Net Neutrality Is about Government Control of the Internet
In 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed a set of Internet privacy and net neutrality rules. The rules were then eliminated by Congress two months ago before they ever went into effect. Net neutrality ideologues are lamenting this new action, saying access to the Internet is a right and should be treated as a public utility. But what would that mean? Public utilities do not innovate. Nor do they seek to better their service for consumers. The fight over the privacy rules passed by the FCC is the latest brawl between advocates of a free and largely unregulated Internet and the “net neutrality” activist ideologues who see the Internet as something that should be nationalized and publicly owned and regulated.
Trump Defiles the Sanctity of Government, and It Drives the Center-Left Mad
Trump has profoundly disturbed the balance. He overthrew the respective establishments of two parties, tore right into the legitimacy of the national press, humiliated every expert who predicted his demise, and is now stumbling around Washington like a bum in a jewelry store. He is not actually cutting back on the size of the state; he is doing something even more terrifying from the center-left point of view: he is ruining the mystery of the state, and thereby discrediting their holy institutions.
Why Are So Many Poor Americans So Overweight?
Recent reports show that the United States is one of the most obese nations in the world. A 2015 report commission by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that the US “has the fattest kids by a wide margin and is tops in poor health for teenagers.” But one wonders if public spending is what is partly fueling the obesity epidemic.
Dethrone the FBI, Not Just Comey
The FBI is a historically untrustworthy secret organization. It is time to cease venerating a federal agency whose abuses have perennially menaced Americans’ constitutional rights.

Colvilles integral in inmates hosted powwow in Walla Walla’s medium security prison, Friday
For four hours, Friday, tribal inmates within the walls of the Washington State Department of Correction’s Washington State Penitentiary, here, had freedom - as if the guards simply lay down their weapons, opened the heavy metal doors and allowed a brief escape. But the escape, the freedom came inside the walls of Washington’s oldest prison in operation - inside what was once a former territorial prison, tribal inmates tell, where Plateau tribal members were sent over a century ago - in form of a powwow, hosted by the men of WSP’s medium security area. Legally, the powwow was an expression of their religious right, and for those hours, the men were far from the walls, the barbed wire and chainlink fence.
