The lone Republican siding with Democrats was Rep. David Joyce from Ohio. After promising to direct the House sergeant-at-arms to take Garland into custody, Luna has proposed a daily fine of $10,000 until Garland complies with their subpoena. On Wednesday, Rep. Luna warned Garland that he has until Friday morning to turn over tapes or be taken into custody. “Why should the attorney general, who is supposed to be head of all law enforcement authorities, be any different? Garland still has time to comply with this request. We are asking that he bring the tapes to the house and let us listen to them, but in the event that he does not, we will press forward with calling the privilege motion on Inherent Contempt to the floor on Friday morning,” Rep. Luna said in a press conference. On Friday, instead of bringing a privilege motion on inherent contempt to the floor, Rep. Luna introduced a resolution to impose a daily fine of $10,000 on Garland until he complies. A source familiar with the situation revealed that she agreed to postpone the move after discussing it with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La). Luna later confirmed on X that she plans to call for the vote next week, Fox News reported.

Convention rules are not legal requirements, they are simply rules dictated by the DNC and by tradition.  Delegates that already voted for Biden are supposed to continue their support, but there are avenues by which they can change their minds and trigger an open nomination process on the convention floor.  It’s telling that far-left media outlets like Time Magazine and Politico are already war-gaming the possibility of Biden stepping down; Newsom’s capacity for authoritarianism was made clear during his strict pandemic lockdowns, as was his hypocrisy when he was caught attending lavish parties while millions of other Californians were ordered to stay home and away from friends and family. His one and only talent seems to be a capacity for twisting statistics to fit his false narratives; he has consistently misrepresented California’s increasing economic distress as “success” and downplayed growing homelessness and crime.  His advantage is that he’s able to do this with a completely straight face, and for those unfamiliar with such statistics and how they can be manipulated, Newsom appears knowledgeable and formidable.

The Pacific Ocean has many stories of survival and loss, but few are as heartbreaking as that of Tami Oldham Ashcraft. In 1983, she and her fiancé, Richard Sharp, embarked on a journey that was supposed to be an adventure of a lifetime, sailing from Tahiti to San Diego. But their dreams came crashing down when they crossed paths with Hurricane Raymond. After the storm Tami found herself alone and the ship in tatters. Over the next 41 days, guided only by the stars and her unwavering will to live, she navigated her way to safety. Tami and Richard before the tragic events. Early Aspirations and Love for the Sea Tami Oldham Ashcraft and Richard Sharp were adventurers at heart who both shared a love for the sea and sailing. Richard was an experienced sailor long before he met Tami with dreams of one day exploring the world’s oceans. Their shared passion for sailing wasn’t just a hobby, it was a way of life. In 1983, the couple embarked on what was supposed to be a dream voyage, a journey that would take them from the shores of Tahiti to the bustling docks of San Diego. It was more than just a passage across the Pacific; it was to mark a significant milestone in their lives together. Equipped with Richard’s expertise and Tami’s resilience, they set sail aboard their sturdy yacht, blissfully unaware of the ordeal that awaited them. As they navigated through the tranquil blue waters, their dream voyage took an unexpected and harrowing turn. The Pacific, known for its unpredictability, unleashed one of its fiercest storms upon them; Hurricane Raymond, a Category 4 storm. The little yacht was no match for the mighty storm. The couple found themselves in a dire struggle at the mercy of mother nature. She tried her best to listen to her husband’s commands as they tried to sail through the storm but the wind was too strong, it caught in the sail and spun the ship’s boom with such force it knocked her unconscious.  After the Storm When Tami finally came to 27 hours later, she found herself adrift in the middle of the ocean in a severely damaged yacht. After taking in her surroundings, Tami realized that Richard was missing. After searching the yacht and relentlessly calling out to him, the reality of her situation sinks in. But Tami knows she has to be strong. She doesn’t have time to mourn; she has to live. Unfortunately, the electronics and navigation systems are inoperative, and she has no idea how to sail by herself.  One of Tami’s first steps was to assess her situation and take stock of the available supplies. After searching the boat she managed to find a few cans of canned fruit salad and sardines. She knew that careful rationing was crucial to her survival. Despite her limited sailing knowledge, Tami managed to patch up the yacht with duct tape. She was able to get the craft somewhat seaworthy again, which was pivotal in keeping her afloat. Her efforts included rigging a makeshift sail, which allowed her to have some control over the vessel’s direction, an invaluable asset in the open ocean. Celestial Navigation: A Beacon in the Darkness The only tools that Tami had for navigation were a sextant and a watch which she found floating in the bilge of the boat. A sextant, an instrument that measures the angle between an astronomical object and the horizon, allowed her to calculate her latitude. By measuring the angle of the sun at noon or the angles of specific stars at a known time, and then using tables in the nautical almanac that Richard had brought along, she could determine how far north or south she was from the equator. Setting a Course With her position approximately known through celestial navigation, Tami faced the monumental task of steering the damaged yacht towards land. The closest land to her was the Hawaiian Island of Hilo which was 1,500 miles across open sea. Using her knowledge of the currents and prevailing winds, along with a makeshift sail she had managed to rig from the tattered rags of the yacht’s sails, Tami set a course for Hawaii. Steering the yacht towards Hawaii required constant vigilance and adjustments to the sail and rudder. The damaged yacht was far from ideal in terms of handling and speed, making the journey not only physically exhausting but also a mental battle. Despite these challenges, Tami’s determination never wavered. She kept a strict routine of checking her course, making adjustments as necessary, and ensuring she took advantage of the wind and currents. Sighting Land After 41 days adrift on the open ocean, Tami finally saw the gray silhouette of the Hawaiian islands appear on the horizon. She had made it, against all odds. As she neared the island a Japanese research ship spotted her and pulled her aboard. After learning about her journey, she was taken ashore and looked over by doctors.  Recovery and Reflections When doctors examined Tami they found that she was overall healthy, despite suffering a severe head injury that would impair her ability to read for six years. She documented her experience at sea in a memoir which was published into a book titled, “Red Sky in Mourning: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Survival at Sea”. The book was a smash hit and was translated into eight different languages and published in fifteen different countries. The book was adapted into the film “Adrift”, starring Shailene Woodley as Tami. Today, Tami has found solace and a new life on San Juan Island, located off the coast of Washington, where she continues to pursue her lifelong passion for sailing.
