Iran-linked group tried to hack U.S. 2020 presidential campaigns, Microsoft says


The hack targeted email addresses belonging to U.S. presidential campaigns, government officials and journalists, according to new data unveiled by Microsoft. Microsoft linked the hack to the Iranian government and said more than 2,700 attempts were made to identify email addresses that belonged to the company's customers over a 30-day period between August and September. Four of those addresses were compromised, none of which belonged to presidential campaigns or government officials, according to the tech giant.

Somebody's hacked ours.

Look at the choices that we have?

Somebody kidnapped our potential leaders and left these foundlings here in a basket on our doorstep.

Why the Democratic polls are suspect. . .

In most states, you have to be registered as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. That means that a goodly number of the people who say they favor the more hard-left candidates, like Sanders or Warren, are likely to show up at the polls on primary day and not be able to vote. It favors the moderates, in the race, Biden and Buttigieg, because their supporters are more likely to be "party" Democrats who already know the rules.

POOR STUPID CLIFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


He does not understand the issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


Selfish greed and bigotry and bankruptcy - both moral and physical.....................................


are THE ONLY REAL OFFERINGS OF LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Consider this Wynne-bag LIE-beral health MESS..................



that Ford govt is struggling to FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!








Isn`t it nice that our LIE-beral overlords are spending OUR money on a series of costly commercials telling us what a great job they are doing with our medical system-but they cannot FIX crap like that described below-presented along with some comments of my own in brackets):

First his leg was amputated, then CCAC cut off his therapy.


(The REALLY FRIGHTENING THING about this report is that thanks to grossly self serving LIE-beral privacy laws- we will never know if this is a lone case or the tip of a LARGE ICE BERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Paul Pelletier had part of his leg amputated earlier this year. He's been recuperating with the use of a vaccum pump that keeps the wound dry and clean. It comes from the CCAC, who had a 10-week limit on the use of the pump. They want it back, but his surgeon says he needs it to recuperate or may have to be re-hospitalized or have more of his leg cut off.

OTTAWA - It’s been a tough year for Paul Pelletier, scarred by scalpels, then the system.

The 51-year-old truck mechanic had his right foot — then part of his lower leg — amputated in two stages in March from the effects of diabetes. He returned to hospital in August, and in September had two further operations on the wound, just below his knee.

To help with healing, he was sent home with a special device, called a vacuum-assisted wound closure system. It consists of a special sponge inserted in the wound cavity, then connected to a drainage hose. The whole area is sealed, kept clean and drained by means of negative pressure created by a device worn around the neck.

“It’s a magic thing man,” the Carleton Place resident said Thursday.

To help with wound care, he was visited every second day by a nurse arranged through the Community Care Access Centre, the network of home care providers that serves all of Ontario.

Then came the shock.

Just as the healing was progressing nicely, the CCAC has demanded its “VAC unit” back because there is a 10-week limit. He could keep using it, sure, but it would cost $90 a day, or $2,700 a month, for a man on a monthly disability of $1,100. Otherwise, he was cut off.

“It scares me,” Pelletier said. “I believe it is a big part of the healing of it all. I’d hate to see a setback for another six months.”

Pelletier and his sister tried to reason with the CCAC, even enlisting the support of his Ottawa Hospital surgeon at the 11th hour.

“I feel that discontinuation of the VAC dressing will jeopardize all the hard work gone on to this point to salvage his below knee amputation,” the surgeon wrote in a Nov. 30 email.

“We would like to request an extension of his VAC therapy to avoid the need to readmit him to the hospital for continued appropriate wound care and to reduce the risk that he will be required to be converted to an above knee amputation.”

Some of the words were underlined and in bold type.

(Yeah-its $2700.00 to rent the machine for another month-and HOW MUCH to re-admit the guy to hospital and saw off more of his leg? With the added bonus that IF they save most of his leg he may be able to walk better and return to work-but if they saw most of it off he becomes a permanent ward of the state because he is crippled? Just WHO is running our medical system? Doctors with best patient outcomes in mind? Or LIE-beral friendly union Hogs who want their endless list of entitlements filled- at the expense of patients and the general public?)

