FBI raids Dem politician's home re: hack of Tucker Carlson

An FBI raid took place on the home of a local Tampa Bay, FL politician and her husband that's reportedly involving a federal criminal investigation into a hack of Tucker Carlson. If the FBI remains true to form, this raid will be perfunctory and nothing will come of it.

The alleged culprits in the raid that went down earlier this month were far-Left blogger Timmy Burke and his far-Left wife and Tampa City Council member Lynn Hurtak.

The Tampa Bay Times reportedly received a letter that federal prosecutors sent to former conservative news outlet Fox News that described “an ongoing criminal probe into computer hacks at the company, including unaired video from Tucker Carlson’s show.”

You might remember that before Fox News went over to the dark side, Tucker had his own show but they basically fired him for reporting news and possibly due to pressure put on by the Dominion Voting Systems company and their lawsuit against the former news outlet.

While the letter does not mention blogger Burke, multiple sources familiar with the matter told the publication that the raid of the home is connected with the alleged hacks of Fox News. Results of the investigation are expected to coincide with the re-arrival of the Hale Bopp comet.

The investigation [if that's what it really is] centers around the leak of unaired footage of Carlson’s interview with now-disgraced anti-Semite and dirty-word rapper Kanye West and numerous video leaks in recent weeks that were published by the leftist organization Media Matters.

The letter said that Vice News, which published the Kanye West clips; Media Matters; and Fox News employees were not accused of any wrongdoing in the investigation, but they might keep an eye on Geraldo, just in case.

Burke has gone radio silent ever since the raid and has largely stopped posting content online.

The report said that the letter outlined numerous federal statutes that may have been violated, including unauthorized computer access, interception of communications, conspiracy, and other crimes. President Biden promises that if any federal statutes are violated, he will have them removed from campus.

Assange indicted on 18 counts, alleged coordination with Manning to leak security docs

A federal grand jury returned an 18-count superseding indictment on Thursday and charged WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange with a number of offenses over his alleged role in one of the largest leaks of classified information in U.S. history.

It's alleged in the indictment that Assange coordinated with former Army intelligence analyst then-Bradley, now-Chelsea Manning to leak classified documents related to U.S. war and diplomacy efforts around the world.

U.S. officials say Assange worked in concert with Manning to hack into a classified government computer, kind of espionage-ish.

Manning, who served only a few years in prison for leaking to WikiLeaks, was again jailed in March after he refused to testify to a grand jury regarding WikiLeaks.

Ben Brandon, a U.S. government attorney, said in court earlier this month that American investigators had acquired details of communications between Manning and Assange in 2010. The two had allegedly “engaged in real time discussions regarding Chelsea Manning’s dissemination of confidential records to Mr. Assange.” 

Brandon said that the downloaded records from a classified computer included 90,000 Afghanistan war activity reports, 250,000 State Department cables, 400,000 Iraq war reports, and 800 Guantanamo Bay detainee assessments.

Earlier this month, Assange, 47, told a British court he would not agree to be extradited to the U.S. where he’s facing the charges of conspiracy to hack a classified Pentagon computer.

He addressed the court on May 2 via video link from a prison in London, saying he wouldn’t “surrender myself for extradition for doing journalism that has won many awards and protected many people.”

Hacking into a classified computer isn't journalism. It's espionage and if Assange is found guilty, which he probably would be, he would face extremely long prison time.

That May 2 hearing came just a day after the WikiLeaks founder was sentenced to 50 weeks in prison in the U.K. for jumping bail in 2012 and hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in an effort to avoid extradition to Sweden where he was wanted for questioning over rape and sexual assault allegations.

Assange rape case to be reopened by Swedish prosecutors

Making a "White Power" fist, Assange faces
extradition to the US

Swedish prosecutors will be reopening a rape case against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, at the request of the alleged victim's lawyer.

The case's reopening comes a month after he was basically thrown out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. His leaving wasn't pretty, though, as it was reported that he smeared feces on the walls and was kicking and screaming as he was manhandled out of the embassy.

Sweden's deputy director of public prosecutions Eva-Marie Persson announcement the plan at a news conference in Stockholm. She said that “there is still a probable cause to suspect that Assange committed a rape.”

