girlfreddy OP , 19 days ago to news in The President Ordered a Board to Probe a Massive Russian Cyberattack. It Never Did.

they had previously studied this attack

I don’t see that stated in the article. All I can find is this …

• For its third, the board investigated a separate 2023 attack, in which Chinese state hackers exploited an array of Microsoft security shortcomings to access the email inboxes of top federal officials.

So DHS decided to rely on that info which never looked at SolarWinds …

• Silvers told ProPublica that DHS decided the board didn’t need to do its own review of SolarWinds as directed by the White House because the attack had already been “closely studied” by the public and private sectors.

girlfreddy OP , 20 days ago to world in Rafah is a dusty, rubble-strewn ghost town 2 months after Israel invaded to root out Hamas

International media was barred by Israel to visit Gaza since the start of the war. Local media was obviously there and being intentionally targeted, which may have been why Israel wouldn’t let international media in.

Soon after The Times began asking questions, (Ryan O’Leary, the de facto commander of Chosen Company and a former U.S. Army National Guardsman from Iowa) vowed to find out who was speaking to journalists.

“Some stuff the reporter brought up was only known by a few people,” he wrote in a group chat. “But we will cast a wide net regardless to snare the rabbit.”

He’s stated that publically, yes. But who knows what’s being said behind closed doors.

The one thing that’s almost guaranteed (if she’s on the ballot for POTUS) is she’ll bring out the Black vote en masse. That in and of itself could turn the tide for the Dems.

This claim, which is older than the war in gaza is a way to demonize Israel.

Israel is demonizing themselves without anyone else’s help. Don’t blame others for what Bebe and the ultra nationalists are doing rn.

According to the AMA they are fully licensed, the same as MDs.

Osteopathic physicians, also known as doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), are fully licensed physicians, just like doctors of medicine (MDs).
