Pennsylvanian politicians are in a tizzy over hackers messing with the water system in their state. Three liberal lawmakers, Sens. John Fetterman and Bob Casey, and Rep. Chris Deluzio, all from the Democratic party, are crying out for the feds to step in and take action after the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa got hacked. They’re acting like it’s the end of the world, but come on, the water system didn’t even shut down!

The liberals are making a big fuss, saying this hack could happen anywhere and that it’s a threat to national security. Give me a break. It’s not like the aliens from Independence Day are attacking! The feds are already on it, so there’s no need for the hysterics.
And get a load of this – they’re blaming the whole thing on a group called Cyber Av3ngers, claiming it’s linked to Iran and targeting Israeli technology. The hackers left a message saying “down with Israel” on a water pressure monitor that was made in Israel. So what? Are we supposed to be shocked that a foreign group doesn’t like a U.S. ally? This isn’t exactly breaking news.
Even though the water system wasn’t seriously affected, the politicians are making it sound like the biggest crisis since the asteroid nearly wiped out the dinosaurs! The security officials are looking into it, and the water authority kept things running smoothly by handling operations manually. So, really, what’s the big deal?
At the end of the day, it looks like the Democrats are just trying to stir up fear and panic for their own political gain. It’s no wonder they’re always crying wolf when they can’t get their way.
