#7 Kamala Harris gave her first unscripted remarks Thursday since ascending to the role of POTUS-in-waiting.

She and Joe Biden were standing on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews just before midnight waiting to greet four American hostages freed from Russia when a reporter managed to fire a question at the usually inaccessible pair.

For some reason, Harris answered — but with her trademark incomprehensible word salad.

“This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy,” she said.

The sound bite went viral, topping up the vast treasure trove of idiotic public pronouncements she has amassed over the past four years.

Other organs may have been in play.

#10 Data on a laptop is only transferred to "the Cloud" if the software on the laptop initiates a transfer.

"The Cloud" is other people's storage hardware.

Data is transferred via internet to other people's IT systems that are located somewhere in physical space. perhaps in foreign adversarial jurisdictions.

Every entity who has physical access or can enforce access to such IT systems has possession of the data.

That is true for email as well which is why I was very surprised to learn that high ranking Western politicians are conducting serious business using generic email services provided by Google, etc.

Encryption could mitigate these issues, but I fear that encryption offered by black box cloud systems is more security theatre than security.

I think it is highly likely that the entirety of Mrs Harris' personal computer data and her email conversations are in the hands of every even remotely competent political actor in the world.
