Georgia’s secretary of state: DHS tried to breach our firewall
Georgia’s secretary of state has claimed the Department of Homeland Security tried to breach his office’s firewall and has issued a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson asking for an explanation

Note that the attempted intrusion occurred on November 15, 2016. That’s a week after the general election. “Testing” the security of the voting system in preparation for the election should have occurred before election if Georgia had consented to intrusion testing. This was after the vote, but a week before the vote was officially certified.

That screams, “Let’s change the vote tallies!” to me. And to everyone else I’ve spoken to of this.

But let’s be fair. It didn’t have to be to DHS (Achtung!) hacking the election. Given their history it’s entirely possible that someone else hacked DHS and was using them as a relay to break in and alter vote tallies.

Of course, given that Trump won the popular vote, who would stand to gain by altering the results?

My money is on #SMOD. (he said innocently)

We can fix it

From HuffPo (and let that be your warning to swallow your coffe before clicking), we have yet another woeful tale of Hillary Lost Disorder.

How I Ended Up In A Psych Ward On Election Night
A while before, during the final hour of November 8, I had committed myself to institutional psychiatric care. A generation or two ago they would have said I was suffering a nervous breakdown: catatonic, plagued by involuntary jerking motions (my head furiously shaking “No! ”), speech patterns disjointed, weeping uncontrollably.

No; a generation ago, we would have said you’re an overly indulged pussy, never taught by responsible parents to deal with set backs. Hell, most of the country is saying that now;. Pussy. Catatonia? Bull -effin’-shit, Benny. Catatonics don’t — can’t — commit themselves.

But we can fix this. We can save these perpetual children from life’s hard knocks.

Yep, we need to take up a collection and buy Hillary a participation trophy, and all will be well with those who never learned about losing.

To pursue, or not to pursue…

…isn’t the question. The question is if someone said this, and who it supposedly was.

From the New York Post:

Trump won’t pursue charges against Clinton
President-elect Donald Trump won’t subject Hillary Clinton to a criminal inquiry — instead, he’ll help her heal, his spokeswoman said Tuesday. “I think when the president-elect who’s also the head of your party … tells you before he’s even inaugurated he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone and content, to the members,” Kellyanne Conway told the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” who first reported that the president-elect would not pursue his campaign pledge to “lock up” Clinton, his Democratic opponent.

Except the MSNBC link doesn’t say that. The talking heads simply say that an unnamed “source” said that Trump has no interest in pursuing an investigation of Clinton’s email usage or foundation. No names in that link, no mention of “healing.”

WTF?

Does anyone have a better source for this apparent 180 on Trump’s part?

Added: Breitbart has a better video link.

“I think when the President-elect, who’s also the head of your party, tells you before he’s even inaugurated that he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone, and content to the members,” Conway said. “And I think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that the majority of Americans don’t find her to be honest and trustworthy. But if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that is a good thing. Look, I think he’s thinking of many different things as he is preparing to become president of the United States, and things that sound like the campaign aren’t among them.”

So it sounds like Conway’s saying that Trump told her he isn’t interested in pursuing charges, but the whole bit about “healing” is her own thought. Now I’d like to see an actual statement from the Trumpster himself saying yea or nay.

But his transition team saying stuff like this…

It’s almost as if he’s deliberately reversing the one thing that got a lot of doubters to vote for him, juts before the Electoral College votes, to torpedo his real election.

You let me know how that works out for ya, honey

Comes the revolution…

Oh, yeah. That’ll go well.

Assuming anyone is SJStupid enough to initiate a revolution, which group do you suppose will be better prepared?

Do these snowflakes realize they’re calling out the “Super Owners”?

There’s a reason violent protests tend to happen here….

…and not here.*

---

* That was amusing. When the BLM march was announced — along with the planned route — I correctly predicted the quietest, most peaceful BLM protest evah. Or the shortest. They chose wisely.

So that’s what happened

I deliberately avoided news last night. I even delayed checking anything for a while this morning. So…

Trump won the non-binding popularity contest, and is expected to win the electoral college vote.

Clinton hasn’t been seen in public since she cast her own ballot. Still no firm time for her to appear. I figure she’s either stroked out, or they’re still tranking her.

The media pollsters were shocked and horrified to discover that there are people somewhere in between the East and West Coasts. Who knew?

Just remember: It’s never too late for an Extinction Level Event.

Oh, yeah.

Cue an Obama pardon for HRC in… 3… 2… 1…

And morons with no sense of humor

…vote on February 30.

Popcorn Day

Must be election day. My father has already started on the popcorn.

And mysteriously, Sweet Meteor O’Death signs have appeared around the local polling station.

Disinformation

Stuff magically appearing on the Internet regarding the Clintons. I would say this is getting hilarious…

…and this…

This update is in regards to the private emails of Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin found on the computer of Huma’s pedophile husband, Anthony Weiner.

