Facebook wants FTC chair Lina Khan to recuse herself from antitrust case

14th July 2021

Read it.

Facebook lawyers have filed a petition for recusal to the FTC, asking for chair Lina Khan to not be involved in discussions about pursuing an antitrust case against the social media giant.

New Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan has already faced a recusal petition following the reported start of an antitrust investigation into Amazon’s buying MGM. Now Facebook’s lawyers have done the same as Amazon’s, arguing that Khan’s previous criticisms of the company mean its case cannot receive fair consideration.

According to the Financial Times, in almost 8,000 words, Facebook cites multiple instances of Khan’s comments or actions which it maintains mean she should not be involved in a case.

The Biden administration has engaged in appointing unprecedented numbers of activists to regulate companies that they have spent years hating on.

Unmasked Texas Dems Defy Biden

13th July 2021

Read it.

A publicity stunt could cost Texas Democrats up to $1.75 million after lawmakers went maskless on their privately chartered planes to Washington, D.C., violating Biden administration regulations on air travel.

More than 50 state legislators chartered private flights on Monday in an attempt to prevent the Republican-led legislature from passing a number of election- and gun-related bills. The group posted a photo aboard an airplane showing that at least 18 participants on one flight shunned masks, a violation that carries fines up to $35,000 per offense and potential criminal penalties, should federal officials take action.

Which they won’t. Prediction: Nobody will get fired. Nobody will go to jail. Rules don’t apply to Cloud People; only to Dirt People.

The violation of federal law constitutes the latest legal woes for the Texas Democrats after the state’s governor, Republican Greg Abbott, said he would order the arrest of the legislators when they return home.

Legal woes are legal woes only when the people who are supposed to enforce the law actually enforce the law. Prediction: Nothing will be done. The Crust takes care of its own.

UK: Farming & Government Net Zero

12th July 2021

Read it.

The problem with being rural is that government and a major part of the population aren’t rural and in some cases haven’t got a clue what is going on. To put this in perspective somebody mentioned to me four issues those in authority hold against rural dwellers. They feel that these things are standing in the way of us reaching net zero. We are, ‘car dependent, have low density housing and are hooked on oil burning, and then there is intensive agriculture.’ To be fair it isn’t merely government, the entire political class and a lot of quangos and pressure groups are trapped in the same mindset.

We have the same problem in America. The Crust on the Left Coasts consider Flyover Country (when they think about us at all) as an impediment to whatever Grand Scheme they’ve just come up with rather than a constituency that they’re there to serve.

“Big business and big government are not enemies like a lot of people think they are,” says American Enterprise Institute fellow Tim Carney in my new video. “When government gets bigger, whether it’s through spending or taxes or regulation, the big guys, big business benefits.”

Consider the $15 minimum wage. People think of that law as pro-worker. But big companies like Walmart, Costco and Amazon lobby in favor of it. Why?

Because big business can afford robots. Their competitors often cannot.

Tucson to Ignore Arizona’s ‘Second Amendment Sanctuary’ Law

8th July 2021

Read  it.

ucson city officials are planning to ignore Arizona’s new “Second Amendment sanctuary” law, preventing state and local governments from enforcing specific federal gun regulations.

The move made by Democrat Mayor Regina Romero and the Tucson City Council puts the sale of firearms at odds with the Republican-led state.

The southern Arizona city has a long history of enforcing gun laws stricter than the state. The measures have included mandating background checks of guns bought on city property and destroying seized firearms. But over the years, those measures have been challenged after Republican-led efforts enacted laws barring those measures.

2 Educators Fight for Their Jobs After Suggesting Commonsense Transgender Policies for School

7th July 2021

A school board in Oregon will decide whether to fire two educators at a middle school who were placed on leave after producing a video proposing that schools recognize a student’s biological sex, not his or her gender identity.

Science teacher Katie Medart and assistant principal Rachel Damiano of North Middle School in Grants Pass, Oregon, filed a federal lawsuit saying the school’s disciplinary action in April violated their constitutional rights.

Stop Surrendering Education to the Radical Left

7th July 2021

Read it.

America’s children have been raised in a system dedicated to the proposition that America itself is evil, a repository of discrimination and bigotry, a country founded in sin and steeped in cruelty.

This week, for example, the National Education Association, the single largest teachers union in the country, passed a resolution pledging to “Share and publicize … information already available on critical race theory (CRT)”; “Provide an already-created, in-depth, study that critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society”; and “Join with Black Lives Matter at School and the Zinn Education Project to call for a rally this year on October 14—George Floyd’s birthday—as a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression.”

