While the Whole Story Remains to Be Told, It's Already Clear: California and the Nation Can Be SavedDuring the last two weeks the entire Democratic war machine and millions of dollars had to be brought into California to save Gavin Newsom. But the grassroots army which mobilized the recall battle against him has already begun to win the war, by uniting a force bridging all parties, races, and creeds against the divisive identity politics insanity which has characterized the state. This is despite what appears to be massive fraud in Tuesday’s recall vote.

The Poet: Mary Oliver, "Mysteries, Yes"
*"Mysteries, Yes"* "Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising. How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say "Look!" and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads." ~ Mary Oliver read more
