ESPIONAGE ACT VIOLATION? HILLARY EXPOSES Names Of Hidden Intelligence Officials In Emails Through "Gross Negligence" » 100percentfedUp.com:

"One thing we know for sure, with this corrupt administration, anything could happen. Obama seems to have mastered the art of punishing America. Will the most corrupt President to ever occupy our White House, be the one responsible for finally putting end to the Clinton Crime Syndicate…or does she know too much?

Hillary Clinton posted and shared the names of concealed U.S. intelligence officials on her unprotected email system.
Federal records reveal that Clinton swapped these highly classified names on an email account that was vulnerable to attack and was breached repeatedly by Russia-linked hacker attempts. These new revelations — "

Ask Slashdot: How Do You Create A Highly-Secure Password?

Ask Slashdot: How Do You Create A Highly-Secure Password? - Slashdot:
"An anonymous reader writes:
A security lab at Carnegie Mellon performed a study on password security recently, and issued a warning about common user misconceptions.
For example, 'ieatkale88' would require 4 billion more guesses than 'iloveyou', because 'iloveyou' is one of the most common strings in passwords.
And the word 'pAsswOrd' would take 4,000 times more guesses than 'p@ssw0rd', simply because "In modern day password-cracking tools, replacing letters with numbers or symbols is predictable."
But then what passwords are secure in the face of these modern password-cracking tools?.."


Durex takes couples' phones away, enjoys wild viral hit

Durex takes couples' phones away, enjoys wild viral hit - CNET
You know that Mark Zuckerberg wants you to share and share alike.
All the time. Until you're dead. Or even after.
Somewhere, though, in what remains of your heart, there's a desperation to just be in the sun with the one you love and have no tech to distract you.
This is exactly the dream given to some people by condom maker Durex.
In a wonderful experiment, it challenged couples to go on vacation and leave their phones and iPads at home.
The company claims that 40 percent of people are less likely to try friskiness if their partner's on the phone in bed. Gadgets have truly turned into love interests.
So Durex created the #DoNotDisturb hashtag (wait, that's dragging people toward tech, isn't it?) and sent six couples away on vacation. 
Half were allowed gadgets. 
Half were not.
The company then posted the results to YouTube, where almost 20 million people have already come to watch.
Even more entertaining was her annoyance at her partner who's texting with someone else over dinner. 
She was angry, but she still had her phone in her hand.
The core depressing truth emerges at the end of the video.
One loving man admits to his partner that he can't make it last. 
He says that the tech will creep back in, but he promises it won't be as bad as before.
Should she believe him? I'm not confident."

June 6, D-Day Normandy Invasion Anniversary

June 6, D-Day Normandy Invasion Anniversary - The DENISE SIMON EXPERIENCE Blog
On June 6, 1944, nearly 160,000 Allied troops landed along a heavily fortified, 50-mile stretch of French coastline in the historic operation known as D-Day. 
More than 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded on the beaches of Normandy, but by day’s end, the Allies had gained a foothold to begin liberating Europe.

Iran rejects US charge of being leading terror sponsor | Fox News: "

TEHRAN, Iran –  Iran has rejected an annual U.S. State Department report that called it the world's leading sponsor of terrorism.

State TV on Sunday quotes Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari as saying the report is "false" and further evidence of the "lack of credibility of reports by the U.S. State Department."

Credit binge could hit $1 trillion. Yes, that's a 'T'

