I am opposing Section 219, which would integrate our military with Israel’s. The United States does not have this arrangement with any other country in the world. We need to stand up for American sovereignty and strip this provision from the final NDAA.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

a defaced ad for the failed friend pendent which reads
friend

someone who
listens, responds,

There is graffiti which reads "WE DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS FUTURE" and the pendent itself, which is a smooth pearloid sphere has been defaced with an angry emoji style face.

Monstrous. Gene Wilder was a human being and an actor (not a comedian as Mashable seems to think). This sort of shit isn't him "living on", because actors are constantly making choices. It's an insult to the man's craft to think all that matters is a crude recreation of his voice.

Anyone who has been doing work with the federal government over the past three years shouldn't be surprised by this. The fact that the attackers exfiltrated data from GovCloud is especially damning as it takes a special brand of incompetence on behalf of the FBI. www.404media.co/we-hacked-th...
