Spencer Cox’s book contains a near-fatal error, George Pyle writes in an op-ed. “You can probably guess what it is,” he writes. “But it’s still an argument worthy of your consideration.”

I’ve never had a travel trailer newer than 1963 so this whole conversation makes me chuckle a bit. BUT glad to see you bake & cook while camping! Its one of my favorite parts. The Dixie stove in our 1957 trailer even has a broiler 😆

Well that's a relief. City council pulled the permit for the pro-ICE movie that's not a union production, has been slipshod at best with armory and stunts, and whose private, armed security people have been menacing Livingston residents. They've been a scourge.

“It also sets the precedent for using this chilling tactic on any journalist or watchdog as it sees fit.“ Oregon cities are doing this over and over again, making it prohibitive for any independent journalist without a team of lawyers to get public records. It’s outrageous.
