An affair can be forgiven. This lies within the domain of marriage and issues of reconciliation best accomplished in private.  But the  man who lacks discretion and has betrayed our nation?  Unforgivable.  

Headline story?  An ambitious man caught in a honey trap.  Back burner?  Perhaps he deliberately entered an alliance with China and his mistress was his handler.

These things can be both tricky and messy to sort out.  But it is not the story of Jensen Huang and his entanglement with a woman whose legend gives her the name of "Alice" which is casting a shadow across my ethical heart at the moment.  It is something closer to home.

My journalism generally starts with "random" and then I enter the investigative field with the hard work required to connect a few dots.  I am giving the broad strokes of a story encountered in the last month to blur the lines of truth whilst delivering a truth.  Because the intersection of lives is where a journalism story really begins.

I was seated at the Argentina Bakery with my brother and ready to leave when I glanced up to see a man for whom I have much admiration enter the space with a person I have known for a decade. Shit.  Not again.  Surely - this could not really be happening!

My brother knows the whimsical nature of my friendships and total lack of filter when visiting with others.  So when I abandoned him to sit and chat with the men, he took it all in stride.  The conversation was on the lines of "How the hell are ya' doing?"  But the diminutive, almost unnoticeable figure of a man shared one sentence which sent a lightning bolt down my spine.

Looking with pity at the man for whom I have great admiration, the deep realization is that he does not  understand the dangerous levels of international intrigue and terror links within his own city. He sees it as something distant, and not near.  He is unaware the man seated across from him should be registered with FARA  and is currently involved in an influence operation on behalf of his own convivial handler.

Perhaps the Friendly Brethren are watching his back; or like myself, allowing me to be seated across from them in an interrogation room voicing my concerns regarding active correspondence with two Al Qaeda contacts (one in the U.S. and one in Canada),  whilst keeping my oath - four years after 9/11.  

Those were the days when I worried about being harmed.  Now?

 I understand I am not that important.  

The man  whom I admire is not the Nvidia champagne and gratuitous sex scenario.  He is the stuff of coffee and and a great pastry. I hope - that without any real intent - he does not find himself betraying American values.  I hope someone is watching his back.

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...
