So the Black Like Me professor in Washington state is a fabulist on par with Lieawatha too! John at Powerline pulls back the curtain on this fraud and its a must read. Academic are nothing if not gullible:

Sheesh, all they gotta do is brag that ISIS (et al) use top line US Gov system security from a fake ISIL (or whoever) account. No jihadi hopeful would get online for any reason.

NYT:


Mrs. Clinton has yet to put forth a clear rationale for her candidacy since announcing in a brief online video that she would run for the Democratic nomination...

...though the forecast of scattered thunderstorms could affect turnout...


it's the weather, yeah that's the ticket.

and Master Hillary has been honing her skills at the Shaolin Temple

She has defined her campaign as taking on “four fights,”

She's going to need all seven when Master Mayor Mike upends her apple cart.

You and me both Mr. Turner. I feel my teeth grinding everytime I see him - I could cheerfully slap the living hell out of him.

On another note:
My cat - Floyd - now insists on being acknowledged and recognized as a T-Rex. It is insulting to call him a cat. We have been warned.

Cecil Turner

CT, I honestly do not see how John Kirby can sleep at night.

I wonder how much conscious effort these talking heads put into the spinning. Kirby, f'rinstance, was a remarkably unaccomplished Navy officer, holding forth on strategy obviously over his head, and trying to explain away the idiocy du jour whilst DoD spokesman. (Ash Carter fired him almost as soon as he was confirmed, which was remarkably sensible.)

But in any event, he couldn't possibly have been spending a lot of brain bytes on the carp coming out of his mouth, or it'd have made more sense. My conclusion is that he's reading from a script prepared by amateurs, or spinning on the fly to feel-good pablum. Or, he's got a list of talking points and he's trying to insert them into conversations.

Maybe it's diplomatic training in saying stuff you don't believe. In that case it might be valuable. Psaki and Harf seem to be prospering.

The IRS responded to Judge Sullivan's order to provide Judicial Watch with a status update on Lois Lerner's email. That doc is here.

Not much there. The bottom line is they expect releases of recovered emails in September.

Cecil Turner

The purpose of the ABM treaty was to keep the US from deploying a system that worked, whilst the Soviets, cheating, worked on theirs (similar to the 1972 BWC). The Soviets finally stopped cheating when the CCCP broke up.

AliceH

Dear extraneus:

is there a known problem with the narcisolator?

Signed,

Captain Hate

Maybe the hackers will provide the emails to Judicial Watch in a more timely manner.

Cecil Turner

Well, based on previous experience I think we can be fairly confident Judge Sullivan isn't going to jail them for contempt.

Skoot

With the fed hack disclosure, surely even Hillary and her most ardent supporters must now acknowledge that every email passed through her server is in the possession of ChiCom intelligence.

Did Hilligula's reset, er restart put everyone to sleep?

Sandy--I Stand with Walker 2016--Daze   ن

Regarding the hack...

I am disgusted.

When did we learn of the hack, Thursday (11 June) afternoon? Friday noon (12 June) my snail-mail delivery included a letter detailing OPM's consequence management efforts, which indicates to me, at least, that the "official acknowledgement roll-out" is an orchestrated event.

No way the USG moves from disclosure to consequence management letters in the mail in less that 24 hours...

A friend in WDC with access and a reliable reporting record going back almost two decades says that the records hack has been known to OPM for a year already ! Another reporting source indicates that by mid-Autumn at the latest, the fbi became aware that opm was dealing with the hack.

My limited time in Federal Service was as a temp govt employee (3161) In Baghdad as part of the CPA (Coalition Provisional Authority) in 2004 for not more than six months.

The letter I received yesterday does not reference any compromise of records from my military service (the SF-86 security investigation documents).

If I got a letter this quickly, with relatively little time as a govt civilian employee, over a decade ago, then a LOT of letters might/should be sent.

If you have or know someone who has had Federal Service, one would think you/they should get a similar letter too. If not, maybe a direct inquiry is in order.

