This year's ornament features a detailed depiction of the iconic West Virginia State Capitol, as seen from the south side overlooking the Kanawha River. The design also includes the likeness of Gov. Jim Justice's dog Babydog and the state flag. The limited number of 1,000 ornaments are priced at $20 each and are only available at the Tamarack Marketplace at The Culture Center in Charleston.

The asking price is $1.795 million. The former Salt Sulphur Springs resort, known as “Old Salt” by its 19th century clientele, is tucked into a shady, narrow Monroe County valley through which spring-fed Indian Creek meanders, a few miles south of Union. Since the early 1800s, the house has provided lodging for guests drawn to Salt Sulphur's healing springs. A chapel, five cottages, a bathhouse, a spring house and a store building were also built of native stone and completed at around the same time. During “Old Salt's” pre-Civil War heyday, nearly 2,000 guests stayed at the Monroe County resort each summer--many of whom were southerners seeking to escape the season's heat.

It's another huge week in American politics. An assassination attempt, the RNC, and Biden potentially stepping aside. KPW has you covered as we march closer to election day.

Last night in Milwaukee, Ohio senator J.D. Vance accepted the Republican nomination for Vice President of the United States and took his place as former President Donald Trump's running mate.  Vance's first convention speech possibly - maybe - upstaged the cameo earlier in the night from Babydog, a rotund bulldog owned by West Virginia Governor Jim Justice. This was always going to be a big week for Republican politics – but I think it's safe to say that there's been even more eyes and attention on this convention, as it's marking the first major event for former President Donald Trump since the attempt on his life last Saturday. Here to break down the Republican National Convention so far is Jim Brunner,  politics reporter for The Seattle Times.  GUEST: Jim Brunner, Seattle Times politics reporter RELATED LINKS: Top WA Republicans absent from Trump-centered RNC in Milwaukee - The Seattle Times WA union leader welcomes Teamsters president's Amazon-bashing RNC speech - The Seattle Times Tree hats worn by WA Republican delegates get the ax at RNC - The Seattle Times See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by Lawfare Executive Editor Natalie Orpett to talk through one of the most eventful weeks in national security news in recent history, including:“Too Close for Comfort.” Former President Trump narrowly avoided an assassination attempt this past weekend that ultimately left one rally-goer dead and two others critically wounded. While Trump and President Biden both made calls for national unity, several of Trump's close allies were quick to blame the Biden administration's rhetoric painting Trump as a threat to democracy. What will this historic event mean for the 2024 election—and for the rise in political violence and related rhetoric that's preceded it?“Cannon Fodder.” After months of glacial judicial proceedings, federal District Court Judge Aileen Cannon finally did what many of her critics had long expected and dismissed the special counsel's criminal case against former President Trump, based in large part on an aggressive reading of the Appointments Clause and narrow reading of the legislation allowing for the special counsel's appointment. How credible is her holding? And what will it mean for the future of the trial?“Hillbilly Pedigree.” Former President Trump opened the Republican Party's national convention this week by announcing his new pick for Vice President: J.D. Vance, the first-term senator from Ohio, author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” and a one-time critic of Trump who has since become one of his most aggressive ideological allies, going even further than Trump on issues ranging from economic populism to opposition to U.S. support for Ukraine. What does his nomination mean for the race, for the Republican Party, and for the future of national security policy? For object lessons, Alan shared how he rediscovered his love of video games. Quinta brought us another update from the Garden State, regarding the conviction of its senior senator. Scott shared a great story from political history, about the origins of the weird relationship between Richard Nixon and NBA star Wilt Chamberlain. And Natalie endorsed her latest TV indulgence: the HBO show Hacks.Promotion: Use code RATIONALSECURITY at the link here to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan: https://incogni.com/rationalsecurity.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

WVU Tech's Construction Management program joined Jarrett Construction last week for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new space, which is expected to help expand the now only 3-year-old program and attract more students to the construction industry. The project was made possible through funding contributions from Jarrett Construction, as well a work crew able to get it done in time provided by Rob Moyer, the facilities manager at Tech. Jarrett Construction Services President John Jarrett is a former graduate of WVU Tech who has been in the construction industry for 40 years. He said the school is doing a great job training educated, experienced students to enter the workforce, and the company wanted to do something to support their efforts in return.

Twelve therapy dogs across the state are impacting over 5,000 students as they start the new school year. These dogs are part of the “Friends With Paws” program, which brings certified therapy dogs into schools to help students' learning. “You would think these dogs are primarily for elementary schools or middle schools, but the high school students, they have their way with every age group,” West Virginia First Lady Cathy Justice said. Justice started the “Friends with Paws” program in 2022. She said the comfort of her own dog made her see the need for therapy dogs in schools.  “Babydog surely is the inspiration for this,” she said.   Read more: https://www.wowktv.com/news/west-virginia/therapy-dogs-leaving-pawsitive-impact-on-west-virginia-students-as-school-year-starts/ #3 – From WV EXPLORER – More than 20 virtually forgotten islands in the Ohio River in West Virginia are increasingly attracting kayakers drawn by the opportunity to explore one of the nation's evolving wildlife refuges. Amid a landscape pulled from the pages of a Mark Twain novel, the islands, shorelines, and underwater habitat that are protected as part of the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge offer intrepid visitors a chance to explore little-known landscapes. To help increase knowledge about the islands, officials at the refuge are sponsoring a kayaking challenge, inviting paddlers to visit as many islands as possible and share a selfie taken at each with the visitor center staff in exchange for prizes. Michael Schramm, the manager of visitor services at the refuge's visitor center at Williamstown, near Parkersburg, says that only two people have managed to visit all of the refuge islands so far, though many have already embarked.   “It's a very different view of the river than one gets from standing on the shore,” Schramm said.   Read more: https://wvexplorer.com/2023/08/20/ohio-river-refuge-islands-increasingly-attract-kayakers/   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

The good news is that othere is now enough money to connect every home, school and business in the Mountain State that wants it. “There would not be an opportunity to provide, to open up the doors to those types of companies without ubiquitous broadband service throughout West Virginia,” said Mitch Carmichael, West Virginia Economic Development Secretary. West Virginia must deliver its initial broadband plan to the federal government in a month. If approved, the first 20% of the broadband expansion money should arrive in six months and work can get underway. It's hoped every spot in the state will be connected within six years.