Swedish prosecutors filed preliminary charges against Assange, a probable agent of Russia, after he visited the country in 2010. Assange denied the charges and has avoided extradition by seeking refuge in London's Ecuadorian embassy.

Seven years later, a case of alleged sexual misconduct was dropped when the statute of limitations expired. That left a rape allegation, which couldn't be pursued while Assange was living at the embassy. The statute of limitations on that case expires in August 2020.

Mr. Bradley/Chelsea Manning

Assange was evicted from the embassy last month and sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for violating his bail.

The United States has also begun extradition proceedings for Assange's alleged role in leaking diplomatic and military secrets in 2010. The evidence for his involvement with Chelsea [aka Bradley] Manning is overwhelming and if he is extradited back to the US and stands trial, it is highly probable that he will be convicted and spend some serious time in prison, where he belongs.

Assange is not a journalist by any stretch of the definition. He allegedly stole classified information by allegedly hacking into a US government computer system, and put it all out on the internet without perusing it. Moreover, he did not reveal the data for any journalistic intention other than to create a public shock.

Muslim activists hack ISIS' news agency

You have to love stories like this: a group of Muslim activists hacked into "secure" ISIS servers after the scumquat terrorists boldly announced that it strengthened its online security following a series of cyber attacks on its news agency Amaq.

"In response to recent events, we have imposed more stringent security measures on our systems," ISIS wrote in an Arabic email. "We can now handle email attacks or any type of hack."

"Challenge accepted," tweeted the Muslim hackers who operate under the name Di5s3nSi0N and use the hashtag #SilenceTheSwords.

You gotta love these guys. 

In just about three hours, the hackers tweeted: "Challenge complete--too easy! 2000 email subscribers hacked from Amaq . . . What is next??"

To prove their point, the hackers posted all 2,000 email addresses of Amaq subscribers online.

Amaq distributes ISIS propaganda and also announces terror attacks around the world. As ISIS' power base keeps shrinking because they're getting their hairy butts kicked, Amaq's online presence also is shrinking. 

The agency was hacked a number of times and now only communicates with its depraved supporters solely on Telegram, an encrypted messaging app.

The Muslim hackers are vowing to destroy ISIS' online presence by November 17, 2017.

"Daesh [ISIS] stained our streets and fields red from our martyrs. The tears of the ummah will wash them clean. And we wash them from their internet hiding places! Our vengeance will be on 17.11.17," they announced.

Di5s3nSi0N's logo states: "We are the bugs in your system," and they go on to taunt ISIS saying, "Daesh . . . shall we call you dogs for your crimes or snakes for your cowardice?"

In an almost perfect world, the hackers would figure a way to make ISIS computers catch on fire and burn them in the process. 

In a totally perfect world there would be no ISIS and their prophet Mohammed would have been a lot like Jesus.

Still, it's good to see that some Muslims are taking an active role in fighting this scourge.

Man-spreading lies

President Trump and President Putin shook hands, smiled at each other, 'man-spread' in chairs and sized each other up. 

Trump really needed to understand this little man who once was a KGB agent and likes to do stuff shirtless to show off his Photoshopped pecks. Trump needed to know Putin and how to deal with the guy who is alleged to have hacked into our presidential election last year and who he is accused of colluding with.

The meeting opened with Trump expressing "the concerns of Americans" about Russian interference, as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson explained. He said the discussion was "robust and lengthy," like drinking a good cup of coffee slowly. Trump supposedly returned to the discussion of the Russian meddling several times, Tillerson emphasized.

And while we don't have Trump's exact words, US media immediately went after him for not referring to his concerns about intrusions. Chris Matthews went after him and Putin for spreading their legs out as far as the chairs would allow, and CNN's Jim Acosta said he wished that he never met Donald J. Trump. Ever!

The fact is, if Trump approached the subject of the election intrusion broadly, he did it exactly right. Everyone agrees that no foreign intervention in our election or other constitutional processes is acceptable.

So what did Trump come away with in their meeting?

He got to smell the borscht on Putin's breath and see him look straight into his eyes after he asked him about the hacking. And he got to see Putin lie to him with a straight face and scripted smile.

CNN saw the two men blink in Morse code at each other. "The collusion was palpable," one anonymous reporter said. "You could cut it with a sickle."

