Today in 1847, the Donner Party was rescued. In case you didn't know, the Donners were a party of gold and land seekers bound for California who got strandede in the Sierra Nevada by snowstorms and ended up having to practice cannabalism. This may well have been the very first instance of airheads in California eating their own.

I think the "airheads in California," Loki, (D)ecided that "cannibalism" may-be a bit too unsavory for the political "elite," so they legalized abortion. Sounds fair to me, huh. Hummmmmmmmmm. And "WE" wonder why and how these secular liberal progressive egg-heads EVER got their stinkin' idiot hands on our {"experimental"} Western free-market Republic's rudder and throttle; "experimental" being the substantiation of necessity. Since our "New World" {at the time}, bitch-slapped King George III with our American Revolution, "WE" became much more than just another numerous "mute" subservient Colony of GB, and God {with the help of our Founding Fathers}, took years and years to draw-up consequential documents that: "{A}re written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the Divinity itself, and can never be erased" {Alexander Hamilton, 1775, "The Farmer Refuted"}. In these past few centuries, our "experimental" Republic became the strongest, most humanitarian nation the world had ever known. "WE" became THE LEADER, as in the "Shining Light on the Hill," by not fearing or wimping-out at the studied and expressed probabilities that a Pilate or Nero or William or Attila or Hu, could, at-any-time, quietly and quite (D)eceptively slither into our free-market society and government, underhandedly proceeding to try to (D)ash our ship against the shore in an attempt to "fundamentally transform" "US." Our "WE THE PEOPLE" government was designed with just such deliberation of history, and the answer was the "controlled crash-tests," in "WE THE PEOPLE" detail, to prevent that from ever happening to America. Well, sure-enough, and sure-enough!!! And "WE" did absolutely swimmingly on the last "crash-test," but it sure was a (D)oozy. Now "WE" just have to mop-up the (R)esulting, rioting and obnoxious, radical Marx/Alinsky "mess"{DJT}. Hummmmmmmmmmm, again. What IS that "crushing" noise I keep hearing??? GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT "45" DONALD J. {BORN-AGAIN} TRUMP (R)!!!

Yes they were. See the map in this link. They were snowed in on the east side of Donner Pass. They were just barely in CA, but they were there when they became snowbound.
