While going through emails I received for a records request I made to WA SOS, I found some conversation about an election security bill. This one refers to how election systems across the country have internet connectivity capabilities.
Imagine my surprise.
We've been saying this, but maybe more people will listen when they say it themselves...

“In his world, the main “sticking point”, which has caused years of discord resulting in estrangement from his kin, is “the security issue”. For the rest of the world, and most of his family, it is about so much more. Not least his tell-all book, Spare, so damning of his father, his brother, his stepmother and their teams but also the Sussexes’ numerous interviews airing the grievances that have removed the last shreds of trust that any family communications could ever remain private.
Plus the desperately sad reality that, as Harry said on Friday, the King is unlikely to see his grandchildren — Archie, who turns six on Tuesday, and Lilibet, three — any time soon, if ever again, save for a glimpse of the back of a head or the sound of a few words on Meghan’s Instagram. “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point,” he said. “And the things they’re going to miss, well, everything.”
A sliver of self-awareness of the damage done, hinted that even Harry himself knows deep down, that reconciliation is now a lost cause: “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive lots of things. But I would love a reconciliation with my family.”
How has all this gone down with the King and the royal family? As a close friend of Charles’s says: “Harry just sees conspiracy every time a decision doesn’t go in his direction. He is like a gambler in a casino who can’t walk away — he just doubles down. Even when he speaks of reconciliation, it is laced with threats and anger.
“It’s not that the King won’t speak to him — it’s that he can’t. How can you have a private and delicate conversation when you know it is going to end up on a news special within hours? Perhaps if he tried to earn rather than demand a reconciliation, things might go a little better for him. It’s just very tragic.””

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has floated a proposal for alliance members to raise defense spending to 3.5% of GDP, with an additional 1.5% allocated to broader security-related investments. The plan is viewed as a potential compromise to meet President Trump’s demand for a 5% spending commitment—without requiring members to hit that target strictly through military budgets.

Why would Trump have to when no one else does? Is the Constitution even in effect?

“The episode has left some senior White House officials questioning the need for a traditional National Security Council and content to leave Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whom Trump on Thursday named as Waltz’s interim replacement, in a caretaker role for quite some time, a decision that will likely diminish an institution that has had a powerful role in shaping the foreign policy of modern presidencies. And it sidelines a key figure in the White House with a long track record of favoring military intervention, officials said. Trump has nominated Waltz to be his ambassador to the United Nations, so he will remain in government.
Waltz’s troubles built up over time, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles increasingly felt he was not a good fit for the president, according to a senior White House official, a Trump adviser and one additional person familiar with the matter on Friday. They and others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel considerations.”
__
“But Waltz also upset Trump after an Oval Office visit in early February by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when the national security adviser appeared to share the Israeli leader’s conviction that the time was ripe to strike Iran, two of the people said.
Waltz appeared to have engaged in intense coordination with Netanyahu about military options against Iran ahead of an Oval Office meeting between the Israeli leader and Trump, the two people said.”
__
““If Jim Baker was doing a side deal with the Saudis to subvert George H.W. Bush, you’d be fired,” a Trump adviser said, referring to Bush’s secretary of state. “You can’t do that. You work for the president of your country, not a president of another country.”
The change reduces the number of competing visions coming to a president who has been eager to make his mark at home and abroad. During his first term, Trump had little choice but to draw from traditional Republicans to stock his White House. Now, thanks to a broader generational shift within the Republican Party, a younger cohort has known no one but Trump as their standard-bearer. And the president himself has grown more focused on finding people loyal to him who will execute his plans.”

““Trade should not be a weapon,” said Buffett. He also said that “trade could be an act of war.”
“The United States won. I mean, we have become an incredibly important country, starting from nothing 250 years ago, there’s nothing that anything like it,” Buffett said.
Before Buffett spoke, Berkshire released its quarterly report, where it said tariffs could have a negative impact on its growth.
“Changes in macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical events, including changes in international trade policies and tariffs, may negatively affect our operating results and the values of our investments in equity securities and of our operating businesses,” Berkshire said Saturday in its quarterly note. “We are currently unable to reliably predict the nature, timing or magnitude of the potential economic consequences of any such changes or the impacts on our Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Under what conditions could Brian Kemp be legitimately supported by Trump? That would require legitimate elections and for Brian Kemp to have been working toward legitimate elections back in 2020 when he helped cement the “Biden win.”

“Senate Majority Leader John Thune, along with Sen. Tim Scott, who leads the Senate GOP campaign arm, flew down to Atlanta over the Easter recess to discuss a potential run with Kemp and his wife, Marty. And the Georgia governor has sounded out senators for their advice, including Nebraska Sen. Pete Ricketts, a former governor himself, and Sen. Steve Daines, who used to run the Senate GOP campaign arm.
And perhaps most importantly, Trump has spoken to Kemp about a potential Senate run — in February — when the nation’s governors were meeting in Washington, according to a source briefed on the conversation. While Trump made no commitments to Kemp, the fact that the president spoke with him has been viewed positively in GOP circles given that Trump lambasted the governor for years after Kemp refused to overturn the president’s 2020 election loss in Georgia.
“It’s a very personal decision, but we’re going to give him every reason to run,” Thune told CNN, noting that Kemp was looking “over his options” and consulting with his family. “We’re all in.”
In multiple instances, Trump and his team have signaled they want to put up the best candidates — not simply the biggest MAGA acolytes — in a critical show of cooperation for a party that has been hobbled by ugly infighting over candidates in recent years, including between Trump and the party establishment in the 2022 midterms, according to multiple GOP strategists briefed on recent discussions.”

“According to the report, Trump’s frustration with Waltz grew over time ahead of his firing. Two of the people who speak to The Post say that Waltz upset the president when he held “intense coordination” with Netanyahu on possible military options for Iran before their White House meeting in February.
Waltz “wanted to take US policy in a direction Trump wasn’t comfortable with because the US hadn’t attempted a diplomatic solution,” one of the sources says.
“It got back to Trump and the president wasn’t happy with it,” the person says.
Earlier in the week, Trump announced Waltz would be the next US ambassador to the United Nations, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio was named as his interim replacement.”

🇷🇺🇺🇦Medvedev threatened that “May 10th” may not come in Kyiv if there is a strike on Moscow on May 9th.
This is how the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council commented on Zelensky’s statement , in which he rejected Putin’s proposal for a truce and also stated that he could not guarantee the safety of world leaders in Moscow during the military parade.
“In the event of a real provocation on Victory Day, no one can guarantee that May 10 will come in Kiev,” Medvedev responded to this.
