“President Trump is acting in accordance with his competence.”

I’d like to go all “I can’t even”, but you know what? I can’t. This is the new normal. And the new normal is completely batshit.
This Administration is ripping apart at the seams due to a combination of understaffing, lack of messaging, and a complete lack of control at the very top.
The POTUS is not mentally competent.
It’s the only reasonable response to the facts on the ground.

OpSec News: Pitch your D-Link routers for something else….
Engadget: D-Link would like you to forget about its lax security
The company has enlisted an anti-regulation group to help it fight complaints from the FTC.
Back in January, the US Federal Trade Commission accused D-Link of putting customers in harm’s way with its extremely negligent approach to security. According to the FTC, the company left hundreds of thousands of customers vulnerable to attack by failing to secure their routers and cameras against critical vulnerabilities. At the time, the company denied the allegations, claiming no one had been affected by an actual breach, but that didn’t change the fact that D-Link left crucial security information out in the open for months. Now the company is trying to have the case thrown out of court on the grounds that the US government has no jurisdiction over the company.
…
The Cause of Action Institute, which is defending D-Link in court, also claimed the FTC’s allegations are “vague and unsubstantiated” even though the company sold IP cameras with hard-coded login credentials that anyone could use to view streams and couldn’t be changed by the user. In fact, D-Link’s security flaws are something of a running joke among hackers and security researchers. While the parent company is dodging a bullet here, the US-based subsidiary will still have to contest the complaint in court.
I use a Netgear C7000-100NAS and have it locked down tight as a drum. And Netgear publishes a monthly security newsletter to boot.

Wanna know why healthcare and auto insurance rates are skyhigh in Michigan? It’s unique no-fault insurance, ambulance chasing and greedy doctors all in collusion…..
Detroit Free Press: Tired of no-fault fraud in Michigan, insurers turn to racketeering suits
Fed up with no-fault fraud, auto insurance giants Allstate and State Farm have, in recent years, brought racketeering lawsuits against a handful of metro Detroit medical clinics, MRI centers and doctors.
These lawsuits — in federal court against a half-dozen or so businesses — have alleged sham treatments, excessive billing, accident-victim solicitation and even under-the-table cash payments made to encourage patients to keep coming in.
Some clinics closed under the weight of these lawsuits, even as they professed innocence. Other cases ended in confidential settlements or are still pending.
State Farm filed a 2014 racketeering lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Detroit against Detroit-based Warren Chiropractic & Rehab Clinic, accusing the clinic and its ownership and staff of ordering unnecessary tests and treatments to maximize their insurance reimbursements and inflate the value of legal claims for accident lawyers.
State Farm’s lawyers called the clinic’s dealings “a textbook example on the evils of ambulance chasing.”
The insurance company accused Warren Chiropractic of giving disability certificates to nearly every patient, regardless of actual injuries, making patients eligible for an array of no-fault benefits: attendant care, lost-wages replacement, $20 a day for household chores and transportation to and from the clinic.
About 40% of the patients given disability certificates received rides to the clinic from a company that was owned by the clinic owner’s brother, the lawsuit claimed. The transportation firm then billed high rates, including $178 for a round trip of about 30 miles, the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit also accused the clinic of steering patients to MRI centers that charged as much as $7,000 per spinal-region image. And it alleged that Warren Chiropractic used independent contractors, known as “runners” or “chasers,” to find and solicit people who had been in accidents so they would get treated at the clinic and sign up with law firms.

Here’s the thing: Even if Comey told Trump that he’s not under investigation, which is itself an egregious violation of the investigative process, it doesn’t mean the man is in the clear. Several of his close associates are under investigation, the campaign that put him in office is under investigation, and people he’s been in contact with are being investigated. That he is not under investigation right now does not mean he will never be investigated.
After all, the Watergate investigation didn’t start on Day One at the Oval Office, it started with some burglars whose payments led up the food chain to 1600 Penn Ave.

Correct. It’s a bit like Clapper on Monday making sure during his prepared statement to point out that his knowledge of ongoing investigations ended on Jan 20th. He can say “to my knowledge” all he likes, but it doesn’t mean a damned thing.

