No one would be stupid enough to nominate him for anything. (take that back, Yes, there are a whole
lot of stupid people out there..a whole lot!!!) ???

____________________________________________________________________________________
President Biden inherited a lot of intractable problems, but perhaps none is as disruptive as the cyber war between the United States and Russia simmering largely under the radar. Last March, with the coronavirus spreading uncontrollably across the United States, Russian cyber soldiers released their own contagion by sabotaging a tiny piece of computer code buried in a popular piece of software called "SolarWinds." The hidden virus spread to 18,000 government and private computer networks by way of one of those software updates we all take for granted. The attack was unprecedented in audacity and scope. Russian spies went rummaging through the digital files of the U.S. departments of Justice, State, Treasury, Energy, and Commerce and for nine months had unfettered access to top-level communications, court documents, even nuclear secrets. And by all accounts, it's still going on.

Brad Smith: I think from a software engineering perspective, it's probably fair to say that this is the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen.

Brad Smith is president of Microsoft. He learned about the hack after the presidential election this past November. By that time, the stealthy intruders had spread throughout the tech giants' computer network and stolen some of its proprietary source code used to build its software products. More alarming: how the hackers got in… piggy-backing on a piece of third party software used to connect, manage and monitor computer networks.

The last 4 words in the last sentence in paragraph 1 above are very frightening:"It's still going on.

The second paragraph is also very frightening...................:
Brad Smith: I think from a software engineering perspective, it's probably fair to say that this is the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen.


Also think about these 2 sentences, beginning of paragraph 3:........Brad Smith is president of Microsoft. He learned about the hack after the presidential election this past November.....Well the president of
Microsoft didn't find out about this until November 2020, while the attack started in December of 2019..

..Yes, the abbreviations are easier to use, but some of them are very difficult to interpret. I often
need to look up many of them, and finding the meaning is often very hard. Don't assume we
all know the meaning of the abbreviations, because many of us do not know the meaning.
...Consequently, the full meaning of a post is often lost. I respectfully request that we use full
words unless everyone knows the meaning. For example: we all know the meaning of the G.O.P.,
but there are so many we do not know the meaning of. Thank You for reading this...

...Trump could have ordered protections that would have protected people & saved lives.
Instead, Trump said it was...a hoax. He did very little from the federal government's point of view. (almost nothing) For a while, he didn't wear a mask. He didn't care, and that action totally proves it.

...And One More .......will be his language before the .."riot at the capital"

...DeSantis like Cruz is sure he can get away with it. This will follow him forever. You don't lower flags for a bigot and a hate monger. That becomes your legacy. If DeSantis did this as a favor to Trump, then DeSantis is a fool. I thought DeSantis was smarter than this, but he is not. He thinks he knows the
people in Florida, but a lot of them will use this as a reason to vote against him...That is not just one
time, but forever and forever. Further, this one move will be a talking point about DeSantis forever.
....Again, he is sure he can get away with it, but he can't

Scroll down to see section on ..2018 Election.. I was wondering about his next election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz

Cruz was elected last in 2018. Hit the link above to see the 2018 election results. Senators are elected for 6 years. I wish it were sooner, but Cruz knows the time frame. 2024 is a long time away.

After months of "Impeachment Hearings" based on that idea, we have a new example. Of course, Cruz
didn't think there would be any consequences for going to Cancun at this time. It was his, "Vacation" with his family, and the rest of the world didn't matter at all.
... And further, it never occurred to Senator Cruz that anyone would find out or disagree with his, "Vacation." If it had occurred to him, then he would not have gone to Cancun while much of Texas has no "electricity."

...But Teddy boy was sure it would not matter at all, and he never thought of the "CONSEQUENCES"
because there would be...."NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL."

And that proves that Ted Cruz is not smart at all, IN FACT HE IS VERY "STUPID."

I know we don't like this ...."Social Distancing"

I have had pneumonia. Stay away from others & wear a mask.
.....much better than time in the hospital or pneumonia......I think so...

WHERE THE US STANDS NOW..

The seven-day average of daily new cases is now 90,416 -- down from a peak of about 250,000 in early January, according to Johns Hopkins University.

As of Sunday, 67,023 people were hospitalized with Covid-19 -- about half the record-high of 132,447 set on January 6, according to the COVID Tracking Project.

But Covid-19 deaths are still painfully high. More than 42,500 Americans have died from Covid-19 in just the past two weeks. That's an average of more than 3,000 lives lost every day.

I DON'T AGREE....3000 DEATHS A DAY IS NOT "IMPROVING". THIS HEADLINE IS A LIE IN MY
OPINION.......

Think about this..

This is the equivalent of 150 dead in a plane crash...... times 20 every Day...
so instead of 40 crashes a day, we are down to 20 crashes a day...
