Trumping Democrats: President Promises to Release Transcript of First Call to Zelensky
[image: trumping-democrats-president-promises-to-release-transcript-of-first-call-to-zelinsky] Democrats are scrambling. Having leveraged (read: gambled) what little political capital and credibility they still have on the risky business of impeaching a president they seem to know they can’t beat, they are grasping at straws to hold the narrative together — grasping and failing. With President Trump announcing Tuesday that he plans to release the transcript of his *first* call to the president of Ukraine “before week’s end,” it appears the grasping and failing of Democrats will cont... more »
DOJ lawyer scam & Silicon Valley security scam intersect
4-17-19 * Fortinet* this week agreed to pay the US government $545,000 to settle claims it allowed employees to peddle Chinese-made gear that would eventually end up being illegally supplied to federal agencies. The Silicon Valley-based security house coughed up the cash after the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleged the vendor's sales staff had provided some of its resellers Chinese hardware disguised as having originated in other countries.

Will Trump Prove to be His Own Worst Enemy During Impeachment?
*Hunter DeRensis* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Both Attorney General William Barr and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have refused to say publicly that there was nothing unethical about Trump’s request to Zelensky to investigate the Biden family.

Worst of the Worst: These 5 Guns Are Clearly the Worst Ever
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * And it's not even close. *Key Point:* Not all guns are built the same or have anywhere near the same capabilities. Handheld firearms have existed in one form or another since the 13th century. Despite their long history, there have been relatively few real, genuine clunkers in the world of handguns. The close engagement range of handguns—typically zero to twenty-five feet—means that a handgun operator will often have little or no chance to clear a jammed weapon, and therefore complete, absolute, unqualified reliability is a must. Nevertheless, some... more »
