Presidential historian and author Jon Meacham shares how the Founding Fathers knew that a President like Trump was always a possibility and the best ways to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
Governor Newsom: PLEASE LISTEN BEFORE THE MIDTERMS: No more easily tampered with tech within our elections. We MUST follow Canada’s stellar paper ballot system that allowed them to elect Mark Carney. You CAN achieve this as you achieved Prop 50 with voter help. It is IMPERATIVE that you get this done NOW. Gather all righteous Dem governors and get it done. Please, Sir. It is LUDICROUS that we would have a corrupt candidate’s daughter commissioning manufacturing and trademarks on VOTING MACHINES from a communist country. But that is exactly what transpired.
“In 2018, Ivanka Trump’s company,
Ivanka Trump Marks LLC, was granted 16 provisional trademarks in China, which notably included "voting machines," alongside fashion accessories, sausage casings, and nursing homes. These applications were filed in 2016 and approved by China during her time as a White House advisor.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington +2
Key Details
Approval Timing: The approvals were announced in November 2018, shortly after she announced the closure of her brand to focus on government work, and while her father was engaged in a trade war with China.
Broad Applications: Intellectual property lawyers noted that the "voting machines" trademark was likely part of a broad filing strategy designed to protect the brand name across various categories (electronics/gadgets), rather than an indication of intent to manufacture them.
"Defunct" Status: While the brand was shutting down, the trademark applications proceeded, leading to ethics questions regarding potential conflicts of interest and the appearance of the Chinese government granting favors.
No Evidence of Sale: There is no evidence that Ivanka Trump or her brand ever produced, sold, or used voting machines.
CNBC +5
The trademarks were part of a larger, "scattershot" effort to secure intellectual property rights in China, a common practice to prevent trademark squatting. ”
Re: Defunct status and no manufacturing: I CALL BS.
Governor Newsom, with all due respect: We ALL ALREADY KNOW that Trump is an asshole. You are preaching to the choir here, Sir. Proactive action to topple this evil regime is required now before he throws us into WWIII, which he is attempting this WEEK (Thursday).

Subject: National Security Concern – Advanced Semiconductor Exports
I am writing to raise a national security concern regarding the sale of advanced semiconductor chips to China.
Advanced AI chips are not ordinary commercial products. They are critical technologies used in artificial intelligence, military simulations, cyber operations, surveillance systems, and advanced weapons development. Allowing these chips to be sold to a strategic competitor risks accelerating their military and technological capabilities.
There is also a serious risk that once these chips enter China, they could be reverse-engineered, copied, or diverted through secondary markets to other adversarial regimes such as Russia or North Korea. History shows that once advanced technology enters global supply chains, controlling its ultimate destination becomes extremely difficult.
The United States currently holds a significant advantage in advanced semiconductor design. Preserving that technological edge is essential for national security, economic competitiveness, and long-term strategic stability.
I urge Congress to carefully evaluate policies that allow the export of advanced chips to strategic rivals and to prioritize protecting America’s technological leadership.
Thank you for your attention to this issue and for your service.
As I was saying, I’m fairly new on substack but I ran across a writer or whatever he pretends to be called Gavin Rocks. It blue my mind how stupid this guy is. He uses a pic with your likeness which is so close that it should not be aloud. He posts videos from that handle that are totally and obviously false. I am currently an east coaster, but born in CA with family there, and very concerned about the defamation and assault to your political efforts in the future were this to continue. Misinformation is rampant everywhere and if, in the future, you set yourself as a possible candidate for a national office, how am I ever to make an informed decision when I vote?
