For people too uninformed ( definetely had another word in mind)  to report the news accurately.....

"The last people remaining at a Dakota Access pipeline protest camp prayed and set fire to a handful of wooden structures on Wednesday, hours ahead of a deadline set by the Army Corps of Engineers to close the camp.
Some of the praying protesters said burning the structures — which appeared to include a yurt and a teepee — was part of the ceremony of leaving. As heavy rain turned to snow, some said they expected no trouble during the eviction, despite a heavy law enforcement presence.

"People are being very mindful, trying very hard to stay in prayer, to stay positive," said Nestor Silva, 37, of California. "I am not aware of any plans for belligerence."
The Corps has set a 2 p.m. deadline for the camp to be emptied ahead of potential spring flooding. A massive cleanup effort has been underway for weeks, first by protesters themselves and now with the Corps set to join in removing debris left over several months."

Headed to the bench.....:-(:-(

Thanks for the information, Linda. I don't know if it is deliberate or people just really don't know any better when they misrepresent what is happening, but I tend to think that it is usually deliberate. As Pat/Birdgal reminds us hate is a very powerful thing, and I would add that so is hypocrisy.

Just got home from taking my mom to the pain doctor. All in all I would say the visit went well, but anything that gets my mom out of her daily routine gets her very agitated, which in turn gets my dad very agitated, and both of them together get me very agitated so I am about to go park myself on the couch, read a mindless book, and let the world turn without my help for a little while. I love them both more than life itself, but moving them to assisted living was absolutely the only thing left that I could do. Otherwise it was simply going to either physically or mentally or likely both completely break me. Now I know they are in a good place, getting good care, and everything that can be done for them is being done. There's nothing more that I can do. I know that, so why do I still continue to let it upset me? I'll come sit on the bench with you Linda, and maybe you can make me laugh myself out of the funk I came home in. Maybe Anne will join us with some of her dry wit and sarcasm. If nothing else it will give my tongue a chance to heal from where I had to bite it so much.

So, what's the latest on KAC. ? ...I know I haven't seen or heard from her lately...

Me???  Sarcastic??   When??? Where ??   Who did it??  Let me at em!



  

People who brag on not watching or reading the news (or very limited news) are not going to get the facts.

Heads in the sand is not good for the Republic.....(and not a good view for the rest of us.  )

Joyce you did the right thing.....you were getting worn to a frazzle......(((hugs)))
