Plan to split California into six states closer to vote

The Democrats will not like this at all, and count on the Obama Administration to resist it.

 

USA Today   "A plan to divide California into six states is one step closer to a vote.

"Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper got the go-ahead this week to collect signatures for his "Six Californias" plan, according to the California Secretary of State's Office.

"Draper needs more than 807,000 signatures of registered voters by July 18 to get his proposal on the November ballot.

" With 38 million people, California is too big and diverse to properly represent all of its residents, according to Draper's plan.

" 'Vast parts of our state are poorly served by a representative government dominated by a large number of elected representatives from a small part of our state, both geographically and economically," the plan says.

With the current structure, California is "ungovernable," Draper told USA TODAY Network."

FCC backs away from First Amendment-trashing survey

Thomas Lifson   "As public outrage has built over an FCC plan to put monitors (or as Greta Van Susteren calls them, "spies") into newsrooms and ask questions about philosophy, news judgments, and fulfillment of what the government thinks are "critical information needs," the FCC has backed away. In an official statement from FCC Spokesperson Shannon Gilson full of mealy-mouthed self-justification: "....  Read more:

....
Commissioner Ajit Pai, the hero of the story who blew the whistle on the Constitution-shredding venture with a Wall Street Journal op-ed, issued this statement: I welcome today's announcement that the FCC has suspended its "Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs," or CIN study. This study would have thrust the federal
government into newsrooms across the country, somewhere it just doesn't belong. The Commission has now recognized that no study by the federal government, now or in the future, should involve asking questions to media owners, news directors, or reporters about their practices. This is an important victory for the First Amendment. And it would not have been possible without the American people making their voices heard. I will remain vigilant that any future initiatives not infringe on our constitutional freedoms.

Government newsroom police in America: Is George Soros behind it?

Joseph Farah   "How rotten is the moral soul of journalism in America today?

"It is so decayed, putrefied and morbidly disordered that there has been less than a whisper of concern expressed by the entire establishment media over the Orwellian plot by the Federal Communications Commission to place “researchers” in U.S. newsrooms to learn how editorial decisions are made.

 

"No concern.

...

"Forgive me as a 35-year veteran of American newsrooms if I toss my cookies over this breach of the sanctity of the free press.

 

"The very idea of journalists welcoming government bureaucrats into their newsrooms to spy is so outrageous it leaves me speechless. No so the overwhelming number of reporters, editors, producers and news executives who remain a part of what is rapidly becoming, as Rush Limbaugh caricatures it, “the state-run media.' ”

 

Media Silence Explained?: Soros Fingerprints On FCC Newsroom Probe

... "The media's hands-off policy with Soros is nothing new. While outlets such as Politico and NBC News obsess over every move made by the libertarian Koch brothers, Soros and his spider-web of influential left-wing political operations (Media Matters, Center for American Progress) almost never receive any kind of media scrutiny. A recent media study found that the ratio of references between Kochs' organizations and Soros' organizations, in news outlets that pose as objective, are literally hundreds to one. Politico actually has Ken Vogel, a former Soros employee, constantly harassing covering the Koch brothers."

....

"What might explain the media's silence is the looming specter of George Soros. History already proves the media has been reluctant to cross him. Apparently, even the idea of Soviet-style monitors looking over their shoulder couldn’t change that. CNS News helps to explain why:" ....

Charles Krauthammer Destroys Global Warming Myths in 89 Seconds

 Heritage

 

On Fox News Special Report Friday, "columnist Charles Krauthammer questioned the “settled science” of global warming — an issue that is currently driving the President’s agenda.

 

"In a clip discovered by The Daily Caller, Krauthammer rails against the notion of “settled science,” noting that Isaac Newton’s laws were settled for 200 years before Albert Einstein turned them over.

 

"Speaking about the economic effects of climate change, Krauthammer noted that “all of this is driven by this ideology, which in it of itself is a matter of almost theology.' ”

The Strange Effects Of The Health Insurance 'Annual Fee' Tax

Forbes  "The ACA’s individual tax penalty for not having health insurance is widely known. What is less well-known is that the ACA also imposed a tax that will fall on those who do buy health insurance. Recently, I examined this tax with an eye toward estimating how much this tax would increase average premiums. (The full report is here; a summary by Philip Klein of the Washington Examiner is here.)

....

"However, people who get their health insurance through an employer that does not self-insure will face the full burden of the tax, as will people who get coverage through the exchanges but are not eligible for subsidies. This isn’t just people with incomes too high to qualify for subsidies – it also includes people whose employers offer coverage to employees but not their families."

 

‘Communists!’ Howard Stern vows never to vote Dem again, even ‘if God becomes a Democrat’

BizPac Review  ... "He described a phone conversation he’d had with his agent earlier on his Friday show to sidekick Robin Quivers.

“ 'I go, ‘That’s it!’” Stern said. “[I] go, ‘You know what Don, I’ve voted Republican and I’ve voted Democrat. I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again. I don’t give a [expletive] – no matter who they are. I don’t care if God becomes a Democrat.’ I said, ‘I backed Hillary Clinton, I backed Al Gore, I backed John Kerry. I am done with them.’”
