Read a free chapter or two from the book (lots of fun) www.TinyBlundersBigDisasters.com
Readers of Jared Knott’s book, Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters, will be amazed at the little things that changed history in a big way. Here are a few examples:
- A single document poorly designed by one single clerk in one single county changed the outcome of a presidential election and led directly to a major war.
- A soldier accidentally kicks a helmet off the top of a wall and causes an empire to collapse.
- A small mechanical device several inches long fails to function, which changes the outcome of WWII and leads to the death of millions of people.
- A man fails to gather his army in time to defend against an attack because of the temptation of opium and a young slave woman.
- And many more!

7:10 CRAIG WHITLOCK, author of FAT LEONARD: How One Man Bribed, Bilked & Seduced the US Navy
FAT LEONARD: #1 New York Times bestselling author Craig Whitlock’s masterful account of one of the biggest public corruption scandals in American history-exposing how a charismatic Malaysian defense contractor bribed scores of high-ranking military officers, defrauded the US Navy of tens of millions of dollars, and jeopardized our nation’s security.
All the admirals in the US Navy knew Leonard Glenn Francis-either personally or by his legendary reputation. He was the larger-than-life defense contractor who greeted them on the pier whenever they visited ports in Asia, ready to show them a good time after weeks at sea while his company resupplied their ships and submarines. He was famed throughout the fleet for the gluttonous parties he hosted for officers: $1,000-per-person dinners at Asia’s swankiest restaurants, featuring unlimited Dom Pérignon, Cuban cigars, and sexy young women.
On the surface, with his flawless American accent, he seemed like a true friend of the Navy. What the brass didn’t realize, until far too late, was that Francis had seduced them by exploiting their entitlement and hubris. While he was bribing them with gifts, lavish meals, and booze-fueled orgies, he was making himself obscenely wealthy by bilking American taxpayers. Worse, he was stealing military secrets from under the admirals’ noses and compromising national security.
7:35 State Senator and candidate for Secretary of State Dennis Linthicum
8:10 Rhyen Stayley, researcher for Parents Defending Education
With the massive increase in school districts across the country using restorative justice practices coupled with the unprecedented behavioral chaos seen in classrooms, Parents Defending Education established a list of school districts that use restorative justice as an official part of their discipline policy and/or code of conduct.
(BTW, Medford 549C is on this list)
Restorative justice is a behavioral practice in the classroom that is affirmations-based and prioritizes students’ feelings through conversation rather than traditional discipline. More and more schools are attempting to use restorative justice policies in their schools, putting students, teachers, and bystanders at risk of violent, bad behavior.
Check out the resource here to see all of the schools in your state using these discipline policies: https://defendinged.org/investigations/list-of-school-districts-using-restorative-practices/

Mr. X and I discuss this push to bring the detestable “Policy Consensus” process…pre-determined outcomes, “stakeholder”, and always pushing the “Agenda” of the left forward. My issue is the process. This “Kitchen Table Conversation” group will take a true concern (too many jet boats on the Upper Rogue) and ultimately use it for locking people out of our land and waters. Here’s a link to their info and comment section. Call out this group for using a consensus process when there are other perfectly legal ways to deal with the problem: https://preview.mailerlite.com/h8a9j8p9i8/2480070036203509391/j1m2/

7:35 Josephine County Commissioner Herman Baertschiger discusses the notable Democrats flipping to GOP (for nefarious purposes) along with other news and info!
8:10 James Keyes (Former CEO of 7/11 and Blockbuster) on to discuss his recent book Education is Freedom. (I’ve included information below in a press folder and some recent interview links!)
Public figures like Mike Rowe and Elon Musk have publicly denounced the importance of higher education. Many on the right in particular are saying college no longer matters. In general, many Americans are losing faith in higher education. Former CEO of 7/11 and Blockbuster James Keyes is passionate about the importance of college education and speaks about why it still matters, despite the latest news about college graduations being canceled because of Gaza protests.
- Turmoil on US campuses is concerning but not a new phenomenon: students have historically exercised their right to free speech, particularly during conflict or human rights crises. It’s crucial to avoid blame and overreaction, drawing lessons from past incidents like Kent State, where militaristic responses led to escalation rather than resolution.
- We must encourage critical thinking: Instead of succumbing to fear and frustration, encouraging critical thinking and active listening from both sides is essential to grasp differing perspectives. We must not be drawn into the chaos by the minority of agitators seeking only disruption.
- Neglecting education undermines our nation’s foundation of a well-educated populace which is essential for success in the Information Age.
- Education has become politicized, with blame replacing solutions. Fundamental changes are necessary, moving beyond superficial fixes to overhaul how we teach and learn.
- We must leverage technology to revolutionize education, transcending traditional funding models through public-private collaboration.

The Boatnik Celebration of Grants Pass
By Dennis Powers
The Grants Pass Active Club has held its Boatnik event along the Rogue River since 1959 on every Memorial Day weekend at Riverside Park (Highway 99 and East Park Street). Taking the entire year to plan, this five-day event is its sole fundraiser and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past decades for Josephine County’s children and youth programs. With numbers of citizens volunteering, the highlight of Boatnik (named for Sputnik, the first satellite) is its widely known hydroplane races.
The activities start with a carnival on Thursday evening at the park with food, rides, games and activities. Friday usually includes a fireworks display on the river. Saturday starts with the Boatnik parade that ends at Riverside Park; activities continue there over the weekend with sprint and drag boat racing, carnival rides, arts and crafts, contests, Bingo, food vendors, and numerous other events. On Memorial Day, the Tom Rice Memorial White Water Hydroplane Race is on. This event is named after Tom Rice, a local State Marine Deputy who was very well liked, highly regarded, and lost his life in a 2002 helicopter crash on the river. More activities, a free sundae giveaway, and a second night of fireworks follow.
All of the funds raised from Boatnik by the nonprofit Active Club are earmarked for an impressive list of recipients. In supporting different programs, donations are made to 4-H programs, poor children, Pop Warner Football, the Boys and Girls Club, Girl and Boy Scouts of America, American Little League baseball, DARE, high school scholarships, youth soccer programs, and school programs. The club has purchased playground equipment for local parks; helped needy children and families during the holidays by providing toys and coats; and has provided a hundred thousand dollars in scholarships to area seniors since this program’s inception.
One of Oregon’s largest festivals, the big draw is the hydroplane racing. The drag boat racing over the weekend and hydroplane time trials on Sunday focus attention on the coming Memorial Day hydroplane, white-water racing contest. With timing lights and a scoreboard, sheer speed shows when the racers and their boats perform. The drag boats typically race from 120- to 130-mph and can finish the 1/4-mile course in 6-1/2 seconds. The sprint boats can travel up to 80 mph in their races, but with tight turns through the buoyed course in front of Riverside Park.
The Tom Rice Memorial is the biggest race for the annual Oregon-California River Racers Series and is two complete laps at this time between Riverside Park and Robertson Bridge, thirteen miles down the river. Whether speeding over the Rogue River filled with rocks, rapids, tree limbs, other racers, or racing around a tight buoy course, a certain amount of fearlessness is definitely in order. And all of this is for charity.