But here's a caveat (a word I rarely get to use): if anyone in the Trump administration believes for one second that Putin doesn't lie to us, believe it at your own peril.

Hillary wants to do what Trump did

The Woods -- In her first interview since her second miserable failure to win the presidency, Hillary Clinton called for the U.S. to bomb Syrian air fields Thursday.

Hillary came out of the woods and interviewed at the Women in the World Summit in New York. She also called Russia's interference in the election she should have won, a theft more damaging than Watergate, but not as great as the theft of the lives of four Americans in Benghazi.

Asked if she now believes that her biggest failure was not taking a tougher stand against Syria as secretary of state under President Obama, she said she favored more aggressive action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"I think we should have been more willing to confront Assad," she said to Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times, a far left so-called newspaper.

"I really believe we should have and still should take out his air fields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them."

Then later that day, President Trump did exactly that--he bombed the Shayrat airfield near Homs, stealing Hillary's thunder. 

The former presidential election two-time loser reminded Kristof that she had advocated for a no-fly zone in Syria after leaving government. It was something weak-kneed Obama feared to do and admittedly suffered a severe case of "the willies" when he learned that about our Cruise Tomahawk missile barrage on a Syrian airfield.

Even many Democrats liked Trump's ploy and Fareed Zakaria said on CNN that he believed the surgical attack was Trump's transition into becoming our president. (That's what happens when you're Zakaria and you have your head stuck up in your nether regions because you needed a quiet place to cry after the 2016 presidential election.)

Clinton's lies came two days after the poison gas attack that killed no less than 70 men, women and children in Syria. 

It was the photos of the "beautiful little babies" that seemed to be the catalyst, this time, that got President Trump to respond to Assad's barbarity. Assad's 2013 poison gas attack that killed men, women and children didn't have the same effect, but Trump wasn't president then and he may have gained a new perspective on the death of babies. 

It certainly didn't get Obama to do anything about it either.

After the Assad attack on Thursday, Mr. Trump said that "something should happen" with Assad as military options were being considered.

When Hillary was asked more specifically about Russian interference in the election she lost again, she called for a bipartisan investigation.

"I don't want any Republican candidate to be subjected to what I was subjected to," she lied. "I don't want anybody running campaigns to have their communication stolen." Hillary's password is alleged to have been Kill.Bill123.

"It was a more effective theft even than Watergate," the policy-less former candidate told Kristof in front of an audience of 3,000 low-information liberals at New York's Lincoln Center.

"We aren't going to let somebody sitting in the Kremlin, with bots and trolls, try to mix up our election. We've got to end that and we have to make sure that is a bipartisan, American commitment."

Had they only used a cloth on her hard drive after each use, the Russians would've never had the goods on the Democrats.

Clinton attributed her loss this time to both WikiLeaks and FBI Director James Comey's sending a letter to Congress just days before the election saying he was reinstating an investigation into her emails. In other words, losing the election had nothing to do with her and her failure to offer a coherent policy and campaign in states she thought she didn't need to worry about. (You should've heard her scream at her 'nightmare team' when she learned she lost.)

When asked if it was bittersweet to see the Trump administration screw up in the early days, she declined to agree, but her smirk gave it away.

"I don't take any pleasure in seeing the kind of chaotic functioning," she lied.

Hillary said she has no intention of running for another public office and the American public has no intention of electing her to one. She is writing a book, she says, that partially lies about what derailed her attempt to become America's "FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAAAAA!"

"For people who are interested in this, the nearly 66 million people who voted for me, I want to give as clear and as credible an explanation as I can." [Translation: "For liberals who will believe anything I say, I want to shovel them just enough horse plop that they'll nominate Chelsea in 2020 and beat Trump.")

FBI's mole hunters going after CIA leaker

Hopefully Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, will one day get caught outside the sanctuary of London's Ecuadorian embassy that's housing him and be brought to the US to stand trial. 

Within 24 hours since WikiLeaks published what they call the "entire hacking capacity of the CIA," the FBI launched a criminal probe to determine who the mole is that provided them with the documents.

According to experts tracking down this traitor will be quite difficult, but not impossible.

The 2010 leak by Army Pvt. Bradley (aka Chelsea) Manning forced Pres. Obama to create a group dedicated to tracking down and catching government leakers. Manning was caught after revealing the extent of his actions to an American hacker who later testified against him. Soon after that, Obama announced the creation of the National Insider Threat Task Force (NITTF).

