Kansas’ Marion County paid $3M for forgetting the First Amendment. After their illegal raid on the Marion County Record in 2023, local cops got their First Amendment lesson the expensive way. Police elsewhere should take note.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Ah, geeze. Fall hits different when you're addicted to local summer produce. That's how they getcha. "Oh sure join the Community Supported Agriculture" group they say, "try this Bibb lettuce" they say, and then they abandon you they leave you alone, in the forever darkness of winter saladless. 😭
