EVERGREEN — Trunks and logs lie askew, fresh-cut stumps dot the landscape and dozens of piles of ponderosa branches, browned and desiccated, sit on the forest floor at Alderfer/Three Sisters park in the Jefferson County foothills. To Ruthe Hannigan, a 31-year Evergreen resident walking through the park on a chilly October morning, the sight of so many downed trees and exposed stumps is tantamount to “a great combination of awfulness.” “They’re not doing fire mitigation, they’re selling it as fire mitigation,” said Hannigan, 75.

It’s November and it’s unseasonably warm as John John Brown, a Muscogee elder, works to replant peach saplings. “I haven’t had much luck growing them from seed,” he says. The reason, he thinks, is because peaches need lower temperatures.

It’s 2024. Will the GOP be in control of the narrative and the state machinery, or will history repeat itself?

The value of “treason” or the more useful “treasonous” is accurately describing things no patriotic, loyal American ought to advocate or do.
