date: 2024-06-30, from: Hawaii Tribune Harold

            <p>International news focused on security issues remains awash with reports on foreign covert influence operations against elections, societal stability and charged political events worldwide. Some targets are far from our homeland (in Europe), some are closer (in South America), and others share our border (Canada, Mexico). The United States is, of course, a target, too. (Remember Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies&#8217; efforts to exploit the Maui fires last fall?)</p>

            <p>NEW YORK &#8212; Hundreds of LGBTQ+ donors and activists gathered in midtown Manhattan for a fundraiser supporting President Joe Biden on Friday, but the president&#8217;s debate performance cast an anxious shadow over what normally would have been an energizing political event. As they mingled in a lavender-lit event space at the Manhattan Center, many donors huddled in small groups and fretted over what they had all witnessed on television the night before. The debate was &#8220;definitely the main topic of conversation,&#8221; said one attendee, who declined to be named because he works in Democratic politics.</p>

Miguel Rojas given another crack at shortstop, but Dodgers minding his workload

date: 2024-06-30, from: Hawaii Tribune Harold

            <p>SAN FRANCISCO &#8212; The Los Angeles Dodgers&#8217; talent can lead to some quirky things. Miguel Rojas, by all accounts, has been a valuable member of yet another first-place club. After serving as the emergency everyday shortstop for a 100-win club last summer, he willingly ceded the role to a former MVP who hadn&#8217;t played the position regularly since high school in Mookie Betts. Rojas has had one of his finest seasons as a big leaguer at 35 years old.</p>
