Smartphones have become an intelligence treasure trove
Hackers tied to China's government have tried repeatedly to access the phones of prominent Americans, part of Beijing's sprawling cyberespionage efforts.

The Klamath has long been my favorite river in California (and a bit of Oregon.)
A week ago I was at the mouth of the Klamath in Redwood National Park/Prairie Creek State park.

Trump walked out to a thunderous standing ovation as Kid Rock’s “American Bad Ass” boomed from the sound system.

A female champion let the US president try on her gold belt.
