In 2010, Scott was elected to the United States House of Representatives for South Carolina's 1st congressional district, where he served from 2011 to 2013.[1] Scott served one term (from 2009 to 2011) in the South Carolina General Assembly and served on the Charleston County council from 1996 to 2008.[2][3]
Since January 2017, Scott has been one of eleven African-Americans to have served in the U.S. Senate, and the first to serve in both chambers of Congress.[4] He is the seventh African-American to have been elected to the Senate and the fourth from the Republican Party. He is the first African-American senator from South Carolina, the first African-American senator to be elected from the southern United States since 1881 (four years after the end of the Reconstruction era), and the first African-American Republican to serve in the U.S. Senate since Edward Brooke departed in 1979. from Wikipedia

White House aware of reported mystery illness ‘attacks’
Apr. 30 - Aboard Air Force One: The White House is aware of a media report about potential incidents in the United States in 2019 and 2020 that appear similar to previous suspected “directed” radio frequency attacks that caused a mysterious illness, but could not provide or confirm any details.
The White House was working closely with various US departments and agencies and was still evaluating the situation, which included one attack near the White House, spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said.
CNN earlier on Thursday (Friday AEST) reported that American agencies were investigating two possible incidents that appeared similar to a mysterious illness known as “Havana syndrome” that impacted diplomats in Cuba and elsewhere.
One last year occurred near the White House, it said, while another one, previously reported by GQ magazine, sickened a White House official in a nearby Virginia suburb in 2019.
“The health and well being of American public services is a paramount priority for the Biden administration,” Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One. “We cannot provide or confirm specific details.”
More than 40 diplomats and spies as far back as 2016 have reported nausea, headache, dizziness and other unexplained symptoms, triggering intense speculation.
The most probable cause was “directed” radio-frequency energy, a type of radiation that includes microwaves, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concluded in a report last year.
In February, the US State Department said an investigation was still ongoing. source from
Out of this world: UFOs buzzing US warships have been sent by PUTIN and there's 'no question about it' former senator claims
- Former Senate majority leader Harry Reid pointed the finger at Russia over unidentified flying objects spotted by US warships
- The UFOs were seen in images and footage leaked from a Pentagon investigation
- Reid has called on for a permanent UFO programme to be established following the sightings
Apr. 30 - A former senator has blamed UFOs filmed buzzing US warships on Vladimir Putin, saying there was 'no question' that Russia was involved.
Harry Reid has called for the US to establish a permanent UFO program following Pentagon confirmation of the authenticity of a set of images and videos showing unidentified flying objects over Navy warships off the coast of California in 2019.
In an interview with Mysterywire.com, Reid discussed the potential origin of the mysterious flying objects, with the interviewer suggesting they may be Chinese.
'Always remember, Russia, the former Soviet Union, is run by a man who ran the KGB. They had as many as 30,000 agents at one time, KGB agents. So, Russia's involved in this, no question about it,' Reid said.
The former Senate majority leader said UFOS were 'something that cannot be ignored' and that President Joe Biden should be briefed on the matter.
'I believe that there should be an ongoing entity, within the Pentagon would be the best place for it, whose sole job is to stay on top of the issue of UFOs,' Reid said.
Reid's comments came after the leak of photos from a Pentagon investigation of UFOs by the UAP Task Force, which has been gathering evidence for a report for Congress that's due in June, according to Mystery Wire.
The images, which were obtained by filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, show unidentified objects flying above four US destroyers, including the USS Kidd Navy destroyer, in 2019.
One of the images appears to be a pyramid-shaped object while others were thought to be drones or balloons; however, the Navy has listed them as unknowns.
In a statement, a Pentagon spokesperson told Mystery Wire: 'I can confirm that the referenced photos and videos were taken by Navy personnel. The UAPTF has included these incidents in their ongoing examinations'... more
China nuclear buildup faster than expected, U.S. now believes
Apr. 30 - China’s military is advancing its nuclear arsenal and delivery systems so fast the Defense Intelligence Agency has had to move up its estimate of when Beijing will double its warhead stockpile, the general in charge of military intelligence told Congress on Thursday.
In wide-ranging testimony, DIA Director Army Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on global threats that China and Russia are actively using information warfare surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic to undermine Western governments.
The three-star general said the DIA last year estimated the People’s Liberation Army would double its stockpile of nuclear warheads, which the agency has said was in the “low 200s,” by the year 2030.
“Since then, Beijing has accelerated its nuclear expansion and is on track to exceed our previous projection,” he said. “PLA nuclear forces are expected to continue to grow with their nuclear stockpile likely to at least double in size over this decade and increase the threat to the U.S. homeland.” No new estimate of the number of warheads was made public.
Gen. Berrier said the nuclear buildup is part of a “massive military modernization” by Beijing and is being “accelerated as a deterrent,” he added. more
