Saw the Telegram news over the weekend on various platforms and it is definitely concerning that France has opted to "detain" the CEO. It definitely reads like "that's a nice platform you got there, it would be a shame if anything were to happen to it because you wouldn't give us the keys to the kingdom". It will be interesting to see what charges are dreamed up to actually make an arrest or otherwise further the blackmail. I have seen that several big names have been coming to the defense, though, so there's still some chance for this to just be a good reason to mock France.

Great news about Georgia and hopefully all of that stands (and grows). It's crazy that people who just want honest/fair elections are constantly made into the bad guys and that so many just accept that without question. Now if we can just get back to "everyone votes on the same day - with ID - with paper - with hand-counts", there might be a chance for some true honesty. Of course, we'd likely have to deal with the real voter intimidation at that point, especially these days, but using paper would be interesting.

I saw rumors that the Biden admin yanked RFK's SS protection after he started backing Trump, but is still on the ballot. No idea if that's true or not, but wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

Rumor true...SS protection pulled.

I suppose their excuse is he "suspended" his campaign.

Even though he's going to still be on the ballot in 30 states.

I suppose since he will be campaigning with/for Trump now, he's on his own for his personal security again, which might just be a blessing in disguise?

He's safer with his own security.

Agree. After what happened in Butler, I wouldn't trust any security provided by the government for Trump or Kennedy.

One of his best buds and top donors is Gavin de Becker. So I'm guessing he has it covered.

I saw Gavin de Becker do an interview many years ago. And this important piece of information always stuck with me. He stated, "never let them take you to a secondary location."

Meaning that if they do, you are dead for sure.

I read “The Gift of Fear” years ago. Must reading for every female and I guess for everybody.

Women are taught to be too nice and not trust their gut instinct.

I wasn't familiar with Gavin but yesterday after seeing RK's tweet about more interesting support is coming I started pulling up his top donors. Curious who else he has that's coming along. I would think it's not a politician like Tulsi so it will be interesting to see.

They are truly evil.

I tried to think of it positively. Maybe a private security detail is safer.
