American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber Company and The Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California. MAXXAM SUXX

In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...

Then the Pacific Lumber Company was purchased at a foreclosure sale by The Fisher Family. They had made a fortune selling clothes at a chain of stores called "The Gap". They reintroduced the business plan called "sustainable logging" where the Lumberjacks would only cut down as many trees as grew during the year. This plan was invented by the original owner of Pacific Lumber, Simon J. Murphy... The concept was to cut 1% of the forest every year and plant new trees so that in a hundred years the new trees would have grown big enough to harvest. Read More At:

Headline: Trump pardons junk bond king Michael Milken.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he was granting clemency to Michael Milken, the legendary bond king from the 1980s who served several years in prison for violating securities laws and has since become a prominent philanthropist.

Trump made the announcement to reporters Tuesday, along with the news that he was commuting the sentence of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich and pardoning ex-NYPD commissioner Bernard Kerik.
Milken rose to prominence on Wall Street in the 1980s as the head of the high-yield bond department, also known as junk bonds, at the now defunct firm Drexel Burnham Lambert.
But Milken got tied up in an insider trading scheme and eventually pleaded guilty to several counts of securities violations tied to a scandal with former stock trader Ivan Boesky.

Crime is Much Worse in Republican States than Democratic Ones. Crazy Gun Laws Cause More Murder. The Endless Poverty in "Red" States Causes Increase in Theft, Burglary and Armed Robbery... VOTE DEMOCRATIC NATIONWIDE!

https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem

The rate of murders in the US has gone up at an alarming rate. But, despite a media narrative to the contrary, this is a problem that afflicts Republican-run cities and states as much or more than the Democratic bastions.
In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.
8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.

Red states report higher rates of violent crime than blue states...
https://gigafact.org/fact-briefs/do-red-states-rank-higher-in-violent-crime-rates-than-blue-states

According to 2019 FBI data, seven out of ten states with the highest per-capita rates of violent crime voted Republican in the 2020 election. In contrast, seven out of ten states with the lowest rates voted Democrat.

The Republican narrative on safety is absolute nonsense. People are MUCH SAFER in “BLUE” states...

All across the country, Republicans are focusing their closing message on public safety. And by some accounts in the press and the polls, it seems to be working.

One problem. It’s absolute nonsense.
Republicans do a much better job scaring people about safety than they do making people safer.
Let’s just take a look at three states, for example: California, Texas, and Florida.
Which state has the lowest firearm death rate between Florida, Texas, and California?
California has the lowest firearm death rate.

Which state has the lowest homicide rate between Florida, Texas, and California?
California has the lowest homicide rate.
Which state has the lowest violent crime and property crime rate between Florida, Texas, and California?
California has the lowest violent crime and property crime rate.
But it’s not just crime.
Which state has the lowest infant mortality rate between Florida, Texas and California?
California has the lowest infant mortality rate.
How about drug overdose rates?
Florida’s drug overdose rate is 160% higher than California’s.
How about COVID-19 death rates?
Texas’s COVID-19 death rate is 166% higher than California’s.
The facts are on our side.
Democrats should not surrender on this narrative. Not between now and Tuesday, and not afterward either.
We should FIGHT.
Because the truth is, it is the laws and policies in states led by Republican governors that contribute to these numbers.
People are safer in “Blue” states like California.
And that’s the truth.
Thank you,
Gavin Newsom

David Covarrubias Said:

Republicans are so pro "freedom of speech" that they fought to stop our protests… they claim ANTIFA was a violent organization when it wasn’t even an organization at all… Did you ever see us smashing heads in with hammers or running over and murdering peaceful protestors with cars? Or showing up with assault weapons to silence freedom of speech at protests? Did we storm the nation’s capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government and reverse the vote? Yet they wanted to ban protests and even declare protestors as terrorists… Remember this? But this is all OK for Trumpsters and weak Republican “leaders”… Leaders who’s morality-of-the-day is based in political strategies alone… but all of this is to save American Freedom!!!… Give me a break! They aren’t even OK with the right to vote… From gerrymandering, to voter intimidation, to unfounded voter challenges, to literally breaking into voting machines; they have proven time and time again that they don’t love freedom at all (unless it is for themselves); they just want to win… This is why they will vote for a hypocrite who pays for abortions while preaching pro-life… They would rather suppress a woman’s FREEDOM to decide over her own body than put a person in office who actually has the qualifications to lead… This what they call freedom?
I remember going to Peaceful rallies and having Piles of MAGA wanna be brownshirts waiting at the parking lot just to intimidate us…. Freedom of Speech?
Pathetic for being hypocrites and even more pathetic for believing their own hypocrisy…. My $0.02.

