6:35 ALEX MATTHEWS, national chair of Restore the 4th – www.RestoreThe4th.com – why he and other civil liberties groups are fighting to require WARRANTS for Section 702 FISA court surveillance. It’s a big deal.
There is growing bi-partisan consensus on this.
Sen. Kennedy (R) “I’m not sure I like the idea of extending it for three years.” (NEW this morning)
Rep. Ted Lieu (D): “I will be a hard NO on FISA Section 702. Whether or not the totally unqualified and corrupt Bill Pulte gets confirmed, Trump’s nomination of Pulte has already shown Trump would have no problem with weaponizing intelligence against Americans he doesn’t like.”
Rep. Andy Harris (R, House Freedom Caucus) Fix FISA! Get a Warrant!
Rep. Greg Casar (D, Congressional Progressive Caucus) “No Dem should vote to extend FISA 702 without a real, iron-clad warrant requirement.”

HUD’s New Homelessness Count
By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert
The Department of Housing and Urban Development just released the latest homelessness count: a 3% drop in overall numbers – but a staggering 81% surge in chronically homeless Americans after 12 years of “housing first, treatment never.” Untreated diseases – including addiction and mental illness – worsen. That’s exactly what happened. Thankfully, President Trump and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner are righting the ship by prioritizing AND funding disease treatment in our approach to homelessness. [more…]

7:10 Nick Fondacaro, Associate Editor, NewsBusters
Nick Fondacaro, Associate Editor, NewsBusters and EXPERT ON ALL THINGS THE VIEW has a new weekly column of the worst of The View in the Daily Wire. Here is his latest: ABC News’ ‘The View’ Shows Off Expertise In Fake History From Memorial Day to sleepy Joe, the news ladies are making blunders for the ages.
While Disney and ABC were duking it out with the Federal Communications Commission over whether or not The View was a “bona fide news” program (HINT: they’re not), they were proving that they certainly were not bona fide historians.
Fake History #1
Co-hosts Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin claimed Memorial Day was a holiday celebrated by blacks and women before becoming popularized by whites.
Fake History #2, #3
Moderator Whoopi Goldberg read from a note card someone gave her that claimed Biden “oversaw an historic economy that produced over 16 million jobs” and “revitalized NATO.”
Obviously, no serious person gives Biden credit for that number, since it was the economy coming back online as COVID lockdowns were being lifted. Meanwhile, the pressure Trump put on NATO in his first term and the war in Ukraine were what spurred the members of the military alliance to invest in rearmament.
7:35 Former State Senator Herman Baertschiger and we’re discussing the budget process in Jo County. And are big public employee raises sustainable??

The Pacific Crest Trail
(and Southern Oregon)
By Dennis Powers
Following the highest sections of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges, the Pacific Crest Trail (“PCT”) is a 2,650 miles long trail that begins just south of the U.S. border with Mexico, travels thru California, Oregon, and Washington, to end at the Canadian-U.S. border in British Columbia. The elevations range from 13,150 feet in the Sierra Nevada to just above sea level at the Oregon-Washington boarder with the Bridge of the Gods. The route passes thru twenty-five national forests and seven national parks.
First proposed by Clinton Clarke as a trail running from Mexico to Canada along the crest of the mountains in California, Oregon, and Washington, he proposed this to create the trail and lobby the federal government to protect it. Joined by the Boy Scouts, YMCA, and Ansel Adams (along with others), YMCA groups explored the 2,000-plus miles of potential trail and planned a route from 1935 to 1938, which has been closely followed by the modern PCT route.
In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson defined the PCT and Appalachian Trail to be in the National Trails System Act. The PCT was then constructed through cooperation between the federal government and volunteers organized by the Pacific Crest Trail Association. In 1993, the PCT was officially declared finished.
It generally takes five months–or an entire snow-free season–to walk the full trail. Highly experienced/conditioned people have finished the trail in as little as two months. The few who achieve sub-100 day hikes average well over 30 miles per day.
Risks are always present in the wilderness: Lightning, cold weather, falling rocks, wild animals, and other unexpected events. A twisted ankle can be life-threatening if one is alone. It’s important to plan well, including supply points, avoiding snow and bad weather, setting places to rest and recover to safely complete your walk.
There are numbers of way to access the PCT in Southern Oregon. One is at the Green Springs Summit. (From I-5, take exit 14 near Ashland and turn on Highway 66 toward Klamath Falls. Take Hwy 66 for 17 miles to the Green Springs Summit. A trailhead and parking area are located there.)
Another is from the paved Mount Ashland Road and then hike 1.6 miles to Grouse Creek Road (6,500 feet). The next 1.9 trail-miles to 6,600-feet Grouse Gap are level as anyone can expect on any trail with views of Mt. Shasta. From Pilot Rock: Hikers can pick up the trail west of Pilot Rock, a 5,900-foot remnant of a 30-million-year-old lava flow that guided early pioneers into the Rogue Valley.
But my favorite is from Soda Mountain Road. From Ashland, take Highway 66 towards Klamath Falls, head up the mountain, and at the Soda Mountain Road turnoff, turn right. You’ll drive for several miles before coming to the trail head and parking. To the south, the trail passes under power lines and emerges in a forest of fir trees. After an unmarked side trail to Soda Mountain at one mile, the PCT skirts tiny ponds with cliff-edge views of Mount Ashland. Passing thru different ecological zones, this is a grand experience–and bring a day lunch. Be sure to check GPS readings if you haven’t done this before.
Note: Talk with friends who have walked on different access points on the PCT to see about combining different access points (i.e., time of hike, best season, what to bring, and the like).

8:35 Retired State Rep. Jeff Kropf from the Oregon Capital Watch Foundation details some interesting polling they’ve conducted and the political ramifications.
Read more at https://www.ocwf.org/
From their news release:
SALEM, Ore. — New statewide polling commissioned by Oregon Capital Watch Foundation (OCWF) shows strong Oregon voter opposition to public funding tied to the proposed Moda Center renovation project, including significant opposition within the Portland metro area itself.
- 69.1% oppose public funding for the proposal statewide
- Just 7.5% of voters statewide expressed strong support for the proposal
- Even within the Portland metro area, 60.7% opposed public funding for the proposal
- Only 10.6% of Portland metro respondents expressed strong support
- 57.9% still opposed the proposal after hearing arguments about keeping the Trail Blazers in Portland
- 56.2% still opposed the proposal after hearing economic development arguments supporting the project
- 71.7% opposed the proposal after hearing concerns about taxpayer costs, affordability, and competing public priorities
The polling also mirrors recent Portland-area polling reported by The Oregonian showing majority opposition to the use of public ‘clean energy’ funds for the Moda Center proposal.
The findings suggest concerns about affordability, taxpayer priorities, and large public subsidy projects are extending beyond traditional geographic and political divides.
As part of the broader public awareness effort surrounding the issue, Oregon Capital Watch Foundation is also launching a statewide radio advertising campaign across more than 20 Oregon radio stations focused on taxpayer priorities, affordability concerns, and public spending issues identified in the polling.
“Oregonians are sending a very clear message about affordability, taxpayer priorities, and the growing financial pressures facing working families across the state,” said Jeff Kropf, Executive Director of Oregon Capital Watch Foundation.
“One of the most significant findings in the polling was that opposition remained majority opposition even after respondents heard the primary arguments supporting the proposal,” said Lee Vasche, Partner & Senior Pollster at American Pulse Research & Polling.
Additional polling information, media materials, radio advertising content, and interview requests are available at: www.ocwf.org/policy/moda-tax
