I see no conflict btwn Pompeo's & Trump's comments about the foreign hacking. We won't know details until whatever actions the US is taking are completed. Logically, it could be all 3 of China, Russia, & Iran behind it. China planted >500,000 spies in the US. That's even worse.
Read the transcript of the Pompeo interview here. It's been available online for 17 hours, but media focused on one sentence of it, taken out of context (of course.)
The Pompeo interview includes damning commentary of the US media, Democrats, their allies the Chinese Communist Party, and their appeasement (he uses that term) of Iran and other malign actors.
He even refers to CCP spies on American college campuses.
In the interview Pompeo refers to a potential Biden admin as "should that come to pass" lol:
I don't think our opponents want you to know about the many damning indictments made against them by Sec Pompeo and Mark Levin in this interview.
Trump's tweet about the hack? Look, media were hardly covering the hack at all, and they should have been. A lot more info to come.
We know that between what Trump and Pompeo said about the hack, only a small amount of information has been publicly released about it. Media were thrown a tiny bone to keep them chomping for the weekend, while the banquet is still being prepared.
So what if this one hack was driven out of Russia not China? Democrats and their media allowed over half a million CCP spies to live in the US (and they're still in the US today). China is hacking the entire country, not just computer systems. China lied, people died.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

(1) Most of those tweeting #WeAreLGBTQIA mean well, at heart. Some of the neverending alphabet soup of this terminology is unhelpful to the "cause," whatever that is on the day.
Here's my two cents worth:
(2) L and G are understandable and were the originals. L was put in front of G because early on, gay men were getting more airtime than lesbian women were. B was then added, but there are very few times in life when one's status as a B requires laws to be changed. Unlike L & G.
(3) Most LGB were not happy about T being added. LGB is about sexual orientation. T is about which gender you identify with. Ts as a group are tiny compared to LGB, and there's a case for not upending ALL laws & policies for such a tiny group.
>Yeah OK we're not supposed to praise him for it bc he's a Scientologist and they use our praise to get and keep innocents inside their death cult. Check.
>I wasn't gonna praise him for it, but I have some observations to make...
(2) BTW I've been calling out Scientology for as long as I've been an adult, which is nearly 30yrs. LOL. And I predicted before they married that Katie Holmes would eventually leave Tom Cruise.
His covid rant sounds exactly like it would if it was part of a movie script of his.
(3) So, I'm not totally convinced it was unscripted and impromptu. Especially since he just says "you, and you" etc. That's like he didn't want their names getting out.
His anger is misplaced, of course. And if he had real power, he wouldn't have needed to yell.
(2) I'm glad they arrested 89 year old Peter Nygard on these sex trafficking charges because when they are finally exposed after they've died, it's harder to work toward justice for the survivors and their loved ones. Jimmy Savile (UK) is an example.
(3) Almost 2 years ago I first heard about the appalling #NXIVM case and wrote about it here. The thread has practical suggestions on what we as bystanders can do to try to help the survivors and everyone else impacted by such heinous crimes:
Are you old enough to remember the year 1984? I am.
This is the China I knew of at that time. The one that British pop due Wham! visited to film the Freedom music video. Ironic on multiple levels.
Gonna be an amazing 5 weeks for us all. Buckle up.
"On the edge of oblivion
All the word is Babylon
And all the love and everyone
A ship of fools sailing on"

It's an earworm, I'm sorry.😛
China makes me think of a bunch of 80s songs.
Philip Bailey - Walking On The Chinese Wall (1984)
Great music video, that I took for granted at the time. Makes me think about how good it's going to be for the Chinese people and everyone else in the world when the regime crumbles. Freedom.🙏
(1) Thread: A place to store links to confirmed info about what is currently called the Texas lawsuit, and/or any related direct-to-SCOTUS cases we need to know about.
It's a waste of time telling me about a court decision or a case filed or talked abt, w/out a proper source.
(2) There's too much unconfirmed info floating about (whether deliberate or accidental) and I think we're all sick and tired of that.
So, as a side effect of trying to meet my own info needs, I'm sharing the info I find, for you.
(3) Please don't assume your readers understand jargon terms and concepts about the finer details of court procedures. Instead of "it's on the docket" tell me what body decided this, when (incl time of day if necessary) & tell me where I can confirm it (ie read a document.)
I routinely write about celebrity deaths from a perspective of raising medical awareness & saving lives.
(2) Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers and like others is often treatable if caught early enough.
If you have a known family history of it you should ask your doctor about screening options.
Risk generally increases with age, so those over 60* should do the same.
(3) I say 60 years of age without knowing what the current recommendation is in the US (where most of my readers live. Colon cancer can strike younger people, too.
Most of us never get screening out of fear of discomfort or embarrassment.
