American Patriot Series – Samuel Adams, The Man Who Kept the Revolution Alive
Thomas Jefferson called him “truly the Man of the Revolution.” Governor Thomas Hutchinson called him the greatest incendiary in the King’s dominions. Both were describing the same Bostonian: Samuel Adams, the organizer who turned local anger into a continental cause. About 1772 – Demanding the troops leave after the Massacre. Adams was born in Boston on September 27, 1722, cousin of John Adams and heir to a malt-making family. He studied at Harvard and even argued, in a thesi
Shasta Lake shelter at capacity: Five dogs need homes before Sept. 28
Shelter has only 10 kennels and is full. Lex, Scrappy, Luthor, Bodie, and André need adopters or experienced rescues now. They do not know what kennel space or a calendar date means. They only know that when someone walks toward their kennel, it might finally be their turn.
Donations have reduced several adoption fees to as low as $5–$45. Households with resident dogs must complete a meet-and-greet. Older, respectful children are suggested for most of these dogs; cat compatib

Bear vs a Flock of Chickens - One Hen Left
A West Redding resident's real-life encounter with California black bears on this rural ranch. What a single Shasta County case shows about the West’s surge in human-bear conflict. On a 20-acre ranch in the Centerville area west of Redding, a family kept twenty organically fed hens — no hormones, no drugs — for eggs they could trace to their own yard. The coop was closed at night. Fences enclosed the run. For two months this summer the owners were out of state visiting family

Judge Denies Emergency Hold on Shasta’s 2024 Ballots
REDDING — On Thursday morning, Sept. 17, Judge Benjamin L. Hanna denied Arne E. List’s request for a temporary restraining order that would have blocked Shasta County from destroying November 5, 2024 federal-election materials still in official custody. The ruling does not mean the ballots no longer matter. Hanna said the emergency ask was too extraordinary: telling the County not to follow California Elections Code section 17301 after the 22-month retention period. The under

Why California Diesel Is $8: It Isn’t a Shortage of Crude Oil
Diesel moves the North State. Logging trucks, cattle haulers, grocery trailers, gravel, and harvest equipment all drink it. When the national average crossed $6 a gallon this month — and California pumps ran well past $8 — that was not a Redding quirk. It was our bill for a world short of finished diesel, not a world short of oil in the ground. America is pumping crude at record rates. American refineries are running at almost full capacity. The missing piece is diesel that u

Commentary: Stop pretending November 2024 was “observed”
California does not invite observers as a favor. Elections Code § 15104 says vote-by-mail observers get notice and sufficiently close access—close enough to see envelopes, signatures, and whether staff are following the rules. Chain-of-custody rules exist so a ballot can be followed from the drop box to the sealed bag.

They Won the Vote. Then They Had to Defend It Themselves.
On September 9, Measure B proponents Laura Hobbs and Richard Gallardo appeared on Kim Yeater’s Take Your Power Back show and described the lawsuit in plain terms: citizens wrote a charter amendment, collected signatures, won at the ballot box, and Sacramento sued them while their own county board stepped aside. That is the public record. It is also the story they told on air. Photo credit: TakeYourPowerBack.com What voters passed Measure B, approved June 2, 2026 with about 55

DALLAS — Republicans closed the first midterm national convention in their party’s history Thursday night with a two-day rally at American Airlines Center that organizers billed as a 20,000-person showcase for President Donald Trump, congressional candidates and the Make America Healthy Again agenda.
