😳‼️Shocking documents reveal that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention purchased cellphone data on millions of Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure they complied with pandemic-related restrictions.

Motherboard, a technology news website, reported Tuesday that CDC documents show the agency spent $420,000 last year to purchase cellphone location data harvested from tens of million Americans.

The data was purchased from SafeGraph, which Motherboard described as a "highly controversial data broker." The information was "derived from at least 20 million active cellphone users per day across the United States". It provided "extremely accurate insights related to age, gender, race, citizenship status, income, and more." The purchase gave the CDC access to the data for one year.

😳 Hunter Biden used a profane password on one of his laptops, according to John Paul Mac Isaac, owner of the repair shop where the US first son left his computer.

🤔 According to an excerpt of the book obtained by the New York Post, Joe Biden's son needed the data recovered off the three laptops, since they all had "liquid damage and won’t turn on”. When Isaac asked for password to log in, Hunter burst into laughter and said:

🥴 “‘My password is f**ked up. Don’t be offended!’ he said", according to the book, which adds that Biden then allegedly disclosed that the password was “‘analf**k69’ or something to that extent.”

❗️ Transnistria says drone has dropped explosive devices causing blast near Ukrainian border

🥴 US President Joe Biden has reiterated his debunked assertions that he has visited Afghanistan more than 50 times over the course of his long political career, while also apparently mixing up Iraq and Iran.

“I’ve been in and out of Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq, I mean Iraq over 50 times, 48 times, and now what we are doing in Ukraine. Been there. Tell you what, you make a gigantic difference,” POTUS told workers during a tour of United Performance Metals in Hamilton, Ohio on Friday.

The 46th US president has repeatedly made weird claims about the number of times he has visited Iraq and Afghanistan. In his State of the Union speech in March, Biden asserted that he had “been in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan over 40 times.”
