A Federal Communications Commission lawyer faced a skeptical panel of judges today as the FCC defended its repeal of net neutrality rules and deregulation of the broadband industry.
Blocking, throttling, or any sort of paid prioritization that causes other traffic to be delivered slower than prioritized traffic could affect both public safety agencies and consumers who rely on broadband to get emergency messages, she noted.

Conservative pundit and VICE Media co-founder Gavin McInnes as filed a lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) after they deemed his right-wing fraternal organization, the Proud Boys, a hate group.
McInnes's attorney, Ron D. Coleman, filed a 61-page complaint in Sunday evening in the Middle District of Alabama, according to the Gateway Pundit‘s Cassandra Fairbanks (see actual filing below).

Let Cynthia’s story serve as a moral of sorts, those who actually try to stand up to the system of corruption and graft in DC have no chance in hell to remain in office. While we are led to believe that the struggle within our government is between “left” and “right” and between Republicans and Democrats, in reality both wings in DC work in concert to perpetuate immoral wars, unjust foreign policies, and unfair economic policies. Those who try to speak against these depravities that take place in DC on a regular basis are either quickly defeated—as opponents are given millions of dollars to overwhelm any elected official who dares stray too far from the plutocratic orthodoxy—or some scandal is unearthed about them as the media is set against them like rabid dogs. In the worst case, those who speak truth to power meet an early demise.
