| Supreme Court draws a red line between states on abortion Posted: 24 Jun 2022 02:39 PM PDT  The 19th century Mason-Dixon Line marked the boundary between slave states in the South and free states in the North.

| Roe repeal: ‘Heart of darkness’ Posted: 24 Jun 2022 02:32 PM PDT Sadly, with the overturning of Roe v. Wade Friday, the United States reaffirms the literal truth of the oft-quoted passage from the Declaration of Independence, "All men are created equal." Not women, of course, just men.

| Jan. 6 hearings: ‘Rule of law trashed’ Posted: 24 Jun 2022 02:26 PM PDT Watching the Jan. 6 hearings causes a great deal of pain. Seeing the rule of law trashed in so many ways by the very person who should be upholding our democratic values reminds us of the real dangers we face: The fragility of our Constitution is under attack.

| Snake River dams: Important role Posted: 24 Jun 2022 02:01 PM PDT I never hear how dams control flooding by limiting water through their gates during spring runoffs. Eastern Washington doesn't have the railroad infrastructure that it used to have. Taking out the Lower Snake River Dams would put a severe strain on our already crowded highway system. Shipping grain and other commodities via the river is […] |
