    G Data said the spyware it found on the N9500 could allow a hacker to steal personal data, place rogue calls, or turn on the phone’s camera and microphone. G Data said the stolen information was sent to a server in China.

  3. Jason Mattera, the publisher of Daily Surge, approached Hillary Clinton at one of her book signings:
    Mattera: “If you could make it out to Christopher Stevens? I think you knew him.”
    Clinton: “Yeah, I’m not gonna make it out to Chris Stevens.”
    Mattera: “What difference does it make?”
    How rude!
    “Mattera…also noted during their exchange that Hillary’s security detail appears to be larger than what Ambassador Stevens was provided in Benghazi.”

  9. Question:
    My daughter is smacking and hurting her daughters who are 18 months and 3 years old because she is not happy and wants to be free. She went to the police to get her husband into jail for FGM (cutting of the older daughter) she does not clean the house or the kids. I have talked to her many times and can’t watch this abuse What can I do?
    Answer:
    Praise be to Allah.
    Your daughter is abusive, and the children need to be protected. You should speak to the family physician; he or she should refer her to a specialist for urgent medical attention; the children need to be kept safe and unharmed. The family physician should be able to help out in this matter.
    Allah Almighty knows best.

  12. From a comenter at The Right Scoop:

    “Not one of us” would make a good bumper sticker.
    Chilling story, that about Susan Rice — and news to me too.
    The Benedict Arnold analogy is spot on: Benedict Obama comes to mind.
    Good work from Whittle, as always.

  13. Health professionals are warning of a “humanitarian crisis” festering in Texas and Arizona as a result of unchecked border crossings of illegal-immigrant children into border communities.
    Cramped conditions and the spread of difficult-to-treat diseases has doctors worried in the wake of a massive influx of children coming across the Mexican-U.S. border, many of them from Central and South America. Outbreaks of scabies, lice, dengue fever, tuberculosis and other diseases – many of them contagious – are already being documented among the children and in some border agents who work among them.

  14. “President Obama’s non-enforcement immigration doctrine seemingly invites illegal border crossings, which brings with it a wave of illnesses and diseases that have long been stamped-out in America,” Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., told WND.

  18. Re: The Stroll
    My observation. Not one of the kids is even remotely overweight. In a similar age group today, at least half would be slightly to grossly over the norm!

  20. Of Saddam’s WMD.

    “Did Saddam Have WMDs After All: ISIS Overruns Iraq Chemical Weapons ‘Mega-Facility'”
    “With all eyes firmly focused on what really matters (the oil refineries), The Telegraph reports that ISIS has over-run a Saddam Hussein-era chemical weapons (CW) complex. The al-Muhanna ‘mega-facility’, about 60 miles south of Baghdad, gives the jihadists access to disused stores of hundreds of tonnes of potentially deadly poisons including mustard gas and sarin. The US state department is ‘concerned’ but “do not believe that the complex contains CW materials of military value.” However, as a former commander of Britain’s chemical weapons regiment warned, “we have seen that ISIS has used chemicals in explosions in Iraq before and has carried out experiments in Syria.” This is likely great for ISIS 2014 Annual Report; but, of course, the other awkward question is: does this mean Saddam did have WMDs (and ISIS found them) after all?”

  21. Fifty years elapse and then I learn of the “stroll”….. on the internet!
    Hell in 1958, most teens were learning about “life” in the back seat of a “Dodge”, “Ford”, ” Pontiac” or maybe even a Ford pick-up truck.
    Some strolled, some learned about “life” …….!

  23. @peterj
    But it is hilarious, God forbid anybody should smile or look like they are having fun. I presume this was so cool looking back then(I was 9 then) but looks so dorky now.
    (:

  24. Further to north of 60’s postings:
    Sure looks as though the Obama administration orchestrated the influx of children:
    ” ‘Federal immigration officials posted on a government procurement website an open-ended Request for Information from companies providing “escort services for unaccompanied alien children.’
    The Jan. 29 RFI notice was placed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a division of the Department of Homeland Security.
    ‘The contractor shall provide unarmed escort staff, including management, supervision, manpower, training, certifications, licenses, drug testing, equipment, and supplies necessary to provide on-demand escort services for non-criminal/non-delinquent unaccompanied alien children ages infant to 17 years of age, seven (7) days a week, 365 days a year’ for “approximately 65,000″ such children, according to the notice.”

