Obama’s Reckless Plan Threatens U.S. Oversight of Internet

The Obama administration is poised to surrender control of certain Internet functions to non-profit ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, on October 1. According to Americans for Limited Government’s senior editor Robert Romano, opposition to this Internet giveaway has united Republicans such as Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and presidential candidate Donald Trump.

One consequence of a gym membership is that, for better or for worse, you see TV you would otherwise never see. I would never knowingly sit down and turn on the Today Show. The last thing I need is to ingest intellectual rot that makes me stupider by the second. But when you climb on the elliptical to do 30 minutes of cardio, the machine's built-in TV doesn't have MLB Network. Yeah. I know. And this morning, for some reason, Fox Sports Detroit wasn't replaying last night's Tiger game.

The Legal Shotgun

In a related article, "Burns Chronicles No 30 - Officer? What Officer?", I addressed a common element to the Indictments from Oregon and Nevada.
