The POTUS has issued a memo ordering a federal investigation into Chris Krebs, former head of DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The president fired Krebs after the CISA director declared the 2020 election that Trump lost was the most secure in U.S. history. "Trump's orders revoked the security clearances for Christopher Krebs, the former head of DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and Miles Taylor, a former senior DHS official who wrote a highly critical tell-all book about his time in Trump's first administration." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/09/trump-orders-probe-krebs-2020-election/83016002007/ When Trump first took aim at Chris Krebs back in 2020, I started getting tons of hate mail that was directed at him. People full of ignorant rage figuring we're the same person because we share a last name. We're not even related. Now it's happening again. Here's one I just got less than an hour ago: From: Eric <eticket@countermail.com> Subject: Accountability Message Body: Krebs: I used to be an admirer of yours but, ever since the 2020 election, I lost all respect for you. You either lied or were complicit in the 2020 election theft and DJT is coming after you. Krooks like Krebs need to be held accountable and I can't wait.

Imagine being so drunk on the Kool-Aide that you can't listen to someone trying to help your company. Reached out to an executive at a manufacturing company about a security issue, and their reply was: "I'd like to help you. However, in checking out your website it is clear you suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. I don't like the guy but he is our President and a refreshing change from a mentally incapacitated do nothing President." Oh well, I tried.
