[Lamestream's cynical silence on the publicly proclaimed and peddled influence of the Mexican government and its US agents – La Raza and MALDEF - of the 2016 election is deafening.  And, believe it or not, there are still lefties galore who think it that Russia's unidentified influence should be our real focus on foreign intervention in our elections.  Mexico has been sponsoring the vitalization of Reconquista (q.v.) for decades.  gjr]

    Scenes 710am – Actually, Diplomad misses the boat completely. There is NOTHING new about the claimed “New Mexican War”. What Mexico is doing directly with its cross border violations, and in the US through its La Raza and MALDEF surrogates today is just a continuation of Reconquista about which much has been written here and elsewhere (and, of course, denied by our US hating Left).

    “ISPs will be able to sell your personal information to the highest bidder … and they won’t have any real obligation to keep your personal information secure, either,” Gigi Sohn, who previously served as counselor to former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler, said Monday.

    Dems finally flip a State Legislature!
    “And if President Trump’s job approval rating is still suffering by next fall (absent mitigating factors), GOP losses could be substantial. But these very early campaign results prove is that the Democratic/media narrative about a resurgent Left is at least premature, given the choices voters have made in five states.”

    Fox News printed a pretty good look what the legislation covers Here’s part of the article but it requires a thorough read’ Here’s a start:
    “The rule, adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in the waning months of the Obama administration, required telecommunications firms such as Comcast Corp. and Verizon Communications Inc. to get customers’ permission to market their app and web-browsing history to third parties. It was opposed by broadband providers, who said it could unfairly tilt the playing field in favor of internet rivals, such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google unit and Facebook Inc., which generally are regulated by another agency, the Federal Trade Commission, and face less stringent standards when it comes to consumers’ data………

    You would think that president Progressy O’Progressive….had he cared at all about the issue, along with the rest of the progressive democrat, socialist, and Green Libertarian members of congress would have taken care of this when they held the house, senate, and executive.

To my knowledge that is not the case, and I’m interested to know from where you got information that makes such disseminations legal.

    That’s not at all my scenario Fish. First of all I didn’t vote for Clinton so why should I root for her comeback? There are three possible outcomes that i see.
    First if Trump gets in trouble with the Ruskies the Repubs will gladly throw him under the bus because they never did like him and Pense would be President.
    Second he continues to sink into oblivion in public opinion and he will be avoided by all Repubs running for re-election in ’18. that means he’s dead in the water for ’20 and either won’t run or won’t be nominated.
    The other scenario is that he regains his strut and becomes a successful President. Certainly is possible but in my view unlikely because of his personality flaws and lack of experience.
    Do you see any other possible outcomes?

    You do have a choice of ISPs. Why don’t you ask your current ISP if they plan to sell your SS number or your 3rd child or whatever. Make them accountable. What about the library? Do they sell your SS number if you use their computers? I realize it’s hard to get stoned and take responsibility for your online presence. Worrying about your SS number is such a joke since the fed govt doesn’t even abide by their own laws concerning SS number usage. Besides, Michael Moore says we’re all going to die because of Trump, so it doesn’t really matter – does it?

    Who is Evelyn Farkas?
    The former Obama administration official who admitted earlier this month that her former colleagues tried to secretly gather intelligence on President Trump’s team was no low-level staffer.
    Farkas would go on to serve as a foreign policy advisor for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, telling the New Yorker earlier this month that she thought Clinton “got it” when it came to issues regarding Russia.
    On Twitter, Farkas has been tough on House Intel Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., former Trump campaign advisor Paul Manafort, and she also appears to support efforts by Senate Democrats to filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch. “Bring back filibuster 4 democracy,” Farkas wrote on March 23, the day Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) urged the rest of his colleagues to vote no on the nomination.
    She resigned in 2015. Who has she talked to since? Which media outlets? What Obama people after the election? What sources who gathered Intel on Trump’s transition team was she trying to protect? What “methods” was she trying to conceal? Bring her in and depose her. We need to know what she knows.