Credit binge could hit $1 trillion. Yes, that's a 'T':
"Just one trip to the cupcake store — plus a follow-up call to my credit card company — gave me a glimpse into how Americans are moving closer to ringing up $1 trillion in credit card and other debt.
On a whim, I pulled out my credit card to buy six extra cupcakes to add a little variety to the dessert table for my son's high school graduation party.
I had already paid for my order of 50 cookies-and-creme cupcakes weeks earlier, and I was picking up the goodies for the party.
Oddly enough, my credit card was rejected on the spot for a $12 purchase for those extra cupcakes. Sure, my spending was way up after the added expenses during the final weeks of my son's senior year.
But believe me, I was nowhere near my credit limit.
My immediate thought: Someone hacked into my card.
 I dug for cash, lugged my cupcakes home and called the credit card issuer.
While waiting on the phone to find out what happened — nothing did, the clerk somehow ran into a glitch at the store — the card issuer's automated system suggested that I update my income for their records.
The recorded voice planted the thought that I could soon qualify for a larger line of available credit. One minute, I need to cough up cash to pay for six cupcakes.
Another minute, I'm likely to add hundreds or thousands more dollars onto my credit line.
Say good-bye to the credit crunch and the Great Recession.
Credit card issuers are pushing cashback and 0% credit cards, opening up doors for the subprime borrower and offering bigger lines of credit when possible.
The number of new credit card accounts jumped to 80.3 million — up 16.3% from a year earlier, according to the American Bankers Association's latest Credit Card Market Monitor.
New accounts are being driven, in part, by a 26% increase year-over-year in new subprime accounts, which bankers say still remain below prerecession levels, according to the ABA Credit Card Monitor for May 2016...
...About $662 billion in credit card debt is outstanding, according to data from Moody's Analytics and Equifax.
That figure includes $593 billion in outstanding balances on bank cards and $68.8 billion on retail cards for specific merchants.
Add about $320 billion in consumer finance loans and other consumer credit, and you get closer to a much-talked-about $1 trillion figure."

Gun Shop Owner Stands to Challenge Obama on Second Amendment — Listen Closely to the President’s Response | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"President Barack Obama did his best to convince a gun owner that it is possible to enact “common sense” firearms laws without infringing on Americans’ Second Amendment rights. His remarks came during a PBS-hosted town hall meeting in Elkhart, Indiana, on Wednesday.

Following the “NewsHour” broadcast, Obama took a “few bonus questions” from the audience. Gun shop owner Doug Rhude challenged the president’s stance on the Second Amendment."

Green Energy Doesn’t Work Without Energy Storage That Doesn’t Exist Yet

Green Energy Doesn’t Work Without Energy Storage That Doesn’t Exist Yet:
"Scientists from the University of East Anglia found wind and solar power can’t compete with conventional electricity without economical energy storage systems that don’t exist.
The research published Friday concludes without economical energy storage systems, wind and solar power simply aren’t that useful due to their unreliability and intermittent nature.
The study argues the money used to financially support wind and solar power should be spent supporting research into bringing down the costs of energy storage.
“We need sufficient storage and more investment in storage systems in order for renewable energy to reach its full potential,” said Dr. Konstantinos Chalvatzis, co-author of the paper, in an press statement emailed to The Daily Caller News Foundation..."

EXCLUSIVE: Hillary Clinton Posted Names of Hidden Intelligence Officials On Her Email - Breitbart:
"Hillary Clinton posted and shared the names of concealed U.S. intelligence officials on her unprotected email system.
Federal records reveal that Clinton swapped these highly classified names on an email account that was vulnerable to attack and was breached repeatedly by Russia-linked hacker attempts.
These new revelations — reminiscent of the Valerie Plame scandal during George W. Bush’s tenure — could give FBI investigators the evidence they need to make a case that Clinton violated the Espionage Act by mishandling national defense information through “gross negligence.”
Numerous names cited in Clinton’s emails have been redacted in State Department email releases with the classification code “B3 CIA PERS/ORG,” a highly specialized classification that means the information, if released, would violate the Central Intelligence Act of 1949..."

