Attempted breach of Ohio county election network draws FBI and state scrutiny – The Washington Post

…Colorado election officials have since accused Peters of sneaking an outsider into Mesa County election offices to copy the hard drives of machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems, a company cited in conspiracy theories by Trump and his supporters.

In October, a state judge prohibited Peters from supervising the upcoming local elections, citing her efforts to copy the hard drives. On Wednesday, FBI agents searched her home and that of several of her associates as part of an investigation into possible wire fraud and computer crimes…

FDA Asks Judge To Grant It Until 2076 To Release Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Data – Slashdot (Me: It’s officially WTF Friday!!!)

…The FDA has asked (PDF) a federal judge to make the public wait until the year 2076 to disclose all of the data and information it relied upon to license Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Johnson, Trump, Morrison are on the side of the, as we call them in Australia, COVIDIOTS. All three were putting money before and above, people.

It’s just odd. Being the political leader of a country is as political and in Government as you can get.

Then it’s gets weirder for me. As these same politicians are now all vaccinated against COVID, and yet, they encourage people to fight against…
