Matt Drudge wondered aloud Thursday evening whether his popular site was the object of a U.S. government cyberattack.
Via the Twitter account for his Drudge Report, he said his news-aggregation site is the victim of the “biggest DDoS since site’s inception,” referring to a Distributed Denial of Service attack.
“Is the US government attacking DRUDGE REPORT?” he asked, adding that there was “VERY suspicious routing [and timing].”
In a later tweet, Mr. Drudge said the “Attacking [was] coming from ‘thousands’ of sources. Of course none of them traceable to Fort Meade,” referring to the Maryland base that houses the headquarters of United States Cyber Command and the National Security Agency.
Mr. Drudge’s news-aggregation site was one of the highest-profile outlets to take a favorable tack on Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Personally, I hope that’s all they are reaching for.
The link on Drudge is how I found FR. And I lurked for at least a year before I dared sign up. Lol

Drudge probably has more proof of U.S. hacking than does 0bama of Russian hacking.
CDC is sooo clean, I suppose you have never heard of Dr. William Thompson? or the movie Vaxxed??
Here’s a little info for you, “The scientist, Dr. William Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his colleagues at the CDC.”
Here’s a link to the movie info, http://vaxxedthemovie.com/
Think what you want. I know firsthand what I experienced.
“Stalinists are like that”
I thought you’d written, “SATANISTS are like that.” :)
In this case, either works.
Curious, how is the food at the General Muir Deli?
Seems that the CDC employee’s aren’t all thrilled that Trump got elected.

“At the General Muir deli across the street from the CDC, a few employees talked to WABE, asking that their names not be used. One microbiologist said her colleagues were crying in the hallways.
“It’s really sad,” she said. “It’s depressing. I’m eating a bagel to try and be happy.”
She said she’s worried Trump might appoint public health leaders who may not be in total support of mandatory vaccinations, pointing to Dr. Ben Carson or Florida Governor Rick Scott.”
By the way, how do you feel about mandatory vaccinations?
“The days when FR was an idea generation factory are well behind us.”
I’ve been thinking the same thing. It’s nothing like it was 15, or even 10, years ago.
I was the first to post a picture of D-Day with GI’s wading off of a LCVP with the caption “College age boys leaving their safe space”. That took off like a bat out of hell. Became a meme.
Agree completely.
After all, Obama doesn’t actually pull the trigger. Somewhere down the food chain are the underlings who did.
Start with them, and work your way up.
Let me guess..
You’re one of those deranged lunatic anti-vaccine people.
Couldn't tell you. Perhaps that's the Roybal campus area.
Seems that the CDC employee’s aren’t all thrilled that Trump got elected.
Some weren't. Some were. I was actually surprised to find how many conservative brethren I found in the CDC. It makes sense, though, based in Atlanta GA as they are.

WOW! You found a media source that skews the report to make Trump appear unpopular! Congratulations!

Not my issue. Haven't read up on it; it does not interest me.
An issue that DOES interest me is gun rights.
In 2011, Obama insisted that the CDC do a study that ran directly counter to the law. Congress forbade the CDC from doing studies about guns, not wanting them to insert a government-funded-entity's opinion into the debate. Of course, Obama ignored the law and demanded the study.
What emerged was something the left did not expect: AN HONEST STUDY. None of it was useful to the antigunners. It showed that there was a slightly-more-correct basis to the pro-gun argument that owning guns causes a decrease in violence. It also showed that a large portion of 'gun casualties' used by antigun groups were suicides, and presumably only the method would change if bans were enacted.
I was so proud of my employer. Under immense pressure, they refused to budge. You'll remember that, shortly after that, all of a sudden Tom Frieden (the Director) was embroiled in a bunch of scandals. Not enough to knock him out, but the timing was .... interesting.
I met Tom during that period of time, and asked to speak freely. He encouraged me to. I told him that I was so relieved and gratified to see that the CDC, and he, did not knuckle under because of political pressures. He smiled, and said, "I'm a man of science, not a man of politics."
After that, when people on Free Republic called for his dismissal due to the scandals, I reminded them that the next Director might not be nearly as nonpartisan.
I'd actually like to see Friedan stay on in a Trump administration.
Oh, and I get it: You don’t like the CDC.
1st. thing Trump better is check for bug (in WH, Oval office and etc.) and not 4 legged kind either.
Well done sir! :)
Sorry. I'll try harder.
Not referring to you, of course! Just “in general”. Seems like a lot more petty, snotty, personal attacks than before. Or maybe I’ve blocked out the bad stuff from earlier.
I understand it’s been a rough eight years and people are on their last nerve. Maybe things will improve when the world settles down. Hope so! :)
That’s because of certain topical and speech limitations meaning nothing inflammatory can be said here.
Check out post 93 Laz admits he works with/for the CDC. How many times has he “sparred” with you in support of vaccines and defended the CDC?
His comment on post 67, “Never had that happen. Say what you will about most Federal agencies (and I am likely to agree with you) but the CDC is one of the cleanest, least-sullied agencies out there.”
I know a lot of families who have been to vaccine court don’t believe the CDC is “clean” when it comes to their promotion of vaccines. I pray Trump will drain the swamp at the CDC because they are harming children with their increased vaccination schedule, not to mention the ingredients that are poisoning children.
I am curious what the Russians use for a vaccination program/schedule??