Gosh, I wonder who at CSID--the company that sent me the letter on OPM's behalf--is making a bundle on this, wonder if the contract was sole-sourced?

~~

I agree with those that suggest not only that this is an act of war, but if there is ever a future time that the Chinese disagree with the application of US Military force, all they need to do is start emptying (because they now have *ALL* of our data) the bank accounts of individual soldiers, or fuck with us in other ways.

Yeah, right, a GI or a pilot will be completely focused on the mission when momma emails him to say, "all our accounts are empty, the mortgage is underwater, our insurance has been cancelled, and our direct deposit has been rerouted to a bank in Shanghai."

...Nice little SEAL team you got there, would be a shame if all of their identities were made public and all of their personal accounts were emptied....

Miss Marple

Good afternoon. I went to a n art fair in a near downtown neighborhood, one that has been happening every year since the early 70's. It's a juried show with high-quality items.

What I noticed (besides how HOT it was) is that most of the crowd looked to be 50+. That isn't the way it has been in past years. Also, so no one buying anything except small items.

I am led to conclude that younger people do not have money to spend on art, which means that the OPM famine is spreading into the arts community, but those people will never connect the dots as to why they cannot sell their work.

I believe the hack isn't really a hack. It is a bs scam so all federal employees sign up for a "free" government tracking program due to the govt feeling so bad about all this.

Crisis waste management.

In addition, the insurance plan to reimburse anyone who was affected by the supposed negligence of the Feds will be set up in a Pigford type system that will be the final act of Treasury looting.

Miss Marple

I wonder who is getting the identity theft government contract and how much it's for.

Seems suspicious to me it's for 18 months (about the time Obama has left in office).

Does the identity theft company get all of the emplyee social security numbers and account numbers?

That would be really handy information for Obama and his allies to have once he leaves office.

I am, of course, of a highly suspicious nature.

State Department registry, how that happened raised some flags, then Snowden a few years later, and he
was in Chinese intelligence and Volodya's care,

It appears the fake colored person has done me a favor. When the Feds want to diversify my neighborhood I can claim I'm black. It's up to them to prove me right or wrong. Who know the "one drop" rule could come in so handy generations later?

Hey, folks, is there any doubt we've been sold down the river?

Speaking of fake accents, I assume you all have seen Carly's recent video. When Hilligula gives the rooskie the reset button and he tells her in heavily accented English that it's the wrong Russia word, I could swear she lays on some Russian accent of her own when she repeats, "It's wrong."

As I document in my forthcoming book, “Scarlet Letters: The Ever Increasing Intolerance of the Cult of Liberalism,” leftist scolds are quick to hand out career-killing “letters” to those who offend their righteous sense of self.

As I also document, the only way to beat them is to stand your ground, to not apologize for yourself or for your political allies, even those less verbally adroit. An apology is never enough. Neo-puritans want you to grovel, and then they want you gone.

As a case in point, on the first day of the Todd Akin controversy in 2012, Republican nominee Mitt Romney told the media: “Congressman Akin’s comments on rape are insulting, inexcusable and, frankly, wrong. Like millions of other Americans, we found them to be offensive.”

Here is what Romney should have said, “A credibly accused rapist is giving the keynote speech at the Democratic convention in two weeks, and you want me to denounce a decent, God-fearing man for his inelegant comments about rape? No, not happening, and if the truth hurts, get some ice on that.”

If Romney had said something like this, he would be president today and Todd Akin would be a U.S. senator. Instead, Akin will wear his Scarlet S for sexism to the grave. There is nothing that keeps a conservative home on Election Day like a Republican candidate who grovels.

The way feminists have spoken makes us blind to Hillary’s record of trashing [women]. They were going to try to destroy Monica Lewinsky. It’s a scandal! Anyone who believes in sexual harassment guidelines should have seen that the disparity of power between [Bill] Clinton and Monica Lewinsky was one of the most grotesque ever in the history of sex crime. He’s a sex criminal! We’re going to put that guy back in the White House? Hillary’s ridden on his coattails.”
