President Obama, in another outreach to Muslims everywhere, reported famed flag maker, Betsy Ross, to the US Environmental Protection Agency for allegedly producing a defective product. The President said, “None of our Islamic brothers and sisters should ever have to perish from the scourge of fiery, flag fumes while engaging in their First Amendment rights no matter where in the world they might be.”
ABC News has reported, “How the FBI Cracked the iPhone Encryption and Averted a Legal Showdown With Apple“.
As the legal battle played out, the FBI appealed to cyber experts around the world for help.
“We’ve talked to anybody who will talk with us about it, and I welcome
additional suggestions,” Comey said during a House hearing four weeks ago.
In response, countless companies and hackers — including what one source familiar with matter called many “whackadoodles” — came forward claiming to have a way into Farook’s phone, sources said.
But nothing appeared viable. That is, until a company that the FBI has yet to identify came forward about two weeks ago. After initial contacts with the FBI, company officials flew to Washington to lay out their solution, sources told ABC News.
On Sunday, March 20, in a meeting at FBI headquarters, company officials demonstrated their technology on another iPhone. Convinced it would work, the FBI greenlighted applying it to Farook’s phone, sources said.
This past weekend — just days ago — the attempt was made, and “the FBI has now successfully retrieved the data stored on” the phone, according to the Justice Department.

Kill them with love. And many, many big ‘effing bombs.
Wait for it. Wait for it. Ouch!! And there’s more where that came from. You better just hope I don’t draw you a Red Line.
Compare these 1895 Freshman/Sophomore Class Princeton “Snowball Warriors” to the poor little ‘Effing Emory Snowflakes that can’t survive a little chalk dust.
Here’s the report from The Washington Post, “Someone wrote ‘Trump 2016’ on Emory’s campus in chalk. Some students said they no longer feel safe“.
Students woke up Monday morning to find messages written in chalk all over campus, in support of Donald Trump. That afternoon, a group of 40 to 50 students protested. According to the student newspaper, the Emory Wheel,
they shouted in the quad, “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” and then students moved into the administration building calling out, “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
Jim Wagner, the president of the university in Atlanta, met with the protesters and later sent an email to the campus community, saying, in part, “During our conversation, they voiced their genuine concern and pain in the face of this perceived intimidation.
The story spread quickly, as media such as Reason mocked, “At Emory University, Writing ‘Trump 2016′ on Sidewalk Is a Racist Microaggression …,” with references to students needing “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces” to protect them from presidential candidates’ names and slogans. For many, it was another sign of college students being so overly sensitive that even political campaigning could be seen as hate speech.
Or if you were around in 1969, “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice“.
From Vox, “Heidi Cruz and Melania Trump: 6 stories to read about the women at the center of Wifegate“.
This week, the two leading Republican presidential candidates spiraled into a hypermasculine feud over each other’s wives.
Donald Trump responded to an attack ad in support of Ted Cruz that used a nude photo of Trump’s wife, Melania, with a vague threat to “spill the beans” about Cruz’s wife, Heidi.
The Facebook attack ad, targeted at Utah’s conservative Mormon base before Tuesday’s primary, was sponsored by Make America Awesome, a Super PAC supporting Cruz. It used a photo from a GQ spread with the caption, “Meet Melania Trump. Your Next First Lady. Or you could support Ted Cruz on Tuesday.”
Just when you think this Presidency can’t get any more bizarre, Obama decides to do the tango while the Brussels Tangos try to blow up the city. Is that poor optics, or is that poor optics?
Speaking of poor optics, check Mooch out.
