Scientism, Despotism, Blackmail and The New Carbon Dioxide Regulations

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  June 19th at 11:00 AM  | 

Well, well, well. The Obama Administration is preparing to declare war. No, no you Nervous Nellies, not on Syria. That will be a collective police action where we help Al Qaida by leading from behind. This will be an all-out frontal assault. A veritable Pickett’s Charge of the Paper-cut Rangers. President Barack Obama is out to slay Man-made Cooling, Global Warming, Climate Change once and for all. According to the always entertaining Henry Waxman, it involves his legacy.

“This is an important issue to the president. It’s a question of his legacy,” said Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Beverly Hills), ranking member on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. “Five years from now, people will be talking about what the Obama administration did on climate change, not entitlements or the deficit or whatever they are talking about now. Because climate change is here and real, and we have to address it.”

Of course there will be travails before we carve this great and lion-hearted President’s smirking benevolent visage into the hard, enduring granite of Mount Rushmore. But if Congress won’t act to protect future generations, Barack Obama will. He currently proposes to issue a new regulation in July that would limit source emissions from Power Generation Facilities to 1,000 pounds of CO2 per megawatt hour.

“Let me go on. I’m not yielding my time.”

By: Caleb Howe (Diary)  |  February 7th at 09:00 PM  | 

Renee Ellmers (R-NC), took on Henry Waxman (D-CA) in spectacular fashion today in a joint House-Senate hearing on the payroll tax cut extension. “What you say is completely and totally incorrect.” Unfortunately a transcript is not yet available, but Rep. Ellmers takes the whole committee to task on ineffectiveness, useless rhetoric, and grandstanding, in a classic rant. It is especially satisfying to hear someone in | Read More »

Henry Waxman Claims Jews Do It For The Money

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  September 15th at 02:34 PM  | 

Holy cow! Henry Waxman says Jews are voting GOP because they want to protect their wealth. I guess we have to let him get away with it because he is Jewish, but Great Lord in Heaven if someone else had said it was all about Jews and their money the ADL would be out in force demanding the person resign. “I think Jewish voters will | Read More »

Former President Clinton: the Supremes could Smoke ObamaCare

By: Dan Perrin (Diary)  |  April 30th at 08:30 AM  | 

From the diaries by Erick Note to the universe: do you really think the Supreme Court will act like there is a severability clause in ObamaCare, when one does not exist? It’s not like the Supremes spend their dawns poring over statutes, line by line, or anything at all like that. So, President Clinton thought he might mention it. And now TIME magazine is reporting | Read More »

State Of The Union Prom Dates

By: Caleb Howe (Diary)  |  January 24th at 09:00 AM  | 

At this week’s State of the Union address, those cards in the House and Senate are going to be a little more shuffled than usual. It seems in the interest of newing up the tone and de-rhetoricizing, the boys and girls have decided to find themselves speech buddies from across the aisle. Yes, in a move certain to send shivers of intimidation down the spines | Read More »

Tech at Night: Verizon, FCC, Net Neutrality, Google

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  January 22nd at 03:30 AM  | 

The big story as we close out this week is Verizon appealing the FCC’s Net Neutrality order. Verizon is choosing to go back to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, the site of the last Net Neutrality legal fight. That was the Comcast v FCC case, lost by the FCC because the FCC simply doesn’t have the legal authority to do it. Some say it | Read More »

An FCC Net Neutrality sunset is a no-win scenario

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  November 30th at 01:30 PM  | 

In my Tech at Night series at RedState we’ve been waiting on the FCC to tell us what they intend to do in December about Net Neutrality. Rumors say that the FCC may come to a compromise on the issue. Instead of declaring war on industry and attempting to take over the Internet under Title II, Chairman Julius Genachowski may try to pass a set | Read More »

Tech at Night: Red Alert

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  November 20th at 05:19 AM  | 

I know it’s a big day for Net Neutrality when I wake up and my Email Inbox is jammed full with links, so many basically saying the same thing: The FCC is on the move. I’m told it all goes back to a November 15 speech by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, in which he expresses an urgency for the FCC to pass a bunch of | Read More »

Tech at Night: Post-Election Edition

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  November 4th at 03:00 AM  | 

Sorry for missing Tech at Night on Monday, but I had to rest up for Election Day. And of course, as you may have heard, Republicans ended up having a good night. What you may not have heard though, was that the forces of radical Internet regulation had a very bad night. Democrats went for broke on Net Neutrality but as covered by Moe Lane | Read More »

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality, Google, For The Children

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  October 30th at 03:00 AM  | 

Good evening. Through the magic of Claritin, my favorite drug, I’m able to bring you tonight’s edition. On the Net Neutrality front, the progressive left is getting delusional. They’re pretending that it matters what their members of Congress think when their President has done not one thing to stop his FCC from going off on its own to break the law, defy the courts, and | Read More »

Tech at Night: Google, FCC, Net Neutrality

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  October 26th at 02:00 AM  | 

Yes, we’re talking about Google again tonight. Of course they never did delist Daily Kos after the Chris Bowers manipulations, despite having gone after Kay Bailey Hutchison for breaking their rules. But we have more to ride them about: They’re blocking pro-life ads again. These ads are running on local television in DC for Republican Missy Reilly Smith who is challenging Delegate Holmes Eleanor Norton, | Read More »

Meet the Fallujah Four.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  October 17th at 12:30 PM  | 

These would be the four Democrats [Sen. Barbara Boxer (D, CA); Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA-30); Rep. Dennis Kuchinich (D, OH-10); and Rep. Raul Grijavla (D, AZ-07)] who provided letters of introduction and support to the pro-terrorist groups Code Pink/Global Exchange in 2004.  Those groups used these letters to facilitate their delivery over a half a million dollars’ worth of aid to terrorists in Fallujah | Read More »

Tech at Night: Google, Daily Kos, Net Neutrality

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  October 11th at 10:00 PM  | 

The Chris Bowers pagerank scam using a linking scheme driven by recruited websites is still in the works, but Google has not delisted Daily Kos. Interesting bit of bias there, huh? And all I need say about Net Neutrality this week, and the urgent need for legislation to stop the runaway FCC, was said by Seton Motley at the Washington Examiner.

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality, Net Neutrality, Net Neutrality

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  October 7th at 02:00 AM  | 

Catch future episodes of The Needle for a special discussion of Tech at Night and my other project, UnlikelyVoter.com. Be warned, though, The Needle is a bit rowdier than RedState. I’ve said it in this space before, and I’ll keep saying because the Lame Duck session is coming: Republicans need to get out in front on Net Neutrality and we need to do it quickly. | Read More »

Tech at Night: Henry Waxman, Net Neutrality, California, New York, 4chan, Privacy

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  October 4th at 11:30 PM  | 

Apologies for missing the last two Tech at Nights. But unlike the paid staff of the well-funded Free Press, every word I’ve ever written here on technical issues has been on my own time, for free, because I care about the issues. And when work overwhelms me, as it did last week as a huge deadline approached, something had to give. And what gave was | Read More »
