As what’s left of the Biden administration winds down, I’d like to offer an end-of-days reminder: Joe Biden wasn’t just a terrible president. His Attorney General Merrick Garland was an equally terrible leader of the Department of Justice. Garland, you may recall, was nominated for the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, who died suddenly a few months before the 2016 election.

Dear Oregon Freepers--it's been my misfortune to have a particularly obnoxious, arrogant, condescending liberal from Portland become part of a cherished social circle. I have heard so much about "how we do it in Portland" that I started doing research about this area of the country, its politics, and finally its cruelty to the religious.