  25. Ukrainian Rebel Commander Identified As Russian GRU Military Intelligence Colonel
    http://tinyurl.com/pe8f5rk
    GRU is Russian military intelligence and has been since long before the ‘Cold War ended’.
    Unlike the KGB/FSB they didn’t ‘rebrand’ by changing their name.

  27. No, we’re not in a dot-com bubble again.
    So there’s this smartphone app called ‘Yo’. All it does is send a text message ‘Yo’ to your friends.
    “It has been branded “pointless”, but has nonetheless raised $1m (£600,000) in investment. ‘We have decided this is an idea with great potential,’ Mr Arbel told the Financial Times.”
    Nope. No bubble. No sirree.

  28. Here’s an excuse for blocking an industrial project, that you’ve never seen before.
    Highway construction in Iceland was recently halted because the road planned to go through Elf habitat.
    http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27907358
    “The matter was resolved in part when a local lady who claims to talk to elves, mediated and they agreed to the road so long as their chapel was carefully moved and put elsewhere”.

  30. “Ukrainian Rebel Commander Identified As Russian GRU Military Intelligence Colonel”
    I think many of us have strongly suspected this all along. The Ukrainians should make an extra effort to get this guy and put him out of business.
    “Forget reports that the Russian president has wound down his campaign of interference in east Ukraine. Just the opposite is true – it’s getting much worse.”

  31. Just as a followup to my last post, for information only. My cousin sent me a forwarded email he got from his pastor associate in Ukraine. His English is good, but not the best.
    “Just returned from the Kiev.
    Walked on the streets where many of you walked, maybe we had fun and ate ice crème at that time.
    Today without tears you can’t walk there, and may be think of new perfume, or nice vocations.
    In some places near basically every tree, there are pictures of killed, usually young people.
    They knew, that they may not return. And many of them didn’t return. New history of Ukraine in painful.
    Today we learned about new heroes. Our soldiers in there tank were surrounded by rebels. They decided to explode themselves, and did it, not to give equipment and there life’s in the hands of aggressors. Young boys gave their life for the freedom, and that I can kiss my kids before they go to bad. Unbelievable.
    Divorcé with Russia cost us a lot.
    If you still have strength to pray for our country, please pray, and ask others.
    God bless Ukraine.
    Andrei.”

  32. Regarding ISIS and Iraq. I have an alternate strategy.
    1. My premise is that the war is 1400 years old.
    It is the muslims against civilization – Western, Christian, Bhuddist, Chinese, Hindu; anything not Muslim.
    2. It is an ideological cancer like Hitlerism. Not all Germans were Hitleristas, but they supported it and had to be defeated to end Hitlerism.
    3. Let them form their Caliphate. Then we have a target to destroy, and in that destruction lies Islam. Just like the ruins of Berlin buried Hitlerism.
    4. And don’t go saying I’m in favor of war. It is the muslims waging war; I am in favor of defence.

  33. “Are you surprised that former President George W Bush may have been right about Iraq’s WMD programs created by Saddam Hussein?”
    …-
    “ISIS In Iraq Find Saddam Hussein’s WMD Stockpiles Of Chemical Weapons… George W Bush Was Right?”
    “Did the ISIS in Iraq find Saddam Hussein’s WMD stockpiles of chemical weapons? While the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has been confirmed to have seized an old chemical weapons plant there seems to be a dispute over whether or not the remaining tons of chemical weapons like sarin and mustard could still be weaponized into a dangerous form.”

  36. Robert . . Bang on.
    The Caliphate will be a very target rich environment for carpet bombing.
