So many incautious (insufficiently paranoid) people now discovering that their DNA is now for sale to the highest bidder and worse, that their DNA is now available to cops to help convict members of their family.
Like the Internet — don’t put anything in the cloud with even remotely strategic value to your privacy, because it’s forever, and “strong” encryptions get broken every day before breakfast (RIP WEP, WPA1, SSL, TLS1.0 and now OME).
I proudly trace my ancestry all the way back to Ellis Island. I know I have Irish and Polish grandparents, and the Poles probably migrated from Austria/Hungary. Considering the genetic and cultural muddle in that region, I figure I can claim family in any part of eastern Europe. (Thank you, Roman slavers.)
The odd part of my ‘Irish’ heritage is that they came from Scotland as Gallowglas mercenaries and they very likely were exiled to Scotland from Israel after a failed revolt. The Eastern European part must have originated in Israel as well since they were Jews. The rest were the usual English/Scottish/English via Scandanavian conquerors white trash mix, except for the Native American and African DNA contributors.
By ‘exiled’ I mean Rome saying”we’ve had enough of your crap”, dragging them to the ‘edge of the empire’ and chucking them over Hadrian’s wall to the wilderness beyond…where we fit in quite nicely, a stolen sheep is still kosher 🙂

MD, Ellis Island? You immigrant invader! And many of your people (and mine through the Scots/Irish Tomerlins) that came through there were almost universally despised and essentially enslaved. BUT they yearned for and came for and worked for acceptance, and opportunity, and citizenship…and they joined with the Mayflower types to BUILD THIS COUNTRY! Do the idiots who have flung open the doors to any and all not see the difference?
Through Ancestry, I found I was Norwegian-Irish. My wife said it explained the preference for direct solutions, a talent for rigging moonshine stills and the the axes on the walls.
According to family records, My family is English with a touch of Scot and Irish. Just for added interest, anyone born with my surname is related some way, somehow; at one time there were two unrelated families with the surname Egbert in England. One family emigrated to the US in the mid-late 1800s, proliferated and followed the Mormons to Utah (you’ll find Egberts in the Salt Lake City phone book like Smiths in most other US cities), the other family stayed in England – and died out.
Lastly, genealogy shows that we’re all direct descendants of the first king of unified England, Egbert the Great (85-36 a.d.). No honors needed or requested . . .
One of our sons did a 23 and me. He discovered that he had a chunk of Neanderthal DNA, some from me, but mostly from his dad. I told my husband that must have been why I fell for him from almost the moment I met him in Judo class. (He was the instructor — a San Dan black belt.) It must have been a good match. I married him 2 years later, and here we are, nearly 51 years afterwards, the parents of 7, grandparents of 10 and one great grandson. Those Neanderthal pheromones are irresistible. Maybe that’s what Sam sees in Zed.
So the *resident is absolved from possessing classified material because he’s too incompetent to be charged or stand trial but Trump is still charged for possessing documents he was allowed to have and has to stand for an unnecessary trial because he’s already been found guilty before it starts ? and slow joe is trying to say he’s perfectly capable of committing a crime and even reminded them he did the same thing 40 years ago too ? Hollywood is incapable of writing anything remotely this good.
It has become intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that:
resident Biden* has lost whatever tenuous grasp of reality he might have once had.
Biden* will not be the Demoncrat nominee for President in November 2024. However, the Demoncrats have yet to come to agreement on a succession plan since “None of the Above” is currently the only identified candidate who polls better than Donald Trump.
Dr. Jill and Kneepads Harris have failed to realize that as (political) whores, they are not being paid for their services, but for going away quietly when told. Each has been made “an offer they can’t refuse,” and neither was smart enough to accept it.
At the Demoncrat National Convention (DNC) this August in Chicago, the “Voice from the Sewer” from the 1940 DNC in Chicago will likely be resurrected, though it is unclear which name it will be programmed to call out.
For a wide variety of reasons, the “usual suspects” in Chicago have all but guaranteed “extracurricular activities” that will far exceed those of the 1968 DNC in Chicago. Governor FatAss, Mayor Conehead, and DA Crimesha, and Police Superintendent Larritorious have promised a far more gentle and less effective response than that of then Mayor Daley in 1968.
Most of all, I love that this nol prosse is based entirely on what a prosecutor predicts a jury will find. Remind me why we even bother to have juries.

The ‘none of the above’ landslide was recorded when Trump wasn’t on the ballot so he wasn’t included in that category…I’d therefore assume that a large amount, if not most, of the ‘none of the above’ votes were could be interpeted as votes for Trump instead of those who were 🙂

Why is anyone surprised? They’re following precedent. President Biden’s garage is more secure than an unprotected server you-know-who had in a closet.
Back in the day they told us new lieutenants that mishandling any classified document would earn us PCS to Fort Leavenworth, and then a dishonorable discharge.
During one office stint I was in charge of changing the combinations on the classified document containers for several Officers, including two Majors because that was “a job for an NCO, not an Officer” (that and they couldn’t figure out how) 😉

Need a lot more of that neanderthal blood out here…
Might not want to go the 23andMe route though; if their economics can go from 6 Bil to 0 I’m not sure they’ve got the science down either…

The real name for ‘the cloud’ is ‘someone else’s computer’
Ya, data breaches and colluding with fed have shot their reputation
The girls going from full brunettes to auburn? Slowly heating up until they are full redheads?
Claiming neanderthal blood will soon be labeled ‘racist’ now that they’ve discovered the neanderthals were the smart ones and didn’t come from Africa.
OH, NOES!!!!!! Now I’m miss-hearing The Troggs singing “Swamp Thing, I think I love you”

I thought having axes around was just normal household tools.
My wife says I throw them too much.
