The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a guide to "inclusive language" in order to promote "health equity" and "inclusive communication."
"Language in communication products should reflect and speak to the needs of people in the audience of focus.," the CDC guide reads.
The guide has multiple sections with suggestions for more inclusive language, including a section dedicated to "Corrections & Detentions" that suggests replacing terms such as "Inmate," "Prisoner," "Convict/ex-convict," and "Criminal" with terms such as "People/persons," "Persons in pre-trial or with charge," "Persons on parole or probation," or "People in immigration detention facilities."
Other sections in the guide include "Disability," "Drug/Substance Abuse," "Healthcare Access & Access to Services and Resources," "Homelessness," "Lower Socioeconomic Status," "Mental Health / Behavioral Health," "Non-U.S.-born Persons / Immigration Status," "Older Adults," "People Who are at Increased / Higher Risk," "Race & Ethnicity," "Rural," and "Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity," all which suggests replacement terms for common language typically used to refer to the groups.

No, that link is not to the Babylon Bee - it is to Fox News
The 82nd Airborne troops would let Americans through their lines.
Therefore they are operating under orders not too.
Therefore this is not incompetence.
Since it must be intentional.
Who issued the order and why?

Simple enough to destroy during a withdrawal.
Again, just leaving the equipment has to be intentional.

Once again: Joe Biden has given the Islamists arms and hostages.

What is this bold font spammers like to use? Spam New Roman? Ariel Spam?
And while we're on the subject, the new FCC anti-spam call protocols worked for what, two weeks, before the spam calls came back.

And the joke is on the person who clicks on the link in the spam to claim their [insert name of store] surprise!
They'll get surprised, all right.
If one does show up in my email program, not having been caught by the server's anti-spam, I sometimes view the source (Thunderbird makes this easy and safe; the result is a raw text window of the header and message - does not decode base-64 encoded blocks) and look for links, which I sometimes copy and paste into virustotal. It is amazing how few AV programs catch them at first.
Virustotal is a website that can scan URLs and you can upload files to have something like 50-60 antivirus programs scan. I would not be surprised to find that the AV software is supplied to them free in return for getting malware samples.
Afternoon everyone. Been on a bit of a hiatus it seems. Haven't even been on F*ceb**k. Still working, still surviving, and just wanting this madness to all end.
