Nikolas Cruz was adopted. Not to say that his adoptive home worked out so well for him or others...

Scot, sometimes you best is not good enough. Sometimes that's OK. Other times, not so much. Thinking St. Fauxi in the latter category with his creepy virus experiments.

He's in the same boat as the airport security officers at Boston on 9/11. It was an easy job as to be called Retired on Active Duty, just doing your time. No seriousness beyond when's the next coffee break. More ceremonial than functional. Then one day, the fundamental reason the position existed came home. That's when you discovered he were wanting. The people who assigned you to the job also considered it the same. They too were wanting.
Fortunately, today, you have lots of company. The senior members of our military join you in failing at their fundamental jobs. A very large ROADie community.

In the society that bested them, they'd be on the hook for blood money to over 300 people's families. In America, they are "sovreignly immune" from the consequences of their incompetence.

[USAToday] WASHINGTON (AP) — Longtime American foreign correspondent Joseph L. Galloway, best known for his book recounting a pivotal battle in the Vietnam War that was made into a Hollywood movie, has died. He was 79.
A native of Refugio, Texas, Galloway spent 22 years as a war correspondent and bureau chief for United Press International, including serving four tours in Vietnam. He then worked for U.S. News & World Report magazine and Knight Ridder newspapers in a series of overseas roles, including reporting from the Persian Gulf War in 1991.
Galloway died Wednesday morning, his wife Grace Galloway told AP, after being hospitalized near their home in Concord, North Carolina. He is also survived by two sons and a step daughter.
"He was the kindest, most gentle and loving man," Grace Galloway said. "He loved the boys and girls of the U.S. military. He loved his country."

I was privileged to have met him and heard him speak at Hal Moore's memorial at Fort Benning a few years back. He loved soldiers. Sadly, we'll probably never see another like him.

I was privileged to spend about an hour on a hilltop at Stony Valley, Fort Hunter-Liggett with LTG Moore and several other Company Commanders and listen to him talk about unit tactics, leadership and how terrain defines how to site battle positions and plan for actions after contact. One of the most impactful insights into real leadership I ever had.
"We're working with the Taliban" and "Trumpsters are literally Taliban" isn't cutting it. In fact it is actually turning people in to how bad Afghan Bail has been.

I enjoyed country drives before covid, now i feel like I'm driving through Hatfield & McCoy territories...
anyone else or is it just me ?
CDR ^ don't forget the additional part of the treatment requires 32 hours in a pressurized hyperbolic chamber - so 5 hours for the pressurizations & 15 hours for depressurizations
now you know why Joe's vacations are 10-14 days apart, in his Delaware home (location of the basement chamber) with no "open record" of who visits there.

I still enjoy country drives and Trump 2020 signs are still up. These are the type of people I grew up with. Bale hay, garden and can, slaughter or sell your animals, FFA and mountain oysters.

It would be beyond hilarious if he was hooked up with that crew the Feebs put together to kidnap MI Gov Gretchen Whitmer and set her adrift in Lake Michigan. If so, I would expect a "suicide by cop" real soon.
San Diego County residents monopolized a local hearing on covid mandates anti-vaxxers furiously accused the board of 'crimes against humanity'
Matt Baker called the supervisors Nazis saying 'You are about to open a pit of hell' claiming they broke the Nuremburg Code for human rights
Over 100 residents voiced their opinions on local covid mandates during Tuesday's San Diego County board meeting that lasted four and a half hours
Some who claimed to be nurses questioned the science behind the vaccine and denied that mask are effective to stop the spread of the infectious disease
Escondido resident Kevin Stevenson said he had listened for nearly four hours to 'unhinged death cultists' as the anti-vaxxers took over the meeting
San Diego County announced that they will begin requiring vaccine cards or weekly testing and mask wearing for their employees
The county has suggested that local businesses follow similar procedures
1. The cheap paper and the cloth masks do not filter to the levels needed to block the Virus.
2. By the US CDC's own words and actions. It is official the Vaccine is only good for +/- 6 months, before a booster is needed for new strain and/or a new Vax is needed.
3. The CDC, Dr. Death and the power grabbing Politicians are the primary reason why so many DO NOT trust the c-19 process.

Are Nuremberg trials warranted? Yeah, I think so. Will they happen? Nah. Cuomo killed old people without consequences. The people killing 12 year olds with a vax they don't need will skate as well.

