.

Disney’s government in Florida has been the envy of any private business, with its unprecedented powers in deciding what to build and how to build it at the Walt Disney World Resort, issuing bonds and holding the ability to build its own nuclear plant if it wanted. Those days are numbered as a new bill released this week puts the entertainment giant’s district firmly in the control of Florida’s governor and legislative leaders in what some see as punishment for Disney's opposition to the parental education rights law championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-controlled Legislature. Read Newsmax: Disney May Lose Control of Its Kingdom With Florida ...

After the 2014 police killing of Laquan McDonald, Chicago officials appointed a commission to study policing in the city. When the commission issued its report two years later, Steve Bogira of the Chicago Reader noticed that the report bore striking similarities to a report issued after the death of Daniel Claiborne, a 70-year-old Black man, also at the hands of police. Both reports, Bogira noted, found that residents in the city’s minority neighborhoods were frequently subjected to illegal stop and frisks. Both found that Black and Latino residents reported frequent verbal harassment and humiliation from police. Both reports found that police misconduct complaints were almost never ...

The United States’ recent promise to ship advanced M1 Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine was a swift response to a serious problem. The problem is that Ukraine is losing the war. Not, as far as we can tell, because its soldiers are fighting poorly or its people have lost heart, but because the war has settled into a World War I-style battle of attrition, complete with carefully dug trenches and relatively stable fronts. Such wars tend to be won — as indeed World War I was — by the side with the demographic and industrial resources to hold out longest. Russia has more than three times Ukraine’s population, an intact economy and superior military technology. At the same time, ...

Democrats and neocons proclaim that Russia represents the primary geopolitical threat to American interests. They are wrong. In fact, it is China that has demonstrated its blatant willingness to manipulate the American psyche through the direct intervention of the American media. Much of their power is exerted in the shadows, through subversion and infiltration. Still, they are also mastering the art of lawfare and the use of frivolous legal threats to enact their agenda of silencing opponents and quashing harmful information. Click for Full Text!

Mac Isaac also told Newsmax's "National Report" that he remembers when Hunter Biden brought in his laptop and finds it hard to believe that the president's son doesn't remember it.

Remember back when students could be recognized for being the best at something, whether it happened to be academics or athletics? On these special occasions, you might have dared to acknowledge such achievement at an all-school assembly, or at the very least inform parents of their student’s success. Those days are gone in the Old Dominion. Instead, recognition of individual high achievement has been replaced by a “participation trophy for all” subculture, where equity reigns supreme.

The individuals who founded and lead the organization — new age gurus, neuroscientists, communists, and population- control zealots — also ...
Ukraine: The War That Went Wrong

Empires in terminal decline leap from one military fiasco to the next. The war in Ukraine, another bungled attempt to reassert U.S. global hegemony, fits this pattern. The danger is that the more dire things look, the more the U.S. will escalate the conflict, potentially provoking open confrontation with Russia. If Russia carries out retaliatory attacks on supply and training bases in neighboring NATO countries, or uses tactical nuclear weapons, NATO will almost certainly respond by attacking Russian forces. We will have ignited World War III, which could result in a nuclear holocaust. U.S. military support for Ukraine began with the basics — ammunition and assault weapons. The Biden ...

The Bureau of Labor Statistic (BLS) released new jobs data on Friday. According to the report, seasonally adjusted total nonfarm jobs rose 517,000 jobs, which was well above expectations. The words used by the media to describe the report included “stunner” and “wow.” President Joe Biden claimed the number proves his administration has delivered economic prosperity. The administration has also noted that in the official numbers, the unemployment rate is at a multidecade low. This, Biden and his supporters insist, proves the economy is remarkably strong. There are at least a few things going on that are problematic for this narrative, however. For one, the Fed is ...

Electric cars have always been more expensive to buy than the gasoline- powered cars normal people buy — that’s why electric buyers can also harvest taxpayer subsidies — but that initial price was supposed to be offset by much lower operating cost. Why charging an electric vehicle (EV) is no more expensive than running 10 or 15 hair dryers! Click for Full Text!
Prohibiting Guns for Marijuana Users Ruled Unconstitutional

A federal district judge in Oklahoma ruled Friday that a federal law prohibiting people who use marijuana from owning firearms is unconstitutional, citing a recent U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling that significantly expanded gun rights. This is the latest challenge to firearms regulations since the conservative-majority SCOTUS set new standards last year for interpreting the Second Amendment. In United States of America v. Jared Michael Harrison, defense attorneys argued that Harrison’s Second Amendment rights were being violated by the Gun Control Act, which makes it illegal for anyone “who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance” to possess ...
