“…if it weren't for liberals, we'd be living in a dark, evil country…What has conservatism given America? A stable social order? A peaceful homelife? Respect for law and order?Hell, no.It hasn't given us anything we didn't have and it wants to take away our freedoms”

PS: For those asking "What are the consequences?" For starters, the consequences could be a dismissal of the BS charges against Mr. Abrego. There could also be contempt proceedings. We'll see.

Mr Abrego eventually got these documents, and the judge has CANCELLED Abrego's trial and set a hearing for January 28th where the burden is on the government to prove they did not vindictively and selectively prosecute Mr. Abrego. If they can't, the charges may be DISMISSED. END/

Big ups to the Yurok, Karuk, and Klamath peoples, who gathered seeds and rootstocks and slips of native plants, used nursery techniques to multiply them, and then hand-replanted the basins to restore the original ecologies.

A timely and lovely reminder that things can get better too.
Just a year after un-damning 😉 the Klamath River, salmon runs are back.
Dam removal "also restored natural water temperatures, cooled the river earlier in the fall, reduced harmful algal blooms, and dramatically lowered levels of the deadly parasite C. shasta."

Simon has adapted Philip Roth's 2004 novel, about aviation legend Charles Lindbergh being elected president. "It's startling how allegorical it is to our current political moment," he says.
