I understand that Americans, particularly the great Americans that follow me here, do not like it when I remind them that we voted for all of this - and if even one state - just one teeny tiny little state - had not shifted right last year... maybe I wouldn't bring it up so much.

Allow me to state, that I cannot think of any American alive today who has done more good for good's sake, than Dolly Parton.

I would put Jimmy Carter up there with her, and that's the only other American, dead or alive, I can think of at that level right now (at least from the modern era.)

The move came less than a day after a judge blocked the Trump admin attempt to deploy the Oregon National Guard there. Gov. Gavin Newsom of California denounced the move as a “breathtaking abuse of power” and said California would sue.
