The new face of masculinity strikes again, and most media are still ignoring it: Weeks after reports that Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff slapped his then-girlfriend for talking to another man comes news that staffers at his old law firm accuse him of being an “a–hole” and a “misogynist” who demeaned female colleagues. None of that’s fully confirmed, of course, but he did admit to knocking up the nanny while married to his first wife. And of course the new charges would have brought a major-media firestorm if they’d been leveled against, say, Brett Kavanaugh. Indeed, then-Sen. Kamala Harris was all...

The Black Futures Lab, a venture of Black Lives Matter founder Alicia Garza, is sponsored by the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), an organization that works with China’s communist government to push its agenda in the United States, according to an investigation by the Heritage Foundation’s Mike Gonzalez. Gonzalez discovered that the Black Futures Lab donation page explicitly states they are “a fiscally sponsored project of the Chinese Progressive Association,” explaining where donations to Black Futures Lab are funneled.

First, he was cleared by the DA — and now he wants to be cleared by the fashion police. The man who was attacked on an F train by women who mocked his 1980s-style 8-ball jacket will not be charged with assault for hitting one of them because he acted in self-defense, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said on Wednesday.

He told The Post that the jacket is actually highly fashionable right now and was worn...

Last Saturday, a little after midnight, someone, apparently the semi-official Chinese "Honkers Union", unleashed the Slapper worm. Similar to the 2001 Chinese Code Red worm, Slapper spread faster and did more damage. Like Code Red, Slapper took advantage of known flaws in Internet software (in this case, Microsoft's widely used SQL Sever.) A British Internet security firm discovered the software flaw six months ago and described how something like Slapper would work. A few months later, Honkers Union members published a more complete example of a worm, giving credit to the earlier work. Microsoft quickly created a patch for their...

A virulent Linux worm is creating an attack network on the Internet, security clearing house CERT warned this weekend. Slapper exploits a previously-disclosed OpenSSL vulnerability, to create an attack platform for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against other sites. The worm also has backdoor functionality, according to, security tools vendor ISS. It describes the malicious code as a variation of the much less virulent Apache "Scalper" BSD worm. The OpenSSL server vulnerability exploit exists on a wide variety of platforms, but Slapper appears to work only on Linux systems running Apache with the OpenSSL module (mod_ssl) on Intel architectures. The...
