Trump Hires Big Brother

   Buried behind all the government gobbledygook in an executive order signed by the president is a plan to monitor where people are, what they're doing and who they're talking to in the name of "making America safe."
   It's called "Strengthening national resilience through responsible use of positioning, navigation, and timing services," which the executive order called "important steps to help secure America's critical infrastructure."
   Say what?
   The plan would pull together services provided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) and integrate them with private sector monitoring systems to promote better use of government systems.
   The newly revised system will be available free to public and private sector entities nationwide, fulfilling the president's promise to "make America safe and resilient."
   The end result is that Big Brother will monitor your devices and will know where you are, what you bought and how much you paid, who you're talking to and for how long. The good part is that authorities will be able to track those intent on harm. The not-so-good part is that they will be tracking everyone.
