B-Man Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 The Election Was Not Hacked by Jon Gabriel Between jeremiads decrying “fake news,” the mainstream media has created and advanced the biggest fake news story of 2016: That the presidential election was hacked. “Obama Strikes Back at Russia for Election Hacking” New York Times “Obama administration unveils retribution for Russia over election hacking allegations” CNBC “U.S. Slaps Sanctions On Russia For Election Hacking, Expels 35 Diplomats” CBS “Obama sanctions Russian officials over election hacking” USA Today “U.S. Sanctions Russia Over Election Hacking; Russia Threatens to Retaliate” Wall Street Journal Despite the histrionic claims of the press, the election was not hacked. The Democratic National Committee’s lousy IT security allowed someone to access their emails which were then leaked. Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta fell for an age-old phishing scam that was as believable as getting millions of dollars from a Nigerian prince. Using the spotty media understanding of cybersecurity, they can claim that the DNC and Hillary’s campaign were “hacked,” but the election decisively was not. And the press knows it. In order to “hack” an election, a nefarious group would have to infiltrate the voting systems of 50 states, plus DC and territories. All of these systems are unique, with completely different architecture, ballot formats, tabulation processes, etc., etc. This did not happen. In fact, some hackers tried breaking into a few different states’ systems weeks before the election, were quickly identified, and prevented from doing so. Likewise, someone attempted to gain illegal access to the Republican National Committee, but since they had a competent IT staff, this too was thwarted. But even without delving into the technical details, it’s obvious that the election wasn’t hacked. If, say, Russia wanted to elect Trump, they would have given him the popular vote victory along with his electoral victory. They also wouldn’t have left him to squeak out meager wins across the upper midwest and rust belt. The media is intentionally lying to the public because they want a better excuse for Election Day than the reality. They would rather focus on hacking, the popular vote, FBI Director James Comey, or the minuscule alt-right, instead of accepting that American voters slightly preferred Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton, at least in the states where it counted. People wanted change over the ineptness, cronyism, and stagnation of the Obama era. They didn’t trust the utterly untrustable Clinton and liked her even less. The harsh reality is this: Hillary Clinton is the worst presidential nominee in American history. And if the media is actually concerned about fake news, they will drop the election hacking lie and just admit that their candidate was a disaster.

One has to wonder to what extent the Obama WH has managed to push away otherwise stalwart Jewish Democratic voters. To the joy of the very far left, he has managed to piss all over Israel while simultaneously giving millions of dollars to Iran to build nukes. Even your more die-hard Jews have to see that the left will never, ever be a friend to Israel, and yet they keep voting for leftists each and every term.

Yeah, but he's still got the black Jewish transgendered vote. Both of 'em.

B-Man Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 MAD DUCK: Twenty-two Guantanamo detainees to be freed within days The group being released will be drawn from those held at Guantanamo – who include an accused senior al Qaeda bomb-maker, the terror group’s top financial manager, and two intended 9/11 hijackers, who have all been held in the Cuba-based U.S. detention facility for more than a decade. According to a military source briefed on the process, 22 detainees are being prepared for transfer out of the camp, also known as Gitmo, before January 20. Although the White House has not specified which inmates will be transferred out – or which foreign countries have agreed to accept them – i t has indicated that this will be a priority for Obama in his final days in office.
B-Man Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE UPDATE: U.S. troops carry out ground raid against ISIS in Syria. The troops, who landed on helicopters, spent about 90 minutes in the area, then left carrying Islamic State captives and bodies, according to witnesses quoted by the website Deir al-Zour 24, which monitors Islamic State activity in that province. According to U.S. defense officials in Washington, the U.S. forces intercepted a vehicle carrying an Islamic State militant whom the U.S. military hoped to capture and interrogate. One official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an operation whose details have not been publicly announced, said that a firefight broke out and the suspect, along with another person in the car, was killed. No Americans were injured. Well done.

DC Tom Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Congress had granted legal authority for bombing just two of those seven countries. Congress granted authority to the president bomb anybody he wants when they passed the AUMF on September 18, 2001. All he has to do is call them "terrorists."
