The news of that huge data breach against 145 million American credit files this summer appear to be only the tip of the iceberg. It nowe comes out that their whole system had multiple breaches going back to late in 2016, that Equifax management was notified in December and that they did absolutely nothing about it until June. During that time, just about anybody and everybody had access to the files and Equifax supposedly has no idea who could have used that access or how many times.
The flaw was discovered on a web page that seemed to be a portal for
employees, but anyone on the internet was able to access it and it contained multiple search boxes that allowed anyone to force the site
to display the personal information of Equifax's customers. They didn't
even need credentials to get to the search page!
Why?
Bear with me for a minute; this could be much bigger than we think. It makes absolutely no sense that such a huge organization would knowingly subject itself to the risk involved by leaving the access portals open. Any company in its right mind would close down all access until the vulnerabilities could be patched... to protect its clients and also to defend itself against lawsuits. Logically, it must have been a conscious decision to leave the access open.
Why?
Could it have been an arrangement to allow the Clinton-Obama machine to obtain information to be used against their enemies? I mean, now that they were out of office, their access to the use of government agencies to gather such evidence would be severely limited.
Just something to digest over the morning news...

DEMOCRATS: NORTH KOREA MUST NUKE US FIRST
There's a movement on among Congressional Democrats to pass a bill preventing the President from exercising a preemptive strike against North Korea. They're demanding that the President must first get permission from Congress to do so, and therefore cannot do anything until they actually attack us.
Here's the likely scenario: Reliable intelligence comes in that Kim Junk-un is going to nuke Los Angeles within the hour. The President calls Congress and requests permission to speak to a joint session and ask for permission for a preemptive strike. Two hours later, Congress agrees to allow him to speak, but the President withdraws his request and instead asks for $100 billion to go and bury 3 million residents of Los Angeles County who have just been nuked.
Democrats continue to have knee-jerk solutions to the nation's problems without thinking through to the results of their actions, don't they?
Dumb shits...

NEW CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIONS AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE
For several years, a House committee investigated Fast & Furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal and a litany of other "dastardly deeds" of Obama, Clinton, Holder, Lynch and Company. Despite of all of the rhetoric, nothing ever came of any of it; they had secret meetings, promising speeches... and everything just faded off into oblivion. They even went so far as to hold Eric Holder in contempt, but nothing ever happened over that either.
If we think having the Republicans in control of Congress is going to make any difference, we're sadly mistaken. Last year, several Members of the House wanted to look into the Clinton Foundation, the Russian connection, the Uranium One deal and Pay for Play, but they were shut down by House Leadership... the very same leadership still in charge today. Let's face it: The only one with any balls these days is one Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The House now says it wants to look into the FBI handling of the Clinton Emails and the Uranium One deal. Fangs bared, they vow to get to the bottom of it. Come on. Get real. To this very day, the State Department and the FBI are stonewalling and the Justice Department under such an "honest and pure" man as Jeff Sessions is not only refusing to do anything about it, but Sessions and his sidekick Rosenstein have successfully put in place a Robert Mueller plot to remove Trump from office. As a matter of fact, Congress has asked Sessions to lift the gag order imposed on a secret FBI witness who is willing to testify to some really bad things and Sessions won't even acknowledge the request.
So, the Republicans sit there, wringing their impotent hands while WE, the people, sit complacently by our TV sets complaining that the NFL is showing disrespect to our National Anthem. The plain simple truth of the matter is that these new "investigations" are going nowhere and we are wasting more taxpayer money trying to put on a dog and pony show for an American public that really doesn't give a rat's ass.
And I keep hollering and screaming about it, but nobody is listening.

DEMOCRATS DOUBLE DOWN ON OBAMACARE
Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, (not the name of a rock band), have decided that you and I need to fork over more money to keep ObamaCare afloat. They want to again subsidize the insurance companies with even more tax dollars, (record profits or not), and they expect you and me to willingly pay for it.
What's worse is that many Republicans, those who have failed time and again to live up to their promises to scuttle ObamaCare, now seem willing to join the Democrats in their quest to shove it down our throats.
Surely, for us to allow this to happen, we must admit we have turned ourselves into a nation of masochists.

