CHINA CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO SET DICTATORIAL RULES FOR THE INTERNET: China’s Dystopian “New IP” Plan Shows Need for Renewed US Commitment to Internet Governance. “Huawei’s plans for 6G and beyond make U.S. concerns over 5G look paltry: Huawei is proposing a fundamental internet redesign, which it calls “New IP,” designed to build ‘intrinsic security’ into the web. Intrinsic security means that individuals must register to use the internet, and authorities can shut off an individual user’s internet access at any time. In short, Huawei is looking to integrate China’s ‘social credit,’ surveillance, and censorship regimes into the internet’s architecture.”

LOOKS LIKE J.D. VANCE is serious about running for Senate in Ohio. “Well, I suppose that Vance’s putatitve opponents can point out that Vance is now a venture capitalist. But if Scranton Joe can point back to his relatively impoverished roots, Vance can make an even better claim. Vance really has been there and done that when it comes to living in and coming from poverty and a druggy/criminal culture. What got him out of there and to his ‘exalted venture capitalist status’ was a tour in the military as an enlisted man.”

UH-HUH: Pelosi Will Not Bring Supreme Court Expansion Bill To A Vote But Won’t Rule Out Court-Packing.
Pelosi is probably the best arm-twister and vote-counter on Capitol Hill since LBJ ran the Senate. If she won’t bring the court-packing bill to the floor, then she already knows it’s a no-go — at least for now.
