[BEE] LITTLE ROCK, AR — After watching her grandfather gnaw on a baby on live television, four-year-old Navy Roberts was reportedly relieved that President Biden had disowned her.
"I didn't know Grandpa ate babies," said Navy. "I thought it would have been cool to meet my Grandpa and visit the White House -- but, um, I think I'll stay here with my mom."
According to sources, Navy occasionally likes to watch the news to see the Grandpa she has never met. "I was sad when I saw Grandpa put up a stocking at Christmas for the dog, but not for me," said Navy. "Then, I saw him lick that little girl like she was a strawberry ice-cream cone. She looked so scared! I'm not sad anymore."
Reporters say that the little girl who was chewed on by Mr. Biden has received her tetanus booster and is undergoing a series of shots for rabies. "We're taking the usual precautions with any bite victim," said pediatrician Dr. Amy Reynolds. "President Biden will also be quarantined for two weeks while we test for rabies. Interestingly, his staff said that was already on his schedule anyways. We believe the little girl will make a full recovery, though psychologically, she may always have trust issues with men."
At publishing time, the White House reported that the person responsible for keeping the President from eating babies had been fired.

If you combine the B Bee with some of the other satire sites it would make a great 30 minute program on TV - maybe once a week. Fox has a winner in Gutfield and a decent hit with 'the five' but there is definitely room for a satire only show.

More media hysteria. According to experts, the genus Biden is mainly herbivorous. One subspecies is known to subsist almost entirely on the coca plant.
[Federalist] Andrew Tate is public enemy No. 1, and not because of the seriously flawed human trafficking charges he’s facing in Romania. Tate is hated because he speaks to disaffected men, and not just any disaffected men — he speaks to young disaffected men. Despite his moral pitfalls, which I have already identified and rebuked, Tate has a unique ability to comprehensively explain the stakes behind the West’s war against masculinity in a highly engaging manner to middle- and high-school boys.
For adolescent males in 2023, life has never been more dissatisfying and confusing. As Tucker Carlson put it in his viral interview with Tate this week, our culture’s message to young boys today is: "Stop being yourself. Sit still. Stop joking. Suppress your aggression. Share your feelings. Obey. Female qualities are virtuous, masculine qualities are oppressive."
Tate speaks to young boys. He helps them pinpoint all their frustrations in our hyper-feminized society and gives them concrete ways to resist "the matrix" and embrace their masculinity. Tate might not be a perfect figure, but his larger argument that our elite’s version of masculinity is poisonous is something boys desperately need to hear.
MENTAL AND PHYSICAL TOUGHNESS
One example of something people have found wildly offensive is Tate’s insistence that "depression isn’t real." Tate explains that most cases of "depression" are natural human emotions irresponsibly treated with prescription drugs. "I don’t believe in depression, I believe in feeling depressed," said Tate. "If you have to install software, in your own mind ... why not adopt a mindset that makes me as competent and as fearsome as possible?"
"If you feel a degree of uncomfortableness inside of your mind, I think it’s just your mind telling you that something about your life needs to change," Tate told Carlson, emphasizing mental toughness and conditioning your mind to train, study, and go to work, even when you’re feeling unhappy. "I was in a Romanian jail cell, with cockroaches crawling all over me as I slept," said Tate. "I never missed a day of training. I wouldn’t say I was particularly happy, but push-ups must be done, so they got done."

He is definitely not the muse for me. The adage about not drinking even the finest Chardonnay with but a teaspoon of feces applies for me in his case. I probably agree with him in many cases. I will get my conservative or libertarian views elsewhere. Neither will I criticize him or his views in my ignorance of him.

Yes, I watched some of his Tucker interview and did not see anything adverse. Neither did I find anything that captivated me. I guess I will need to see how his situation plays out.