Retiree Obligations, Lack of Cash Hampers Michigan's Fiscal Condition

Retiree Obligations, Lack of Cash Hampers Michigan's Fiscal Condition [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"Retiree obligations and cash solvency for short-term expenses are hampering Michigan's fiscal condition, according to a new report.
The Mercatus Center at George Mason University recently published its “Ranking the States by Fiscal Condition” report.
According to the report's fiscal guidelines, Michigan ranks 35th, down one spot from the previous year.
...In this year's ranking, Michigan declined in terms of budget solvency because the state budget increased faster than revenue projections.
Michigan advanced in three categories during the fiscal year:
Long-run solvency moved up one spot from 25th to 24th; service-level solvency advanced three spots from 33rd to 30th; and trust-fund solvency progressed three spots from 35th to 32nd.
The state remained at 34th for cash solvency.
The state falls short of the national average in all five major categories. 
Most notably, Norcross and Olivia Gonzalez peg Michigan’s unfunded pension liabilities at $123 billion, 42 percent above the national average.
These unfunded liabilities, combined with other post-employment benefit plans and state debt, result in future expenses equal to about 38 percent of total state personal income..."

Hillary University: Bill Clinton Bagged $16.46 Million from For-Profit College as State Dept. Funneled $55 Million Back

Hillary University: Bill Clinton Bagged $16.46 Million from For-Profit College as State Dept. Funneled $55 Million Back - Breitbart:
Laureate-Education-Bill-Hillary-Clinton-APWith her campaign sinking in the polls, Hillary Clinton has launched a desperate attack against Trump University to deflect attention away from her deep involvement with a controversial for-profit college that made the Clintons millions, even as the school faced serious legal scrutiny and criminal investigations.
In April 2015, Bill Clinton was forced to abruptly resign from his lucrative perch as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company. 
The reason for Clinton’s immediate departure: Clinton Cash revealed, and Bloomberg confirmed, that Laureate funneled Bill Clinton $16.46 million over five years while Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. pumped at least $55 million to a group run by Laureate’s founder and chairman, Douglas Becker, a man with strong ties to the Clinton Global Initiative. 
Laureate has donated between $1 million and $5 million (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton Foundation
Progressive billionaire George Soros is also a Laureate financial backer..."

Liberals Want To Ban The Most Iconic 9/11 Picture From Museum

Liberals Want To Ban The Most Iconic 9/11 Picture From Museum:

"September 11th was a tragic day for our country, but it was also a monumental day. It devastated Americans, but also brought us closer together, and served as a reminder of what is really important. Now, it turns out that one museum is trying to erase the event together by banning one of the most iconic pictures the day."



Minimum Wage vs. the Carwasheros

Minimum Wage vs. the Carwasheros - Reason.com
Labor activists have long claimed that working conditions at New York City's car washes are the worst of the worst. 
...Now that labor groups have succeeded in dramatically raising labor costs, the city's car washes will simply play catch-up with the rest of the country—replacing men wielding hoses and rags with nimble units of spinning brushes and massive hot air blowers. It's already starting to happen.
...Operators with the means to make a significant capital investment could eliminate most of their workers. Mike's Minit Man (renamed Mike's Car Wash) was one of the first in the country to go fully automated in 1978. 
Founder Joe Dahm invested in state-of-the-art machinery, including powerful hot air blowers that replaced the crew charged with drying off vehicles as they exited the tunnel. 
The cost of a basic exterior wash at Mike's fell to just $2, but the increase in speed and volume led to a significant revenue boost. 
"We think those blowers set us up for success," says Mike Dahm, now the company's president.
The Free-Vacuum Revolution
...Enning's answer to the interior problem was straightforward: 
Set up an area with free vacuums and put customers to work cleaning their own vehicles. 
The idea would later catch on in the U.S. thanks to Benny Alford, a second-generation car wash operator in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who traveled to Germany in 1996 to observe a Mr. Wash facility. "You just couldn't find many people who wanted to make a career out of vacuuming cars anymore," says Justin Alford, Benny's son and business partner.
Benny Alford combined the free vacuum idea with another labor-minimizing technology: 
Working with a firm called Innovative Control Systems, he installed the first automated sales attendant, so that customers could line up at an electronic gate and pay for a wash without ever interacting with a human. 
Alford opened his first exterior-only car wash tunnel with free vacuums in August 2001. 
The setup required only two employees on-site to make sure everything was running smoothly..."

