Macron may have phished the russian hackers
According to the Daily Beast Macron may have planted fake stuff knowing the russian hackers may make it in. The meat of the article is toward the bottom.

The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked
A story of brexit, but also shows the U.S. part along with ties.
"There wasn’t just a relationship between Cambridge Analytica and AggregateIQ, Paul told me. They were intimately entwined, key nodes in Robert Mercer’s distributed empire. “The Canadians were our back office. They built our software for us. They held our database. If AggregateIQ is involved then Cambridge Analytica is involved. And if Cambridge Analytica is involved, then Robert Mercer and Steve Bannon are involved. You need to find Chris Wylie.” "

A painting Russia's terrific trio from a year back
The people who would make Russia great again. A painting made last year during the primaries by a russian artist.
"Maria Katasonova pointed proudly to the three stylised portraits behind her: versions of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Marine Le Pen, all made to look eerily similar with blond hair and identical outfits. “It’s called Triptych,” she said. “It was painted a year ago, when nobody believed Trump had a chance of winning, except us. Now, it’s a vision of the future.”"

The internet of things and russia
I just saw Malcom Nance on msnbc talking about the hacks here and abroad. One of the things he brought up was that russia doesn't just go after emails and info. They also do things like in the Ukraine where they shut down 3 power plants. Over the years there have been more things like plants, offshore platforms, etc that have internet remote control capabilities. I have worked on systems that have remote control and there are a lot out there already. The number is growing each day.
When dipshit donnie ignores the threat to the U.S. by trying to confuse or discount what the experts say. His ignorance and him ignoring the things that can and probably will happen just puts us at further risk.

Question about life insurance for a friend
Here's the deal. I have known her since middle school. My wife has known here since we got married 40 + years ago. She is 70 years old and in bad health. Had cancer and it seems to be in remission. Massive bone loss, drinks, smoker since she was young, uses a walker and wheel chair. She has a house which is upside down on the loan. Doesn't have any close family she can rely on. Closest is a sister in law. Her husband died ~10 years back. On SS, medicare, medicaid.
We have been helping her out since her husband died. Bringing her to doctor appointments, doing repairs on her house, mowing the lawn, and helping her on her bills. She doesn't have a life insurance to pay off the loan and the house is in very bad shape, cracked slab, etc. It will be just going back to the bank. Before her husband died of cancer they sold off everything they could to pay bills. And she turned into a hoarder/cat lady. I think she has around 20 cats now. My wife has power of attorney and executor. She wants to be buried. It's hard to say how long she will live. We have been expecting something for the last ~5 years.
We are trying to figure out what to do. We have looked some at buying her one of the funeral packages or paying for life insurance. To help out her final expenses. Any suggestions or experiences on something like this? We are not going to just let her go. So don't consider that as a something we would consider.
Local station yesterday had Dan Rather on
Normally I don't watch the show "Great Day Houston" because it's fluff. Also most of the show seems like a on going commercial. It normally is Houston based businesses. But I really can't stand it.
Yesterday was not the normal. They were interviewing Dan Rather. I just barely remember back that long but do remember when he went from the local CBS station to national. It was a really good interview and they had with him.
You can do a google search with "great day houston Dan Rather" to find more. But here is a link to the start of the show.
