Former NSA Contractor Indicted for Stealing Secret Files for 20 Years
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) filed official charges today against Harold Thomas Martin III, 52, of Glen Burnie, Maryland, for stealing over 50TB of documents from several US government agencies, including documents labeled as Top Secret.
Authorities arrested Martin in late August 2016, in the midst of the Shadow Brokers scandal, when an anonymous group of hackers leaked several hacking tools they claimed to have stolen from NSA servers.
Despite initial rumors that he might be the man behind the leaks, the Shadow Brokers continued to leak new documents and interact with the press as Martin sat in jail.
According to an official indictment released today, authorities haven't confirmed any connection between Martin or the Shadow Brokers, but they have painted a grim picture of the suspect's actions.
Martin stole government docs for 20 years during a 23-year career

House bill strengthens burn pit registry
The House unanimously approved a bill this week to make the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry a more useful tool for researching the health effects of toxic exposure on servicemembers and veterans.
The House passed the Burn Pit Registry Enhancement Act on Wednesday with a vote of 416-0. It would allow family members of deceased servicemembers and veterans to enter cause of death in the registry. As of now, only registered individuals are allowed to update their health information.
The change was recommended by veterans groups, including Burn Pits 360, which has expressed concerns that the registry hasn’t been used to his fullest potential.
“According to Burn Pits 360, without tracking [causes of death] … the registry’s ability to establish mortality rates related to conditions and diseases associated to toxic exposure will be precluded,” said Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
Pits were used until 2010 at U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan to burn trash, human waste, petroleum, rubber and other debris, releasing hazardous fumes into the air. Some servicemembers exposed to the smoke have attributed medical conditions, such as respiratory issues and cancer, to it.

50 Actual College Course Titles That Prove That America’s Universities Are Training Our College Students To Be Socialists
What in the world are they teaching to our young people? As you go through the list of college course titles below, I am sure that many of you will be completely shocked. Most parents assume that they are sending their children to college to get prepared for their future careers, but the truth is that a lot of our major colleges and universities have become little more than indoctrination centers for progressive thought. Our college students are literally being systematically trained to be socialists, and it is working. According to a brand new Harris Poll that was just released, 37.2 percent of all Americans “prefer living in a socialist country”. But for Millennials and Generation Z combined, that figure is 49.6 percent. That means that essentially half of our young adults want to be socialists, and that has enormous implications for the future of our society.

Trump Record: Hispanic Unemployment Rate Sets Record Low in February
How dumb do Democrats think the American voter has become? They claim President Trump hates Hispanics. Yet, thanks to his economic politics, they have historically low unemployment. Yet, the Democrats easily lie to the public and CNN and the rest of the Fake News media repeat the lie.
“The national seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos in the U.S. labor force set a record low of 4.3% in February, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released Friday show.
In February, the unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos, aged 16 and up, was 4.3%, down from 4.9% in January. February broke its record low of 4.4% set in October of 2018 and matched in December of 2018. BLS began tracking Hispanic-Latino employment data in 1973.
Isn’t it time to tell the Democrats to stop lying? At what point will the Hispanic community speak up?
