Trump, trying to take a swipe at the U.K, claims that we have already won the war on Iran: "The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

This from the same "stable genius" that claimed people could just walk over the border from Iran into Qatar.

I saw this protest sign image the other day and it really seems appropriate:

When I get mad at #USPol stuff, I try to remind myself of all the good people in this country.

A woman who is a dog-sitter mentioned to her clients that she was collecting donations for the local shelter. Within days, here's what her living room looked like.

Bless her and the donors.

OT. I really shouldn't laugh, but I can't stop laughing over this one:

"Donald Trump wax statue pulled from museum after being punched too many times"

Update: Ok, so maybe the clamps were worth it. And I hope our grandson likes the firehouse his grandpa made for him.

OT: So I asked my husband to make a firehouse for a grandson's fire trucks.

The firehouse is in progress, and the image shows the "stone" being glued and clamped down.

Somehow, I think this became an excuse for him to buy more clamps again.

"You can never have too many clamps," he assures me.

One well-known American Thanksgiving tradition is needing a nap after all that tryptophan. But what I really love about this picture is how the dog the family rescued last year cuddles my grandson and protects him while he sleeps.

It's #Halloween, so it's time for my annual tradition of posting the picture of my front porch after my daughter surprised me by decorating it for me while I was away.

Hope everyone gets to enjoy some candy today!

I was checking the website of Legacy Health, LLC to see if they had posted a substitute notice about a breach they had reported to the Texas Attorney General's Office. There was no notice about the breach, but by golly, they had a graphic claiming they have a HIPAA SEAL OF COMPLIANCE and are HIPAA VERIFIED.

The shield also says "Compliancy group" as if that's a thing...?

Why oh why, hasn't HHS or the FTC or both ever cracked down on this misleading shite?

I am having quite a day trying to process news.

I am reading articles that tell me AI-ransomware is coming, no wait: AI-ransomware is already here, no, hold on: there's been no actual AI-ransomware incidents reported at all.

This calls for more coffee.

On a somewhat humorous note: I had mentioned in my blog post that this #NoKings protest was the first protest my husband would ever be going to in his life.

When we got there, I started taking pictures, and I told him to take some good pictures too.

So what does the volunteer at the animal shelter decide to photograph at the protest?

You guessed it: dogs wearing "NoKings" clothing or signs.

And now it's official. BreachForums now has the splash page up. Four logos: DOJ, FBI, BL2C, and JUNALCO (the latter two are French)
