A rogue Democratic aide stole a massive trove of political data and used it to harm Republicans by “doxxing” them in what prosecutors call the “largest data theft in Senate history.”

The theft was made possible, and could have been much worse, because of myriad blunders by the Capitol Police and multiple Democratic congresswomen.

Jackson Cosko was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison. Prosecutors called his offense an “extraordinary” and “vicious” crime where the ex-Democratic aide stole a senator’s data, mined it for blackmail material and then published the home addresses and phone numbers of Republican senators during the 2018 hearings for now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Isn’t it amazing how, with all of the complaints about Republicans that Congressional Democrats make, it’s somehow always a Democrat that goes to jail.

Maryland banned “high capacity” magazines and a variety of “assault weapons” via the Firearm Safety Act of 2013. That Act also required would-be handgun buyers to submit fingerprints to the state police as a part of the registration scenario.

On March 27, 2017, Breitbart News reported the criminal use of “high capacity” magazines was at a seven-year high. In other words, the ban had only impacted law-abiding citizens. Criminals still had – and still used – the prohibited magazines.

District officials voted to fire a Texas English teacher Tuesday, following tweets to President Donald Trump about illegal immigrants in the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD).

Unfortunately, school officials in major Texas cities are as Blue as in any coastal area.

“The Board approved her ‘proposed’ termination, in the words of the Board president, Jacinto Ramos, Jr., ‘…based both upon Ms. Clark’s conduct, and the fact that the public reaction to her conduct has been highly negative and, therefore compromised and diminished her effectiveness as a teacher within Fort Worth ISD,’” Bond said.

In other words, she’s a troublemaker and so she has to go. Apparently her effectiveness as a teacher is judged by how ‘woke’ she is.

Tennessee Republican Rep. John Rose temporarily blocked a disaster relief bill in the House by objecting to an unanimous consent vote Thursday, delaying $19.1 billion dollars of aid.

“I am standing in a House chamber that is virtually empty. Nearly all of my 431 colleagues are absent as the Speaker of the House seeks to pass a $19 billion spending bill,” Rose said on the House floor. “Our nation is $22 trillion in debt, trying to pass nearly $20 billion in new spending while the majority of Congress is not even in Washington reflects another act of irresponsible big government.”

This is the third time the Democrat leadership in the House has attempted to pass this spending bill via ‘unanimous consent’, and it would have worked had there not been vigilant Republicans present to stand in the way of this chicanery. If the bill has majority support, have a vote. That they can’t face a vote suggests that the bill doesn’t have majority support, and they’re trying to pull a fast one.

The Trump administration has officially pulled a $929 million federal grant to the California High-Speed Rail Authority after terminating a 2010 agreement.

In a release, the Federal Railroad Association – a component of the US Department of Transportation – said that California’s rail authority “repeatedly failed to comply with the terms of the FY10 agreement and has failed to make reasonable progress on the project. Additionally, California has abandoned its original vision of a high-speed passenger rail service connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles, which was essential to its applications for FRA grant funding,” according to CNBC.

The FRA added that it “continues to consider all options regarding the return of $2.5 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds awarded to CHSRA.”

Since Governor Newsome has already said they won’t complete the project, but will continue work so that they can get the Federal money, this is a no-brainer … which, of course, doesn’t mean that California public officials won’t whine about it.

Larry Ellison apparently agrees with me:

A proposed hike in Illinois’ annual registration fee for electric vehicles, from $17.50 to $1,000, is being called unfair by current EV owners, and a sales disincentive by manufacturers — just as the new technology is beginning to gain broader traction.

“It’s outrageous,” said Nicoletta Skarlatos, 56, of Chicago, who bought a Tesla Model S five years ago. “I thought Illinois was progressive and would want to encourage EV ownership.”

Illinois is progressive, and these ‘progressive’ politicians have realized that electric vehicles are toys for the rich — and what do they do with the rich? Soak ’em!

The justification for the dramatic hike? Electric vehicles don’t provide the state with any gas tax revenue.

And tax revenue comes before everything. Democrat pols to taxpayers: Pay us now or pay us later, you’re gonna pay us.

Advocates for the ban claim that it’s prejudicial toward lower income people who may not have access to debit cards or credit cards according to the AP. The concept has also been introduced in New York City. The city’s Board of Supervisors will take up the issue Tuesday, which is likely to pass, as all 11 members of the Board are listed as sponsors or co-sponsors. Officials have been working in vain to make San Francisco more equitable in the face of an unprecedented wealth gap (and despite record amounts of human feces on the streets).

Maybe they don’t want ‘lower income people’ in their stores? Maybe they don’t wast ‘record amounts of feces on the streets’ from migrating into their stores?
