Chmod Calculator | Chmod Generator | Chmod Command

Chmod calculator allows you to quickly generate permissions in numerical and symbolic formats. All extra options are included (recursive, sticky, etc). You’ll be ready to copy paste your chmod command into your terminal in seconds.

Use the octal CHMOD Command:

chmod -R 777 folder_name

OR use the symbolic CHMOD Command:

chmod -R a+rwx folder_name

Chmod means ‘change mode’ and it changes file or directory mode bits (the way a file can be accessed). You can use chmod in the command line to change file or directory permissions on unix or unix-like systems such as linux or BSD.

After Settlement With Judicial Watch, Los Angeles County Still Mailing Ballots to Dead People

Former Acting National Director of Intelligence Richard Grenell, a California resident, tweeted a photo Friday of two ballots mailed to people who have been dead for more than 10 years and called for an investigation into Gov. Gavin Newsom’s election interference. Newsom issued an executive order mandating that every registered voter in California receive a ballot in the mail, even though a 2017 study found that 101 percent of the state’s residents of voting age were registered to vote. Clearly, the state’s voter rolls are bloated and inaccurate.

Noting that the address on the ballots in Grenell’s tweet in Redondo Beach, which is part of Los Angeles County, attorney Harmeet Dhillon quickly pointed out that the Los Angeles County had been sued by and entered into a settlement with Judicial Watch over its inaccurate voter rolls, in which the county pledged to purge more than a million “inactive” voters from their rolls. Since these two deceased people received ballots, does that mean that the county didn’t follow through on its agreement?

US Naval Academy’s Cancel Culture Targeted the Son of Two LA Police Dept Officers for Expulsion

The “Cancel Culture” is not only destroying America’s cultural history and institutions; it is destroying the lives of people, too. The Marxist Black Lives Matter seeks to demolish 250 years of American exceptionalism by exploiting white guilt for the sins of their fathers and pressing for destructive institutional changes throughout America. Their demand “defund the police” is but one example of their insane sloganeering. They are also hard at work institutionalizing the implementation of Marxist “critical race theory” training in all federal agencies, including the US military.

Of particular personal interest to me has been learning about and exposing efforts at the US Naval Academy to implement “critical race theory” precepts throughout the Brigade of Midshipmen, as I previously detailed in this article by quoting directly from an internal email to staff sent by the USNA superintendent himself, VADM Sean Buck, USN, just days after the Office of Manpower and Budgeting signed out a memorandum directing all federal agencies to end critical race theory training.

As despicable as that email was, I was unprepared to learn that the wrath of the USNA cancel culture – which includes USNA leadership – has targeted a first-class midshipman (a senior, for you civilians) for termination for making comments from his Twitter account that were alleged to be racist,

Verizon Launches Unlimited 4G Home Internet for Rural Users: Here Are the Maps | PCMag

Last week Verizon launched its own option across the US, and its prospect is more compelling because it's much more widely available. Verizon's rural home LTE is truly unlimited, with speeds averaging 25Mbps, the carrier said. It costs $40/month for people with Verizon Wireless service, and $60/month for people without. You need to buy a $240 router. //

What's best, Verizon gave a list of ZIP codes where rural home LTE is available.

New Possibility as to Virus Exposure to White House Officials Puts Media on the Hot Seat

The White House Press Corps had three members diagnosed with the virus last week on Friday, according to CNN. So the reporters had it before McEnany did, so it’s more likely she got it from them. Three coming down with it and a White House staffer who sits in the lower press area and has close contact with reporters also getting it suggests that’s where a concentration might be.

But the WHCA gave more detail in a memo to correspondents.

“We are writing to let you know that another member of our press corps tested positive today for COVID-19,” the memo said. “This individual was last at the White House on Saturday and subsequently traveled on Air Force One to Pennsylvania. The individual began experiencing COVID-19 symptoms yesterday.”

A third memo, at 3:35 p.m., said that a third member of the press corps has tested positive.
The individual was at the White House last Saturday and Sunday, and “began experiencing minor symptoms late Wednesday.”

