Noosehim
I told my boyfriend that I can’t watch governor Newsom because he’s too good looking. I can’t focus on what he’s saying. I told him so I have to rely on your interpretation. My boyfriend said he tries to tell other states what to do even though he’s governor of California. And you can’t disagree with anything he says because he’s the governor of California. 
I suppose his only redeeming quality is his looks then.
And no my boyfriend didn’t mind that I said that about Newsom. He’s secure in himself. I’m actually the one ashamed of myself that I can’t even focus on a word he says because he’s beautiful. I’m a sucker for beauty.

It's officially Ron DeSantis...
I've been saying this for more than a year now, but today Ron DeSantis made it official and is running for president.
In my last blog about Ron, one of his associates filed an amendment to allow him to campaign and not have to quit his job as governor. Ken commented to that blog saying it was common practice. Maybe so, but Ron is going against Donald J. Trump and if the slightest crack existed, Trump would bring it up.
My questions is: Where does Ron get to draw the line of using Florida taxpayer money versus campaign funds to travel across the country? He's already been running around as though he made the announcement weeks ago.
Governor Ron "Have your cake and eat it too" DeSantis...

Governor Ron "Have your cake and eat it too" DeSantis...
Straight mean people.
I am so sick of Sexist, Racist, Homophobic, and Transphobic people.
I thought so much that Quebec was bad, but it seems at times, that the hate for those issues are absolutely everywhere I turn.
It's so wrong, and so bad and I'm so sick of it.
My point - why can't certain people let others live their lifestyle how they want to. It's so Sad.

DeSantis: Governor and presidential candidate at the same time...
I'm reading a story tonight that states a Florida lawmaker is introducing an amendment that would allow Governor Ron DeSantis to run for president of the United States and not have to resign his position as governor of Florida.
Isn't that a case of having your cake and eating it too!
Currently, any politician holding office who decides to run for president must resign that position. My guess is it's because you're out on the campaign trail day and night and not at your office serving the people who voted you there.
So, the 'strike-all' amendment was filed earlier today by Republican senator Travis Hutson, whom DeSantis endorsed last year.
If passed, that assures DeSantis can hold on to his position of Florida's governor and be allowed to campaign should he decide to run for president in 2024 and not get the party's nomination and win the election. Sound right?
My, my Ron... what perfect timing you have.

Always the reader comments are classic:
Richard:
"What good is a law when you can change it on a whim? Would they do that if a Democrat was governor? When you have a body that will change laws to placate one person you aren't far from a dictatorship."
Scott:
"GOP gamesmanship: If you can't win with the cards you're dealt, stack the deck."
Stephen:
"Is he getting a state salary while out politicking???"
AB:
"Also known as the "I don't have a lot of confidence in my chances to win the Presidential election, so I want to keep my old job just in case" bill."
Mystery Team:
"I think the books covering Florida Law have tripled in volume since this guy took office. So much for smaller government."

RUSSIAN SPY TRAWLERS IN NORTH SEA
Apparently there are fishing trawlers in the North sea occupied by Russian spies who are mapping the energy supplies to UK. Wind farms etc. No doubt they are planning some kind of cyber attack as part of their revenge for the sanctions on Russia. The government is aware of this and so it will be interesting to see how the situation developes.
One Belt and Road Initiative growing stronger
Pakistan’s top court directs central bank to issue funds for snap polls
The parliament had on Thursday (13) ruled it wasn’t possible to spare Rs 21 billion ($74.79 million) in funds for the snap polls, which the court had ordered.
Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial had summoned officials from the finance ministry, the central bank and the Election Commision of Pakistan (ECP) to his chamber on Friday to seek a reply on the funds, warning that non-compliance would have consequences.
The parliament had on Thursday (13) ruled it wasn’t possible to spare Rs 21 billion ($74.79 million) in funds for the snap polls, which the court had ordered.
The court order said the chief justice directed the central bank’s acting governor and the finance ministry to coordinate and “forthwith allocate and release” the money from federal consolidated funds no later than April 17.
China spent £194.97 billion rescuing ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ nations, says study
Argentina was the largest beneficiary, receiving £90.80bn, equivalent to $111.8bn, followed by Pakistan with £39.39 ($48.5bn) and Egypt with £12.67 ($15.6bn)
Countries have received bailouts to extend loans and remain solvent. China claims over 150 countries have joined the trillion-dollar BRI infrastructure initiative launched by President Xi Jinping ten years ago.
According to Beijing, the objective of the initiative is to strengthen friendly trade ties with other countries, especially those in the developing world.
Japan, India, France to announce launch of Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring negotiation process
Sri Lanka confident of Chinese support in debt restructuring: central bank chief
The central bank chief of the crisis-hit South Asian country said Sri Lanka is optimistic of China’s continued support, pointing to how Beijing “did the right thing in giving Sri Lanka financing assurances last time”.
“I think this is probably the first time China has given it that fast,” he said.
With the help of the International Monetary Fund and other partners who also helped share information, said Weerasinghe, the debt restructuring process can continue.
“Obviously China is a country that has been helping Sri Lanka for a long time and [it has[ invested a lot [in Sri Lanka]. [It will be in the] best interest of both China and Sri Lanka to complete this process soon and we can get back to repaying our debt service obligations,” he said.
“Sooner the better for both countries,” he added.
In February, China’s Exim Bank gave Sri Lanka a two-year moratorium on its defaulted loans and said it would discuss additional re-structuring within that ‘window’.
In early March, Sri Lanka secured a 2.9 billion dollar extended fund facility from the IMF after obtaining assurances of support from China.

They're not coming after me, they're coming after you...
Trump is on the campaign trail and staged a rally in Waco, Texas where it's reported his speech was filled with lies. He condemned Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and told his followers "They're not coming after me, they're coming after you."
How so Donald? You're the one who had an affair with a porn star and paid hush-money. The American public had nothing to do with it.
He predicted with warnings of “death and destruction” and called for his supporters protest should he be indicted.
Right... I get it. If HE is found guilty, THEY should protest.
His logic is flawed, but his followers don't complain.
