[There are a couple of House bills that will break up Amazon and other big tech companies. “One of the proposed measures, titled the Ending Platform Monopolies Act, seeks to require structural separation of Amazon and other big technology companies to break up their businesses. It would make it unlawful for a covered online platform to own a business that “utilizes the covered platform for the sale or provision of products or services” or that sells services as a condition for access to the platform. The platform company also couldn’t own businesses that create conflicts of interest, such as by creating the ‘incentive and ability’ for the platform to advantage its own products over competitors.” This would change the face of online businesses; thoughts? gjr]

Of course that’s the discredited Newsmax writing that story. They had to deeply appologize to Dominion about the lies they printed on the vote counting and are paying big bucks to settle the lawsuit against them. Of course Trump, Bill and Walt still asserts Dominion altered the vote counting as part of the sstolen election they claim.
Here’s their apology and their acceptance that the election was fair and legal. This quote is directly from Newsmax:
“Newsmax subsequently found no evidence that such allegations were true. Many of the states whose results were contested by the Trump campaign after the November 2020 election have conducted extensive recounts and audits, and each of these states certified the results as legal and final,” the company said in a statement published online that will also be broadcast’

PaulE asks, “When was America great?” For leftwingers that is a gotcha question, because for any cited period one can always dredge up the country’s warts du jour. And the leftwinger’s response is, ‘So then, you want us to go back to when we had/did/… (fill in the bad behavior)?’ For the anti-American, the worst of any period defined the country overall; no mitigating or ameliorating attributes need ever be considered. And most certainly no proportional assessments of good vs bad are allowed.
Of the many characteristics of greatness, my answer for America’s greatness would be measured by the number of people from around the world who wanted to immigrate here. That could be normalized to the then current population level. Therefore, a measure of relative greatness (i.e. the preferred place people wanted to live) would be a nation’s ‘immigration fraction’ – the higher the better when compared to other countries. The Rebanes arrived during one of those periods of greatness that was post-war America – say, 1945-1965.

Another time and place might be the last days of the move westward. The closing of the frontier began a new and arguably lesser epoch.
Yet another phase change might be the time before and after the dominance of self-employment, most notably of individual family farms.
In an era of internet surveillance marketing, bar musician policy experts, and non-profit ‘business’ councils, I’m not sure how we can dig ourselves out. Elon’s move to Mars has a certain validity.

THE KAMALA KONUNDRUM
By now it is clear that Kamala Harris has had the worst week for a Vice President since Dan Quayle misspelled “potato” and attacked Murphy Brown almost 30 years ago. There are news reports, no doubt aided and abetted by some cagey White House staff, that the White House is “troubled” or even “dismayed” by her poor performance. I’m guessing a lot of Biden’s long-time loyal staff have discovered the unappealing and imperious side of Harris that has been well-known in California for years, reminding me of the line Reaganites used to take about Richard Darman: “Why do people take an instant dislike to Darman? Answer: Saves time.”

A bit dated in our instant news cycle. From way back to last week:
‘Fibbing Fauci Shows He’s Just Another Crisis-Loving Intellectual’
“The list of questionable things in Fauci’s emails could go on and one could wonder why Fauci was in contact with tech giant Mark Zuckerberg and billionaire Bill Gates, or why he was willing to cooperate with those who wanted to make a movie about him while this crisis was unfolding. But let’s stop for a moment and just consider the few examples of doublespeak detailed above. Why would Fauci engage in such behavior? Why would he put so many innocent Americans through lockdowns and mandates which had little to no bearing on combatting the disease? Why would he hide important facts while seeking his own glory?
Fauci’s doublespeak behavior should not surprise us. To borrow from the words of Robert Nisbet in Twilight of Authority, Fauci’s actions are simply another example of “the fondness of intellectuals for crisis which can be seen recurrently throughout Western history.” It’s all about a love of power, Nisbet says:“

George, for once I agree with you. that was a very good 20 years for this country. 1945-1965 started with with a good solid economy after 12 years of Democratic Presidencies with Roosevelt and Truman and mostly Democratic control of thru 1965 Congress with four years split. Republican Eisenhower served from ’53 till ’61 when Kennedy and then Johnson, both Dems rounded out the 20 years. Eisenhower is remembered for his final address to the nation where he warned the nation with regard to the corrupting influence of what he describes as the “military-industrial complex”. Also he continued New Deal programs and expanded Social Security. During his tenure we had the highest percentage of Union membership in our history during his administration.
Nixon followed Johnson and that was the end of it for greatness.
As a kid in the 50’s my impression of Ike was that he was a kind and intelligent man. You have to wonder what kids though of Trump during his mercifully short tenure.