The CCAC was unmoved. A care co-ordinator thanked the doctor for his email and reiterated that the unit would be removed Dec. 5. “I understand your concern related to this client and appreciate your follow up. At this time, CCAC is not able to extend the provision of (the unit) past 10 weeks,” the reply continued, “and we kindly ask that you provide updated conventional dressing orders.”

The surgeon replied within minutes, a seven-word answer that could not be mistaken in meaning or directness: “My orders are for continued VAC therapy.”

Still, CCAC didn’t bend.

At the urging of a hospital official, Pelletier appealed to area MPP Randy Hillier, not a step the mechanic is used to taking. “I’ve never called an MP in my life.”

Hillier, who detests over-regulation in government, immediately got on the phone and wrote to Health Minister Eric Hoskins.

(Regulation is one thing-govt MUST have control over operations and finance-but tight ass regulations that DAMAGE a patient that would otherwise recover more fully and faster and at less public cost is brain dead LIE-beral bullshit!)

“Minister, I find this alarming for a number of reasons. First, I find it unorthodox that the CCAC would have the authority to enforce a quota or limitation to services over the wishes of a physician; secondly, that a patient’s well-being and recovery would be hindered and possibly hampered by limitations on access to a comparatively inexpensive piece of medical equipment.”

(Any idiot-except a LIE-beral can see it’s a LOT CHEAPER to loan the guy the machine than to return him to hospital for more surgery!)

Pelletier said he was told there are 23 patients on a waiting list for a VAC unit, which he uses 24 hours a day.

(In other words-LIE-berals are AGAIN spending OUR money on THEIR gravy INSTEAD of on needed medical machinery-AND buying those commercials to BOAST and LIE-beral about it!)

Of the 23, he is sympathetic. But his great worry is that if the wound does not heal properly, he’ll need a further amputation above the knee, affecting his mobility for the rest of his life. His hope is that he can be fitted with a prosthetic in the spring and return to the trucking industry soon after. “I just want to get back to work.”

Pelletier estimates he needs the unit for another three or four weeks. The wound is largely healed but still has a small open section.

It’s been quite a saga. Diagnosed with diabetes at age 31, he lost a couple of toes about five years ago, then endured a long period of hobbling until his foot became too diseased. (Diabetes can lead to nerve damage and restricted circulation, especially in the extremities, and even minor injuries can turn into difficult-to-treat ulcers. Pelletier suspects a foot injury about six years ago triggered his problems.)

Pelletier is meeting with his surgeon Friday. They will deal with his wound, of course. Who fixes this broken system?

(Looks like Doug Ford will have a chance to cure our health care! IF ONLY he can fight off GREEDY civil service union Hogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I rather suspect that Sanders's medical problems will primarily benefit Warren, who is closest to Sanders in positions. Supporters who decide Sanders is too old and weak to be President will tend to gravitate to Warren.

Similarly, if the more centrist Biden actually does take any serious hits out of all the BS floating around, I suspect the primary beneficiary will be Buttigieg, the other centrist.

So you think Biden and son are clean as whistles ?

Likely.

Trump has never told the truth about anything in his life, it would seem.
Did you watch the tape of Biden bragging about withholding aid to Ukraine until the prosecutor of the company his son Hunter was a board member of was fired ? Admitted and bragged about , now that was surely Trumps doing .

Holding Ukraine hostage: How the president and his allies, chasing 2020 ammunition, fanned a political storm


As the U.S. relationship with Ukraine unraveled, Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, stepped forward to assert that he was now in charge of the U.S.-Ukraine relationship.

Recently released text messages between Sondland and other U.S. officials give a glimpse of a pervasive divide between uneasy career national security officials and political appointees who became complicit in the president��s use of American influence to advance his electoral interests.

or a Kim like dictatorship. ( they are getting closer as trump gets crazier and works over time to protect his power and position.)

Trump will not leave the oval office quietly ........let alone politely.

wait:......the word "polite" does not belong in the same sentence as Donald Trump
