Love the picture of Ronnie with a keyboard. That was him acting there for sure. Lol. How the Dems just fight everything just shows they want this country to die. People are seriously protesting the killing of Khomeni! You cannot have a weak defense and be a strong country. Sometimes you have to go on the offense to have a strong defense. In the age of the internet there is no way the US should take a backseat to any country. We built it! No reason not to be the masters of it. I love peace through strength. Trump is showing the world the US is still the strongest country in the world and everyone should be feeling patriotic over it. I know I am. Even with those who wish to destroy the country from within there should be enough of us patriots to have the majority over them. Love it or leave baby.

Furthermore, Reagan is winking. So he's indicating that he doesn't know how to use a computer. He probably kept a huge Rolodex somewhere. And I'm with him. Digital is fine, as long as you have a paper copy on hand for that Electronic Armageddon that happens every single time that CloudFlare has an issue and the Internet goes down. And that's often! I avoid the chaos at the airports by simply not flying; I take Amtrak. And I use the Amtrak app, but I also print out and bring a paper copy of my ticket, in case.

Yay, finally!

This is another VERY positive effort by the Administration. But wow, what a huge challenge to actually get these done.

It reads like a job posting that AI mastermind Thiel wrote for himself.

I completely agree: compliance is not security.

Every commercial security product and control today can be defeated—given enough time, talent, and resources on the attacker's side. After 35+ years in cybersecurity, I've seen this play out repeatedly.

Compliance often represents the bare minimum (a snapshot in time, a checklist), while real security demands adaptive, risk-based defenses that evolve faster than threats do. With adversaries now leveraging AI at scale, malware-free attacks dominating, and breakout times shrinking dramatically (often under 30 minutes), the gap is only widening.

Love to see that they are going to be utilizing some of the brightest minds outside of the government to handle this!

It's about time the gov't bureaucracy is actually forced to admit that some of the "brightest minds" are not in the gov't.

Sounds like another smart strategy. I can't believe how much work this admin. is getting done. Too few people hear about these things. Some only hear all the noise and propaganda.

Yep. I keep trying to add areas where I comment to write "Check out Dr. Malone on Substack for truth". Sometimes I get a number of thumbs up!

Of course the lefty media neglects to mention, let alone actually expound upon any of this!

More stuff they really don't want you and me to know about.

What they lie about is sometimes less dangerous than the things they refuse to talk about at all.

I'm fine with offense being inclusive in cyber warfare, as long as that offense is not rogue, autonomous A.I..

Defense at every level is necessary to secure the republic! Thank you Dr.M!

This is a challenging and inspiring statement of intent. The allusion to the development of early AI capacities is timely.

The references to issues that are being addressed is timely.

I'm left however at a loss as to the occasion of delivery and the intended audience. In that this is coupled with your bioweapons monitoring - check for BWC compliance, it seems absent from mention. Shouldn't it be referenced in some way as well?

Off Topic here - for another example - the spate of measles incidents recently? With the msm coverage one wonders if the incidence might have been generated to promote more disease fears and vax uptakes?

In sum Good Show! Much appreciated!

Using AI to get rid of viruses was literally how skynet took over in Terminator 3.

It's amazing how so many sci fi story lines come to fruition. "Open the pod bay door H.A.L."

"I'm afraid I can't do that Dave"

It's even more amazing when you consider how long ago 2001 a Space Odyssey actually came out. What was it... 69? Hell, it hadn't even occurred to me at that point that I would ever run a computer let alone actually own several of them.

Good one :) I saw the movie in the theater when I was 9. It left quite an impression on me.

No more screen door on a submarine! I love it.

Facebook, Microsoft and Google are the main conduits for cyber criminals to suck 17 billion dollars out of the US citizens yearly. I was hacked in 2025 because I thought I was on the Microsoft site and in reality it was a mirror image with a pseudo Microsoft phone number. Google sells the listing position of legitimate sites to other sources so they are listed above the legitimate site you are trying to access. After I was hacked, they disabled my email and had the nerve to tell me the server was in New Zealand and the criminal was in India. They have denied to the

FCC that they can prevent these occurrences, and the Google policy allows it to happen. Time the FCC puts the Digital money machines feet to the fire and make them responsible to monitor and vet the listing of sites on their websites. It will require them to hire more people! FCC DO YOUR JOB! PS: Facebook sells spots to sexually orientated sites that offend me and I am sure others.

So happy to read your mini much welcomed epistle. The media and some Trump “supporters “ on social media r deserting at a time when we need to show support. Closet democrats ? Thank You for all that you are doing not only for us but also for the generations we shall never meet.

I have noticed not so many letters arriving saying "We were hacked and your info has been compromised". No idea what that means.

Individually, I do what I can to be safe. VPN (which I don't like as it messes with my access to websites), 2 step verification, no opening numerous hack type emails, change of passwords regularly, answering machine on phone (I never answer unless I can verify), no set up of voicemail on cell, look up and call directly anyone sending me suspicious stuff who might be legit.

All that being said, I'm no doubt being spied on and I resent it.

I'd like to learn more about encrypting my text messages, if anyone's a master.

Just received a you've been exposed by a breech letter myself. Same medical facility that exposed us to a breech several years ago. Will have to do better at avoiding them going forward.

LB (Little Birdie)'s avatar

Seems almost impossible to avoid the medical 1s. Our info being no longer in paper files, but all online. This 'convenience mindset' is doing us in. I keep trying to smile thru the "It's making blah blah so much better."

Watched a 'medical' show last night (fiction, but still) where the info sent to a surgery unit in a hospital was sent up incorrectly because the Emergency area had started a new, improved, faster way of getting it done online. Even tho the show is fake, the content is taken from real life experience. Wonder if the surgery was done before it was caught, or...??

Jean's avatar

The thing that irritates is that they know from experience they are a target and yet, still don't invest in adequate protection.
