“Private weather forecasting is a $7 billion industry (and growing), according to a 2017 National Weather Service study. It’s also increasingly testing the federal government’s hold on weather data and warnings.” washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…

“The Pega-built website was hacked from IP addresses in Russia during 2018 testing of census systems...One of the sources said an intruder bypassed a “firewall” and accessed parts of the system that should have been restricted to census developers.” reut.rs/2RkzKCI
“Three years later, the project faces serious reliability and security problems...And its projected cost has doubled to $167 million — about $40 million more than the bureau’s 2016 cost projection for building the site in-house.”
“One of the sources with direct knowledge of the hack involving Russian IP addresses described the internal Census Bureau reaction as a “panic.” The incidents prompted multiple meetings to address security concerns, said the two sources and a third census security source.”

IMO: I’m not sure I believe LaRose. This guy is anti-vote everything yet he’s steadfastly protecting voters from the Russians? apnews.com/6518b9a986f640…

“The largest visible donations, amounting to $3.3m, have been given to three British groups by foundations funded by the wealth of an ultra-conservative US billionaire financier, Sir John Templeton, who died in 2008.”
“Phil Bryant, the GOP governor of Mississippi and a Trump ally, has made Brexit a matter of his personal interest, forming a nonprofit organization with Farage called World4Brexit that aims to raise money to support Britain’s exit from the European Union.”

@EmmanuelMacron The image on the left shows a fire from 1989, and the image on the right has been online since at least 2012. A number of other outdated and unrelated photographs have also been circulated as if they depicted the 2019 #AmazonFires.

@EmmanuelMacron Plankton that are plants, known as #phytoplankton, grow and get their own energy through photosynthesis and are responsible for producing an estimated 80% of the world’s oxygen. They need #CO2 to thrive.

@EmmanuelMacron Many use fire to maintain farmland or to clear land.
Typically, activity peaks in early Sept & mostly stops by Nov.
#NASA satellite data indicates total fire activity across the #AmazonBasin this year has been close to the average of the past 15 years.

"National conservatives" set out to define the future of politics on the right dailysign.al/2Gy7J4G via @JarrettStepman @DailySignal
@JarrettStepman @DailySignal Critics of nationalism, noted Mary Eberstadt, a writer and fellow at the Hoover Institution, have offered no real alternative as a way to organize society.
Eberstadt asked in her remarks, “What, after all, is an alternative to nationalism?”
@JarrettStepman @DailySignal “Anti-nationalism? Antipathy to one’s fellow citizens because they are one’s fellow citizens? Pathological aversion to one’s own country? Narcissistic flight to group identities that treat everyone outside those identities as somehow un-American? The questions answer themselves”

@TheJusticeDept @CommerceGov @uscensusbureau

This is not rocket science, friends.

Asking the #citizenship #question is #necessary for the #federal #government to #fulfill its #role in #advising #Congress regarding #enforcement of the #constitutional #right to #vote.
So it is #perplexing to read #newsreports that @TheJusticeDept is searching for a #path to #inclusion of the #citizenship #question.

Why is this a #puzzle for you?
The @uscensusbureau must do the best it can to accurate #ascertain #both the #number of #persons and the #number of #citizens.

A THREAD.
In November 2014, Safaricom PLC –Kenya’s largest telecommunications firm – signed a contract with the Government of Kenya for the installation of a security surveillance system worth KES. 15 Billion.

For context, the Nairobi Metropolitan Ministry had procured the services of a Chinese firm called Nanjing Les Information Technologies for the installation of 51 cameras and a traffic light system back in 2012.

@WhiteHouse for the first time in #american history a spker of house has revoked an invitation to a duly elected #POTUS to speak before the nation. These traditions are what "Makes America Great" #Pelosi is very extreme and is denying our #SOTU speech. #WWG1WGA #MAGA #sadness
We don't have a 25th amendment to apply to @SpeakerPelosi but we do have to begin to ask is she "mentally competent" She has grabbed power and control of our budget, boarder security and #SOTUS speech. This is "fascistic" In nature and destroying our country.
Here is a list of #fascistic techniques of #putin and #pelosi

-Supporting Hamas
-Supporting Hezbollah
-Supporting Antifa
-Supporting Destroying the Constitution
-Supporting Open Boarders
-Taxing 70% of your wealth

These are tactics of #Fascist - destruction is the end goal

What is this #GEEP program really about?

GEEP is a microcredit prog that provides much-needed capital to traders, artisans, farmers, petty traders. It's one of the social intervention progs of the FG and comprises of 3 products: MarketMoni, FarmerMoni, and TraderMoni. @uzonwagba
"GEEP was initiated in 2016 by the FG; with an understanding that there are over 30m Nigerians at the base of the pyramid who are in active commercial activity but never have an opportunity to access credit. In 2017, only 0.04% of bank loans went to this micro segment" @uzonwagba
"These hardworking Nigerians are not “interesting” to the traditional lenders: they've little to no financial track record, they've no collateral, some barely have formal identities. However, they're actively trading and in dire need of capital." - @uzonwagba
