Kakistocracy said...: I just hope the former Capitol PD officer who was accused in the story of being the J6 pipe bomber sues The Blaze and this writer. He got his 13 million viral views. Now it looks like maybe he’s talked to a lawyer about it.

🚨Update on J6 Pipe Bomber Report🚨
After an abundance of counsel from trusted parties within and outside the government, we've hit the pause button so those interested parties can have some more time to look at the J6 pipe bomber evidence. There are things they need to do internally.

This is a real story. When it breaks, it's going to be a HUGE story. There are a lot of moving parts, but we need to give them time to do what they need to do, and I know everyone is waiting. Believe me. Tensions are running high. There have been a lot of sleepless nights the last two weeks. But this is a game-changer, and we don't want to do anything to jeopardize that right now.

I was up at 3:30 am preparing the video clips for the release on this morning’s Glenn Beck Program. Contrary to what so many X complainers will say, this wasn’t a hype stunt for views and clicks. And no, the government didn’t silence us. Glenn and I both were pretty amped up to put it all out this morning. And we were both very disappointed when the decision to postpone was made.

The government’s investigation into the J6 pipe bombs was going nowhere just two weeks ago. Today I can tell you that has all changed. A bunch of people got pretty spun up yesterday.

Hang tight. It’s all coming. ~ Steve Baker @ SteveBakerUSA; 11/9/25, 6:17 PM

Jaq said...: So I installed a Tablo, put an antenna on my roof, and pointed it at the nearest city, and now I can watch over the air TV on any phone, tablet, or smart TV in the house, and the picture is fantastic, you can read the numbers of another player off of the quarterback's helmet, every football game is as good as. the 4K World Series broadcast. Seems too good to be legal, cord cutter's dream. Well, guess what? The broadcasters are pushing through a new standard, purportedly to "improve the picture quality," I was watching college football yesterday, and I could see a cellophane candy wrapper blowing around the player's feet, I think that the quality is already pretty good, but of course, that's not the real reason.

They want to impose Digital Rights Management on broadcast TV. They don't want you to be able to record a show on your own device in your own home, and skip their commercials. You won't be able to share your signal throughout your own home with a device like Tablo, because of DRM. None of the TVs on sale right now at Walmart will work under this new standard, which they want to make mandatory starting in 2028. So instead of having one cable from the antenna to my Tablo, I will have to go back to the days of wiring my whole house up with coax, and have a "cable box" type adapter for every TV I own that doesn't support the new standard, starting in 2028, which is all the TVs I own. The only devices that they currently have to manage these broadcasts if DRM is enabled by the broadcaster, demand an internet connection, or no "free TV" for you!

It's just a power grab, and therefore a money grab, by the broadcasters, no consumers want this. The broadcasters want addressable advertising at the device level in your home.; 11/9/25, 8:29 PM

RCOCEAN II said...: Althouse the pooh and the blustery day. I love blustery days as long as its not too cold and there's no rain. To me, a warm aka about 60 degrees (but not rain) day with strong winds is perfect.; 11/9/25, 9:01 PM
Christopher said...: Jaq, it sounds like you're a fan of YouTubers Tyler the Antenna Man and Lon.TV. If not you should be, they've been all over the new ATSC3 standard and DRM. The fat lady hasn't sung yet on that one, the FCC's NPRM (regulatory thing) is asking industry and others a lot of questions about DRM, whether it makes any sense for the private consortium that set itself up as the DRM gatekeeper to continue in that role, and so on.

I live in Northern Virginia and cut the cord at least 15 years ago, and my scores of over the air channels, including crystal-clear reception on the primary channels, provide more than enough screen time to dull my brain. I do cheat with two or three streamers but could do without except for maybe MLBTV over Roku.

Tablo rocks.; 11/9/25, 9:02 PM

Agree. But many dumb consumers and voters want to be slaves to Big Media cause "Muh Free market" - so the bribed senators and congressmen stay bribed.; 11/9/25, 9:03 PM
Big Mike said...: @Eva Marie, you beat me to it. There’s a report that 10 Democrat senators have pledged to vote for cloture. There has been an claim that Republicans made concessions but Republican senators cal bullshit.; 11/9/25, 9:07 PM

Gospace said...: A point I haven't seen made about the end of insurance subsidies under the Unaffordable Care Act.

When Democrats, without a single Republican vote, passed the act, they included an end date for insurance subsidies.

In case you missed the point- Democrats, unanimously, voted in an end date for insurance subsidies. Without a single Republican vote.

An edn date to subsidies is what they voted for, and therefore- is what they wanted. So they are now getting- exactly what they voted for and what they wanted. And Republicans are simply helping them achieve what Democrats unanimously, without a single Republican vote, wanted.

Republicans are giving Democrats exactly what they voted for- an end to subsidies. So why are they all complaining? They should be rejoicing at Republican cooperation in achieving what they voted for- an end to subsidies.; 11/9/25, 9:12 PM
Kakistocracy said...: 👆The ACA was fully financed.

The budgetary cost of the legislation was that it was projected to reduce deficits by more than $200 billion over 10-years through a combination of taxes and budget cuts. Ultimately, that didn't happen.

What happened is that insurance companies took hundreds of millions of dollars and started electing Republicans (and later right-wing Democrats) who repealed funding cuts to the private Medicare Advantage program. Medical suppliers successfully lobbied to repeal the device makers tax.

One of the funding mechanism was a major cut to expensive publicly-backed private student loans for colleges. That was restored through lobbying. In 2015, Marco Rubio, when he was a Senator, repealed reinsurance coverage in the law, which resulted in the first battery of major premium spikes in November 2016 (helping to elect Trump).

The real problem is that the Democrats tried to appease reactionaries and big business, rather than just expanding the public Medicare insurance program to cover everyone.

What the Republicans are doing isn't exactly my preferred path to single-payer or nationalized health insurance, but it does help to re-open this matter as a political issue, because they aren't dealing with the real issue, which is that Americans have a bloated and inefficient payment and provider system that costs taxpayers and consumers an absurd amount of money for mediocre health outcomes. Based on the money we already pay, we should have universal health care that is free at the point of service.; 11/9/25, 9:17 PM
Mason G said...: "An edn date to subsidies is what they voted for, and therefore- is what they wanted."

What they wanted was to get the subsidies in place, and once in place, continuing them forever. Ending them was never on the agenda.; 11/9/25, 9:19 PM

n.n said...: Obamacare was financed to the tune of nearly 40 trillion dollars in federal debt, more in state debt, and the rest in consumer debt, with a progressive return on health care.; 11/9/25, 9:24 PM
