What is most notable about the printer is that it can be...

    Not all conservatives come at the run when thumb-sucking Zuckerberg decided to toot his whistle Facebook’s sham ‘self investigation‘ into the social media giant’s alleged suppression of conservative news scheduled for tomorrow at Silicon Valley, had already come to a conclusion about who the culprits were ahead of the big get together. “Several people close to the company, who also declined to speak on record, argued that if bias was being inserted into the trending section, it came from Facebook’s part-time news curators acting on their own.” (The Guardian, May 16, 2016)

    God willing, Canada Free Press and other suppressed conservative sites will always be here, Marxist games of Facebook and Google notwithstanding The truth isn’t trending on the Internet anymore but the trolls are still riding shotgun. The ‘truth’ has become whatever Facebook and Google trend it to be. Pretending to ‘like’ and ‘Friend’ you (Facebook) and to ‘do no evil ‘ (Google), the deadly duo hijacked the Information Highway leaving all truth seekers stranded along the way. The executives of both companies were among the first to meet with Barack Obama after his 2008 election and have been helping him...

    While social media sites are new in some respects, in the important area of objectivity, they tend to project the same liberal bias as the old media Everyone knows that liberals control the old media outlets that are rapidly becoming irrelevant. The national print publications and broadcast television networks have historically tilted to the left. In fact, this week, it was no surprise to learn that the Washington Post will assign 20 reporters to investigate every aspect of Donald Trump’s background, hoping to find salacious dirt on the GOP front runner. In contrast, they have shown limited interest in assigning...

    Rush has got Fakebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, the agent provocateur of the social media on the run Last time it was a hot open mic that caught Obama obsequious Mark Zuckerberg taking on the role of social media saboteur at the request of cunning German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “German Chancellor Angela Merkel was overheard confronting Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over incendiary posts on the social network, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, amid complaints from her government about anti-immigrant posts in the midst of Europe’s refugee crisis.

    Rules are for the little people, why are Justice Department prosecutors trying to shut down FBI investigators The news here is not that Hillary crony Cheryl Mills walked out of her FBI interview and cited a legal technicality to try to avoid answering questions. Of course she did that. It’s what Hillary cronies do. The news, rather - and it’s not good news - is that there is apparently tension between FBI investigators and Justice Department prosecutors on just how doggedly to pursue the evidence in the case:

    Oh, and he just might release the full report if Obama tries to protect her. Maybe the Republicans should have nominated James Comey. The FBI director (who was a Bush appointee, after all) doesn’t mess around, and he’s not letting Hillary get away with turning the investigation into her e-mail shenanigans into something it isn’t.

    Will a Justice Department -- whose employees think she's a rock star -- take Hillary's possible prosecution seriously? Employees of the U.S. Department of Justice have given so much money to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign this time around that critics justifiably doubt the agency can handle her private email server case fairly and impartially. In what appears to be a super-sized potential conflict of interest, Clinton, a pathological, self-serving liar who doesn’t mind if Americans die to further her political ambitions, has accepted almost $75,000 in campaign contributions in the current election cycle from employees at the Justice Department, the...

    No kidding. New MIT and Harvard research finds cheating is easy-peasy for students enrolled in edX online classes. In news that probably won’t surprise many people, researchers have found that it’s pretty easy to cheat in online classes and some online students are taking advantage of that fact. Researchers at MIT and Harvard this week published a paper finding that students taking online edX coursework were able to game the system by logging on as one person to check out online tests, scout out the right answers, and then log in again as themselves to take the test.

    Bryan Pagliano's missing emails: Set up Clinton’s private server and email apparatus who was granted immunity to testify You won’t read this story on Facebook, or on any other social media already in the tank for the election of Hillary Clinton. But because it has the potential to transcend the fairytale that Hillary will be indicted and wear an orange pantsuit during a prison term for the continuing email scandal, it’s a story that should be sent viral by patriots by whatever means available to them other than Facebook or Google. The emails that the State Department yesterday told the...

    Ghost Squad, a hacking group spawned from the Anonymous hacktivist collective, claims it took down the official websites of the Black Lives Matter movement on 29 and 30 April in a protest against actions taken by some of the campaign's supporters. According to Waqas Amir, a cybersecurity journalist based in Dubai and founder of HackRead, Ghost Squad conducted a series of persistent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against the official websites of the Black Lives Matter movement, beginning on Friday 29 April. The DDoS attacks caused the web host for blacklifematters.org to completely suspend the domain, while the blacklivesmatter.com...

    Researchers from the Cybernetics Department of the Military University of Technology in Warsaw and the Optoelectronics Department of the Silesian University of Technology have been using 3D printed heart models for research purposes. 3D printing, like any burgeoning area of technology, has both its champions and its skeptics. But whatever one’s position on the industry as a whole, there is one area in which its usefulness is rarely doubted: medicine. Over the last few years, additive manufacturing has been used by medical professionals and researchers to create a variety of models, surgical guides, and bioprinted body parts, contributing to the...
