A little bit of depth to what SecDef revealed at the end of the week…
Following a Pro Publica report that Microsoft was using engineers in China to help maintain cloud computing systems for the U.S. Department of Defense, the company said it’s made changes to ensure this will no longer happen.
The existing system reportedly relied on “digital escorts” to supervise the China-based engineers. But according to Pro Publica, those escorts — U.S. citizens with security clearances — sometimes lacked the technical expertise to properly monitor the engineers.
In response to the report, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wrote on X, “Foreign engineers — from any country, including of course China — should NEVER be allowed to maintain or access DoD systems.”
On Friday, Microsoft’s chief communications officer Frank X. Shaw responded: “In response to concerns raised earlier this week about US-supervised foreign engineers, Microsoft has made changes to our support for US Government customers to assure that no China-based engineering teams are providing technical assistance for DoD Government cloud and related services.”
I’m guessing that Shaw doesn’t understand what SecDef said…engineers…from ANY country…should NEVER be allowed – NOT just those in China.
Let’s hope!
I renember a meme that showed a wide-awake and terrified geek in bed with his wife.
Caption: “It’s 2:00 in the morning. Do you know where your DATA is?”
Fact is, “the cloud” makes it very easy to have no idea where it is. (Or: where ELSE it might be.) Nor who, in those often very-distant data centers, has access to it and perhaps also the ability to tamper with it. “Out of sight, out of mind.”
And that “less expensive” foreign contractor. “What could possibly go wrong?” 😑
PDJT counterattacking Council On Foreign Relations managed CIA run Operation Mockingbird’s fake news media.
Fake letter, fake news!
Make them pay up, Mr. President. Make stupid pay bigly.
President Trump spokesman just DIRECTLY called out “Barack Hussein Obama” for orchestrating what has been described by DNI Tulsi Gabbard as the TREASONOUS CONSPIRACY against Trump following the 2016 election: Trump-Russia.
“OBAMA’S hands are on this and what is he doing now? Over here with his wife doing a podcast, walking with flipflops on the beach…it was the most CORRUPT presidency we’ve ever seen…now we know who was behind it all. It was Barack Hussein Obama and we need an answers,” Harrison Fields said
“We have a DNI, Department of Justice and Pam Bondi, who’s going to look into this and will hold people accountable.”…

Like Watermelon & Cheesecake, too much is never enough.
That Donald Trump pic is so clueless he don’t ya’ll know cheese should be on those burgers… Schmuck schummer could teach ya’ll a thing or none.
In light of this past week, I would like to post my two cents about the way forward. I believe that Trump’s first priority after FJB was to get the economy moving again. Now that BBB has passed, 90% of those problems are fixed.
His next priority has to be replacing disloyal government employees and prosecuting federal employees who broke the law. If he (Trump) doesn’t do this, in 2028 we run the danger of this respite becoming a blip in the radar and a utopian, statist, collectivist like FJB, or his handlers with the autopen, undoing all of this winning on Day 1! Much like FLB did.
Winning every day, let’s keep winning after this term end!

Per the article, Colberts’ show losing $40 million a year and it won’t be axed until 2026?! Where are the shareholders on this one?

3 Democrat-led states have rolled back Medicaid access for people lacking permanent legal status
Excerpt:
In Illinois, adult immigrants ages 42-64 without legal status have lost their health care to save an estimated $404 million. All adult immigrants in Minnesota no longer have access to the state program, saving nearly $57 million. In California, no one will automatically lose coverage, but new enrollments for adults will stop in 2026 to save more than $3 billion over several years.

I firmly believe this is another way the president will get them to self deport.
