A basket maker as well as a former tribal court associate judge, I retired from full-time work at Lane Community College (Eugene, Oregon) in 2022. I'm still making baskets and still active in my Tribe (Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians).
Admiral Bradly says attacks were legal bc the 11 boat occupants were all on a target kill list . . . and then says, “As with all such actions, a uniformed JAG provided advice and counsel every step of the way." A real JAG or a Trump-appointed/Hegseth-approved JAG? www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

A driver intentionally drove their car up on the curb to hit a protester in Ohio yesterday.

This is the protester’s reaction, broken leg and all.

You may break our bones, but you will not break our spirit.

My admiration goes to members of the LDS Church who are acting courageously in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination by engaging in introspection. bycommonconsent.com/2025/09/14/h...

It's now confirmed that the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk was raised LDS. The call has come from inside the house. Will we answer?

The US US Commander-in-Chief has pronounced the Epstein matter over. He reports that its a hoax, fake news, and a witchhunt. There's nothing to see there, he tells us. Maybe it's time for Prez to play a little hardball with the British Press who haven't got the news: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Let's condemn political violence & those who use it & remember "several of Trump's top supporters and allies - including Utah Senator Mike Lee, Elon Musk, conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer and activist Charlie Kirk - attempted without evidence to link Walz and Democratic lawmakers to the killings."
The vicious tone of national politics pollutes Minnesota after shooting
In a place that prides itself on politeness and respect, people are reeling after the targeted assassination of a popular politician.

Trump follows in the steps of Putin who ordered the recent invasion of Ukraine. Japan's decision to bomb Pearl Harbor is also a model for this attack on Iran--but that occurred before Japan (US and Russia, too) agreed to UN charter. The US appears now to be clearly in violation of international law.

Would you want President Trump to be on your jury? It's moot point bc recently-convicted felons can't serve as jurors (at least in Oregon):

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.
This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.
