Besty’s Besties: Johnson Sticks with Brown, Kotek When It Matters
by Reagan Knopp, originally printed on The Oregon Catalyst Career Democrat Betsy Johnson is now running as a non-affiliated candidate for governor.

The Quotable Thomas Sowell
A few noteworthy quotes from insightful, level-minded <a href=’https://www.tsowell.com/’>Thomas Sowell</a>, enjoy!
