Faster...
The Media is obsessed with sex stories. Who touched who, and when? It turn out that many are thought of as respected journalist members of the Media.

Simulator...
New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas are among scores of police departments across the country quietly using a highly secretive technology developed for the military that can track the whereabouts of suspects by using the signals constantly emitted by their cellphones.
Civil liberties and privacy groups are increasingly raising objections to the suitcase-sized devices known as StingRays or cell site simulators that can sweep up cellphone data from an entire neighborhood by mimicking cell towers.
Police can determine the location of a phone. Some versions of the technology can intercept texts and calls, or pull information stored on the phones.
In New York, use of the technology was virtually unknown to the public until last year when the New York Civil Liberties Union forced the disclosure of records showing the NYPD used the devices more than 1,000 times since 2008. That included cases in which the technology helped catch suspects in kidnappings, rapes, robberies, assaults and murders. It has even helped find missing people.
So, what is the problem?

Freedom...*
On January 6, 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered a speech before Congress, articulating his vision for a postwar world founded on four basic human freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
So remember those who don't have as much as you do. You have been lucky.
Happy Thanksgiving

Selfies...
Republican Rep. Joe Barton of Texas is apologizing for a graphic image of himself that emerged on social media this week, confirming he took the picture and sent it to women with whom he was pursuing relationships.
"While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women," Barton, 68, admitted in a written statement. "Each was consensual.
Those relationships have ended. I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down," the statement added. "This woman admitted that we had a consensual relationship," Barton said.
"When I ended that relationship, she threatened to publicly share my private photographs and intimate correspondence in retaliation."
Something is fishy here.

Cat Woman...

A woman accused of mailing potentially deadly homemade bombs to President Obama and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in 2016 was arrested, in part, due to cat hair, a cigarette box and an almost-destroyed shipping label bearing her address.
Julia Poff, 46, mailed the devices in October 2016, along with a third package that she sent to the Social Security Administration according to an indictment.
Investigators traced Poff to the package sent to Obama because of cat hair found under an address label. An FBI crime lab compared the hair to some from two of Poff’s cats and found it “microscopically consistent” with the hair of one of those animals.

A grand jury indicted her this month on six counts, including mailing injurious articles and transporting explosives with the intent to kill and injure.
At the hearing, a federal agent testified that Poff was angry with Abbott because she did not receive support from her ex-husband. Poff’s application for social security benefits was denied.
