National Guardsmen just completed a two-week training exercise which saw them respond to a simulated cyberattack that took out critical utilities across the United States. The exercises have become an annual event, but this year took on even more significance after coming on the heels of several major ransomware and cyber attacks that crippled large parts of American infrastructure in recent months. The exercises were part of the seventh Cyber Yankee, an training event that brings together guardsmen from throughout the New England region to test their responses against simulated cyberattacks. This year’s exercises simulated a cyber attack that targeted...

As a young woman working in both Republican politics and the environmental space, I’ve heard time and time again that the GOP supports neither women nor climate action. Yet, in my decade of working in the conservative movement, I’ve found the GOP increasingly disproves this and other stereotypes. In fact, just this week, Maggie’s List, a PAC founded specifically to elect conservative women, announced 2022 endorsements that showcase a GOP fueled by powerful, intelligent women. Let’s begin by taking a look at the record number of GOP women winning seats and inspiring future women in leadership positions. A total of...

During a portion of an interview with theGrio released on Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stated that Republicans are blocking federal election legislation “Because they can’t win any other way. They can’t win any other way. So, they have to suppress the vote.” And compared the situation to the Battle of Trenton during the Revolutionary War. TheGrio D.C Bureau Chief April Ryan said, “The reality, you just brought up the Republicans, Mitch McConnell is leading the effort saying, no, no, no to voting rights.”

It has been a week of staggering home prices increase news which has seen the median existing home price surge to a record $350,000…… up a whopping 24% from a year ago…… while today we learned that the median new home price surged 18%, also to a record $374,400 (the average selling price was also a record $430,600)…… the result being a collapse in homebuyer sentiment…… leading to a sharp slowdown in actual sale transactions, as the soaring prices start to adversely impact the broader market.Remarkably summing up what’s going on in the housing market, veteran housing analyst Ivy Zelman...

Dr. Robert Malone, the “inventor of mRNA vaccines,” told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that a broadcast of a podcast he did discussing his concerns with the COVID-19 vaccines was removed from YouTube.Carlson argued Malone “has a right to speak,” even if it’s contrary to what NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci is saying."[O]ne of my concerns are that the government is not being transparent with us about what those risks are. And so, I am of the opinion that people have the right to decide whether to accept vaccines or not," Malone said of the vaccines, noting that they...

CDMedia broke the news last week how the Happy Faces Personnel Group is financed by Now Account, of which Democrat operative Stacey Abrams is an owner. Happy Faces was heavily involved in working elections in GA during the 2020 general poll and U.S. Senate runoff. We also reported how Happy Faces has infiltrated all levels of the Georgia state government. Below is an eye witness account of probable criminal behavior by Happy Faces personnel during the 2020 U.S. general election in GA. ———————– CDMedia spoke with Fulton County, GA (Atlanta) resident Barbara Hartman at length recently regarding her experience as...

Famous rapper Lecrae recently tweeted, “I love Jesus, but I’m not churchy. I used to be embarrassed by that, but now I realize it is okay to love God but not fit in with Church culture.”I will agree with Lecrae if he is alluding only to a religious, legalistic, church culture. However, if he is referring to not participating in a local church, I strongly disagree. This sentiment exhibits a growing trend of Christians who do not see the importance of being affiliated with a local church. Is this healthy? Can a Christ-follower truly follow Jesus apart from a local...

Why Are They Woke? The systemic con behind wokeism.There are lots of reasons why wokeism spread like wildfire once America lost its collective mind during the pandemic, quarantine, self-induced recession, and rioting of 2020. Wokeism was never really about racism, sexism, or other -isms. Instead, for some, it illustrated a psychological pathology of projection: fobbing one’s own concrete prejudices onto others in order to alleviate or mask them. So should we laugh or cry that Black Lives Matter’s self-described Marxist co-founder turns out to be a corporate grifter? Patrisse Cullors has accumulated several upscale homes and is under investigation by...

