“… Got declined to divulge his birthplace to The Post, other than to say it was not Russia.

Sources describe Gor’s failure to submit the SF-86 as of the time of The Post’s inquiries as rare, if not unique, among White House aides. He currently has an interim security clearance, as do some other Trump officials who are awaiting the completion of background checks….”

“… Got strongly opposed use of the SF-86 during the presidential transition, claiming he was concerned about the “deep state” weeding out Trump’s picks.

“He was actively working to convince everyone, including the lawyers, that the SF-86 was unnecessary and that Trump could just provide everyone with a clearance through his executive authority,” the fourth source said.

… The White House told The Post that Gor has “completed the form” but would not say when he intends to submit it.

“Sergio was distrustful of the FBI, as were many others in the administration. However, to date, he has completed the form and he has an active security clearance,” said a White House official, referring to Gor’s interim security clearance.

… White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “Sergio Gor is a trusted adviser to President Trump and he has played a critical role in helping President Trump staff the most talented administration in history. It’s sad the New York Post is engaging in baseless gossip rather than focusing on how the Trump administration is tackling the issues impacting our country and world.”…”

“… At age 19, he told the Long Beach Press-Telegram in 2006 that he immigrated to the US from Malta at 12 years old — in 1998 or 1999. He did not describe a prior country of residence.

“In history class, you look at all these immigrants who came with rags and accomplished so much,” Gor told the paper. “Becoming a citizen is a step toward the great American Dream.”

The White House said Gor, who used the surname Gorokhovsky in high school, attended elementary and middle school in Malta, but the dates are unclear.

Ian Borg, deputy prime minister of Malta, emailed The Post: “Sergio’s early childhood was spent in Malta for nearly a decade. In fact, he attended elementary and middle school here. He’s perfectly fluent in Maltese, and deeply connected to the island. We are proud to consider Sergio a product of Malta!”

“Who cares where Sergio grew up as a child?” said Charlie Kirk, a co-founder of the pro-Trump group Turning Point USA. “For over two decades he’s worked in conservative politics. His loyalty to President Donald Trump is unmatched. His success in politics is a testament to his skills and talent. He’s an example of the American dream.”…”
 


“… YouTube, Netflix, Paramount+ and other streaming services combined to attract 44.8% of all television usage in May, representing the largest share to date for direct-to-consumer platforms.

Nielsen found that total viewership for cable and broadcast networks was just a whisker behind with 44.2% of television usage.

Cable television viewership represented 24.1% of all viewing. Broadcast networks mustered 20.1% in a month traditionally boosted by strong ratings for season finales of popular network shows.…”

More and more, grandma and pop-pop have even started streaming.

Army bringing in big tech executives as lieutenant colonels

The Army is swearing in top tech executives from Meta, OpenAI and Palantir as senior officers to be part-time advisors.

“… The Army calls the program to recruit Silicon Valley executives Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps. One of the executives, Andrew Bosworth of Meta (formerly Facebook) posted on X that the “201” monicker was a nod to an HTTP coding command, in which a “201” response indicates the creation of a new programming resource.

… Army officials say the new officers will get at least a taste of traditional Army training before filling their roles tech-focused policy advisors. Col. Dave Butler, the spokesperson for Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, told Task & Purpose that the four executives will get up to two weeks of online and face-to-face training at Fort Benning, Georgia on physical fitness, marksmanship and “basic soldier tasks” such as Army customs and courtesies, rank structure and uniform wear. The four will not attend the Army’s full six-week Direct Commissioning Course at Fort Benning, a common but not universal training program for new officers.

… The four men will be directly commissioned as officers in the Army Reserve, a hybrid, part-time position that is commonly offered to a range of candidates in highly-trained professional fields, including doctors, lawyers, veterinarians and others with specific industry skills, such as logistics. However, most Army direct commission officers begin in more junior ranks as captains or majors, where they can immediately take active jobs in their fields rather than be expected to serve in leadership roles they have not been prepared for….”

My real guess is she fainted.
