'BradCast' 10/27/2017: ('A Clear and Present Danger')
b"First up today, a number of follow-up details about the election server computer that was mysteriously 'wiped clean' in Georgia, just after a lawsuit was filed questioning whether results were electronically manipulated in some fashion during last year's Presidential election and this year's U.S. House Special Election in the Georgia's 6th Congressional District. Both contests were run on Georgia's 100% unverifiable Diebold touch-screen systems and tabulators, and programmed by Kennesaw State University's Center for Elections. As AP reported on Thursday, the Center, after 15 years running the state's elections, has now completely deleted the server that had been used for programming, including its two back-up servers.\\xa0 Questions remain over whether the FBI might have an "image" copy of that server; officials are calling for a criminal investigation, and nobody yet knows who ordered the computer hard drives to be completely wiped and "degaussed three times".

A Military Times poll finds Trump is unpopular among military officers, but somewhat more popular among enlisted troops. Defense Sec. James Mattis is wildly popular among everybody in the military, though he may be less so, of late, with Donald Trump. Mattis spoke with troops in South Korea and called for "diplomatic" solutions in the potentially nuclear saber-rattling between Trump and North Korea. Democrats in the U.S. Senate file legislation to keep Trump from launching a pre-emptive strike -- "conventional or nuclear" -- with North Korea, in hopes of forcing him to follow the Constitution. Trump calls Silicon Valley billionaire Tom Steyer "wacky" and "totally unhinged" in response responds to Steyer's $10 million NeedToImpeach.com ad describing the President as "a clear and present danger". Speaking of "wacky" and "unhinged": Roy Moore, the twice-disgraced, far-right Republican former Alabama Supreme Court Justice endorsed by Trump in Alabama's U.S. Senate special election coming up in December, claims the U.S. Supreme Court's 'Obergefell' ruling legalizing same-sex marriage is "even worse" than the Court's 1857 'Dredd Scott' opinion that legalized slavery and helped lead to the Civil War..."
