Unrelated but you have to wonder a possible payout of $450,000 per illegal alien separate from family by President Trump. Given the effects that this bill will cause and that possibility, is President Biden's Administration actually trying to force a rebellion or are they just that out of touch?

She continued to do that, if you were paying attention.

While I would prefer a hard record, a digital one is a great firstvstep.

@larry6601 Larry,c you forget, the programmers control how the computers work. I have already seen electronic data changed at a level that leaves little or no records if you operate at the right security levels.

@larry6601 i prefer a hard copy which can be verified. I will acknowledge i am not a programmer; but I have worked closely with them. Most are highly professional and ethical people. Unfortunately, there are programmers who are neither.

@larry6601 i am not going to say open source. My problem is the programmer, their ethics and the country/company that hires them. How many of the hacks come from countries that provide large companies with their software engineers? How many have designed various forms of mallard or ransomware? You assume that everyone is honest and ethical; I don't. Some years ago one of the major voting software originated in Venezuela, Madero was in charge. Do you think that a communist dictator won't have his hands in the mix. I have lost track of exactly where the software is written now, but I worry; not about programming skills; but rather, as I said, the morals, ethics and political beliefs of the sources.

@larry6601 That is where we will have to agree to disagree. Arizona this last was set for 19 inch ballots and the ballots, and from a third to a half of polling places had 20 inch wide ballots delivered. This was a software glitch, but it could easily have been changed by a software adjustment. In 2020, there was a software update shortly before the election that was improperly installed. The issue was verified to have occurred, but no neutr al party check of that update was made to my knowledge. I would agree that most voter fraud does take place by other methods; but data driven systems are only as honest as the people do who develop and run it. I have very little faith that an industry which predominately supports the Democrat Party or the Left and feels like arson and physical assault are acceptable forms of protest won't misuse their abilities would not use them believing the ends justify the means. This isn't just paranoid thinking, I was around. Special and Psy Ops communities, and have some idea of what is possible from that angle.

@larry6601 Ranked choice and open primaries are abominations. The open primary means that the top two or three vote getters run against each for the office. Which means in California, no Republicans or Conservative stands a chance at state wide office. You run enough candidates in the primary dilute the vote and there usually the choice is between the two most left candidates. As electronic voting, the weak point is how politically lopsided that we find both programmers and firms are. Your basic assumption is that there will be enough review to insure an algorithm that adds, subtracts or alters votes can't be inserted into the software without being discovered. My position is that it can be done. Not strictly analogous, but we have seen the social media copies place there thumbs on the scales of an election by either suppressing news or hyping it for their preferred candidate. Run this scenario in your head. Company X is run by a firm believer in socialism (or venal enough to be bribed or weak enough to submit to threats). He/she hires socialist believers for whatever reason to write or update election software; and they modify it to alter the vote count in someway. This altered software is than provided to voting districts or states who support the cause. An alternative is sending people from the company to update software immediately before an election. In districts supporting their side no one will be allowed to challenge the election and the company will refuse to allow the software to be checked. This defeats all of your safeguards because from the company to the user all are in on the scheme. In other words, a computer can only do what its software tells it to do. Hacking the program while running may be impossible, but corrupting the software is very doable if a group desires it.

@larry6601 I am no professional programmer, but on several occassions I have worked closely with them in developing programs/record systems that I needed. 8n at least one case, I caught the assumption that the programmer made that turned an existing data base into garbage when forgot that those entering the data did not all finish an entry the same (some added a space). The affect was cumulative, throwing each next entry off by an additional amount, the NRC wasn't happy with the results and it rolled down hill. I have done some simple programming myself after I bought my first computer back in 1982. So I do brave great respect for those with the patience to work at it. My work involved command and control, planning for, responding to, and recovering from various emergencies and disasters (man-made or natural). As a result I have a strong belief that a certain percentage (usually small thank God) are totally unethical, will cut corners or try to cheat. So, I am routinely assume the worst and hope for the best. If you've planned on the worst, anything less is easy. Also effecting my beliefs is the fact that I have spent a great deal of my military time around special ops and electronic security units. Some thing that makes it easy to accept that there are people out there ours and theirs who are willing and able to do not so wonderful things. Not bad when it happens to an enemy, not so much when your side is on the receiving end. Something to remember is that the system used in Arizona (and some other states in 2020) fought releasing information on their system because it was proprietary, not an open system. It was in Arizona where someone from the company made a software upgrade after the machines were certified according to some sources. We'll never know for sure because the court cases never got to discovery. So, to me, these were two red flags that should have been checked and resolved. If you have nothing to hide, why hide.

It is extremely interesting conservatives are always extremists to the left; but they never see extremism on their part. It was like being identified as anti-communists but never as being pro-communist even when they were communjst party members. Either dishonesty or too biased for words.

This questioner suggesting because unelected GS employees under President Trump allowed protection of Ex VP Biden somehow avoids the point that a bureaucrat protected someone protected by a Democrat Congress.
1
I forgot to point out that GS employees can't be fired when a new President enters office, so more important what is the political and ideological position of the bureaucrat; not who is in office at the moment.

@swankyangelo What planet are you from? There are 12 months in an Earth year; while your 10 months of daylight savings time and 4 months of standard equals 14 months. As to being a contrarian, one constant time year around would save a lot. We would agree that changing times is bad. Screws up a person's biological clock leading to possible increases in accidents until the sleep cycle is renewed. It does cause business and personal time issues. Why Standard Time, because it is a standard. The lack of a standard here is only one place, if every country decided to set their own standard, it would be chaotic.