I hadn’t thought of that.
Human nature being what it is, I do not believe for a minute that French people are inherently smarter or more moral than Americans.
This is why I favor a more self-regulated society (through laws passed by representative assemblies and enforced by an independent judiciary) as opposed to your system. Arguably, you have demonstrated that you (as a people) cannot handle the liberties granted to you by your First and Second Amendments.
The notion that truth would drive out lies and good speech would drive out bad speech has been demonstrated as false, just as much as unfettered access to guns of any kind has not increased your safety. The result is a rogue fascist state where freedom instead of flourishing is actively being curtailed and fear of violence is on the rise (based on hat i read here & there).
A historian whose name I can’t recall stated that centuries begin 15 years after the chronological mark: 1715, death of Louis XIV; 1815: Waterloo; 1915: end of WWI. 2015, the rise of Donald J. Trump may well mark the real beginning of the 21st century and of a new America that will be radically different from what we’ve known all our lives. If you don’t want that America to be truly awful, you’re going to have to reform all your political systems in depth. (We face this challenge as well.)

This may be as a good a time as any to offer Richard Goldstein’s confession. It isn’t anything he has tried to hide, and, in fact, he mentioned it briefly in his 2015 memoir, “Another Little Piece of My Heart.” But the revelation may be startling to Beatles fans, who have devoted their lives to interpreting every lyric, recording flourish and photograph presented by their band.The stereo Goldstein used for his review was broken.
Repeat. The guy who slammed “Sgt. Pepper” in the New York Times had a busted speaker.
Retired Master Sgt. Wilburn K. Ross, an Army machine-gunner who received the Medal of Honor for single-handedly fighting back eight German counterattacks during a World War II battle in France, died May 9 in Washington state. He was 94.His death was announced by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. The cause was not disclosed.
Sgt. Ross — then a private — served in the Army’s storied 3rd Infantry Division during World War II and saw combat in Morocco and Italy, where he was wounded by shrapnel in 1943. A year later, his unit had pushed on to eastern France, where it encountered elite German alpine troops in the Vosges Mountains.
On Oct. 30, 1944, Sgt. Ross’s company took heavy casualties from German forces, losing 55 of its 88 men. About 11:30 a.m., Sgt. Ross moved to a forward position, 10 yards beyond his company’s riflemen, and set up his light machine gun.
He was an open target for German marksmen and artillery fire, yet he held steady for five hours, carrying on what was virtually a one-man battle.

This is insane. Truly.
re: #32 Lupin
I’ve been thinking about the nature of freedom recently and those thoughts caused your phrase, “more self-regulated society” jumped to my attention.
A lot of people think that freedom is the ability to do things, the removal of limits. I’ve come the conclusion that freedom is actually about limits.
A person can always say what they want, associate with who they want, travel where they wish. In a non-free society those with power can and will make a person suffer for doing so. In a free society those with power are severely limited in what they can do to people who exercise their abilities.
And these limits are why so many people with power detest freedom. They do not like their power limited.
This can be demonstrated by the various ‘religious freedom’ laws popping up all over. They remove the limits on the power of a particular religion. Voter suppression lessens the limits of power on a particular group of voters. Repeal of laws limiting what banks can do and how they do it removes limits on the power of the banking industry. The ammosexuals oppose gun control because such regulations reduce their power.
A free society is one in which power is sharply limited and widely spread. A non-free society is one where power is unlimited and belongs to only a few members.

Ransomware is the real deal, since many malware/virus protection services can’t detect infections, or if they can, they can’t repair the damage to infected machines.
For instance, this is the bugger that infected my computer. Malwarebytes (which I use), now has a protection for it, but they can’t do anything to repair infected files.
re: #199 Timothy Watson
Depending on the system/methodology/sophistication, all it takes is a terminal that relies on shared computer/data resources (common shared drives), and it’s able to infect other systems, users in the process.

