Trump impeachment acquittal is a victory for ‘white supremacy’ … according to liberals crying over ‘sad day in America’

Though Donald Trump’s impeachment was expected by most to not pass the Senate, the former president’s loudest critics expressed their shock on social media by equating it to a victory for fascism and white supremacy.

“It is a sad day in America when only 7 republicans have the patriotism and integrity to convict a tyrant,” actress and Democrat activist Alyaa Milano tweeted minutes after Trump’s acquittal was announced, with 43 Senators ultimately voting down the article of impeachment accusing the former president of “inciting an insurrection.”

The daunting math of Trudeau’s goal to have all willing Canadians get COVID vaccine by September

The daunting math of Trudeau’s goal to have all willing Canadians get COVID vaccine by September

OTTAWA – Since last November, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said all Canadians who want a COVID-19 vaccine will have one by September.

Trudeau, his ministers and MPs have all repeated that promise despite a slowdown in vaccine deliveries that has seen Canada fall behind the world for vaccinations during the last month. It’s a promise to Canadian voters and now a political liability should the government fail to deliver.

‘They’d have made me a spy’: China uses LinkedIn to steal state secrets

Under fake profiles, agents offer money and lucrative business opportunities in exchange for sensitive information. Fiona Hamilton meets one of their targets

Philip Ingram was initially interested when he was contacted to do some work for a security company in Shanghai.

As a former colonel whose expertise includes specialist cyberintelligence work and knowledge of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons, Ingram was used to such approaches.

“I got a connection request from someone on LinkedIn, I get lots of them,” Ingram said. “His name was Robin, he was a Chinese businessman with links across the security industry in his profile. It fitted the sort of people I would connect with, so I accepted.”

We Didn’t Start the Fire – How much blame do the baby boomers deserve?

So, I’m a boomer, okay? I mean, a real Zelig of a boomer. I started Brandeis University just a few years after Abbie Hoffman and Angela Davis graduated. During my time there, two classmates, Kathryn Power and Susan Saxe, hooked up with a former convict studying at the campus on a government scholarship for parolees. Along with some of his ex-prison buddies, they robbed a National Guard Armory in Newburyport, Massachusetts and went on to kill a Boston police officer in a bank heist; Saxe and Power didn’t get their diplomas, but they did earn the distinction of being two of only ten women ever to make the FBI’s Most Wanted list. I saw the Who play at a dive club called the Boston Tea Party and an out-of-his-gourd Keith Moon—“Moon the Loon”—smash his drums into kindling. I was at the festival at Altamont outside of San Francisco, known for the moment when Mick Jagger’s Hell’s Angels “security guards,” hired in exchange for $500 worth of beer, stabbed and killed an 18-year-old African-American man.

Audit Finds ‘No Formal Tracking’ of IT Security Incidents at Public Safety Canada

OTTAWA—An internal review has uncovered weak security practices when it comes to information technology at Public Safety Canada—from lax controls on the use of portable flash drives to inadequate awareness and training.

The review found employees who were no longer with the department “still had privileged access to the network” and that some current employees had unnecessary administrative access to “mission critical applications.”

Watch a Dramatic Use of a Gun in Self-Defense That Didn’t Make News

If a defensive use of a firearm goes unreported in the media and nobody hears about it, does it really count?

I’m happy to report that the answer is a resounding “yes,” and I have evidence to prove it.

A man who was patrolling his employer’s property to protect it from thieves, confronted by an apparent carjacker, drew his legally carried firearm and subdued the stranger as police officers arrived and arrested the man.
