just gotta say these Dems don’t understand karma, the karma is a bitch, life is sacred except to those with evil intent. I absolutely hate seeing the destruction of all culture, family, religion….meanwhile Muslims and most mid-east countries ban abortion, the great evil plan unfolds daily. Not only is karma a bitch but the judgement of God, the Universe whatever you want to call it, is worse than karma

WTF is negotiating in behalf of military housing, whoever the are, needs to be fired!

Air Force landlord falsified records to boost income, documents show

One of the U.S. military’s largest private-industry landlords falsified maintenance records, Reuters found, helping it secure incentive fees as families awaited repairs. The company’s actions, a former employee said, were akin to “bank robbery at a corporate level.”

TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Oklahoma – When Paige and Nick Ippolito moved to a row house on this air base in 2015, the floors in the kitchen, living room and hallway were warped. They told the base’s landlord, Balfour Beatty Communities, but “nothing was done,” a company maintenance report shows.

Nick, a Navy petty officer second class stationed at Tinker, worried their baby daughter might lose a finger in the jagged flooring. After a water leak further broke up the floor, a company technician noted in a maintenance log that the eight-month-old “may become sick from chewing on pieces” breaking away from the flooring.

AP Investigation: Many US jails fail to stop inmate suicides

By SHARON COHEN and NORA ECKERT

June 18, 2019

The last time Tanna Jo Fillmore talked with her mother, she was in a Utah jail, angry, pleading and desperate. She’d called every day that past week, begging for help.

I need my medicine, she demanded.

I have to get out of here! she screamed.

Fillmore was in the Duchesne County Jail on a charge of violating probation in a drug case; she had reportedly failed to report a change of address. At 25, she’d struggled with mental illness for years, but Xanax and hyperactivity medication had stabilized her. Now, she told her mother, the jail’s nurse was denying her those pills — and she couldn’t take it any longer.

That November day, she phoned her mother, Melany Zoumadakis, three times over an hour. In their final conversation, Fillmore’s voice was raw with rage. She blamed her mom, a nurse herself, for not doing more. She threatened to kill herself, warning that if she did: ”‘You’re going to be the worst mother in the world.’” Then she hung up.

Zoumadakis called her daughter’s probation officer and told him she feared her daughter would die in jail, but he assured her Fillmore was being monitored.

The next day, Thanksgiving 2016, Fillmore’s sister, Calley Clark, received a Facebook message. “I’m so sorry,” a friend wrote. Then another note arrived: “Please tell me it isn’t true.” In Texas for the holiday, Clark had an uneasy feeling and asked her boyfriend to call the jail. He returned with the news.

Potent pot, vulnerable teens trigger concerns in first states to legalize marijuana

DENVER — The first two states to legalize recreational marijuana are starting to grapple with teenagers’ growing use of highly potent pot, even as both boost the industry and reap huge tax windfalls from its sales.

Though the legal purchase age is 21 in Colorado and Washington, parents, educators and physicians say youths are easily getting hold of edibles infused with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive component that causes a high, and concentrates such as “shatter,” a brittle, honey-colored substance that is heated and then inhaled through a special device.

Each poses serious risks to adolescents’ physical and mental health.

“Underage kids have unbelievable access to nuclear-strength weed,” said Andrew Brandt, a Boulder, Colo., software executive whose son got hooked while in high school.

With some marijuana products averaging 68 percent THC — exponentially greater than the pot baby boomers once smoked — calls to poison control centers and visits to emergency rooms have risen. In the Denver area, visits to Children’s Hospital Colorado facilities for treatment of cyclic vomiting, paranoia, psychosis and other acute cannabis-related symptoms jumped to 777 in 2015, from 161 in 2005.

The increase was most notable in the years following legalization of medical sales in 2009 and retail use in 2014, according to a study in the Journal of Adolescent Health published in 2018.

“Horrible things are happening to kids,” said psychiatrist Libby Stuyt, who treats teens in southwestern Colorado and has studied the health impacts of high-potency marijuana. “I see increased problems with psychosis, with addiction, with suicide, with depression and anxiety.”

It is unclear whether all of this means years of generally stagnant pot use among children are coming to an end. Surveys finding little change with pot since 2014 “may not reliably reflect the impact of legalization on adolescent health,” the authors of that 2018 study concluded.

Washington’s latest Healthy Youth Surveyshowed 20 percent of eighth-graders and nearly half of seniors “perceive little risk of regular marijuana use.” Many teens consider it less risky than alcohol or cigarettes.

As more than a dozen states from Hawaii to New Hampshire consider legalizing marijuana, doctors warn of an urgent need for better education — not just of teens but of parents and lawmakers — about how the products being marketed can significantly affect young people’s brain development.