So two of them were at the White House on Saturday, the day of the ACB event, and one was also there on Sunday. Then one was also on Air Force One with Trump on the trip to Pennsylvania.

So not only might they have passed it on to the staffer, they might have passed it on to others as well, including Trump. //

“Due to cases linked to the pools last weekend and the large number of press credentialed for the 9/26 Rose Garden event, we ask that if you were on the White House grounds or in the pools those days, that you pay extra attention to any changes in your health,” said WHCA President Zeke Miller.

Andrew Cuomo Threatens To Shut Down New York Synagogues Unless They Worship the Wuhan Virus Regulations

“I have to say to the Orthodox community tomorrow, ‘If you’re not willing to live with these rules, then I’m going to close the synagogues.'” //

Cuomo’s threat to close synagogues is wrong. It should be unacceptable. In a healthy and functioning society, a governor threatening a particular faith with having the power of the state brought down upon them to force them to worship according to the diktat of the governor would be met with condemnation and disobedience.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Strikes Down Rewrite of State Election Law by District Court Judge — The Battle Is Joined

The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is granted in part, and the district court’s September 18, 2020 order granting a preliminary injunction is stayed pending disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought.

In no uncertain terms that means that Judge Childs order will not be enforced until after the Sixth Circuit has heard and decided the appeal of her Order by election officials in South Carolina. That won’t be happening in only four weeks — but just in case it does, the order won’t go into effect if upheld until disposition on a petition for writ of certiorari is heard and disposed of in the Supreme Court — and that is CERTAIN to not happen in the next four weeks.

Know Your History: Critical Race Theory Is an Old Marxist Plot

Critical race theory is the idea that there are irreconsilable differences between races due to inequalities that exist in our society. Unsurprisingly, there’s only one way to fix it, and you can probably guess what that is.

The idea of critical race theory is just a branch of critical theory, and recently National Review authors Lindsey Burke and Mike Gonzolez wrote about its origins:

Simply put, Critical Theory amounts to an unremitting attack on all of America’s norms and traditions. The goal is to replace them with a “counter-narrative” that will introduce a more leftist model of governing. Critical Theory is the main philosophical school in the identity politics of today.

The concept goes back to 1937, when the second director of Germany’s Frankfurt School, Max Horkheimer, published the school’s manifesto, “Traditional and Critical Theory.” This group of Marxist academics had started out in Frankfurt, but by 1937, they were safely ensconced at Columbia University, having fled the Third Reich.

Traditional theory, Horkheimer claimed, fetishized knowledge and objectivity. Critical theory, its opposite, held that there were no universal truths and man could not be objective. Instead of truths, there were competing narratives, and it was the job of the Left to impose its own. This relativism in itself was nothing less than an assault on Western civilization.

We see this dynamic in its starkest form in the New York Times’ 1619 Project, which attempts to replace 1776 and the “All Men Are Created Equal” ethos of America with 1619, the year slaves were first brought to what is today the United States. It puts slavery, not the ideal of equality, at the center of our nation’s storyline. //

All critical theory roads lead to Marxist systems, including critical race theory. No matter what the problem is, the answer is Marxism. //

For this election, critical theory, specifically critical race theory, has taken center stage. We’re told that America has a supremely racist past and that all its accomplishments only happened because of the blood, sweat, and tears of slaves brought from Africa.

It’s undeniable that slavery was a part of American history and had some effect on its progression, but to say that it’s the crux of its success is patently absurd. We may as well say that America’s part in beating back the Nazi threat or going to the moon was all thanks to slavery.

Men fought and died to end slavery, and fought the left again in order to give the black population in American equal rights. America worked from day one to make sure slavery would one day meet its end and that all men would be treated equally as America’s founding ideal entailed. //

The unbelievable story that is America is a story of a nation whose contributions to the world far outweigh its sins, but the Marxists who wish to bring the successful system that America bases itself on crashing to the ground so they can implement a more socialistic or communistic one would have you believe that America is nothing but its sins.
