  1. They've got remote access, probably some goof out there still running XP. I see job ads all the time for IC workers and XP is fine. Really??? Since when? And what would HIPAA say about that? Oh, I think they could have about a MILLION $$ things to say about that.

  3. The United States is so frightened by Russia they will not admit to blowing up the Nordstrom 2 Pipeline. It gives the unabashed and pathetic appearance of cowardice and craven ineptitude. Who among you can challenge effectively what I say….None.

  4. No one believe CBS, NBC, or ABC anymore. Anyone of note is completely aware that they are in the tank for Washington and the Democrats. Most see through what they say for the lies these Democrats who attacked us with biological weapon are saying. Discount all you hear from these dishonest people.

  5. I hope that somewhere, deep within the quiet rooms of the CIA (or some unknown, black budget agency) there are a handful of people working on a plan to solve this problem with an ice pick.

    "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Matthew 6:5-6

  7. That was pointed out when it happened. Wormholes can delete info as it consumes it. So unless you get everything rebooted and disconnected that's hard wired to mainframe it could consume everything online hard wired or not. They Launched it from but it would been made somewhere else.

  8. They keep lying to us the Chinese are doing this and the Russians are doing that and the Iranians do something else but our government NEVER DOES ANYTHING. Okay, well, that last part is true. Can't solve a single problem. Worst people in government, another prophecy of Islam fulfilled.
