And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Oregon is sending 60 trucks to help fight the LA fires, but first....
Having worked with as a CERT volunteer for over 15 years and participated in two fire camps at Irvine Regional park I can tell you the inspections are to ensure the equipment arrives AND returns in good condition. It is not just an inspection. Mechanics are available to fix what they find. No department is going to send their equipment if it breaks down or does not come back. Those big rigs are use to short local runs, not 400 mile plus journeys. When California sends equipment to other State, they get the same treatment.
From the article- “Over the past five years or so here in Oregon, we’ve seen historic wildfire seasons and California has been up here every year assisting us with protecting homes and containing those fires,” said Lane County Fire Defense and Mohawk Valley Fire Chief Steven Wallace. “This is our opportunity to return that favor when Oregon’s out of fire season and not seeing those large fires, to go help our neighbors to the south.”
If our governor had any balls, she would have ordered all sixty of those trucks and their crews back and tell califrutipia to stuff it and burn, baby, burn. Oh, and block every highway, road, goat trail into Oregon to any fire refuges. But, we know she doesn't have balls...
Total liberal insanity. Why I left when I did.