WAY OUT IN THE OZONE LAYER
It seems to be magnanimous news; these "new revelations" about the Russian-Clinton-American uranium story are bouncing around conservatives as if they were just discovered yesterday. And the fact that the proceeds from these nefarious activities have ended up in the Clinton Foundation coffers while then Secretary of State Hillary allowed these things to happen is also suddenly "cropping up" as if we Americans didn't know about them at least a year or two ago. My various blog postings going back several years are full of such "new revelations."
Where has everybody been... out in the ozone layer?
The fact that the mainstream media went to huge efforts to cover these criminal activities up means that every single one of them and their reporters are just as guilty as the perpetrators themselves; they were part of the gang. But, you also had high government officials, both in Congress and in the various agencies of the executive branch, who also actively participated in what was, and still is in some respects, organized crime.
If you think this is all serious stuff, it is; but, it's all just the tip of the iceberg, and those of you who have not been vigilant, who have not been aware of what has been going on... well, you're guilty, too. After all... it is our government and it is our job to know what is going on within it.

MCCAIN DOESN'T BELIEVE IN AMERICA FIRST
One of the bastions of "the Washington establishment," Senator John McCain, came out strongly against Donald Trump's "America First" policy yesterday, insisting that our duty as a nation should be to the international community instead. "To abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the
obligations of international leadership for the sake of some half-baked,
spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find
scapegoats than solve problems," he said, "is as unpatriotic as an
attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned
to the ash heap of history."
Anybody who knows anything about the realities of life knows that you can't take care of others unless and until you take care of yourself. It's because of idiots like him that we have such a vast number of people in this country who are homeless, hungry, without adequate shelter and clothing and not receiving proper medical care while at the same time we send billions of dollars to overseas countries, many of which would just as soon spit on us as look at us.
Condescending, elitist dinosaurs like him need to be removed from our government, regardless of political party. That's the message we sent in November of 2016 and it needs to be hammered home again in November of 2018.
They are to blame; not us.

NFL TRIES TO DUCK THE BLAME
Just a little over a day after NFL's Roger Goodell said players "should" stand for the National Anthem, both CBS and the NFL Network declined to show the playing of the pre-game anthem at all during last Thursday's game between the Patriots and the Buccaneers.
Just how slimy can the NFL get?

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS NOT AN INVINCIBLE RIGHT
With any right granted by the Constitution comes a responsibility. The right to bear arms, for example, does not mean that a known and convicted killer has the right to own a gun; he gave up that right when he abused it. So it is that the press and the media, in exercising their rights to freedom of the press, have an obligation to use that freedom in a responsible way; if they don't, they lose the right.
The press and the media have the responsibility to the American public not to become a propaganda arm of any political party because, if the politicians control the press, who can we trust to tell us the truth? In virtually every case where a government has become an oppressor and has usurped freedoms of its citizens, the government has first controlled the press. So, when the press and the media start telling untruths and hiding the facts in order to placate and advance a political interest, they lose their rights to freedom of the press.
I believe it is time that we Americans put their feet to the fire. If we can prove that they are owned and/or controlled by a political faction, printing or broadcasting untruths and covering up crimes or other misdeed, we should shut them down. To hold otherwise is to say that someone can actually yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater and get away with it.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

GEORGE SOROS BEHIND NFL ANTI-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES
BizPac Review is reporting that George Soros and the NFL Players Association are now joined at the hip. The association "donated money to the Soros-funded Center for Community Change Action, a left-wing activist group that bankrolls anti-Trump protests." And, the association has financially supported at least two more left-wing,
anti-Trump activist groups. Not surprisingly, the
players union has defended football players’ rights to disrespect the
national anthem at NFL games.
Soros has spent millions of dollars on his anti-American, pro-left-wing-liberal agendas, but this doesn't mean that such associations have to take the money and turns their backs on America. And the fact that the NFL is not willing to stand up to these activities leaves a putrid, sick feeling in my stomach.
Are we are being eaten alive by the enemy?

