Seattle—A federal jury on Friday convicted a former Seattle tech worker of several charges related to a massive hack of Capital One bank and other companies in 2019. Paige Thompson, 36, a former Amazon software engineer who used the online handle “erratic,” obtained the personal information of more than 100 million people—a data breach that prompted Capital One to reach a tentative $190 million settlement with affected customers.(Snip)At one point, two former roommates obtained a protection order against her, saying she had been stalking and harassing them. Thompson joined Amazon in 2015 to work at Amazon Web Services, a division that hosted the Capital One data

When it absolutely, positively has to get there … trust your bodyguards! Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz used members of her taxpayer-funded security detail to help her move to her new million-dollar digs—potentially running afoul of ethics rules, The Post has learned.(Snip)Katz also regularly had her security detail show up at her home on weekday mornings in time for her to accompany her kids as the cops drove them to school, after which she returned home, dressed for work and left around 10 a.m., sources said. “She uses the detectives as her personal car service,” one source said. The moves appear to run afoul of provisions
Multiple people including a police officer were shot at a social justice-inspired musical festival in Washington DC. The officer was taken to an area hospital and is in stable condition, police confirmed. The conditions of the other victims remain unknown at this time. The shooting took place Sunday evening near the intersection of 14th and U Street NW, where the Moechella music festival, a Juneteenth celebration, was underway.(Snip)Video shared on Twitter showed revellers twerking on top of cars as shots rang out, forcing people to flee for cover. Other footage shows first responders rendering aid at the scene while a large crowd disperses from the area.
New York City needs to “do better” in preventing black residents from being driven out of their neighborhoods, Mayor Eric Adams said on Sunday, during an address marking the Juneteenth holiday. Speaking in Central Park, Adams compared the modern-day uprooting of people of color from neighborhoods across the US—including the five boroughs—to slavery. “When I was in Ghana last year, [I] saw how families were displaced, torn apart and brought over to America through slavery in the hulls of the ships, living in dungeons, spending months and months living in their human waste, having their babies taken from them, and saw them dispersed and displaced,” he said.
Kentucky Police has launched a manhunt for a man who punched Democrat Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. The attack happened while Fischer was at an event at the Fourth Street Live entertainment complex located in Downtown Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday.(Snip)It is unclear whether Fischer was targeted or the attack was random and unprovoked. Authorities have not disclosed what the mayor was doing when he was punched but he did confirm he attended a Pride event that day, while several Juneteenth celebrations were also hosted by Fourth Street Live over the weekend. 'Awesome energy at the Pride Parade! Louisville stands with our LGBTQ+ residents today & every day. You make our city
The radical pro-abortion group, Jane’s Revenge, is planning more acts of domestic terrorism when the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade is revealed, dubbed a “Night of Rage: An Autonomous Call to Action Against Patriarchal Supremacy.” The group posted its plans on the Anarchists Library website at the end of May in expectation of the ruling, expected sometime in June. Here are some excerpts from the manifesto: This is an event that should inspire rage in millions of people who can get pregnant…and yet, the response thus far has been tepid.(Snip)The next step is carrying that anger out into the world and expressing it physically.
Democrats in the Massachusetts state legislature have approved legislation to provide tens of thousands of illegal aliens with driver’s licenses—a vital tool for the open borders lobby. As Breitbart News reported, Gov. Charlie Baker (R) vetoed the legislation that would allow tens of thousands of illegal aliens in the state to obtain driver’s licenses. Baker said he vetoed the plan because it “significantly increases the risk that noncitizens will be registered to vote.” With majorities in the state House and Senate, Democrats have overridden Baker’s veto to ensure illegal aliens can begin obtaining driver’s licenses beginning July 1, 2023.

Texas taxpayers are paying the price for Governor Greg Abbott's plan to bus migrants who crossed into the U.S. illegally to Washington, D.C. As of June 7, $2.9 million in taxpayer funds have sent only 1,778 immigrants to the nation's capital, according to Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) documents–and the figure is expected to rise as more buses have already been deployed and Abbott shows no signs of slowing the stunt. More than $1 million of the total cost has gone toward security alone, while taxpayers are also footing the bill for drivers and GPS tracking, among other things.
Police in Uvalde, Texas never attempted to open the door of a classroom while a gunman spent 77 minutes killing 19 children and two teachers who were inside, it is claimed. Surveillance footage from inside Robb Elementary School is said to show shows that police made no effort to open the door, and there is reason to believe it may even have been unlocked, a law enforcement source told the San Antonio Express-News. The surveillance footage from inside Robb Elementary School during the May 24 massacre has not been publicly released, but has been seen by the Express-News. Robb Elementary had an automatic door locking system in place,
Two Uvalde cops passed up a chance to take out the gunman who killed 19 kids and two teachers at a Texas elementary school before he entered the building, according to a report. The officers worked for the city, and one was armed with an AR-15-style rifle as the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary School unfolded. But they hesitated to open fire at Salvador Ramos because they did not want to hit any nearby children, Chief Deputy Ricardo Rios of the Zavalla County Sheriff’s office told The New York Times.(Snip)The missed opportunity came moments after a school district officer drove past Ramos without seeing him
Mayor Eric Adams is giving city workers who were fired for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccination another shot at getting their jobs back–provided they opt to get jabbed quickly, The Post has learned.
Internal memos delivered Friday to unvaccinated ex-employees told recipients they have an “opportunity to return to employment if [they] become full vaccinated.” The ex-workers have until June 30 to get the first dose and make arrangements for a second dose by August 15. “Once you provide proof of full vaccination (both doses), you will be reinstated to your civil service title at your most recent salary within two weeks of submission of proof
When the royal family of Serbia needed cash to rehab their palaces in Belgrade, they came hat in hand to—Hunter Biden. Crown Prince Alexander Karađorđević of Yugoslavia and his wife, Crown Princess Katherine of Serbia, met with Biden in November 2015, and didn’t hesitate asking the then-vice president’s son for an expensive favor, emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive show.(Snip)
At the time, Vice President Biden handled a broad international portfolio for the White House that included Serbia. Two months before the call, he had met with Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic when he visited the United States. And just nine months after Hunter’s chat
Disney’s upcoming adventure film “Strange World” will feature a gay teen romance—the first in an animated feature produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The film, which is scheduled to open on Nov. 23, will follow three generations of a family of explorers and take viewers “to a place of infinite mystery unlike anything you’ve ever seen,” according to a trailer released by the studio earlier this month.(Snip)In one of them, Ethan (Young-White) flirts with a boy named Diazo in front of his friends, who tease him in a friendly way. His father, Searcher Clade (Gyllenhaal), later joins in and embarrasses him in “an overeager show of acceptance,”

