Data-slurping keyboard app makes Mongo mistake with user data • The Register:
"Another week, another open database left online, but this latest case has shown not only sloppy security but also how much data you’re giving up with some apps.
On Tuesday security shop Kromtech released details on a MongoDB database it found unsecured online containing 577GB of data collected by predictive keyboard app AI.type from its over 31 million users.
This included the name, email address and location, along with IMSI and IMEI numbers, IP address, phone spec and OS details, and links to user's social media profiles and photos.
It also slurped 373 million names and phone numbers from the contacts of over six million users.
“Theoretically, it is logical that anyone who has downloaded and installed the Ai.Type virtual keyboard on their phone has had all of their phone data exposed publicly online,” said Bob Diachenko, head of communications at the Kromtech Security Center.
“This presents a real danger for cyber criminals who could commit fraud or scams using such detailed information about the user.
It raises the question once again if it is really worth it for consumers to submit their data in exchange for free or discounted products or services that gain full access to their devices.”..."

How they lie-----New York Times forced to heavily amend another supposed K.T. McFarland 'scoop'

New York Times forced to heavily amend another supposed K.T. McFarland 'scoop'
"The New York Times got ahead of itself again with yet another supposedly hot scoop involving former deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland, the Russians and the 2016 presidential election.
The story, now titled “McFarland’s Testimony About Russia Contacts Is Questioned,” reported originally that an email sent by the former Trump transition official indicated she lied to Congress this summer when she was questioned about disgraced Gen. Michael Flynn's communications with the Russians....
The headline alone has undergone multiple facelifts. 
Here they are, in order of change:

• “McFarland Contradicted Herself on Russia Contacts, Congressional Testimony Shows”
• “Email Counters Aide on Flynn’s Russia Contact”

It then reverted to back to: “McFarland Contradicted Herself on Russia Contacts, Congressional Testimony Shows,” and then changed twice more:

• “Email Counters Testimony On Flynn by Former Aide”
• “Former Aide’s Testimony On Russia Is Questioned”

Multiple headline changes are not the worst of it. 
Not by a long shot.
The original version of the Dec. 4 report began with the following lines:
"An email sent during the transition by President Trump’s former deputy national security adviser, K.T. McFarland, appears to contradict the testimony she gave to Congress over the summer about contacts between the Russian ambassador and Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn.
Ms. McFarland had told lawmakers that she did not discuss or know anything about interactions between Sergey I. Kislyak, who had been Moscow’s ambassador to the United States, and Mr. Flynn, according to Senate documents.
But emails obtained by The New York Times appear to undermine those statements. In a Dec. 29 message about newly imposed Obama administration sanctions against Russia for its election interference, Ms. McFarland, then serving on Mr. Trump’s transition team, told another transition official that Mr. Flynn would be talking to the Russian ambassador that evening.
The discrepancy is likely to add to mounting troubles for the White House that stem from Mr. Flynn’s interactions with Russian officials. He pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to F.B.I. agents about his discussions with Mr. Kislyak about the sanctions."
These four paragraphs have been removed entirely from the Times' report. 
The story’s core message has also been softened considerably.
Where the headline once declared that "McFarland Contradicted Herself on Russia Contacts," the story now reads, “A leading Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee questioned on Monday whether a high-ranking official in Donald J. Trump’s transition team had been deceptive over the summer about her knowledge of discussions between Michael T. Flynn ...”
The report, which was once so sure of itself, now eases away by saying McFarland “might have given ‘false testimony’ in her answers.”
There are no editor’s notes drawing attention to the story’s many changes..."

BREAKING: Key FBI Agent Involved In Russia Investigation, Exonerating Hillary, Targeting Flynn, Also Sent Anti-Trump Text Messages, Fired By Mueller | Daily Wire

BREAKING: Key FBI Agent Involved In Russia Investigation, Exonerating Hillary, Targeting Flynn, Also Sent Anti-Trump Text Messages, Fired By Mueller | Daily Wire:

"On Monday, the FBI’s reputation with regard to its investigation into Hillary Clinton, Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, and its investigation into Trump officials including former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, took a serious hit. That hit came courtesy of FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was fired by Robert Mueller’s special investigation for alleged bias against President Trump. That bias was uncovered based on texts from Strzok apparently signaling his distaste for Trump.

Strzok wasn’t just any agent. Here are some of the events in which he was involved."

"...

Though we might not be able to articulate it, there is a big difference between a little kid playing grownup and, say, this… And that is not a little girl, by the way; that is a young boy as photographed by the left-wing New York Times.

If you share this healthy instinct, this particular Times Thanksgiving Day piece, an article tailor-made to appeal to the pedophile/pederast demography, will undoubtedly bruise a piece of your soul. 

Written by Bee Shapiro, the article features no less than six photographs of adolescent and even prepubescent boys wearing and putting on women’s makeup, and even posing in uncomfortably suggestive ways — including this ten-year-old.

Naturally, the Times glosses over its exercise in NAMBLA-ism by pretending that it is all just reporting, the capturing of a zeitgeist as little boys release the little girls buried deep inside of all of us..."

