Thousands of air passengers faced chaos yesterday after hundreds of flights were delayed at Heathrow as a suspected cyber-attack crippled its electronic check-in and boarding facilities. The same strike left Brussels airport paralysed yesterday, with half of all flights being cancelled. There were also disruptions at Berlin, Dublin and Cork – and there are warnings the turmoil could continue for days. As the National Cyber Security Centre – the public-facing arm of GCHQ – launched an investigation last night, experts blamed groups linked to Russia.

If an "expert" say it in the DM, it's probably not true.

Putin is looking smaller and smaller. He thought he was going to take the Kiev airport and remove the Ukraine government. That was 4 years ago, after which Russia has 1 million casualties, most of their tanks destroyed, mired down in trench warfare, and Russia itself under drone attack. Putin is responding to new sanctions coming from the EU and USA. It won't work, as the economies of the EU and USA dwarf that of Russia. Putin has regressed to his KGB mental state, rather than facing realty. Russia is isolated, but it may not matter, as Russia covers 11 time zones, and the Russian people are essentially isolated anyway, and because of it, are unlikely to mount much opposition to Putin.

Putin would never disrupt cyber communications in Britain or send fighter planes over Estonia or drones over Poland - especially since those countries have done nothing, zip, nada, to supply and assist his wartime enemies. Why would he provoke a fight with innocent bystanders?

Try the Orlando to Newark run. 4 canceled flights in the last year and of course only after arriving at the airport. One was a 10 am that was stung along till 6 pm then cancelled. One I dropped the wife off and all was fine. An hour and a half later walked in the house and hers was canceled and I had to go back. I think it’s routine for us.

'hallmarks of Putin', eh? Is this like the Huncher laptop story "bearing hallmarks of Russian interference"? Oh, and is it a "suspected cyber attack" or did they rule out that it was not an internal screw-up and it WAS a cyber-attack? Just wondering. #5, it sounds like you have the same 'luck' with airline travel as I do!

Russia houses a lot of rogue and privately run groups of hackers, scam artists and cyber criminals, not necessarily linked to Putin's government but in this case they could be. It could also be one of those benevolent doctors in Nigeria.

New Social Media Trend: Pregnant Leftists
Down Tylenol to Defy Trump

Posted by JoElla Bee 9/24/2025 5:06:14 PM Post Reply
In a bizarre "stand" against President Trump, liberal pregnant women have taken to social media, posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol. This comes after a major announcement on Monday, where the Trump administration said that they will no longer recommend pregnant women take Tylenol, as they believe it may increase the chances of a child being born with autism. Even if the announcement were untrue, why would these mothers risk hurting their children simply to rub it in President Trump's face? It is less of taking a stand, and more of just plain stupidity.

Federal agents executing a search warrant at the downtown office of former National Security Adviser John Bolton in late August seized a cache of documents marked as classified, according to court documents. The office mission was the second such search conducted by the FBI following an early-morning raid at Bolton's home. The application for the warrant at his office, according to the filing, was to search for "evidence of a crime" and to locate potential "contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed."

A registered Democrat mother in New Jersey is going viral after posting a TikTok video admitting she had her political “turning point” the day her 11-year-old daughter came home from school saying she hated Charlie Kirk—without even knowing who he was.[snip] Kryssa revealed she never spoke about Kirk in her household, nor had her daughter seen his videos. The hate, she realized, was planted elsewhere, inside the classroom. Her daughter, a sixth-grader, is surrounded by classmates who regularly bash Trump supporters, and Kryssa admitted that peer pressure already made her daughter feel uncomfortable that her mother supports President Trump.

Death Penalty for Kirk Assassin? Bad Idea 38 replies

I am not opposed to using the death penalty for specific heinous crimes. Certainly, it was warranted for Timothy McVeigh, and Charlie Kirk’s killing was indeed heinous. However, the alleged assassin is Tyler Robinson and that gives me pause, because there are thousands of Tylers out there ready to make him a martyr. This hate-filled, deluded, brainwashed community has been groomed deliberately by a Machiavellian academia since the 1960s. There was a time when public education institutions were staffed with unbiased professors and educated their students with genuine facts and encouraged independent thought. That was back then.

President Trump addressed the United Nations today and roasted the world’s elites right to their faces. Our own Katie Pavlich is traveling with the president, noting that, unlike his first presidency, these leaders aren’t laughing anymore. Trump means business, and he doesn’t bluff. Yet, there might have been acts of sabotage, something that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said must be investigated. These aren’t unfounded accusations; some UN staffers were joking about screwing around with the escalators, which stopped working as soon as the president and First Lady Melania Trump hopped on them. The microphones were also not functioning correctly, and the teleprompter was malfunctioning.

Just as the United Nations was preparing to begin its annual general assembly, which will be headlined by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, the United States Secret Service discovered a "massive hidden telecom network" in New York, with startling implications. According to reports, the now-dismantled system included over 300 servers and 100,000 fake SIM cards that could have been used to overwhelm the 911 network and disable large portions of the city's cell tower network. The dismantled system consisted of over 300 SIM servers and more than 100,000 SIM cards spread within a 35-mile radius of the United Nations headquarters. Investigators say the network could have blacked out

With violent crime unchecked in major American cities, President Donald Trump has moved to lower thefts, assaults and murders by providing federal help to besieged local police. How do Americans feel about this? They mostly favor local control, but don’t entirely reject federal involvement in local policing, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. September’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,362 adults: “President Trump has moved to take control of the Washington, D.C., police.

Muslim leaders who at first, before their fellow believers had achieved dominance, played the victim and spoke of religious freedom and minority rights, now wield their power ruthlessly, imposing sharia law with increasing imperiousness and treating the non-Muslims among them the same way that infidels have always been treated in Islamic societies.
