The real risk isn’t Chinese software, it’s a compromised software supply chain, in-vehicle architectures that can’t handle such software, and infrastructure that’s not secure. Simply banning one perceived source of risk is not going to do much to eliminate the overall risk.

New U.S. rules are set to ban Chinese software in vehicles on national-security grounds.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.

When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.

The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.

How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

The Epstein files are damaging some disgusting individuals and that’s good but how many people knew and have helped cover this up? By now every revelation should be showing you all that the establishment we allow to rule us is rotten to the core.

The same people that have covered up these vile acts have been telling us that drag queens and transgender people are a problem. NO the problem is those that govern us.