Since being incarcerated, Manning announced that he believes he's a woman and plans to have surgery to remove his male genitals in order to reinforce the fallacy. For now, he wears a wig and lipstick and tries to speak several octaves higher than he did in the past, and only sings in falsetto.

Hopefully, FoxNews.com will come to its senses about Manning and not go along with his nonsense in the future.

According to its website, the NITTF was formed "to prevent, deter and detect compromises of classified information by malicious insiders."

The NITTF pointed out in a tweet this week that "all of the firewalls in the world won't stop an insider who is already on the inside of these firewalls." 

Just ask Edward Snowden.

Guccifer doubts the Russians hacked the DNC

Marcel Lehel Lazar (aka Guccifer) the 44-year-old Romanian hacker, spoke from a Romanian prison about the alleged Russian "hacking" of the Democrats during the presidential election campaign. He doubts the Obama administration's allegations about the cyberattacks ever happened.

Lazar referred to the allegations as part of "a fake cyber war." He went on to say that "Americans are crazy about the Russian thing and that Russians are invading the United States." He suggested the allegations are overblown because of Cold War sensitivities. "It's crazy . . . it's this hysteria you know?"

Lazar had been sentenced to prison in both the U.S. and Romania for his hacking and taunting of major celebrity and political figures. He will finish his sentence in Romania in 2019 and returned here to the U.S. where he faces 52 months after pleading guilty to two counts of a nine-count indictment.

He was the first to expose Hillary Clinton's use of the private Clintonmail.com address which ultimately led to the identification of her personal account illegally used for all government business and for which she has not been charged due to her last name.

The FBI and Obama administration are now turning their attention to the alleged Russian hacking of Democratic accounts, one of which (Podesta's) was "password protected" using the word 'password' as the password, something even the idiots on The View would have known was a bad idea. The administration is blaming the hacking for the reason Clinton lost the election, not that she called Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables" and that she sucks as a candidate. 

Imagine how stupid John Podesta is to have used 'password' as his password. Then to have clicked on a link that phished for his information.

Imagine how arrogant the DNC and Clinton leadership is to say the things they did and to conspire to beat Sanders and make fun of him.

Blaming Russia for outing the truth is simply conflating what is important--the truth!

Sean Spicer claims no 'conclusive evidence' Russia hacked DNC emails

The Trump team on Monday made it clear that it isn't clear that Russia executed a cyber-attack on the presidential race. "Rushing to judgment on stuff like this is not in anybody's best interest," Sean Spicer, incoming White House Communications Director said on "Fox & Friends" Monday.

Spicer said that Trump isn't disputing statements made by U.S. intelligence officials, but instead is waiting for a final report due later in the week that could provide more conclusive evidence.

"Then I think we'll have a better idea of what to make to the situation," he said. 

Several U.S. intelligence agencies have claimed that Russia was behind the hacking and release of John Podesta's emails from the DNC, but if you know anything about who runs some of these intelligence agencies, you might not be totally convinced that they're telling the whole truth.

Last week, Obama had 35 Russian diplomats expelled who are believed to be spies and involved with the email hack. The Russian compounds, which are large mansions, in New York and Maryland have been since closed.

Hillary Clinton's team and supporters believe the hacked emails, contributed to her upset loss to Donald Trump because the public got to see how little she and her team think of the American people. 

They never disputed the validity of the emails, only where they came from. 

Obama, who only reacted to the email hack after the election but knew about the hacking beforehand, said the investigation and sanctions were in the interest of protecting the U.S. election system especially if the GOP wins.

Spicer suggest that Obama's actions were politically motivated.

When Obama pees, it's politically motivated.

"There is a question about whether there's a political retribution here versus a diplomatic response, he told ABC on Sunday.

Regarding Trump's New Year's Eve comments about "know(ing) things that other people don't know," about the hacking, Spicer said that Trump gets briefed daily and this is "privy to information that nobody else is. What he's driving at is that there doesn't seem to be conclusive evidence."

Spicer also dismissed the FBI and Homeland Security report supporting the accusations against Russia, and called the report a "how-to" manual on basic cybersecurity for Democrats. He said the report isn't even final but is being taken "as gospel."

