FEC Dems lay groundwork to ban Fox, WSJ political coverage

by Paul Bedard

In their biggest threat yet to conservative media, Democrats on the Federal Election Commission are laying the groundwork to bar companies with even the tiniest foreign ownership from American politics, a move that could ban Fox, the Wall Street Journal and even the New York Times from covering political races or giving endorsements.

In a last-minute submission Wednesday, a top Democrat on the evenly split FEC proposed that the Thursday meeting of the commission begin the process to prohibit companies with foreign ownership as small as 5 percent “from funding expenditures, independent expenditures, or electioneering communications.”

Democratic Commissioner Ellen Weintraub

Stop right there. Note: “Democratic Commissioner Ellen Weintraub.”

said in her submission, “Given everything we have learned this year, it blinks reality to suggest that that there is no risk of foreign nationals taking advantage of current loopholes to intercede invisibly in American elections. This is a risk no member of the Federal Election Commission should be willing to tolerate.”

Under Weintraub’s proposal, entities that reach her foreign ownership target would conceivably be banned from advocating for a candidate’s election or defeat.

Right. It’s okay if we sell most anything to foreign nationals but the precious press — it must be protected so that it may continue to be the pure, unvarnished and unbiased agent for the Left that it was and is. The Leftist bent of the American Media Maggots cannot be diverted for any reason. So, we’ll simply make up as much specious shite as possible since we already recognize the internet has been compromised.

Several media giants have at least 5 percent foreign ownership, some with as much as 25 percent. Included is News Corp, which owns Fox, the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal. The New York Times also has foreign ownership, as do many politically active firms like Ben & Jerry’s.

Oh no. American ice cream has been tainted by foreign ownership.

That prohibition could include Fox commentator Sean Hannity or Wall Street Journal editorials. And, according to one analysis, because foreign nationals also are prohibited from making electioneering communications, those media would not even be able to mention Donald Trump or Hillary Rodham Clinton, even if just covering them.

Democrats on the commission have been on a three-year campaign to limit the voice of conservative media, stopped by Republican commissioners who have warned that the First Amendment is under attack in the FEC.

Let us not forget that roughly two months ago the DNC was hacked and America learned the DNC was helping CBS to create the poll questions in a bias of clear and obvious proportions.

No. I’m not making this up.

Leftists, Demorats and Progressives really do wish to silence you — unless your speech, writings, opinions and thoughts are completely congruent with theirs. They will brook no opposition, no pushback, not even discussion.

The First Amendment is being attacked, openly, nakedly, right in front of our eyes, hiding in plain sight, because — guess who? — isn’t covering much of it at all.

This is orchestrated, this is purposeful, this is organized, this is an assault on your freedoms and my freedoms. Just wait a few minutes; the FCC will be piling on any moment now in the same manner.

America, are you listening? Are you seeing? Are you comprehending?

I fear you are asleep.

States’ suit in re ICANN: shot DOWN by OBAMA federal judge

Posted on by

free-speech-eliminatedA federal US District Court judge in the Southern District of Texas — nominated by Barack Hussein Obama on January 7th of 2015 — has denied an emergency request by Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada to stay the relinquishment of ICANN control from the US to a globalist body.

Transfer now occurs at midnight.

From UPI.com:

Judge rejects plea from states to stop U.S. from giving up control of Internet

by Allen Cone and Doug G. Ware

GALVESTON, Texas, Sept. 30 (UPI) — A federal judge on Friday rejected a last-ditch effort by four states to stop the U.S. government from handing over control of the Internet to an international body when the calendar turns to Saturday.

Judge George Hanks, Jr., of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas denied an emergency request by the states — Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada — for a temporary restraining order to interrupt the handover, which was scheduled for midnight Friday.

Attorneys general from the states filed the lawsuit Wednesday.

And there you have it. Your First Amendment protections on the internet surrendered not with a bang, but with a whimper.

The lawsuit argued that the states “will lose the predictability, certainty, and protections that currently flow from federal stewardship of the Internet and instead be subjected to ICANN’s unchecked control.”

The suit says Obama’s plan to hand over control of the Internet is an illegal transfer of U.S. government property and that it requires congressional approval.

Your grand and glorious Congress had its chance to intervene but decided — meh — not to.

