A temporary glitch on X led to a credibility bloodbath for a variety of foreign propaganda accounts that were either posing as Americans or lying about their locations in other ways. Days prior, Head of Product Nikita Brier had announced a new feature revealing the origin and current location of users. When it rolled out, though, only account owners could view it. That all changed on Friday night, though. In what is assumed to have been a mistake, everyone's origins and current locations were made public for about an hour before disappearing.

I strongly suspect many of the terrible policies bombarding us originate from outside our country. Our enemies cannot defeat us on the battlefield, so they need to get us to defeat ourselves from within. It's been going on for decades. Maybe even a century. Alot of it goes back to Russia. Now add in China, Iran, and any other group that hates us. Much of it has caught on here so our enemies just sit back and watch the discord they have created. They think a divided enemy is more easily defeated. They want us divided.

Good to know. Many are likely truly fake. But the location in profiles can legitimately be different from where the person actually is. When I worked overseas, we were all "in" the UK because we wanted Sky TV.

Hopefully there will be exposes based on this data from other perspectives. Basic information about where X accounts originated and where tweets are posted from should be routinely provided by X going forward.

The feature seems to me to be a highly desirable feature. It helps to identify fraudsters and propagandists pretending to be something they are not. It is a shame that they took it down.

Seems to be a double-edged sword to me. It might expose some bots and other nefarious poseurs in countries different from what they portray, but then it could also be used to effectively doxx good guys that wish to conceal their locations. No effect on me personally as I nuked my Twitter/X account in January, 2021. I've never been back, and don't ever plan to come back.

Our nation’s enemies use our “Free Speech” as a weapon against us. This is why Freedom of Speech should only apply to U.S. citizens. X should keep this as a permanent feature, thereby taking away yet another nefarious “election tool” of Democrats.

Remember the old saying, believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see? It has never been more true than today. There is so much outright lying in social media, especially Facebook and Instagram. Zuckerburg turns a blind eye, as long as the revenues are there. He's an especially vile man.

I worked computer security for the Air Force for many years. There is a tool that is called Traceroute that will take an IP Address and trace it back to origin. I know some of you are saying how do you trace an IP Address if it is Spoofed. Well there are tools to break that as well, all Internet digital traffic has to go through Routers to direct the path for the traffic to get to it's location, and all of that information can be stored in the router to later analyze where it actually came from. What I don't understand is why OUR GOVERNMENT Techies at the NSA or other places NOT use these and other tools to shut down all this Internet Scam Crapola!

Following months of trading insults, Trump

For months, Donald Trump warned New Yorkers against electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor, referring to him as a “communist lunatic.” Mamdani, meanwhile, called Trump a “despot.” All of that was put aside in an extraordinary Oval Office get-together Friday, the first face-to-face meeting between the two men. Trump, who sought to kneecap Mamdani during the campaign, was exceedingly complimentary of the self-described democratic socialist, while Mamdani repeatedly talked up his hope that he and the president could work together to lower costs for New Yorkers. “I met with a man who’s a very rational person,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office following the private

The U.N. climate talks COP30 were hastily evacuated Thursday night due to a fire breaking out inside the venue in Belém, Brazil. Smoke, flames, and a rise in temperature engulfed the pavilion area as panicked attendees rushed outside to be met by fire crews entering the stricken zone. Reuters reports security footage showed flames spreading rapidly up an internal fabric shell that lined the walls and ceiling of the building before being extinguished. Thirteen people were treated for smoke inhalation at the venue, organizers said, as thousands of delegates were evacuated as security staff formed a human barrier across the hallway.

