Ginther Begins to Eat His Own Words, Sort Of

Words Cyber Attack

Columbus Mayor Andy Ginther claimed stolen data from the city’s database was encrypted or corrupted and likely unusable to any criminals, along with his Deputy Chief of Staff Jennifer Fening stating, “There is no evidence of ratepayers, or the general public were exposed.” And when asked by a local television reporter if he lied earlier this week about the extent of his knowledge of the information that had been leaked, and he gave a resounding "No" when it was noticed that his nose grew about four inches.

Friday, Mayor Ginther released the following statement: “To protect the community from the recent cyber attack on the city’s IT infrastructure, the City of Columbus is providing notification and offering free Experian credit monitoring to all residents and impacted individuals. Anyone who has shared their personal information with the city or municipal court may be impacted and can sign up for two years of free Experian monitoring, which includes $1 million of protection against fraud and identity theft.”  

There Is Something Rotten in Washington

One thing you can say about the Administration of President Joe Biden is that nearly every week there is something new and exciting to discuss. Galloping dementia recently gifted us with Joe’s 11 minute abdication speech in which he announced that he would not be running for another term as president. He babbled about how he was taking the step in spite of his desire to continue.

The Darwinian, Solartopian Imperative of Kamala Harris

In bio-evolutionary terms, the ascendance of Kamala Harris is a transformative moment in human evolution. The majority of the human race is female… and other than caucasian.

A male of color has been President of the United States. A female Prime Minister of Germany, Europe’s dominant power, commanded Earth’s fourth-largest economy… and turned it away from nuclear power.

Females have led ancient China when it was already Earth’s most populous nation. A woman has recently led India, the world’s second.

A Scramble For Leadership & a Prime Minister Removed

BANGKOK, Thailand -- In a stunning decision which tosses Thailand's government into a scramble for leadership, The Constitutional Court on August removed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin for an ethical violation after he appointed a convicted criminal to his cabinet.

"I'm sorry that I'd be considered as a prime minister who is unethical, but that's not who I am," the toppled prime minister Srettha said after the court's ruling.

The judges focused on his appointment of Pichit Chuenban, who had been busted for contempt of court for allegedly attempting to bribe a court official with thousands of dollars in a paper bag, and was imprisoned for six months in 2008.

After 19 days of outrage about Mr. Pichit's appointment was expressed in local media and among opposition politicians and their supporters, he quit the cabinet.

The Constitutional Court's final verdict also resulted in Mr. Srettha's entire cabinet of ministers transforming into temporary caretakers.

The Ghost of Hubert Humphrey Is Stalking Kamala Harris

After the Democrat in the White House decided not to run for reelection, the vice president got the party’s presidential nod -- and continued to back the administration’s policies for an unpopular war. As the election neared, the candidate had to decide whether to keep supporting the war or speak out for a change.

 Hubert Humphrey faced that choice in 1968. Kamala Harris faces it now.

 Despite the differences in eras and circumstances, key dynamics are eerily similar. The history of how Vice President Humphrey navigated the political terrain of the war in Vietnam has ominous parallels with how Vice President Harris has been dealing with the war in Gaza.

 *****     *****     *****

 For millions of liberals, during the first half of the 1960s, Hubert Humphrey was the nation’s most heroic politician. As the Senate majority whip, he deftly championed landmark bills for civil rights and social programs. By the time President Lyndon B. Johnson put him on the Democratic ticket in 1964, progressive momentum was in high gear.

Restoring Fear – Why Israeli Soldiers Rape

On October 25, Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin told Arutz Sheva-Israel National News that “Muslims are not afraid of us anymore.” 

It might sound odd that Feiglin saw the element of fear as critical to Israel’s well-being if not its very survival. 

In actuality, the fear element is directly linked to Israel’s behavior and fundamental to its political discourse.
