WOW! She was totally unknown to me until this. Her position on the Wisconsin National guard not being deployed in Foreign wars is something I support 1,000%.
So many were deployed several times to the Iraq war and came back missing limbs. I was so disgusted! Our boys need to remain HERE.
I was supporting Mandela Barnes but I prefer her as a candidate now: The woman has something to say, and contrary to so many politicians, she's not nebulous or ambivalent about it.
From the details you give, it appears that she's studied the situation in depth.
Thanks, Ken. Your writings are always on point. It's blogs like yours that even the chances of good candidates and erase a money advantage.
Thanks for encouraging me to interview her! I didn’t think she’d have anything to say (no other politician really does on national security) but I was wrong. Very impressed with her answers
I hope you might consider doing this to/with all the candidates in every state. Ahh, well, that's a big project, and we need you to keep doing the journalism. Maybe someone will pick up this effort and you might publish it when they do!
My 2 adult children, same age as Fran convinced their 90+ grandparents to vote Francesca. I’m currently working on my brother, sister-in law, and niece, who are part of the dem establishment to vote Francesca. Then it’s on to my younger brother who voted for Trump to vote for Fran. She is crossing party lines especially on AI issues.
Francesca Hong is quoted as saying: "I believe in President Eisenhower's dream that we use 'Atoms for Peace' and orient all our magnificent scientific achievements toward aims that benefit all people." I share her priorities—if only we had someone like her running for governor of Rhode Island—but someone should brief her on the history of Atoms for Peace.
President Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" may have started as a dream, but it ended up having a lot in common with a nightmare. Whatever good the initiative may also have accomplished, several countries exploited it to advance their nuclear weapons programs:
>>Krige and other historians have noted the positive legacy of Atoms for Peace. The program was successful in creating the International Atomic Energy Agency, and a web of safeguards which the IAEA imposes on member states. The initiative also planted the seeds for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the cornerstone in global efforts to contain the spread of nuclear weapons.
However, in some ways Atoms for Peace backfired. Several countries that received training and technology transfers through Atoms for Peace eventually used that knowledge platform for illicit weapons programs. India, Pakistan, South Africa and Israel all received direct or indirect support through Atoms for Peace. Each of these countries later built secret nuclear weapons stockpiles.
Collins writes that the chairman of India’s atomic energy agency called Atoms for Peace the “bedrock on which India’s nuclear program was built.”<<

Underscoring gratitude for @Ken Klippenstein

I’m a fan.
Me 2
Thanks for covering this race, Ken!! Go Francesca!!!

Indeed.

Nicely done!! You've been on a roll lately
I saw an interview with Hong on IG and her directness, ethics, and command of the issues was very compelling. More please.
Wisconsin, please elect her.
This is such good news. I support Francesca Hong and will try to persuade all my friends in Wisconsin to do the same. Thanks, Ken!
"pre-folded lawn chairs allergic to conflict"
🤣 I literally snorted with laughter
Sir you have an amazing gift for writing, and thank you for using your powers for good! Well done with this piece 💪
It’s refreshing to see courageous citizen legislators.
But according to Big Brother, war is peace and freedom is slavery.