The phrasing of issues and slogans and the reactive responses are so often just awful. Examples: Stop calling the Jan. 6 people the "stop the steal" movement. They are the "Steal the elections" people, the very opposite. They are not election deniers--they are election stealers. Inflation is caused by republican oil company executives raising prices. Crime is rampant in republican majority cities. Abortion rights are an economic issue--ever pay for raising a child or try to work a job while raising one (which is a job)? Not to mention the "right to life" "movement." It's the forced breeding movement. Always call it that or something similar (note how men's responsibilities are 100% omitted from it). And it's not the pro-choice movement--it's the abortion rights movement. And what's the crap about abortion on the same day as birth? Why has no one rebutted that isn't even possible?! And anti-choice people who vote for people who have abortions aren't hypocrites--they are duplicitous. They are oppressors and bigots and know what they are doing. Defund the police? What a stupid saying. Reform the police, sure. Defund is never going to happen so why give the other side ammo? And stop saying tRump believes this or that--you can't know what someone "believes." You can only know what they say or do. Media: stop saying things are good for democrats or good for republicans. Democrats should not be happy that republicans do stupid things or vice versa. I want to know what's good for the country! Lastly, the concept that only republicans can win and therefore anytime they lose the election must be fraudulent--that shows criminal intent not some misguided notion.

For all that they have tried to argue that the midterm election is a referendum on President Joe Biden’s handling of the nation’s high inflation, House Republicans today released a 1050-page “report” laying out their priorities for what they expect will be their takeover of the House.
The report begins as an attack on the FBI, claiming it has been politicized under the Biden administration and is now “broken.” It goes on to echo years of complaints from former president Trump, from his insistence that the FBI “spied on” his 2016 campaign through his complaints about the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago to recover classified documents he took with him when he left office.
Only the first 50 pages of the report are new prose. Kate Riga of Talking Points Memo read the rest and noted that about 1000 of the pages simply reprint letters Republican representatives have sent to members of the Biden administration, including 93 copies of a 5-page letter they sent to U.S. attorneys.
The House Republicans’ plan was apparently to grab headlines with an apparently big “report” and make people uneasy about the Biden administration. The document makes it clear that their priorities if they take the House will be to investigate Hunter Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the evacuation of Afghanistan, immigration policies, and, perhaps above all, Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice (DOJ). But the report is a self-own in that it makes clear that the Republicans have no intention of actually trying to deal with inflation and are instead going to push the investigations that keep their grievances before the media and feed their base.
The House Republicans’ decision to double down on Trump just before the election shows exactly how they plan to govern after it. Leaders like Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would like to downplay the role of the former president and keep voters focused instead on the economy, an issue on which they feel they can make headway as the world is still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic. But extremists in the House are signaling that they are all in for Trump.
Indeed, the timing of the House Republicans’ warning that they plan to launch numerous investigations might well be an attempt to protect the former president by taking the spotlight off Trump’s growing legal troubles.
Today, the former president’s allies told media outlets that shortly after the midterm election, Trump expects to announce that he is running for president in 2024. Knowing he is a lightning rod, Republicans have wanted him to stay out of the spotlight before the midterms, but he now has a reason—aside from the fact that he can never seem to abide being in the shadows—to announce his candidacy.
As Maggie Haberman of the New York Times tweeted: “Trump is facing multiple investigations that his advisers anticipate will heat up again after next week’s midterms, particularly into the documents held for no clear explicable reason at Mar-a-Lago. His advisers say he thinks DOJ will move differently if he’s a candidate.” (The Department of Justice has said its procedures will not be affected by any such announcement.)
Trump’s dangling of a presidential bid is almost certainly related to his looming legal troubles. Yesterday, his ally Kash Patel testified with limited immunity before a grand jury investigating the handling of the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago, meaning he had the option of testifying honestly without penalties or lying and risking perjury charges on this topic. Patel has maintained he is a hostile witness, but there is reason to think he will not shield Trump. Constitutional lawyer and law professor Laurence Tribe commented: “This will break the dam.”
Also, today was the deadline for Trump to produce documents for the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, and the committee this evening announced that it was in conversation with Trump’s lawyers about that production. It continued: “We have informed Trump’s counsel that he must begin producing records no later than next week and he remains under subpoena for testimony starting on November 14th.”
And the January 6th committee has continued its interviews, recently talking to the Secret Service agents who were in the presidential motorcade on January 6, 2021.
Trump has clearly made the calculation that his own interests are best served by teasing the idea of his running for office, despite the fact that many national Republican lawmakers have hoped he would keep his head down.
It is not clear that the idea of a resurgence of Trump will motivate Republican voters. Indeed, so far, election data for next week’s election is not showing the red wave that media has recently tried to argue was in the offing. Pollsters Simon Rosenberg and Tom Bonier both have focused less on polls and more on the early vote, which so far has shown Democrats overperforming. Races are still very close, but the idea of a red wave appears to be premature. The results of the election will come down to voter turnout.
In the midst of all this drama, the social media site Twitter, which was recently acquired by entrepreneur Elon Musk, appears to be imploding. Advertisers are fleeing, and this morning the company fired a raft of employees, apparently illegally in many jurisdictions because he did not give them the warning that laws require. They are now suing.
This afternoon, Jeff Seldin, the national security correspondent for Voice of America News, tweeted that two organizations representing state election officials who have used Twitter to get out reliable election information, including the National Association of State Election Directors, are watching Twitter’s changes with concern. The mass layoffs cut the teams dedicated to fighting election disinformation and communicating with campaign staff and journalists. Further, it currently appears that account verification, which makes it clear if an account is official or not, will end on Monday, the day before the election.