The files in the folder named “Life Insurance” contained emails that revealed bombshell evidence that Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin are running a pedophile sex ring. Out of the 650,000 emails on Anthony Weiner’s computer, 11,112 emails are specifically related to Huma.

Kent Dunn says there is information regarding the true founders of ISIS terrorist group. ISIS was created by the CIA in collaboration with the Israeli Mossad. The inventors of ISIS are Joe Lieberman, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham.

There are three files that are in the folder labeled “Life Insurance” , one of which is called ‘DNC Nuclear Arsenal’. The second file is labeled ‘Intimate XXX’, which contains naked pictures of Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton, and a teenage girl having sex. The Third file was not mentioned?

After an email like that from Podesta, you’d think he’d have already accidentally shot himself in the back of the head two or three times, while driving his car off a cliff from the locked trunk. Problem is, it’s fake. Do some searches of your own. It isn’t in the dump.

How salacious: “Life Insurance” folder, a Hillary/Huma/girl threesome, CIA/Mossad/Daesh…

And all claims unsourced. In fact, while I keep hearing “650,000 Clinton emails found on the Weiner-Machine” I haven’t seen an attribution for that either. Not even “confidential source close to the investigation who wishes to remain anonymous.” The number just… appears. On the web. On TV. In papers. It started over the weekend.

I think we’re looking Clintonista propaganda taking advantage of confirmation bias: Those who know HRC for the evil, vindictive bitch she is would want to believe it all. Maybe the email count is even accurate; the best lies are based in truth.

But the specific claims are the sort that can be dismissed as paranoid conspiracy theory, and when no evidence to support them appears, it discredits any real leaks. Taint by association.

Do I think HRC et al are capable of such stuff? Yeah. But did it happen? And would evidence exist? Not so much. For me, the best indicator that this isn’t real is that — at least as I type — Abedin and Weiner still appear to be alive. No convenient shaving “accidents” with a straight razor while grooming cheeks and legs.

I’m not a Trump supporter…

But this was frickin’ hilarious.

I’m expecting to hear of The Donald’s untimely and mysterious demise any time now.

His speech writer — clearly a new hire — is a genius, and should be both wealthy and on the run now. This is what Trump should have been doing all along, but he isn’t sufficiently knowledgeable of all those subjects to have done it before.

Libertarians: The Gun Control Party

Oh. My.

Gun Owners of America has released their 2016 candidate ratings. There are decently rated folks in my state and district. Although I still won’t vote for the Republican House incumbent, even though he’s actually pretty good on 2A/RKBA; after the NHGOP fiasco I vowed to never again vote for anyone with an R after his name (search “NH Scott Brown Marilinda Garcia”). There is a Libertarian running for Senate, but…

Out of curiosity, I also looked at New Hampshire ratings, since I used to live there. Chabot, the LP candidate, is rated frickin’ F.

Wanna know why?

1. You would need a “Firearms Safety” card to so much as touch a firearm outside of a class on firearms safety.

2. You would need a certification in a class of weapons in order to purchase a weapon of that class. For instance, a certification you know how to use and maintain a revolver before you may purchase one. This applies to both private transfers and dealer sales.

3. You would also need a usage certification for how you use your firearm. If you hunt, for instance, you’d need to pass a course in using firearms for hunting. This would allow you to hunt, but not to carry for self defense. That would be a different certification.
[…]
In addition to the written test, the trainer should also be allowed to veto anyone who is not of sound mind and body to successfully & safely exercise the tasks associates with the specific certification.
[..]
So, for ANY transfer of ownership, the buyer would present the first two credentials to the seller. The seller would need to be satisfied of their validity and may verify them and the buyer’s identification. The seller is legally responsible for verifying the buyer is legal. Bam. Private sales now require valid credentials.
[…]
If you are carrying a firearm (open carry, or if your concealed carry fails to remain concealed, or whenever anyone has a question about a person carrying a firearm, they may ask to see the *three* qualification cards above to verify the person in question is well trained.”

Yep. Three/3/drei different and separate permission slips. For each type and purpose of weapon. Got an AR for hunting, target shooting, and home defense? That’s one “Firearm Safety” card, one semiauto rifle card, one hunting card, one self defense card, and one sporting card. Five permission slips just for the one weapon.

Each individually subject to an arbitrary veto by a private party with no appeal.

Perhaps you think Chabot is merely a troll running as a self-declared “Libertarian” and he isn’t representative of the party. It happens.

Nope.

“Just a few hours ago, by unanimous consent, the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire gave their support to Brian Chabot’s campaign to represent NH in the US Senate.”

Johnson and Weld are not simply national level anomalies. The state parties are as thoroughly corrupted. I now officially and unanimously add the LP to the list of parties for whom I will never ever vote, should I decide to fill out a ballot.

Added: Dear Bog, Chabot is the LPNH’s vice chair. And they really did officially nominate him for Senate.
