Strong jobs report, low inflation, and other countries around the world doing anything possible to take advantage of the United States, knowing that our Federal Reserve doesn’t have a clue! They raised rates too soon, too often, & tightened, while others did just the opposite....

....As well as we are doing from the day after the great Election, when the Market shot right up, it could have been even better - massive additional wealth would have been created, & used very well. Our most difficult problem is not our competitors, it is the Federal Reserve!

Democrats must change the Loophole & Asylum Laws - but they probably won’t! They want Open Borders, which means massive crime and drugs!

Now that's a breakfast. I really like pie.

Good morning! Any ice cream in the freezer?

Beautiful. That crust looks so flakey. Mom always said, “pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze.” She’d often get a piece of cheddar to go with.

Good morning, lysie

Oh, my....what a delicious looking pie!

Thanks for addressing our pie craving. Sometimes, a slice of pie and a cup of covfefe are all we need to start our day off right. :-)

Good morning, HM.

Thanks for the APV and Yes, we sure do need to pray.

Among many other things,I’m praying for the safety of all those who are in the earthquake area and especially for my loved ones.

Haven’t heard back from family that lives in Mount Mesa, one of the communities in the Lake Isabella area, SIL’s brother and wife lives in Bakersfield, highway closed between, not sure if it has opened yet.

After flipping a finger at the President and the federal government, Gov. Gavin New-sense wants help.

The feds will help no matter what but Californians better wake up!

Isn't it interesting that the WaPo's David Ignatius, the recipient of the criminal leak of intercepts of Gen. Flynn and the mouthpiece of Brennan's CIA and sycophant of Clapper, was guest speaker at the same Link Campus University in Rome where Papadopoulos was lured by Mifsud

There's no such thing as a coincidence.

SIX MONTHS OF 2019 are on the books already, and certainly there have been six months’ worth of data breaches, supply chain manipulations, state-backed hacking campaigns, and harbingers of cyberwar to show for it. But the hallmark of 2019, perhaps, is feeling like the worst is yet to come. Ransomware is an ever-growing threat, corporate and US government security is still a mess, and geopolitical tensions are rising worldwide.

Before we see what the future holds, though, let’s recap some of the major cybersecurity incidents that have cropped up so far this year.

US Customs and Border Protection Contractor Perceptics
In May, a surveillance contractor for Customs and Border Protection suffered a breach and hackers stole photos of travelers and license plates related to about 100,000 people. The Tennessee-based contractor, a longtime CBP affiliate known as Perceptics, also lost detailed information about its surveillance hardware and how CBP implements it at multiple US ports of entry. The Perceptics breach was first reported by The Register, and CBP officials later disclosed the incident to the Washington Post. Though CBP was hesitant at first to admit that Perceptics was the contractor that had suffered the breach, the agency sent a Microsoft Word document to the Post titled “CBP Perceptics Public Statement” in its initial response. Days later, hackers posted the stolen Perceptics data to the dark web. On Tuesday, CBP suspended Perceptics from federal contracting, though it did not say why.

LILY HAY NEWMAN COVERS INFORMATION SECURITY, DIGITAL PRIVACY, AND HACKING FOR WIRED.
CBP has spent the past two decades ramping up its use of border surveillance technologies, and there appears to be no end in sight. For example, the agency wants facial recognition scans to be standard in the top 20 US airports by 2021. But civil rights and privacy advocates say that these aggressive initiatives pose a danger to US citizens and the global community in general. The Perceptics incident is seen as a clear example of those risks. As Jeramie Scott, senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, told WIRED in June, “The agency simply should not collect this sensitive personal information if it cannot safeguard it.”
***************************************
One to Watch: Iran
Ever since President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 Iranian nuclear agreement last year, international relations and cybersecurity experts have been warning that the move could escalate tensions between the two countries, particularly in cyberspace. This appeared to hold true in the second half of 2018, and the first six months of 2019 have borne even more marked escalations. Iranian hackers have ramped up campaigns around the world, and particularly against US targets, as the two countries clash more openly in the physical world.

June, in particular, saw tensions continue to rise with a series of incidents in the Middle East. On June 13, two fuel tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman. The US blamed Iran, and also accused Iranians of attempting to shoot down a US drone. One week later, Iran succeeded in shooting down an unmanned surveillance drone, which it claimed had entered Iranian airspace. Trump considered then ultimately aborted a kinetic strike in response to the provocation, but US Cyber Command was approved to launch a damaging cyberattack against Iran’s rocket and missile launch control systems, however. The hack reportedly took weeks or months for Cyber Command to design and orchestrate. Meanwhile, Iran has been digitally clapping back at the US. The question now is whether cyberstrikes can really be used as an alternative to kinetic conflict—as some war scholars have proposed—or whether they only serve to escalate real-world combat.