Interestingly, Spicer pointed out that in 2015 China stole sensitive information from millions of Americans, including federal workers, and Obama failed to issue "a single statement."

Or get off the golf course.

Donald Trump will meet this week with intelligence officials to get more input about the allegations against Moscow.

Trump said, "I know a lot about hacking. And hacking is a very hard thing to prove, so it could be somebody else."

Like that 400 pound couch potato.

Russian malware in VT aimed at melting New Year's ice cream

Burlington, VT -- In a blatant Russian-linked malware attack on an electric company's laptop, there can be no doubt that Vladimir Putin is doing all he can to disrupt the production of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream in Vermont, not to mention its maple syrup.

The difficult part to swallow, no pun intended, is that it comes at a time when the country is about to celebrate the New Year, and everyone knows how important alcohol and ice cream is in celebratory events, not to mention maple syrup.

The Burlington Electric Department confirmed Friday that on one of their laptops the malware code used is Grizzly Steppe, the name Homeland Security has applied to a Russian operation linked to recent attacks (but has refused to call Islamic extremism "Islamic extremism") was found. The company said U.S. utilities were alerted by the DHS on Thursday of the code. 

"This attack shows how rampant Russian hacking is," said Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) in a statement. "Attempting to halt the production of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and Vermont Maple Syrup is not only unconscionable, but it is also cruel, as Americans  in every corner of our great nation enjoy these commodities as part of the celebration, joy and hope the New Year brings." 

Welch said the breach proves that sanctions lame duck President Obama took against Russia this week was warranted, although it seemed more like a loose, limp-wrist slap on Putin's hand rather than something manly.

Russia denied hacking U.S. systems but was 'outed' by the Obama administration after Hillary Clinton lost the election, in spite of our knowledge that this was being done for quite some time.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (Leftist-VT) said that this discovery of the malware "goes beyond hackers having electronic joy rides," which makes one wonder what Sen. Leahy does for fun. 

It was The Washington Post who first reported on the malware discovery. Burlington Electric, a municipally owned company, confirmed in an email to the AP that it found the malware in a laptop not connected to its grid systems and said it took "immediate action to isolate the laptop and alerted federal officials."

"Our team is working with federal officials to trace this malware and prevent any other attempts to infiltrate utility systems," the company said.

Neither Ben, nor Jerry could be reached for comment about this abhorrent Russian attempt, not to mention the Vermont Maple Syrup Company.

The utility company said it had briefed state officials and would fully support an investigation into the potential Russian hack. 

Had the hack been successful, there is no telling how much ice cream would have been ruined and how great the additional suffering would have been to be left without electricity in the New England winter, but fortunately, with global warming, fewer lives would have been at risk.

"Vermonters and all Americans should be both alarmed and outraged that one of the world's leading thugs, (Russian President) Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to hack our electric grid, which we rely upon to support our quality-of-life, economy, health and safety," Gov. Peter Shumlin (Duh) said in a statement. 

"Now we can go forward and hate Donald Trump with abandon, and without having to worry about the other thug," he added.

This could have been much more serious than it turned out to be since the laptop was discovered in time.

The DNI and CIA don't agree with Russian hack assessment

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the agency that oversees our entire intelligence community, does not fully concur with the CIA finding that Russia interfered in the U.S. elections in an effort to help Donald Trump win.

Several U.S. election-related hacking incidents are being categorized as if they are related, but DNI believes they should be treated as separate events. 

The hacking involves breaches at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and another campaign arm. It also involves an email account of a top campaign official for Clinton, and at state election boards.

Although ODNI doesn't dispute the CIA analysis on the Russian hacking, the office isn't convinced that Moscow sought specifically to help Trump beat Clinton. So, it is intent that's at issue here.

The CIA made the call regarding Russia's intent based solely on the fact that only Democratic information was leaked. The ODNI official said that this is a "thin reed upon which to base an analytical judgment."

Perhaps the fact that Donald Trump and other Republicans did not have a private email server hidden in a bathroom closet in Colorado may have made it somewhat more difficult for the Russians to hack the GOP.

Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta, was the person whose email was hacked and he is backing the call for electors to get an intelligence briefing on the situation with Russian interference in the election.

