Hundreds of Jordanian political, legal and other figures signed an open letter last week calling for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Jordan in a rare public challenge to the government, which has long cracked down on free speech and dissent.

In recent weeks, Iranian missiles and drones have increasingly targeted U.S. military forces and installations in Jordan, including early Wednesday, Iranian officials said. The attacks have repeatedly set off sirens across the kingdom and pulled the country further into a war it wanted no part of. But most Jordanians have remained silent.

People who signed the letter said they were driven by a sense of national responsibility and concern that the troop presence endangered Jordanian sovereignty.

“We maintain that their presence exposes Jordan to security, political, and economic risks that serve no national interest and increases the likelihood of our country being dragged into a regional conflict to which it is not a party,” the letter said.

Bro used our military to steal resources in another country. Put that money in an offshore bank account and now that money is gone.

WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger military attack because our stockpile has been depleted?

MIKE WALTZ: We have to take a step back here. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden.

WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted?

WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail.

A man clapped once during public comment at a data-center zoning meeting in Emporia, Kansas.

They arrested him.

Remember... no dissent allowed!

Just be silent like an obedient domesticated taxpayer while they fast‑track a data center in your backyard.

In 2015 Lenovo shipped laptops with software that broke HTTPS for every user.

Installed deliberately for ad revenue.

Lenovo pre-installed a piece of adware called Superfish on consumer laptops starting September 2014. Its purpose was to scan every image you view on the internet and inject ads for similar products.

To do that on HTTPS pages, it needed to intercept your encrypted traffic.

So it did something catastrophic.

it installed itself as a trusted root certificate authority on your laptop. Meaning your browser treated Superfish as a trusted source of certificates, the same level of trust as VeriSign, DigiCert, or your bank's own certificate authority.

Everything you did over HTTPS- banking, email. shopping. medical records was being decrypted by Superfish, analyzed for images, and re-encrypted before it reached you.

then it got worse.

Every Lenovo laptop shipped with the exact same certificate and the exact same private key.

The password protecting that private key was cracked in three hours by Security researcher, Rob Graham (Errata Security).

The password was "komodia."

The name of the Israeli company that made the code.

Once cracked, anyone with that private key could impersonate any website to any Lenovo user on earth. your bank. your email. any HTTPS site. a fake page would show a valid padlock and your browser would trust it completely.

Lenovo's initial response: "we have thoroughly investigated this technology and do not find any evidence to substantiate security concerns."

Then the password was posted publicly online.

Lenovo paid $7.3 million to settle the class action lawsuit.

The EFF called it "catastrophically irresponsible."

Crazy stuff.

First known US case: American charged for using a “duress” password

Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta resident, is being prosecuted for allegedly giving border agents a passcode that wiped his phone.

The feature comes from GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused Android OS. Entering the duress code triggers a full factory reset.

This is believed to be the first time federal prosecutors have brought such charges.

The incident happened in January 2025 at Atlanta airport. Agents demanded access to his phone without a warrant, saying he hadn’t yet officially entered the US. When they entered the code, the phone wiped itself.

Tunick has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers argue the seizure was unlawful and that agents were investigating his activism against “Cop City.”

The case raises big questions about digital rights at the US border.

What do you think?

Deeply disturbing story. Survivors of US boat strikes allege they were kidnapped and tortured for days by the US military. The prosecutor investigating the claims was just assassinated.

The Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April."

They did say. There was reporting early on that the money from the oil is sitting in a private account in Qatar directly controlled by Trump. He literally stole the sovereign wealth of a nation for himself personally.

Sou mulher e não aceito falta de respeito.

Porém, desrespeito NÃO justifica agressão.

A pré-candidata Renata Vieira apareceu dando tapa e arremessando pedra no entregador. Se foi desrespeitada, o certo era registrar boletim e não partir pra briga física.

Violência nunca é solução, seja de homem ou de mulher.

Concorda ou discorda?
