7:35 Drew Thomas Allen, author of For Christ and Country: the Martydrom of Charlie Kirk.
A prophetic indictment of a culture that calls good evil, evil good, and hatred justice.
In a moment when ICE agents are branded fascists, law enforcement is vilified, and political violence is routinely excused as “understandable,” America is confronting a dangerous truth: the tactics once associated with foreign extremist movements are now being normalized at home.
In my new book, For Christ and Country: The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, I argue that the Left’s escalation—from dehumanizing rhetoric to public shaming to outright violence—follows a recognizable pattern. It is not best understood as a Left-Right dispute, but as a method: moral absolutism, coercion, intimidation, and the justification of violence in service of a “higher cause.”
America is now at an inflection point. Nations don’t collapse all at once. They decay when citizens grow accustomed to intimidation, silence, and fear.
The question is no longer whether this trend exists—but whether we are willing to name it clearly before the next target is chosen.

7:35 Jackson County Commissioner Colleen Roberts
O&C land funding story – positive development for Jackson and Josephine County
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 27, 2026
Huge Win – Historic Funding Restored to O&C Counties
(Jackson County, Ore.) County Commissioner Colleen Roberts, the Association of O&C Counties representative, is proud to announce that Congress has passed the FY26 Interior Appropriations Bill. This bill returns O&C counties to our rightful 75-percent of shared timber receipts from O&C lands. It will ultimately be reflected by a 50% increase of the current revenue share for Jackson County on an annual basis.
This bill represents years of advocacy at the Federal level and represents one of the most, if not the most, significant achievements and highest priorities for O&C Counties in the last 44 years.
This was a bipartisan effort and as a proud member of the AOCC, Jackson County would like to express our sincere appreciation for all those involved who helped make this happen. This successful action is the culmination of the dedication of the entire AOCC Board of Directors, including the AOCC Executive Board.
“It has been an honor to represent the people of Jackson County on the O&C Board of Directors for the last 10 years,” said Commissioner Colleen Roberts. “Over 50% of the land base in Jackson County is managed by the federal government, and the majority of that is classified as O&C lands. The management of these lands and upholding the provisions of the O&C Act—including timber receipts—are crucial to the timber industry, our citizens, and county government. While Jackson County is financially one of the strongest in the state, the additional revenue will help maintain the critical services the county provides. It’s truly a win-win for our community.”
AOCC represents the unique O&C timberlands in 18 western Oregon counties, the 18 counties host 2.1 million acres of O&C timberlands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The AOCC advocates for sustained yield management of O&C timberlands, as required by federal law under the 1937 O&C Act, to protect and support jobs and local economies, county services, and healthy timberlands. The 1937 O&C Act is widely regarded as the first Congressional Conservation Act. It is enacted to regulate the management of the Federal timber resources. The O&C Act signaled an end to the cut-and-run policies in the early years of the 20th century. By requiring management under the principle of Sustained Yield, timber harvest cannot outpace the annual growth of the forest, resulting in a perpetual supply of timber while concurrently providing quality habitat for wildlife, watershed protection, and recreational opportunities for the public.

7676 Republicans Vote to Fund Abortions & “Trans” Procedures blicans Vote to Fund Abortions & “Trans” Procedures
As Congress moves ahead with another expensive government funding package, we are reminded that reckless and foolish spending is a bipartisan enterprise.
The $1.2 trillion minibus sailed through the House of Representatives on Thursday by a 341-88 vote. Twenty-four Republicans and 64 Democrats voted against it. The Senate will take it up next week.
On Thursday, we reported that the minibus includes more than $5 billion in welfare for refugees. Despite a national debt of $38 trillion-plus (and climbing by the second) and White House rhetoric suggesting the days of importing welfare recipients are over, Congress begs to differ. The word is Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is going to put up resistance in the Senate and introduce an amendment to address the refugee allocations.
More about John Gordon, host of syndicated radio show The Truth with John Gordon, is a graduate of the Mercer University Law School in Georgia. He is a business owner and entrepreneur, who has also worked as a journalist and reporter in Macon and Atlanta.
He ran as a Republican candidate to be Georgia’s attorney general in 2022 and was endorsed by Donald Trump. John Gordon lives in Palm Beach, Florida.

How Trump’s ICE Enforcement Record Blows Obama’s Out of the Water – By a Lot
By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime
I have a new piece at the New York Post comparing President Trump’s ICE enforcement numbers to Obama’s. They are biased against Trump because Obama’s numbers include cases where people are turned back at the border, so those individuals can’t be mistakenly detained or there will be the possibility of them dying in custody. Under Obama, border removals/returns were about 70-75 percent of those returned, so these calculations are significantly biased in favor of making Obama’s immigration enforcement process look relatively good. Here is Grok’s analysis of that point. Here is Grok’s evaluation of the accuracy of the article. ChatGPT’s evaluation of the article is available here. [more…]

Shirley Patton: A Legend in Her Own Time
By Dennis Powers
Shirley Patton’s family moved from a small town in Washington to Portland during World War II. She loved acting in high school and was a theater major at Stanford University where she learned of Angus Bowmer and his tiny theater company in Ashland, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (“OSF”). After graduation, Patton came to Ashland in 1958.
Shirley was asked to play the role of Viola in “Twelfth Night,” the morning of the opening night when the original actress was hospitalized the night before. “I wasn’t even the understudy,” Patton said. This started her acting career at OSF. Although she returned to Portland to teach in supplementing her acting, Bowmer invited her to return although he had given out all of the scholarships he had at that time.
Shirley met her husband, Bill Patton, only minutes after she got off the bus. Bill was the general manager of the company at the time. They were married six months later, about when the theater was torn down when the fire department condemned it. They were married for 52 years before Bill passed away in 2011. The OSF dedicated its 2011 season, its 76th, to Patton, who had led the company from 1953 to 1995–another story in itself.
Her life revolved around the theater, and she was a member of the OSF acting company for 30 seasons and played more than 50 roles. After leaving OSF, she performed in numerous local theater venues on many stages, such as the Camelot Theatre, Southern Oregon University, and the Craterian Theater in a variety of roles.
One of her most memorable roles was in the Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award winning story of “Driving Miss Daisy” in 2014 at the Camelot Theatre. Livia Genise, the artistic director, asked her whether she would like to play Daisy Werthan–but there was a problem. Patton had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system for which there is no cure. Patients in the early stages often develop tremors, move slowly, and have trouble walking. Speech can be affected.
Shirley said, “If Daisy can have Parkinson’s, then yes.” She’d work on the problems but she couldn’t mask a tremor in one hand. So this Daisy had a tremor. Patton came to the first rehearsal in January with nearly all of her lines memorized. She worked on balance, the quick changes needed of costumes, voice, and breathing. The applause on opening night went deservedly for a long time.
In January 2019, Shirley Patton was in her 75th year of acting and celebrated 60 years of service with the Tudor Guild, as its longest standing member. The Tudor Guild supports OSF financially through its gift shop. Patton, however, also helped find housing and household items for actors, along with child care for employees, volunteers, and even audience members. Shirley also was the voice for JPR’s “As It Was” stories from 2005 on for 15 years, including some 300 that this writer wrote and worked with her on.
One of her last performances was starring in Camelot Theatre’s “The Gin Game” in May 2019. However, she later moved to Portland to be with her family. Southern Oregonians are lucky to have seen or know Shirley Patton over these years. She was not only very talented and dedicated, but also someone you would like to know as a friend—and who dealt with Parkinson’s for years as a leading actress.