No one forced us to do this. The United States was not under pressure to do so. The US was not sued in some globalist court in order to acquire this result.

It was the decision of one man.

Judge Hanks, however, ruled Friday that the plaintiffs failed to prove that irreparable harm would result from the handover and denied the injunction — clearing the way for the transfer to occur at midnight Friday.

And transfer it will.

Leftists: dissension must be ELIMINATED

Posted on by

Leftists DON'T ALLOW DISSENSIONFirst on the agenda: the Drudge Report (though it’s nothing more than an aggregator) and Fox News.  Then the entire internet.

EXAMPLE ONE:

First, from the WashingtonExaminer.com:

Fox targeted by FEC Dems in first-ever vote to punish debate sponsorship

by Paul Bedard

Finally making good on long-harbored anger at conservative media, Democrats on the Federal Election Commission voted in secret to punish Fox News’ sponsorship of a Republican presidential debate, using an obscure law to charge the network with helping those on stage.

STOP.  Read that first sentence again: “Finally making good on LONG-HARBORED ANGER at CONSERVATIVE media, DEMOCRATS on the Federal Election Commission voted in SECRET to PUNISH Fox News’ sponsorship of a Republican presidential debate, USING AN OBSCURE LAW to charge the network with helping those on stage.”

Would that not be unlike Lois Lerner and the IRS who complained bitterly that no such thing was done until finally the IRS admitted that precisely that thing was done?

It is the first time in history that members of the FEC voted to punish a media outlet’s debate sponsorship, and it follows several years of Democratic threats against conservative media and websites like the Drudge Report.

The punishment, however, was blocked by all three Republicans on the commission, resulting in a 3-3 tie vote and no action. The vote was posted Thursday and is here.

Imagine the results had Demorats simply owned that board, as Demorats own the state of California on most every level?

It seems that CNN sponsored quite a number of Democrat debates.  CNN sponsored four Democrat debates, of the ten documented — that’s almost half.  The GOP had twelve debates, six of which were sponsored by Fox.  That also is half.  Any issue with the FEC?

Here’s the obvious kicker:

CNN did the same thing, but there is no indication that they faced a complaint.

Do not think that the Demorats and Leftists are content to stop there.  They absolutely, incontrovertibly, wish to control the entire internet and all its content — particularly if that content is right-leaning in nature.

EXAMPLE TWO:

Also from the WashingtonExaminer.com:

Federal regulation of Internet coming, warn FCC, FEC commissioners

by Paul Bedard

Democrats targeting content and control of the Internet, especially from conservative sources, are pushing hard to layer on new regulations and even censorship under the guise of promoting diversity while policing bullying, warn commissioners from the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission.

“Protecting freedom on the Internet is just one vote away,” said Lee E. Goodman, a commissioner on the FEC which is divided three Democrats to three Republicans. “There is a cloud over your free speech.”

What is diversity?  In the eyes of Leftists, it is a One World Barbeque — that is, all persons saying, writing and thinking the same: a Leftist fashion.  Dissension cannot be tolerated.  What the FEC and Leftists and Demorats want is the same freedom of speech one now customarily finds on college campuses in America today; that is, little to none.

BZ License To BlogIn this vein I wrote, many years ago in 2010, that I could foresee the time where I as a blogger would require a literal license to blog.  To express my opinions and feelings.

Freedom of speech on the Internet, added Ajit Pai, commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, “is increasingly under threat.”

Pai and Goodman cited political correctness campaigns by Democrats as a threat. Both also said their agencies are becoming politicized and the liberals are using their power to push regulations that impact business and conservative outlets and voices.

Of course it’s under threat.  Leftists and Demorat want absolute control of speech as well as most every other aspect of your life.  With a SCOTUS that leans far left as would occur under the lying and brazenly-corrupt Hillary Clinton, you can quite certainly wave good-bye to your Bill of Rights, with the Second and First Amendments primarily in their PC sights.

“One of the things that is critical for this country is to reassert the value of the First Amendment, the fact that robust discourse, that is sometimes cacophonous, is nonetheless a value, in fact it creates value,” said Pai.

But wait; perhaps you thought I was kidding with the whole “my blog will be involved as will yours” thingie?  Read on.