The vaccine is super effective. Here's your 17th booster shot! Plus, oh yeah, more and more hospitalizations are in the vaccinated pop. But don't worry. The vaccine is guaranteed by the same people who brought you Afghanistan, the 2020 election, Russiagate, Jan 6 conspiracy theories, BLM and all your favorites!
The combat vehicle fell in a deserted place, which is located at the Ashuluk training ground. The MiG-29 flew without a combat kit. The pilot who controlled the fighter was killed.
A commission of the High Command of the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation was sent to the scene of the incident, which will have to establish the causes of the incident.
Our friends at @CNN are reporting Russia is about to test a nuclear-powered cruise missile (again), if they haven't already done so. A short thread on a fun bit of #OSINT, starring an amazing pair of radar images from @capellaspace.https://t.co/XGZyVKTRdG
[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Poland has deployed hundreds of troops to support its border guards at the frontier with Belarus as a surge of refugees and migrants colonists sought to enter the country.Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said on Wednesday that more than 900 Polish troops were involved in the operation.
It is understood that most of the refugees and migrants colonists trying to cross are from Iraq.
Late on Tuesday, a Polish deputy interior minister tweeted that the border with Belarus is sealed and that the soldiers have been there for a week.
Poland, like Lithuania and other Baltic nations, accuses the authoritarian government of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of sending people across their borders.
They believe Minsk’s moves are retaliatory.
The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... imposed sanctions on Belarus following a disputed presidential election last year — which the West saw as rigged, as well as for harsh repressions on Belarusian protesters.
On Wednesday, EU ministers also held emergency talks "to determine concrete measures and forms of assistance to the affected states in managing and containing illegal crossings at the border with Belarus, also from the aspect of security at this section of the external EU border," the Slovenian EU presidency said.
More than 4,100 refugees and migrants colonists have arrived in Lithuania so far this year and are being sheltered in temporary camps across the country.
Lithuania’s border guard service released video footage on Wednesday which it said reveals that migrants colonists are being pushed across the border into EU territory by Belarus riot police.
After talks with Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte on Wednesday, EU Parliament President David Sassoli accused Lukashenko, once dubbed Europe’s last dictator, of "exploiting these poor people, men and women."
"I have seen these outrageous actions when officials push people across the border. It is both an issue of human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... , and also a question of protecting the border of the EU," Sassoli said. "It is an organised activity of the Lukashenko regime."
On the eve of the meeting, German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists... and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas accused Lukashenko of launching a "hybrid attack" against the 27-nation bloc by channelling migrants colonists to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland in retaliation over the EU’s sanctions.
"We agree that this is hybrid aggression that uses human beings," Merkel said after their talks in Berlin.
Kallas said that "this is no refugee crisis, but this is a hybrid attack on the European Union."
Merkel said she would raise the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... in Moscow on Friday.

Here is an idea....
Make the company pay the customers damages to correct and secure their credit profile with credit protection for 5 years.
The SSA & Fed are in seriously need of updated & new restrictions on the use and handling of ALL SSN ID #'s. Like allowing only the last 4 #'s to be stored by the commercial and Medical world.
Because, the Social Security Admin Number was NEVER designed to be used as a Universal National ID. In fact up until the later 1970's our original SSN cards were printed with ...
"FOR SOCIAL SECURITY PURPOSES * NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION
CNSNews.com asked Johnson: “A federal court in Texas v. United States has said giving an illegal alien a Social Security Number is not an act of prosecutorial discretion. What specific law gives the president the authority to give a Social Security Number to a foreign national in the country illegally?”
Rather than answer the question, Johnson instead noted that the administration has appealed the court’s injunction against the administration’s unilateral action on immigration.
He said: “Well, that’s a case that’s on appeal right now. We disagree with the district court’s decision but that’s what appellate courts are for. We’ve appealed the decision. We’re asking for a stay of the injunction. We went to the district judge first and the matter will be resolved in a few days. So that’s in litigation. I believe that the injunction will be reversed in a matter of time.”
Obama’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents Program (DAPA) would grant work permits and Social Security Numbers to as many as five million illegal aliens.

#2 I agree with some caveats about the SSA security.
But it is clear to me and many others that the commercial & medical industry must be held to a standardized Secure Practices and/or be liable for compensation.
#5
Your credentials, including your SSN, go for about $5 on the darkweb. It's not like they don't already have this information for 20 other sources.
Still, it would be nice if someone somewhere started taking security seriously. If not, then companies should not be permitted to store my credentials at all.
#6
^ This. They should be entitled to a hash of the data they "need" only. It's about time for there to be a law against use of SSN for any non-SSA activities.

[ZH] Anyone watching Tuesday's US market cash session sees red across the board. One of the strongest selling programs in months dumped stocks, and equity volatility exploded to the upside. Quite frankly, this could be the beginning of a market storm.
Ahead of what could be further market turmoil, Palantir Technologies warned about an upcoming "black swan event," according to Bloomberg.
The software company, co-founded by the technology billionaire Peter Thiel and CEO Alex Karp, wrote in a filing last week that it stockpiled $50.7 million in gold bars earlier this month.
The filing also said it acquired technology startups, blank-check companies, and even cryptocurrencies. Palantir had previously said it would accept Bitcoin as a form of payment for its services, along with payment in precious metals

America retaliates by launching anti-satellite weapons (yeah, unlikely. but work with me here)
Huge debris field in geosynchronous orbit takes down the communication and observation satellites American military relies on. Mission accomplished - at least from the Chinese side.
