Friday’s momentous Supreme Court decision overturning 50 years of Roe v. Wade as the law of the land drew a wild range of reactions over the weekend. One of the most insightful, disguised as satire, was the Babylon Bee’s observation that “Dems pause January 6 hearings to call for insurrection.” Calls for Left-wing violence began immediately after the 6-3 ruling threw out Roe on grounds that activist ideology on the 1973 Court had resulted in constitutional overreach.

This was the message from U.S. Forest Service Officials during a virtual online meeting last night. Ken Pearson, the Law Enforcement Commander for the incident, said about 1,000 people are on site. The gathering doesn’t begin until July 1st. Given the number of early arrivals, Pearson said the event could draw more than 10,000 revelers.

In the appeal, the governor questioned why the Bureau flew the agency’s largest-ever purchase of Wyoming land under the radar until the record of decision was announced on May 18th.
