EXCLUSIVE: North Korean Woman Describes Daring Escape From The Kim Regime | The Daily Caller:
A woman who defected from North Korea last year told The Daily Caller how she pulled off an escape that was nine years in the making, and described what it was like to experience freedom for the first time in South Korea, and later the U.S. She hopes that one day her family members who are still in the country ruled by Kim Jong Un can share her newfound joy.

Uber and Lyft want you banned from using your own self-driving car in urban areas
"The rabble can’t be trusted with self-driving cars, and only companies operating fleets of them should be able to use them in dense urban areas.
So say Uber and Lyft, as signatories to a new list of transportation goals developed by a group of international non-governmental organizations and titled “Shared Mobility Principles for Livable Cities.”
...According to Principle No. 10, the signatories — which also include other companies involved in transportation as a service — agree that autonomous vehicles in “dense urban areas” should only be operated in fleets..."

Park City student admits to releasing pepper spray before Turning Point club event | ParkRecord.com
"A Park City High School senior facing 18 criminal charges admitted to releasing pepper spray in the school’s lecture hall last month to prevent a conservative school club from hosting an event.
The 18-year-old student on Friday admitted in 3rd District Juvenile Court to criminal mischief, a third-degree felony, as well as two counts of assault and one count of disrupting a meeting, all class B misdemeanors.
Judge Elizabeth Knight dismissed the remaining 14 charges.
The Park Record is not naming the student because he was a minor at the time of the incident.
...The teen admitted during the hearing that he released the spray in the lecture hall “with the intention to disrupt a meeting.”
“I didn’t feel as though it was a very safe thing for a lot of our students to really have in our school, so I decided I wanted to disrupt it,” he said during the hearing..."

Ex-FBI Lawyer Claims He Was ‘Concerned’ With Steele Dossier, But Still Used It To Get Carter Page Spy Warrant | The Daily Caller
Ex-FBI Lawyer Claims He Was ‘Concerned’ With Steele Dossier, But Still Used It To Get Carter Page Spy Warrant | The Daily Caller:
Former FBI general counsel James Baker said Friday he viewed the Steele dossier “skeptically” and was “concerned” about the veracity of the document when the bureau received it before the 2016 election.
But despite those concerns, Baker was one of the FBI officials who reviewed the Carter Page surveillance warrant application, which relied heavily on information from the dossier.

"It’s worth noting that even in the Jetson’s future world of flying cars a driver was still required.
That’s because the Jetsons lived in a world where technology may have advanced but the fundamental elements of human nature remained the same.
Which is to say most humans like to be in control.
Driving gives us that sense, we can’t control the other idiots on the road but we can control how we maneuver around their stupidity.
And that may be why we may actually be closer to the flying car than the driverless car.
...I cannot in a thousand years imagine why you’d turn your car controls over to a computer whose guts were built in China and will be, like your laptop, prone to failure at the most inopportune moment…leaving you completely vulnerable.
...But then, I’ve written about this before: Driverless Cars: The Pinnacle of Soul-Sucking Anti-American Wussification.
Could there be anything less American than driverless cars?
I suppose sexbots might quality but certainly driverless cars are right up there..."

Yes, this was the headline---In Michigan basketball's coach search, winning shouldn't be top priority
"Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel isn’t just trying to replace a winning basketball coach.
He’s trying to find a coach who will keep the program’s established culture intact.
Winning, obviously, is important.
But sleeping is more important.
...No one worried about the police blotter.
Or the NCAA policing committee.
Or whether Beilein would say the wrong thing after a tough loss..."

Why Bill de Blasio is running for president | Spectator USA
Why Bill de Blasio is running for president | Spectator USA
"...the grounds on which de Blasio is operating becomes clearer.
It all stems from the corruption cloud that has long engulfed his mayoral administration.
People might not even remember (if they ever knew in the first place) that he ended up embroiled in serious legal jeopardy for much of his tenure in office.
...There were two simultaneous investigations happening at the time; both federal and state.
...Really, all of this just scratches the surface – more corruption-related leaks are destined to surface in short order.
...All of this gets to the fundamental corruption at the heart of the American presidential election system: it’s become a racket, effectively a jobs program for useless consultants.
What with the hyper-politicization observed during the Trump era, even the most hopeless candidate at least has a shot to raise significant sums and blow it on sleazy operatives promising that they alone possess the tools to successfully bolster the candidate’s image on TV and the web.
...In de Blasio’s case, his city-based fundraising operation has already been basically shuttered by the cops, so why not take that same approach to the national stage and see who bites.
It’s too tempting to pass up, especially if you’re operating with boundless hubris to begin with.
Reach for the stars, Bill!"
