23andMe Hacked - 6.9 Million User’s Data Compromised

Bloomberg reports genetic testing company 23andMe has confirmed that some 6.9 million of their customers had their data compromised after an anonymous hacker accessed user profiles by using compromised passwords from other websites and posted that data for sale on the dark web earlier this year. This data breach included information from nearly half of all 23andMe’s users.

Wow, say it isn’t so! I mean, who could’ve ever dreamed that someone’s online information could be compromised? Why, I’ve never heard of such a thing. Of course, the truth be known, all the hackers actually got was simply an “analysis” of people's DNA, including things such as your ancestral origins, along with how likely you are to develop certain diseases. You know, whether or not you’ll go bald or get Athlete’s Foot if you walk around barefoot in your gym’s locker room. Not their actual DNA data. The fact is, this has happened to me so many times from various corporate websites; I have had free credit monitoring services for the past 10 years!

Frankly, I really didn’t learn all that much I didn’t already know or assume from my 23andMe genetic testing results, anyway. Things like I have an unusually high degree of Neanderthal blood in me. Hell, any old girlfriend of mine could’ve told you that. Why I’m even genetically related to a “pet rock,” which pretty much explains why I liked to get “stoned” so much back in college. That said, and perhaps even more concerning for many Americans - the tests found I have a strong proclivity toward being a New York Yankee fan. Anyway, 23andMe claims they’re all over this and is recommending customers change not only their passwords - but also their DNA, just to be on the safe side.

Trump Demands Constitution Be Set Aside and He Be Reinstated as President

Reacting to a Twitter post from Elon Musk who claimed Democrats violated the 1st Amendment by collaborating with big tech (Twitter), to remove tweets that featured pornographic photos of Hunter Biden during the 2020 election,” former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to demand that the United States Constitution be set aside and that he be reinstated as president. Trump further claimed that "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great 'Founders' did not want, and would not condone False & Fraudulent Elections!” Now, let me get this straight, Trump wants the US Constitution to be suspended - because Twitter refused to publish photos of “Hunter Biden's junk” during that last presidential election? The thing is Elon, Democrats weren’t even in power in 2020 - Trump was, which would make it a bit difficult for them to violate the...

Anti-Vax Newsmax Host Says Diseases are Supposed to Kill People

Conservative network Newsmax has been forced to “distance itself” from remarks uttered by host Rob Schmitt this week, who claimed that vaccines go "against nature" because diseases are "supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people,” and that vaccinations “unnaturally interfere with viruses' designs on killing people.” Wow, kinda looks like the “Schmitt” has really hit the fan over at Newsmax. So, they want to “distance” themselves from Schmitt’s remarks, do they? Gee, makes you wonder if the morons who run Newsmax know they actually have the option not hire anti-science nitwits like Schmitt as anchors in the first place? Not to worry though, should Schmitt get fired, I'm sure folks like Kevin McCarthy or Rand Paul would warmly welcome him to become part of their staffs. Of course, the truth is, what Schmitt is really promoting is “Social Darwinism.” Given that, I assume by the same logic he applies to vaccines, one may conclude that by warning people ...

2020 GOP Senate Nominee Claims the Equality Act Will ‘Illegalize’ Jesus Christ

The Equality Ac t is a bill before the United States Congress, that would simply prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, etc. It doesn’t dictate what churches or religious people must believe, but that hasn’t stopped right-wing, QAnon, and flat Earth activist Lauren Witzke - the GOP’s failed 2020 Senate candidate from Delaware - from going on Alan Jones’ InfoWars and claiming that the bill will “illegalize Jesus Christ” and “categorize the Scripture as hate speech.” Well, given her stance on immigrants, I can’t imagine why she’d ever object to anyone “trying to illegalize Jesus Christ.” I mean, by her standards - isn’t Jesus basically just another “illegal immigrant” from the Middle East? So, what’s the problem? Why, if you don’t believe me, then try telling some border patrol agent “but, but, I’m the son of God” - and see how far ...
