Black girls 'perceived as less innocent

Did InfoWars Get White House Press Credentials?

An ambitious ruler defeated by his own hubris: Shakespeare had Donald Trump down.

A letter writer to the LA Times writes


"To the editor: We all are living our own Shakespearean drama: a flawed character has successfully ascended to the ultimate power that he so dearly sought. However, victory is taking on an increasingly bitter taste as the very traits he used to achieve his goal are sowing dissension. (“Trump lashes out, calls Russia investigation a 'witch hunt,'” May 18)

All this, while his entourage wears itself to a frazzle, scrambling daily to turn dross into gold: that is, to transform yesterday’s lie into today’s fact. And his entourage may be turning on him — who can it be who dares leak? Could it be Stephen Bannon — not Cicero — who “looks with such ferret and such fiery eyes”?

So President Trump flails about, steeped in self-pity while hurling accusations. But the cause of his angst is not the Democrats, the media or even those awful leakers. At the end of the day it’s Trump."

The letter-writer makes an interesting point.

Exclusive: North Korea's Unit 180, the cyber warfare cell that worries the West

North Korea's main spy agency has a special cell called Unit 180 that is likely to have launched some of its most daring and successful cyber attacks, according to defectors, officials and internet security experts.

North Korea has been blamed in recent years for a series of online attacks, mostly on financial networks, in the United States, South Korea and over a dozen other countries.

Cyber security researchers have also said they have found technical evidence that could link North Korea with the global WannaCry "ransomware" cyber attack that infected more than 300,000 computers in 150 countries this month. Pyongyang has called the allegation "ridiculous".
