She warned us all. Nobody wanted to listen. She was right about all of it. He’s even more unhinged than we imagined. We could be just living our peaceful lives right now.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Wow 😮 A federal magistrate judge overseeing the criminal case against former F.B.I. director James B. Comey just issued a ruling stating that “government misconduct may have tainted the grand jury proceedings” that led to his indictment. We expected this, but here it is.

Fancy an all-you-can-eat salmon buffet? Then head on over to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska.
It's the salmon run season right now, and the waterfall is absolutely swarming with bears. They've all gotten so chubby from feasting.
