NET NEUTRALITY TIME

Submitted by Admin on

The time is here to make a stand on Net Neutrality. The Obama administration says that more than any other invention of our time, the Internet has unlocked possibilities we could just barely imagine a generation ago. And here's a big reason we've seen such incredible growth and innovation: Most Internet providers have treated Internet traffic equally.

New Jersey Governor Christie has new political pressures on his back, which could make him lose weight, sleep, or perhaps the opportunity to run for president over the next few months.

He previously boasted from his bully pulpit that bipartisan reforms in NJ would save New Jersey’s pension system from bankruptcy. However, a judge has ruled that the good governor violated the law. Superior Court Judge MC Jacobson has dealt a stinging rebuke of Christie’s smooth moves, and empty promises which reneged on the landmark deasl he once bragged about.

NOAA's site says that over half of the U.S. is snow-covered now. In fact, there has been snow on the ground in 48 of The United States of America. People in the Midwest, Northeast, South and West are all getting sick and tired of this cold weather.

A storm system and arctic cold front will bring winter weather to parts of the western and southern U.S. through Monday. Heavy snow will be possible across higher elevations from California into the Rockies. A wintry mix of snow, sleet, rain and freezing rain will be possible from New Mexico into the Gulf Coast states.

AMERICAS MAYOR STRIKES OUT

Regardless of what you think and how you feel about the way US President is doing his job, does not allow one to distort the facts. There is a difference between news and views, or facts and opinions.

It appears to some that the tittle has gone to his head, as he continues to say horrible things bbout Obama

As CBS News colleague Steve Croft said, Bob Simon used to say he was a Jewish kid from the Bronx. Bob didn't tell you that he was also Phi Beta Kappa, had been a Fulbright scholar, or that he went on to become television's quintessential foreign correspondent.

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to briefly meet my Tocayo, Bob Simon and I even got to sign the huge welcome home card CBS News gave him, Peter Bluff, Juan Caldera and Roberto Alvarez after they were all released, following 40 days inside a prison in Iraq. Bob was truly a journalism jewel.