[AfghanistanAnalysts] The decrees, edicts and instructions of Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... supreme leader Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, from 2016, when he became leader, to May 2023, have been published. They make fascinating reading, tracing some of what the leadership felt was important to ban, make obligatory, organise or administer during the insurgency and since recapturing power. Some themes are repeated — land and land-grabbing, administrative corruption and treatment of prisoners, including using torture without a court order. Several orders enjoin Taliban fighters to good behaviour, such as not letting hair grow below the shoulders, not using profanities and avoiding cronyism and ethnocentrism. Alongside AAN’s English translation of the decrees, which can be found in the Resources section of our website, Kate Clark has been delving into their substance to see what they tell us about the Taliban’s leader and the Islamic Emirate.
65 decrees, edicts and instructions from Mullah Hibatullah have been published in the Official Gazette (announcement here). The original orders in Dari and Pashto, as well as an unofficial English translation by AAN are available in the Resources section of the AAN website. A list of the orders (brief title and number) can also be found here.

[Ashampoo Blog] Do you use a surveillance camera, fitness tracker, or smart lighting? Are your smoke detectors connected to the internet to send status notifications similar to modern security systems? Today, an assumed 50 billion devices are online to allow for information sharing as well as easy monitoring and controlling. Doesn't this entail a major security risk? Shodan, the most controversial search engine on the planet, will tell you.
Shodan was created in 2009 by John Matherly and named after the artificial intelligence in the game "System Shock". Originally devised as a search engine for IoT (Internet of Things) devices, it quickly became apparent that its results are as significant as they are dangerous. For clarification: Internet of Things refers to a system of interrelated computing devices—from the ones mentioned above to industrial assembly lines, traffic light controllers, and many other everyday appliances—that have the ability to transfer real-time data over a network, usually the internet, without human interaction. These devices are assigned IP addresses just like your cellphone or PC. In many cases, network activity is human-monitored, but especially household appliances, like smoke detectors, communicate unsupervised and only notify their owners sporadically via status messages or in the event of a problem.
This approach has many advantages. It improves response times in an emergency, helps to identify bottlenecks early, and allows businesses to instantly send out repair teams when necessary. It is also essential to home automation. But there's a flipside: No software is perfect, and neither are its users! Take, for example, the small computer in a smart fridge. It usually runs on a compact operating system like FreeRTOS, mbed OS, or Zephyr, that has a reduced feature set in the interest of stability, controllability, and network connectivity. Protection against online attacks often isn't a priority during development. And that's where Shodan comes in!
In simple terms: Shodan constantly scans the internet by sending queries to a whole range of IP addresses and ports (think of them as doors left open by operating system to enable network communication). IoT devices routinely respond to these queries by sending service banners (think of them as calling cards) that expose information such as device type, operating system, open ports, available services, and other configuration details. At worst, the data even includes user names and passwords. Shodan then stores the information in a large database and makes it available to users through its search interface. Here's where the controversy begins!
That's because the search index frequently turns into a list of shame, full of devices running outdated software or using inferior security settings—basically an invitation to hackers. And though the thought of having your own security camera hacked is unsettling enough, the knowledge that sensitive details on water processing plants, power grids, and power plants is also present is downright alarming. This data is accessible to anyone who completes the free registration. Paid subscribers, or users of special tools like SHODAN Diggity, get access to even more delicate, and filterable, information. Webcams, printers, routers, security cams, network switches, even industrial plant control systems, Shodan has all the details, including locations. And users can apply filters to swiftly target individual cities, device types, easily hackable OSes, even appliances that use standard passwords. Accessing a vulnerable system then usually requires little more than a web browser.