The Chinese Communists had promised the world a safe, effective vaccine to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Before their vaccines had even hit the market, they were selling millions of doses to countries such as Mongolia, Bahrain, and Chile. They loaned a billion dollars to Latin America so countries there could afford the shots. They gave 100,000 doses to tiny, impoverished Bangladesh.All of this was to build goodwill and improve strained relations that China had damaged so much in recent years. Indonesia — which never counted itself a “friend” of China — was being given vaccine doses when most of the...

Clearly, Chicago’s mayor has...

Deprogramming of January 6 Defendants Is Underway The entire investigation is an attempt to prosecute people based on their beliefs. Those who purge their views and admit their wrongthink will be given mercy. Those who don’t will pay dearly.“My lawyer has given me names of books and movies to help me see what life is like for others in our country. I’ve learned that even though we live in a wonderful country things still need to improve. People of all colors should feel as safe as I do to walk down the street.”That passage is part book report, part white...

Two Editors of Archbishop Viganò’s Writings Respond to the Accusations of Professor de MatteiThe following text is a composite response from Professor Brian McCall and Dr. Maike Hickson, both of whom are involved in book projects with collections of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s writings of the last years. We thought that, by virtue of our work and close collaboration with His Grace, we might be competent to speak for and defend him. We do so in two consecutive texts, written individually. We are both honored to add our Apologiae pro Viganò’ to those already published by Dr. Taylor Marshall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gctxhniG1Rs...

The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reports McAfee, 75, died within hours of the extradition ruling. McAfee’s lawyer in Spain told Reuters that he hanged himself.

WASHINGTON, Sunday, June 23. I see you are puzzled to understand the proposition of the rebel Government to buy one-half of the cotton crop. Let me tell you what Mr. Ex-Secretary COBB expects to make by his scheme, and how he expects to make it successful. The cotton obtained from the planters is to be sent to one point, probably New-Orleans. Mr. COBB then expects to say to England, "We have gathered one-half our crop at one point; you must raise the blockade and let it out." If England's necessities are so great as to impel her to such an...

A Florida police officer was shot in the head while escorting a man out of a car — sparking a frantic manhunt and putting an entire county on lockdown, authorities said. The 26-year-old officer, who was not immediately identified, was shot late Wednesday in Daytona Beach while conducting a “proactive patrol,” where he encountered Othal Wallace, 29, sitting in a 2016 Honda with California tags.

It looks like the ongoing semiconductor pain for the auto industry could finally be on the track to subsiding. That’s because car chip vendors are now able to “ramp up output” thanks to more foundry house support coming online, Digitimes Asia reported overnight. The report notes that some international automotive IC vendors have “notified their clients that they can expect more supplies in second-half 2021” as foundries expand production capacity. For example, the report notes that “Globalfoundries has just broken ground for a 12-inch fab construction project in Singapore”. Additionally, industry sources in Taiwan told Digitimes that delivery lead times...

On this date in 1953, a guerrilla with the nom de guerre “Khmara” was shot in Kiev’s Lukianivka Prison for his involvement in a still-controversial resistance movement. History is lived forward but understood backward. Therein lies the ambiguity of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a nationalist organization that operated in Galicia and environs after the Nazi invasion and persisted several years afterwards. At its height, the UPA is said to have had up to 100,000 members, famously operating out of subterranean forest bunkers. This day’s victim was the captain of one of its companies; there is very little about him...

Source: Screenshot via NickelodeonThe halcyon days of the past seem much calmer, peaceful and within reach compared to the never-ending and unpleasant culture changes of today. My generation of Americans was raised in the church and taught to live and act according to the moral and ethical prescriptions written in the Holy Bible. It was a life guide for business, relationships and how one should carry themselves. Looking back at the greatest generation and the one that came afterward, it is evident those time-tested values duly prepared these Americans for true greatness – so well that even the Father above...
