“Here we go. Excellent!”
These were Trump’s words when a member of the Bush Dynasty copped a feel, after Trump made lewd remarks. Jerry Farwell Jr. was on T.V. giving praise to Trump after being summoned to The Tower of Power. Would his father look the other way?
I just experienced a power outage after I posted my last post. It lasted an hour. I had no computer, no phone, no heat, no refrigerator or stove. I had no lights, or television. Heavy ice on the trees were crashing down on the power lines. I have seen scenarios that produce these results in cyber-attacks, or, attacks on our satilites. Has Trump been briefed on these real possibilities? Or, is he content to twitter to his rabid follower he told at a rally, he wished Russia would hack Hillary’s e-mails. No wonder he is not alarmed. Trump is in famor of Cyber Warfare, and thus he is guilty of Aiding and Abetting the enemy, too.
ISIS employs cyber warfare to terrorize millions. Trump terrorizes millions when he downplays the seriousness of the Russian hackings. He should be calling for a thorough investigation. China is a threat to hack into our power grid, and throw us into the stone age, a new Dark Age, and Cold War Age, that will cost the world trillions of dollars. If we lose our power grid, very few people will go to work. There will be no pay checks, no mortgage payment, or, check to pay the rent. Will we be able to vote? How about getting THE NEWS? You need electricity to run the presses. The Paper Boy is out of a job. And, Trump has not taken office! His ‘Make America Great Again’ has turned into ‘Make America Scary Again’. There will be witch hunts. Reporters with crystal sets will be rounded up and made scapegoats. We made the earth stand still, not Donald Trump.

Trump Falsely Says U.S. Claim of Russian Hacking Came After Election
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump on Thursday falsely stated that the United States government had waited until after the election “to complain” that Russia had hacked into American political organizations to interfere in the presidential race. But in doing so, he raised substantive questions about the Obama administration’s slow response to a cyberattack that proved successful.
In another of his provocative, early-morning posts on Twitter, Mr. Trump cast doubt on the government’s conclusion that Russia had carried out the hacking with the approval of the highest levels of the Kremlin, suggesting instead that the finding was a case of postelection sour grapes by President Obama.
“Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?” Mr. Trump asked, ignoring the fact that the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr., formally blamed Russia on Oct. 7 — a full month before Election Day — for the cyberattack on the Democratic National Committee and other organizations. In September, meeting privately in China with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, Mr. Obama not only complained, the White House says, but warned him of consequences if the Russian activity did not halt.
“If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act?” Mr. Trump wrote.
The Perfect Weapon: How Russian Cyberpower Invaded the U.S.
A Times investigation reveals missed signals, slow responses and a continuing underestimation of the seriousness of a campaign to disrupt the 2016 presidential election.
The Twitter post was the latest move by the president-elect to accuse the intelligence agencies he will soon control of acting with a political agenda, and to dispute a well-documented conclusion that Moscow carried out a meticulously planned series of attacks and information releases devised to interfere in the 2016 presidential race. In the message, Mr. Trump again sought to dismiss the evidence of Russia’s misdeeds as the unfounded complaints of sore losers casting about for reasons to reject the results of the election.
But Mr. Trump also seized upon questions that have roiled the White House and the highest echelons of the Obama administration: Why did it take months after Russia’s breaches had been discovered for Mr. Obama to publicly name Moscow as the culprit? And why did Mr. Obama opt not to openly retaliate, through sanctions or other measures?
White House officials say the warning to Mr. Putin at a September summit meeting in Hangzhou, China, constituted the primary American response. But when the administration decided to go public a month later with its conclusion that Russia was responsible, it did so in a written statement from the director of national intelligence and the secretary of homeland security, not in a prominent presidential appearance. And there was no promise of economic sanctions against the individuals or organizations responsible.
Officials said they worried that any more public response to the hacking would raise doubts about the integrity of the election, something that Mr. Trump was already seeking to do in campaign appearances in which he insisted that the election was “rigged.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Activism wasn’t originally on the agenda for Stephen Mullens, a meteorologist at the University of Oklahoma. He’d come to the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union — the first major gathering of the world’s earth and climate scientists since the election of Donald Trump — to do what one usually does at these sorts of conferences: meet with colleagues, browse posters, listen to panel discussions, wait in long lines for free coffee.
But the dawn of what one researcher called “the Trumpocene” has everyone at AGU reckoning with their role in this new era.
For Mullens, that meant attending his first-ever protest Tuesday. Standing in a crowd of fellow researchers, he listened as Beka Economopoulos, the director of the Natural History Museum, a mobile museum based in New York, implored them to get “out of the labs and into the streets” in response to the president-elect’s positions on climate change.
The protest, organized by the activist group ClimateTruth.org and the Natural History Museum, drew several hundred people from the massive AGU conference happening a few blocks away. Some of the scientists donned white lab coats distributed by the organizers. Others held up signs that read “Science is not a liberal conspiracy,” “Ice has no agenda — it just melts” and “Protect science.” A few looked nervous when a speaker led the crowd in a chant of “Stand up. Fight back.” But they gamely joined in.