There's a Treasure Chest Worth Millions Hidden Somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. These Searchers Are Dedicating Their Lives and Savings to Finding It

Seriously Autists and Anons, if we can’t find this pot of gold without trekking through the Rocky Mountains, we are worthless. I don’t have the skill sets that y’all do, but I know we/you can do it! Either get that pot of gold for yourself or for the movement, or for other anons struggling

When Cynthia Meachum lost her job in 2015, it was the best day of her life. To hear the 65-year-old tell it, she got the bad news, waved off her boss’s apologies and nearly skipped away.

“I wanted to do cartwheels,” she says.

Meachum had been close to retiring from her gig as a field service engineer in the semiconductor industry anyway. Getting laid off meant she could fully throw herself into her true passion: finding Forrest Fenn’s hidden treasure, worth millions.

She already had the “war room,” a converted library in her Rio Rancho, New Mexico, home where the walls are papered with giant maps of Yellowstone National Park and nearby forests. She had the resources, including manuals on fly fishing in Montana, the domain chasingfennstreasure.com, and connections to an international community of searchers….

For Fenn treasure hunters like Meachum, the search is no myth. It requires real commitment, and perhaps more importantly, it requires real money. From hiking boots to hotel rooms, the costs can add up quickly. Meachum recently calculated that she spent more than $10,000 on the chase last year alone — to her, a small price to pay for an “incredible adventure” that’s still unfolding.

Most searchers make the hunt part of their lifestyle, saving for and planning around it like with Meachum and her job. But for some, the hunt becomes an expensive obsession.

“That damn poem that Forrest wrote gets in your blood and in your head,” Meachum says. “The problem is, you don’t know if you’ve solved it until you’ve found the treasure. That’s what keeps us in the game.”

In 1988, Forrest Fenn thought he was going to die. The Air Force veteran-turned-fine art collector had been diagnosed with kidney cancer, and doctors told him he faced “an uphill battle” to survive.

One night, as he lay awake in bed contemplating this imminent fate, Fenn began thinking about how much he’d loved assembling his art and artifacts collection over the years. Then, in what he’d later write was “a perfect match of mind and moment,” an idea struck: “Why not let others come searching for some of it while I’m still here, and maybe continue looking for it after I’m gone?”

So Fenn “paid way too much” to buy a cast bronze chest and transformed it into what he described as an “opulent cache.”

He piled in gold coins, placer nuggets from Alaska, pre-Columbian animal figures and Chinese jade faces. In went a 17th-century emerald ring from Spain, several small diamonds and a silver bracelet encrusted with 22 turquoise disc beads. And for good measure, included was a 20,000-word autobiography, sealed in a jar and written in font so small the finder will need a magnifying glass to read it.

And then he lived.

According to legend, it wasn’t until about 2010 — he won’t say exactly when — that Fenn took action, driving into the mountains, hiking an indeterminate distance and leaving the chest in a secret spot. He also self-published a book, The Thrill of the Chase. In it, he coded nine clues about the treasure’s location into a 24-line poem about “the home of Brown,” “the blaze” and “where warm waters halt.”

The search really took off in 2013, when Fenn appeared on the TODAY Show to generate buzz. Collected Works, an independent bookstore that handles all official sales of The Thrill of the Chase, reportedly saw sales spike from 25 copies per month to 25 copies per minute.

By 2018, an estimated 350,000 people had searched for the chest, which is estimated to be worth up to $5 million. Most, but not all, reject any notion that it’s a hoax.

Today, the hunt is so popular partially because there’s such a low barrier to entry. People don’t even have to buy Fenn’s book to participate — the poem can easily be found online for free. Once they’ve solved the riddle, all they need is a quick boots-on-the-ground trip, colloquially called a “BOTG,” to pick up the chest….

Hacked documents reveal sensitive details of expanding border surveillance

Far more information was taken in the hack of a Customs and Border Protection contractor than U.S. officials have acknowledged

The recent cyberattack on a U.S. Customs and Border Protection subcontractor didn’t expose just the faces and license plates of thousands of U.S. travelers. It also revealed the inner workings of a complex surveillance network that border authorities have long sought to keep secret.

CBP officials have downplayed the significance of the material taken in the hack, saying only that fewer than 100,000 photos of travelers had been compromised and that none of those had been posted to the “dark Web,” the corner of the Internet where stolen documents are often traded and displayed.

That assessment, however, woefully understates the number of sensitive documents that are now freely available on the Web — so much material, totaling hundreds of gigabytes, that The Washington Post required several days of computer time to capture it all.

The documents offer an unusually intimate glimpse of the machinery that U.S. officials depend on for the constant monitoring of legal immigration through the border. They also illuminate the government’s plans for expanding its use of license plate readers and facial-recognition cameras, including such details as how many cameras are focused on which traffic lanes at some of the busiest border crossings in the world.

