Senate includes nearly $2 billion in cyber, tech funds to COVID-19 bill
The Senate included close to $2 billion for federal cybersecurity and technology modernization programs in its version of President Biden ’s proposed COVID-19 relief package. The funds fall short of the more than $10 billion originally proposed by Biden in his American Rescue Plan, but far more than the House included in the version it approved along party lines earlier this week. The House stripped out Biden’s proposed funds for these areas. The Senate included $1 billion for the General Service Administration’s Technology Modernization Fund, a fraction of Biden’s originally proposed $9 billion for the fund, which is intended to help the federal government launch new cyber and information technology programs. ADVERTISEMENT The Senate also included $650 million to help the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) increase its risk mitigation services. While this was less than the $690 million Biden has proposed for CISA, the Senate did include … [Read more...] about Senate includes nearly $2 billion in cyber, tech funds to COVID-19 bill

Twenty attorneys general signed a letter addressed to House and Senate leaders pleading against H.R. 1, which the Democrat-led House passed on party lines late Wednesday evening, deeming it unconstitutional as it sets what they described as “alarming mandates,” leading to the federalization of state elections.

Skip Bayless Finally Says Something Smart – Makes Great College Football Pick
Fox Sports pundit Skip Bayless predicted Wisconsin will beat Ohio State for the Big Ten championship. The outspoken Bayless recently said the following on his show “Undisputed”: I got Wisconsin in this game, which will eliminate all this hocus pocus about Alabama…The last three weeks I watched them crush Iowa, I watched them beat Michigan soundly and I watched them go to Minnesota. Minnesota’s not bad and they just crushed them 31 to nothing. This is a really good college football team that is extremely well coached on both sides of the ball. It’s the number two defense in efficiency in the country, and Alex Hornibrook is a very good college quarterback. Nice to see Bayless has finally come around and is not talking about some common sense sports points. It’s been a long time coming, but I’d like to personally welcome him to the team. Glad to have one of the most notable guys in sports on the team. Most people in the sports media aren’t taking my guys in Madison … [Read more...] about Skip Bayless Finally Says Something Smart – Makes Great College Football Pick