The federal government could take action against U.S. airlines on behalf of customers, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Saturday. Many Americans have endured delays, cancelations, and other travel complications during the coronavirus pandemic, and in recent months, after many pandemic-related travel restrictions were lifted. Following Buttigieg’s own flight being canceled, forcing him to drive from Washington to New York, he said his department has authority to enforce action against airlines that do not sufficiently maintain consumer-protection standards, potentially requiring them to hire more staff. "That is happening to a lot of people, and that is exactly why we are paying

CNN correspondent John Harwood defended President Biden against critics who have concerns over the president's age during a segment on Sunday’s "Reliable Sources." On Thursday, The Atlantic writer Mark Leibovich penned an article pleading Biden not to run for re-election in 2024 due to concerns over his age. Biden, who is already the oldest person to hold the office, will turn 80 in November and would be 82 by the beginning of a potential second term. "Let me put this bluntly: Joe Biden should not run for re-election in 2024. He is too old," Leibovich wrote. CNN host Brian Stelter
79-year-old Joe Biden fell off his bike while riding near his home in Rehoboth Beach on Saturday morning.
Secret Service agents swarmed the fallen commander-in-chief as he needed help in getting back up.
He didn’t fall while he was riding it, as most people do…
He literally was standing still, and he tipped right over.
Pro-abortion activists dressed in blood-soaked outfits and brandishing dolls held a protest outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Saturday as the court is poised to overturn Roe V. Wade in the coming weeks.
Protesters from the Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights group gathered outside Barrett's home in Falls Church, Virginia, waving signs calling on the Supreme Court to protect women's federal abortion rights.
The group also carried dolls and wore white pants with blood stains around the crotch, which they said represented an increase in the number of forced births that would take place if Barrett and her fellow conservative justices strike down Roe v. Wade.
Anti-Trump Peggy Noonan is out of control
32 replies
In her June 18/19 column at the Wall Street Journal, Ms. Noonan takes Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" slap at Trump voters and goes one — nay, two better. She refers to voters who question the results of the 2020 presidential election as "kooks, crooks, and freaks" and then smears the citizens who went to Washington, D.C. January 6, 2021 as "[t]hose poor stupid people."
What is the basis for this criticism, which, arguably, is less ad hominem and, more accurately, descriptive of her mindset?
Perhaps Ms. Noonan has not read Margot Cleveland's analysis in The Federalist showing how Georgia election officials failed to enforce the state's election laws in 2020.

Extreme heat early in the summer season is calling into question the strength of electricity and power grids across the country, as warnings about brownouts and requests to conserve power continue to rise. As temperatures increase, the risk of power outages grows along with them. Warmer weather means higher power usage as people turn to devices like air-conditioning units and fans to try to cool their homes and offices. A May report from the non-profit North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) predicted a "high risk of energy emergencies during peak summer conditions" in the Upper Midwest. "We've been doing this

For any men wanting to donate blood, make sure you’re medically self-aware.
For example, you should be adequately informed as to whether you’ve been impregnated.
Such was a lesson reportedly learned by Leslie Sinclair this month. The central Scotland resident had hoped to give life-sustaining fluid to others in need. Sadly, the effort encountered coagulation.
According to the Daily Mail, the 66-year-old was handed a form asking if he was currently pregnant. Furthermore, the facility needed to know if he’d been knocked up within the last half-year.
Senator Bernie Sanders, a socialist parasite who has never had a career or gainful employment outside politics, has thoughts on how Apple should make its phones. (Snip) If consumers want USB-C charging ports, they can buy Android-based devices. Apple is notorious for selling ridiculously overpriced devices and finding a thousand ways to gate customers in so that they're buying $2,000 monitor stands or some other nonsense. That's why I would never buy or use Apple. But clearly a whole lot of people want Apple devices. And they're willing to pay premium prices for them. If Apple were an actual monopoly,
Joe Biden has nothing to offer
20 replies
Near the end of an especially tumultuous week in his tumultuous presidency, Joe Biden gave his first media interview in four months to someone who wasn’t a late-night comedian. For a public hungering for answers, it wasn’t worth the wait.
The president chose The Associated Press and the sit-down lasted a little less than 30 minutes, but that was more than enough time for him to demonstrate again he’s got no new ideas or even a new way of packaging old ideas.
Biden acknowledges America is in a funk, but shows no sense of compassion or determination to turn the tide.

Experts say that transgenderism is most certainly not a mental illness. One look at his front yard (not to mention his boudoir shot) says otherwise.
