There is no record of her passing the bar in any state after graduating from Pepperdine University. She said she passed the bar in China, but you need to be a citizen to take the exam. She claimed she was also chief legal counsel for a California non-profit ... but lying is a misdemeanor.

How Trump is Privatizing Public Lands

Image of Maroon Bells in the White River National Forest near Aspen, Colorado.  

The Maroon Bells Scenic Area is a stunning landscape that is part of the White River National Forest near Aspen, Colorado.  Beginning in 2027, Pitkin County will take over management and maintenance of the area under a special use permit from  the U.S. Forest Service who is lacking the required staff and budget. 

Trump’s previous DOGE manpower and budget cuts had already reduced year-round personnel by over one-third … operations moved into the red by losing more than $300K per year … and their 2027 budget is slated to be slashed by another 75%.

Fortunately, Pitkin County had the resources to come to Maroon Bells rescue … rather than some concessionaire or developer eager to make use of a legal shortcut known as a categorical exclusion which skips the environmental review and public comment processes in obtaining the new special use permits.

Trump’s Plan … starve the Forest Service of $$$ it needs … xfer land management to the highest bidder!!!

Image of Trump in what used to be respectfully known as the Oval Office in the White House ...

To quote Dolly Parton, "It costs a lot of money to look the cheap"
