“More than a billion dollars in victims restitution vanished” with the pardons. That makes my dark passenger enraged. Each day I work with veterans at my VFW post in North Bend and try to help each other deal with our military trauma, our PTSD, bequeathed in service to a grateful nation. I have been defrauded and now other victims don’t collect court ordered restitution.
I going outside to watch the water flow down the Coquille River, one of the few rivers where the salmon still spawn and dream of the days when we all work to help mother nature heal.
And to you, the birds are chirping telling me they feel the healing beginning, your video about breathing is amazing. I hope all your readers can find a way to afford your writing and support your work.
We are just starting a project with youth who have submitted essays for the Patriot Pen scholarship, to help us tell Lost Veteran stories, while improving their writing skills. Can we call upon you to help? We plan on going to rest homes to gather stories.
Your chronicles of these dark days will be gold to future historians. Not only will they be valuable as an accurate recounting of a national tragedy born of malevolent manipulation in a fatally flawed political system, they will be cited for their brilliant, clear eyed depictions of reality.
Some will undoubtedly contrast your courageous journalism with the bland, evasive, complicit and ultimately deceitful “reporting” of main stream media, which will be rightly described as handmaidens to the corrupt, venal MAGA-billionaires coup now wreaking havoc on our Republic.
Largest amount of gruesome news in single Geddry day. Not sure how many times helicopter has been needed to haul people out of danger in the ocean, but there aren't options, typically. We've gone from Global Warming to Climate Change to Climate Crisis. Is there anything worse for those wanting homes than to have them owned by freaking hedge funds?
One must ask, is there any bottom to Trump’s depravity. Perhaps, I just lack the imagination to guess what it might be. But one thing remains, the pardons and commutations suck. Apart from the illegality of “pay-to-play,” there is the gross immorality. These are people who profited on the loss of others. Laundered money for drug cartels. These are the “bad” people Trump castigates in one breath and forgives in the next. Eventually even the mind numb MAGA may understand the Great Grift.
As for the climate, Mother Nature has her own agenda. So Trump may call it hoax but as Mary reminds, La Niña is here and the polar vortex awaits. The oceans are warming, the corals are dying. Just for *grins* I note 80% or so of the earth’s oxygen comes from the oceans. Bad ju ju if the oceans die. It will be a very cold day in Europe if the AMOT stops. So, sure climate change is a hoax Donnie.
Many are hoping for the above mentioned lame duck thingy. Great article , Mary.
How ‘it’s’ put brings me a chuckle every time.
My anxiety has to be dealt with ..period. But this has been a rough period for sure …and it ain’t over yet. Certain football teams I loved would flub it in the fourth quarter with unusual dependency… I’m hoping the Dems don’t fall into those step there too.
To shore up those beginning to sit back on perceived laurel we have a trifecta to go after…let no slack show up..there’s a costly lesson needing loopholes and losses stitched back up and cemented or CODIFIED as this bleak 15 year semester in American History has so poignantly shouted out. I hope everyone is on board and gets involved.
Complacency is no longer acceptable.
Our Mother is going to require far more than just us Dems , a unification of all..no more Mr Nice Guys.
The issue is quite simple when everyone pitches in ‘the load’ seems lighter.
Extraction is stringent choice , banish the nuke BS (t o t a l l y ) and recycle is the focal point. Hemp is the biggy -renewable and far superior -and our woods restored from the rape and our lung loss.
Smart is not about profit margins but sustainability. Best ever article ever written , Mary 🫶
“I will never forgive Trump for making me agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
Wish I'd said that.

I’m going to calm my dark passenger down, again.
Peace be with you neighbor

I’d love to help. Not sure what I can do but I will definitely try
We are building a team, we will call upon you for advice. When 13 year old pen pal named Willow from North Bend calls, the adventure begins.
