Oh and speaking of 'red' cents, this: last night I was watching SportCenter as I no longer watch any pro sports on TV. Anyway, did you see this? The Tampa Bay Bucs were playing...wait for it...wait...the Washington Football Team! Yeah, no longer the Redskins and no more logo.

Gimme a frickin' break. :screwy:
ESPN has been dead to me for almost 2 years now. Sports? Nope, don't need to watch multimillionaires telling me how bad it is for them. Both my grandfathers came over from Europe. One immediately went to work in the copper mines in the UP of Mi. Long days, filthy, always breathing smoke from the lanterns, died early. My other was a farm hand (you know, the kind of work that no American will do?), died early. Now, these guys that PLAY pro sports for millions a year have it bad?? They can take a hike. Hopefully their salaries choke on their choices to play politics instead of their sport...

Am I opening myself up to letting whatever page I sign into get hacked?
Who knows. But I can bet you that there are hackers out there right now making new browsers and social media sites that will be targeting those conservatives that are looking to leave the traditional browsers and sites. There is a lot of chatter on other forums just like what is being talked about here, people not wanting to use this browser or that because of a political statement. Same thing with social and news media. Be careful out there.

See, anything and everything is Trump's fault...


Quoting the guys father as the reason that the guy got arrested is Trump's fault...
“Now thanks to that man that I just despise, Donald Trump — who I did not vote for and did everything I could to make sure he would finally leave office — has served me up one last injustice by making sure my son got arrested so he could stick his pride out,” he said.

Sadly, I feel that you are on point. All the hackers you mentioned will probably be employed by the deep state before too long to utilize against conservative base.

So, I've take the plunge and installed Brave on my iPhone (only reason I still have it is b/c it's paid for plus, I'm not buying any further apps). I have enjoyed the speed thus far as well as the tracker and ad blocking. Also installed Brave on my laptop for the same reasons. However, I have noticed an option, "Private Window + Tor". From what I read, Tor is supposed to bounce your information between several servers in order to eliminate anyone viewing what you are, plus it hides the public IP address of your network. I tried this out by going to google and trying to find my public IP address; the results gave some weird IP #, so it appears to be working.
However, since I am not really familiar with Tor, is this a safe practice? For example, if I go to online banking, should I entrust my information being popped back and forth between their servers? Am I opening myself up to letting whatever page I sign into get hacked?
Tor is a huge proxy service with servers all over the world. I use Brave in a private Tor window at work to get around an extensive and expensive firewall. I logged into FB in a Tor window-- and FB asked me on my phone to verify the "suspicious login from Genoa Italy" on my account. :) ;) No cookies or browser history will be stored from a private window so I have to do the 2-stage authentication each time, but that's OK.

“We have taken the destructive events at the Capitol to undermine a legitimate and fair election into consideration.....” Marriott spokeswoman Connie Kim said.

“We want you to be assured that we will not support candidates who do not respect the rule of law...." wrote Candi Wolff, who heads Citi’s global government affairs team.

What "legitimate and fair election"? So you're telling me the Dems, the crooked poll workers, the crooked State of GA, PA, MI, AZ, WI and NV (and other) officials DO "respect the rule of law"?

That is so much horse shit.... :poop::poop::poop::poop::poop::poop:

Just look up the meaning of hypocrisy and the first example should be.."the Democratic Party".

We need to make a sticky of all these woke, corrupt, socialist companies and avoid them like the plague:
I'll start with:
Yup, just filed a return on amazon, funny enough for an apple product. LOL

I will be cancelling my prime after my package is picked up.

@EMPIRETECANDY, sorry I won't be buying from your amazon store any more, but I will buy direct from you.

Every time you buy something from amazon you're feeding the beast. As a society we have to give up lower prices and convenience, or give up freedom when the beast gets big enough to control us.

Yes, and Andy is tops in my book :thumb:. Which is why I will continue to buy from him DIRECT. Nothing through amazon though.

Keep being the best Andy!

Thank you again to the folks running ipcamtalk for allowing all of us to express our opinions here, even those that don't agree with them. One of the few true pieces of America left on the web.
This is delusional, considering that any member who makes a post that doesn't suck Donald Trump's dick gets shouted down, ridiculed, and ultimately told by Fishey to "go fuck yourself" (as I doubt Fishey's oft-posted GFY means "good for you"). Sure seems like most everyone here can't tolerate any dissenting opinion, and that the lot of you need a safe place where the only opinions you hear echo how precious it is to be among your fellow Trump cocksucking Snowflakes. Apparently y'all have much in common with those Snowflake Democrats you revile so much who themselves can't tolerate any opinion which challenges their leftist agenda.

Let me beat you to it...go fuck your collective selves.

Your post just proves my point. You have not been removed from this site, despite your opposite viewpoints. No other member has been removed based on their viewpoints. You have not been censored. Your messages remain.

Can you say that about Twitter, FB, YouTube, or any other number of Lib sites out there, including most forums?

Nice try though.

Please keep in mind I’m a fairly new user, but had a question. I’ve seen some cameras on what I think is Andy’s page on Amazon. If I were to decide on a camera, where do you buy direct from him to avoid the Amazon bs?
