it's not like it's a national craze in russia. it's not a national craze anywhere. this is kind of an obscure thing. there are 200 ranked couples in the world who do this in total. when it comes to russia trying to decide what they're spending taxpayer money on, it's not like they're rolling in dough. and there was an article on putin's election and at home. before the sanctions and drop in oil prices per capita gdp in russia was $15,500 per year per person, 2013. it has since declined to about $9,000 per person per year, only over the span of four years. russia's economy is in the tank and the tank is empty. their living standards are not great and getting worse. russia that a tiny economy for a country of that size. their tiny economyshrinking. you know what, with the government they've got not much hope things will turn around for them. when things are that corrupt and the criminal core is at the top it's hard to grow your country a diversified stable economy. but great for their kids and niche sports interests. his daughter the boogie-woogie dancer, she was appa

flynn being fired as national security advisor after 24 days on the job, another deputy national securityiser position getting unfilled as soon as it got filled. there was also last week's reporting that two national security staffers were involved in the sharing of classified intelligence reports with the house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes shared those reports reportedly on the white house grounds in the middle of the night for reasons that still haven't been explained and that the white house is only partially copped to but not really. one of the staffers has been named at 30 year old ezra cohen watt nick. he was elevated to a fancy job, senior director for intelligence at the national security council while michael flynn was still there. i have to tell you, we have now reviewed the resumes of what we believe to be the nine people who held that job prior to ezra cohen watt nick getting it in this administration. we have found that none of the prior people who held that job had fewer than 12 years intelligence and military experience. ezra cohen watt nick only graduated fr

this was a nation to nation attack. two weeks before the inauguration this year, president-elect trump met with the intelligence community for a briefing on the russian scandal, on the russian attack on the election. remember at the time he was repeatedly insisting that there was no russian attack whatsoever on the election. he kept saying that. and so once he was president-elect, the intelligence agencies asked if they could please brief him on their evidence to show him in fact the attack had taken place. almost immediately after that briefing he issue a statement saying these professionals wanted to brief him to tell him the operation has no effect on the outcome of the election. that is not what they told him. that was not true. the intelligence professionals did not tell him that, and that was not the purpose of the briefing. in fact, they've said publicly that they don't know what the impact was of the russian attack on the outcome of the elections. the week after had he put out that ridiculous statement, the foll

states as a single nation. as such, preserving the union gave the appearance of nationalism. by answering lincoln's call, northerners chose to emphasize the same rights that southerners did in leaving the union. only they used it to cooperate with lincoln. in doing so, they placed nation above state and realized -- and relied on the union for national authority. that was an alliance between lincoln and the governors and it reinforced the union. but it did not mean that they lessened their commitment to local government. on the contrary. they kept popular sovereignty alive and pitted agrarian and industrial resistance against each other. lincoln understood the fusion of state politics and nationalist ideology and state governors compromised union. national and state levels navigated the shoals of nationally sure in and conscription. when lincoln expanded his aims to assist governors in maintaining support for the war, it tested popular sovereignty's limits. the secretary of the navy addicted as much early in the

that's why it's in our national security interests. that's why it should matter to all americans, as well. this is important for us as a people because it goes to the core of who we are, but it's also in our national security interests, and we can't ignore it. we also can't ignore the countries that made this possible. if you are a country led by vladimir putin like russia is, who is going before the world and saying this was the rebels, this wasn't the regime, that's absurd. that is fake news at its highest. it's grotesque that they could say it with a straight face is even more troubling. this would never have been possible had they not had the cover that vladimir putin has given assad. and it leads to this question, anyone who supports bashar al assad in doing these sorts of things and tries to cover for him on the international stage and actually votes to international organisms to protect him from sanction, they are at minimum accomplices in war crimes, which is why i reiterate my belief that vladimir putin is a war criminal, who

the cyber security of our nation is the most important and urgent issue in our nation and needs to be addressed by the white house in the future, but let's start at the beginning. what happens in a cyber attack? there are many different problems and techniques used for very specific purposes. some are even a simple as sending messages via text, phone, email, or social media. while this involves simple technology embedded with viruses when you clicked on them, establishing them have become hard to detect as technology is -- has advanced, but this is not the only way hackers get information. techniques have been developed to destroy firewalls and rob governments. this is called a denial of service attack. the system is overwhelmed, causing it to break down or become temporarily unavailable, which means the weaker a computer firewall is, the less number of attacks it takes to overwhelm the software and breakdown. a distributor denial of service is the same on a much larger scale. it usually requires hundreds of thousands of computers sending request to multiple computers, causing the sam