The difference of opinion between the CIA and ODNI was first revealed in a letter on Monday from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) to Director of Intelligence and Ed Rollins lookalike, James Clapper. It noted that the CIA findings conflicted with Clapper's public testimony in mid-November.

"On November 17, 2016, you told the Committee during an open hearing that the IC [Intelligence Community] lacked strong evidence connecting Russian government cyberattacks and WikiLeaks disclosures," Nunes wrote.

Clapper, in response to a question from ranking Democrat Adam Schiff, said "As far as the WikiLeaks connection, the evidence there is not as strong and we don't have good insight into the sequencing of the releases or when the data may have been provided. We don't have as good insight into that."

Nunes is requesting a briefing from the CIA and FBI on the current assessment of alleged involvement by Russia as it relates to our election--he wants it by Dec. 16 as the electors are to cast their votes for the presidential selection on Dec. 19.

The Post reported that the FBI gave a different account on Russian interference and that the CIA assessment was based, in part, on intelligence indicating Moscow's hacking disproportionately affected Democratic targets.

Fed. judge rejects PA recount bid

The Green Party-backed push for a presidential election recount in key battleground states in which Hillary Clinton lost, was dealt a blow by a federal judge, rejecting their nonsensical request to recount paper ballots in the Keystone State, aka Pennsylvania. The request was to also scan some county systems for signs of hacking.

But the only hacking one gets with paper ballots is the hacking down of trees to make the paper. 

The anemic Green Party has also tried to get recounts in Michigan and Wisconsin, and although the Wisconsin recount is nearly done, a federal judge halted Michigan's recount last week. This is another setback for Jill Stein and her cohorts.

U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond said there existed 6 grounds for rejection of the Green Party lawsuit, which had been opposed by Donald Trump, the Pennsylvania Republican Party and the Pennsylvania attorney general's office.

Diamond wrote that suspicion of a hacked Pennsylvania election "borders on the irrational."

"Most importantly, there is no credible evidence that any 'hack' occurred, and compelling evidence that Pennsylvania's voting system was not in any way compromised," he wrote, and added that the lawsuit suffered from a lack of standing, potentially the lack of federal jurisdiction and an "unexplained, highly prejudicial" wait before filint last week's lawsuit, four weeks after the November 8th election. 

The lawyers for Stein and company aren't sure if they're going to appeal "But one thing is clear," said the lawyer Ilann Maazel, "The Pennsylvania election system is not fair to voters and voters don't know if their votes counted, andthat's a very large problem."

No, the very large problem is from people like Stein who put doubts in our election system and only do it to fill the coffers of her leftist party whose only real global ideas come from their relationship with plants.

Scout gets 4 years, Hillary gets free pass

Christopher Correa, a former baseball scout for the St. Louis Cardinals, was sentenced to four years in prison Monday for hacking the database of the Houston Astros' player personnel and email system. 

It's a case of high-tech cheating to which Correa had pleaded guilty to five counts of unauthorized access of a protected computer from 2013 to 2014. 

Correa was fired last summer and ordered to pay the approximate equivalent to a 20-minute Hillary Clinton speaking fee of $279,038 in restitution. He's not quite as lucky as Hillary Clinton, but he faced up to five years in prison for each count and is only getting four years in the slammer. That's a relatively good deal for him.

Of course, Hillary was even luckier by getting a scolding without an indictment, but let's face it, Christopher Correa is no Hillary Clinton--he confessed to his wrongdoing.

The shamed former scout is free on bond and will report to the federal slammer in six weeks.

Correa read a heartfelt letter in court before his sentencing by U.S. District Judge Lynn N. Hughes, who admittedly, is no James Comey. 

Correa said he was "overwhelmed with remorse and regret for my actions" that cost him his career and his home. Hillary is overwhelmed with joy that she got away with it on her end.

"I violated my values and it was wrong. I behaved shamefully," he said. "The whole episode represents the worst thing I've done in my life by far."

But is the personal email server the worse thing Hillary has ever done in her life so far? 

Probably not.

Hughes said Correa's actions were mainly about a loss of trust and admitted that in spite of the episode, as a woman, she is still voting for Hillary Clinton for President, "because if she can get away scot-free with her email server situation and compromise the national security, she can get away with anything, and that's what we need in a president. That and a uterus."


Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. blamed the hack on "roguish behavior" by a few people who may have been influenced by the outcome handed down by James Comey in his decision not to advise indicting Mrs. Clinton.

DeWitt said in an interview, "That poor bas**rd Correa figured he wasn't doing anything wrong compared to what the former Secretary of the freaking State was doing. Boy, was he surprised when the judge threw the book at him. Let's face it, he's no Hillary Clinton."

Guccifer may dethrone the Queen of Benghazi

Marcel Lehel Lazar (aka Guccifer) the Romanian hacker who said he breached Hillary Clinton's personal email server is finalizing a deal with the  FBI. 

Lazar, 44, told officials  in mid-April that he wanted to cooperate with the U.S. government about Clinton's illegal server and is working on a plea deal. He has stopped talking to the media in early May and although he originally pleaded not guilty, he is now expected to plead guilty to some of the charges.

Hillary is likely very nervous, but it isn't known if the deal Guccifer worked out has anything to do with federal cooperation regarding her server investigation. But if it does, I believe she isn't going to be our first gender card-pulling POTUS.

An intelligence source said that if Lazar pleads guilty to compromising Sidney Blumenthal's AOL email account, which is one of the charges against the hacker, it will unmask Hillary's lie claiming that she never put sensitive information on her personal email server, which made it accessible to hacking.

The source said that "[Clinton's] gross negligence allowed this material to get out to an adversary. Through her communications with Blumenthal, [Clinton] contributed exposure and risk."

Clinton was ordered by Obama not to involve Blumenthal in her State Department dealings and she did so anyway. 

Clinton was schooled on government security and knew full well that she was not allowed to use a private email server for government business, and she did so anyway.

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for an incompetent person who never told a lie she didn't like, who attacked her husband's accusers of sexual misconduct, and who failed the Washington D.C. bar exam.

The only reason she has been able to go as far as she has thus far, is because of who her husband is. And that ain't so hot.

One can only hope the Department of Justice does the right thing and indict the Queen of Benghazi.

Dubai WiFi fatwa

Dubai, UAE -- Dubai's religious Islamic authorities say that stealing WiFi from your neighbor's router is un-Islamic. Under sharia (aka Islamic law) when a person steal, say, a loaf of bread, the thief has his hands chopped off. 

With WiFi the punishment is not so clear. Perhaps they remove his mouse or monitor so he or she cannot put in a password.

The real problem is that it's too easy stealing WiFi in Islamic countries. Everyone's password is "Mohammad" or "Muhammed," or some derivative of Mohammed. Mahmoud perhaps.

So now Dubai's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department has declareda fatwa. 

Fatwas come in all colors. There can be a fatwa issued to say, kill Salman Rushdie for writing a book called "Satanic Verses," or a fatwa issued to kill the guy who put pig's blood on a wall of a mosque. There can be a fatwa against people who have negative opinions about jihad murder, blatant Islamic anti-Semitism, and the like. 

Fatwas are easy to declare if you're an imam.

The fatwa declared by Dubai's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department was available online on the department's website, but an infidel hacker stealing free WiFi from a neighbor deleted it with this message:

"I will continue stealing WiFi wherever I find it. You will never find me for I will be like an invisible camel on the desert of darkness. Others will pay for the WiFi that I will take from them. They will be like geeks without chickens. Allahu Akbar!"

Dubai's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department deals with many religious questions asked by readers of the online blog. When the reader asking about the WiFi situation posted the question as to whether or not it was okay to steal WiFi, the department said, "There is nothing wrong in using the line if your neighbors allow you to do so, but if they don't allow you, you may not use it."

"This is heavy, philosophical stuff," said John Brennan, Director of the CIA and visitor of the Hajj, a place where only Muslims may visit. "Imagine the immense thought that went into saying that using your neighbor's WiFi without their permission is stealing. I wonder what gets cut off in this instance if they get caught," Brennan said.

Will these attacks happen today?

You know them as Anonymous, a group of online activists who recently have vowed to fight against ISIS.

Yesterday, Anonymous said they discovered intel claiming ISIS plans an assault at the WWE Survivor Series event at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA on Sunday, today, at 7:30 pm EST. They also plan other attacks including multiple events in Paris and the hacker group lists them (see below).

