The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

UpNorth Joe: I never watch Fox, has this even been discussed on Fox ?

Fox Snooz is saying that it is against the law to discuss classified matters, including war plans, on non-classified, non-government platforms. And a serious national security risk. Signal is easily hacked and could well have been compromised by foreign intelligence services. They're saying that the phones should be seized by the FBI and a major counter-intelligence investigation is needed. And they're saying that vice president Vance, SecDev Hegseth, secretary of state Rubio, DNI Gabbard, and the others on the unsecure chat should resign in disgrace.

Just kidding.

Here's what they're saying:

Watters: Yeah, they accidentally leaked something to the media.

Jessica: They didn't leak it. They invited him in.

Watters: At least they didn’t have a server and acid wash it.

Hegseth, questioned briefly in Hawaii, said: “So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes.”

Umm.

Brian Hughes, the spokesman for the National Security Council, confirmed the Signal group. “This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain.”

No doubt the republican calls for resignation and investigation are coming in 3-2-1.

Just kidding.
