I see this stuff all the time: Young guys insisting Democrats - who just last year had a football coach running for vice president - are telling men not to watch sports. Just completely made up.

Public Lands. What we all lose if sold off: access to your favorite trout stream, your elk camp, freedom to hike & roam, make a wilderness camp & watch the aurora borealis, listening to a wolf pack howling at first light, gathering morels & huckleberries. List goes on & on. KEEP IT PUBLIC!!!

NEW: This small North Idaho town kept to itself. Then a church asked the U.S. government to intervene. “I sent an email to the Justice Department,” said Matt Meyer, an elder in the Christ the Redeemer church. “I said, … ‘I think I’m being discriminated against.’”

Costco promotes diversity while selling hot dogs complete with a drink for only $1.50 while paying their employees $30 an hour. They should be the ones to run the U.S. government.

For me that's why last election was so horrifying for me - I had to admit that the majority of us are craven shallow people. We aren't who I thought we were.

The devastating fires in Southern California is reminding me of some quote I read somewhere that said something about how we keep viewing natural disasters through phones as they get closer and closer to where we live until we are the ones filming them