At a CATO Institute discussion on online speech Wednesday night, both said that regulators are eager to issue new rules that could put limits on what people could say on blogs, online news and even YouTube. Washington Examiner reporter Rudy Takala and Cato’s digital manager Kat Murti were also on the panel.

There it is in black and white.  Do not for a moment believe that, somehow, miraculously, you will remain unaffected — particularly if you are a Conservative.  Or a Libertarian for that matter — John Stossel, I’m looking at you, sir.

Pai, addressing Goodman, added, “The common thread of our experiences I think is this impulse of control, whether it’s the FCC and the impulse of the government to want to control how these networks operate, and the FEC to control the content of the traffic that traverses over those networks, and I think that certainly highlights the importance of the First Amendment.”

Goodman concluded, “We need to be ever mindful and vigilant not to let governmental agencies through 3-2 votes, or 4-2 votes at the FEC take that away from us.”

Let there be no mistake.  Leftists and Demorats want control of our lives, complete and utter control of what we do, what we eat, where we live, how we live our lives and ultimately what we write, say and even think.

Leftists and Demorats would truly be pleased with a 1984 environment.

1984 - Big BrotherI can see an upheaval coming, ladies and gentlemen, if Demorats and Leftists keep removing our rights and our freedoms.

Leftists riot in Burlingame over Trump

Posted on by

At the California GOP Convention in Burlingame.

Mexico Wants US AgainWhat Mexican Leftists want, paraded in front of Mexican flag in Burlingame.

And all of it FUNDED by GEORGE SOROS.

None of this was spontaneous.  It was well funded and well planned.

The American people have grown fat, lazy and stupid.  They don’t care about freedom any more, they don’t care about privacy, they don’t care about responsibility or accountability.  All they care about is Free Cheese and what the government can do for them.   People today cannot handle real, actual, freedom.  And they don’t want to be responsible.  Americans aren’t smart enough to realize this because they have been brainwashed by “educators” and the American Media Maggots.  Patriotism is now “jingoism.”  Independence is considered vulgar and anathema.

But Burlingame wasn’t just a simple protest.  It was a riot and an assault on the First Amendment.

Leftists couldn’t give a fuck about the First Amendment, as witnessed by our pussified willting sensitive little Millennial flowers in universities across the nation.

Look.  Let’s get something straight up front.  I don’t like Donald Trump.  He’s not “my guy.”  I advocate and have contributed to Ted Cruz, who is an actual Conservative and has fought in our Supreme Court for conservative values, including gun rights and a refusal to accept amnesty for illegal aliens.  When John Boehner called Ted Cruz “Lucifer” I took that as a feather in the cap of Cruz.  Because John Boehner is a simpering, tearful fuckwit whose over-bronzed persona found little fault in most everything the Demorats proposed.  He frequently did his level best to suck Barack Hussein Obama’s political cock.  Anyone who is an enemy of John Boehner is a friend of mine.

When Republicans bent, America broke.  And America is broken.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a Johnny-Come-Lately and a self-serving individual whose philosophies change with his personal self interests.  He cannot provide serious details about his positions and wishes to actually expand government and increase taxes.

I know where he came from.  I know why he emerged.  The GOP let everyone down time after time after time.  People got tired of the GOP and Trump resonated because he said, initially, what many people themselves were thinking and feeling.

That said, he’s not my guy.  He’s too coarse and unspecific for me.  He is too unfamiliar with vastly important topics critical in today’s global scheme.

Fine.  He is still resonating with Americans and he appears to be chosen by quite a number of Americans.  Therefore, he is deserving of his own freedoms.  The freedom to make speeches, the freedom to appear at various locales, the freedom to not have his thoughts and expressions suppressed.

Trump Protest Burlingame

Trump protest Burlingame. Mexican flags predominate. La Raza’s reconquista.

George Soros, the Leftist billionaire, doesn’t believe in America.  He doesn’t believe in our Founding Fathers, he doesn’t believe in the US Constitution, he doesn’t believe in our Bill of Rights.  This doddering Greek motherfucker believes in turning America into Europe.

But what is revealed is even more foundational.  Yes, this is a rally — a riot, really — against Donald Trump.  But at its core this is an anti-American spasm.  Rioters burned the American flag and held the Mexican flag up high.

