Russian hackers have begun to target US power grid: Reports

And that's troubling news.  According to reports; federal officials, and officials at one Vermont power plant Russia code belonging to what is believed to be an elite group of hackers has surfaced in a laptop found on site.    Officials say that the laptop wasn't hooked up to anything, but, it appears that there was an attempt to at least get the code near the power grid in Vermont. The Burlington Free Press reports that the code is apparently "very close to the same code used in the Presidential elections and the hacking in the DNC". "Vermonters and all Americans should be both alarmed and outraged that one of the world's leading thugs, Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to hack our electric grid, which we rely upon to support our quality-of-life, economy, health, and safety," Democra...

Mark Lowcock was just knighted for all of the wrong reasons

The annual Honours List is here, and, some of the names have people talking.  This time particularly Mark Lowcock, the man, who  infamously decided to put an airport on St Helena knowing that the island had been deemed unsuitable for commercial flights.  According to the Honours List, he, still managed to make it onto the list despite massive public criticism in Britain specifically over the massive price tag that he wasted using tax-payer dollars. MP's blasted the honours announcement and Lowcock's department as "reprehensible and irresponsible"  for having "wreckessly" spent taxpayers money.   Additional reports note that the failed airport project proceeded despite warnings from aviation officials that it was impossible and not safe to land commercial flights on the remote Atlantic i...

A look inside Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace is perhaps one major part of world history and British history, and will remain even after the Queen actually dies. But, how much do people actually know about the palace?  Let's dig deeper. In 2016... It was announced that the palace would undergo a massive 10 year rennovation costing British tax-payers hundreds of millions of pounds.  It was reported by The Daily News earlier this year that the rennovations would fix much needed components of the castle and its wiring most of which hasn't been done in about 60 or so years.  The 828,000 foot palace has more than 700 rooms an more bathrooms than we could imagine someone actually enjoying having to clean. Meanwhile.. The Queen will remain in residnce (until her death) while the rennovations are underway. Wi...

Reports: Queen Elizabeth II, 90, has died

Or at least was briefly after Britain fell victim to a weird hoax on social media.  A fake Twitter account posing as the BBC popped up this week claiming that after 10 days  out of the public eye, that,  the Queen had passed away.  Queen Elizabeth has been out of the public eye since suffering a cold  during the Christmas holiday and remains resting at her Sandringham Palace estate.

Why you should fear Vladamir Putin

Vladamir Putin -- a man of fear; intimidation, a funny accent, and unpredictability remains a topic of discussion following the 2016 elections in America. An election season that was dominated by fake news and propaganda put out by Russia as reportedly confirmed in a top secret government document leaked online. The document showed that Russia "had involvements in the elections and its history dating back to the murder of a journalist who was once in America". This is where Vladamir Putin gets terrifying. Vladamir Putin is a known human rights abuser among other things. His track record as a dictator imprisoning others who speak out against his reign is well documented.   Many years ago, there was a female band who called themselves "Pussy Riot". The infamous female group was jailed...

The battle over Prince ‘s estate is getting really ugly

At least according to The Daily Mail. The Mail reports that months after the Purple Rain legends death, the battle over his estate, has raged on.  In its report, the paper claims that Prince's sister Tyka and his four half-siblings are "still fighting tooth and nail over the estate". In legal documents,  it appears that a judge has still not decided who will get the bulk of Prince's massive estate and his many homes.  Estate documents from the bank-appointed trust revealed that four of his Minnesota homes were recently sold amid the battle over his $300m estate. What hasn't been sold is Prince's  Paisley Park estate and his Turks and Caicos getaway a tropical home he secretly owned.  Under Minnesota law, all of  Prince 's siblings are entitled to an equal share of his estate however ...