[Daily Caller] On Sunday, the White House Press Secretary made clear she and her fellow Democrats want a very different America than the rest of us.
During an appearance on MSNBC, Karine Jean-Pierre was asked by the host about how the White House will handle future debate regarding affirmative action now that the Supreme Court has banned it in America’s colleges and universities.
She responded with this: "We’re going to say, ’this [decision] is wrong.’ It is unprecedented... taking away important constitutional rights that have been in place for a long time."
Unfortunately for the White House, though, it is they who are wrong. In fact, a new poll makes that clear.
Over the weekend, The Economist / YouGov released a poll showing 59% of adult Americans approve of the Supreme Court’s decision to ban affirmative action in college admissions. Just 27% disapproved.
More surprising to people like Ms. Jean-Pierre is this: black and Hispanic Americans largely support the Supreme Court’s decision too. In fact, black folks approved by a margin of 46% to 36%. Moreover, only 11% of black Americans said they had been positively impacted by affirmative action policies.
Additionally, Hispanic Americans felt much the same. Only 7% said they were positively impacted by these race-based policies.
In other words, only the most radical members of American society support affirmative action. And now we have the data to back that up.
But like any radical political movement, the American Left won’t abandon their embrace of affirmative action and skin-color quotas. It’s simply too important to them, too central to their political ideology.

My experience with affirmative action policies is that the primary winners were middle class blacks who became upper middle class and upper middle class blacks who became wealthy

Ultimately, to be South Africa you have to be a majority. They would be a majority, but they allowed Planned Parenthood to cull them. As to the possibility of them assuming a leadership role over other minorities, they have not played those cards very well at all.

Yeah. Eliminating assimilation - AKA "the melting pot" - leaves them with unintended problems as far as making the US into South Africa writ large.

[Front Page Magazine] There are 7th-generation military families who fought for this country since the Revolution.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, who got her start as a Clinton intern, has a lot of thoughts on the military.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said she expects within weeks to begin drafting a proposal for a recruiting overhaul so sweeping that Congress might need to pass legislation to enact all of it.
Depending too much on military families could create a "warrior caste," Wormuth said. Her plans seek to draw in people who have no real connection to the military and to broaden the appeal of service.
There are sixth and seventh-generation military families. There is a ’warrior caste’ insofar as you have families who have fought for this country since the War of Independence. They showed up, they bled, and now they’re to be replaced by drag queens and identity politics quotas.
"The Army is strategically deploying recruiters to communities across the country based on demographics, ethnicity, race, and gender," Wormuth had claimed in a written statement.

Why does she then let career political families stay in DC. Rid DC of that vermin first...

In the old Roman Republic, Senators accompanied the legions to the field. When a legion died, as sometimes happened, they died too. Early example of quality assurance. Just saying.
She is just another example who use technology without understanding how it is all made to work. In this case how military organizations actually work. In effect, the line people are just cannon fodder, replaceable and interchangeable.

And I bet we are all waiting with baited breath for her dream and the day the US Army goes carbon neutral. I mean, maybe it'll be for the better. After all, the Patriot missile batteries and Bradleys are said to be smoldering heaps of mangled metal in Ukraine.

Ole Christine’s problem is that the “warrior caste” both future and present rejected her first. Her BS on the heels of the Afghanistan debacle destroyed the trust in the “establishment caste.”

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said she expects within weeks to begin drafting a proposal for a recruiting overhaul so sweeping that Congress might need to pass legislation to enact all of it.
That right there says to me she is starting the process of destroying the professional military, getting rid of those that oppose the political elite and making a Pretorian guard to round up any that oppose them with the military.
#13
These clowns can't even define an assault weapon, and they are defining what a warrior caste is?
This country/the West has simply gone mad. Again, a "Biden" admin hack steps on the accelerator as the US goes down further and faster in the decline and fall stage of the US.

Very long. You’ll want a coffee or coffee-equivalent and a comfortable chair for this one, dear Reader. Possibly a snack, as well.
[Dawn] The threat of religious militancy is not going away any time soon; expecting a two-decade long conflict to be fixed with interventions spanning weeks or months is somewhat delusional.
By late 2020, as it became apparent that the US was certainly withdrawing its forces from Afghanistan, talk around the table of Pakistain’s security establishment and political decision-makers related to the consequences of the withdrawal and its possible aftermath. For over two decades, NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... members and their partner nations had held down the fort of peace in Afghanistan, with up to 130,000 troops deployed there at the height of the war.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
