Plant of the Day
Wednesday 21 February 2024
The evergreen groundcover Stachys byzantina (lamb's ear, bear's ear, bunnies' ears, mouse ear, rabbit ear, woolly woundwort, cat's ear, lamb's tongue, lamb's wool) is ideal for a free draining dry garden. The foliage can look rather sad by the end of winter but all that is needed is to remove any old flower stalks and the foliage will recover with warmer conditions.

Native American Democrat Who's Actually White Running for Governor
Democrat state representative Paulette Jordan is running for Governor of Idaho as a Native American although she's white.
Washington, DC - The Democrats love to play up their racial credentials and appeal to their base under the cover of diversity. Yet with Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren claiming to be a Native American, it's no surprise that this tried and proven campaign strategy would be repeated by another so-called Native American. Paulette Jordan, a 37-year-old Idaho state representative and who claims to be a member of the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, is running as a progressive Democrat to try and become state governor, touting her bid as a campaign to become the country’s first Native American governor. The only problem? Jordan is not Native American - she's white. But that hasn't stopped Jordan for milking her alleged Native American heritage for all it's worth. In an interview she said in her best Native American-speak,
"We're blessed with land. We're blessed with the goodness of what the land gives back to us, and what makes us prosperous and so I think we as leaders can enhance that - enhance the image of Idaho and all these ways."
"I want people to trust and believe that I can make this difference."
Jordan was born and raised in north Idaho and just like Warren claims ancestry from several local tribes. A former member of the Couer d'Alene tribe's council, before the tribe started questioning her racial heritage, Jordan claims her heritage and time in tribal leadership was a key piece of her identity and it plays heavily into her politics,
"I was the youngest person on that council."
"To be able to be in a room with these elders, listening to their needs and their perspectives, their stories and their values - that's something you don't ever want to take for granted."
But perhaps there's no taller story than the yarn being spun by Jordan herself...
