Do Be Like The Hummingbird and Leave Your Smartphone Behind

by

From Vice, “Your Phone Is Listening and it’s Not Paranoia.”

It seemed like just a spooky coincidence, but then everyone seems to have a story about their smartphone listening to them. So is this just paranoia, or are our smartphones actually listening?

According to Dr. Peter Henway—The senior security consultant for cybersecurity firm Asterix, and former lecturer and researcher at Edith Cowan University—the short answer is yes, but perhaps in a way that’s not as diabolical as it sounds.

Trump – “I’ll Know Within a Minute If Kim’s Hair Is Real….”

by

Actually, according the the Daily Caller, Trump  “[WILL] KNOW WITHIN ONE MINUTE IF KIM JONG UN IS JERKING ME AROUND.”

President Donald Trump said Saturday he would know almost immediately whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is serious about negotiating during the planned summit Tuesday in Singapore.

Just my touch, my feel. That’s what I do. How long will it take to figure out whether or not they’re serious, I said maybe in the first minute. You know, the way they say you know if you’re going to like somebody in the first five seconds. Did you ever hear that one? Well, I think that very quickly I’ll know whether or not something good is going to happen.

Facebook’s Peeping ‘Zucks’

by

For anyone who watched Mark Zuckerberg’s Congressional Hearing appearances, it’s clear that Mark is clearly, well…. different.  But this latest, Mr. Zuckerberg?  Jeez!!  The Forbes headline says it all, “Facebook Wants Your Nude Photos; What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”

In a bid to wrap up the race for the Tin Ear of the Year Award before June 1, Facebook has begun asking its 2.2 billion users to discreetly share their indiscreet nude photos with the company. The plan, they say, is to train Facebook to block the images you don’t ever want on Facebook, in cases such as revenge porn.

Gavin Newsom Opens His Arms (and California’s) To MS 13

by

As reported in Breitbart, “California Lieutenant Governor and gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump is like a slave owner and Nazi for referring to MS-13 illegal immigrant gangsters as “animals.” He also added that Trump’s “hateful rhetoric” can lead to “hate crimes” and “genocides”

Perhaps the rest of us should give Mr. Newsom the opportunity to “practice his preaching” and offer any MS 13 gang member interdicted in any of the other continental 47 States a choice: A) Go to jail and then be deported, or B) Accept a Bus Ticket to California and $300 Bucks for munchies and pot to help get settled in to Mr. Newsom’s Neighborhood.