Stop sending your kids to government schools.

The Biden Administration Enables Destructive Ideologues Even as It Demonizes Opposition.

7th July 2021

Read it.

For the last 20 years, I’ve watched the United States government stoke fears of terrorism. Often, terrorists appeared on our screens and in print as context-free boogeymen. Once the security state had snatched up more funding and assaulted our liberties, we’d find out that the terrorists were blowback from some reckless foreign policy decision or were simply creatures of the FBI. Since my middle school days, the threat of terror has served as justification rather than motivation, while masquerading as the latter. So I felt, of all things, a bit nostalgic while watching the announcement of Biden’s domestic terror initiative.

People are fleeing California in general, and San Francisco in particular, in droves. As to San Francisco, the fundamental problem is lawlessness. Which means not just violent crime, which the city has in abundance, but a breakdown in the fundamental norms of civilization that make urban living possible.

The main problem is that San Francisco’s far-left city administration has decided not to prosecute theft. The result, naturally, is an epidemic of theft. Thus Target, for example, is now closing its San Francisco stores at 6 p.m.

America’s teachers’ unions are the country’s single most malign influence. They do more to promote leftist extremism, and do it more effectively, than anyone else. The teachers’ unions dominate the schools of education, from which most teachers come, and they control school board elections in most districts. In effect, they run the public schools, which is the main reason why the public schools are so bad.

Why Are Lawmakers Agreeing to Send Armies of IRS Agents After American Small Businesses?

2nd July 2021

Read it.

If you wanted to find the group getting the rawest deal in 2021 America, you might start with small-business owners. Many are finding themselves working 60- or 80-hour weeks just to scrape by. During the height of COVID-19, these companies were especially beaten down. Between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2020, about 30% of U.S. small businesses closed, while total small-business revenue decreased by 31%, according to Economic Tracker. During the same period, the stock market boomed, and multinational corporations continued to thrive. The effects of this economic destruction are apparent in communities all over the country. Boxed-up storefronts on main streets across America are the norm.

Given this dynamic, it’s almost incomprehensible that Senate Republicans are about to help pass an infrastructure package that unleashes the IRS to collect more revenue through aggressive policing of small businesses.

The Veep From ‘Veep’

2nd July 2021

Read it.

President Joe Biden has a problem, and her name is Kamala Harris. The vice president has become a comic figure in today’s Washington—a politician given to missteps and unforced errors who inspires neither loyalty nor trust within her inner circle. She might have been Biden’s safest pick for running mate. But now she’s a liability for both the president and the Democratic Party.

It’s not just that Harris is unpopular. Her unique combination of falsity and incompetence generates negative press and endangers her dreams of succeeding Biden. For Harris, the month of June has been an extended replay of highlights from Veep, the HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a clueless and floundering politician on the make. Only Harris isn’t laughing.

Court Orders Minneapolis to Hire More Police

2nd July 2021

Read it.

There is a lot of judicial news today. This one is hot off the press: a judge of the Hennepin County District Court has granted a motion for a writ of mandamus against the City of Minneapolis, ordering the city to “immediately take any and all necessary action” to increase the size of the Minneapolis Police Department. The case was brought by residents of crime-ridden North Minneapolis, represented by the Upper Midwest Law Center, on whose board I serve.

The petition for a writ of mandamus was predicated on a provision of the Minneapolis City Charter that requires the city to maintain a police force of at least 0.0017 employees per resident. The petitioners argued that the City’s force has fallen below that requirement and is projected to continue falling farther behind over the next year.

If Kamala Harris didn’t exist, the media would have to invent her. The mainstream media is determined to treat Joe Biden with kid gloves. Gossip about the White House seems largely off-limits and apparently not easy to come by without great effort.

But journalists love gossip and drama, so they seek them one level down from the Oval Office. And what’s more dramatic than a woman on track to becoming the first female president, but facing an uncertain path and sniping from sources who favor potential rivals?

A Commonsense Bill That Will Ensure IRS Agents Do Their Jobs

30th June 2021

Read it.

This notion that someone could not show up to their job and work for a separate, self-interested entity while collecting a paycheck for the work they did not do is an anathema to most Americans. For public-sector employees, it’s simply “official time.”

Originally created within the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act, “official time” is a process in which public-sector employees are “released” from their official duties—the equivalent of receiving paid leave—so that they can work for their unions. The activities they do include negotiating collective bargaining agreements; filing and litigating superfluous grievance complaints; participating in labor-management discussions; and lobbying Congress.
