OF SUICIDE BOMBERS AND SUICIDE PACTS: Rolling Stone calls for the Second Amendment to be repealed, Roger Simon writes. “Remember the old days when it used to be coveted to be ‘on the cover of Rolling Stone?‘ Maybe next time it should be ISIS,” Roger sardonically adds.

Not too much of a leap, considering the magazine’s cover right around this time in 2013 posed the Islamic Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev like he was the second coming of Jim Morrison.

CYBERSECURITY: What the human immune system can teach us about protecting our data.

Human operators are easily fooled by malware’s use of machine- learning techniques to blend into a network. This is where machine learning—techniques that train computers to adapt and learn from data with little or no human involvement—becomes a crucial part of the defense arsenal. Advanced—and, more important, constantly evolving—algorithms behave like an immune system for the enterprise. When the network is breached by a suspicious activity, whether from an insider or from an external threat, the system alerts the security team to that anomaly.

Recent advances in mathematics have improved this immune-system approach by adding digital antibodies that have the ability to act when they detect a serious threat. That action might involve isolating the infected machine or slowing down network activity until a human is available to assess the breach. This allows a company to neutralize fast-moving attacks like ransomware.

That’s from Nicole Eagan, CEO of cybersecurity company Darktrace.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. The Clinton Global Initiative scam is crashing.

According to the report, the Clinton Global Initiative received an all-time low number of commitments in 2015, the year Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign and drew a deluge of negative attention to the Clinton Foundation’s work.

Pay-for-play has long been the Clinton’s M.O., especially since Bill left the White House and they launched the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation.

So why are the payers holding back just when Hillary seems poised to wield as much power (if not more) as Bill ever did?

HOW TO TEAR A NATION APART: Appeal To Liberal Self-Regard:

After 9/11 and the Boston Bombings, Americans grieved together and comforted each other. They resolved to fight their attackers as one nation. Insofar as there was partisan dissension, it was mostly contained to cranks on either side. But the attacks at San Bernardino and Orlando have yielded an altogether different response, dominated by hostility, mistrust, and outrageous partisan attacks. Part of this is because the latter two attacks took place during a hotly-contested election season that has brought fevered populism to the fore on both sides of the aisle. But perhaps the most important reason Americans have been divided, rather than united, in the face of terror over the last year is simply because the terrorists elected to kill their victims with bullets. If Omar Mateen had planted Tsarnaev-style pressure-cooker bombs in the crowded Pulse nightclub on Saturday night, he may well have claimed just as many casualties. But the attack would not have immediately set off a political firestorm over gun control.

Guns occupy a critical space in America’s increasingly acerbic culture wars, a manifestation of the broader social convection currents taking place below the surface. For Jacksonians who are losing faith in the ability of established institutions to preserve order, the Second Amendment is a bulwark against totalitarian movements, like Islamism, that would undermine American liberty. Under this deeply held view, attacks by ISIS-enthusiasts strengthen, rather than weaken, the case for gun rights. But for cosmopolitan liberals, gun rights are an anachronism—a symbol of all the wrong-headed views espoused by working class whites. Set these two warring camps against each other in the context of an ongoing terror threat, and you push an already divided society even further down the path of tribalism and fracture.

The attackers in Orlando and San Bernardino accomplished something the attackers in Boston and New York didn’t: They drove a wedge between patriotic Americans, and managed to ensure that our grieving over the dead was polluted from the outset by a din of vicious political assaults. By any measure, they and their fellow travelers must consider this a great success. Perhaps terrorists who choose to carry out their massacres with guns are actually “taking advantage” of American society in a rather different way than many liberals think.

AT SEA IN THE SWAMP OF MORAL NARCISSISM: Michael Walsh reviews Roger Simon’s new book I Know Best: How Moral Narcissism Is Destroying Our Republic, If It Hasn’t Already:

Simon concludes I Know Best by outing himself as a “libertarian neocon,” a believer in smaller government and a more muscular foreign policy. “Those who wish to roll up the gangplanks and live in some libertarian nirvana, letting the rest of the world stew, strike me as naive beyond words. If you want to have paradise — or even a halfway decent existence — you have to be prepared to defend it.”

So that’s my moral narcissism — how “I know best.” Factor it in, but as you do, be sure to factor in that of others. It’s all around us, the most prevalent disease of our times. I have it, you have it, and everyone else has it too.

What’s yours?

Read the whole thing.

In addition to his ongoing interviews and reviews, Roger will be discussing his new book in person this December at Bullets & Bourbon in Texas.