Women Hit, Killed by Illegal Immigrant. Who Was Deported 8 Times…

Women Hit, Killed by Illegal Immigrant. Who Was Deported 8 Times…:

"Miguel Angel Villasenor-Saucedo, 40, was driving a truck when he hit and killed two women who were on the side of a highway in Louisville following a traffic accident. After striking the women, the Mexican national fled the scene on foot.
He has not been apprehended, but a federal grand jury indicted him this week for illegal re-entry after deportation. If convicted of illegal re-entry, the illegal alien faces a maximum penalty of two years in prison.

Sound familiar? "

What Counts As Sexual Harassment These Days? | Daily Wire

What Counts As Sexual Harassment These Days? | Daily Wire
"According to a new study from Ventura, California based research company The Barna Group, only 12% of men and 12% of women believe that “light-hearted flirting” is sexual harassment. 
...The study shows the vast differences between the sexes, with women being more prone to think that someone blocking their path during walking constitutes harassment. 
63% of women viewed “having your path blocked” as harassment where only 49% of men did. 
Additionally, pinching or poking, something that men can do in certain scenarios to each other 
(We’ve all seen dudes smack and slap each other, too) was viewed as harassment by 77% of women and 68% of men. 
Understandably, women being poked or pinched by a man is a direct invasion of personal space and if the victim is female, having a man do that to you is disturbing.
...Other things on the list that a smaller group of men and women viewed as sexual harassment were :

• Someone making a sexual joke (M 32%, W 46%)
• Snickering or laughing disrespectfully (M 22%, W 32%)
• Winking (M 12%, W 16%)

NFL inks deal with George Soros linked social justice groups - Washington Times

NFL inks deal with George Soros linked social justice groups - Washington Times:

"Meanwhile, details of the bargain emerging in the last few days have stunned conservatives.
“If this is how the NFL plans to bring back the millions of Americans who are fed up with the players’ antics and anthem protests, then the league just fumbled the ball,” said Robert Kuykendall, spokesman for 2ndVote, a conservative corporate watchdog group.
“Why would any conservative spend another dollar supporting the NFL if that dollar will be directly funneled to left-wing activists like Van Jones?” he asked."

Simplifying the Tax Code Has Big Payoffs | Economics21

Simplifying the Tax Code Has Big Payoffs | Economics21:
"With a Senate vote on the tax bill expected soon, a timely new study shows that tax compliance costs are substantial, and a simpler tax code would lower the amount of time and money that people have to spend on their taxes each year.
Americans spent more than 8.9 billion hours dealing with tax filing requirements in 2016, and the Tax Foundation estimates the associated costs are more than $400 billion.
The lesson: Congress should press ahead with simplification as part of reform.
A new National Bureau of Economic Research working paper provides some additional insight into the substantial costs of tax complexity.
In the paper Philippe Aghion and Stefanie Stantcheva of Harvard University, Ufuk Akcigit of the University of Chicago, and Matthieu Lequien of the Banque de France estimate that tax simplicity has a value of up to 650 euros per year per person for the group of French filers they examine.
They also find that the costs of tax complexity are regressive, in that the burden is disproportionately borne by those people with less education or lower income.
Their findings shed more light on the reasons why a simpler tax code should continue to be one of the goals of tax reform: simplifying the tax code would reduce these burdens and more resources could be put to productive use..."

Why Is An Appendectomy In The United States 10 Times More Expensive Than An Appendectomy In Mexico?

Why Is An Appendectomy In The United States 10 Times More Expensive Than An Appendectomy In Mexico?:
"This is what can happen when you go to a socialized healthcare system. 
A lot of people out there believe that the United States has a free market healthcare system, but that is actually not true. 
The percentage of the population that receives government-subsidized healthcare is rapidly approaching 50 percent, and the healthcare industry may be the most heavily regulated sector of the entire U.S. economy. 
...I would like to share with you an excerpt from an article by former DEA agent David Hathaway.  According to Hathaway, the average cost for an appendectomy in the United States is $33,000…:
My son had an attack of appendicitis late Saturday night. I knew that the Obamacare inflated prices for surgery in the U.S. would be ridiculous and that the service would likely be impersonal, involve long waits, and be nerve-wracking. I have friends in the medical field so I inquired just for grins. The price for the latest routine appendectomy in my area was, my jaw dropped, $43,000. I read on-line that the average cost for an appendectomy in the U.S. is $33,000...
...The surgery (in Mexico) was a success, and David’s son did stay in the hospital for two full days in order to receive the antibiotics that the doctor suggested.
But despite the extra time, the bill for the appendectomy was still less than 10 percent of what it would have been if the appendectomy had been performed in the United States…
The hospital stay was for 48 hours in a private room where my wife was allowed to spend the nights with my son sleeping on a couch in his room. 
This cost would have been significantly less if we hadn’t incurred emergency fees and if the appendectomy had not involved complications which required a longer stay and more medication. 
Despite all that, I though the total price of $2,830 dollars was very reasonable..."

Bloviating abroad, Obama reminds us why we elected Trump

Bloviating abroad, Obama reminds us why we elected Trump:

"Miss him yet? Former President Obama is back, taking big-dollar speaking engagements in places like Paris, and unintentionally reminding us why we elected Trump.

Based on his speech for a group of communications executives called 'Les Napoleons,' he thinks women make better leaders than men, men are 'having problems' with sex harassment, global warming's Paris Treaty is coming back, and 'global challenges' must be faced.
