Do OR lawmakers need full time security? https://oregoncatalyst.com/98561-lawmakers-fulltime-security.html 

With the late night ballot dump in WI Dem Gov’s primary that allowed the establishment candidate to win over the Marxist Hong, should Trump invoke the National Security Emergency EO which will diminish that from happening again all across the country? https://lite.cnn.com/2026/08/11/politics/trump-national-emergency-election 

Hong’s loss and the late night ballot dump: Just like happens in Multnomah County when Republicans are leading Dems in Gov race at midnight. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/08/wacky-marxist-francesca-hong-loses-wisconsin-dem-gubernatorial/
