The Senate Commerce Committee is set to advance Maria Cantwell’s (D-WA) Spectrum and National Security Act (SNNA), potentially with Republican support, on Tuesday. While the bill has some national security provisions, its primary purpose is to extend “Spectrum Auctions” along with DEI giveaways disguised as “infrastructure.” The importance of stopping this bill goes beyond simply putting the breaks on yet another corporate giveaway and Biden regime DEI grift; an especially troubling part of the bill is that it sets a fixed policy on spectrum auctions for the next five years, effectively handcuffing future President Trump from using this critical piece of multi-billion dollar leverage as he sees fit.
What is a “spectrum auction” to begin with? The term spectrum in this context simply refers to zones or “bands” of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be used for telecommunications purposes. Radio waves, for instance, are zones of the electromagnetic spectrum that are used for what we conventionally consider AM and FM radio. The government has adopted the practice of auctioning off bands of the electromagnetic spectrum to private sector telecom companies as a way of efficiently allocating spectrum resources, which are worth tens of billions of dollars. The Spectrum and National Security Act in question ties the re-authorization of this auction authority to granting over $7 billion to the “Affordable Connectivity Program,” a federal government giveaway from Biden’s infrastructure bill that allegedly subsidizes internet access for “underserved communities.” Comcast (the parent company of MSNBC) is one of the biggest recipients of such ACP grants and is lobbying aggressively for its extension under the SNNA.
Incidentally, Joe Biden’s first fundraiser was held in a Comcast lobbyist’s living room, and the wife of Comcast CEO Brian Roberts was one of Biden’s biggest donors...

“Will Republicans Stop it...”
How about y’all wyepeepo just go Galt.
We have an administration, led by Obama and Biden, totally against the welfare of the United States and the people within.
I am a senior.. Lived thru many administrations.. This one is a first.. This one is a real danger to all we hold dear.. A danger to our safety. Their plans, would take the United States and change it from a nation under God to a Godless country, with no power to keep it.. And the world without the United States, would be a whole different world.
We have a congress.. That has done nothing to preserve our nation. This isn’t a democratic party you have known.. It is a representation of complete control.. And take out all that has tried to keep our US free and a great nation.)
Question: What percentage of ILLEGAL INVADERS are white?
Like slave days?
“Putting the breaks on?”
Where are the editors?
That reminds me, I’m overdue for a stake dinner.
It would be my position that since the 2020 election was stolen; nothing this corrupt regime has done can stand. But after Brandon and all his accomplices have been dispatched at Gitmo, everything they’ve done these past 4 years will be erased, and Trump will resume his MAGA Administration as though nothing had happened. This corrupt regime will merely seem like a bad dream.

That’s why they want to knock over the gameboard with a nuclear world war.
“Will Republicans Stop it...”
*************
Feckless Repukes are probably reaching across the isle right now.
We are in a situation not faced since the founding of this nation. There is someone who has ambition to take this United States, take God out and make it a land free of everything that has made us the greatest nation.
For whatever reason.. Congress has done nothing to stop this... Too enamored to see the real? Don’t want to see? Don’t care?
We are being overtaken by all that was supposed to save this land. Courts, every dept in the government.. There is nothing to stop an inside coup.. Which has already happened..
This is probably not seen by the younger generation.. But surely it is loud and clear to seniors.
Did the checks clear into the offshore accounts?
Heck, half the Republicans agree with it, and half of the other half are afraid to stand up for sanity.
A current congress does not have the power to bind any future congress from undoing whatever they want to and replace it with their laws.
Maybe it started in the 60s. They were the wave of uncaring, non patriotic kids growing into adults.
It changed from winning a war in the 40s,.. We were not a divided nation.
To Viet Nam, with a great divide. It’s been rocky since.
The leaders are not good and wise.. TV shows their errors.. I have the feeling they are all out of their abilities, and winging it.
Trump was a stronger leader.. Worked FOR the people. Taking him out has opened the gate for all to see what is destroying us and who do not care.
To Viet Nam, with a great divide. It’s been rocky since.
I think for the most part those wounds had healed with Reagan in the White House.
It has, however those kids grew up with a different mind set, and their kids learned about Viet Nam history. The attitude since the days of “free to do whatever you want” made a generation.. Generations. Changed and not going back.
I was in hi school before those days and raised my family after.during those days. Dealing with a society that had few rules.. I DID have rules for mine.
I am still not accepting the RUDE that has become conversation. I don’t like it and it’s not necessary. But it goes on.
Hmmm??? easy fix!
Trump Abolishes the Dept of Education, Dept of Energy,
HUD,ATF, and many others by Executive Orders and MANDATES ALL Non Military Federal Employee’s enroll in Obamacare and PAY for it themselves. MOVE Homeland Security and the FBI to El Paso and DISARM ALL OF THEM FOR LIFE.
