"Of Bugs and Bellwethers,"
Oct. 24 Opinion
Not wanting to be "that guy," but gonna be that guy—a quick Google search says that mantises are native to Utah.
I don't blame you. I've lived off and on (mostly on) in Utah since the mid 60s and the first time I saw mantises was against the wall of the old Ethan Allen store in the University Mall parking lot in the 70s—or maybe early 80's. I collected a lot of both the brown/tan and green ones to put in my parents' gardens.
But still, I had been interested in them since '75/'76 when I first saw them wild in Maryland and it took me that long to see them wild in Utah. I'll bet if you keep an eye out, and check Google, you'll find a lot more native bugs that look invasive.

They jailed grandmas who gingerly walked into an unguarded Congress building and several Americans committed suicide after the wildly unconstitutional treatment they received by the most ruthless and unethical Justice Dept in our history ... so yeah, let's avoid fascism by any means.

Great article, John Saltas. Thanks Washington Post and LA Times for demonstrating today exactly what our free speech rights will look like when we're living under a fascist autocrat.
Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Sun had the courage to write a spot-on editorial.

I have optimism and hope for the future after the recent rally in Washington D.C. Over 75,000 in attendance—old, young, professionals and non, races of all colors. There were no insults or hateful rhetoric. After it was over, the massive crowd dispersed calmly.
