    Biden Team Gears Up to Drop a Collection of Embarrassing Kamala Stories After Her Book

    Inside the Biden Camp: The Harris Showdown

    What’s Brewing?

    Steve Watson of Modernity.news reports that the president’s inner circle is getting ready to spill the beans about how Vice President Kamala Harris fared. The plan comes into play if her upcoming book casts Biden in a not-so-flattering light.

    • Harris’s VP record isn’t spotless—there are a few wrinkles.
    • The book could rewrite the narrative, affecting how Biden is viewed.
    • Those close to the president want to control the story before it goes viral.

    Inside the Wicked Whisper: When the Biden Brigade Goes Rogue

    Mark Halperin is spinning a new yarn that Biden’s inner circle is sitting on a treasure trove of juicy tidbits about Vice‑President Harris. According to the veteran journalist, these “Palinesque” stories are waiting to be unleashed—truly a piece of drama for the ages. The plot thickens when it comes to a subtle threat: should Harris start throwing shade at Joe Biden’s cognitive headspace, the whole enchilada will pop out of the speaker’s chair.

    What the “Palinesque” Edition Holds

    • Vise‑Presidential Trials: The Biden team allegedly tried exhausting every tactic to get Harris ready for the role, even if that meant boarding a “tight‑rope” routine to keep her perform.
    • Dark Footprints: Once the big man feels cornered, these stories will paint Harris’s vice‑presidential debut in a not so flattering light, pulling no punches.
    • Escalation Alert: The whistle‑blower claims this is not a minor spat; it could become the most explosive viral saga yet.

    Meanwhile, Money Talks at the White House

    Adding fuel to the fire, Mike Donilon, one of Biden’s top aides, allegedly siphoned a whopping $4 million off the federal coffers in 2024 alone. That’s a handsome paycheck when you’re managing the entire country.

    And if the 2024 gamble pays off, rumors say Donilon was lined up for another $4 million. The numbers are staggering enough to make even the most skeptical news desk raise an eyebrow.

    Why the Cover‑Up?

    Sure, Biden’s supporters might hide the stories from the press so that the circus stay in camp — but that raises big questions about who’s really in control.

    Bottom Line

    As the drama unfolds, voters will keep a closer eye on who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes. Buckle up: this saga might get more twists than a season finale of your favorite politics show.

  • Electronic Arts blocks more than 300,000 attempts to cheat after launching Battlefield 6 beta

    Games giant Electronic Arts launched an open beta over the weekend for its upcoming first-person shooter Battlefield 6, and — almost immediately — the game was swamped with cheaters.

    Soon after the game’s launch, countless players complained online about encountering cheaters. In response, a member of Electronic Arts’ anti-cheat team, which goes by AC, wrote in an official forum that the company saw players report 104,000 “instances of potential cheaters” over the first two days of the game’s being online, and that it stopped 330,000 “attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls.” 

    Like many video games today, such as Valorant, Electronic Arts uses a kernel-level anti-cheat system called Javelin, which means the system has the highest possible privileges on the computer. This allows it to monitor everything that happens on the machine with the goal of catching cheats, which are often running in the background and disguised as some other program.

    In their post, AC admitted that this system is not a guarantee that there will be no cheaters. AC also referred to the fact that the game enforces Secure Boot, a Windows hardware-based security feature. 

    “On Secure Boot, I want to be clear that Secure Boot is not, and was not intended to be a silver bullet,” AC wrote. “Secure Boot is how you’re helping us build up our arsenal. It’s another barrier that helps us make it harder for cheat developers to create cheat programs, and makes it easier for us to detect it when they do.”

    “Anti-Cheat isn’t one and done, it’s an ever evolving battlefield, and what has worked for us previously or in different games doesn’t always work in all of them,” AC added. 

    An Electronic Arts spokesperson told TechCrunch that the company has no updated information on the numbers of players who were banned.

    Cheaters or game hackers are a problem for every online video game. In recent times, companies like Riot Games, makers of Valorant, and Activision, the makers of the Call of Duty series, among others, have launched kernel-level anti-cheat systems. 

    Phillip Koskinas, the director and head of anti-cheat for Riot Games, told TechCrunch earlier this year, there are several ways in which his anti-cheat system goes after cheaters, as well as cheat makers and sellers. Those include banning cheaters, taking advantage of Windows’ own security features to limit where cheats can run, fingerprinting cheaters’ hardware so they can’t just create a new fresh account to cheat with, and even infiltrating cheat communities on Discord or Telegram.
