Did Biden include any money for Cybersecurity? Hell no.



The left rather use their energy to destroy the two party system and the Constitution.

Released last week with impressive fanfare but relatively scant detail, the Biden administration’s announcement that the Department of Energy and DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) would coordinate with our nation’s electric utility industry to raise the bar on industrial control system cybersecurity in the utility industry, was nevertheless received with a significant amount of optimism by the cybersecurity community.

There is some cyber security points in the infrastructure but clearly we need more and this is a great time for Republicans and Democrats to make sure that more is included in that bill.

Almost two years after Trump took office,.....“I think we’ve seen very weak and inconsistent attention to cybersecurity,” says Jody Westby, head of cyber-risk management company Global Cyber-Risk, who advised the Department of Homeland Security on cybersecurity research and development for eight years. “The talk doesn't match the walk.”


So sure maybe Biden hasn't done enough in four months -- but let's see where we are in two years.

Obama was a terrible president the first two times and the third is even worse.
Less gas, less food, increased police state, less freedom, booming inflation and a rekt foreign policy.
Biden is the most popular President of all time.
Enjoy The Show

Biden is somehow responsible for a PRIVATE company, Colonial Pipeline, being hacked for ransom?

In 2020, the combo of lack of demand and the price war between Saudi and Russia compelled the Saudis to keep pumping, despite the lack of demand caused cheap gas. The number of global flights declined 75+%. Cruise ships did not sail. People worked from home instead of commuting by car.

There is a pent up demand for nearly every commodity and no question some are using it as a reason to increase prices.

Biden is no more responsible for the current state than Trump was for Covid and the 500,000 deaths.

They said that, because Trump took it away from the "private swamp creature" companies, in bed with the democrats, and handed all the cyber security of the nations infrastructure over to the military.
Democrats lost control over it.

Now, they dumped the military control(but they still monitor it all and know exactly what happened and by who) The private contractors(Global Cyber-Risk) allowed this to take place... Maybe on purpose... the military knows.

Food. Gas. Energy. Lumber. 4.2% increase in consumer prices overall. We are most certainly dealing with a red hot case of inflation. Blame it on Biden, blame it on Coronavirus, but at the end of the day this is happening under Biden’s watch, and he’s not doing anything about it.

Enjoy them higher prices, y’all.

Another odd thread.



As for the 70s, which I lived through as a driving teenager: the initial OPEC embargo began in 1973, under the watch of the Republican Nixon Administration.



https://www.history.com/this-day-in-...ts-oil-embargo


As noted herein, the current gasoline shortage was caused by hackers into the oil pipe transport company.



Since we seem to enjoy sprouting nonsense, I will add this:



Those states which are running out of gas are, by and large, Red States. Do we blame the Republican leadership in each of said states?

Only the bad parts of the 70s coming back, none of the good stuff.
