Concur on most of this, and the stuff I don't I would probably consider a matter of degrees of difference. Here's where I don't agree. "The media" hasn't gone after Barron, or the other kids who aren't in a political office. As a Dad who's literally looking down the future of a son who's not on a right path no matter what I do, I also don't think we hold the Father for the crimes of the son, even if the name was invoked for dirty dealings. My son's said shit to me that I thought sounded ok...found out after it wasn't. I wouldn't do that for Don Jr, an I won't do it for Hunter. I think that the appointment of Trumps kids to political office was reprehensible and should be outlawed by the Legislature in the next session. But again, when the kids are appointed to political positions...fair game.

Have you watched this "footage?" What's the FBI going to go for...taxes, or CP?

Need a U-2, and RC-135. Bump as you add stuff.

Wait, I thought it was child porn, and Chinese hookers.

So, assuming that the Supreme Court overrides in only those listed states in the argument, and not the other states that Trump won that had the same type of "election changes." What happens next? Majority of people did not vote for Trump either in the popular vote, or in the places where they are contesting. There has still be zero evidence of fraud to claw back a Trump win anywhere. He's engaged in attempting to get legislatures to go against the will of the people that voted. Do you think the run-off in Georgia would go R if that were to happen? I have extreme doubts. Are we looking at a general strike and protests? Are we back at riots? Would the Congress even convene? You couldn't ever get me to attend a protest for BLM, Abortion rights, gay rights, whatever. I could see myself attending one where millions were disenfranchised through no fault of their own.

Again, you get things wrong. It was denied, and Kelly is not in on the new complaint nor has he filed a brief in support of it. Check here.

Had a buddy that did a gig there as SOS instructor. Loved it. However, you're basically forgotten from your AFSC. Depending on the O6's that are coming around some even viewed it as "ditching the career field." You're busy just instructing, while everyone else is "leading." If you're career...why would you ever do that. Lets look at the bios of a statistically significant sampling of O6's and 1-stars...how many have PME instructor as a Capt on there? That said, Maxwell in 2017 was actually really nice. Hard to believe. Article pushes out some interesting ideas. It would make SOS more like ALS, which it basically is now. To claim the instruction there gets down into doctrine, strategy, or anything of lasting value is a lie. Other service school are much longer, and we just don't instruct the same way.

It's making me fat.

Thanks. I've got folks who've had to unfollow their parents/husbands on social media for stuff like that. Funny seeing it satirized.

So. Whatever was used to get in is going to get burned, or turned over to the Fed for examination and use. Every tool they have is going to get hashed and given to the cybersecurity vendors out there. Be interesting to see if we see any attributable patches to vulns they might have developed. Kinda like WannaCry after the alleged-NSA loss of tooling. Overall...it sucks!

LINEBACKER comes to mind.

Also, this was just updated, emphasis from your site @Seadogs - "Just hours after the deadline for the petition's deadline, The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a request by Trump ally Mike Kelly, a Pennsylvania Republican, to nullify Joe Biden’s election victory in Pennsylvania. Kelly argued that virtually all of the state’s mail-in ballots were unlawful. The rebuff came without explanation and with no noted dissents."

Considering Texas modified voting rules and procedures in exactly the same way...it's not surprised indicted felon Ken Paxton is doing this. Probably to get a pardon from Daddy Trump from the FBI investigating deep into his taking bribes and abusing office. So was it: unconstitutionality, or hacking, or fraudulent ballots, or flipped votes. I guess they're hoping something sticks to the wall to disenfranchise millions. Meanwhile Lying Ted Cruz, with the ugly wife and assassination Dad, is offering to argue it.

Oh really? I didn't know that. While I was there he was not liked due to attitude.

Not to brag but - U.S. Cyberforce Was Deployed to Estonia to Hunt for Russian Hackers

What does that mean?

We can have Trump saying crazy shit for years...but now every word is gospel. K.

https://streamable.com/6n72u3 Romain's interview about the accident. He goes into detail.

I know it probably doesn't compare. But I did a new flu vaccine test last year. They tracked me for almost six months, and I had a weekly email to respond to with health status. If I got sick I got some amazon gift cards and...free health care. 😁

So, Here's a cool hack that happened. I think the story illustrates well what I've been trying to discuss in the other threads about capabilities development and utilization. story - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/iphone-zero-click-wi-fi-exploit-is-one-of-the-most-breathtaking-hacks-ever/ Blog post - https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/12/an-ios-zero-click-radio-proximity.html (Very long) For those that don't know Project Zero is a Google initiative to get after bugs in software in a very aggressive manner. About page - https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/about-project-zero.html These guys are genius level hackers, working with literally unlimited funding going after the biggest names in the business to break their things...and get them patched. The take away - "one person, working alone in their bedroom, was able to build a capability which would allow them to seriously compromise iPhone users they'd come into close contact with." Something to note about software development - having 2 guys work on the same thing doesn't reduce the time by half, or even at all. It can, but is not likely. So, if you're thinking, "Well, the FSB probably has 20 of these guys so they could do it faster." Not really, and they don't have 20 of these guys. There's very few of these guys, and Google pays them 7+ figures. These Project Zero folks are the same people that are trying to get after our voting systems to help protect them, and we have enemies that could be trying to do the same thing to reduce confidence in our democracy. Right now we have no evidence of the later and evidence that they are trying to hack those systems isn't evidence that they have. Cyberops is tied very heavily into Intel, and there's legit concerns about Intel gain/loss and weapons loss that we and our enemies go through. As I said in the other thread, if the National Security Orgs had a wiff of this going on, we'd be hearing something about it. Probably from the President himself, because he can't shut his mouth about it. Think about what would happen the first time this bug dropped, and apply that to the election.

"the ease" is the questionable part. Which adversary has the infrastructure, capabilities, and means to get this accomplished without anyone competent bringing it forward? Pres Trump has now stated Biden can't be Pres if the votes weren't legit...if it was hacked, why would he not push that forward with evidence from any national security agency?

@jazzdude dude hits on my concerns. Our local numbers are not inline with the averages you found @brabus. I'm not saying they're wrong, there's just less hospitals here in the great-wide west, and less that can deal with COVID. Our current numbers - Percent of all non-ICU Bed Occupied 57.1% Percent of all ICU Beds Occupied 85.7% Percent of Referral Center ICU Beds Occupied 88.8% Average and median age for hospitalization have dropped by a year in about 2 weeks. % ICU beds and Referral Center were over 91% during "wave 2" peak. It's only going to get worse. Especially since we had an anti-mask demonstrations, one through a store the other week... On top of the work the medical community is putting in, we've also got demagogues claiming the doctors are getting paid extra to lie about COVID. I know if I was getting slammed at work, being told my work was a lie, and not being listened to when trying to get around the emergency...yea. I'm looking for a way out. But, I don't have the dedication Dr's and nurses do. Nor the student loans.

Come get your man

So, this had to be a thing - https://www.military.com/daily-news/2020/12/01/no-kraken-refer-military-intelligence-unit.hmtl Also, Flynn (whose twitter handle is @genflynn...douche) is endorsing: So...yea.

For cyber peeps ADSC was a consideration after a few other factors (shiny penny, training, etc.) but according to my buds at the slaughterhouse it was there. Since our jobs got realigned to more actual Ops...who knows if it's more/less important. But it was part of the vectoring/assignment discussion, sometimes in the shitiest way possible.
