The "No Kings" rallies are mostly a protest against a man who sought power 3 times through democratic elections and enacted his major agenda item by majority vote of democratically elected members of Congress. Some king.

Biden says he is "lowering your home energy bills." Huh? Electricity is up 11.9%, fuel oil is up 27.7%, and natural gas is up 26.7% over last year.

On Monday, Sept. 19 at 12 p.m. ET: Arthur Cooksey will be joined by @DrMcCance_Katz, @evice7, @EricDHargan, and @kathyireland to discuss the mental health crisis our children are facing today & what each of us can do to support our young people. Register: zoom.us/webinar/regist…

IFL President Andrew Langer has a new piece up at @townhallcom, drawing a line between the Biden Admin's student loan forgiveness plans, whataboutism of accusing PPP recipients of hypocrisy, and how this can inform the Farm Bill and US trade policy. townhall.com/columnists/and…

Thankfully, in this day and age, there are issues different sides can agree on. I'm pleased the @FCC is taking a rational, thoughtful approach to dealing with "unlicensed spectrum" - an approach which will allow for innocation in the "internet of things"! wififorward.org/news/wififorwa…

@wbaltv11 @JimWBALTraffic @wbalradio MDOT SHA is saddened by the loss of our partner in transportation, Jim Russ.

As Congress grapples with the best methods of delivering high tech services to consumers, the @NCCable have an interesting study out on regulatory/fee impediments in that state! nccta.com/wp-content/plu…

Appreciate corporate America and what it does for us, like, jobs. Love the planet too, and floating plastic islands are hideous. Hoping beverage co's will use tech & the free market to aid in combatting plastic pollution. @iChooseLiberty reactionarytimes.com/the-right-way-…

Great piece from IFL Senior Fellow @KerriHT (aka Kerri Toloczko)! reactionarytimes.com/the-right-way-…

In the wake of the volatility of crypto markets (especially Bitcoin) in the last few weeks, here's a piece on the federal executive branch jumping the gun in terms of deciding what cryptocurrency IS. spectator.org/crypto-regulat…

‘You’re not entitled your book contract,’ can quickly become ‘United doesn’t have to let you onto its planes’ ‘Marriott doesn’t have to let you stay at its hotels,’ or ‘Visa doesn’t have to let you use its cards.’ And maybe that’s the point.

.@KFF: insurers increasingly profitable during #coronavirus. Based on @AARPadvocates/@UHC profit-scheme, high-risk seniors suffer from #COVID19, while @AARP and partners rake in cash. Will they pass record profits to seniors via reduced premiums? kff.org/private-insura…

#OnThisDay in 1980, Congress deregulated railroads, setting them on track to create a safe, efficient & sustainable network. Bipartisan rail deregulation continues to benefit the economy and consumers. #Staggers40. @WSJ op-ed: on.wsj.com/374ABzd

Today the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Google v Oracle. We weighed in on the case in the Washington Times. washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/…

As @Andrew_Langer just tweeted, "This is a vital and amazing effort being undertaken - a public/private partnership that will increase essential broadband access while still preserving the flexibility of the marketplace. #ConnectedEd #BackToSchool2020" ncta.com/k12bridge-to-b…

Was part of a "virtual panel" today on the implications of @Google v @Oracle for health care in the long term! realclearhealth.com/articles/2020/…

Ideas used to matter, but elitists and the media want us to focus on frippery. In IFL President @Andrew_Langer's new @townhallcom piece, he talks about the importance of ideas and policy... to everyday voters. townhall.com/columnists/and…

IFL has long-talked about the a well-known "secret" that what makes Chinese firms so competitive is that they steal IP from American companies and produce goods using, essentially, slave labor. CNBC talked about it last year: cnbc.com/2019/02/28/1-i…

Yes, the US shouldn't have had to go to Russia for rocket engines. And the owners of US-based rocket companies shouldn't be relying on the Chinese government for financing... redstate.com/diary/setonmot…