The hoard of hacked documents includes detailed schematics, confidential agreements, equipment lists, budget spreadsheets, internal photos and hardware blueprints for security systems.

Among potentially sensitive government material are internal Department of Homeland Security handbooks, border surveillance diagrams and dozens of signed nondisclosure agreements between the subcontractor and government authorities, as well as companies such as Microsoft and the defense-contracting giant Northrop Grumman. Microsoft and Northrop Grumman did not respond to requests for comment.

The files also offer extensive detail on — and, in some cases, a literal road map to — equipment that has been installed at U.S. military bases and the United States’ most highly trafficked border gateways.

“This is red meat for their competitors . . . [and] a whole set of domestic and foreign terrorists and criminals who might want to use that information,” said Joseph Lorenzo Hall, chief technologist at the Center for Democracy & Technology, a Washington think tank.

“This is a pretty stark view into one of the cogs of the U.S. surveillance state,” he said, adding that federal authorities “may have to change some of that operational stuff pretty quickly before people take advantage.”

[U.S. Customs and Border Protection says photos of travelers were taken in a data breach]

Taken as a whole, the documents provide a rare look into the U.S. government’s dependence on a cluster of little-known private contractors to martial its efforts to monitor who enters and leaves the United States.

The firm whose computer systems appear to have been breached, Perceptics, is an obscure presence in the world of federal contracting: a 40-year-old company based in a strip mall in Farragut, Tenn., a Knoxville suburb, that many privacy advocates say they had never heard of until recently. But its technology, the documents show, helps form the core of a security engine that has photographed virtually every car and truck crossing the border over the past decade in a process for which there is little public oversight.

Hackers posted the cache of documents onto the dark Web, where files are hidden from search engines and accessible only through special software, such as the Tor browser, that allow for enhanced encryption and user anonymity

You know what pisses me off about this article, not only are Americans being tracked etc., but their highly paid by the government contractors, cannot secure their own F’ing computers, or hide any data. The cloud has serious repercussions and this is just one example. How lazy are these multi billion dollars paid companies? Extremely lazy and careless!

It wouldn’t surprise me if the companies involved, intentionally left a back door open to get more highly lucrative contracts to replace all existing strategies!

Another note, lobbying to congress and senate has to stop, this is just a side effect of lobbying

POTUS and Q team, if you don’t know about this, I’m bringing this to your attention. Someone in your admin is doing shady shit, and hurting the poor in opportunity zones

One Trump Tax Cut Was Meant to Help the Poor. A Billionaire Ended Up Winning Big.

Opportunity zones are meant to spur new investment in poor areas. But Under Armour’s Kevin Plank is getting a tax break for investments that are not new and not in a poor tract. And Plank’s area was picked over neighborhoods that are actually poor.

by Jeff Ernsthausen and Justin Elliott June 19, 4 a.m. EDT

Stay up to date with email updates about WNYC and ProPublica’s investigations into the president’s business practices.

Under a six-lane span of freeway leading into downtown Baltimore sit what may be the most valuable parking spaces in America.

Lying near a development project controlled by Under Armour’s billionaire CEO Kevin Plank, one of Maryland’s richest men, and Goldman Sachs, the little sliver of land will allow Plank and the other investors to claim what could amount to millions in tax breaks for the project, known as Port Covington.

They have President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax overhaul law to thank. The new law has a provision meant to spur investment into underdeveloped areas, called “opportunity zones.” The idea is to grant lucrative tax breaks to encourage new investment in poor areas around the country, carefully selected by each state’s governor.

But Port Covington, an ambitious development geared to millennials to feature offices, a hotel, apartments, and shopping, is not in a census tract that is poor. It’s not a new investment. And the census tract only became eligible to be an opportunity zone thanks to a mapping error

As the selection process was underway, a deputy chief of staff to Maryland’s governor wrote in an email that “Port Covington does not qualify” as an opportunity zone.

Maryland’s governor chose the area for the program anyway — after his aides met with the lobbyists for Plank, who owns about 40% of the zone.

“This is a classic example of a windfall benefit,” said Robert Stoker, a George Washington University professor who has studied economic development in Baltimore for decades. “A major investment was already planned and now is in a zone where they are going to qualify for all kinds of beneficial tax treatment.”

In selecting Port Covington, the governor had to exclude another Maryland community from the opportunity zone program. In Baltimore, for example, the governor dropped part of a neighborhood that city officials recommended for the program — Brooklyn — with a median family income one-fifth that of Port Covington. Brooklyn sits just across the Patapsco river from Port Covington, in an area that suffers from one of the highest drug and alcohol death rates in Baltimore, which in turn has one of the highest drug fatality rates nationwide….
