The Municipal Water Authority in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, has reported their water system was hacked by an Iranian-backed cyber group on Saturday. Mathew Mottes, the chairman of the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa, stated that the cyber group called Cyber Av3ngers hacked one of their booster stations. Penn Live reported the cyber hackers were able to “shut down a pump on a supply line that provides drinking water from the Aliquippa Municipal Water Authority’s treatment plant to Raccoon and Potter townships in Beaver County.”

Hacking a water supply in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, wherever that is, is a pointless act. It doesn’t make me terrified like I’m supposed to be. Track down the little worms and arrest them.

What we fail to understand is that not every act of intimidation and terrorism comes from the top. All these scare tactics are most likely thought up by a few friends who hate the West. They set out to intimidate and scare us because they can. What it means to the rest of us is that our governments local, state and federal are failing to do their due diligence when it comes to securing our public resources. As my mom would say, it’s too late to pray when the devil comes, and I believe we are going to get the shock of our lives when we wake up and our grid has been hacked. The security of our public resources should be a priority. It is not much to our shame. Our complacency will come and bite us on the butt when we least expect it. This is why Americans hate politicians. They are unserious which will result in a real crisis. With the onset of the use of the internet for just about everything, security should be a number one priority. If politicians worked as hard at that one issue more than they did their re-election, we would be in a very good place. However, they cannot pull themselves away from the goodies in the DC trough of corruption and greed.

President Joe Biden confusing Taylor Swift and Britney Spears may have been funny, but a continued inability to connect with young people, especially young Democrats, will not be a laughing matter for his reelection campaign next year. With hypothetical head-to-head polling indicating a close race between Biden and likely 2024 Republican nominee former President Donald Trump, every vote will count in 12 months. Biden's support of Israel amid its war against Hamas has strained the president's relationship with young people, including Democrats, who are more open to criticizing Israel than their older counterparts

Joe Biden has apparently noticed that the price of everything is much higher on his watch than a few years ago. He is now asking sellers to just lower their prices. As a viral commercial once said. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. Companies don’t lower prices just because inflation is politically inconvenient for the president and his party. (X) From the New York Post: Biden admits prices ‘too high’ but blames sellers for 18% inflation President Biden acknowledged Monday that prices are still “too high” and argued that companies should lower them after an 18% jump in consumer costs since he took office.

As Israel exchanges Palestinian criminals and terrorists for innocent Israelis taken captive by Hamas during the 10/7 massacres, we learned that at least one American was among the freed hostages – a four-year-old little girl named Abigail Edan. Abigail’s parents were murdered by Hamas during the attack. This is welcome news, of course, and President Joe Biden took some personal credit for her release, but there’s an interesting coincidence that The Drill Down’s hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers can’t ignore: Abigail’s great aunt is Elizabeth (Liz) Naftali, a wealthy real estate investor in Los Angeles’s fashion district and a large contributor to the Democratic Party and to the Biden family.

This is the incredible moment a 'hero' Israeli hostage stared down a masked Hamas terrorist as she was finally released following 53 days in captivity. Rimon Kirsht, 36, was part of the fifth group of Israeli and foreign hostages who were handed back over to Israel on Tuesday as part of a fragile ceasefire deal which is currently set to end tomorrow morning. International mediators are working to extend the truce in Gaza, encouraging Hamas terrorists to keep freeing hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and further relief from Israel's air and ground offensive.

Schiff said, “Donald Trump could not have done any of the damage that he inflicted, the tearing down of our institutions, the causing Americans to distrust our election process, weakening the foundation of our system, and that is voting, but for the willing enablement of so many of her colleagues in Congress.

Arizona’s Democratic attorney general announced today that a grand jury has decided to indict two election officials for conspiring to delay the certification of votes in their county over their desire to hand-count all election day and early ballots. Peggy Judd and Terry Crosby, Republican county supervisors from Cochise County, were indicted by the state of Arizona on Nov. 29 on counts of conspiracy and interference with an election. Judd and Crosby wanted to hand count ballots in their county, citing their distrust of voting machines, and delayed the certification of their county’s election results over those concerns. “The repeated attempts to undermine our democracy are unacceptable,”

Israeli-American dual citizen Liat Beinin has been freed by Hamas and is reportedly in the hands of the Red Cross after seven weeks in captivity. Beinin, 49, is an American-born Israeli who was kidnapped by the terrorist organization along with her husband, Aviv Atzili, from Kibbutz Nir Or on the morning of October 7. During the horrific attack, the couple's house was burned down. The next day, Aviv's phone was geo-located to Gaza. His mother, 78-year-old Telma Atzili, hid for 10 hours during the attack and has been in Eilat with her grandchildren.

It was an alluring idea at first. Hunter Biden would appear in public before Congress on Dec. 13 to answer questions about his family’s influence-peddling business. But of course, it was just another ruse by his high-priced lawyers to avoid accountability and stage a pity party. Everyone else subpoenaed in James Comer’s House Oversight investigation of the Bidens has to first sit for a transcribed interview under oath. In Hunter’s case, the committee has hundreds of bank documents, and other evidence to put before him relating to millions of dollars he and other Biden family members raked in from America’s foreign adversaries during his father’s vice presidency.

The lies regarding EVs abound everywhere on the Internet. The Left is busy once again creating an apocryphal reality. Entry after entry assures us that EVs are safer and cheaper to run than gas-powered vehicles. One site, for example, insists that EV sales are on fire, but not EVs. My own research, conversations with EV owners, and inquiries at dealerships have proven otherwise. Of course, the Law of Narrative Gravity — the more widely known or weightier a story is, the more likely it is to be accepted as fact — provides for EV enthusiasm, such as it is, but it is countered by Hutber’s Law, which states that deterioration