House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, contacted the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to request protection for four representatives who appeared in a video message encouraging military troops to defy orders from their superiors that they deem illegal. Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), and Jason Crow (CO-6), along with Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), tried agitating some troops and intelligence officials into potentially illegal actions of their own by defying orders they personally interpret as unlawful. It was a startling effort. The message was clear. They laid it out quite clearly, referencing "this administration" and how it

Male inmates at an all-female prison in Fort Worth, Texas, are temporarily restricted from entering or using female-only private areas, a judge decided this week. It is the first time a federal court has ruled that male inmates must be sex-segregated in women’s prisons. The Federal Medical Center, Carswell is a formerly women-only prison in Texas that currently houses several men who identify as women. FMC Carswell recently housed dozens of people who identify as trans or intersex, according to a federal report. Female inmates have for years petitioned the state to separate trans-identifying men from women’s private spaces.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The National Transportation Safety Board has issued its preliminary report into the crash of UPS 2976 , an MD-11F bound for Honolulu that crashed on takeoff at Muhammad International Airport. The preliminary report was released 16 days after the crash. The three crewmembers were killed, as were 11 people on the ground. There were also 23 injuries as a result of the crash. The initial report shows that the taxi and takeoff roll were uneventful. The Flight Data Recorder contained about 63 hours of data that spanned 24 flights, including the crash. Initial investigation revealed that the left engine and left pylon detached during takeoff.

Employers across the U.S. added 119,000 jobs in September, marking a pickup after previous employment data had shown a slowdown in hiring. The report marks the first official job tally since the government shutdown ended last week, ending a six-week blackout on labor data.

With a little less than a year to go before the 2026 midterm elections, a Marist Poll shows Democrats leading Republicans by a massive +14 points in the generic ballot. “Democrats currently have a 14-point lead against the Republicans among registered voters nationally on the 2026 generic congressional ballot question,” writes Marist. “This has changed considerably. Since 2022, voters have been divided about which party’s candidate they would support.” This, even though those polled “place most of the blame for the shutdown on congressional Democrats.” Still, “six in ten [blame] either the President or the GOP in Congress.”

Yesterday we learned that a three judge panel had ruled 2-1 that Texas would not be allowed to use newly drawn maps in the midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey V. Brown, who is a Trump appointee, joined U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama, an Obama appointee, to demand the state return to its previously drawn maps. The core of their ruling was that the goal of the redistricting was not partisan political advantage, but racial gerrymandering. The state had argued that the entire redistricting process was based on a partisan goal, which the U.S. Supreme Court has previously said courts cannot intervene to prevent. But the plaintiffs pointed to a letter

That is the gist of the latest drama playing out among the House Democrat Caucus after the lower chamber voted on Tuesday in favor of the resolution, with 23 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote with Republicans (236-183-4) in what ended up being a deeply humiliating moment not just for Rep. Jesús "Chuy" Garcia (IL-04) but for Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), who had urged his caucus to vote against it. In a nutshell,

First, I am not a doctor, but I have medical experience in Respiratory Therapy. When the COVID-19 “Flu” emerged, I knew that an effective vaccine could not have been manufactured and tested effectively in that amount of time. I also knew that the 6-foot distancing rule was nothing more than political and social theatre. The mask fiasco was not only unnecessary, but it created more problems than it solved. Rebreathing damp, contaminated carbon dioxide-laden (CO2) air can lead to hypercapnia and even hypoxia. For these reasons, neither my better half nor I received the jab or ever wore a mask, and when we did experience the COVID “flu,” it lasted

The socialist pol said he’s eager to work with Trump because they agreed that the Big Apple needs to be more affordable at their surprisingly chummy meeting Friday. “What I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement,” he said. “

It ain’t so much the things we don’t know that — Mark Twain (attributed) What’s the one thing everyone knows about capitalism? Why, that it started out as a mean, nasty tool of greedy industrialists, of course. “The Industrial Revolution,” we all learned, was a terrible Moloch that devoured children, put profits before people, and, though it made great fortunes (or, perhaps, partly because it made great fortunes), was a wicked development. The Industrial Revolution, we’ve all been taught, was the original sin of capitalism, necessary, perhaps, to prime the engine of economic progress, but lamentable nevertheless.
