    "An unknown group of people set fire to the SHAMIR Jewish Community Center in Moscow and vandalized it with the slogan “Death to Jews” and a swastika.

    The attack took place on April 20, Hitler’s birthday, but was only reported to the Russian Jewish Congress (RJC) by the Chief Rabbi of the community centre, Rabbi Berl Tsisin, this week."

    How is the scourge of Nazism still around? Seriously. Nazism should have a zero tolerance. See a Nazi, punch a Nazi.

    The lack of people talking about the fact that critical us infrastructure was the target of cyber terrorism last Friday is astounding. No one seems to really care that a criminal group conducted a cyber attack on the pipeline company that supplies about half of the gas to the east coast and that currently they aren't pumping any gas. If this is down for longer than a few days things could get really uncomfortable on the east cost. If it stretches to weeks it could get bad.

    This is literally an attack on critical infrastructure. If someone blew up a section of the pipeline with a bomb we'd be looking to go to war. A cyber attack though is largely just written off. Biden should be vowing to hunt these people down and have them dragged to Guantanamo. Instead we just accept it as part of life.

    Cyber security is a sensitive issue now because once you disclose how susceptible we are it raises a lot of questions about the most secure election in history.

    Agreed. Saw this story this AM and was shocked that it wasn't huge breaking news all weekend. Among all of the infrastructure needs that we have, I feel like the susceptibility we have shown to cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure has to be close to the top of the list.

    There are two related issues. The cyber-criminals. And countries that give safe harbor or even sponsorship to cyber-criminals. The former is a law enforcement matter. The latter is much more complicated.

    Fortunately, every state other than Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kansas, Indiana, Kentucky, and New Jersey has paper ballots that have been audited and recounted in contested states. If you're worried about cyber security, I imagine you have particular concerns about those 8 states that have exclusively electronic records.

    Here are two opposing points of view, both of which are complete nonsense and demonstrate that you are blinded by choosing sides:
    "Russia stole the 2016 election from Clinton, but the 2020 election was completely secure."
    OR
    "The 2016 election was completely secure, but after we all started paying much more attention to election security the 2020 election was rife with fraud."

    Neither election was stolen.

    One election has volumes of analytical research that raises flags tha must be addressed. The other had a bogus spy create a fake dossier that was discredited early on 2017. It also had the president of a firm that inspected the alleged hacked server and found no physical evidence of a hack.

    So while you try to conflate the two elections they couldn’t be more apart.

    Oh yeah, one election spurred a 3+ year investigation that found next to nothing. Any investigation of this election has been met with the full force of the democrat at lawyer machine.

    I wonder why....

    What’s happening in France is fascinating. Generals and citizens have had enough with the globalist rule.

    They are literally live-streaming the audit. The media has already showed how much they respect due process by doxing jurors in the Chauvin trial.

    The procedures were not disclosed because of the obvious reaction from the democrats seeking to stop this audit at all costs. Go argue in court for irrelevant provisions that will have no impact on the final results.

    The bottom line is that the Biden administration is terrified that the canvassing will happen. That’s where the empty lots, PO Boxes, ghost voters , dead voters, and illegal aliens voters will be discovered.

    It’s clear what’s going on but keep pretending you are playing it down the center though. Nobody fights an audit this hard unless they are fearful of the results.

    Fraud cannot be created by an auditor. It can only be discovered by them and it will be clear and supportable if it applies in maricopa.

    So we aren't supposed to trust this GOP State Senator who is now saying the audit makes them look stupid, the Republican Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County, the Republican Governor in Arizona, the AP, the New York Times, the Justice Department, CBS, ABC, NBC...throw in the CDC, the FBI, whoever else is on the list these days.

    But we should trust that an investigation led by Cyber Ninjas (who has already been seen to be violating basing norms that any accredited group would abide by and whose CEO was a Jan 6 participant) with the untrained contracting services of people like Anthony Kern (who is on the Brady List for his history of lying before becoming a GOP state rep) is going to be completely truthful and 100% accurate. No risk of confirmation bias at all, which happens to be one of the first things any auditor would be trained on.

    Unless, of course, they find that Biden indeed won as the initial vote count and subsequent two audits by legitimate and accredited bodies determined. If they agree with that determination, then they too will be thrown to the dogs ala Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney and soon to be Larry Hogan and whoever else decides to preserve some dignity. At that point, I guess we'll have to find someone else to conduct an 'audit.'
