TRUMP USED THE SECOND MOST-VULGAR WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE - MOTHERFUCKER

Trump did what many Americans do daily

By Howie Katz

While addressing the California GOP fall convention on Friday, former President Donald Trump was talking about being indicted when he said: 

"What they've done is they've gone after opponents, so that if you become president, or some other job, but if you become president, and you don't like somebody or somebody is beating you by 10, 15, or 20 points, like we're doing with crooked Joe Biden - let's indict the motherfucker."

His remark was met with laughter and applause.

As expected, Democrats were quick to condemn Trump, saying that use of the word was unbecoming and beneath a person seeking the presidency.

Having used the word myself on a number of occasions, I find no fault in Trump's use of it.

And I also found no fault in President Harry Truman when he publicly called columnist Drew Pearson a son of a bitch for having discredited daughter Margaret's piano performance.

RUSSIAN HACKERS CYBERATTACKED MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL

MGM was hit by the largest ever resort cyberattack

 

 

Last week's cyberattack devastated MGM Resorts International which includes the Las Vegas Aria, the Bellagio, Luxor, MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay casinos and the MGM Springfield in Massachusetts, MGM National Harbor outside of Washington, D.C., and the Empire City Casino in New York, all of which were affected by the attack. The cyberattack even disabled the electronic key cards to the guest rooms.

This makes it the largest ever resort cyberattack. 

The Russian ransomware group ALPHV, also known as BlackCat, first claimed it attacked MGM. However, that was followed by UNC3944, also known as Scattered Spider, which claimed it was responsible.

While MGM has thus far refused to pay the ransom, the Wall Street Journal reported that some weeks earlier, Caesars Entertainment paid a $30 million ransom to Scattered Spider.

Since the ransomware groups are based in Russia, the hackers cannot be brought to justice.

TODAY IS 9/11 REMEMBRANCE DAY

There are certain events that should always be remembered and never forgotten. The September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers  and the Pentagon is one of those events

The 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon took the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans. Every president since then has participated in 9/11 commemorative ceremonies. Every president, that is except Joe Biden.

Biden is off in Vietnam talking about a John Wayne movie with Indians when babbling about climate change. Biden had been in India attending a G20 summit. Instead of returning home at the end of that meeting to commemorate 9/11, Biden flew off to Vietnam on September 10.

There are four events in my lifetime that I will always remember.

1. Coming to America

In 1936, my parents and I came to America as refugees from Nazi Germany.  I was only nine-plus-years-old, but I will never forget the awesome sight of those skyscrapers as our ship approached New York Harbor.

2. Pearl Harbor

On December 7, 1941, I was in a Marshall, Texas movie theater. Suddenly the movie stopped and the lights came on. The theater manager got up in front of the now blank screen to announce the 'Japs' had bombed Pearl Harbor and sunk some of our battleships. 

3. The assassination of JFK

On November 22, 1963, I was in a meeting of parole agents in Santa Ana, California.  The meeting was interrupted and we were informed that President Kennedy had been shot and believed to be dead. We were then told to go home. 

4. September 11, 2001

On that date, I was a volunteer at the Houston Zoo cleaning out the Orangutan cages. The phone rang and I picked it up. Some guy said that a plane had accidentally hit one of the Twin Towers. After a short pause he said, "Hey, that was no accident, another plane has just hit the other tower."

Unfortunately, as the years go by, those events are forgotten.  That's why it is so important that our presidents commemorate 9/11. The attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon should always be remembered.

And we should also remember that except for the heroics of some brave passengers, another plane would have hit Congress or the White House.
