Have you seen this pop up when you try to load a page??
Just got the morning started and I am reloading my tabs after.
THIS pops up. Thankfully, I remembered to get a screenshot this time. It has popped up from time to time in the last 6 months, I think it is supposed to be a Firefox page. ( Running Linux/Firefox, both up to date.)
This isn't hop my update notices work, they all come from Update Manager.
I grabbed the screenshot, then clicked on a blank tab, and this closed itself.

Ironically, the focus of the game is a crook who is clueless.
this afternoon's focus is what is happening at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
It just occured to me that we are all playing an International game of "Clue"

Hell yes he just made a serious threat to the country.
from WaPo..
Its so terrible whats happening. You know, the left plays a tougher game, its very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they dont play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you, I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump I have the tough people, but they dont play it tough until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad. But the left plays it cuter and tougher.
As The Washington Posts David Nakamura pointed out, this is actually quite similar to something Trump said at a September campaign rally for now-Sen. Josh Hawley (R) in Missouri:
Theyre so lucky that were peaceful. Law enforcement, military, construction workers, Bikers for Trump -- how about Bikers for Trump? They travel all over the country. They got Trump all over the place, and theyre great. Theyve been great. But these are tough people. These are great people. But theyre peaceful people, and Antifa and all -- theyd better hope they stay that way. I hope they stay that way. I hope they stay that way.

U.S. Government Tracking Journalists, Immigration Advocates Through a Secret Database
Documents obtained by NBC 7 Investigates show the U.S. government created a secret database of activists, journalists, and social media influencers tied to the migrant caravan and in some cases, placed alerts on their passports.
snip:
But in the months that followed, journalists who covered the caravan, as well as those who offered assistance to caravan members, said they felt they had become targets of intense inspections and scrutiny by border officials.
Now, documents leaked to NBC 7 Investigates show their fears werent baseless. In fact, their own government had listed their names in a secret database of targets, where agents collected information on them. Some had alerts placed on their passports, keeping at least three photojournalists and an attorney from entering Mexico to work.
The documents were provided to NBC 7 by a Homeland Security source on the condition of anonymity, given the sensitive nature of what they were divulging.