@LeadStarDude Yours is one opinion (I already answered that on another thread. This is not meant as an insult, but I suspect that you are much younger than me and have not traveled or dealt with people or places outside the USA. Nothing wrong with that; however, 8t is part of why you formed your opinion.

A rather misleading lead in, it should be over 109 Democrats join the Rpublicans in condemning socialism. While 14 Democrats refuse to say anything by voting present. Both parties had less than five who didn't cast any vote. The 80 odd Dems who voted against need to be primaries by sane members of their party and replaced by Democrate moderates (if they can be found) or Conservative Republicans. It goes without say, try to replace the 80 o dd as well.

That was a record vote so the names will appear on the record. Socialists and communists your names will be exposed. The socialist like voice votes since there is no record or zccountability.

S D I and others who believe as I do have every right to vote them out of office. They have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution of the USA against all enemies foreign and domestic; and portions of any socialist program violates that Constitution. Their support for socialism violates their oath and in my opinion renders them unfit to hold office. They have a right to their beliefs, and the method to change the Constitution is amendments not oath breaking or betrayal. I will not stop them from trying to legally change things but I will stand in the way of violating the C o nstitution.
1
S D By t he way, it is telling that you believe that wanting to know who they are will lead to violence against them. I find socialists and communists always think of violence toward their opponents as their first choice.
1
S D Whether they should be there is not a question at this point, they are. They took an oath, that I believe that they never meant to honor. Knowing swearing falsely should be a crime. Violating the Constitution should be a crime, and in some cases, it is. Etoile are sentenced for violating someone's rights. Think Federal charges for civil rights violations. Antifa and BLM have repeatedly violated individuals' rights and some Congress people (in both Houses) have conspired to violate citizens' rights by passing unconstitutional laws. We are not going to see them held to account;but yes we can avoid electing them and impeach those who don't honor their oaths.

@Eden8 if your serious, I am sorry for you. So called green energy costs more and isn't clean. Look up what is needed to build either the wind turbines or solar panels let alone the batteries. The wider the use, the greater the toxic waste both from the production and later the material that has to be replaced. The other issue is the land area needed verses the power generated. Yes, lets go Brandon.

@Eden8 By serious meaning believing the BS. It sounds like you don't, so I apologize for that initial response's underlying meaning.

@Eden8 That is a problem that is hard to solve.

Another Biden Official who won't or can't answer a question and uses up time with non-answers.

She lied with a straight face. That alone should disqualify her. She changed her story multiple times in the same hearing; there arevother clips out there where she told different stories. Worse her bio to the committee indicates that she still represents the group in question.
1
Yes, he has delivered: inflation, budget deficits, lack of border enforcement, and anti 2nd Amendment conduct while ignoring crime and real terrorist like Antifa, BLW, etc.
1
They know how to say yes or no, but a yes or no would show what they have or haven't done. No Democrat bureaucrat can survive that.
1
She isn't special needs, she is complying with the Administrations rules of filibustering by talking around the questions.

@suzannehartmann946 You got it.

@pk7ghalm23 I hadn't heard that. Who, When and Where?
1
@pk7ghalm23 Something bothers me about this. This type of document belongs in the Intel Office unless in use. How did he get to it to copy it? What type of unit did he belong to? If I remember, there is only Air National Guard Base there, it has been a number of years, but I don't believe thar has changed.
1
@Weirdfanny No, my last assignment was with AF Electronic Security Command; and my clearance was TS with SCI. I was well briefed on the security system.
1
@Weirdfanny I forgot to add, I spent most of the rest of my time around AF Special Ops units. By the way, the clearance that I had cost between. 50,000 and $100,000 in 1979 dollars. They not only checked my records and past but my wife's and her family's (most foreign nationals overseas). I find it hard to believe that with the checks required for either TS or TS SCI that a 21 year old with questionable background could have gotten access.
1
@pk7ghalm23 If it hasn't changed, that Guard unit was tied to AF Special Ops, so it is conceivable that it could have received the material; my problem than is how he could have seen and copied or duplicated the material unless he was either in the intel shop or someone sc--wed up badly. I suspected some other people either were negligent in their responsibilities or complicit. I saw people separated for far less.
1
@pk7ghalm23 Another source indecated that he worked in the Intel Shop. Some other individuals' careers are potentially at severe risk even if they weren't directly involved.
1
@pk7ghalm23 An Airman 1st Class, someone above him dropped the ball or was involved. He had to be very low in the chain of command.
1
@brrjohnson8131 Possible, but more likely some long service NCO or Officer wasn't keeping their eye on their duty and personnel, and someone who shouldn't have been able to get away with misconduct did. Not at the same level, I took over a function that the previous command hadn't been concerned about. The people doing that job did the minimum or less. It took changing the duty uniform to st andout to keep some of them from being anywhere than where they were supposed to be. The officer that I replaced had been fired (sent home a little over a year into an accompanied three year tour) because of the damage to an aircraft that shouldn't have happened.
1
It has gotten weirder. A 21 year old Airman Basic with at least a Top Secret Clearance; and the way the article phrased it, he may have had Sensitive Compartmented Information access as well since the comment was the highest level top secret information and SCI is the only thing higher that I know. So, how did he obtain that level of clearance? Did his duties require access to the information that he released? Was his supervisor paying any attention to what he was doing?
