As always was always amazing about these stories is white why to be white of you may now on the cusp ofn getting meaty a female president , why only now is the types of tide is slowly turning on the legalization of marriage . Its like it seems like we have these kind of moral insights but the gap between the site and the practical demonstration of that insight can be decades. I guess the task is to try to change that gap. It still amazes me. You know, if you look at the list of major northwestern dutch major countries in the world we are one of the few that has not had a female head of state. Its astonishing. Even countries that you wouldnt have thought would have beaten us to the punch. Sure. Youve already accomplished such an impressive body of work. I am impressive is one particular work that you are most proud of but also one that you might have instructed differently or to be updated. Are you asking me if i have regrets . [laughter] im not going to sing for you if thats what youre
The Nuclear Weapons laboratories at the department of energy as well as pentagon. Nih, departments of commerce, treasury, state, homeland security, its a lot. Several nongovernmental organizations also came under attack were told. Today in moskow and to the surprise of no one putin denied any involvement in any hacking of u. S. Targets. The Russian Hackers have never interfered in the elections. They have never helped trump get elected. This is all just wild conjecture. This is just a pretext to try to sour the relations between russia and the u. S. Still nothing from the outgoing president about any of this as we said. But president elect biden did issue a statement that read in part and we, quote, i want to be clear my administration will make Cyber Security a top priority at every level of government, and we will make dealing with this breach a top priority from the moment we take office.

We almost always get what we think were going to get but then theres always Something Else that follows on. And one is, the behavior of voters with an expectation, particularly in an era of egovernment. Why shouldnt my records and ballots be available where ever i choose to go . The second thing, and military installations if you want to improve the child halls, the general always makes the food better.
