10 Cases Proving Trump Right: Armed Clubgoers Could Have Stopped Terrorist
by Tammy on June 18, 2016Because for some reason the legacy media, liberals and President Obama want you to think you are the problem, and you being able to protect yourself is the problem, the media is offering up a shocked response to Trump’s comment that if any of the Orlando Pulse club goers had been armed, they would have been able to take down the terrorist. Yes, that would have been a good thing, and many gays and lesbians seem to think so too, as the Pink Pistols, an LGBT gun owners club is finding out. Their membership soared after the Orlando terror attack. Political Wire posted: Donald Trump “argued again that the mass shooting in Orlando, could have been less deadly had people...

Secret Service Plans to Raise White House Fence by 5 Feet
by Tammy on April 27, 2016So it looks like the Fed and Obama agree: walls work. But I’m also particularly fond of another comment by the Secret Service: “And we have now a society that tends to want to jump over the fence and onto the 18 acres…” Gee, maybe because no one has any respect for Obama, the federal government is a joke, the Secret Service can’t seem to do their job? Just saying. NBC Washington: Secret Service: ‘Current fence simply is not adequate for a modern era’ The U.S. Secret Service plans to raise the height of the White House security fence by 5 feet and add a new concrete foundation to reduce the risk of fence-jumpers, according to a copy of an...

NYC Port Authority Conducts ‘Terror Drill’ at JFK; Neglects To Inform Airport Police
by Tammy on April 6, 2016Like government, a clusterfark of morons putting people’s lives at risk. Via NBC NY: Bystanders didn’t take long to call police last month when they spotted a couple of suspicious men skulking around a New Jersey train station taking photos of security cameras. Port Authority cops turned on lights and sirens and rushed to the scene in hour traffic. But when they got there, the officers were shocked to find that the emergency they had rushed to was only a test. The suspicious men? Port Authority’s own security analysts. According to an incident report obtained by the I-Team, the two men said they were “testing the system.” But what made this test different than the regular drills practiced is that...

CNBC’s Secure Password Tutorial Sent Your Password to 30 Advertisers
by Tammy on March 30, 2016Oops. Another reason to trust just Fox Business 😉 Via Boing Boing. CNBC’s Big Crunch blog put up a well-intentioned, but disastrously designed tutorial on secure password creation, which invited users to paste their passwords into a field to have them graded on how difficult it would be to guess them. Teaching users about password strength is very important for so long as we’re still using them as the first line of defense in an increasingly breach-riven Internet where attackers can use offline brute-force techniques against huge corpuses of badly secure passwords leaked by incompetent online service providers, then recycle those passwords to breach an ever-expanding cloud of services that have been wired to the Internet. For example, an attacker...
