Andrew J. Bowen is a former columnist for the website “Arab News”. He is apparently vying for a job with the Trump administration, and, in order to make himself look better to them, he’s asked “Arab News” to take down all of his previous pro-Hillary anti-Trump columns. They have declined. The website also said, “Mr. Bowen also insinuated — verbally and in writing — that he will seek the support of influential friends and contacts to help remove the articles.”. He is no longer associated with the site. > **[Here’s What Happened When a Trump Admin Hopeful Tried to Delete His...](https://www.motherjones.com/media/2017/04/arab-news-trump-admin-andrew-bowen-lol/)** > > "We wish Mr. Bowen the best of luck in his job application." ---

The R-R-R federal government passed a law to stifle an FCC rule prohibiting ISPs from selling your browsing history howsoever they see fit. We have been pretty much aware of this, those of us who understand the issue (which is a tad less befuddling than net neutrality). Public opinion on the matter looks [very bad](http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/tabs_HP_Online_Privacy_20170330.pdf) for them. We shall see if the loyal opposition can gain traction with this. ---

[DHS won’t rule out arresting crime victims, witnesses](http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/dhs-wont-rule-out-arresting-crime-victims-witnesses/ar-BBzmlbo) Now illegal aliens can be victimized at will, because they cannot go to the police. And they cannot tell what they know about crimes…because they cannot go to the police. DHS just fucked local law enforcement agencies everywhere. > [@](#): > > The comments by Homeland Security spokesman David Lapan at a news briefing come amid concerns by local officials that Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents are making arrests in courthouses.
