Byron York: Former top spy rethinks: Maybe we shouldn't have attacked a new president
Byron York: Former top spy rethinks: Maybe we shouldn't have attacked a new president:
"Morell admits he went after the new president without even considering what that might mean. "I think there was a significant downside to those of us who became political," he told Glasser. "So, if I could have thought of that, would I have ended up in a different place? I don't know. But it's something I didn't think about.""

Explosive Texts Point To FBI, Not Russian, Meddling In 2016 Election | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"...But explosive text exchanges between top FBI agents suggest it should be looking in the mirror.
The text messages sent between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, which became public on Wednesday, provide a rare and illuminating window into just how rabidly partisan putatively nonpartisan law enforcement officials can be.
...Strzok was a key player in the FBI's investigation into whether Clinton had broken the law by using a private, unsecured email server to handle highly classified documents.
...He was also the person who watered down the language in the statement used by Comey to exonerate Clinton, changing it from "gross negligence" to "extremely careless," which as we noted in this space was critical to Comey's claim that Clinton didn't break any laws.
Remember, too, that when Strzok was busy airbrushing Clinton's email crimes, he would have known that, had the FBI done the right thing and indicted her for putting national security at risk, it would have crushed her campaign, and helped elect the man Strzok clearly felt should never be president.
In other words, Strzok had motive, means and opportunity to sabotage that investigation..."

Net Neutrality 101 | Competitive Enterprise Institute
Net Neutrality 101 | Competitive Enterprise Institute:
What is net neutrality?
"Net neutrality" refers to a controversial set of Internet regulations issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The concept of net neutrality originally focused on requiring broadband providers to let their subscribers use applications, services, and devices of their choosing.
But net neutrality has come to mean the straightjacketing of the Internet by treating broadband providers like public utilities (like phone or cable companies) under the same 1934 regulatory regime used to govern the old AT&T Ma Bell telephone monopoly.
For example, under the FCC's net neutrality regulations, a wireless broadband provider may not prioritize video-chat applications—which can suffer greatly during periods of network congestion—over other applications.
Simply put, after decades of enjoying a hands-off approach from Washington that allowed a vibrant, open, and free Internet to flourish, the new FCC rules subject the Internet to more government control than it has ever known in the United States..."

HOOVER’S HEROES.
Not too long ago Bob Hoover left this world but he left quite a legacy in aviation.
Known as “The Pilot’s Pilot” Hoover had an amazing career with fighter planes, experimental aircraft and will always be regarded as one of the greatest pilots who ever lived.
Hoover had some incredible stories during the war, one of the most impressive tales how he escaped from a German POW camp by stealing a German plane....“We ran across this airfield and all the planes were damaged or unflyable. But I found one that had a lot of damage but it was full of fuel. I got in the cockpit, didn’t have a parachute but I was in there and I was going and got the engine started. I took off, I didn’t even go to the runway, I went out right across the grass and got airborne.”– Bob Hoover

Waiting Times For Canada's Single-Payer Health Care System Hit Record High
Waiting Times For Canada's Single-Payer Health Care System Hit Record High:
"Waiting times for medically necessary health care services under Canada's single-payer system have hit a record high, according to a report from the Fraser Institute.
...The Fraser Institute found that patients under Canada's single-payer system this year waited an average of 10.9 weeks—roughly two-and-a-half months—from the time they had a consultation with a specialist to the time at which they received treatment.
Physicians consider 7.2 weeks to be a clinically reasonable wait time.
The report also found that patients' wait for treatment after referral to a specialist by their general practitioner was 21.2 weeks, or longer than four months.
"This year's wait time—the longest ever recorded in this survey's history—is 128 percent longer than in 1993, when it was just 9.3 weeks," the report states..."

Consumers Win With Upcoming FCC 'Net Neutrality' Vote | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"The Federal Communications Commission will soon vote to undo net neutrality, an Obama-era power grab.
Despite many claims to the contrary, this move by the FCC would be the right decision for consumers and end the agency's micromanagement of the internet.
...former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler...order put five unelected government regulators at the FCC between consumers and ISPs, drastically expanding FCC's power.
Over the past decade, the debate over net neutrality has been warped by activists who support government having a significant role in the operation of the internet.
...Instead of being a fight over anti-competitive business practices, today's net neutrality debate is about something called "paid prioritization," a technical term used to describe an agreement between a content provider and a network owner.
Under a paid prioritization agreement, a content provider's data can travel on less-congested network routes in exchange for an agreed-upon fee.
Like taking a toll road, when networks are clogged with data during high-traffic times of the day, prioritization agreements allow consumers to receive requested data faster.
All kinds of data — emails, funny cat videos, your Twitter feed — travel over the internet, but some data types are more tolerant of delays or temporary congestion than others..."
