Excerpt:
"“I don’t think any informed or knowledgeable libertarian or conservative should support Nikki Haley. I’ve seen her attitude towards our event [and] our interventions overseas. I’ve seen her involvement in the military-industrial complex, $8 million being paid to become part of a team.”
Mr. Paul also disagreed with Ms. Haley’s ideals on internet usage, saying he stands against making individuals register to use the internet: “I think she fails to understand that our Republic was founded upon people like Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, [James] Madison, John Jay, and others who posted routinely—for fear of the government—they posted routinely anonymously.
“And I think her failure to really understand that or to think that you should register through the government somehow on the internet is something that should disqualify her in the minds of all libertarian and libertarian-leaning conservatives.”
Mr. Paul teased his news the afternoon before with a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Following his video statement, Mr. Paul also pointed to Ms. Haley’s stance on the United Nations, where she served as U.S. ambassador, as problematic in a series of posts on X.
“She repeatedly praised the U.N. Secretary-General [Antonio Guterres, former president of Socialist International] and declared that they ’think alike,'” said Mr. Paul. And she was positive about the “results” the United Nations achieved and “the people who ran it.”
The Kentucky senator encouraged voters to go to nevernikki.net and “show her that you’re ‘never Nikki’ also.”"

End. Of. Story.
I'm not looking forward to returning to frigid N. America from 80F shorts and sandals weather down here.
But I have some great memories, a nice tan, (and saved about 5k on the dental services compared to in US.)
The 'news' has, as usual, over-reacted to the actions of drug dealers and the Ecuador government.
Like all cities in the US, there are some areas to avoid in Ecuador for safety, but almost the entire country
is quite safe as long as you aren't dealing or transporting drugs or have dealings with those who are.
Year round temps in 75 to 85 is a compelling attraction, along with inexpensive, good quality, al fresco dining.
Glad your back safe FFA although I bet you are not enjoying the temps. And as always when traveling, as long as you are not doing or dealing drugs, and have some sense about where to be and not be in any town - reasonable safe!
(I'd have probably voted for the Libertarian anyway since the GOP
hasn't run anyone I could vote for since Reagan in '80.
The GOP didn't run Trump; he ran against both parties and will again.)

Can we not look at these people's faces and see their lies, their slippery speech patterns...
I kind of like Vivek for his excoriation of business as usual, but then I see his shock bright white porcelain veneers shining at me and I think twice...
Unfortunately, that isn't any more true than most of what precipitates from the politicians' mouths.
Politicians should be well vetted in an unbiased way.
That is the job of the media and they have purposefully failed for at least 60 years.
Trump is the lesser of all evils that could possibly be elected president, so I will vote for him. The indian dude would never be elected as president right away. His idea of firing all government workers with odd or even SS numbers is a great idea, but would wind up in the courts immediately
As to the size of the Federal Government, it is the biggest problem facing our nation IMHO. Their wasteful spending will sink us even faster than all these illegals. :(
The only one I think can be trusted as VP is Rand Paul, but someone good would have to replace him in the senate.