Don’t forget Barrack Hussein Obama! CA signed the deal with the Feds. The phase one said CA. Would have to have 119 miles of track laid by Jan 1, 2017….or pay the 5 billion back. No problem. The Brown Streak choose the easiest route going down through the Central Valley. As the that completion phase deadline approached, Obama at the tenth (or eleventh hour) extended the deadline on midnight, Dec 31, 2016. His going away gift to CA and the CA taxpayers who voted for the 9 Billion dollar high speed train.
I forget how long that first phase was been extended to. 2022, 2023? Well, the land on that stretch has not been secured yet and in Fresno or Modesto they had to MOVE two lanes of the freeway to make room for the now Low Speed Rail and came up with a plan to run the Streak east on a detour from Buttonwillow (rail route) to Bakersfield to squeeze in 20 more miles to get to 120 or 119 miles laid. The Low Speed rail cannot ever go 200 miles an hour because the maintenance costs alone of wear and tear on the wheels and track would make it cost prohibited and never ever pay for itself as presented to the voters.
The whole track has to be laid by 2026 (?) with rail cars, but does not need to carry a single passenger until 2028. Thank you Obama, thank you Stink Finger Uncle Joe. Besides, our integrity-less Gov Gavin has already said CA will never pay that 5 Billion back, even though that was the contract signed by all parties and agreed to in good faith, lol
I grew up with a kid that turned out to be a lawyer for a prestigious law firm named after his father. When I once ran into him later in life and solicited so free legal advise and told him the pack of lies the opposing attorneys wrote, he laughed and said with a big grin, “What, would a lawyer lie?”. Oh, he thought that was funny….my naivety and all. Would a lawyer lie?, lol.
He finished the conversation with another quip: “Contracts are made to be broken.” What a wet behind the ears greenhorn I was. BTY, his advise was impeccable. Matter was dropped after one phone call, threatening the opposing attorney with the words he told me to say. Free advice! Later I was contacted by some office of the CA Supreme Court investigative division and helped get that lawyer disbarred….but they did not really need my help. He did it to himself. So, I take no credit.
Contracts where made to be broken. And I have gone my whole life doing business on a handshake. Those days are long gone. Today, a man is promoted for not being as good as his word.
Only 9 billion, suckers.

“This decline in real earnings occurred even though average hourly earnings increased as employers scrambled to fill open positions. What happened was that these wage gains were more than offset by the increase of 0.6 percent in the Consumer Price Index. So Americans were paid more but those gains were swamped by inflation.
Average weekly real earnings fell as well, dropping to $334.09 from $335.60, even though there was no change in the average hours worked.
The wage decline was even more pronounced for workers the government describes as “production and nonsupervisory employees”—in other words, not the bosses. These workers saw a 0.2 percent decline in May because their 0.4 percent wage increase was overwhelmed by the rise in prices.”

EPA Administrator Michael Regan announced Wednesday that his agency will formally repeal the 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule, which removed federal pollution oversight from tributaries of iconic waterways and broad swaths of the arid West. EPA will then begin crafting its own, more expansive definition of waterways subject to federal water protections.”

Yes Emery, try floating a boat on a mud puddle. Yet your kind call it navigable waters.
You see value in the the most stupid things.

We need a full accounting of the Trump DOJ’s abuse of power targeting Congress and the press.
An IG investigation is just the start.
The full range of the misconduct must be examined, including Barr’s efforts to protect those who lied to cover up, and go after Trump’s enemies.

How come no Republicans have said they’re troubled by these reports that Trump’s Justice Department secretly obtained the personal data of Trump’s media & congressional critics? Isn’t this the “deep state” stuff they’re always wailing about?

We get more proof every day that Donald Trump weaponized the Department of Justice against his political enemies. This abuse of power is so dangerous and corrosive to our democracy. It undermines the rule of law and it can never happen again.

Paul Emery 1:58 – re the new EPA rule – “EPA will then begin crafting its own, more expansive definition of waterways subject to federal water protections.”
What actual harm was done to any river because of the Trump regulation?
Paul Emery – “duh, I don’t know.”
Everyone remember Paul’s deeply, deeply, held desire for ‘local control’?
The man’s moral compass has no ability to find a true heading of any sort.
His only guiding principles are a moistened finger in the political wind and a mindless following of whatever the lefty press tells him is good.

SHHH! NO ONE MENTION HUNTER!
Clay Travis asks an excellent question:
“The New York Times wrote a front page article on a teenage girl, a 15 year old, who lost her ability to attend the University of Tennessee for doing what Hunter Biden did. Yet the NYT isn’t covering Hunter Biden at all. How can that be remotely justified?”
Clay Davis @ clay davis
Actually, that question is easily answered. The New York Times is not a news organization, it is an arm of the Democratic Party. As such, its mission is to protect and defend the Biden administration. It has its hands full trying not mention that Joe Biden is non compos mentis, and that things generally have gone to Hell in a handbasket since he took office. With remarkable speed, if you think about it.
So Hunter Biden is strictly off limits. Whom will the Times destroy, a random 15-year-old girl, or Joe Biden’s rich, 51-year-old, depraved, racist, drug-addled, corrupt son? The question answers itself. It’s good to be a Democrat!