Anonymous wrote in this statement: "The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen. Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks, which will disorient them for a while."

The list is as follows: 

1. Demonstration by Collectif du Droit des Femmes (Paris)

2. Concrete Invites Drumcode: Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joel Mull at Concrete (Paris) 

3.  Cigales Electroniques with Vocodecks, RE-Play & Rawtor at Le Bizen (Paris)

4. Feast of Christ the King celebrations (Rome/worldwide)

5. Al-Jihad, One Day Juz (Indonesia)

6. Five Finger Death Punch (Milan)

7. Universal Pastoral Day (Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Lebanon)

Anonymous said: "We only appeared now because our goal was to remain undercover and report everything to the right authorities and let them take all the action. But when authorities do not take action, Anonymous does. This part of the op started last Monday and has [been] and will be active 24 hours a day as long as the op is going on."

The group said they have informed the CIA, FBI, MI5, and the Australian government. They have not released the proof they used to make their findings. Of course, it is entirely possible that the proof is bogus and they are being manipulated by ISIS. 

But who knows?

If the attacks happen, Anonymous is proven right. If the attacks do not happen, was it because Anonymous helped prevent them from happening?

Like I said, who knows?

China hacked us, Hillary screwed us

From what we know, Chinese cyber hacker attackers have been reading the email of U.S. government officials from 2010 to 2014 reports NBC. The operation is known as "Dancing Panda."

As Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013,, Hillary Clinton's use of a private, unprotected server, must have looked like the neon lights of Times Square on New Years Eve to the hackers.

But what difference, at this time, does it make? Like Benghazi, it's too late to do anything about the information getting out to the Chinese, just like it was too late for Ambassador Stevens et al.

At least the FBI is now conducting a criminal investigation as to whether Hillary sent or received classified information on her server. Anyone with a brain knows that she did, and anyone who is not a liberal, knows that if they're not found, she destroyed the evidence.

NBC writes:

China's cyber spies have accessed the private emails of "many" top Obama administration officials, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official and a top secret document obtained by NBC News, and have been doing so since at least April 2010.

The email grab -- first codenamed "Dancing Panda" by U.S. officials, and then "Legion Amethyst" -- was detected in April 2010, according to a top secret NSA briefing from 2014. The intrusion into personal emails was still active at the time of the briefing and, according to the senior official, is still going on. 

So what's going to happen to Hillary Clinton if it's found that she did indeed use her server to send and receive confidential material?

Probably nothing.

And that's the problem.

Mosby was hacked like a Weiner

Marilyn Mosby, the Baltimore City state attorney, is the victim of a vicious hacking attack that randomly "favorited" two controversial tweets. 

Can you believe it, hackers actually tried making Ms. Mosby look like she approved of tweets that someone else tweeted about the 6 Baltimore cops involved in the Michael Brown Trayvon Martin Freddie Gray case. The tweeter referred to the cops as " those 6 thugs" and the hacker made it look like poor Ms. Mosby agreed with that assessment by giving it a "favorite" response using her account.

The other tweet praised Ms. Mosby's handling of the case and said that she "INFURIATES a certain kind of white person."

Can't you imagine a hacker, who is not Ms. Mosby, showing a favorite response on Twitter to a tweet that praised the person hacked? Makes perfect sense. Probably some damned conservative hacker trying to get Ms. Mosby in trouble.

It's a shame these things happen to such upstanding and reputable people. It brings to mind Anthony Weiner when he was hacked in the so-called "Weinergate Scandal" that rocked the nation . . . well, okay, not the whole nation, but his wife Huma Abedin and the Muslim Brotherhood (the latter who probably does not care much for him because he's Jewish) were not happy because of his association with them.

Ms. Mosby tweeted on May 23rd from her personal account that her official account had been hacked--not her personal account. She had no proof but said she assumed it was  hacked because of the "favs" that she got caught not "faving," in spite of the ease with which she was later able to access her account. 

But her personal account was  also hacked around the same time. What a terrible coincidence that might cause one to think she may be pulling a Weiner.

Megyn Kelly of Fox News wondered why would a hacker go into an account to only "favorite" two tweets that someone may or may not find down the road in weeks to follow?

Having her legally involved in the Freddie Gray case would be a miscarriage of justice.

Unless you believe that the Weiner was framed too.
