Batman:



neb:  Trump's boss is worried that the president will no longer brief him on classified US information, so he's making sure he gets access via other methods.

The Washington Post - How Republicans are spinning election fraud falsehoods now that many are acknowledging Biden’s win

 

today

 


The election is over, and more than five weeks later, top congressional Republicans are finally willing to publicly admit it.

 

But a number of them are not letting go of dubious fraud claims that they could use to try to undermine a Biden administration. ...

 

The message from Senate Republicans seems to be: Okay, Biden won, but there are reasons we should still maybe doubt it. ...

Naah, you know that's fake news, Trump's Twitter password is the same as the combination on his luggage.

DeVos urges career staff to ‘be the resistance’ as Biden takes over

 

 

“Let me leave you with this plea: Resist,” DeVos said. “Be the resistance against forces that will derail you from doing what’s right for students. In everything you do, please put students first — always.”

 

 

Or, to put it another way, "do the exact opposite of what I did during my term".

Says the current United States secretary of education who
  • Was born to billionaire parents

  • only ever attended a private Christian school

  • which students 94% white (1.4% African American)

  • in a city that's 67% white by comparison

  • never worked, attended or sent her kids to a public school

And also promulgated some really stupid ideas and policies about education.

 

And was only given the job because of her political donations.

The money offered in 'pay for evidence' encouraging evidence manufacture, giving nutters license to carjack, and potentially much worse.
This could have gone very badly as air-conditioning repair truck gets attacked, driver forced to ground at gunpoint.

Aguirre did not reveal to authorities that he had been paid $266,400 by the right-wing Liberty Center for God and Country, with $211,400 of that amount being deposited into his account the day after the incident, prosecutors said.

It's OK, he's an ex-cop and not black or latino, he'll probably get off with a warning.

The New York Times - Opinion - I Was the Homeland Security Adviser to Trump. We’re Being Hacked.

 

By Thomas P. Bossert

 

Mr. Bossert was the homeland security adviser to President Trump and to President George W. Bush.

 

today

 


At the worst possible time, when the United States is at its most vulnerable - during a presidential transition and a devastating public health crisis - the networks of the federal government and much of corporate America are compromised by a foreign nation.

 

Last week, the cybersecurity firm FireEye said it had been hacked and that its clients, which include the United States government, had been placed at risk.

 

This week, we learned that SolarWinds, a publicly traded company that provides software to tens of thousands of government and corporate customers, was also hacked.

 

The attackers gained access to SolarWinds software before updates of that software were made available to its customers. Unsuspecting customers then downloaded a corrupted version of the software, which included a hidden back door that gave hackers access to the victim’s network.

 

This is what is called a supply-chain attack, meaning the pathway into the target networks relies on access to a supplier. 

 

Supply-chain attacks require significant resources and sometimes years to execute. They are almost always the product of a nation-state.

 

Evidence in the SolarWinds attack points to the Russian intelligence agency known as the S.V.R., whose tradecraft is among the most advanced in the world.

 

According to SolarWinds S.E.C. filings, the malware was on the software from March to June.

 

The number of organizations that downloaded the corrupted update could be as many as 18,000, which includes most federal government unclassified networks and more than 425 Fortune 500 companies.

 

The magnitude of this ongoing attack is hard to overstate. ... we must act as if the Russian government has control of all the networks it has penetrated.  ...

 

We are sick, distracted, and now under cyberattack. Leadership is essential.

 

 

 

 

We are living in interesting times.   😐

I remember after the orange buffoon was inaugurated, getting some spam in an infrequently-used Hotmail address inviting me to purchase a genuine Trump inauguration coin. I thought to myself, you couldn't even give me one of those, never mind make me pay anything for that crap.

 

I do sometimes wonder if they got many takers.

 

Edit: also, another private message from Nathan. Anyone else get one?