THERE'S MORE TO STEPHEN PADDOCK THAN MEETS THE EYE
As you may have learned over the last day or two, there are a lot of things that go into long range shooting. (1) How many grains of powder in the cartridge? What kind of powder? In other words, what will be the explosive power behind the bullet as it comes out of the barrel of the gun? (2) How much does the bullet weigh, and what is its shape and metallic composition? How much friction will it produce in the air, how fast will it slow down? What are the aerodynamic characteristics of the bullet? (3) What will be the effect of gravity on the path of the bullet over 100 feet, 100 yards, 200 yards, etc.? (4) How fast is the wind blowing, and from what direction? What effect will that have on the path of the bullet over similar distances? (5) What is the relative humidity and how will the moisture content in the air affect the friction on the bullet? (6) What is the movement of the target, how fast and what direction? (7) What is the angle of the shot from level ground and how will that affect the above calculations?
These things all change according to the type and manufacture of the weapon being used.
I've heard it said that Paddock was a novice shooter with little or no military training. Frankly, novice shooters don't know spit about the above considerations or how to make the appropriate calculations, let alone how to employ them in actual shooting conditions. Someone told Paddock about all of these things. Someone trained Paddock on how to make the calculations and that the barrel of rapidly fired automatic weapons would quickly get too hot to touch. Someone had to put him through the paces of moving from one gun to another with smooth rapidity. He had to have someone to talk with about the logistics of getting the weapons and ammo into the hotel suite. He had to have some knowledge and experience in setting up a video surveillance system.
Steve Paddock did not work alone.

NANCY SINATRA: ALL MEMBERS OF NRA ARE MURDEROUS
Nancy Sinatra tweeted out that "murderous members of the NRA" should be executed by firing squad.
Well, Nancy, your boots were made for walking, so why don't you take a hike; a very long hike, like to Venezuela, Iran or North Korea.
Obviously, since she also despises Donald Trump, she now qualifies for dual membership in the Kathy Griffin Fan Club and the National Ninny Club.
Just out of idle curiosity, how many mass killings or murders have been committed by members of the NRA, not that that matters one iota to her?
Finally, have you noticed that every time one of these left-wing nutbags opens their mouth they prove how shallow their intellectual knowledge is?

NFL & ESPN: THE ULTIMATE DISGRACES TO AMERICA
ESPN had decided it was never going to show the playing of our National Anthem before a game again; that way, they reasoned, they would be out of the controversy. Well, naturally, I would respond that if you are not for America, you're against it. However, after the Vegas Massacre, they decided to display some semblance of respect and go ahead and show the anthem portion of Monday's night's game. How magnanimous of them.
With stadium flags at half-mast and America still in shock over Vegas, many NFL players still insisted on refusing to stand during that National Anthem. Quite a few of the Chiefs went ahead and sang the National Anthem, but ended it with the words "the Chiefs" instead of "the brave." Of course, the NFL itself has steadfastly continued to refuse to abide by its own bylaws and discipline the cowardly bastards.
I, on the other hand, happened to be sitting in a bar, and when the game came on the air, all TV's in the place were promptly turned off. A few patrons even stopped drinking their Buds and switched to Coors.
There are a lot of organizations around the country that are deciding right now not to have a Super Bowl Party this season, because they already know that nobody is going to show up. Of course, the NFL is quick to blame you and me for our hypersensitive feelings.
There's a huge, ugly battle going on in this country between the NFL and American patriotism. Who do you think is going to win?

MORE ON VEGAS... AND GUNS
Until law enforcement, the courts and Congress start devoting more time and effort to taking away guns from criminals instead of targeting law-abiding citizens, this problem will not stop.

THE BIG NASTY QUESTION
So, Tom Price resigned after getting caught flying a private jet at taxpayer expense to the tune of well over $500,000. He surely should have resigned his holier-than-thou job.
Now that he's resigned, what are the odds that he'll pay our government back for those flights?
Oh. One other question: Now that Chief of Staff John Kelly must approve all top-level travel... if we can't trust these yokels to abide by travel regs and do what is right for the taxpayer, why are they in their jobs?
Just sayin'....
