RIGHT-CENTER BIAS, MIXED
Globally, there is a movement to remove the residues of Western imperialism from all quarters of society. Throughout the world, monuments dedicated to Western explorers and statesmen are being toppled. Activists in the developing world and their allies in the West assert that developing countries must be permitted to chart a new course without the cultural interference of the West. Yet the West continues a form a colonialism in Africa: eco-imperialism. Because the West’s progressives like this kind of imperialism, we rarely hear anything about it. Reasonable people do believe that developing countries have a right to self-determination, yet the eco-imperialist agenda of the West has failed to invite equal venom. In other words, the West has shown it has every intention of meddling in the internal affairs of developing nations in the name of environmentalism.

Sequoia Chatterley remembered her brother as a “tall, skinny goofball” who also loved his family dearly. “We were very close. We have a big family and he was my half-brother, but that didn’t really matter to us,” Chatterley said. Chatterley identified her brother 22-year-old Jakobe Ford, a Spokane athlete and father to a 3-year-old boy, as the dead victim in a shooting Saturday night. Michael Le, 25, was detained as a suspect in the shooting, which took place in the 400 block of West Sprague Avenue around 11:30 p.m., after a short chase by police on foot.
LETTERS: Rent hikes not sustainable
I have lived at the Hilby Station apartment complex on the South Hill for almost five years. At the end of June, many tenants due for a lease renewal found a letter taped to their front doors informing them of upcoming hefty rent increases. My rent will be increasing almost $600 monthly.
Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Sunday that more “pain and suffering” is on the horizon as COVID-19 cases climb again and officials plead with unvaccinated Americans to get their shots. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, also said he doesn’t foresee additional lockdowns in the U.S. because he believes enough people are vaccinated to avoid a recurrence of last winter. However, he said not enough are inoculated to “crush the outbreak” at this point.
This summer doesn’t look like it’ll be a good one for huckleberry hustlers. Bushes near the Selkirk Lodge parking lot might have been picked over already, and it’s not peak huckleberry season. Still, many berries on Mt. Spokane don’t look especially tasty. They’re often shriveled and lack that sheen a good huckleberry will have. Huckleberry picking will still be OK this year in parts of the Pacific Northwest. Some say that North Idaho berry patches look more bountiful than the Eastern Washington spots. I found a treasure trove of fat, ambrosial huckleberries in Montana’s Cabinet Mountains two weeks ago.
