As them cops spring their trap...
['Pop, you takin' the rap!']
But I got me a good pettifogger."

[Regnum] Former CEO of the American video hosting site YouTube Susan Wojcicki has died at the age of 56. This was announced on August 10 by Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
He clarified that the woman had been battling cancer for the past few years.
"Incredibly saddened by the loss of my dear Susan Wojcicki after two years of living with cancer. <…> She was an incredible person, leader, and friend who had a profound impact on the world, and I am one of countless Googlers who are a better person for knowing her," Pichai wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Wojcicki rented her garage to Google's founders as an office in 1998, and became the company's first marketing manager a year later. She was also the driving force behind Google's acquisition of YouTube.
She held the position of CEO of the video hosting service since 2014. Wojcicki remained in this position for nine years. She announced her resignation in February 2023.
Wojcicki was born on July 5, 1968. She attended Gunn High School in Palo Alto, California, and was a contributor to the school newspaper. Wojcicki's first business was selling "spice rope" door-to-door at age 11. She studied humanities in college and took her first computer science course in high school.
Wojcicki studied history and literature at Harvard University, graduating magna cum laude in 1990. She also earned a master's degree in economics from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1993 and an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management in 1998.
[FDA] Palmer Candy Company, Sioux City, Iowa, is recalling its “White Coated Confectionary Items” because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The recalled Confectionary Items were distributed nationwide in retail stores and to wholesale.
The recalled confectionary items were distributed nationwide in Walmart, HyVee, Target, Dollar General, and to distributors in Alabama, California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
Palmer Candy was notified by its liquid coating supplier that there was a potential for contamination with salmonella from an ingredient that was potentially contaminated from one of their suppliers.

My Google fu can’t identify that “liquid coating supplier”. Seems odd they are dropping big names, but not identifying the actual company that provided the contaminated material.
[USNI] Coming up short 10 percent of its required enlisted force means the Coast Guard “can’t crew all our ships” and has had to “temporarily shutter some of our smaller stations,” the vice commandant said Wednesday.
Adm. Kevin Lunday, speaking at the Brookings Institution, added, “We had to lay up three of our major cutters because we don’t have enough enlisted personnel to crew them.” Since the action, the service has shifted funds from other parts of the budget to bolster recruiting and retention.
He described the “controlled parts exchanged,” borrowing from another vessel to get a cutter underway, as “the fancy term for cannibalization.” If it continues over time, “you’re eating your readiness.”
Lunday later added that USCGC Healy (WAGB-20) had an engine room fire that caused it to return to port for repair this year. The medium icebreaker “had just begun her summer patrol” in the Arctic. Repair will prove difficult because “much of the machinery aboard is antiquated” and parts may no longer be available.
“If Healy can’t continue that patrol, the U.S. will have no icebreakers in the Arctic this summer,” he said. This happened as the United States laid claim to an extended continental shelf, requiring more presence to assert sovereignty in that part of the Arctic.

about $12B budget of which about 40% go for salaries
one of the major increases in costs for the CG is patrolling to intercept illegal drug and other goods
the operation of the summer icebreaker is pretty expensive and while it provides more security for commerce, it is a service which should be funded by the recipients of the that service rather than the taxpayer

[Breitbart] A security researcher’s mission to investigate a wave of fraudulent text messages impersonating the United States Postal Service (USPS) has uncovered a massive “smishing” operation, hacking into fraudsters’ systems after they tried to trick him with a bogus package delivery message.
Wired reports that Grant Smith, a red team engineer and founder of offensive cybersecurity firm Phantom Security, began his investigation after receiving a suspicious USPS package delivery text message earlier this year. The message, similar to those received by thousands of others, directed recipients to a website where they were prompted to enter their credit card information and other personal details. This scam is often referred to as “Smishing.”
Recognizing the scam, Smith set out to track down the group responsible for the mass-smishing campaign. Within a few weeks, he had hacked into the scammers’ systems, collected evidence of their activities, and began the process of gathering victim data to provide to USPS investigators and a US bank.
Smith’s findings revealed the staggering scale of the scam. Across 1,133 fraudulent domains used by the scammers, 438,669 unique credit cards were entered, with many victims entering multiple cards. Over 50,000 email addresses were logged, including hundreds from universities and 20 from military or government domains. In total, more than 1.2 million pieces of information were collected, with California being the state with the most victims at 141,000 entries.
The group behind the smishing campaign, identified as the “Smishing Triad” by cybersecurity company Resecurity, operates by selling a customizable smishing kit on Telegram for a monthly subscription of $200. The kit allows scammers to easily create fake websites impersonating various organizations, with USPS being just one of many targets. Resecurity estimates that the Smishing Triad sends between 50,000 and 100,000 scam messages daily, targeting online banking, ecommerce, and payment systems in multiple countries.
Smith’s investigation revealed vulnerabilities in the scammers’ websites, allowing him to access files and databases containing victim information. By reverse-engineering the smishing kit and automating the process of pulling data from the network of fraudulent websites, Smith was able to gather a significant amount of evidence to provide to authorities.
The United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) confirmed that the information provided by Smith is being used as part of an ongoing investigation, with the agency actively working to protect the public, identify victims, and bring the perpetrators to justice.
[Breitbart] It is "quite clear" that Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) are trying to con the American people and lie their way into the presidency, Dr. Ben Carson said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. He's just criticizing her because he's racist. Errr...whut?
Carson said Harris’s campaign and the Democrat Party know "they’re in bad shape," despite their outward appearance
"Obviously, the campaign for Kamala and the Democrat party know that they’re in bad shape, because there was a reason that Kamala got so little support when she was running for president during the primary process. The reason that she dropped out is because people found out who she was. So the lesson that they’ve learned is — let’s not let people know who you are," Carson said, noting that Harris has yet to hold a press conference or sit down for an interview since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and coronated her to take his place.
