President Donald Trump has quietly transferred more than $200 million from Pentagon counterdrug efforts toward building his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, drawing protests from Democrats who say he is again abusing his powers.

Congress to vote on CASE Act – a law that would enable censorship through copyright claims

 Didi Rankovic October 19, 2019

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a San Francisco-based digital rights group, this week called on US voters to consider contacting their representatives in Congress in order to urge them not to vote for the Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement (CASE) Act.

EFF's argument is that, if passed, this bill could easily end up bankrupting ordinary internet users, while never efficiently addressing the problem it was meant to tackle – simplifying the process by which artists can lodge copyright complaints and collect damages in cases concerning, like the proposed act says on the box – “small claims.”

The digital rights group makes a point of the fact that the new legislation would not hold the new Copyright Claims Board it envisions to the same standards as “real courts” – where suing on copyright infringement grounds “requires a valid copyright registration so that there is a verifiable record about the owner and date of creation of the work at issue.”

But should the CASE Act be passed – legal protections would be watered down all the way to removing this requirement – and in the end, making copyright claims “almost impossible to appeal.”

If this great fighter had not leapt out of the business and entertainment world onto the pages of political history, it would be Game-Over now for America.

But now we have found our movement: 62 million and growing. This will be the President’s greatest legacy ... especially when it becomes clear that blacks and Latinos and Asians and all the other “Minority” groups are totally welcome ... as long as they are FOR AMERICA and against socialism in all its forms.

I truly believe the tide of socialism has been turned back, in America at least.

We may be the last nation standing; but it will be enough. America will continue as the beacon of hope to the peoples of Hong Kong, China, Brazil, Ethiopia, Eastern Europe, maybe even the Arab world (Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey etc. used to be so much freer!) and so many others.

The goal of “One World” is to extinguish that light.

Now, because of 2016, 2018 and 2020 elections in America, it ain’t gonna happen.

Can’t these idiots figure out that building the wall is a counter-drug effort?

Even this “too close to 80 years old” can figure that out!