Flashback To All The People Who Praised Chavez’s Socialism 

Flashback To All The People Who Praised Chavez’s Socialism :
"Dead Socialist Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez was praised throughout his life by many figures in academia, journalism and Hollywood despite his brutal regime.
This praise included Salon writer David Sirota’s piece after the leader’s death, titled “Hugo Chavez’s economic miracle.”
In British publication The New Statesman, a headline as Chavez was nearing death in January 2013 was “Hugo Chavez: Man against the world,” and its sub-headline read “As illness ends Hugo Chavez’s rule in Venezuela, what will his legacy be? Richard Gott argues he brought hope to a continent.”
This praise of Chavez by so many who enjoyed the benefits of living in a capitalist society while looking at the economic record of the late leader, as well as what his succcessor President Nicolas Maduro, has come undone.
Mexican NGO, the Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice, published its annual ranking of urban crime in January 2016, and found that in 2015, Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, was the most murderous place on Earth. 
Caracas has 119.87 murders per 100,000 people.
Other than personal concerns for safety, Venezuelans suffer from lacking economic opportunity due to low oil prices and government mismanagement of the state-owned oil firm..."

Does the #SendAScepticToSpace Crowd Realize Astronauts are Skeptics Too?

Does the #SendAScepticToSpace Crowd Realize Astronauts are Skeptics Too? | Somewhat Reasonable
Friends of the Earth (Australia) has started a crowd-source and social media campaign called  #SendASkepticToSpace
The idea, you see, is that if an skeptic of anthroprogenic global warming (AGW) was put in orbit around the Earth, he’d finally see how fragile our planet is, forget what the data says, and join the alarmist camp.
Do these folks realize that at least two heroes from the Apollo program are among the most prominent and learned skeptics of the discredited hypothesis that human activity is causing an unavoidable climate crisis? I’m guessing the answer is no. 
Walter Cunningham (Apollo 7) and Harrison “Jack” Schmitt (Apollo 17) have each been to space, and have spoken about the problems with the AGW hypothesis at Heartland’s International Conferences on Climate Change. [See Cunningham’s presentationshere, and Schmitt’s presentations here.]
Someone was kind enough to nominate The Heartland Institute for the trip. I’d be happy to represent the organization (as would Walt Cunningham), but considering the campaign has raised a whopping $170 as of this post, maybe I shouldn’t start taking stress tests just yet. The leading candidates for the trip, by the way, are:
  1. Donald Trump
  2. Tony Abbott
  3. George Christensen
  4. Greg Hunt
  5. Jim Inhofe
Watch the video below for the pitch.

SICK: Obama Launches SHOCKINGLY Racist Attack Against "White Americans"

SICK: Obama Launches SHOCKINGLY Racist Attack Against "White Americans":

"Are you a white person who isn’t happy with the way that President Barack Obama has handled the country? Well, then Barack would like to know why you’re not giving him enough credit, you racist!

That’s at least the implicit message of an unhinged, racist address our country’s chief executive gave Thursday in Elkhart County, Indiana. In it, he decried Republicans campaigning against “welfare queens” and talking about “makers and takers.”

“Their basic message is anti-government, anti-immigrant, anti-trade, and let’s face it — it’s anti-change,” Obama said, according to Breitbart."

Nearly half of Bay County public school students get subsidized lunches

Nearly half of Bay County public school students get subsidized lunches | MLive.com:
"BAY CITY, MI -- Nearly half of the students in three Bay County public school districts receive free or subsidized lunches, a jump from the numbers just 10 years before, according to the latest state data.
The percentage of students receiving these benefits in Bay City, Bangor and Pinconning school districts hovers near 50 percent.
...Shelley Blair, director of Food Services for Bangor Township Schools, said that boils down to three things: advertising, accessibility and stigma.
"There's not such a stigma with this anymore," Blair said. "The schools put it out there more. We get it out there to all those families."
And, she said, with online application processes families can log on, sign up and see if they're eligible without having to leave the home."
