Been off the grid for a couple days backpacking in Porcupine Mountains, MI. Here was my first campsite.

When this whole Epstein files thing started, I was skeptical. What kind of files could still exist with evidence that had not already been destroyed? But there certainly is a massive effort to cover something up. It must be really damning.

SCOTUS Reform is possible if Dems get full control. Pass SCOTUS reform legislation. State in it that if SCOTUS then rules that legislation unconstitutional, expansion of the court will be automatically triggered. Congress has clear authority to set the size of the court, and has changed it before.

Absolutely! 100% agree! The Constitution says Justices serve 'during good behavior'. It does not define what that means. Congress must clarify that with legislation, and stipulate that making a string of obviously non-sensical partisan rulings could end Justices careers. No impeachment required.

Yes! I retired 3 years ago and my only regret is I didn't retire when I was 18!

I love red sumac. One of my favorite plants.

Check out the parking lot at this Ice Age Trail trailhead. More and more people know that walking is good for us both physically and mentally, especially out in nature. Its all made possible by our many volunteer trail associations around the country. Thank you!

I read biographies of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover recently. The Republican Party has been pushing the trickle-down theory for 100 years. Its nothing new. Hasn't worked yet.

During my 6 mile walk yesterday I got my first look at 2 newly created miles of the Ice Age Trail. It has eliminated some of the road walk between the Polk Kames and West Bend Segments. Many thanks to the Cedar Lakes Conservancy for access to their land.

I highly recommend a visit to the Carter family farm where Jimmy Carter grew up, near Plains, GA. Its a fascinating look back to a time and place we rarely see.

Some say he was not a good president, which I would debate, but he definitely was a great man.

No. They're sucking up to him. They know it works. And I for one am not amused by it.

Tax cuts for billionaires. They're not even hiding that.

Raymond Schrab @raymondschrab.bsky.social · 4d

Bad for people on SNAP or the ACA, but GOP will then totally own that. Bad for them.

Mass marketing. Gotta love it. And well, its about the only thing keeping the Post Office alive.

One year ago I got lost in the Porcupine Mtns. My charging cord broke so couldn't use GPS. Fallen leaves covered the trail in a large area. Lost the trail, it got dark, had to hang my hammock in the woods. Next day found my way out just before a snowstorm. Live and learn.

Notice which guy is smiling and which guy isn't.

Raymond Schrab @raymondschrab.bsky.social · 6d

Exactly.

This is good. Lets get a similar group of senators assembled to point out that without a declaration of war, and with no trials being held, the execution of boat drivers at sea is simply murder.

Such an amazing gorge carved through bedrock by such a tiny stream. I wonder how long this took? Parfreys Glen State Natural Area, Wisconsin.

No declaration of war and no trials is just murder. If these people are transporting drugs they should be captured and interrogated. We need the cartel kingpins, not a few seagoing versions of the truck drivers.

None of that really matters. What matters is that he is committing murder on the high seas.

Raymond Schrab @raymondschrab.bsky.social · 7d

For me its hiking and backpack camping. Walk until I'm exhausted, and then sleep in my hammock out in the woods where there's no cell service.

If you want to know what you can do right now, before next elections, shame the people who are enabling Trump. He and Stephen Miller can't do all their evil alone. Without help, they are powerless.

You can see the wheels turning in Marco Runio's head. He's thinking, 'wow, wish I coulda snagged that VP spot'.

My recent hike in Parfreys Glen State Natural Area in the Baraboo Range, Wisconsin.