The solution in that case is pretty easy, re-image the drives and find some new anti-virus software.
Ransomware generally targets specific file types. Document files, pdfs, spreadsheets, images etc. I haven’t seen one yet that hit an active database, that would be hard as those files are generally locked. Ransomware will scan the network so it can encrypt data on any shared network drives that the end user has access to as well.
Ransomware has been around for years. The best protection against it is to have good backup software that does periodic snapshots of your server(data should never be stored on an end user machine). If you are snapshotting every hour you never have much data at risk. The big problem is that some of the more sophisticated ransomware now tries to ex-filtrate data before encrypting it.
Unfortunately getting new anti-virus software is not a solution, none of them are bullet proof and it is basically a game of whack a mole.

The final line of defense here is to make everything so complex and convoluted that most people are not sure who did what to whom and why it is/was illegal in the first place.
Then it can be spun as a partisan witch hunt and political retribution. (and excuse for losing election by “millions of votes”)

Axios says that Congressional Republicans are starting to get a little nervous…
Here are the concerns we’ve heard from senior congressional sources.
Trump going after FBI director he just fired. Trump is supposed to be enacting an agenda, but is setting up a huge fight with someone who has nothing to lose.
White House is careening between crisis after crisis. “We need our asset out there every day barnstorming for tax reform, health care,” the senate aide said.
Who can tell him no? Where is Reince, where are the adults?
Whose idea was it to blame Rod Rosenstein?
What an awful position this created for Richard Burr, the Senate Intel chair who has been working with Comey on this investigation.
What about the forgotten people? if they burn all this time on fights in DC, how can they deliver results to people in Trumpland?
Russia thing is self-inflicted. Root of it was Trump’s Obama tweet. Very little sympathy for Trump from exasperated people.
Take note, those who are still thinking Congressional Rs are a monolith of Trump support.
Regarding Trump’s lawyers explaining in detail why no one needs to see his IRS Forms I have a simple question.
If there is nothing to see in them, then why the hell can he not show them?
Me thinks they protest too much.
Trump is always in cover mode, so he is covering something and having his lawyers talk about it in such detail just makes him all the more suspicious.

Latest series of “Fargo” involves a US company that cannot get credit elsewhere, so it takes a loan from a Russian-based company, which, oddly enough, does not want the money back: the bank just wants a share of the firm in order to use it as a money-laundering front, and makes it clear that this is an offer that the company cannot refuse…

Wow - you do learn something new every day: and not just that there is a Norwegian online journal devoted to circum-Arctic news!
Sounds like the comrades are finally figuring out that major infrastructure projects (especially in the Siberian Arctic) are a PITA to get in place. Although:
According to Transport Minister Maksim Sokolov, an additional 24 billion rubles are needed for the completion of the Murmansk railway line and that the project timeline might not be met unless a private-public partnership model is successfully applied.
Which I read as meaning: Vlad is going to put the arm on the oligarchs for some more scratch: probably with a “handling fee” attached… Maybe they’ll raise the money by calling in Donald Trump’s loans? (Which don’t exist, of course…)

Meanwhile during all the shit storms this just slid completely under the radar.
Trump’s business network reached alleged Russian mobsters
To expand his real estate developments over the years, Donald Trump, his company and partners repeatedly turned to wealthy Russians and oligarchs from former Soviet republics — several allegedly connected to organized crime, according to a USA TODAY review of court cases, government and legal documents and an interview with a former federal prosecutor.
The president and his companies have been linked to at least 10 wealthy former Soviet businessmen with alleged ties to criminal organizations or money laundering.
Among them:
• A member of the firm that developed the Trump SoHo Hotel in New York is a twice-convicted felon who spent a year in prison for stabbing a man and later scouted for Trump investments in Russia.
• An investor in the SoHo project was accused by Belgian authorities in 2011 in a $55 million money-laundering scheme.
• Three owners of Trump condos in Florida and Manhattan were accused in federal indictments of belonging to a Russian-American organized crime group and working for a major international crime boss based in Russia.
• A former mayor from Kazakhstan was accused in a federal lawsuit filed in Los Angeles in 2014 of hiding millions of dollars looted from his city, some of which was spent on three Trump SoHo units.
• A Ukrainian owner of two Trump condos in Florida was indicted in a money-laundering scheme involving a former prime minister of Ukraine.
