Of course not. But the president and his wife are no doubt ready for whatever TV show wants then next! So weird how the bureaucracy just isn’t interested in getting its act together. Like they can’t be bothered.

Two weeks after North Korea threatened to launch nuclear strikes against the U.S., the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that the federal government has still not implemented all of the recommendations made eight years ago to prevent catastrophic blackouts caused by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.

The recommendations were made in 2008 by the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electro-Magnetic Pulse Attack (EMP Commission).

Although the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Energy (DOE) have taken actions to prepare against an EMP attack, they “have not established a coordinated approach to identifying and implementing key risk management activities to address EMP risks,” concluded a March 24 GAO report.

In addition, “DHS has not fully leveraged opportunities to collect key risk inputs – namely threat, vulnerability, and consequence information – to inform comprehensive risk assessments of electromagnetic events,” even though such events “pose great risk to the security of the nation.”
