Political Shake-Up in North Carolina - What Does It Mean for the US House? 🏛️ A political storm is brewing in North Carolina! Republican legislators have unveiled redistricting proposals that could potentially reshape the balance of power in the US House. Currently, the state's congressional delegation stands evenly split, with seven seats held by each party. But the newly proposed maps have the potential to render House Democrats' districts nearly unwinnable. This move could significantly influence the outcome of the 2024 elections and the balance of power in Washington. The world of politics is ever-evolving, and North Carolina's GOP-controlled state legislature's role in this process highlights the importance of redistricting in shaping the nation's political landscape.

As we move into a new election year, make sure to vote. Whether you're a Democrat, Independent, or Republican it's what makes democracy work and America strong. In the words of Alexander Hamilton... "The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world. It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force." I choose reflection and choice. My vote reflects my choice, and your vote is your choice. So, get out and vote.

The antipodeans Sir Ernest Rutherford "father of nuclear physics" and Sir Mark Oliphant, "Opposer of the fission bomb" were the first experimental demonstrators of nuclear fusion. Why then are the Australian Government and the Federal Opposition not working to get it developed in Australia and bring it back home? New Zealand has, so why not Australia? Interesting articles about Nuclear and I know you haven't looked at Fusion. So let's look at the nuclear or Fission option versus Fusion 1. Fission (Nuclear) Not able to be licenced. https://lnkd.in/gbm2t5uU 2. Authorities have the power to grant licenses for fusion, which is not explicitly covered by the Nuclear Act or the ARPANSA definition. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy The above ARPANSA link defines nuclear as fission—no mention of Fusion. 3. A fission (Nuclear)reactor without fissile fuel is a building. 4. A fusion reactor without fissile fuel is a fusion reactor building 5, Fissile (Nuclear) fuel availability and the future cost is a concern, especially for economists and users Dittmar, M. (2011). The End of Cheap Uranium. ArXiv. /abs/1106.3617 Even the UN has identified this, so why does the Fission(Nuclear) industry persist in denying its death like fossil fuels https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr 6. Should the focus in Australia be on nuclear fission advancement or the promotion of fusion technology? 7, Fission (Nuclear) is only at present in 39 countries out of 189. 8. Is Dutton doing a Menzies and wanting a loophole to get fission (Nuclear) weapons to start with for the subs? 9. Australia still has no high-level radiation waste storage facility 10. Helion Fusion has committed to having its fusion version working in 2028 11. The FIA (Fusion Industry Association) has postulated that commercial power fusion will be available in the 2030s. 12. In its fusion conference report in 2023, the IAEA postulated that all International nuclear (Fission) Laws like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty do not consider fusion, so it seems it can be built in Australia now. 13. Fusion is also being developed "Small Modular Fusion Reactors" like Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy. 14. HB11 and the UNSW Tokamak project have positioned Australia prominently in the trillion-dollar international fusion industry. Instead of relying on fission with a limited lifetime, wouldn't it be preferable to support Australian renewables, batteries, and hydrogen energy generators and back them up with a fusion power plant? This would eliminate the traditional waste problem while still providing medical isotopes and advancements in medical technology like MRIs. Let's focus on creating a sustainable future for Australia instead of perpetuating pollution and leading to an energy crisis. https://lnkd.in/ekakyifA

Today on State House! Part 2 discusses the political landscape in Texas, particularly focusing on the Hispanic vote and its impact on the Democratic and GOP parties. It also touches on the upcoming presidential election and the role of Texas in national politics. Out now!

⛷ As Iowans prepare to trudge through the weather to the GOP caucuses, here's a quick guide to cutting through the noise of the next few weeks in presidential politics. 🕵️♂️ I've been on the staff of or advised five different major presidential campaigns over the past three decades, so this guide is based on deep observations of how these campaigns play out. The most important element to understand is that momentum is everything. Once the Iowa caucus results go public, ⌛ time is up for a lot of these campaigns, even if they are the last ones to realize it. So remember: 4️⃣ There are 2 to 4 tickets at most out of #Iowa. 3️⃣ Then only 2 to 3 tickets at most out of #NewHampshire 2️⃣ And lastly, just 1-2 tickets out of #SouthCarolina. ⚠ Attempts to make #Nevada an early state haven't caught on, and this year the weird clash between a primary (for bragging rights) and a caucus (for actual delegates) will make it matter less. #publicaffairs #2024predictions #2024elections #presidentialelection #FITN #governmentrelations #governmentaffairs #politics #politicalrisk

North Dakota Democrats have a long road back to competitiveness. Their state convention will be held in April. In the current state of national politics, Democrats should be competitive across the country and this election year should offer opportunities of change. North Dakotans should consider the Democratic Party this year. Those in the party will need to step up by running for office and/or being more active in the political process. #northdakota #democrats #politics #elections2024 #convention https://lnkd.in/edysSat3

In the wake of the 2024 election results, a nation stands at a crossroads, reflecting on the paths taken and the promises made. The votes cast were not mere numbers, but the collective heartbeat of a people yearning for hope, change, and a better future. Every decision, every policy, every candidate represents the deeply personal beliefs and dreams of individuals who long for a voice in the grand narrative of their country. This election reminds us that political choices are never just political; they are profoundly personal, shaping the lives, identities, and futures of every citizen. As we move forward, let us remember that our unity and progress depend on recognizing and respecting the personal stories woven into the fabric of our democracy. #politicalispersonal
