US President Joe Biden delivered a stern warning Wednesday to Russian leader Vladimir Putin over ransomware attacks emanating from Russia, saying he was prepared to retaliate against any more cyber assaults on American infrastructure. Speaking after the two leaders' first summit in Geneva, Biden said he laid down the line on Moscow not taking action against hackers who have extorted hundreds of millions of dollars from western governments, companies, and organisations from the safety of Russian soil. "I pointed out to him we have significant cyber capability and he knows it," Biden said in a press conference after their talks.

Oh no please, not the "red line". Putin must be shaking in his boots. Now for sure Biden is going to be a serious candidate for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.

Who among us could have foreseen a day when the leader of Russia would be far more credible than the pResident of the USA? FTA: "In a separate press conference following the three-and-a-half hours of discussions, Putin rejected the allegations and insisted that the United States itself was behind a large number of cyberattacks."

Putin: Whew. I’m glad that is over. If he called me Corn Dog once more I was going die laughing. Aide: Sir, according to the American Press, Biden manhandled you. Putin: he doesn’t even remember our conversation by now. He agreed to limit us to only 1 ransomware attack per month. He just needs his 12% of the take. All in Bitcoin. Apparently his rates gone up since he became “president” (snicker, snicker). Aide

That's like a mayor announcing that he is concerned about some burglaries but not others and calling it a "red line." Before Biden's "red line" the statutory prohibition against any ransomware attacks was the red line.

Federal holiday pressures
companies to give Juneteenth off

Posted by NorthernDog 6/18/2021 6:47:57 PM Post Reply
NEW YORK -- The declaration of Juneteenth as a federal holiday is putting the pressure on more U.S. companies to give their employees the day off, accelerating a movement that took off last year in response to the racial justice protests that swept the country. Hundreds of top companies had already pledged last year to observe Juneteenth in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd and the national reckoning on racism that followed. But most private companies take their cues from the federal government — the country's largest employer — in drawing up their holiday calendars. President Joe Biden signed legislation

The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted more than 500 points in a broad-based sell-off Friday, wrapping up its worst week in nearly eight months as investors fretted over interest rates. The Dow fell 533.37 points to 33,290.08, a 1.58% decline, while the S&P 500 dropped 55.41 points, or 1.3%, to 4,166.45. (Snip) Analysts said the volatility was driven in part by remarks from St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard, who told CNBC that it would be "natural" for the Board of Governors to respond in more "hawkish" way on interest rates if inflation continues to outpace expectations during the

U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has the power to stymie oil and gas development on government-controlled lands and waters, industry and environmental experts said, even though a court decision ended his freeze on federal drilling auctions. Some options, they said, include offering sparse acreage or imposing more time-consuming permitting requirements. "We lived through the Obama administration, and they did a lot of things to constrain leasing and other activity on federal lands," Kathleen Sgamma, president of industry trade group Western Energy Alliance, said in an interview. "And frankly they have the power to do so." In January, Biden temporarily suspended

Even still, the house is listed for $590,000 cash. "We have an expression 'if it smells it wont sell,'" said Mimi Foster, the listing agent with Falcon Property Company. "I am putting that to the

The Biden administration on Tuesday made tens of thousands of Central American immigrants in the U.S. eligible to petition for their children to come to the country legally as part of an effort to discourage youths from journeying to the southern border. Shortly after taking office, President Biden ordered officials to revive the Obama-era Central American Minors program, which originally allowed certain at-risk children in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to come to the U.S. as long as their parents had secured legal status in the country. The Obama administration portrayed the program as an alternative to the often perilous

There is one big thing wrong with the American dream of owning one's own home: the price. Now that the pandemic is easing across much of the country, prices are skyrocketing — just like at the peak of the housing bubble, houses are being snapped up for well over the asking price in a matter of hours. The Case-Shiller home price index saw an annualized growth rate of 13.3 percent in March, the highest figure in more than seven years. All this is a consequence of the American idea, and the goofy system we've constructed to prop it up, that homes

The SS4C Auckland announced its disbandment on Facebook. The group said its organizers had "avoided, ignored, and tokenized BIPOC voices and demands," especially those of Pacific Islanders and Māori individuals. "Going forward, we will only be using our social media to uplift BIPOC-led climate justice spaces in Auckland," the organization said.

NEW YORK — A new analysis of blood samples from 24,000 Americans taken early last year is the latest and largest study to suggest that the new coronavirus popped up in the U.S. in December 2019 — weeks before cases were first recognized by health officials. The analysis is not definitive, and some experts remain skeptical, but federal health officials are increasingly accepting a timeline in which small numbers of COVID-19 infections may have occurred in the U.S. before the world ever became aware of a dangerous new virus erupting in China. “The studies are pretty consistent,” said Natalie Thornburg

In a new interview with Anderson Cooper that aired Monday, he divulged more about their beliefs. Among them is their "good sense" of "cancel culture," he said.

The election of 2020 is going to lay bare the dereliction of the Supreme Court for all to see. The COVD-19 pandemic gave numerous state election officials an excuse to implement far-reaching changes to our election processes. Those changes obviously made our systems vulnerable to fraud. States implemented massive mail-in balloting at the same time they relaxed ballot security and voter identification. They even extended the voting periods -- to give the criminals more time to commit their fraud. All these changes were unconstitutional. (snip) The Supreme Court declined to get involved.

If Catholic politicians who support abortion rights were anxious about being restricted from receiving Holy Communion, they can breathe easier. Such a prohibition is now off the table at Thursday’s U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “We are no longer proposing a national policy” regarding who may present themselves for Communion, Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Indiana’s Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese told delegates to a virtual USCCB spring meeting. Bishop Rhoades, who chairs the group’s doctrinal committee, conceded the notion “was in the original proposal” for the document, he added, “We never meant it as it’s been interpreted in many media sources.”
