I have no doubt whatsoever that the Chinese have copious dirt on the various Biden clan members as well as numerous dirty politicians as leverage. Nothing positive is going to change in our relationship with the filthy commie trash until we get Trump (or another like like him) back in office and the senatorial support to keep him from being a lame duck.

Is anyone else really, REALLY getting the shits of hearing the word "surge?" It's getting so, that every time I hear someone say it I imagine taking a baseball bat & launching their freaking head for a home run.

Biden Administration Urges Court Not to Allow Release of ‘Secret Report’ on Dominion Voting Machines

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...mRor26V7DR%2FX7fG5SV

Top officials at a U.S. federal cybersecurity agency are urging a judge not to authorize at this time the release of a report that analyzes Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, arguing doing so could assist hackers trying to “undermine election security.”

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was recently provided an unredacted copy of the report, which was prepared by J. Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.

The report discusses “potential vulnerabilities in Dominion ImageCast X ballot marking devices,” or electronic voting devices, according to the government.

While CISA supports public disclosure of any vulnerabilities and associated mitigation measures with election equipment, allowing the release of the report at this point “increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security,” government lawyers said in a Feb. 10 filing in the case.

The case was brought in 2017 by good-government groups and voters who say the lack of paper ballots undermines the voting process.

U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama nominee overseeing the case, was urged by CISA to reject attempts to release a redacted version of Halderman’s report for now.

CISA officials want to review the information in the report and help Dominion resolve the vulnerabilities identified before the report is released. They said they weren’t able to provide a date by which they’ll be finished.

Totenberg must weigh the request against the wishes of Georgia Secretary State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican and one of the defendants, who called in late January for the release to happen immediately.

John Poulos, Dominion’s CEO and president, said in a statement released by Raffensperger’s office that Halderman’s review lacked “a holistic approach,” adding that Dominion “supports all efforts to bring real facts and evidence forward to defend the integrity of our machines and the credibility of Georgia’s elections.”

Plaintiffs, including the Coalition for Good Governance, also support the release of the report, David Cross, one of their lawyers, confirmed to The Epoch Times.

The plaintiffs said in a filing before a copy was sent to CISA that the agency should get a copy and begin its evaluation process, but that the evaluation “should not unreasonably delay the public disclosure of the report, which must be promptly disclosed to Georgia state and county election officials, and filed on the public docket, so that public officials can secure the upcoming May primary elections.”

They asked Totenberg to order them to file a redacted version of the report on the docket, which would make it accessible to the public, no later than March 4.

“increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security,” government lawyers said in a Feb. 10 filing in the case.”

I think they meant to say “this will expose exactly how we stole the election”. It would become just another situation where the “tin foil hat wearing right wing extremists” were right again.

Just by the by...

I thought that judge's name sounded familiar. Her sister is Nina Totenberg, one of the major NPR political reporters.

Not relevant to the story, but everyone should file that away under information about "the Swamp".

Most of whom have reliably voted for Democrats for decades, and whom the Dems can therefore safely disregard, or whom have reliably voted for Republicans for decades, and whom the Dems can therefore safely disregard.

Did anyone think white coal miners and Hispanics in border states were the only groups of historically Dem voters that the Dems figured were automatically going to vote the Dem ticket? The rate of inflation alone should tell you that the Dems don't give a damn about what people on fixed incomes think beyond throwing them the occasional bone through the Social Security system.

That's complete and utter bullshit.

Every computer and network security professional who's worth their salt will tell you "security by obscurity is no security at all."

What the hell makes these "top officials at a U.S. cyber-security agency" think the people who found the flaws in Dominion's voting equipment were somehow unique? IOW: If one person or group found vulnerabilities, there is no reason to expect any number of other interested actors cannot do the same.

IMO: Either these "top officials" are thoroughly incompetent, they're trying to hide something they don't want the public to know, or both.

President Biden says NFL 'hasn't lived up to' commitment to hire more Black coaches

President Joe Biden has become the latest critic of the NFL’s hiring practices.

In an interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt, Biden said the NFL has not lived up to the standard it committed to in terms of hiring more minorities as head coaches. In his comments, Biden echoed sentiments expressed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell last week, who said the league “won’t tolerate discrimination.”

“The commissioner pointed out, they haven't lived up to what they committed to. They haven’t lived up to being open about hiring more minorities to run teams,” Biden said. “Goodell says they're gonna take a look at whether they can meet the standard. And the standard was set by someone who said this is something we should do.”

In a league where about 71 percent of its players are non-white, nearly all of the NFL’s head coaches are white. The lack of minority head coaches has long been a source of criticism for the NFL, and the criticism again came to the forefront when former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the league earlier this month alleging racial discrimination in its hiring practices.

Biden said having a more diverse collection of head coaches is a matter of “generic decency.”

“Think about it. The whole idea that a league that is made up of so many athletes of color, as well as so diverse, that there's not enough African American qualified coaches to quote, ‘to manage,’ these NFL teams, it just seems to me that it's a standard that they'd want to live up to,” Biden said. “It’s not a requirement of law, but it's a requirement I think of some generic decency. ”

Biden being a bully and pandering again? Shocker

Well, yeah, but..what else can he actually do except bully and pander these days? And, with a little luck, he may not be able to do even that much in about a year's time.

Until some trusted group reviews every line of the Dominion code, I will never believe its trustworthy. And my bet is, Halderson didn't, and CISA wouldn't, perform that review, but if someone credible did, the results would be shocking.

Who's he bullying? A group of billionaires who don't give a damn about Biden or anything that falls out of his geriatric mouth. These NFL owners have big time FU money and will continue to do as they please while giving lip service whenever they find it convenient to do so.

States, especially the "swing states" need to outlaw those Dominion voting machines. Throw them out. Along with mail in voting.

Or else, the leftists will control ALL elections going forward. Regards 18DAI

It's good that we have not forgotten about the dominion cheating machines.

Seems the NFL is very underrepresented with Hispanics and Asians. They need more diversity among the players. The NBA too.

And no women in the NFL either. Except cheerleaders.
