Maybe he read my post on how to fix our elections in three easy steps. Here is how it should work. Please repost to get the word out.

1. Change Presidents Day to November and make it also Election Day. No need to add another Federal holiday to the calendar.

2. Delete all voter roles in each State, and US Territory. Require all citizens to reregister. Easier, faster, and more secure than relying on the Secretary of Elections to scrub the voter roles this time around. Fraud caries a 13 month Federal prison sentence each occurrence. Take old voter roles and compare them to the new one to find the true amount of fraud in each State, and Territory. Results to be published by all news outlets within one week of the results being obtained.

3. Voter ID and proof of citizenship required. All ballots to be on paper, and maintained for 54 months for audit purposes following an election. Ballots to contain a barcode that is individually numbered so that each ballot can only to be scanned once. Ballots to contain the ID of the printing company and batch number. Any residence receiving more than four ballots will be verified by election officials. Each state will ensure they send ballots to all servicemembers deployed or stationed out of their home state that requests a ballot. It will not be up to the Federal Government, but service members home state to supply servicemembers with ballots. Voter roles will be scrubbed at a minimum of every two years by all states and US Territories. All votes will be counted within 24 hours following the closing of the last polling location. No ballots will be cured. Any mail in ballot not properly completed i.e. signed, dated, etc. will not be counted and will be set aside as an invalid ballot.

Spännande att valet 2026 kommer handla om synen på SD. En fråga som fått alldeles för lite utrymme i svensk politik.

Today we have heard some outstanding speeches from NATO ally leaders. However, this one from the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, was the one that spoke to me for sure.

I think it’s time to stop pretending to ourselves that the U.S. is anything but an impediment to solving this existential threat, to the welfare and safety of all our citizens.

Let me quote Sun Tzu's The Art of War. ‘All warfare is based on deception’ and for sure, Putin has waged a war of deception. He projected the historical power of the mighty Red army in a bid to quickly overrun Ukraine. He attempted to do it with untrained poorly equipped troops, on out of date rations.

Putin rolled the dice thinking NATO would not commit troops to help defend Ukraine and he was right. What he didn’t plan for, was the lion spirit of the Ukrainian people and the ingenuity of their military engineers. Their work with drones and sea drones has redefined battlefield strategy. Once allies started providing javelin anti-tank missiles and supporting artillery, the game changed. They prevented the Russians from achieving air superiority? And the Russian Black Sea Fleet had to retreat from port.

It is testament to the Ukrainian army and air force, Russia has been held back against all the odds. Let’s be clear, the military has achieved what it has, not because of us, but in-spite of us. We have only given them enough weapons to hold the bear back, not to evict it. There were constant delays, waiting on artillery shells, HIMARS and ATACMS, as well as tanks and F16s.

WE HAVE LET THEM DOWN. Yet these brave men and women have innovated and made do, to defend not only their country, but our borders too. WE OWE THEM BIG TIME. Not with words and sympathy, but with the proper tools to get the job done.

America has disgracefully walked away and aligned with our enemy. The U.S. president’s pet, Elon Musk along with JD Vance, have meanwhile actively supported far right political parties in Europe. Then Vance had the audacity to turn up and lecture us on our own doorstep. What was our answer? ‘Please don’t hurt us’.

This week, we see a slow procession of European leaders making the pilgrimage to the court of Mad King Don for a humiliation session. Pardon my French but ‘f*ck that’, it’s time to stand tall and tell Trump to ‘f*ck right off’ and if it were me. I’d tell him to take his airbases with him too and cancel all military arms contracts.

If he wants access to Ukrainian minerals that’s fine. Ukraine HAS NO DEBT with the U.S. They simply have the thanks of a grateful nation. There was no loan agreement. If he wants mineral rights, then provide an arms package as a down payment for future revenues. Leave the deal on the table for a week and if it’s not signed, pull the deal. Then they get nothing and in addition, no bids will be accepted from US companies for the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war. Now that’s the art of the deal.

As for NATO allies, Trump is walking away regardless, so Europe needs to get its act together NOW. Seize Russian assets and use the funds to fire up the European military industrial base. This will create jobs and growth, while capacity is expanded in all countries with an arms manufacturing capability.

In the meantime, we already have the ability, especially if Poland steps up, to defend against any increased Russian aggression. The British military has already said, if it were needed, we would meet that threat head on today. If this collective approach is taken, the Russian army in Ukraine could be crushed just as crushed the Iraqi army in Desert Storm.

It’s time to show the Americans their services are no longer required. Then when the war is over, we can look to promote the Euro as the new global reserve currency. No harm in ambition I say.

We need to believe in ourselves. It’s time to get the job done and show the world FAFO. There’s only one village idiot in this town and it’s not Zelenskyy.

I rest my case.

Can anybody explain to me what's the point of neovim? I installed it, and it's literally just repackaged vim, but with less responsive input and some toy scripting language for configuring. If I needed that I'd just use Emacs
