The United States government is an embarrassment, but, as long as the politics works to put Republicans into office when they don't belong there it will continue.
So long as the American media continues to quote Republicans and give them center stage nothing will be done in the USA capitol. The climate crisis is devastating across the country and the biggest problems the Republicans face today is whether or not they can find enough head wind to falsely accuse and impeach the President. This is an international disgrace. I haven't decided what national embarrassment is worse, the return of the Cold War, Great Britain's pandering for dollars or the USA and the climate crisis.
Did I say the NSA was worthless? It is. The NSA is actually asking 'pretty please' don't attack us anymore.
...Snow-removal continues (click here) at Ralph Wilson Stadium, where citizens are being paid $10 an hour and getting tickets to shovel out 220,000 tons of snow. Cuomo called those efforts “impractical” and questioned whether the 1 p.m. game should be played Sunday.
As of Thursday morning, the game was still on for 1 p.m., with the final decision whether to play or where to play resting with the NFL. Bills’ practice again was canceled, another complicating factor as the NFL weighs just what to do about this game. By early afternoon, Pro Football Talk was reporting that possible site options include Detroit, Toronto and New Jersey....
The hideousness of it all. The biggest concern coming out of Buffalo, New York is whether or not the citizens in Ralph Wilson Stadium will get the field shoveled out in time for the football game.

| NSA chief warns Chinese cyber attacks could shut U.S. infrastructure (click here) 3:30 am -- By Patricia Zengerle
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China and "probably one or two" other countries have the ability to invade and possibly shut down computer systems of U.S. power utilities, aviation networks and financial companies, Admiral Mike Rogers, the director of the U.S. National Security Agency, said on Thursday.
Testifying to the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on cyber threats, Rogers said digital attackers have been able to penetrate such systems and perform "reconnaissance" missions to determine how the networks are put together.
"What concerns us is that access, that capability, can be used by nation-states, groups or individuals to take down that capability," he said.
Rogers said China was one of the countries with that capability, but that there were others....
It shouldn't. There is no such thing as a secure computer. And what is Congress doing today? Making hate filled statements to run their political game on the country's dime. |
