Oregon’s Failed Wildfire Hazard Map Reveals a Wider Scandal ProPublica runs interference for state bureaucrats in a heavily slanted "news" article that dismisses important statistical analysis.It's easy for the rest of the country to ignore what happens in deep blue Oregon. The state that boasts some of the most breathtaking vistas in North America also serves up some pretty crazy political movements. With only eight electoral votes that have safely gone the Democrat's way in presidential elections over the past several decades, the rest of the country has bigger issues that garner more headlines. We generally assume (correctly) that whatever comes out of the state is reliably nutty and leftist, and can be ignored in favor of poring over the news from swing states. A massive bureaucracy, far-left judges, and machine politicians thrive in that lack of scrutiny, creating a dominant power structure that crushes opposition. That ecosystem has created a lack of transparency and a culture of unresponsiveness. It is in that culture that the Oregon Wildfire Hazard Map was born. The rest of America needs to take a lesson from this sordid affair, because these types of things happen a lot more often than most realize. One data scientist tried to analyze the product commissioned by the state legislature and got completely shut out when he attempted to make inquiries into the process. Along the way, he revealed the state of Oregon as guilty of either deliberate manipulation or gross incompetence. This project threatened the property values, insurability, and habitability of thousands of homes across the state.
New Leadership at the U.S. Naval Academy Could Change the Game The Board of Visitors must provide oversight as required by law. The next meeting is Monday, Sept 8th.America’s premier military academies have been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons for several years. Our leaders must return the focus of the academies to preparing battleground warriors, not social justice warriors. Merit, not DEI, must determine the future leaders shaped by the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA). On Monday, September 8, the Naval Academy Board of Visitors will meet at the Library of Congress in D.C. Presidential and congressional appointees make up the board, which includes the Chair, Sen. Dan Sullivan and Vice-Chair, Rep. Rob Wittman. Restoration of America submitted our plan to the USNA Board of Visitors (BOV) that outlines our aspirations to restore USNA to greatness. The BOV would be wise to hear our concerns and consider our solutions. As a watchdog organization on military issues we expose these and other important issues at RestoretheMilitary.com.

Yet drug challenges from Mexico's out-of-control drug cartels remain. The next steps to securing America's border, only on Restoration Spotlight.Mexico teeters on near-collapse, with entire regions ruled by paramilitary cartel thugs. That chaos is bleeding over the southern border into American states from California to Virginia, inviting millions of illegal alien invaders and countless tons of lethal narcotics into our communities. That's changing under President Donald Trump—but challenges still remain. Pinal County, Arizona, Sheriff Ross Teeple joins host Hayden Ludwig as we review the border threat today on Restoration Spotlight.