This is what Trump supporters had to endure just to get inside the convention.

This is what occurred to another person who simply wanted to attend the convention.

Sacramento’s very own Leftist Maile Hampton, a wonderful Islamist, led the flag burning in Burlingame.

Leftists cannot stomach opposition.  They cannot stomach mere protests.  Now it must be violent.

Stationed at the California GOP convention outside the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in Burlingame, reporters documented the moment angry demonstrators set Old Glory ablaze while labeling it a symbol of “genocide.”

“Fuck colonialism, fuck genocide, fuck slavery. That’s what the American flag stands for,” yelled a woman with a bullhorn. “We don’t stand for that shit.”

Free Tit LeftistsThe wacky Free Tit Leftists had to weigh in as well.

Good to know that Mexicans couldn’t care less for American laws.

A few words to that Mexican cunt.  First, I thank you.  I thank you for your clarity and your honesty.  You’ve outed yourself and your other “reconquista” La Raza adherents as the baldly-naked racists you are.  La Raza means “the race.”  Not just any race.  The race.

I guess I need to go “bottom line.”

The bottom line is this.

If Trump is the Republican nominee, I will vote for Donald John Trump.

Because that is how much I hate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And fuckwit Leftists.

Bill Maher: correct about Islam

Posted on by

Bill Maher On Islam 2Bill Maher, despite his Lefty way, is correct about one thing: Islam.

He believes that Islam is a threat to the civilized world.

From Breitbart.com:

Maher: The More You Know About Islam, The More Afraid Of It You Are, Intolerant Christians ‘Really Aren’t a Problem’

by Ian Hanchett

HBO host Bill Maher argued that it isn’t true that people wouldn’t be as afraid of Islam if they knew more about it, “Actually, it’s the reverse” and that he wished liberals would “have the same enthusiasm for intolerance elsewhere in the world as they do for Christians here at home, who really aren’t a problem, because they don’t get really get their way” on Friday’s “Real Time.”

Maher, after referencing the covering up of nude statues in Italy during a visit by Iran’s president said, “I think people are mixing up two things, tolerance and capitulation.” He added, “It’s one thing to be tolerant of another culture, but this is our culture. You know, Christianity did have a problem with t*tties like in 1300, but we got over it. So, we shouldn’t change our culture to a more backward culture, should we?”

“I think people are mixing up two things: tolerance and capitulation.”

Maher added, “I think liberals have to stop insisting that the world is the way they want to it be instead of the way it is.”

Holy Mother of God, Maher just had an epiphany.  He used words directly from the notebook of Captain Obvious.  Words I’ve been writing, literally, for years about Leftists.

Bad out of my mouth, somehow acceptable out of his.

He (Maher) then pointed to folk singer James Twyman’s efforts to do a concert in ISIS-controlled territory to hopefully stop ISIS’ violence. Maher then argued, “[Y]ou cannot just insist that the reality that you think about in your head is the reality that exists in the world. After the San Bernardino attacks, we were off the next week, but I heard all over TV, this — everybody was saying, ‘If only Americans knew more about Islam, they wouldn’t be so afraid.’ Actually, it’s the reverse.”

It IS the reverse.  If Americans knew more about Islam — actually read the Koran, the Hadith, the surahs, — Americans would realize what Islam says is what Islam means.

My quote: “Islam is as Islam does.”

Maher finishes:

“I just hope that the civics guidebook in Sweden is more persuasive than the Koran, but I doubt it is.”

There is actually a difference between Leftists, as wacky as they are.

At least Bill Maher doesn’t advocate the silencing of those to don’t believe in his philosophies, unlike many professors in various “advanced” US educational institutions.

Such as Melissa Click, a professor who “wanted some muscle” to her location so she could keep a student photographer from documenting a college protest.  Click has since had third degree assault charges filed against her and been suspended from the University of Missouri.

I very seldom watch him, but I support Maher’s right to say what he wishes.  I draw the line at the bulk of collegiate Leftists and students who want to entirely stave off any discussion in the slightest conflict with their beliefs. They can’t countenance dissent.  Their upbringing, coddling and fragile little egos keep getting in the way.  They are frothing over with unwarranted and inflated self esteem.

Bill Maher Let Him Speak

At least Maher believes in free speech.
